Yes, but everytime I reboot, it isn't selected anymore. I have to use the Swype Installer to select it again after each reboot. I don't know if it's just because I'm using the latest version, which at some point was the beta (not even sure if it's still beta or not) -- I could check all this on the Swype site, just thought another Ascend-ie might know.
thx,
EDIT: OK, that was a good suggestion I had (lol) -- the swype folks say this can be caused by having Swype installed on the SD card, because since the card mounts relatively late in the boot process, that causes a problem with loading Skype as part of the system. Makes sense to me. I moved my installation to the phone, and am rebooting. Here is the Swype forum thread.

what build are you on, if you on cm7 than that might be the case, cause i never could get swype to work with cm7.

CM6. Seems to work best for my wimpy lil' Ascend.
lolz, also i would suggest BK8, swiftkey x, or A I Type keyboard, BK8 is good for people with big fingers also.

I'm stuck on using Swype only because I don't know of any others with the tracing feature, and I really like that. So, this being the place to post stupid question... what are some others that have that?

T-9 Keyboard has a swipe-style option,I believe,along w/gesture,voice,& standard input options.
Might wanna check out KEYPURR.When this board first hit the market in Jan 2011,it had a 30 day free trial.
I'd shoot the developer an email & request a similar trial version before purchasing.

I've been using the Swype beta with CM7 and its much better than the Swype that came stock with the phone.

i found this keyboard earlier and it kicks butt, free to try on the market...slideit soft keyboard, it has plenty of themes and lots of settings you can tweak and so on. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dasur.slideit.vt.lite&feature=more_from_developer

Are these Apps, me got lost.yep cache cleaner Mate and history eraser.
Hmm...let me guess, getting the CM6 or 7 or something will require me to play with mods right? I'm using PlayfulMod, that means I'm going to have to replace it right?cause its not overclock like cm6, its clock to 600 mhz compared to 710 mhz in cm6.

I saw your thread and posted in it, and a mod posted that he was going to put them back, so I guess he must have deleted it after he restickied them.

Nuttmeg, I can't find any of those apps on the Market, I think the names are wrong or somewhere, something failed.

So im using the pattern lock in the default settings, and to me it looks crunched up. how can i get rid of the time, the date, the carrier, and the emergency call button?

You may be able to download a morph lock screen. Ive seen a couple. I dont know if it would make a difference tho. I used the pattern lock screen for one day. I found out Captain Morgan and the pattern lock screen dont mix. Ahaha Now I dont even lock my phone. Its in my pocket all the time anyways.

So you did do a factory reset?
If U did,'u do know that a factory reset completely wipes out you're data on your phone, not on your SD card

If you reset your phone, which is what it sounds like, seeing as there's almost no way out of that one, then all the data is gone, if it was stored to the SD card, it will be there, if not, its back to step one.
If you had Sync on, you should try to recover your old account and authenticate it via Google. Apps you purchased and Contacts will be restored, free ones you may have to find again.
As for other things, I'm not sure what else is there, besides music, vids, and pics that are on the SD card.

I've had my Ascend for half a year now and still haven't rooted it. I keep thinking I am going to mess up and brick it.
What are the pros and cons of rooting your phone? Is it hard?
