[Q] Swype with voice icon

Has anyone ported or got a version working on the vibrant. I have seen it on the droid x and on one of the newer HTC's

If you can get me the swype apk from one of those devices i can bring it over no problem at all i just havnt found a system dump for either but to be fair i havnt really been looking.

I have been looking but posting the file has been banned. I was hoping it was possibly included in the new froyo build or perhaps some of the newer European builds. I might be able to get a copy off a droid x or evo 4g if you can pull it with titanium backup, would I be able to just straight load it up with apploader?
Thanks for all your help I am just learning so will of course have lots of questions

There's another thread about this, but it had a non-obvious title. I posted some stuff in there, but I'll repost here as people are more likely to find it.
Get the Swype.apk from the dump, no I can't post it here for you. The Swype company has asserted their copyright and XDA won't violate it.
Open a text field and change keyboards so Swype isn't active.
adb pull /system/app/Swype.apk Swype.backup
Don't install it, just copy it over the one on your phone. I used this:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app/
Root explorer, SUFBS, etc. can do it. Yes, you need root. Just do it, it's drop dead simple.
Now, switch back to Swype keyboard using the long-press on a text field. You have a voice button. The down side I found, was that the popup window with word choices is yellow with white text. Talk about hard to read. I'll attach a MetaMorph that fixes that.
Just download my Morph, then go to the Market and download the MetaMorph application. Launch Metamorph and let it do its checks. You should have a mostly empty screen with 2 buttons at the bottom. Select "Unzip/Extract new theme". Now use the file browser to find the file you downloaded. It's probably in /sdcard/download if you downloaded in the browser. Select the ZIP and it will tell you about the morph. Just hit "apply all" at the bottom and let it do it's thing. Now your Swype popup will look stock with the black background.

Weird, I'm running Vibrant6 and the epic swype does not work as outlined here. The kb opens, but the 2 lower left and 2 lower right buttons are blank. The kb doesn't respond to input either, showing the blue error outline around the kb.

Actually, when I reverted back to the stock swype, I had the same missing buttons and lack of functionality. I then installed the epic swype (by executing the apk), uninstalled it, and the old Swype started working again.

Where is that other thread located? Whats the title?

I am having the same problem as the previous poster that gets the keyboard, but no swype buttons, input, or typing ability. I attempted to overwrite the swype.apk with the epic swype.apk using Root Explorer. What do I need to do differently?

Add another to this list. Exactly the same. It wouldn't let me push the file back
Code:
C:\Users\TJHart85\Desktop\Vib_Phone\_REPLACEMENT_FILES>adb push Swype.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Swype.apk' to '/system/app//Swype.apk': Permission denied
C:\Users\TJHart85\Desktop\Vib_Phone\_REPLACEMENT_FILES>adb push Swype.apk /system/app
failed to copy 'Swype.apk' to '/system/app/Swype.apk': Permission denied
I then used Root Explorer to copy the new APK to /system/app/
I then got the same keyboard as others have that doesn't accept any input.
Putting the original file back didn't make it work again either, so I'm doing a nandroid restore back to a few hours ago (luckily I replaced a few system files earlier and had decided to make a nandroid just in case).
The only non-stock part of my phone is that I have SIM-unlocked it & applied the lagfix ...lagfix makes it take forever to restore too :-(
Restarting did not make a difference.

Something like "why can't we do this"... Not sure why they used that.
Note that I am using the EVO swype, NOT the Epic one. And you have to REPLACE the existing Swype. DO NOT USE THE PACKAGE INSTALLER. You have to place it with adb or something like root explorer should work. It must OVERWRITE the existing one. Make a backup of your Swype so you can get back to it. There should be no reason to have to restore a Nandroid with this mod.
If adb push gives you a permission denied, you have the system mounted read-only or don't have root. Try the JAC kernel, that's what I'm using, and it worked fine. I don't know or care if it works with the stock kernel, the JAC is that much better.

Can you tell me which version of the EVO swype has the speech to text feature? I have a 1.56 apk, but i believe there are more recent versions.

I am using 1.57.32.7688 from evo and it works perfectly

Wow... I have just been through the whole process of adding this to my phone and I must say I have learned a lot! So I figured i'd share for anyone who might benefit:
The main reason it was so hard for me is because I am running eugene373's vibrant7 rom and in that rom swype is removed by default. This allows you to just install the swype file (swype-evo-tts.apk) using package installer without any troubles. *BUT* It makes the Swype_No_Yellow.zip not work. This is because when swype is installed stock it's in the system/app folder but when it's just installed as a regular app it's in a different folder(data/app).
Sooo I went and taught myself how to edit .apk files! Yay!
This thread was AMAZINGLY helpfull: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503007
So basically I followed the steps in that thread except I moved the files in Swype_No_Yellow.zip to the corresponding folder in swype-evo-tts.apk using 7-zip. Then I used the auto-signing tool and tada! I have swype tweaked perfectly for me!
[rant] It sure would be nice if I could just post up the file I created and save y'all the trouble. But I understand the forum rules. I just think everyone coming to this forum has vibrant and has payed for swype! We sure as heck can tweak it as we please, but why can't we upload those tweaks and share amongst ourselves?! The real question is why didn't swype just include a text to speech button on the vibrant?!?! [/rant] Oh wellz
Good luck!

