Iswipe sucks

Tremonti · Jan 22, 2012

Just jail broke iPhone 4s and love it. But disappointed in iswipe. Nothing like swype on androids. In fact so bad I deleted it. Unusable.

Anyone find something better or the real swype?

Really really want this!!!!

No "real" Swype available for iPhone. If you want to see it become available, I believe there's a link on the Swype website to tell Apple to allow it on the market. Swype would love to release it but Apple isn't allowing it.

iSwipe is the closest you'll ever get to swipe on iPhone.

There have been talks about Bringing swype to iphone but still waiting on it.

You need to add its repo, its in beta for ios 5 and they are making it better

http://cydia.myrepospace.com/wyndwarrior/
Add this to your sources

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do you add sources that aren't listed in Cydia?

Go to cydia-manage-sources-edit-add

A box pops up that says http://
You add the address i gave you

Then click ADD and it will add the repo (you ll see the screen downloading packages and updating and adding the repo stuff

And then it will tell you to return to cydia, and when you perform a search for the specific program/tweak, you ll find it

Cool, learned something new. Yes, swipe is not as polished as it was on droid, but it will get there.

Strange....maybe try again in a bit, cydia servers act up sometimes

The problem is it either has to work good or I don't use it at all. It's for typing....not like I'm gonna use it if it works 30% of the time. That would take forever. The whole point of swype is to make typing faster. So if having to erase and respell every other word you type happens....then it just ain't worth it to have at all
