Why does it just seem to quit working sometimes. When I try to type a word the border flashes blue. Reinstalling it helps, but it seems to revert in a few hours.

Only issue I had when swype beta was that on first installation of it, after the installer program selected it and activated it as the keyboard it wouldnt work (did the blue blinking you mentioned). But I disabled it, re-ran the Swype Installer program, and re-setup per the instructions and now its working fine. Might try re-running the Installer?
That's been an issue with beta for a while. Happened on my Moment too. It'll happen everytime you reboot. Quickest way to fix it is to select a different input method and then reselect Swype and it'll work until you reboot.
re-selecting it works. I'm so derp today.
Thanks.

No need to re install the Swype Installer. If you have root, use Titanium Backup and restore Swype (not Swype Installer). It should work after...
PS make sure Swype Installer and Swype have already been backed up!
Go download a ROM for the EVO that's using the 3.70 software and pull out the Swype apks from it.

I applied ryanzas lag fix and want to remove it quickly. Will formatting my phone via settings remove it? Does this remove root because I want to keep that.

What version of his lag fix did you apply? You could just use the unlagfix option if you used the market version or the one click.
I did the original the one that required a computer. Can't get to a computer for like couple of days and wondering if I can just remove it doing that method.
Yes formatting your phone.still remove it

I believe if you download the lagfix from the market, you can uninstall it. It gives me an option to remove it.
Search for "lag fix" and you'll find it in the market.

This will only work for lagfix V1+ If I remember correctly. I had installed the one click alpha version via adb and wasn't able to uninstall using the OCLF app. I had to do a complete wipe to get rid of it. The unlagfixme didn't work for me. I installed the app to make life a lil more simple after my wipe.

Do a titanium back up of all of your apps, flash the vibrant stock firmware, or even the new leaked one found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780935
Than use titanium to restore all your stuff, and you will have successfully removed it no matter the version you had used.
I have to go back to odin? You sure the format won't work?

If you did the computer one, you can undo it the same you you applied it, by clicking the file that says "undolagfix" or something similar.
I also installed OCLF but the market version and then I undone everything... But I noticed I still have update.zip should I delete it? Did stock vibrant come with update.zip?

Any idea how long it is supposed to take? I tried to use that and after "allowing" the application from supeuser permissions, it just kinda froze for about 10 minutes, so I rebooted my phone and then i bricked and the phone stayed on a black screen after the samsung G boot screen
anyone try installing the gingerbread keyboard on the mt4g? i just tried and i can't seem to do it...
i installed the zip but i can't choose the gingerbread keyboard. any thoughts?
I installed it (via clockwork) and it will open but everytime I press a key I get a FC for 'android.process.inputmethod.latin' I only have English selected too.
Very strange, hopefully someone sorts this out.
In the mean time, anyone know the terminal or adb commands to uninstall this kb?

I flashed it via clockwork recovery, and don't even see the Gingerbread keyboard listed as an input method. (Same issue as OP) - FWIW I'm running Iced Glacier v1.1.1, phone is rooted with S-OFF.
I'm also on iced glacier, could be the keyboard file you're using. Try the file from a different source..

just out of curiosity, which source did you use?

And it worked?
I had problems at first too - was installing from recovery but couldn't select it after I rebooted.
Figured out that from recovery mode you need to mount /system before installing the zip from sdcard. Mount then install and it should install and be there when you reboot
UPDATE: I'm getting the same FC problems a previous user was having whenever i hit a key on the new keyboard
Wait, what? I tried installing simply with root explorer. There is one file that goes to system/app and another to system/lib. Following a reboot, there is no input option besides the three default inputs.
I tried installing this keyboard a about an hour ago and the following happened: The first install appeared to go well and I could not find the keyboard listed so I tried installing the updated V2(fabulouso ginerbread v2. zip)of this zip and and this time it soft bricked my phone. Luckily I was able to boot into clockworkmode recovery and restore. I am on V5 and have s=off but no other customizations. I have no idea why this happened. Any one have any thoughts on this?

