As the title says, a samsung tablet got updated, and now refuses to allow an older app that was working fine before the update to launch or do anything other than pop a toast saying it was built for an older android version.

While there are other app options, none are the right fit.

So, I’m hoping there’s a way to make the app work anyway. It’s the Swype keyboard.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: solved!

As [email protected] said, there is a version on xda that works, as long as you only need the basic language it comes with. There is a way to make the language packs work, but it is supposedly fiddly.

    Luckily, not on everything yet. My phone is on Android 14 and it works fine. That’s kinda what pissed me off, because I know it isn’t the android version, it’s samsung changing something.

    But I’ve been trying out heliboard, and it’s acceptable, if not as arthritis friendly for my most used symbols. It allows for symbols to be partially remapped at least.
