LG Ally - SW V 8 - Rooted - Velocity 0.3
Ok I found shapwriter for anyone interested:
http://vivin.net/2010/06/22/download-shapewriter-apk/
I think swype will still be better though cause I don't like how shapewriter takes up the whole screen and swype has a billion more settings.
I still can't get swype to work.![]()
Any new pointers on getting Swype?
I want it so bad haha shapewriter just doesn't do much for me.... I hope swype is better.
Sorry shapewriter is good but Swype has so many more settings to play with. :-)
I have already put a download link for swype with a pic of it working just load it onto the sd card not in any folder dont unzip it until on your phone use astro manager then install it
Ok trying again..... These are the steps I followed:
1. Downlad.
2. Plug in and mount
3. Open removable disk(F for me)
4. Drag .apk file here, not in a folder.
5. Unmount
6. Open Astro file manager
7. Click on Swype and click open app manager
8. Click install
-----
9. Go to settings---> Language and keyboard---> check Swype
10. Go into a new text field(text message, etc.)
11. Click and hold in text box, a menu will pop up---> Click input method
12. Write or start the tutorial.
---------------------
Sadly, I did all this but it still doesn't work.... I swype then a blue border pops up around it and goes away then nothing happens. :-(
Also, your pictures doesn't show that it works.... cause I could take those pics too but when I swype nothing happens. Works if I type but not swype. :-( Maybe take a video of what you did exactly if possible. I'm pretty sure I followed the steps correctly but maybe I missed something. Thanks for trying to help me out so much! :-D
I am having the same issue, it says trial period over, and when I try using Swype, it doesnt work. It will only work if I type I push the keys, any suggestions? I followed installation instructions to the T, need help.
Search out the APK for shapewriter. Works perfect on my Ally and no trial period.
