I think it has to do with the browser reporting it is Macintosh instead of Android. So I downloaded to the beta apk with the installer on my phone and then copied the downloaded apk to the Nook. But all I get is a white blank space where the keyboard should appear.
[Nook Color General] tedkoly:
from the redditt discussion linked to this thread it seems that Swype validates devices installing the beta based on them having a valid IMEI or MEID. NC doesnt' have one obviously. I'm assuming that spoofing that would be very difficult. Too bad Swype won't release an installer that doesn't need a valid IMEI
[Nook Color General] captfoss:
Swype will only display on screens the same resolution as it was compiled for... your phone probably isnt swvga so thats why you cant see the keyboard...
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
Yeah - so unless Swype changes something to accomodate the NC, it looks like trying to get the Galaxy Tab version is our best bet. Plus it looks much better than a lower-res version of Swype would on our big screens.

I'm using it as a tap-only keyboard now, and I much prefer it to the Droid X keyboard on the NC: looks gorgeous with nice big buttons. To use it as tap-only, just track down the Tab's Swype files (Google: tegratab Swype Galaxy Tab), adb the libSwypeCore file to system/lib, then adb the apk (renamed to LatinIME.apk, after backing up your current keyboard) to system/app. ...all the mucking with the build.prop is to try to get the actual swyping to work.
[Nook Color General] nrune:
Any chance they would respond with a request for support?

[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
I believe they indicated that B&N would have to ask them to support it, but I don't think they really understood that the request was for support of end-user rooted NCs, not stock ones.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
So after more playing, it seems that setting the board in build.prop to anything other than zoom2 causes the system to crash on sleep mode. Swype only works if the board is set to match the Tab. So it looks like our best bets for getting Swype in here are a) Swype accomodates rooted NC's for the beta, b) a future custom ROM can spoof a Galaxy Tab without crashing, or c) someone in the "naughty forums" cracks open the Tab Swype apk to allow it to work on any WSVGA device.

. . . in the meantime, I've found that SlideIT keyboard has actually improved since I last tried it, and it works perfectly on the NC. Just purchase it, install (it won't work), copy the apk somewhere (it'll be in data/app/com.dasur.slideit.apk), then use the usual method of adb pushing it as system/app/LatinIME.apk. Reboot and it'll be your keyboard.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
So basically we're dead in the water?
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
Unfortunately, that's what it smells like.

I'm sure there is someone out there that can do it. As someone stated, a person in the more nefarious areas of Android might be able to persuade it to act nicely.:)
[Nook Color General] chaloney:
2 questions

Ffirst, I an new to android, especially moving around and installing files. Is there any way to do this using a file manager like astro?

Second, I assume this will replace the standard keyboard. How does one restore the standard keyboard if slideit is not satisfactory?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] chaloney:
never mind, I figured it out. root explorer works perfectly. astro doesn't seem to be able to copy and paste files. enabling the apk wasn't necessary, so backing up the multi-touch keyboard wasn't necessary either. copying to the sd card with root explorer worked though. to restore I copied the multi- touch .apk back to system/app then tapped on it and installed it, all with root explorer.
[Nook Color General] watzone69:
I got Swype working on Froyo Nookie thanks to wvcachi.

Go to tegratab.com and find the files you need. Edit the build.prop to change the device ID stuff (use the one in the OP as a guide, I copied most the top part). Push that back to /system/ and then push the apk to /system/app/ and the lib file to /system/lib/. Reboot and set it up in Settings > Language and keyboard the way you like it. Long press a text field, select input, pick swype and start swyping!
[Nook Color General] ChefZiggy:
I'll have to try this. I went through the Market SLideIT installation and it seems to work as long as I have an internet connection. It wants to check it's licensing file. With the adhoc dropout on sleeping, this got to be a hassle. Does yours have this problem?

(I am SOOO missing Swype.)
[Nook Color General] mattphoner:
So, I followed the instructions on the TegraTab original post, and I edited the build.prob with the Sprint, SPH-P100, and samsung changes. I cant get it to register using the swype method, only the tap keyboard. It will trace my finger, but no words type. Are there other changes that need to be make to the build.prop?
[Nook Color General] MACLUIS1:
Try Tswipe a Thai keyboard thats as good as Swype $3.99.

Is this on stock rom or Nookie Froyo?
[Nook Color General] mattphoner:
I believe it's only working on Froyo, stock=Eclair.
[Nook Color General] GirLuvsDroid:
The new June Swype beta, released just yesterday, works perfectly on my Nook Color without any mods to build.prop. They even changed the theme for the stock beta so it's much more attractive now and they made some great improvements. I'm unable to post links because my post count on this forum is so low, but you can go to forum dot swype dot com/forum dot swype dot com and check out the Swype Beta Program News.

I don't know if this matters, but I'm running CM7 n101 with the SynErgy theme.
[Nook Color General] Modded Darts:
Can you use the swype beta with a modded build.prop?

I changed my build.prop so I could use netflix but when I try to type swype forces close.

