I highly recommend the Swype Popup and Landscape fix for 480x800 resolution, get the other file for smaller displays

Doesnt work on Hero with 2.1 ROM. I choose the swype input method, but then no keyboard pops up? Using the apparent fix...
Do i need to install the fix on top of the trial release or what?!

I've had Swype for a while now on my Moto Droid (2.0.1), and never had any issues with popup or landscape, and to my knowledge, nothing needed to be fixed. What does this "fix," and do i need it?

i've seen some odd things happen on my droid, 2.0.1. the landscape mode had a lot of jaggies in the text, and sometimes in portrait mode, in certain apps, the letters would be distorted/out of place, and you would have to exit/restart the program and then it would work. i'm hoping that this is what this fixes...

The keyboard from the extracted version of swype looks different than this one. Maybe this is a new one?

Alright, if you don't use the nexus one try the version without the fix. Not sure if the fix was just an nexus one one. or wait, it is an 480 x 800 fix. On the nexus one it is not working in landscape mode because it gives an pixel error, plus there is always a popup when going to landscape anywhere in the phone. the fix fixed this and you can type in landscape mode with still buggy placed keys. Hope this helps.

Neither links above work on the HTC Hero running 2.1, just so you know.

Po up and landscape work fine on the release i posted earlier.??? what is this supposed to fix ??

Hero doesn't have 480x800 display?.

Does the Trial Release (without fix) work in landscape mode AT ALL?
The "fix" only fixes the landscape mode and yeah it's still buggy and misplaced but still works

i've been using swype-swypereference-wvga854-trial-release.0.35.3959 which was the original leak some 2 months ago, and it works fine, 97% of the time, on a stock 2.0.1 droid, in landscape or portrait.

i'm going to uninstall that and install the "fix" one to see if anything changes.

i know there was another version released that supports the 480x320 devices, never tried that on a droid tho.

/edit
ok the fix version is pointless for the droid. it is the same in portrait, but in landscape the keyboard is smaller, but you can still see the large one behind it. so it looks like this one is just shrunk the 54 pixels for the nexus.

I just saw a video on this, looks awesome!

Installing on an Droid Eris, let you know how it works.

Thanx for the up!

/edit

this release does not work with the droid eris.
I did find a release that does and im using it right now and it is very responsive and accurate. if anyone wants it just lemme know.

The trial release should actually work for you