Yes, the morph looks for it in /system/app as that's where I told people to install it.
You could have just modified the morph xml file to point to /data/app, but understanding apk files is very useful if you want to play with the phone at this level.

tt, I've been looking with no luck for the evo swype. Got a link?

I don't, sorry. I downloaded it from an XDA thread before the mods caught it. I don't think we are even supposed to link from here. Irritating.
I'd host it myself, but I don't feel like joining Cyanogen in the C&D club.

This didn't work for me I tried to use Vibrant1.zip version of swype to revert back with root explorer and that didn't work so I had to do a nandroid restore, I wouldn't try this you would think it would just work but guess not.

Using EVO keyboard with arrows on NON-EVO builds

Im sorry if this is the wrong section for this, I figured this would be the best spot.
The reason im posting this is because a lot of people were asking how to use the EVO keyboard (with arrows) on NON-Evo sense builds. First off, as far as I have tried, the build does have to be a sense build. I have tested this on just about every sense build for the HD2.
I've attached the renamed apk that ive been using. Hopefully it will work since I sent it straight from my phone. If you use it, skip #1.
1.) Rename the HTC_IME.apk to newHTC_IME.apk
2.)Go into the folder where the newHTC_IME.apk is (if you download it from your phone then it will be in the "download" folder) and using "Root Explorer" or another root file explorer long press the apk and select copy.
3.)Go to your system>>app folder and paste the newHTC_IME.apk. Since its not the same name as the original it will not ask you if you want to over ride the original. But it will still be there if you choose you do not want the EVO keyboard later on.
4.) You WILL have to reboot for the changes to take affect, if you do not you will not have a keyboard till you do reboot.
I hope I didnt make this complicated lol, and yes i know....some of you know how to do this. I did it for the ones who did not.

Works perfectly with desire sense mdeejay build. Thanks.

the method you're doing won't work.. follow the OP's instruction on how to do it, or install droid explorer and then copy/paste the newHTC_IME.apk file to system/app folder.

BE VERY WARY ABOUT THIS!!!
I'm going to have to start from scratch as doing this has lost my keyboard, permanently.
I keep getting a "Sorry" message saying that "The application Touch Input has stopped unexpectedly" and my keyboard is unavailable.
This is after installing this new keyboard, as well as after restoring the original one. It's basically just screwed my keyboard so I'm going to have to rebuild my instance of Android from scratch.

thnx!
SOLVED: I was able doing the same, deleting HTC_IME.pak and copying newHTC_IME.pak. Thnx!!!

[Q] Swype for MyTouch 4G

I love the swype feature on the android phones so far. While I was trying to upgrade to a newer version, it says "Application cannot be installed". I even deleted the old version with Titanium Backup Pro and tried to install the new one and no go Is there a reason why I can't install it?

Try to reboot your phone after you uninstall it..

ive been having the same problem with trying to uninstall swype and install new version....sadly i cant...any tips....or work around

I was in a thread about this weeks ago and we hadn't figured it out... we wanted the mic button.. tried the G2 swype and it wouldn't work.. I gave up for now. thanks to nandroid when I lost my original! There is yet another thread around here somewhere with the original swype to go back to stock... or just flash iced glacier.. its dope fast and the genius button loads way faster

This can be done, you need a few things first,
need to be rooted
need root explorer
need a new copy of swype
You need to kill the existing swype process, go into Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, find Swype, Force Stop, Clear Data.
Use 7zip to extract the new Swype(i found one via google that is red and black with the mic button) Once extracted you will need to find "libSwypeCore.so" its under \lib\armeabi
copy both Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so to your SD card, make sure the CASE matches the above.
Open Root Explorer Mounr R/W, and copy Swype.apk to \system\app overwrite the existing file
then copy libSwypeCore.so from your SD card and copy to \system\lib overwrite the existing file
if you dont get an overwrite mesage your file case is incorrect, doublecheck it.
reboot your phone and navigate back to system\app and install Swype.apk, you shouldnt have any trouble now.
goto settings\language & keyboard and open swype settings, then go back and check the swype check box.
your swype should be fully functional now.

These files can be found on in any rom that has Swype installed with the rom. What Rom are you trying to put it on?

