EVO and Swype

[Kevin_G_Sanchez]

Swype is a great tool. I'm def going to install on my Evo. That'll be my second device on my account.

To each their own. I didn't like the leaked Swype before they opened the beta. It took up way too much memory, I think I got it up to 13mb.

Once they opened the beta I decided to give it another shot and well, now I can't imagine having to go back to the regular touch keyboard.

Swype is one app I never liked. I tried it on my old Moto Droid and gave it a chance, but yeah - no go. I found normal texting much more enjoyable.

Whew, I thought I was the only one out there. I am almost afraid to mention this for fear of "the Swype faithful" coming to my house and butchering my loved ones. Well, my cats... more so than *her*.

hmm i wonder why it would be pre installed on the mytouch 3g slide...but not on the evo. oh well.

So is there anyway for non beta account holders to get Swype?

It's all over the internet. Try a Google search.

I use shapeWriter and there is no way I'm going back to regular typing.

 

[Beezzy]

I wanna try that! That would be fun to get used to! I might have to DL that when I get my EVO! Man once a rooted EVO is found and HTC comes out with 2.2 Sense compatibility I'll jizz in my pants like the true nerd I am on the inside! hahaq

So i got the Swype beta from here. It's dated Dec.30 09....Is that the latest build?

 

[Yourdogsdead]

I still have no idea how to use it. Is it accurate? I watched the video and it seems that the software is predicting the word that you want to type.

I absolutely love swype! It is the best way to text!

Yea pretty much. I was using my friends HD2 the other day to test it out. Just saying random sentences. It's definately something i'd have to get used to. One thing i noticed was when i swyped, "What's up Danny", it didn't recognize the name to make the D capital. Small nuscense which im sure could be corrected or maybe i missed something? *shrug*

I was also wonderind how that compared to the private beta build.

Does anyone know if the .APK file that everyone is using after the Beta closed, will work on the EVO?

 

[techiegirl]

@Gmaxxxa: Yes it will.

You're supposed to swype above the keyboard before the "d" to put it into shift to get the upper case "D".

@Techiegirl, ty for the quick reply! I still have the file dled from when I tried to put it on my G/f's Devour, on her device it said "The screen resolution did not match bla bla bla". Glad to know this will work with my EVO!

I Don't think that one works any longer. Let us know if it works for you when you try it.

I found and downloaded the file 'Droid.Swype.Beta.5612.apk'

Is this the latest file and what I need to put on an SD card and install with an app manager?

(sorry, I'm sure this is basic info to most)

 

[techiegirl]

The file I have says "com.swype.android.inputmethod"

I found and downloaded the file 'Droid.Swype.Beta.5612.apk'
