ive been using swype for a while, but it keeps ending its trial period and says to upgrade ( or something along those lines )

is there a fully working version of this or another swype-like keyboard available that works?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
Here, this version wont ever end.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sorlan:
SlideIT - Absolute Genius Keyboard

Yes, You can try SlideIT.

Available in the Market and works very much like "Swype" - in fact, I prefer SlideIt, which seems to accommodate for the eccentricities of my texting technique better than Swype...

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dEris:
Wow! That is awesome. I tried out the demo and was impressed. Bought it within 5 minutes of using the demo. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] exAusTiN:
Will it honestly never end?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
Yeah, its been modded. It'll never end. I've been using it for weeks, maybe 8? It wont end.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mia9516:
I've tried this apk but i still get the "your trial has expired, please upgrade" dialog box. Any other leads on how to 'fix' that issue? I've already wiped my phone and reloaded Plane Jane v2 but i still get the same error. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] BlueZannetti:
Realistically, your options are...

1. For an Eris, you want an HVGA version. Since Swype is commercial, although still beta, files/threads/posts come and go depending on content. We might as well not make the lives of the staff here more complicated by posting material that they are ultimately obligated to remove. Use google.

2. SlideIt mentioned above. Seems to get decent reviews. Like Swype, it has quirks that you will become familiar with as the system is used. If you're not in the Swype beta, and you can't locate a functioning tweaked apk floating out there, this is likely your best option at the moment.

3. The Swype beta is closed, but it appears that you can register there to get in line if it reopens. Frustrating solution I know.

None of those options are great, but some are better than others depending on your own knowledge base.

New versions of Swype available on my blog at

Have BOTH HVGA and WVGA versions on there. Just look for the swype article
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] malpracti:
Just throwing this out there. I did not waste my time checking out ultra keyboard. It has a swipe feature as well as multi-touch. I swipe in portrait and multi-touch in landscape. Exactly what I was looking for. Lots of customizing options. You can make it look pretty much however you want. Lite and paid versions in the market. Well worth the money, IMHO.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] johnny quest:
Slideit is great but I'm having one problem and I don't know if anybody else is having the same issue and thats the voice to text. I can use it for the first time texting somebody but if I try using it again for the same person it won't work. It'll record but it won't text it out for you not unless I go to my contact list and pick the same contact again then it'll work.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] cstone1991:
nice blog jsuh. i recommend everyone takes a look
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jntt:
i do not see the link to swype can someon help
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] tmason68:
I agree. Awesome blog.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] jsuh:
Thanks, I appreciate it :) Will be getting an Incredible today and leaving the Eris so that's even more exciting, but still hoping to keep making updates for the Eris on my blog. Thanks for the support.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] BlueZannetti:
Decided to take a peek at Ultrakeyboard. Agreed. Well worth the cost (under $3).

If you have a hankering for trace typing, are locked out of the Swype beta or simply don't want to play the expiration dance game that they insist upon, want something supported and available in the market, this is a very nice option. Very configurable (can be a plus or minus depending on user). Dictionary management seems better on a quick look. Highly recommended by me as well.

Ultra Keyboard has become the only keyboard I use. I have it set for trace in portrait and regular multi touch in landscape. You can even use any other Keyboard's theme or create your own.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Im also searching for the ultimate tracing style keyboard as i hate the traditional typing method.

To date i have tried Swype (very average and overated however the new version 3.5.83.26516 is much more accurate). Also there are nice skins out there too.

SlideIT: Great keyboard and i believe is faster than Swype. Can also learn custom words and phrases that you commonly type. ie/ swpe 2 letters that you teach it to replicate an entire sentence. More language support as well.

Shapewriter: no longer supported but if you find the APK floating around, it is by far the most accurate in my opinion and ive used all the ones ive mentioned for months. It looks dull but man is it accurate and fast. smile icon right on the main screen as well which i like. Easy to learn words etc, very no frills but extremely accurate.

FlexT9 Input: They have brought out shapewriter with this release. Also great keyboard in that its very accurate, moreso than Swype etc but Shapewriter has great edit word capability. ie/ just type fast and then select anywhere in the word to get the word suggestions which FlexT9 doesnt have to date.

Ultra keyboard: as others have mentioned, very customisable, not bad. I question the dictionary though and this reduces its accuracy which Shapewriter has otherwise great potential, there is nothing you cant customise.

TSwipe Pro: Only drawback is its dictionary, many words dont exist so its just not as fast as Shapewriter but excellent features, just like Ultrakeyboard. You can customise anything, looks great, great features and one of my favourites but at the end of the day it needs to be accurate and fast as well.