Finally got Swype to work...
... after rooting, I wanted to install Swype. Downloaded via the Swype webpage, but kept getting "Trial Period Has Ended."
They suggested uninstalling the older version, and reinstalling via the Installer. Problem was, uninstalling was not an option. The work around is: Using a root file explorer (I used AntTek Explorer), you'll need to rename/delete the existing Swype files in order to reinstall the newer working version. To do this, start your root-explorer and navigate to /system/app/Swype.apk, and rename it (I added .bak to the file name). Then do the same for /system/lib/libSwypecore.so
Now reboot your phone, then rerun the Swype Installer! Wallla!

I ran swype for a few hours, and found I didn't like it.

Yes, I just did it. Pushed with adb. works fine.

edit1: i thought i read somewhere that it was multi touch, but this doesnt seem to be

maybe it would function better with the 2.3 build

I have never tried adb and wouldn't know what to do. Is there another way to get it working. Tried installing normally, using Root Explorer and placing in system/app but I get force closes with these methods.
Edit: So I researched and it seems as though the adb method is pretty much the same as using root explorer (correct me if I'm wrong) and yet I still get force closes. FYI I did try with adb and still no luck...

this version http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...bread-2-3-keyboard-w-working-predictions.html has supposedly fixed the auto correction/word prediction.

I got it to work with predictions. Used adb push with the two files in "system" in the ZIP. Very fast and predictive!

Still can't seem to get it to stop force closing. Perhaps it's the build I'm using, who knows.

how you drag and drop? I can't view my Desktop in Droid Explorer, so how you drag your file into the /system?

Well, almost drag and drop (sorry, I deleted that bit from my comment before posting since I don't really use drag-and-drop, the keyboard is just faster). You have to use Ctrl+C (or right click -> copy if you fancy) from explorer/desktop/where-ever then right click -> paste in droid explorer at the appropriate location.
You'll get a dialog popping up showing you the copy progress (it's pretty quick).

What you could do is create a root/system/app folder in the root folder of your android build on your sd card, place the latinime.apk in that folder, restart and the file should be placed in the system/app folder on your phone. Or you could use ES Explorer and place the latinime.apk in the system/app folder on your phone.

I'm currently using the HD build as well, and I noticed that I couldn't use the droid multi touch keyboard which is a real bummer cuz I really liked that one. It worked on Motoman's Black and Blue build.
Anyways, I'll try this and see what happens.
edit: nope, doesn't work. It seems that the DesireHD does not have the stock android keyboard, as I didn't have to overwrite any files. Does this make any sense? I really want a keyboard without arrows and that does not have haptic feedback. The newest version of better keyboard removed the option to 1) go without keypad sounds and 2) go without haptic feedback. Really don't feel like paying for another keyboard though, as it just seems silly.

works great for me, this is what i did.
connect your phone vua usb to your pc. copy LatinIME.apk & libjni_latinime.so from the zip. copy them to the same folder where 'adb.exe' is (android sdk). Open a command prompt (cmd.exe from the start menu > search bar). cd to your android sdk folder, where you put the apk & so files. type the following...
adb push Latinime.apk /system/app
adb push libjni_latinime.so /system/lib/
long press in a text field > select input type > pick android keyboard.

U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it. What i do is use search when in the system folder, search swype. The two will show. Then you'll have to put those on the same folders on your system

U can download a rom like iced glacier, and you'll need root explorer. extract the the zip. The apk is in system system/ apps. The lib is in the lib folder, although i don't know the name of it. What i do is use search when in the system folder, search swype. The two will show. Then you'll have to put those on the same folders on your system

I was able to put everything in the right folders but when I tried to use swype it had the look of the old swype but no functionality. How so you flash it in recovery like the other guy did?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

U can't flash it in recovery, he worded that wrong, make sure the permissions are set right

Check the post below. It's for the G2, but works for MT4G as well (just verified).

As the post suggests, put your Swype files in the same folder as ADB and you should be fine. Note that you will have to go to Settings > Language & keyboard, and manually enable Swype since it's disabled by default.

is there any free "root manager" app out there i can get for this?
Thanks in advance!

I do believe you can use AndroidMate from the market.

ok, so apparently I don't know what I'm doing lol.
Sorry if this appears totally n00bish but thats what I am.
If I extract the .apk and the libswypecore.so from another Rom and place them into their respective folders on the Rom I'd like to use, (ex. placing swype.apk into the "app" folder on cm7) and then flash the Rom and start from scratch, shouldn't that work?
I actually tried it and it didn't. Am i missing something? I was hoping the answer was that obvious but it failed. Swype shows up but i get "swype package you installed is configured for another device" message and it continues to only function as a regular keyboard.
I'd prefer to avoid going through the CMD prompt on my computer again because without super detailed instructions, I really don't know how to go about doing it. So if anyone, anywhere can help me out it would be super appreciated. I checked the forums and I keep getting lost in the words.
(perhaps shouldn't have rooted my phone if I can't make it that far huh? but we all have to start somewhere I suppose)
Forgive me for making this so long winded but the more details i give up front the less back and forth messages that wing clog up forums.
