[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
That's AWESOME news!!! Thanks for writing back!!! Yea I can see how people who dont know how to use it can dislike it or have a hard time....but honestly I think its very easy to use and simple..no?? LOL... It's the best on screen keyboard I've ever used hands down and look forward to continue using it on my android htc evo once I get it!!! :D

So you just installed that file from post #3 and then it was there under the kb selection when you go to write and email/sms and thats it?? easy to install??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajftl:
ok i just installed it.. seems good.. havent test it a whole day but works good so far.. i downloaded appinstaller from market then u would have to go to applications and check mark the unknown sources. just drag the app to ur sd once is there unplug the phone and open appinstaller swipe should be there. install it and done
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
sweet thanks for giving it a try and getting back to us all with the info!!! :D

btw does the keyboard have the speech button so you can speak an e-mail/sms like other android kb's?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] notoriouspyro:
On mine, I'm actually running shape keyboard. Same difference and it was free off the market.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajftl:
no speak option in swype
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MRFERRARI23:
I see, hmmm... is that a deal breaker or not lol... it might not be b/c I like SWYPE way to much!!! but good look on posting a pic of it!!! what's ur take/opinion on it?? works good like its supposed to etc???

Who knows, maybe when the official one drops, it'll have the speech button etc..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I'm just glad to see that it is working! I can't live without my Swype!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Alto101:
Care to share the link to download 1.56? Thanks:)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mr.almeida:
I guess I had a trial version because mine stopped working today. "Trial version ended" Where can this 1.56 be acquired?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Repnepto:
So has anyone figured out where to get a non trial version or how to fix this trial is over bs. Im too in love with swype not to have it.

What's going on? Why is everyone saying it's broken? I'm using com.swype.android.inputmethod.v1.56.30.7625.WVGA.HTC_IME.apk and it's working fine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mr.almeida:
I tried to uninstall it and then reinstall, but I still get the "Trial Ended" prompt.

is there anyway to hack a speech to text button on the swype keyboard?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mastermayhm:
would be badass if they added a speech to text into the swipe keyboard
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] deonjahy:
trial period ended

I used the copy of swype that was in post 3 on the first page and now 11 days later it is saying that my trial period has ended and please upgrade my copy. I would pay for it if I could but is there any workaround for this? they still havent officially released anything right?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ethinton:
I am in the same boat as the poster above...any suggestions?

Fixed: Downloaded 1.56, uninstalled the previous version, and reinstalled; the file can be found in Post #118 in this thread.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skoobz:
ok, between unlocking my psp, tp, tp2, pre, and this evo...i can't for the life of me install swype to the success many of you are reporting?!! WTF, this should be soooo simple. unistall swype, then reinstall the 1.56 and things should be good? i still get the message.

1) unistall

2) install.

Am I missing a step?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] youngstatus:
ONe thing that i need to know, I have big fingers, I CANNOT use the qwerty or compact, Does swype allow for phone keypad or is there an add-on as i search through the swype settings nothing seems to correct this issue:(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] spiicytuna:
same question, which version of the two are ppl using? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] herbthehammer:
I wished that the company that makes swype would quit screwing around with these betas and release something in the market! The way I feel now is that I don't care if it's a little buggy now, release it already! Seriously, I don't know why they are taking this long to test this. So many people already love it and would be willing to buy it and support the developers. Sigh....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jj970:
Trial period over??

I used the Swype apk from this post and followed the directions. Swype is awesome and I'm now a fan...

Today though, I get a popup that says my trial of Swype is over and it won't work anymore...

What gives?

Thanks to any who reply.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Devilbear:
This Dude Posted the new Link for Trial Over Msg.

All you need to do is uninstall old version and install this one.

Uninstal using this program

Estrongs Task Manager or Uninstall from market they are both free and

they both work great but Estrong also gives you task manager options to kill apps that just take CPU Mem.

Since im a Junior member im not allowed to post links so just copy from droid-life... paste on new browser and bing your a go.

Hope Was of Help.

Hey guys... It looks like SWYPE that comes pre-loaded on the new Motorola droid x actually has the speak button that all android KB's have!!!

Here's the link to the video from engadgetmobile go to the 3:28 mark to see the swype kb in action!!! http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/motorola-droid-x-first-official-hands-on-and-unboxing/

Let's hope that it gets ported so we can use it as well and not have to use these beta's!! O maybe soon the kb itself will be released by swype themselves!!!

Where is the Swype apk installed at? I need to remove it and reinstall it but I can't find it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jolugo:
I know that the Q is supposed to change the language, but when I press and hold, I don't see any options in the list and if I go to the swype settings, I see languages grayed out.

Any ideas? Do I need to install something else to make other languages available?

