[Q] Anyone else's swype not working?

I'm on cm6 and I had to download a different version of swype. It stopped working this morning and I was wondering if anyone had the same issue?

Yep, me too. Sucks, casue I loved the way mine was themed

What's the new version?

2.29.71 is current

The new swype made me have to uninstall swype and the swype installer, then reinstall, it was worth it though, the prediction is s million times better.

Mine also stopped working when I went to CM7 N17 and for some reason I wasn't able to re-install swype with swype installer so I just signed up with a new e-mail and everything is working again.

Yes it is. MUCH better.

[Q] Application backup/restore.

I came from a hero running cyanogen6 I flashed many roms and nightlies while using the hero. If I remember correctly when I would factory reset to install a fresh Rom my Google account would automatically re-download the apps I had previously downloaded.
It was my understanding this was a standard feature of 2.2. But my shift does not do this.
So my question is "what is up?"
was this just a feature of cm6?
Is my phone the only one that doesn't do this?
Somebody set me straight on this issue, as it makes switching roms much more work.

Htc took it out. It's a feature of aosp 2.2 and above.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Well that was an easy answer.
So if I use an asop Rom it should auto download?

Yeah but probably not to what you were on your past aosp rom, but maybe what you got now.

Depends on the gapps ver.
On my heroc I kept two sets of gapps, one full and one tiny. They restored entirely different sets of apps everyime I flashed (for some reason, I just picked one randomly every day for about 3 1/2 months, loved aospMod.)

All I know is this worked when I came from the semi stock rom that I was using as my daily driver.

The only Shift ROM I've experianced this on is Evervolv. I believe CM7 should do this too but it's either not implemented for the Shift yet or not working.

Blandroid on N1

I just noticed, blandroid rom on the rom manager menu, has anyone tried it on N1? I'm using cm7 Rc4 and I know you'll all say stick with it, but I'm still curious.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

I noticed it a couple of weeks ago. It says it's a stable 2.3.3 with no bloatware. Sounds very intriguing...in fact so much so that I downloaded it, but have yet to flash it...lol.

Certainly tempting isn't it, is this a case of who goes first lmao, out of interest how big is it? I notice the cm7s are just over 80 mb.

Seems like a plain stock ROM, nice to see to be honest.

Noticed the same thing, but was wondering what all it supports, site doesn't say much. I.E. what kernel it has/supports, TB alert stuff like that.
Hopefully the dev comes and explains what all he's done.

Well, I flashed it, for like an hour then when back to cm7 using the recovery I made.
First thing, market didn't work.
Secondly it didn't have the extra apps cm7 has, which I expected, but I instantly missed theme chooser.
Thirdly it wiped my contacts list.

First. The market issue is probably a wipe issue as I had the same problem with two different MIUI GB ROMs.
Secondly. That would be the lack of bloatware mentioned above. It's like stock android, so not sure why you even flashed it if you wanted bloatware.
Thirdly. It didn't wipe your contact list you didn't sync with google, becaue all of your contacts are backed up there.

You know what, I knew that'd be the replies I got, to be honest I'm curious of any rom that 1might increase battery life, currently using 85% over 10hours!! And of course the dreaded wonk which is seemingly inherent with cm7.
I couldn't force Google to sync with my phone, all my contacts are stored with Google you're right there.
Btw how would I get the market back?

Blandroid 2.3.4p0 works pretty good. Just curious about this app hidden in the list written in Chinese ...

I think it is another keyboard app. When you go to change the keyboard, it lists something in all Asian symbols.
I just deleted it and I have not noticed any difference with how blandroid runs.

The wonk was almost fixed on latest release of cm7. If you don't have the latest version, try it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

Nearly fixed isn't fixed. The problem is really dragging out and these stock ROMs are showing that its fixed with them. Wonking isn't the only issue at the moment either. There is still problems with the sound levels after docking the phone sometimes where its maximum level is halved etc.
CM is an ace project and I truly respect the guys and their efforts behind it, but CM7 is very buggy, and when it starts to affect the ability to take calls its hard to use it.

Oh! Thx for the reply. I got scared and ran back to cm7

Give E-xtrememod 2.0 a try, been on it since yesterday and no probs so far, looks nice too!

