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

Similar posts has been seen vaguely in a couple of places, but they are all convoluted and should be deleted in light of this one. This is a hyper-confirmed version I have worked to get tested.



1. Go to settings, and select Applications.

I urge everyone to try this. It might look intimidating or complicated, but once you learn how to use it, you probably won't look back.
Swype, for those who don't know, is pretty much the best darn thing to happen to keyboards since T9 (In fact the man who created it co-founded T9). The world record touch-screen keyboard text was sent using it (link below). It's a keyboard that's uber-fast and allows you to quickly and efficiently dish out texts or email or whatever..

do you keep getting popup messages that the keyboard is the wrong size?

I have a different apk that makes swype keep doing that.

Just move it to you sd card select it with a file manager like Astro and it will prompt you to install as long as you have your phone set up to install from Unknown Services located in the settings - Applications. Works perfect

I dont get why yall wont just use shapewriter... its the same exact thing but better to me

Re: Working Confirmed Swype
 

Just for that reason it's better for you....coming from WINMO we have gotten use to Swype and would prefer to keep things as similar as possible moving to a new OS

Re: Working Confirmed Swype
 

Thanks

Re: Working Confirmed Swype
 

I also came from winmo world. You should really try it...In my opinion it is way better than swype!

Re: Working Confirmed Swype

Re: Working Confirmed Swype
 

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