Swype trial ended [Solved]

so before I went to bed, I was using Swype fine, no problems with it.
I woke up this morning and tried to reply to a text, after I've Swyped the word, and error prompt pops out.
here's a picture of it.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I've done some searching on Google, there was a problem like this on HTC Eris and all 4 months back when Swype was in the Beta period, now it's pretty much final(I'm guessing?) and I've never had any problems with any other firmwares (I'm on JPK now)[then again I stayed on JPK the longest].
XDA search is down so I'm unable to search, and hence I'm sorry if this has been addressed already.
I hope the solution won't involving me reflashing. finally settled down and bam, **** happened.
Thanks.
edit1: solved.

The work around is: Using a root file explorer (I used AntTek Explorer), you'll need to rename/delete the existing Swype files in order to reinstall the newer working version. To do this, start your root-explorer and navigate to /system/app/Swype.apk, and rename it (I added .bak to the file name). Then do the same for /system/lib/libSwypecore.so
Now reboot your phone, then rerun the Swype Installer! Wallla!

Swype came with Serendipity6.4 when I flashed it... How do I manually install swype after changing the files?

[Q] reboot option in power menu

hello i5800 users
i was looking for ways to add a reboot option in the power menu but none seem compatible with i5800. AFAIK it is done by installing andoid.policy.jar but how can i do it for i5800? any ideas?
p.s. something like "Hot Reboot" would also be very useful.
thanks in advance

If you have a rooted phone then you can use switch pro widget to reboot. Another free alternate is to use widgetsoid2.x
Just add widget to reboot.

my point was i don't want no widgets. i just want to have an option for reboot when i press the power button

Just use AnReboot from the Market, giving you the option to boot into Recovery Mode,as well.

Its not about the ROM, I think it can be done by modifying some .jar files or some .xml files.

You can't edit the .jar or XML files without to deodex the rom, and it seems like nobody did that yet...

I just read yesterday what's the matter with "deodexed". Am I right it's about to geht the .odex files back to .jar files? How can that be done?
Can this be done with the "xUltimate"-Tool? I read this was working on the Galaxy Spica...

It didn't work with smali/baksmali for me, i was trying on some APK (Like the Keyboard APK of JPA, for using it on JPF).

Optimus p500 deserves a real boot animation

Can some one anyone make a animation that optimus really deserves. I mean like a rotating autobot/ decepticon insignia. Or hell even a transforming android would be awesome.
Even better if it was the 80's version and would say
"I am Optimus Prime"

I found a gif I converted to boot animation.
Its attached and Ill get the sound file added shortly having a bit of trouble getting it edited down properly.
Forgive the initial quality Im trying to get it all resized and having a issue with gimp.
But it will end up better once Im done.

Disclaimer:I am not responsible if you break,brick,hump,throw against wall or any other action to do to your phone. By using this bootanimation you agree anything that happens is your own noobtastic fault. Any attempts at blaming me for anything other than this being fantastic will result in you being pointed and laughed at.
New files uploaded.
Sized down to fit better.
Added a grey background.
If you like the while background use the one that says while in the name. Once you download it rename it to bootanimation.
Root Explorer method:
1. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation
2. Put it on your SD card
3. Open Root Explorer and copy bootanimation.zip to /system/media. This will replace the existing boot animation
4. Reboot your phone
ADB method:
1. Make sure you have downloaded android sdk
2. Put android sdk in C:\
3. Set the directory of command prompt to C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools. Click here for a video tutorial.
4. Rename your boot animation to bootanimation and put it in C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
5. Open cmd
6. Type in order:
-adb remount
-adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip
-adb reboot

3. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following commands using the stock keyboard. Press enter after each line:
su
cd /sdcard
sh bootsnd.sh
reboot
4. As the device boots up you will be greeted by the "Dolby THX" test sound heard before movies. You are now free to replace the android_audio.mp3 file in /system/media with any .mp3 file you like as long as you rename it to "android_audio.mp3"

ive tried uding the gfree method and the visionary root.sh method and nothing as soon as i reboot my phone and use the termial emulator su says permission denied.. i followed all the steps perfectly and still the same thing
any ideas y??

Are you on 2.3.4? Check by going to settings > about phone. You must be on 2.2.1 to root! Downgrade guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

yea im running 2.2.1 but it seems to never permroot it will temp and permroot will run but when rebootin the phone the su goes back to denied

Did you try visionary but if you do do that way make sure those files are inn the root of your sd
I had the same thing like you mine didn't want to root

ok by root u mean just on the sd card????

AFAIK, since SD card is mounted as VFAT, there is no support for permissions, and you won't be able to run executables from there. Not sure though - didn't test.

in out of state so i dont have my camera only my webcam and its hard to make a vid with it but the gfree and hboot files wont copy to the /data/local file when i paste it, a pop up will a pear and have 2 loading pars only 1 will fill in and the other will stay blank and then the pop up will self close and files wont show that it copied.. an di was told that it could b ran frm sd card should i try to run it from a different folder on my interal memory???

also, the root.sh method will runn but will from this location but it will not s-off or change my bootloader

Use adb to copy them.
Or use the same command prompt you're using to copy them.
cp /sdcard/gfree /data/local/
If it doesn't work:
busybox cp /sdcard/gfree /data/local/
If it doesn't work:
cat /sdcard/gfree > /data/local/gfree
After that:
chmod 777 /data/local/gfree
After that:
/data/local/gfree

thanks.. gfree was now in the /data/local/ file. but now im not gettin any of the on screen prompt
and s-on

I was running into the same problem when rooting my nephew's phone over Thanksgiving (first of over 2 dozen MT4G's I've rooted that gave me problems like this) and the method on the CM wiki page was the method that finally worked. I have done 3 more phones since using this method and all 3 took root on first attempt.
here's the link... http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Glacier:_Full_Update_Guide

i just used this method with adb:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF

Download and copy gfree again. Looks like the file is incorrect.

Rooted My Nexus 7 but cant change system files..

I'm quite new to the whole android scene .. Got a Nexus 7 couple of days ago rooted it using the tool kit:
Its now unlocked and has SuperUser installed.
However I want access to files in the system/media which I can get via Android Commander but it's saying Im not Rooted ( Meaning I cannot swap or replace any stock files on the device)
Any ideas?

Try using Root explorer or ES File explorer (enable root access in settings). Did you get a popup from SuperUser asking to grant/deny root access?

So for instance now I have enabled Root access in ES explorer How can I swap files from the tablet to the PC?

Normally, you will have placed the file(s) from the PC you want to use on the SDcard first, then you can use the file manager to access where you want, move/copy etc...
Would suggest you have a decent backup (or nandroid backup) first and if you are replacing system files, it is always a good idea to have a copy of the original so you can put it back if needed.

Well I may have found the other stored Image files for the boot, but I cant move them .. meaning i still dont have root access? I don't know it's making me rage.