I dropped cm7 for this rom. Great battery life no wonking - no more cm7 for me

What sort of battery life do you get and is there good support from the Dev?
I could go for no wonk
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

I like!
Went for this until the CM stable kills the wonk; now I may not go back. I haven't used it for long enough to know about stability. I think of it as pure AOSP, but already rooted (and a just a few essential CM goodies).

So far, I haven't found anything missing I need.
And if you want a bit more eye candy and customization, just install launcher pro or adw.launcher from the market.
I give it thumbs-up!

ICS: new version of SWYPE is available

All SWYPE keyboard users, a new version is available for ICS. Nuance has purchase them so it has incorporated DragonGO into SWYPE. It allows for dictation.
You'll have to be a Beta user to get it.

This version of Swype is WAYYY better than the stock one that came with the phone.

Well the stock is outdated

My only complaint with swype (which is a very small complaint) is i wish there were downloadable themes like go keyboard ect.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Thanks for the update. Using it now and all is great. Love swype. Now they just need to make a tablet version, i.e. one that has split keys....Not sure how that would work with swype....hmm

There is your themed Swype

I got the Swype notification update the other day on two phones but the download stayed on 0% the whole time even with a solid signal.
I haven't been prompted since for an update, can someone post the version number of the latest update so I can compare?

I tried it out with build 16 of the branch that will be CM9 installed... worked quite well, just didnt' care of the little keyboard that comes up in the notification area. Didn't have a chance to research what it was about as I had to swap back to an old rom for a while. But I definitely make sure I install swype on any rom I install.

Yeah, whenever I get a notification, I'm never able to actually update through the preferences.
Like the other person said, uninstalling and going through Swype Installer again always works.

DragonGO!
I just love SWYPE, it's something iPhone don't have and they envy Android users. "Hey, how can you text so fast". I said, "chicken plucking is soooo typewriter days"
Anyone tryout DragonGO!, it's not that bad of an Apps.

Swype work for me in ICS Passion V13 without any problem, the bad think is the process of installing this new version, is very tedious.
anyway, another thing i could seen is that swype can retrieve any data swiped in your phone, says, password, credit card number, and other data. I cannot afford that.
I use my regular Keyboard. Swype is a very good keyboard!

Darkside Sense and Genius button?

I'm tearing my hair out here... Maybe someone can fill in the blanks for me.
I recently switched to this rom as suggested by a user of this forum. Fantastic Rom, and I regret stating on stock for long.
However, the lack of a genius button is almost a deal breaker for me as I use it to text while driving - I just hit the button and connect it to my stereo.
In my attempts to add the functionality back in (which according to another thread here is possible), I'm having no luck, but plenty of fc's.
To be honest, I know enough to root a phone and flash a Rom, but this one is a little rough for me, so I admit I took the lazy approach...
First I found a zip file for the app, but it just fc'd even after fixing permissions and rebooting.
Second I tried adb to push the files to their app appropriate locations, but I can't figure the damn program out.
I finally settled on using es explorer to move the files from my sd. I fixed permissions with rom manager and rebooted, and it still fc's.
Any ideas? Bad download? Am I missing a related app that is tightly integrated with this one?
I suppose I could try restoring the stock rom, backup the genius app, flash darkside and then restore the genius backup, but that's a pain...

Hmm, I never tried putting the genius app sense 3.5. You used the Genius app for GB, right? There is one for Froyo and one for GB. I know that the apk HAS to be a system app or its FC city.

I believe it is the GB app, but since the first link I tried was dead, It's possible I pulled the wrong one while searching for the file elsewhere. I'll check that.
The two apk files are in system/app, and the two so files are in system/lib as per instructions given in a thread.

Just a thought...
I'm no expert at this, but if I have a copy of stock TMO GB on my computer, is it possible to just unzip the folder and pull the 4 required files from it?

Here is a couple of zips I have on my computer at home that may be what you are looking for. I think 1 of them is for froyo and the other for GB, but im not sure.

Mapped the button and it works like a charm!
Now I have a great rom and have all the apps I need for my daily use.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this. Much appreciated.

Awesome. You were probably using the Froyo app.
