Swype - EVO 4G General

Well, the Beta is now closed for Evo with the following error "Swype is available for the Evo with the latest OTA update!"
Problem is.... like most of us, I'm rooted and not accepting the OTA update. Can someone post the APK please?

Good luck, the MODS have already went over this. Even though Swype is now in the OTA for the Evo the apk is still not to be posted on XDA. So basically its still against the rules. Rumor has it Google may be helpful.

Ahh didnt think it's still against the rules still. Argh

I understand since it was a closed beta but now that it is an open beta, shouldn't APKs be allowed to be posted? Since everyone can download it now (except for the poeple with rooted phones )

Anyone know what the current working Swype version is?

It is 2.15

XDA actually received a c&d from swype, so until it's fully released, the apk's can't be posted. It's only ok if it's a part of a rom.

In was immediately part of the beta when it opened...
It installed swype installer, then the new swype. New swype was sweet.. But it had no dictionary. Nothing swyped. Went back to my old version.

Download a rom with the new ota. Pic the apk from the rom put it on your sd card, use a file manager to find it and install it.

+1 to that... Or just flash newest unrevokedforever.zip , ruu back to 3.29 accept OTA and install custom recovery from Amon-Ra that works with hboot 2.10 and have everything completely updated with root and nand unlocked...
That's what I did.

Why not just update to the newest "OTA" through one of the roms that are already rooted? This will include the new yet very old version of swype that the OTA has.

Hopefully they find a workaround.

Odd.. I had zero problems installing it on CM 6.1. In fact I could install _both_ the OTA release (grabbed a custom zip) _and_ the beta apk... the the beta one acted a bit odd for me.
Guess I'm lucky, or the fact that most custom ROM are Sense based the beta installer must be mis-identifying said ROMs as the stock build and telling you to isntall the OTA (which wouldn't be a problem for an AOSP ROM lie CM or miui).

I was trying to not have to go through the hassle but I have it now thanks guys!

I did that and all I get are FCs every 5 minutes and the keyboard won't work

If you have root explorer check to be sure all old swype data is gone, reboot that reinstall the apk. This happened to me and it fixed the fc.

Please excuse my ignorance but can you tell me where exactly is the old data?

You also need a file called libSwypeCore.so

"Application Not Installed" when installing Angry Birds

I've downloaded the supposedly final version of Angry Birds, but I can't get the apk to install. When I try to load the .apk I get the message "Application Not Installed" and the process ends.
Any ideas as to a possible work around?
I'm rooted using netarchy's kernel, but the stock ROM with all the latest updates.

it will be hard to help you because no one else had this version. it is not in the market. it will be hard to determine if it's the app or your setup.
Yea, in Rovio's infinite wisdom they released the final product on Getjar.com and not on the market. So I didn't illegally download it, it just is from that website.

I'm rollin' stock HTC Rom, so I'm really perplexed why this isn't working out for me - at least.
On the positive side of things, at least Rovio is getting killed out there for this distribution method. The official links are down. People are posting dropbox links that are getting shut down for overcapacity. This is officially a mess. Here's to hoping we see it on the market sooner rather than later [and without ads - i'd gladly pay].

swype not working after update

so i just updated to the newest version on my EVO and my swype is force closing non-stop.
Background info - I was an official swype beta tester and had the most recent swype beta installed prior to update install
I noticed on the change log that this update was supposed to include swype (after the fact, of course).
So i had swype beta installed when i said yes to the update.
Do you think because i had the beta installed during the update messed it all up?
I uninstalled the beta and there is no trace of swype on my phone. when i reinstall swype beta, it crashes.
any help would be appreciated! i miss my swype.
So lemme get this right. You received the new update already. Get in contact with a dev so it can be pulled from your phone and distributed to the rest of us. Lol

Go to Applications, Swype, Clear Data. If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it. If that doesn't work, try clearing cache and Dalvik cache from recovery.
If it still doesn't work downgrade to a previous version ROM. Or use Ultra Keyboard, which is leaps and bounds better than Swype.

Son of a...This is confirmed. Just downloaded the update (before I came here) and now Swype is stuck. I was also a tester and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Beta version but that has not worked. I suppose a warning from HTC might have been appropriate, given the popularity of Swype and the fact that they just did a Beta release! Lesson learned. At the very least, come over here and see if anyone else has had any trouble. DOH!
Update: It's a fairly simple fix. Just uninstall the Swype Installer and Swype itself, then shut down and restart. It should just reboot with the new Swype in place.
if you guys are official swype beta users like myself then you should know one of swype's main rules is DON'T INSTALL SWYPE ON A DEVICE THAT COMES PRELOADED WITH SWYPE.

