I figured out that the larger file size is due to multiple languages. NBD. And i imagine that the flat look is just a skin.

Anyone know of a skin that i can apply to make the keyboard look better?

Currently running swype ver 1.61 on my Evo.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] badassdes:
Sorry for the silly question.... Newbie here. I installed V 1.60.36.8214

When you indicate V 1.61 you are talking about the same version? The version that I installed it does look 'cheaper'... But at least is working. I love this App :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bluebeast213:
1. Correct you are.

2. I created a sweet carbon fiber skin for the one with a mic.....but now it's expired.

Anyone know how to use parts of this one to make the mic one work? I tried transferring the license.dat file, but that didn't do any good.

If all else fails, I'll edit the skin to work on this version.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bgrove:
Thanks for the response. If you edit the skin PM me. Definietly interested.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ccctexas:
Were you able to fix this? Mine is doing the same thing. Uninstalled 1.56, searched for every swype file on EVO and deleted...installed from link for 1.60 and voila...still had 1.56???
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] shotshot:
Yeah, if you could PM me as well, I would love a better swype skin :) I don't think I truly realized how much I love swype until yesterday when it expired, lol. I really can't text without it haha. Where the hell can we get a non trial version? I'm still perplexed as to why it wasn't included on my EVO from the beginning?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bgrove:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Swype>Uninstall.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] shotshot:
Yeah, I tried that but it just won't change from 1.56 to 1.61 strangely. Where can I find 1.60? maybe I'll have better luck installing that version. Anyone have a working link for evo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ccctexas:
K. After many tries. I finally got 1.56 off and 1.61 on...and working. Unistalled 1.56 from settings/applications.manage applications/ ..find Swype and then uninstall. But only 1.61 would reinstall..finally. Question...this issue is so "hot" and so many moderators getting all crazy over EVO users trying to use this great app..since there is a working version, why doesn't Swype just release the darn beta version for free to ANYONE who wants to try under beta ground rules - in other words, open the beta back up - then when they are done messing around, charge, if they want - I for one , would pay.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] shotshot:
can anyone tell me the difference between the wvga versions or the hvga versions? I'm using the EVO with semi new version of BakedSnack rom and I couldn't get the swype 1.60 hvga to work but then I tried the swype 1.60 wvga apk and I got it installed. Does it matter between the 2 versions? I don't want to run into FC's later down the road etc.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ManUtd777:
Ok guys, sorry to post this question a 3rd time, but I really am curious. Is 1.6 and 1.61 trials as well?

Is there one that lasts indefinitely?

When you sign up for the beta on swype, what do you actually get? (a swype that will work forever, or a trial)

Thanks Guys
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wlpywd:
awesome thank you. skin with arrows?

is it possible (and worth my time to learn how to make a skin) to make a skin for skype that includes the 4 direction arrows accross the bottom like the touch input keyboard? a mic would still be nice too. I'd try to learn and make one if its possible, i just don't know squat about what all a skin can do on skype other than change the appearance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] J24BAIL:
You get acess to the Beta's and all the new Ver's they bring out Ive waited a year to get my approval for beta

And yes all vers are just trials till the final beta is closed and and they release the final code
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] J24BAIL:
I'm glad I could Help out 1.61 was fully mentioned with where to find google

but if that ver works Id stick with it

the gods have smiled upon me

first off i want to say thanks to all. i'd just installed it last night and was amazed, only to have it expire within an hour. i thought i did something wrong as i was going through the tutorial and it just beeped when i swyped. needless to say i was addicted and swype withdrawl set in instantly. i began searching the net feverishly for a fix,and through the shakes and sweats finally found this thread, and it works im sooo not worthy of this greatness.:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jayarkay:
I want to echo criffaaa1's sentiments. Thank you guys! This evening, when my earlier version expired, it sent me into a minor panic mode and started searching desperately. Found this post and downloaded 1.61 and I can now breathe easy again - well, at least until this version expires :).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] durden0:
Thanks for all the work and guide, 1.61 working great on my evo here.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ManUtd777:
Thanks for the info. Sucks that they are all trials. After it expires it leaves us with bad withdrawal symptoms. :D I just signed up for the Beta, by your time period I guess I better not even think much about it. hahaha

I figure we'll have to keep depending on the Great people on this forum to give us our next hit after this one expires. Thanks All. :cool:

Can someone tell me how I can get a newer version of swype to work if the rom I'm using had an older version built in to it? I uninstalled the older one using titanium backup and rebooted. Then installed the newer version but it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Please, somebody?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Torosax:
Thanks a lot to everyone for all the posts and links to the newer versions! My swype expired yesterday and I haven't had time to come on here and see if there was a newer version until now... I was to the point where I honestly didn't text anyone unless I had to cuz it was soo awkward. I haven't texted with the regular keyboard since launch day! It felt so wrong lol.

I really like the new .61 version too... Can turn off the clicking sounds after entering words and I also like that it has all the extra languages!

