Starting out simple, ended up horribly complex.

You need to give it more time to learn. I had the same problem at first but it is nearly flawless now.

I have been giving this a try (I always loved Swype) but I just found that it lacks some basic options. I still use it all the time but I would still like to see the “I” being auto-capitalized when I type ” i [space]“

I’ve tried many Swype-like keyboards, including the latest SwiftKey beta. I always end up returning to Swype because these other experiments are so awkward and lacking in features. I don’t think I’ll ever switch to SwiftKey on a permanent basis mainly because there is no [Shift] key on the right side on the tablet layout. What’s the problem with that? It’s not because there’s no space. It’s too awkward for me to always use the left side to shift when the letter I’m trying to type is on the left side as well.

the predictions are still horrible. Installed and uninstalled in less than 2 minutes after attempting to “flow” through one sentence. Swiftkey 3 is much better; this flow thing isn’t working out for you guys.

I gave it a try with the last beta, but went back to Swype. Maybe I’ll give it another try.

Nice catch… Little too hasty to get out the release, I guess

Looks like someone made an App out of it.
However you could always grab the pure “Google” version, which is probably better, from any AOSP 4.2 Rom download. Then sideload the files or add them to a flashable zip.

Just grab these two files and place in the same corresponding locations with your file explorer of choice…

systemappLatinImeGoogle.apk
systemliblibjni_latinimegoogle.so

(sorry, above is not a link! Chrome likes the extension)

Just out of curiosity – if you don’t use any swiping action – how is it different from the original? I used to be on Swype before SKF came out, and made the switch then. I thought Swiftkey was alright, but I don’t like the hunt and peak style of typing that most interfaces rely on. To me, it just feels painful most of the time typing on screens with two hands.

The problem with Swype is that it will be perpetually stuck in beta hell. Development completely stopped. I’ve not noticed a huge difference with SKF to be honest, but then I’m not chaining giant emails together or anything like that on my device.

Sadly, I’m not a fan of the stock keyboard at all since I’ve been used to Swype since my first Android device. The stock keyboard falls big time in not being friendly for single hand use in my opinion. In fact, that’s my issue with a lot of keyboards. I even tried going to keymonk, but hated its prediction engine.

At least Swiftkey is still in development though – that’s one great thing to see.

Though the link says – SwiftKey Flow Beta 4.0.0.76 for smartphones (APK, 6.9 MB)
But in actual the downloaded file says – SwiftKey_Flow_Public_Beta-4.0.0.75 and is of 6.7 MB
Not to worry as the installed version is the 4.0.0.76 . So i guess its a typo in the filename
