Cannot uninstall swype!

Hi, I have installed Swype with a signed apk, I think.
Now it won't uninstall in any way, even if I try with adb uninstall /system/app/swype.apk (it says "Failure" )
The phone is detecting it as a system app.. how to solve this?
ps. I got the phone rooted with the one click root apk.

Already tried. It says it can't find the apk file

Is it just showing in the app drawer, if so try rebooting.

No it isn't shown in the application drawer. What does this mean?

What traces are there of it and where do you see them?

It's just in the language and international tab of the settings menu, and I can select it as an input method.
It's just installed and working but I need to remove it!

Try removing it again with adb but this time from data/app.

Failure again. It's haunting me

God knows then, I'm out of ideas other than a reflash.

Oh damn somebody is gotta be kidding me as it just correctly uninstalled the package but swype is still there, up and running even after a reboot! Help me I'm not really understanding anything

The only other thing I can think of is just to browse system folders for any trace and delete it.

is yours the official one? have you tried uninstalling the installer as well?

As I already told, it's a signed apk, i bet it's been customized. Which installer are you talking about?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

yeah, so by signed, do you mean by the swype developers themselves? or you downloaded a cracked version off some other hole in the internet?
if you got it from the swype developers officially, you would have installed an installer, which will download the swype.apk, and then install it. so you would have swype installer (this is the installer i'm talking about), and swype.

Search for swype with root explorer and delete all traces...
bang delete...
gone...

Have you tried just clicking the apk again (as though you were trying to install it) and then just uninstall ?

Try shutting down the phone and remove the sd card.
Then start up the phone without the sd card, is it still showing?

I'm having the same problem. Have you got it figured out?

The SD card trick won't work. I searched for anything concerning swype with root explorer and deleted every trace of it but it's still showing up in language settings.
If I try to install a non-signed version, the installation procedure fails...
Well who cares anyway.. I'll be wiping all the phone content when 2.1 comes out

overclocking... right at end and running into a problem

So i get to the gscript point and cpoc works fine but when i go to run noreboot and oshitttt i get this message... "delete_module vision oc" failed"... I put the vision OC file on the root directory... first folder as it opens not within a folder on the SD card... so i don't get why it is not working?
Please help!
PS. I am using this video to walk me through it.

I have the same problem. I have SetCPU with custom frequencies, but it is not moving from 806MHz, even though all my profiles are set with higher values.
I have perma-root using the VISIONary process and I am able to access SU. Superuser also is set to ALLOW SetCPu, I can't find anything that can over clock it.

Just so you know I get to 6:17 in the video and that where I run into the problem.

GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i was going throgh the comments on the youtube vid and I saw someone that had the OTA version of the vision-oc-ko file and he had to rename the file name and take out all the BS number that... that file had and re name it just like vision_co.ko and it worked for him so i tried it and it worked for me!!!!!!!!!!! sweet now quandrant will run but when I try and get results it says servce call failed.. I dont have service right now so maybe that has something to do with it... i will check it out but i am happy i finally got it overclocked!!!!!!!!
Thanks to anyone that posted to help!

How can I tell if my atrix is properly rooted?

I'm a little confused guys.
I pretty much followed the instructions for part 1 and 2 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12631216&postcount=2911
I flashed my phone back to 1.2.6 then ran the before update script. Then updated, then ran the after update script. I am able to download .apk files and run them without being pestered. But I tried to run boot strap, and nothing would happen when i hit "Recovery boot". I know the gignger blur installation instructions says to make sure I'm plugged in to an AC charger so I did. Didn't work. I plugged it into my car charger. Didn't work. Tried my USB cable connected to the PC for sh*ts and giggles, but still nothing.
So I though maybe my phone isn't rooted properly? I googled a little and found this: http://androidforums.com/32282-post3.html
I installed the terminal app and ran su and it said permission denied. But I think I am able to access /data/app-private (I type in cd /data/app-private and it doesn't do anything so I assume I'm in the app-private directory, no?)
...So I guess I'm just here to ask, am I going in the right direction to check to see if my phone is rooted? Any other way of checking to see if I'm rooted correctly? I'm not exactly looking for the easy way, I'm looking for the correct way.
Any help is appreciated =)

If you are properly rooted, there will be an application called Superuser in your app tray.

I have that app, how come when I su in terminal it denies me permission?

Open up Superuser and make sure it is in your "allow" list.

When I open up superuser it only says "No apps in list" under my Apps tab. And hitting the menu button (the button with the 4 squares) does nothing whenI'm in the Apps tab.

Strange... So when you type "su" in the terminal, does it give you a pop-up to allow superuser access?

Nope, just says "Permission denied"

Try switching usb settings from none to storage then back to none, and also uncheck usb debug and recheck it. I know when I updated my phone to restore root that is what I had to do or I would get premission denied.

Still no luck, I think I might have lost root ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12685034&postcount=3303 )
How do you even loose root?

Yes, you don't have root. I was in a similar situation when I first tried the Mac version of aRoot. There was a bug in the script so I didn't actually get rooted, but it installed superuser anyway so I thought I was. Anything that requires root will simply fail.

How did you fix your problem?

[Q] have root access but SuperUser denies everything

Hello all,
I have root access (I can rename/edit files owned by root user, using ADB) but whenever I launch any app that requires root access, SuperUser denies it.
I already tried changing the settings for SuperUser from prompt to always allow and the other options. Nothing worked.
I am running 2.3.3 OTA updated.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can try to use other su managment app, find in market SuperSu and remove Superuser.

Hi my settings only allow but dont solved my problem

Go into settings>manage apps>superuser and clear data. When you open Link2SD it should ask you to allow or deny SU permissions, and obviously you should allow.

The app/log list will be empty because you cleared the data as I suggested. They're not important anyway tbh.
