How to push swype to mytouch slide...

---

was looking for any help on how to get swype to work on the phone... what version of the software does work and exactly how did you get it to work. Any help would be appreciated, as this program is the dealbreaker on a rom, to me. Tried SlideIT and I don't like it much. Thank you for your help, folks.

I've been using shapewriter instead, its not as nice looking as swype but better than slideit.

you could always sign up for the beta for swype, then just install it and be happy... that sounds like a good idea to me :P

The beta is closed for new sign ups.

Have you tried to install it in /system/apps?

You might have to go into recovery to mount /system then while in recovery try and adb install

Dont know if it will work, but that is what I would try.


Good luck

I have found a few hvga Swypes on here that work with most roms and you install it regular-no need for adb.Just search for hvga Swype 1.56(latest version,i think) and you good to go.
Works on most roms but not all,im currently on htcclay's MR1V4 Remix and it doesnt work.Worked on Slideteam,CM and few more,current MR1V4 has Swype included.
