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.

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.

Theres 2 i found in under 2 seconds.

From the Swype Forums, about rooted custom rom users not being able to install the beta:
I warned 'em this would happen We've got a phonecall happening today to discuss the best course of action here. Will keep you all posted.

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?
Edit: a simple search helped me find where to look. Running swype beautifully

You also need a file called libSwypeCore.so
It's in /system/lib/

My Files.apk

How can I install it on nebula rom? Its needed to run some process and was removed on it.
Thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

pull the apk out of another rom. It should be in either /data/apps or /system/apps. You can use something like Astro or ES file manager to "open" the apk and install it to your phone.

Ok thanks. Ill try.

It work using sdx app rev. Tried to do manual don't work.

What is sdx app rev? I pulled the file from a ROM, and copied it onto my sdcard, but wont install into the phone.

You need to push it to /system/app/ with adb or via terminal on the phone.

If the rom is deodexed, and I want to pull an app from a non deodexed rom, how can I do?
Thanks

Pull the files out of another rom. They are just zip files.

Yes, but the app that I want is the stock notes app. And I think that Im not going to find a deoxed rom with that app. And I cant find it in market.
Thanks

This is a zip that contains a deodexed version of every stock ec05 app.
Its a flashable zip, but I'm not sure what else is in there, so just take what you want/need, and drop in system/app

swype just got a huge update

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

Works amazing for me on Bonsai 3.0.1 just follow my steps.

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.

darn.. wish i i knew that before i did this lol

Heres the stock one I pulled from one of Vipers ROM's.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20775362/Swype.apk
Just put it in system/app and it should work fine.
Swype isn't ROM specific Overstew. Any of them can use Swype.

crap... that's f/cing too. even after a reboot\
do i have to replace libSwypecore.so also?

yes phones need to be rooted and after deleting the files also do a reboot and then just follow the instructions on the swype installer

It worked perfectly. And I've been rooted since unboxing. The thanks so much. Huge help.

I rooted my phone primarily because I missed swype so much. But after using this new version.. well. I'm sad. Somehow now I feel SlideIT is better. Faster, at least. The new swype is SLOWW.

I actually really disagree there. I rooted my phone primarily for the express reason to be able to update swype. The stock-froyo version was quite slow for me, sometimes it took 3-4 seconds to react (which is a LONG time when you're trying to type).
The new swype beta is not only soooo much faster for me but it also better recognizes what I mean to type (erm... swype ). I'm really glad I upgraded as this is a HUGE improvement if you ask me

I am trying to add many languages to swype keyboard v3.6

[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.

just uninstall swype and swype installer, reboot, d/l the newest swype installer and you should be good

That works best. That's actually what I usually do..I'm just delirious right now.

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.
