Well last update for swype just ended for me...

[Existence]

XDA people get a new one yet lol? This is the second time it has happen.

 

[rangergrrl]

Yep mine too. Only had it a couple weeks.

Use ultra keyboard. You won't miss Swype a bit.

 

[Caloy]

I actually use SwiftKey now, and most of the time it's faster than Swype since it will predict your next word, usually you just have to enter 1 or 2 letters and it will suggest the word you're trying to enter. Only drawback, I still miss Swype typing with only one hand.

 

[rangergrrl]

Yep Swype made a big mistake going OEM. Sorry I'm just not that into you now. Lol feels like breaking up with a needy boyfriend.

I hated swype at first but now i can't stand the regular keyboard. I need my swyping back with one finger only.

 

[rangergrrl]

Hmmm ultra keyboard slide it?

 

[Thefoodman52]

Ultra keyboard, definitely.

 

[novarider]

There is at least one version out that is still working. It will be really hard to find now tho since XDA no longer allows posting swype apks

 

[Gizmo15]

I feel like this is the end of an era

 

[thegame2388]

why?

 

[rangergrrl]

Ahhh well I have found the new apk...but boy does it LAG. After a few hrs with ultra and slideit...Im notsure I want it back.

Shapewriter is a nice alternative to Swype for now.

Swype is just too darn stupid at times. Swiftkey never could predict what I was going to say ... I guess I'm more interesting than most people lol

Must try this ultrakeyboard.

The only one that even comes close to SWYPE is SlideIT. The rest simply are not as refined.

I have to disagree. Slideit is missing some key features such as the long keypress for alternate key choice. Sure it's there on a different menu but that's awkward. It also randomly force closes on my evo. Ultra for me is much faster, and being able to create skins is nice.