No sir, someone asked what source I obtained the KB I tried from.
Probably another stupid error on my part, but my Android keyboard has disappeared. Apparently I am one of only a few that doesn't like the Swype keyboard.
So I rooted my phone, and also am running LauncherPro. It wasn't until I installed LP that I discovered that my Android keyboard disappeared. When I long hold in a text input box, the keyboard prompt comes up.....but Swype is the only selectable option.
Fwiw, I hadn't touched any apps at all after rooting......when I noticed this. Shortly after, I started disabling some apps (never deleted any)....by changing the file names from APK to BAK. I wonder if maybe I just didn't notice until later.....and possibly have disabled whatever file the Android keyboard is in?
Suggestions? Fwiw, when I go to Setting>keyboards......Swype is the only thing there as well. I have also uninstalled LP and reinstalled, for ****s and giggles.
Help!!!! I hate Swype!!!
Thanks to anyone that gives this a shot.
I'm in the same boat. Also tried flashing from rom manager, with no success. Running dj05/.9 superclean/stupidfast 1.54.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
You can reload the Rom if it was there to begin with.
Also, why rename BAK?
In the original thread of rooting over at androidcentral it was recommended to rename them with a .old at the end and not change the APK. This way the file stays but no longer shows in the dock.
Also, if you have the files on your computer to restore your phone you can just nuke the stuff you don't want as long as it doesn't have a necessary purpose for the OS.
I am still new to the hacking stuff. I am halfway wondering if I lost my Android keyboard when I rooted. I followed the AndroidCentral thread for the one click root....and was successful. Fwiw, I cannot successfully install ROM manager either.....so I couldn't fix an earlier problem by running my backup from Clockwork.
Should I remove the root, and install another? Again, I am green to all of this stuff.....so the easier stuff is worded or instructions are given, the better. I guess I'm old.

Use the zip 1.5.5
Read the thread and follow the instructions. Piece of cake to get your root access back.

As do I....regarding XP. There instructions for XP.
Do you have superuser? If not, grab it from the market. Also use ODIN and install CWMRecovery.

U do. I have ODIN as well, but can't get my computer to connect in ODIN to the cell phone. I have installed the correct drivers, but it won't work for the life of me.

Remove your battery, hold the volume down button and plug in while still holding the button down. The screen should come up with a yellow android guy and ODIN should show "COM" something or another in the top left box. This is how you get in to Download.

Ok now im having problems with themes from the toolbocks. I click on the theme I want and it says downloading and installing then looks like its rebooting then its looks like its installing it but then it says aborted. I then need to select the reboot phone to get back
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
It will reboot the phone and go in to recovery mode and install the theme on it's own. If the installation aborted that means the download didn't finish right.
Once your phone is booted up go in to the file manager and in the liberty folder there is a downloads folder, click on it and you will see the different themes that you downloaded. The ones that don't work but are listed there need to be deleted so you can redownload and attempt the install again.
I wanted to add, you are much better off downloading the themes while connected to wi-fi then 3g.
It worked thank you. I think I just didn't let it download all the way

I have recently rooted and installed CM7 RC1 on my MyTouch 4G everything seemed to be going well for the first about 30 mins i got gapps installed (manually btw) but suddenly after the phone started to install apps from the android marketplace i can no longer long press on the home screen nor can i move widgets i can still feel the haptic feedback but no response.
Sounds like a bad install, reinstall clear all user data, cache, dalvik-cache and fix permissions before booting back up.

Thanks ill try that right now and come back with any other issues. That presist after re-install.
Also wanted to state that for installing Gapps i had to do it the Manual way if that matters or if anybody is having trouble installing them.

No i mean instead of having RomManager do it i did it manually in recovery.
Yeah, that's what I meant. I never do anything important like that in rom manager, always boot into recovery.

i had that same problem and it was a simple fix on my part. i actually had accidently hit lock desktop under the more menu on the desktop screen. u can long press and nothing happens or cant move widgets while the desktop is locked. try seeing under the desktop menu if it is locked if so unlock it and that should work. hope this helps some
