Swype avail for Eris

[cableguynoe]

Ok I did that and now it is there but when I enable it all it does is blink blue at me and beep when I try to use it. I can press letters to get words but I can't swype.

Are you sure it's Swype? Even after you enable it, there is still another step.

Hold down the text box where you type. Then it will ask you for input method, select swype.

Did you ever get swype going on that Devour, I am still looking for it.

OK, just to confirm...
on your phone settings you have Swype selected as your keyboard?
Also, you pressed down on the text box and selected Swype as the input method?

And you cant Swype? Does the keyboard look different? or are you still on the stock keyboard?

Not yet. Havent gotten my hands on that Devour.
Did you try the link I posted on the Devour forum? I'm assuming that works. I'll let you know once I do it.

Try this.
Uninstall it and reinstall it again. Seems like you're almost there... something just went wrong.

I know 2 people with the Moto Droid that used that same link, so it works

 

[mills23]

Great!! that did it!!!

Was messing around with random apps today. Restarted the phone and it gave me an error saying swype will have limited capabilities. I love swype and cant go without it. I understand I can re-install it but I dont know how to un-install it first. Any help on how to fix this or un install it?


EDIT
nvm un-installed it. Sucks that i lost all my saved words. Anyone know why this error happened?

I am at my wit's end trying to get a working version of swype back on my phone (ERIS running 2.1)

I was getting the configuration error on my installed beta, so I uninstalled and redownloaded the installer as directed. I was getting "phone id does not match that provided during beta error however".

They reset my ID but when I downloaded and reinstalled I just started getting the configuration error again. Now I am back to the bad ID error.

What's a brother got to do to get a working beta APK on his Eris?

[cableguynoe]

Great!! that did it!!!

I'm glad you got it!

quick question. When I dl'd the link for swype beta and installed it. It says that it won't work on my screen size. How do I unistall?

 

[Caddyman]

uninstall by going to settings>apps>mange apps> find it and click uninstall.

or use something like astro file manger, makes it a bit easier.

So is there a good working version of swype I can do on my eris 1.5 without a computer?

Yes, you've come to the right place. I have 1.5 and got it here:

Scan it with Barcode Scanner.

 

[NickDroid86]

How do I scan it if I only have my droid and no computer access? Scan my phones screen with my phone? Lol

Here is the link I used a while back to download it to my phone. I am running 1.5.


Swype v1.25.16.5612 for dorid - Android Download Center

 

[NickDroid86]

Ok what do I have to do after installing that last link? I don't understand the other instructions

 

[NickDroid86]

Ok I figured it out but its giving me error messages everytime I delete the app ad start over again

 

[cableguynoe]

If i remember correctly, you need Astro file manager. Download that, then go to the very first post on this thread and start from #3.

 

[NickDroid86]

I actually figured it out I live this thing gunna practice for a while lol

There's a new themed keyboard based on the latest Lite version. It's amazing.

droidkevlar: would you mind editing your original post to pop this info to the front?

[qr]Swype-Lite.1.16.12.5228.219.apk[/qr]

or: Swype-Lite.1.16.12.5228.219.apk

Below is sh0ebox's original post. Great work!

Hey guys

I recently compiled a MM theme for swype that skins it to look like the HTC_IME keyboard for the Droid (droid-life posted a blog about it a couple days ago).

Now, I am a Droid owner, but my girlfriend has an Eris and was complaining that she didn't like the appearance of swype and wished it looked like her default (HTC_IME) keyboard. So, since I had already made the theme for Droids, I thought I would convert it over for her. Since she isn't rooted, I compiled it into the swype APK for the Eris and loaded it on her phone tonight, and it works like a charm. Since I went through all the work of compiling the theme and the apk for her, I thought I'd share it with the rest of the Eris community. Hope you guys enjoy it

Screenshots (from the original thread):

Download: Swype-Lite.1.16.12.5228.219.apk


Instructions:

1. Download the APK and put it on your SD Card
2. If you already have Swype installed on your phone, uninstall it
3. Install this APK
4. Swype to your heart's content!
