So when I transitioned from Android to iPhone I immediately went on the hunt for those apps I had grown accustomed to on my old Android device. For me, possesing fingers that are, lets say, not so device keyboard friendly Swype was a very useful tool. Swype, in a very junk version can be purchased in the apple app store. Don't waste your time or money. It can only swipe a note or a new message it does NOT replace the keyboard and become a useful tool throughout your iPhone.
First you must jailbreak your iPhone. See my blog here for instructions on doing so (at your own risk of course).
now on to the good stuff!
Installing iSwipe
- Launch Cydia
- Click Manage
- Click Sources
- Click Edit
- Click Add
- Add the following URL source: http://cydia.myrepospace.com/wyndwarrior
- Once the source has been added and updated do a search in Cydia for iSwipe
- There install iSwipe
Enjoy!
There are plenty of posts out there on jailbreaking your iphone and this is just one of them. However, since I have successfully jailbroken an iPhone 4s iOS 6.1.2 using Envasi0n I figured I would share.
- Be sure to first backup your iPhone using these instructions.
- Create a folder called Pwnage on your desktop
- Download Evasi0n from here .
- Extract the Evasi0n zip file to the Pwnage folder on your desktop.
- Remove any lock screen passcodes on your device
- Double click the newly created evasi0n-win folder to open it.
- Make sure your iPhone is connected via USB cable.
- Right click the Evasi0n icon and select Run as Administrator from the context menu to launch the app.
