Official Swype beta installed just fine on my one s stock, unrooted.

Ps, we don't have Swype pre installed, that is an HTC keyboard with Swype features.

I never got a message, but have now installed the official beta as well.

About 5 minutes after installing, I got a random reboot on my phone which I have hardly ever had. Hope it is not related....
 
Downloaded this a few days ago, working great except one problem...
Sometimes when I press the space button it close the keyboard and goes to the home screen (yes I'm sure I wasn't accidentally pressing home button :p ). Mainly noticed in stock messaging app, and I always get the toast notification "Swype will automatically insert a space for you".
Anyone else?

I have both the older swype and the one that was offered lately running on the One S.

What i find interesting is that the new Swype seems to be very different. The layout has changed, functions have been reordered, its faster, doesn't have its terrible lag anymore. Also now its offered under the company name of "Nuance" which i never saw before. It's a bit like a new keyboard.
Also, i am not sure it is as good as it used to be. I have ambivalent feelings for it at the moment.

But to answer to the main question of the thread: both versions run perfectly well on the One S and i had never had a reboot. I am on LeeDroid. I have had it on a rooted stock ROM (1.78 base) before.

Yes I agree. The latest was significant. It improves a lot of stuff.

I just want to be able to skin it again....:-(

Sent from my HTC One-S (rooted), stock ROM

You can still skin it...sort of;). The problem is that unless you know their private key, you can't sign it properly. If you resign it, it will still install and function as a normal keyboard, minus the actual Swype feature. Sucks too because I've skinned it to match the stock keyboard beautifully. Oh well.
