So I thought that liberty 1.5 did not have working swype. I managed to delete the swype.apk, and now I can not get swype to re-install.
Is there an easy way to do it? TY
Either restore a NANdroid backup if you have one or you'll have to SBF. I got rid of the preloaded swype and loaded the beta since it is a newer version. I added the extension ".bak" to all the necessary swype files that way if I need to get them back i can.
I think I got the beta version loaded, but I get a swype force close message everytime I restart my phone. If I boot into bootstrap and install liberty from .zip again what will happen?

If you install liberty again you will get swype back, but it will overwrite any modifications you have made since.the initial.install. use the liberty toolbox to do a full app/data backup and just restore it.after you reinstall liberty

Thanx, backup and re-install worked perfect!
Glad you were able to restore your Swype. For future reference, and for others who may need to reinstall Swype, here are instructions (and a link to version 2.15).

Adam, im noy sure if this is the version of swype that comes on the X, but if not, please dont post links, as XDA can get in trouble as swype put out an order/notice to not distibute versions of swype beta's or releases not originally intended for certain devices. Just an fyi, and my apologies if this is the correct version! Just didnt want you getting in trouble with swype or xda

Thanks for providing good guidance. Standalone Swype APKs were specifically forbidden in Swype's correspondence with XDA. The only legitimate way to provide Swype is as part of a ROM per said correspondence:
Inclusion of Swype in ROMs for devices which come with Swype preinstalled, where the version of Swype matches the version distributed with the device and all licensing mechanisms remain intact, and where the user is not infringing on any third party copyrights or other intellectual property rights or violating any third party (e.g., a device manufacturer or carrier) terms of service;

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

anyway, can anyone help with me swype issue?
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.

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.

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!

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
It's in /system/lib/
how can we get it?

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.
Anyone tried this on EB13 yet? i'm about to upgrade to EB13 and plan on trying this after

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.

Yeah, you do need that.
I guess you wont do that again!
I wanted to try out the newly released version of swype. So I deleted the preloaded swype and installed the new version. Everything worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Swype kept fc. I did have a back up of the old one. So I deleted the newer swype, and tried to restore the preloaded swype with Titanium Backup. TB said back up finished, but I couldn't find swype in the language section in the settings.
What can I do to have the preloaded swype again?
Moved as not android development
Has anybody successfully replaced pre-installed Swype with latest beta?
I thought I would try and install the latest version of Swype beta to replace the pre-installed version. I rooted, and followed the instructions at http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1641-Tutorial-Installing-Beta-Swype-on-Droid-X
However, like the op, Swype kept force closing on me even as I was trying to install it.
Has anybody been successful in updating Swype?

After uninstall the old version ,try to delete the file which is in /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so,than install the full version of Swype2.15.56.14870
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.