New Market 2.2.10 apk

Here ya go guys, it's Market v2.2.10. It installed and runs perfectly on my Crackflashers AOSP Gingerbread ROM. It's also fixed some issues where I would have to download something five or six times before it would install.
Parse error. Please post in a zip.

Here you go.
Blackrose, how did you install it?
I tried using Root Explorer to rename Vending.apk to Vending.apk.bak and then installing the file. I rebooted, but started getting FCs. I tried restoring the old Market but ended up needing to NANDroid. I am running Salvage Mod 9.6.
None of these are working.
Tried these and several others found around xda.. apparently its also being pushed to Nexus S. None of them work. Tried copying to /system/app and /data/app None of them in either place works.
Using stock 2.2 3.70 rooted rom.

I'm guessing it's because it was specifically designed for Gingerbread.
You have to push it via ADB..

I pushed this one via ADB, and while it opens and things look ok, as soon as I tap on a product I get an FC.
Is there something that needs to be done to initialize it? I did clear all the market settings before trying it.
Solution
Its not really much of a solution, more like an insight.
The reason why no one can install the market is because you flashed a rom without the market, then installed a newer version of gapps. The newer version of gapps assumes you updated and still have the market apk installed. The gapps file only includes the apk to update the market app.
Flash an older copy of gapps and then boot your phone. Run the setup and then flash an updated gapps. You now have the updated market.
Also anyone that was having the home button not working issue, this resolves it. Home button stopped working as a result of the above issue. You may have to install a rooted stock rom and then flash cm 6.1.2 and then your kernel and then the gapps in the above order.

Frome Swype site:
If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
uninstall swype using system app remover or Titanium backup.
go to http://beta.swype.com/
You will notice it says the new version will not work if swype is already pre-installed on your phone by the manufacturer.
If you try to install you will get an error.
Use astro to navigate to the root directory of your phone. navigate to /system/lib/ and delete libSwypecore. I believe that file is put in place to prevent you from using a new/updated version of swype.
Proceed to follow the link that was emailed to you when you registered on beta.swype.com.
I was able to get a swype board working with dk28 by removing the original sype stuff manually and copying in the new stuff.
I just installed it, it doesn't ad much feature wise, but it does perform very smooth. Its more accurate and stable than the stock Swype.
Here is how to install it.
Go here on your computer and register for Beta:https://beta.swype.com/android/create/
After you register, delete Swype from your phone (must be rooted). Go to system/app using RootExplorer and delete Swype.apk. Then go to system/lib and delete libSwypecore.so
Next, go to https://beta.swype.com/ on your phone. Login and download Swype Installer. Launch it when its done, and follow the on screen instructions. It will ask you to login and license Swype.
Once this is finished, enable Swype, and you are done!
And yes it does work as i'm running it now.
Does this mean I'll have to reinstall the beta over and over once the trial runs out? And what exactly does this update do different than my current version?

Yes. Betas expire and then it becomes a perpetual nuisance. Experienced it with the Moment and am glad to have a stock version.
I am not saying doing it is bad. Some people don't mind and I am not judging anyone's actions as negative in that regard. My personal choice is that I'm tired of doing that.

We're not allowed to give you it as it's a paid app and if you did want the stock version, you'd have to install a rom that has the stock version (syndicate, Bonsai). It's the only reason I left MidNIGHT rom.

[Q] is there a solution to the latest swype betas not working?

So apparently since the new Sprint ROMs include swype, swype beta no longer works on the EVO unless I go back to a froyo ROM. However this version of swype that's available with mik g is horrendous. Any one know of a solution to this?
Thanks.
Which beta you using? And I'm using the latest Swype I think but not sprint installed.

Yeah, i found another thread on this after my post. I tried following the directions but neither the app or the lib file were in my system. I deleted things through titanium before searching and must have removed something important because when I reinstall I just get force closes on restart.
I'm using mikg if it makes a difference. I'm having other problems with this ROM so i might as well just start over. I used mik froyo for ever without problems. I had everything the way I like it. Then found out the details about carrier iq. Rather then try doing it manually I went for the new ROM.
Anyway thanks for the help sorry for the rant.