Once again thanks to everyone!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] toastcfh:
Do not post links to this apk or cracked versions of it. It is considered warez. Keep this clear of anything like that or ill be forced to lock the thread. Thank you carry on

So the swype file thats on page 1 post 3 works perfectly on the evo?? AWESOME... extra conformation is always a big plus for all of us!!! :D;)

thanks for the file and the feedback!! always much appreciated!! now I just can't wait to get my evo on Friday 3 days 5 hours 53 minutes lol ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] PhilR8:
I just downloaded the swype file from earlier in this thread, dropbox'd it to my Evo and installed. Works great so far. This is my first experience with swype so I went through the tutorial and then typed up a few trial emails. I think I like it. Everything works and looks fine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mitch27:
Will it expire?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
out of curiosity once you install it, at any point can you switch and use the htc stock keyboard if you wanted or is swype the only one you'll be able to use???
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Re: Swype for the EVO?

You can switch any time you want using the same long-press method used to enable Swype.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
AWESOME.... that's all I needed to know lol... I just wanted to make sure once you installed swype if you could switch to any other kb whenever you wanted to and the answer is YES! Not that I'd want to switch from swype b/c I absolutely LOVE it... the only reason I would consider switching sometimes is b/c the swype kb doesn't have the voice button so you can speak your emails/sms :mad:

EDIT: How easy is it to install the SWYPE kb on Android?? I only ask this b/c the HTC EVO will be my first Android device, I'm coming off of a Touch Pro 2 and haven't really messed around with the Android OS to much just here an there!! I'm far from a tech noobie and I'm sure I'll catch on just fine, I was just looking for some beginners assistance!! =o) THANKS!!!

Could someone post a screen shot of it in use? Or better yet a vid?

Kinda interested in this, looks really awesome
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Re: Swype for the EVO?

To install you just download the provided .apk to your SD card, make sure installation of non-Market apps is enabled, navigate to its location using a file browser like ES or Astro, then click it to install. You then go to "Language and Keyboard" in the settings menu and enable it. Check YouTube for videos of it in action. There are plenty.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
You enabled it in "Language and Keyboards," right? Go to any text input field (like a text message or search bar) and press it until you get a popup that will have an "input method" option. Select it and pick Swype.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] m3latino:

I've installed the apk and enabled Swype on my EVO but the keyboard remains the same standard keyboard it came with. I have read and re-read this thread and I don't believe I am missing anything.

I installed the appinstaller, enabled installing from unknown sources, installed Swype, accessed Language and Keyboard from Settings, enabled Swype.

Can anyone help me out here?

now open up anything you would type in i.e. text message

long press where your going to type until menu pops up... select input method, now choose swype

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MagnusRagnarok:
I posted a black glass swype in hero and many did not know how to install it for some reason. There are two seperate ways to install it and the main reason ppl cant get the apk to work is because w/o the libswype.so in the libs folder inside system, it will expire for some reason(doesnt make sense cus its just a hardware emulation device driver)and/or not work properly or @ all for some. On a few hero roms i put together, i tinkered until i could get it to work out the box for everyone, and i got it a while back. First i really like swype. I look thru xda for anything interesting (which i suggest others do as well), and i found an android/swype hybrid kb made by shoebox. I took it, ported it, and made the trial a full edition. I also themed it red,blue,cyan,green,gold/yellow. When i have some more time i will port them to the version for hd phones, put them in an update.zip for those with root, and in an apk for those that dont....FYI gimme a few days to get settled in with my evo, im satisfied so far, no need for root..........YET:D​

I have not mastered capital letters yet. I know you go UP on the letter, but that screws my direction to the next letter and fubars my word. Any tips?

Are you sure that you enabled it properly?

From the letter you want to capitalize, just go immediately up, then resume your word. Do it quickly and your word won't be messed up.

Yeah, you have to go all the way off the keyboard. You should see the letters all switch to upper-case while you're up there. It should not affect your word, though.

I don't mind the look of swype being different from the Sense UI, however I dislike the space bar off to the right in landscape mode :( boo.

other than that I love the program... takes a while to get used to.

Anyone know how to add words to the library? I type "Yo" a lot and it seems every time it wants to put "to"
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
You can add words by either typing the word and hitting the "Swype" key or just by putting a space after it. I've always used the second method, and it adds all of my words.

Guys I have an issue with Swype. When I type the letter A it auto fills someones long email address. I have to erase it so I can only input the A. It's really annoying since most sentences contain a letter A.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] danknee:
To remove a word from the dictionary, highlight only the word that you want to delete, and then tap the Swype key. A message screen will display to confirm that you want to delete the word.

You need to highlight the "A" email address and press the Swype key to delete it from the dictionary.

in what field? when i type it in mine doesn't do anything but put in the letter.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Impulses:
Does either Swype or the stock HTC keyboard have an option to easily change the language being used? My old dumbphone had this feature and I see a setting for it on my EVO (burred deep in the settings page) but I can't seem to figure out how to switch languages from the keyboard itself... Kind of indispensable for me, at times I alternate between English and Spanish multiple times per message. :p

Forgive me if it's a noobish question, I only got my EVO yesterday and it's my first Android phone, haven't had much time to play with it yet!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kpoz:
