Swype for ally?

[ABL]

Tried to put a beta version of swype on and i received an error about screen size.

Has anyone seen a version that fits the Ally?

I don't think you'll see swype on any LG phones. It first appeared on the Samsung Omnia II and is now available for some Motorola phones. It's designed to work with phones using Windows OS. There are similar programs such as SlideIt and ShapeWriter. It would be kinda like putting a Samsung feature on a LG phone, but the people at swype are working to make it available across other platforms. By the way, I understand your interest in swype as just a few months ago the world record for texting was set using a Sumsung Omnia II with swype and Windows 6.5.

My brother has a htc incredible with swype on it

One other note ABL, the Omnia II has the larger 3.7 display. Might be the reason you got that error message.

The HTC incredible comes with skype.

Isn't skype like internet calling

Yes trav, it is. It allows voice calls over the internet. Calls to other Skype users are free and calls to a cell phone or landline are charged a fee. The charges are taken out of your Skype account kind of like a debit card. They have added features that has made it more popular like instant messaging, file transfer, and even video confrencing.

I know that... I was reffering to the fact that we're talking about sWype, not sKype...

If you could have Swype on your Ally, would you want it?

[travisl_2727]

Heck yeah I would... there is always times when you only have one hand to text with and swype is amazing for that... I tried it on my brothers incredible and it worked extremly well

Version 1.56.30.7625 works 100% on it, handles the screen size, and switching from landscape to portrait. Found it over at xda in the swype thread, post 234 file works.
