Droid X Keyboard now available for ALL PHONES!

Sorry to change the topic for a min. I was wondering if anyone knows how and could tell me how to get either Shapewriter and/or Swype, One is off the android market and the other is no longer in beta. I'm sure someone here knows a trick or 2 on how to get these to download and work on my evo :) Thanks in advance for your help.
 
I downloaded it, unzipped the file, ran appInstaller, found Multi-Touch Keyboard, clicked install...it says "Application not installed"...thoughts?
 
If you want the arrows in swype... open up a text field for typing, and swype from the swype button in the bottom left corner of the screen to the button directly next to in on the right (ABC and Symbol button). That will open up the input menu with arrows.

Thats funny. People have been complaining for weeks about this and all we had to do is a little swype.:rolleyes:
 
i guess if you dont like swype or cant get used to it, this is nice..but Swype is still the best keyboard solution, hands down...

To each his own they say. i like shapewriter better than anything i've used. haven't tried this Droid X one yet, but ii'm so proficient with Shapewriter i have no urge to try it.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but what makes a key-board multi-touch?

Edit: Read the site and figured out the multi-touch thing, still sticking with shapewriter.
 
I modified the q-ime version and made the keys a darker grey when pressed rather than red. Here is the signed apk for those interested. I made no functional changes, so it's exactly the same except the red has been changed to grey.

Enjoy

ok i downloaded the megaupload link and download the appInstaller when i click on the thing in appinstaller it says Parse error there is an error parsing the package?????????? help!
 
anyway to make it vibrate when you touch a letter? I have it tunred on and the sound turned on. But it won't vibrate. It vibrated for the stock keyboard. I really would like this on the x keyboard.

Also installed the swype with astro but when i click open it says...activity not found. Got it from the link above.
 
I like the KB but it was missing things like the arrow keys. If I needed to edit something in a text I could hardly ever get the cursor in the right spot the first few tries. It got frustrating so I took it off and Im running the stock kb for now.
