Hmm, all he will see is:
ERROR: This screen size is not supported...

Asked swype about this on march 9th, still no answer. You can read my question here.

The reason is, that the true resolution of the HTC One S seems to be 540x888 px. This size is not supported at the moment.

Tried the installer again - it doesn't work.

So I'm gonna try to copy or push the apk from my desire tomorrow or sth like that. Let's see what happens.

Copied swype apk and installed it, works like a charm now.

It does, but it is fizzy wine to swype's vintage champagne!

So people trying to install swype from scratch should copy the apk and install or use one from a backup (if there is one) instead of the installer.

Nice :D

edit: swype and swype installer apk added
I don't know if you still need that beta account for installation (using the installer you have to).

I just went to settings, keyboard, htc intput, then their is a swype option

Its not the same thing.

So I think I know why swype doesn't want to work on this phone. When you open the installer to the point where you log in, if you look down at the bottom of the screen, you see the menu button just above the capacitative buttons. I think this is probably making swype think that we only have 888 pixels instead of the 960.

I downloaded the Swype APK (not the installer) attached in one of the above posts and it installed and now works without any issues.

This, or because of this.

Thanks Rootrider.

I was getting a bit annoyed with the HTC Sense "Swype" keyboard. Especially, when it changed or disallowed swyping depending on the app.

I installed a Tibackup of Swype from my old Nexus One, and it works like a champ.

I had the screen size issue, then the APK posted above resolved it.

Today swype told me there's an update and went through the installer process again. Now it is successfully downloading. This is past the earlier portion where I would get the screen size not supported issue.

It installed fine.