Can anyone else think of anyother sliding/tracing/swping style keyboards, im always on the lookout for one that just excels in every area which im yet to find (yes being picky). Wish one of the keyboards had a combination of them all :-)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] synesthete:
I add another vote for Ultra Keyboard. I think Swype was a bit more accurate in guessing and had a better dictionary, but I was sick of dealing with Swype not sticking.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] JavaFreak:
REALLLY dumb question.... but what is swiping in terms of kbd swipes?? I get the swipe up/down and left right on screens and in apps but when typing?? Confused and want to understand.... laughing welcome :-).
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] synesthete:
You drag your finger from one letter to the next. It is a faster and more convenient way of typing for some people. The swype webpage has some videos and stuff if you want to see how it works. http://swypeinc.com/product.html
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] JavaFreak:
Oohh sheesh... feeling really dumb now. Oh well.. I should've known that based on regular screen swipes... thanks much for answering my question tho and I will definitely check that link out too!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rexboy:
With the new version Swype it seems to work well, no trial period kind of thing. Have you tried Shapewriter, if you search around you'll find the APK.

Ultra is good but from a pure speed input point of view i havent found a tracing keyboard thats faster and easier to learn words etc.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] stellar313:
Good information. I use Swiftkey as my everyday keyboard, but will occasionally switch to a swipe keyboard. I have shapewriter and it isn't bad. I liked SlideIt but didn't really want to pay for the full version. I am going to try Ultrakeyboard since many suggest it.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Have to admit for a tapping traditional keyboard Swift is quite good and it gets better the longer you use it as it quickly adapts to how and what you write.

Shapewriter is similar, on windows platform it was crap but on android it gets better the longer you use it and is generally spot on for me whilst the others sometimes can miss if youre not accurate in your swyping.

Ultra is definitely not bad with alot of customisable options, themes etc.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] phone_cell:
ShapeWriter APK

I too got tired of having to jump through hoops to keep Swype running on my phone. I use ShapeWriter now. I find ShapeWriter to be less user friendly than Swype, but it's not going to expire every month like Swype does. :p

Here's the apk:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Droid_Eris_User:
just started using ultrakeyboard (everyone seems to like/recommend it) and it is sweet. really makes texting/typing fun. i really enoy it. plus the themes are nice... :cool:
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rexboy:
Its definitely one of the most customisable tracing keyboards out there.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] PillClinton:
FYI, for those that didn't know the Swype Beta is now OPEN! I've used it for a while now and have never had a copy of it expire on me.

http://beta.swype.com/
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] stevesk:
Thanks. Will give it a shot.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Wileyworld:
Shapewriter nice and easy switch from swype

I often try new roms, and go thru the process of installing these 2 great slide input keyboards, and I agree they both are HUGE IMPROVEMENTS over stock touch inputs- I hate those after using these slider-style ones. I will NEVER go without one of these. I made sure to back up my shapewriter to my computer so I dont have to worry about it disappearing from the web someday.

But beware, if you try, you'll never be able to live without it!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rexboy:
agree swype style is the best besides swift key which I don't mind for typing.

whilst old and no longer supported I agree shapewriter is the fastest but there is also ultra keyboard, tswipe pre (great customization), touchpal (latest as this texts and swipes with predictive input) htc version floating around that has been ported. still always looking for the ultimate keyboard lol

I have been trying to find the cheapest hdmi cable for the droid x right now. The lowest I can go is $14.29. Also if an admin could allow me post links I would add the link.
[Droid X Accessories] cbaty08:
Is is not just the typical mini hdmi or type a or something? I bought one for like 5 bucks when I bought my Flip a while back... maybe I can use it for this!
[Droid X Accessories] ritkit:
It is Micro HDMI to HDMI.
[Droid X Accessories] ThinkDifferently:
I found the cheapest to be a 1 footer for 11$ with free shipping from Brooklyn on ebay. Also, if you use Bing cash back, you can get 8% off (88 cents :p). I would post links, but i cant.
[Droid X Accessories] lexluthor:
I just searched for Micro HDMI on ebay and came up with plenty of options for $10 or less.

Rule # 1 - Monoprice should always be the first place you look

Rule # 2 - Refer to rule #1

Rule # 3 - Next try BlueJeansCable
[Droid X Accessories] trkin:
I couldn't believe this but, I was at a verizon store yesterday asking about the hdmi cables and another customer overheard me. He pulled me aside and told me that you can get at lowes in the satellite dish dept. He said you could get a 12 foot cord for half of what verizon charges. I'm going to head over there shortly to find out if it's true.

Update... If lowes has them I didnt see them. they had regular hdmi cables but nothing for micro usb. I think the guy misunderstood what I was looking for.

Buying non-oem from china means it'll work for a month then it breaks. Long run you're gonna spend a lot more. Avoid eBay spend a few bucks more and get something reliable.
[Droid X Accessories] drewoid:
I got my hdmi cable (15 ft) and a new usb cause the box one is too short (6 ft) for only 15 bucks from monoprice.com with next day shipping.
[Droid X Accessories] keefles:
The seller "Eforcity" on eBay has a LOAD of cheap HDMI cables, I saw one for $5.50 shipped earlier.