Ps this might not matter but I am using phiremod v6.1.
[Nook Color General] gadzooks64:
On a whim I installed Swype Beta on my phone and Nook a couple days ago and it works fine on both. I noticed that the theme was different on each but no clue why. Works like a charm.
[Nook Color General] mohcho:
I just installed the beta on my NC. Works great. Running CM7.
[Nook Color General] stud_muffler:
I had installed Swype beta on my NC with CM7 without a problem. I had to use Dolphin browser in mobile mode for NC to be recognized as a phone when click on the link from Swype email. Awesome keyboard.

:cool:
[Nook Color General] barbo:
Swype is working quite well, I only wish there were arrows to move around the text.
[Nook Color General] barbo:
My bad... I just found out there are arrows and I am so happy. If you swipe from the Swype key to the symbol key some editing stuff and the arrows pop up - YIPPEE!

[Nook Color General] macmind:
I have been able to get Swype installed and working on both a rooted (manualnooter-5.12.20) Nook Color (1.3 don't like 1.4) and an HTC HD2 running ICS (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-SD_v1.2) from an SD card after a LOT of reading, searching, trial and error. I came up with these instructions and they work for me every time. I hope they help others as well.

1. Copy all the apk files to system/app - verify the permissions are checked as follows: all 3 in the first row are checked and the first one in the second row. No others should be checked. (the apk's are com.swype.android.inputmethod-1, Keyboardmanager.1.7, Swype-Installer 12-22-2011)

2. Copy the lib file to system/lib. (the lib file is libSwypeCore.3.26.92.37604)

3. Install the keyboard manager apk.

4. Install Swype apk.

5. Install Swype installer apk. (It may say it can't run but thats okay. If it does, just enable Swype.)

6. Run Keyboard Manager. On the Nook, check Swype as the keyboard to use in both Portrait and Landscape orientations. On the HD2, check Swype as the keyboard to use, then go to Settings, Language & input. Then chose Swype again and then click on the settings link to the right of the name Swype. Click on Select Input Method then chose Swype yet again.

Swype should work now.

The links for all 4 of these files can be found on this site (sorry I don't remember where, I've read probably over a thousand posts to get this working. The Swpye files are from the free beta program.)

Here are links to the files I re-uploaded:

fileserve.com/file/U4e22cf/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk

fileserve.com/file/huM9wxb/Keyboardmanager.1.7.apk

fileserve.com/file/WqQQEMT/libSwypeCore.3.26.92.37604.so

fileserve.com/file/jFNXvbP/Swype-Installer 12-22-2011.apk

Hope this helps and saves you from all the time I put into getting this to work.

According to this link the front range in coloado was supposed to get 4g today...I live in lakewood and haven't ben able to get 4g at all....has anyone outside of downtown denver been able to get 4g?
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
I live in NY. And I don't get 4g everywhere because there are 4g sweet spots in the city. You could use the free app sensorly map viewer to check which areas around you have 4g.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
I'll do that but from the article I got the impression that 4g in colorado would be all across the front range and pretty much full coverage

You can start with the Sprint map.

It seems they are erring on the side of caution, as my house shows as just outside of 4g coverage (by a couple blocks). I get speeds inside my house that make my cable internet jealous. I'm particularly impressed since cell service in my house is so bad I need an airave.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Leukay:
Due to Swype in the 3.70 update being ridiculously ugly, I have created a few metamorphs of higher resolution skins for Swype, using the keyboard files from the Epic along with other devices. Enjoy!

If you want to use these skins on a rom that does not have swype installed, download any stock 3.70 rom, pull Swype.apk from system/app, and libswypecore.so from system/lib, and push them to the respective locations in your current rom. Note that you may not need to copy over libswypecore.so as long as you apply the skin immediately.

NOTE: Beta support has been discontinued, due to changes in Swype's anti-piracy measures.

Conditions:

1. Swype.apk must be in system/app

2. In order for the custom trace trail to take effect, you must be using the official Swype for the evo from the 3.70 update (version 2.7).

How to install:

1. Place SwypeHD.zip on sdcard

2. Launch the Metamorph application

3. Select Unzip/Extract new theme

4. Select SwypeHD.zip

5. After theme is applied, a Reboot is necessary

6. Enjoy a much better looking keyboard

If the theme doesn't apply, you may need to apply it multiple times

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Leukay:
No, I can't make a flashable version because Swype is still considered warez. For this, you need the application called metamorph which is in the market (for free). Its actually an awesome application. Instead of replacing the whole apk, which is what flashable zips do, Metamorph only replaces certain files inside of an apk, which is a process that actually has a lot of advantages

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Robbies7897:
I don't think it is. WP7 phones have a hardware checker or something like that, so it probably wouldn't even boot up without a lot of hacking. I could be wrong though!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ZaInT_:
AFAIK Windows 7 is only available for X86 and AMD64, so no Android phone would be able to run it even if it met the other requirements.

Step 1. Download the latest keyboard from here.

Step 1: You must rename you existing GB keyboard or remove it.

Step 2: Then use Root Explorer OR adb push to copy the file to /system/app

Step 3. Click on the gbkb.apk and install it

Step 4. Use Root Explorer and come back to /system/app and modify permissions of the apk file like this

[SIZE=4][COLOR=Blue]
Read Write Execute
User X X
Group X
Others X
[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Step 5: Reboot your NC and select the new keyboard in NCTools
