I am on Kingdom Stock 3.0 Sense RSL1.1 and I was dragging my finger across the keyboard and wala! It swyped....did HTC make It's own swype style keyboard? Or? I don't have swype anywhere on my phone. So did HTC include swype style input on their sense 3.0 keyboard or am I insane? Its pretty sweet...

yea it does work pretty well. I've always liked the idea of swype but hated the landscape keyboard. SlideIT has a good idea thats a slideable switch that toggles slide and abc.

I'm on RLS2 for Uber kingdom. I tried out trace but I dont think it works as well as swype. 1) When you trace a word then tap on another word (not the original suggestion), it will not automatically add a space when you start tracing the next word 2) there is no easy way to correct words once you've started tracing a new one (swype allowed you to double tap on any word to look up its suggestions) 3) The arrow keys on the stock keyboard make it a lot harder to type on.

I tried installing swype on uber kingdom (I'm using the swype installer that I have saved from titanium backup and downloading the latest swype) but I keep getting an error message saying that my version of swype is configured for another device. I can type on the the swype keyboard but I can't swype on it :( How did you guys get it to work?

I've tried RLS 2, 3, and 4... I don't see an HTC Trace option anywhere... am I missing it?

(I am in swype beta, so I'll probably stick with that, but I'd like to try Trace regardless)

I've gotten so used to Swype and all its quirks and know how to get it to do just about anything. I think I'll just stick with it.

Anyone else find that when you reboot your phone you have to un-select Swype and re-select it as input method or it won't recognize any words?