I'd post a link, except this is my first post.

I know i'm a little late here but maybe other people will be able to see it too. Found this on amazon. It's about 2 bucks without shipping and designed for the DX and Evo.

I think this is in the right forum, but if not please move, and accept my apology. This past weekend I switch from Leofroyo to CM6. I also tried intersects new kernel and the new radio. After this I get constant disconnects to all of my Wifi spots. I have sense reflashed the froyo radio and the froyo kernel with both CM6 & Leofroyo and still can not connect to Wifi. Does anyone have any clue as to what might be the problem? I would greatly appreciate any help or advice as it would suck to no longer have wifi capability. Thank you in advanced.

Hi guys,

I had been facing problem of QuickGPS not able to auto update by itself. I had set the expiry to 24hrs and each day i just see a red "expired" in QuickGPS and when i manually click download, it does without problem. The next day, it the same thing with the red "expired" appears.

When i restart my device, it is able to auto download. 24hrs later, it doesn't download anymore unless i restart my phone.

anyone facing this problem.?
[HD2 General] dahauss:
YES I have this issue and I dont know how to fix.. it just says EXPIRED and doesnt do the auto-update even though I have it set for auto-update.
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Have you set your data connection off or using nodata?

In QuickGPS -> Menu -> Options - what boxes have you got ticked?
[HD2 General] dahauss:
There is no MENU-OPTIONS in quick GPS.. when I go into quick GPS, I get a screen that show OPTIONS and DOWNLOAD

under options I clicked all 3 boxes for DOWNLOAD SATELLITES AUTOMATICALLY, DOIWNLOAD WHEN ROAMING and DOWNLOAD WHEN CONNECTED TO A PC VIA ACTIVESYNC.

It doesnt download when it expires and doesnt download on activesync....
[HD2 General] ra9na:
The same problem here... Don't know what's going on, but I think it's a bug.
[HD2 General] dahauss:
I had it working in 6.1.. there has to be a fix or something as I see other who are on 6.5 both STOCK UPDATE and custom UPDATE and they say it auto-updates...
[HD2 General] knobbyhtccruise:

same here

doesnt update auto on stock o2 rom or NRG rom
[HD2 General] niggle1:
Same here, on NRG 25th Aug ROM
[HD2 General] kuklei:
Quick GPS does not auto update

Same here on NRG 02.Jul.2011 Titanium version. Ony one found a solution to this yet? This can make the NRG rom a no go for me as I would like the fix to be automatic and not click download each time my TomTom is failing.

:(

This is just an announcement...

Since I have to focus on my Advanced Level study in the coming term, I must apologize that the about distribution of my ROMs will be the last time within 2010:o.

I currently finished the cooking of ROMs based on build 21909(no 21911 as it has serious bugs), and I am going to release them now:D. In the future, I will release the ROMs based on builds 23127(23128 has serious bugs as well) and 23569.

On the other hand, I decided to re-cook the ROMs based on build 21057 - yes, the last build of WM6.1 - since there was fatal bug in the version WWE_040910_B2_DS. I haven't started it yet, but I will let you guys know whether the bug fixing is successful or not;).

This is just a request...

Please, if anyone know how to perfectly fix the problem of "Internet Explorer cannot download blank." in the Internet Explorer in COM3 and later branches of build, tell me as soon as you can. I do not want to release a final ROM with bugs anyway:o...

In another word, if I cannot fix that, I may not release the COM3 and COM5 ROMs...

That's all.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roland Deschain:
I've seen a lot of info about the overall feel of the Galaxy S being a bit sluggish in various ways, and it looks to be due to Samsung not storing all the apps & such it comes with in NAND memory but rather on the SD card, which is slower.

My question is, has anyone tried sticking a Sandisk Ultra memory card (or one of the few other existing 'superfast' memory cards) in the Galaxy S to see if that helps the overall performance/responsiveness in any noticeable way? I don't know if this would even help, since it may not help response times to the cards and that's probably where the performance increase is coming from when storing the stuff on the NAND memory rather than higher data transfer rates via a good micro SDHC card.

Just thought I'd ask.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tachikoma_kun:
As far as I am aware you can't change the internal SD card. The external SD card is the one you can replace, and you can't install to that one yet until Froyo (or you root it)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roland Deschain:
I was assuming root :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RussST24:
There is a great thread at Modaco about this.

The app data is stored on the internal memory card which is slow.

When you have root you can sym link it back to nand memory and my phone is now lightning fast.

Russ
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
can you sym link it to the external sd instead? would it be fast enough? what would happen if the external sd was mounted to the pc?
