I am not really familiar with this app, but heard it is good and that you can get it from the Google play store for a limited time at $0.99

I have seen that the previous versions will stop working now that a new version is out.

I have been seeing people say that the beta version will stop working. As i am a bit of a n00b in this regard, i am unsure how that will happen, but people are saying it will.

I am talking about the last update to JellyBean on the Gnex.

I assume keylimepie will be even better.

I used the "real thing" and since I updated to Android 4.2.2 the swype on the stock keyboard has some advantages over swype itself. Only problem is the symbols they haven't figured out.

For starters it's cleaner. First thing I noticed that was changed was that in the numbers page you get the period option. Vs the beta you had to switch to abc to get that period in there

Which device?
I just got the HTC One and the only thing I miss from my EVO LTE is the old Swype. Don't like this new version. The period option is one of my main issues. I also hate the fact that when pressing backspace instead of erasing a word, stopping, erasing a word, stopping, it just goes without stopping, that used to be a great feature.

Also, while I'm at it, my personal dictionary (from Swype) from my old device was backed up but I can't remember what email address it was under to be able to restore it on my new device, any ideas on how I can find that out?

You should've gotten a code to the email that you registered.Search all your email accounts for an email from Swype

Sometimes it takes a few hours to get that email.

So does the paid version have the backspace feature?

Right, was just asking if there's a quicker way than having to check 20+ email addresses. Additionally, I might have deleted the email.
