Swype Port Here! Most Preferred EVO KB *with expiration fix*

[i360]

Swype works better for me on the Evo then the TP2, it's smoother and works quicker.

Then select it:
Setting>Keyboard>check swipe. and then hold finger in textbox >Input method>Swype

I understand everything but the "hold finger in the textbox" part.
I do not see a textbox or do not understand what it is.
I am a WIMO so please forgive my ignorance.

The textbox may be for example when you are sending a text (or searching, or URL input in your browser, etc...), press and hold on to the input area and a box will pop up, then select your input method which would be Swype.

hope that helps

When I go Language and Keyboard, I have choice of select locale, swype settings, swype, and touch input. Swype has a checkmark in a grey box. When i press and hold the swype box with the checkmark it says something about the input method may be able to collect all the text you type. I hit ok and then go to messaging and try the keyboard is the one i had before i selected swype. I see no option for changing the keyboard. I must be missing something.

You're almost there.

When you go into messaging, tap and hold in the message box, and a menu will pop up. Select "input method" and you can now pick any of the keyboards that you have installed. Once you pick Swype, it stays default (even rebooting the phone) until you select a different one.

I can't download anything from any site other than the app market. I set it to install 3rd party apps, but it tells me I can't download it b/c it is not intended for my phone.

This sucks...lol

If you download a file explorer from the marketplace, this apk is actually already on the sd card
