The SwiftKey Flow beta is open now. The blog with downloads for phone and tablet can be found here, and the video overview is here.

I don't think so. The tablet version has a split keypad so you can use both thumbs but you don't really need that on a phone.

Used it to type this post. It's working well so far.
Thanks for the thread, keyboard is awesome.

I guess that's why it's a beta.
There is a lot of good information about SwiftKey Flow on their VIP site, and you can provide feedback as well, but you need to register to use it.

Got it.. thanks for the help
be sure to swipe down to the space key after every word. I was doing this mistake and thinking hey this keyboard is crap
Love the theming options in this keyboard!
Amazing keyboard. Thought the android 4.2 keyboard was the best, then they just released this. I don't think it's really a "flow through space" kind of thing, but more like a fly through time being that you saved so much time instead of going letter for letter. Made the same mistake about not swiping down to the space bar also.
Another update
The Swiftkey Flow beta has been updated again and the current version expires on January 30 so now would be a good time to update if you plan to continue using it.
ramjet73
Just got news that my SwiftKey Flow beta expired today. Tried going to vip.swiftkey.net but no luck. Webpage loaded but nothing shows. Said fuggit and downloaded the Swype Beta. IMO, completely sucks compared to SKF.

Did you try downloading the SwiftKey_Flow_Public_Beta-4.0.0.61.apk version from the link in the post right above yours?

Yessir. Got it the day AP said there was an update for it. Had it for a few days, then got the notice today.

Just installed 4.0.0.61 on a clean flash of PacMan and it's working fine. In "About SwiftKey Flow" it says "This is a time limited version which expires on Jan 30, 2013".
You might want to try uninstalling and re-installing the new apk.
Edit: Also, to access the VIP section you need to create an account and login. It will look empty until you do that.

I just re-installed over it and ir seems to be working fine now. Im pretty sure itll happen to you later on too. Unless you signed up for the VIP. How do I sign up if the page is empty?

One question, the registration question: "what is the name of our keyboard app?" I typed SwiftKey, SwiftKey Flow, swiftkey, etc. No go. WTH?

Hey everyone! I got my wife the shift 4g today and she fell in love with swype on my Epic so I got her into the beta, downloaded the installer and did all that jazz. Then I went ahead and made sure to enable it but here is where I got confused:
There was no other keyboard to disable. I shrugged it off and gave her her phone back but then she started getting frustrated. She said it wasn't letting her swype and that her keyboard didn't look like mine. I checked it out and it was the same stock HTC keyboard. I tried searching around but I can't find out how to disable the stock sense keyboard...perhaps there is a setting I'm missing but if not can someone help me with a way to get it to work? Thank you!
Im not sure I completely follow but I can try to help...
Anyways
Just go to settings > Language and keyboards > Check the Swype check box and accept the warning
In your text box wherever you are using the stock keyboard long press and tap "Input Method" and select swype.
// PS You dont need to disable anything through out the process, you can have multiple active keyboards and just leave Swype selected as the Input Method, maybe your issue is the beta version you were using? Not completely sure.

Wow thank you. I have no idea what was going wrong. After I installed it and selected it there was no warning that should have been my first indication that something was wrong. Anywho I rebooted her phone, re-enabled it in settings and finally was able to get long pressing a text input field to give me the input method box. Very weird.
Ultra keyboard can swipe too. Slide it. There are alternatives.
If you get swype, give sms to swype a try. It reads all your texts and adds words to the dictionary that aren't already in there (for swype).

The evo started out swypeless and later received it in an update.

I for the life of me have not been able to get Zinio to work for me either. Press reader works fine. But I really want the magazine app since moving from stock. Would also like to know how you guys got it working.
EDIT: I think it depends on what versions you're using. I finally got it to work. Instead of installing "ReadingHub", I installed "ReadersHub" with the zinio from the link you posted. And it's working finally. Check it out. Tell me if it works for you or not.

It says "Warning: Network connection is unstable, do you want to retry or use the application in off-line mode?"
The network connection is fine.
- Retry just results in the above message again.

I was having that same issue. Only other suggestion I have is to install both versions of readers hub and zinio. They shouldn't overwrite each other. Then try launching zinio from Readers Hub. Not Reading Hub. See if that works.

Paul,
I just installed the new version from G2x. In the G2x thread they have also extracted a settings APK which also needs to be installed. It is contained in the second page of their thread.
I installed both APKs and it finally worked perfectly. I am using the latest nightly of CM7, and having a magazine reader makes it a perfect tablet

they're different in the fact that they are currently updated very slowly... getjar just made it available to have developers push their updates... before, you had to know there was an update and redownload the app... i got my first push yesterday, so i see it's working
getjar makes money by sponsors... you'll see them throughout the site
Same problem as other, when i search/enter the code for the app (in my case it's Tweetcaster Pro, Tapatalk and Splashtop Remote Desktop) i get the "no compatible version for my device" text which is ridiculous because i have a Captivate and the Android Market shows those apps just fine. Any ideas? Can someone post the .apk i mean if they are free its not illegal right? And also if i get the .apk, will it update automatically when with the new push system from GetJar?