Thanks.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] makisupa79:
I downloaded and installed the above apk linked in post 3 of this thread. problem is, when i load it up, I get a message saying my trial period has ended and I need to upgrade my version of swype. Then swyping doesn't work, even with swype selected as the input method. Regular touch input however does work. Any fix or other apks I can try to get this to work? thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] heyeng:
Yep, that one is expired. Go deeper into the thread and find the newer one (can't remember how far in an I am too lazy to go find it) then uninstall the old one and reinstall the newer one. I did this about 3 days ago and it works great!

which thread? and what ROM you running does it matter?

i installed it from i think thread number 23.. and i see the whole keyboard and everything but it doesnt input the word just the shadowed line i see following.

now i have DC v3.2.3

radio 2.05

does that matter?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 355spider:
Glad I am not the only one it didn't work for.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Christendom:
I'm able to install the .apk, enable it in settings, but the keyboard doesn't have the swipe option on it.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 355spider:
Ok I installed it and changed to swype in my settings but when I open something to.write its the same old keyboard. Is there another box I have check or something.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] 355spider:
after trying to get swype installed I gave up and went with slide it andI really feel its even better. plus it has voice recognition.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] LAYGO:
I'm an ultra 'Droid n00b (5 days old w/my EVO), but followed the guide, got it installed & using AND LOVING IT! Now to root this bad boy!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Impulses:
I got into the beta when they re-opened it for a few days recently, so I'm using w/e version their installer downloaded for me (probably the latest)... But I really wanted to try out the Droid X version w/the voice input button, I had seen a link for it but it seems it expired or something and they took it down. Does anyone have a working apk for the Droid X version w/the voice input button?? Sorry if it's been asked before...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] D623:
Just tested out swype on the new apk, works great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] volcomjerk:
Is this going to become official for the EVO? I've installed 1.56 successfully and I'm never going back to anything else.

Will they be charging for this once it comes out? Not that I have an issue with paying to support further development but I'm just curious how they are making money on such a wonderful innovation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sprtjnkie:
I d'loaded from the OP on page one, got 1.56 on my EVO and it's working just fine.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Impulses:
From what I've heard their plan IS to start selling it on the market once it's out of beta, mind you it's been in beta forever and it's already available for other OS. Right now they're making money on it anyway by striking deals w/certain manufacturers and bundling it on some phones (Samsung and Moto IIRC).

The only thing they need to change to make it perfect for me would be adding a voice input button, the Droid X version has it and supposedly they're working on it for all versions (adding the button in certain text fields could cause errors so it's not a matter of simply tossing it in there and having it full-time). The other tweak I'd like to see is the option to disable localized or language-specific punctuation. At first I thought the fact that it added in accents automatically in Spanish was awesome BUT when I text friends on AT&T it causes errors (just one accent fills the entire txt with question marks in between every single letter, doesn't seem to happen when I txt people on T-Mo).

For one-handed vertical operation Swype is definitely the fastest most accurate keyboard I've tried by far tho... For landscape use, which I prefer when writing long e-mails sometimes, I like SwiftKey or HTC's own keyboard. I'd be willing to pay as much as $5-10 for Swype, easily.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] skydeaner:
ZOMFG to think all this time i was living without knowing about the arrow key popup swype-sym thing. Too badass lol.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cb7tuner93:
Question?

Does it have the voice search option?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Impulses:
No. There's a version out there (from the Droid X) that has it, DroidLife had it uploaded for a while on a site, now I can't find it anywhere... I'm still using it as my primary keyboard because unlike the HTC keyboard or Swiftkey I can switch languages with just one button press, and I'm way faster on Swype than on anything else anyway... But the voice command button would make Swype perfect for me.

FWIW, if you use Handcent to txt, then HC will add a voice input option invoked by the menu button, but that'll only help ya with SMS and not any other text field on the phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] southbayboy4:
I can't get it to work on my Evo. I install it but when I go to the edit text area, it doesn't give me a text imput. Just a paste button

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mtnmedic:
Works for me!

Just got my EVO from Sprint yesterday evening and have been happily setting it up since.

I downloaded the latest version via the link in the first message of this thread and followed the directions. Works like a charm. Will be trying it out through the day to see how it does. I can't believe how easy it is to use and how accurate it is. I've made a few errors but I can see where the tolerance is actually pretty generous.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thekimster:

Thank you so much op for the links. I downloaded the version in the first link you have setup (the one hyper linked with the word here). Any info on the "safety" of that apk? I got that standard warning on data collection but thought yet would be a good idea to check anyway. Thanks a lot!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] :
Haha I didn't know that either! Learning this made me read the swype instructions and my swyping has improved so much. Swype is such a killer app,i always use it as my demo app. One of the few things even apple fanboys can't talk their way out of, blows them away.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EFSOHC:
Well I downloaded it and installed it to my HTC Evo, as soon as i put it as my input method in a text it said I needed to upgrade it?? Also - it will let me tap each key to type but its not letting me swype type.. whats goin' oN!?
