I've been doing a lot of digging, tried slideIT, tried to get ahold of a WORKING swype beta, all of these with no success.
Anyone know of one I haven't seen? Or have any information on when the beta may re-open?
...
What kind of phone do you have? I have the licensed version for the HTC hero HVGA (different versions are available dependent on screen resolution). I got mine through XDA developers forum if that helps (it came built into a ROM).
...
I've got the HTC Hero liscensed through Sprint as well, bought it about a month ago.
After seeing the Samsung Epic at a device fair I decided I really needed to get swype.
How exactly do the ROM's work? I'm trying to avoid getting into any rooting or anything that may void the warrenty.
...
Installing and using Swype doesn't require any rooting. I have the APK on my SDcard. All you have to to under your settings is change allow non market apps. Then install the APK using Linda file explorer (or something similar).
Also if you download from the market tattachAPK (try a search for tattach to find it) this will allow you to receive an APK from someone's Gmail account and install it to the phone. Once installed you're good to go.
None of this requires root (superuser) access.
...
After you follow those instructions send me a PM.
...
Okay! Thank you. I'll have to do this once I get home, I just clocked in to work.. ha :/
...
PM'd you as requested Sir! ..or Ma'am!..
...
I'ts sir and check your email đ
...
my gmail is different than the address I used to signup for my PS account.
I'll PM you the correct one, sir.
Thanks again!
...
No problem - just need the Gmail in a PM
...
Alrighty then. And now, I wait.
...
Booo I haven't received it yet. Maybe it's just not coming into my inbox automatically.. I'll log into the actual gmail website and maybe check my junk mail on my breakk.
...
Maybe refresh your gmail? You need to receive it on the phone to install it.
...
I've been refreshing it forr like 10 minutes âšī¸ haha
...
I resent it (sometimes takes a moment).
...
I checked again, nothing there :/
I also checked the hotmail account I had listed for my PS account, and there was nothing there either.
So I'm not sure what exactly is going on!
...
You sent the right gmail?
...
I believe soo. I'll send it again.. and type it twice! haha.
gahh sorry for the troubles.
...
DUUUDE. you have NO IDEA how great you just made my day.
THANK YOU!!
...
I take it you got it? lol
...
Yes! as soon as it popped up into my inbox I was like *CLOCK BREAK!!!11 hahah.
Now I don't even want to do overtime today... I just wan't to text and email all day! hahah
...
Yeeeayuh. Thanks again man, I've seriously been trying to find a working version of that APK for like.. 2 weeks now.
...
No problem, I was lucky enough to get it in a ROM lol
...
