Swype avail for Eris

[bukubabies]

I use swype now too. It took a little getting used to, but it definitely grows on you. Is it me, or are the keys on the swype screen a little bigger than the standard eris keyboard? I prefer the swype keyboard. Glad I switched.

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

sh0ebox's Swype works on 1.5. I just replaced beta Swype with this.

Hey sh0ebox, just to let you know, the link you posted for the Swype that looks like the HTC_IME keyboard isn't working anymore.

 

[_RR_]

Yup, that link is defunct. Could we get another?

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

Link replaced with this mirror:
Swype-Lite.HTC.apk

So I have Android 2.1 installed on my Eris and when I download from the link above I get this error message:

For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in Android Market.


Any suggestions?



EDIT:

Nevermind... Figured it out.

i'm still trying to get this to work with my Eris on 2.1v3. I am unable to select swype as the input method thus far. still working at it...

 

[jreed2560]

you have to go into settings>languages and keyboard>put a check in the swype box. then long press in the text field and change your input method to swype

 

[flip603]

this working with the official 2.1?

 

[xx_bishop_xx]

[enkode]

This is my favorite build.. I'm running 2.1v3 and this has worked the best for me out of every build to date..

Help! I've downloaded this swype, but now it's telling me my trial period is over! i LOVE this theme version to look like the normal keyboard, and i see nowhere to upgrade. Any thoughts??

It looks like EVERY 1.16 version of Swype has expired.

Until a new version is released (even for purchase), we need to find a way around this.

Can anyone tear this program up?

This is lame. Swype doesn't have an official solution for us. Does anyone have the Beta .apk around?

 

[jayochs]

oh wow, that's absolutley terrible. seriously. i would pay for this app, as i love how it works. uggggggggggh. oh well, thanks for the info

 

[bjf88]

That is really crazy... I have v 1.16.12.5230.t and thankfully it's still working. Are these timebomed or is it just the links that are expired?

 

[jayochs]

timebombed. i try to type and it doesnt let me, comes up with a box saying my trial period has ending, please upgrade.

 

[bjf88]

Well... I still have the apk on my sd card, but I'm still a noob as far as apk's go. Could I possibly be able to file share the version I have that is still working? *crosses fingers*

 

[lennyjew]

I'm getting the your trial beta has run out, please upgrade message for about 5 different versions of swype. Nothing seems to be working.

 

[jayochs]

i just tried the exact version from the barcode of the apps thread.....and it's a no-go as well. BJF, could you copy that file? give that a shot, maybe it'll work for us?

 

[lennyjew]

Well... I still have the apk on my sd card, but I'm still a noob as far as apk's go. Could I possibly be able to file share the version I have that is still working? *crosses fingers*

download a free app called system panel. open ->menu->installer->click on swype on the program list->archive

mount your sd card to the computer and is should be in a folder called apparchive

 

[bjf88]

EDIT!!! Make sure you delete the other version of Swype off your phone before you re-load this one.

Never done this before, but always wanted to try QR code sharing... link below if you don't want to scan.

Swype-Lite.1.16.12.5228.219.apk

Hope that works!
