Any way to get Swype without rooting?
Sideload with the HTC Sync from July (not the one thats available now). Search around and you will find it.
You could also just enable USB debugging mode on the phone and use the "adb install nameofswypefile.apk" command through the android sdk

i juss use SlideIT from the market i think its better then Swype
I installed swype using the "Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine" and it was a no brainer, and I am a total noob to all of this. Just google the name I typed in quotes. No need to fool with sdk.
so how do u install swype with a rooted aria?
i rooted last night, but have no idea how to install 3rd party apps or delete the at&t crapware.
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
Does anyone have the exact method for installing Swype Beta on a stock based Rom (i.e. Iced Glacier)? I can't get it to install correctly at all.

But without further chit chat here's what I did:
Using Super Manager I:
1) Mounted the system as r/w.
2) Went into System» App» Deleted the swype.apk
3) went into System»lib» deleted the libswype file
4) Then followed normal install procedures as laid out in Swype Beta using the Swype Installer you receive when signing up for their beta.
It should be noted as with any system file you may or may not need later that its always smart to back up the stock Swype files for future restoring if needed.

yes, I currently running cyanogen I pulled the following from stock, or evil roms..
you ll need two files....
system/app/swype.apk
system/lib/libswypecore.so
Anytime I updated from cyanogen, I would still have swype but received the for close error, until I pulled the libswpecore
hope that helps
edit....think you want to download it from the swype site, enroll in the beta program and you should be good to go, may have to remove the above files to get the beta though
I got it figured out. I'm already enrolled in swype beta, thanks though. The question was how do I install swype beta on a stock based rom, Iced Glacier in this case, in which Swype is a system app(protected if you will). I got it figured out though. If anyone uses swype beta then they know that its much sexier than the stock Swype included lol. But without further chit chat here's what I did:

My lib was named libSwypeCore.so not libswype.so. Although that may be because I had / mounted rw but didn't actually delete the files first.
This was really terrifying. Swype is what makes the difference between me needing a phone with a keyboard or not. I find the poke&peck keyboards absolutely unusable.
But I was very envious of the mic button built into the keyboard because I've also found the voice recognition to be shockingly good. Historically I've found voice recognition software to be about 30% accurate and generally produced results one would expect from a slightly retarded monkey.
But I digress. These instructions worked perfectly and the new Swype is even cooler than the stock one.
Swype is an application I would pay a significant amount of money for. But free works too!
Glad to help man

And I hate the white keyboard swype is skinned with from the stock apk.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
i did this on my stock rom, and swype basically deactivates itself after the phone is rebooted. swype keyboard will come up, and peck-typing works, but the swyping function is disabled. i've seen this before when playing with swype hacks. it means it's not licensed properly. i removed swype.apk and libswypecore.so manually before doing this.
is yalls swyping functions still working properly after a phone reboot?
I have to select the android keyboard then reselect the swype keyboard on every reboot. I find this is necessary on sense based roms mostly.
Sent from my glacier using XDA Premium App
So is there any way to get the beta version to properly recognize its license, so you don't have to manually switch away from, and then back to, the beta Swype keyboard after each reboot to get it to work correctly?
Like maybe there's some type of an auto-script that could be written to run on each boot that would select the stock keyboard and then re-select the Swype beta keyboard?
I thought swype comes preinstalled?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
The beta version has the microphone button on the keyboard, which is why I want to use that one instead of the pre-installed one...
I absolutely and utterly hate the new market, but it does not matter what I do, or how many times I remove this absolutely pathetic and useless application from my phone, the next time I go to the market it is back to the crappy 3.1.5 or whatever it is called. It is slow unreliable in correctly finding what you are looking for and constantly downloading the incorrectly signed files for my phone.
Whatever happened to freedom of choice, that google is forcing us to use the latest market, even though it does not work correctly on our phones, what was wrong with the old 2.whatever,it worked far better for me. I want my right to choose back, the right to run the 2.whatever market on my phone.
Freezing the market updater seems to be working for me so far. (Touch wood )
I don't even have a market updater on my phone, removed it long ago.
Maybe a fresh install of gapps, then freeze the updater.

