Guest cezent Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) can anyone tell me where I can download it? its not on Market isnt it? update: found it after google search "Swype Beta Nexus One" Edited January 9, 2010 by cezent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markdotpeters5 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 It's great, but definitely needs an update to work in landscape on the N1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cezent Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 It's great, but definitely needs an update to work in landscape on the N1. Try Shapewriter, its almost as good as Swype. I find it get words wrong very often but it is at least stable in N1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Iggy82 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Couldnt find this in market no matter how many different terms I searched! Managed to download it from this site in the end and install with 'Apps installer' (which you can download from market!). Just for some clarification to newbies: 1) Download swype from link above or other source 2) Unzip the .apk file to your phones SD card (connect phone to PC and mount the SD card) 3) Download 'App Installer' or similar installer from Android Market, and install 4) Launch App Installer or similar and select the swype .apk file to install 5) Go to Settings > Language & Keyboard and select 'Swype' checkbox to enable (green tick) 6) Go to enter some text, for example in a text message. Hold down in the text box until little box pops up saying 'Input Method', select Swype Note: this is Motorola Droid/Milestone and Nexus One only due to high screen res. of these devices. There is also a bug in the Nexus One version which causes it to come up with a screen resolution error, ignore this and it'll work fine in portrait mode, but NOT landscape!

Guest huey-t Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 SlideIT for Android will be available soon see this video: SlideIT site Looks good. The overall presentation / skin of the keyboard looks a lot more presentable.. In terms of functionality, not sure how the two will differ. Can't wait to try both of them out - Swype & SlideIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kwandds Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 Swype does not plan on releasing it to the market anytime soon. They're working directly with manufacturers. And that annoying error screen everytime I change the position of the phone is enough to make me not want to use it. Compared to Swype, Shapewriter isn't as forgiving. It also doesn't have underscore, which is a deal breaker, since some of my logins have that character. Hopefully SlideIT is as good as Swype. I read somewhere there's a keyboard coming up that enlarges the keys that are used the most. Anyone heard of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest necosino Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 omg this is awesome! This is one of the reasons I was thinking about holding off on the N1 when it comes to Verizon, but if swype is working on it, then that is just fabulous! lol :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jonnyw2k Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I'm not sure where the community stands on this one at the moment: http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000-verizo...rogram-instead/ Its in all the WinMo device sections just hasnt migrated over to the android section yet.

Guest awarner (MVP) Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Any posts linking or hosting Swype will be removed. Unfortunately as yet this is not a commercial app and the author has requested it's removal. At least with signs of the beta the situation may be changing. Fingers crossed for all platforms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eabin Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 FWIW: if you unzip the apk, and copy SwypeRef_LS_Standard_wBlue_WVGA854.png to SwypeRef_LS_Standard_wBlue_WVGA.png (under assets/keyboards), then re-zip and sign it, it at least stops complaining when you rotate to landscape. it is however quite unusable due to the lack of multitouch (and because of the wrong png). when you type fast, it will sometimes detect two touches as a swype and all hell breaks loose.