Thanks, it only worked for Splashtop, TweetCaster Pro and Tapatalk keep saying the device is not compatible i mean wtf!?!? I tried with GS II and Galaxy Nexus and both say not compatible. Anyone that has already downloaded Tapatalk from the GetJar app can tell me the device they are using and the name code so i can modify the Build.prop and download the app.
ro.product.model=GT-i9100
ro.product.brand=samsung
it has worked with everything in getjar... i have a crash here and there but they all have downloaded...
if you've changed this... reboot... it took awhile for google's android market to see the change... i probably restarted 3 times... even went into webos once and back to cm7...
the only thing i've had a problem with working at all (it did download) is Advanced Task Manager
i get:
Sorry! The application Advance Task Manager (process con.arron.taskManager) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
edit:
just tried another app... Aces Jewel Hunt downloaded and installed but closes right after the splash screen opens
Yhea i tried with that. i wasn't able to download the Splashtop before changing the build.prop and after changing that and rebooting i could. But i couldn't download the other two apps, i mean i even tried going on the browser to getjar.com and changed my device to the i9100 and even there i can't seem to get the code for the download because i get the same message that my device isn't compatible and im talking about the PC browser. Im gonna change again to the i9100 on the phone and wait a day or so and try again from the app, i don't understand why i have to do all this the app should be compatible.
Thanks again for the suggestions though

I'm using it now, it's awesome. No flash support currently though.
I'm using it now,no flash support yet, it seems fast but when i scroll down fast there is a lot of unloaded stuff or takes a sec to show. It doesn't seem as fast as stock at least to me so far well see as i play with it more. It does sync with your desktop.
I don't think it's gonna get Flash either, adobe's not developing it for mobile browsers anymore. Don't know if a 3rd party dev can do anything about that though.

But the implementation of Flash would be Google's doing. Not Adobe's.
Right, Adobe's done updating. But mobile flash is already here. It's all about the browser taking Flash into account, as opposed to Flash supporting a browser isn't it?

Check the requirements.
Do you have ICS?
Adobe already made an official statement and said Flash will not be in Android Chrome browser. Link to info is in the other thread on chrome browser.
Still needs a lot of work. At the moment it is slower than other browsers, doesn't allow you to change user agent and like mentioned, no flash. I was hoping they would have had addon support from the beginning too.

It absolutely makes no sense why non-US Prime's cannot get access to Chrome Beta. No sense whatsoever. Android 4.0 has adoption rate of 1% on the market anyway, out of this only fraction would try out Chrome Beta.
I would love to have Chrome downloaded from Market so it could get future updates without having to chase down APK's each time.
This is frustrating. But hey, at least we now have Chrome on Android.
I just upgraded to Jellybean yesterday and ICS Browser+ stopped working for obvious reasons. So now I am stuck with the chrome browser and wondering if there is some way that I can force it to always use desktop mode and never default to phone. I dont want to hit the "request desktop site" regularly and would just wish the setting would stick permanently.
But is that possibl?. ICS Browser+ gave me that functionality but it doesnt work with Jellybean. And mind you I am looking for a solution/fix/hack that WORKS in Chrome, and is NOT interested in switching browser...
Hoping someone might be able to provide the magic key to making this possible

check the 5th post..hope this helps!
Sadly this doesnt work. it doesnt save request desktop mode and still forces me to mobile sites
Open browser and in the address bar type about:debug nothing will happen then go to the browser settings and you'll have more options. Select settings, debug, uastring. Good to go. some phones it doesn't stick and have to do every time use browser
Oops...my bad...doesn't work with chrome but it does on the stock browser. Not sure what the string is for chrome. On opera it's aboutpera so maybe about:chrome?
The about trick for ICS only worked till the browser was closed or you rebooted, so sadly still not a permanent fix :/
Mine sticks on the stock browser. didn't before but does on jb

DOES NOT WORK!!!
I have already done this and tried that. Rebooted phone several times, etc etc. If I go to sites like Android Central I still get booted to m.androidcentrel.com instead of the real one...

Well then i guess you either do the about: debug and change your uastring or have a mobile browser. I personally don't have any issues with it sticking, still desktop on reboot.
You could try this

I tried the about debug trick on my SGS2 back when I was actively using that. And that never stuck on reboot, and got turned off as soon as i closed the browser.
And why google for it when I suspected this site was to go to site for the android phones, but perhaps I am wrong in that assumption. I mean I did actually try the search build into this forum and since that didn't yield anything then I asked
Point being..i didn't make the YouTube video. I wasn't even on YouTube. I shared what works for me. Sorry what i offered wasn't a solution, but there really was no reason to yell. You asked for help, i offered. If don't like what everyone suggested, see link above.
I don't even have an s3, i have gnex. Just saw your post in the threads and offered assistance. My bad

The last link you shared was a hidden comment to go google for the solution . That is what sorta ticked me off <.<. BUT that being said the proposed fix does work on chrome, but NOT with the stock JB browser.
I was led to believe that the stock JB browser was chrome but matter of factly it can't be Chrome, considering the chrome-command-line fix does not seem to do anything to the stock browser at all. But it works on the version of Chrome from Play Store

Still not relevant to this particular subject tho . But I see now that my original question was erroneous since yes the fix does work on chrome. But at the same turn the JB stock browser != Chrome
No actually it was quite relevant. Seeing how you missed it...basically if going to be rude and yell at people who could have skipped over your thread so could get a new rom or mod..google it yourself.

Im not getting a new rom, thanks for offering the suggestion tho . I prefer the stock Samsung feel, but just don't agree on some of the settings. And my own skills into messing with system files and what not arent exactly on par with what I would expect would be required, hence why I am seeking for a mod, rather then building one myself from scratch.
Nevermind.
And I can only aspire to one day build my own rom.
