you could try "slide it" by dasur, it is essentially the same idea but it is very clunky and inaccurate compared to a properly trained swype algorithm.

ShapeWriter is OK... Not quite as good as swype, accuracy is very similar. Really the only negative is the location of the buttons (like . , @ etc.) is slightly annoying. I was using it while I couldn't get Swype back (coz of the ROM), and I found it quite a satisfying replacement.

Any news about Swype language packs? Personally I'm interested in adding the Romanian dictionary, i've seen that it's available in the Swype version that comes with the Samsung i9000..

HI! where can i find one with only english and french for my legend?
Does anyone know if there are any worthwhile changes/updates/fixes in the 1.60 version comapred to 1.56? cos I have the 1.56 HTC_IME one and the way it's themed looks much nicer than the standard swype colours

Sorry for being such a n00b about this, but I downloaded that rar file that basjebas posted a link to from megaupload and I don't know how to install it to my Legend. I opened the rar and there is a single file inside called "Swype_1.60.36.8214_HVGA.apk" and I of course do not know what an APK file type is. What is it and how do I install it?

Any help for this noobish question?

Use a file explorer (on phone) to click on the APK file package, and then it'll bring up the install dialog(s).

Or you can use HTC Sync.

Hey,
Just an FYI for anyone. I just got this installed on my Legend. I love it except for the amount of space it took up on my phone (around 18mb ish)..
So i was curious, I uninstalled swype, went in with ASTRO.. clicked on the swype apk file on my sd card, but I browsed the file this time, rather than installing it. Then went to Assets, Files, and from here you can just manually delete the language packs you dont want/ need.
After said and done, went back with ASTRO and installed it from the sd card, and took a look at the new current file size. I saved about 10mb of my internal =)

Figured I'd just pass on the info, maybe someone will find it useful.
