Swype 3.26 - any luck installing it?

[Paul627g]

does anyone know how to remove some of the keys on the keyboard on swype? i never use the little hand gesture with the blue trail on the bottom left hand corner, its annoying, nor do i use the SPEAK icon.

Not sure, is this even possible?

Those that have 3.26, what are the differences, any better or visible? Would like to know before I consider going into the system and messing with it, possibly mucking it up.

Now for ICS . . different story!!!

Not for nothing but this is the kind of stuff I don't like about Android..

Blame Swype Inc, not Android.

You have to do the mod to your build.prop to get 3.26
[INFO]
1. Uninstall your current Swype (just the keyboard, leave the installer)
2. Make a backup copy on your sdcard of /system/build.prop (Use ES File Explorer/Root Explorer, etc.. Something that has root access and write access to root level)
3. Go in and open your current build.prop on the device in /system/ and modify the following line.

Change the line:
ro.product.model=Nexus S 4G

To read:
ro.product.model=Nexus S

Save, reboot and run the installer.. You will then have 3.26 when completed. Afterwards go back in and either change your current build.prop back to saying Nexus S 4G or delete out the current and replace with your backup copy.[/INFO]

Thank you to jp22382 for figuring this one out. Post #11

Now its time to start theming the keyboard

Looks like they changed the image files around.

downloaded and installed on sgs2 without any problem.

Cool.. This was probably an oversight in the 3.26 beta missing out on the NS4G.

I'm sure there were some terms in the deal with Sprint over the special version that prevented it OR they are creating a new themed version for us that will come out soon. I doubt it was an oversight as the NS4G had 3.25 before anyone else and is still the only Themeable version available, albeit closed themes.

Well that wasn't too difficult.

I don't want to root yet so I guess I'll just have to wait for Swype to release a S4G version. Sure would like to get rid of that installer though....