The right to choose
I'm not using a custom rom I'm using a stock froyo 2.34.421.2. I didn't have this problem, till google decided to force everyone to use there crappy 3.whatever. Progress for the sake of progress alone is not progress at all. Whatever happened to the right to choose, do we no-longer have rights? I WANT MY RIGHT OF CHOICE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Resolved new market
You can see how i resolve problem

If don't have market updater on your phone i'm not sure why it would still be going back to 3.1.5. I use ADB to disable mine, this is what I typed in.
C:\>
C:\>cd android\platform-tools
C:\android\platform-tools>adb shell
# pm disable com.android.vending.updater
pm disable com.android.vending.updater
Package com.android.vending.updater new state: disabled

The right to choose
Thank you all for your fantastic help, but WE STILL NEED THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE FROM GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pardon me but what kind of messed up device gives you a root shell right away?
Hey all,
I'm coming from the Samsung Epic 4G touch ..... thankfully off sprint ......... that was a horrible 4 years of abysmal coverage .. slow speeds when it would connect .. and random disconnects thrown in just for fun....
I'm pulling crazy fast speeds everywhere I go ... Hit 50Mbps this morning on my commute..
However, one thing I liked about my samsung was that there was an APK to bypass the exchange security pin ...
Anybody know if the Epic 4g Touch (Sprint version of SGS2) APK will work on the G2? or if there is a version out there that will accomplish this ?
I saw one for the GS4 ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355654
Didn't know if this would work on the LG G2 ...
Thanks in advance!!!!
Thanks guys!!!!
Are you rooted? Do you have twrp installed? If so try it and give us a yay or nay. It's not that difficult.

Awesome!!! I hope you get it ... It's a pain in the ass to have to password unlock my phone everytime the screen goes off
I would also love this email bypass apk
Here is an Xposed module designed for the G2 that bypasses the Exchange password policy. Use at your own risk.
anybody got this to work?

When I try to install, it just says "Application not installed" and doesn't do anything .... I don't know if I need to put it in a special folder or something for xposed to see it ...... I don't know what to do
any ideas or is there a different way to install this APK ?
Try saving the apk then using solid Explorer or the built in file manager to find and install it. Installing from the notification shade doesn't seem to work

This is how I did it.. file explorer ... install
It just then goes to a screen that says not installed and your only option is to exit.
Xposed doesn't seem to know anything about this file.
Make sure to go to settings, security, and select install all apps or similar option

Solution
I just did this on my own before seeing your post- hopefully you will find this useful.
I used this set of APKs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965468
Grab Email-JB.apk and Exchange2.apk
First, you need to completely uninstall (not just freeze) the LG Email app. I used Titanium Back to do this- make a backup of the app first in case you ever wanted to go back for whatever reason. Once the LG Email app is uninstalled, you can install the 2 AOSP APKs.
I didn't try installing them normally (download->open->install), it's worth a shot- instead I used the directions in the post to push the APKs via ADB.
You should see "Success" after pushing both via ADB (I did Exchange2.apk first, but I can't imagine it would matter). Unplug your phone, open Email, and you're set. My Email is syncing perfectly with my corporate email, no lock screen password required.

YES!!!!!!!!!! This totally works..
Thank you for looking out, and thanks for posting this ... I've been waiting to be able to add this .. and having to carry 2 phones to check email because I didnt want to be pinlocked on my G2!!
My procedure -
Rom tool box free for the uninstall, the titanium way didnt work for me because I have TWRP installed .. and when it would try the recovery removal .. it would boot to TWRP instead of the stock recovery ...
Anyways, Rom Toolbox free has an uninstall utility, couldnt be easier .. uninstalls without a reboot needed.
Turned on wireless storage, copied over exchange2.apk and Email-jb.apk and installed through android .. didnt use the ADB method .... it works perfectly!!!!!!
Thanks again.
That works. Only downside is it removed the feature of peak and off peak for message retrieval. oh well.

Tried this several ways, but it does not install. Can u give some more direction on this? Do we put itf in the apps folders? Flash it? Any advice would be appreciated. I like the lg email app and don't want to go back to the stock one if possible.
if someone figures out how to do this with the stock email app that comes with the att version, that would be awesome. I like that version better than the one you have to install to get this to work.
I really hate having to use a pin, but I have to give my work permission to remote wipe my phone. Is there any chance this could be flagged by my employer and they remote wipe my phone? That would really suck because of the lack of memory card. Anybody that has been remote wiped, did it affect the entire phone, or just the main system?
