Working Swype fix + APK (black themed)

EDIT: After many headaches, I would recommend just using Go Keyboard. It's free from the market and theme-able.
I've tried almost all of our custom ROMs and for a lot of them Swype is not working correctly. I know not everyone uses it, but I happen to like it a lot and am always trying to get it to work. I've managed to finally figure it out thanks to BigFau, and also have a working APK for all to DL and install. This version of Swype is black themed (love it). Anyhow this is what worked for me (the Beta install did not work). Must be rooted for this.
1. Download the Swype .apk http://www.multiupload.com/MB6HBKH3D0
2. Use Root Explorer (or similar) to delete Swype.apk (system/app) and libSwypeCore (system/lib).
3. Restart device
4. Confirm Swype is uninstalled and not showing up anywhere in settings/locale and text menu.
5. Navigate to downloaded Swype apk and install.
That's it, it may update itself after installation, but has been working fine for me. Let me know if anyone runs into problems. Hit THANKS if helpful.

Screen shot? Also, which verison of swype of this is? I'm rather found of swype 3.

Yea...just force closing on me now

Worked fine in Max Q rom, now i'm on Darky's and this is not working. Sorry guys.

But now the Swype Beta works fine for me on Darky's. I think it has something to do with the ROM base. Max Q is leak-based and Darky's is JVQ-based.

for those of you where its force closing, after rebooting, reboot back to recovery and clear the dalvik cache, boot back up and then install the APK.
what do you use dman jw. as much as i love swype, i hate how they lack a feature to blacklist the random words that make no sense. is there a better keyboard?

SwiftKey X and Go Launcher, both have Swype like features. On Go Launcher you can change the keyboard background.

I tried Slide-it for a while too but I can't recommend it, it sucked. Where are the keyboard preferences in Go Launcher?

Dman, no offense but as much as you misspell you should totally learn to love Swype it could be your best friend, lol. It really does grow on you, plus it learns words as you go and you can still peck single letters when you feel the need. just saying "atcually" haha, again no offense bro.

Swype on any rooted firmware
Never had any problems adding working swype to rooted firmware
Here is my short explanation for Swype installation
for US and UK English, Francais, Francais Canadien, Italiano, Deutsch, Espanol, Portugues Europe & Brasileiro, Nederlands, Dansk, Svenska, Suomi, Polski, Cestena, Slovencina, Romana, Magyar, Русский and 4 more asian than I can not spell
0. Rooted firmware + Titanium Backup + Root Explorer (or someting) + Swype (attached txt file with link)
1. If you have some Swype preinstalled pls goto 1.1 if not goto 2.
1.1. use Titanium Backup {menu} -> Batch -> Uninstall -> Un-install all user & system app -> deselect all than select ONLY Swype and uninstall it
1.2. Use root Explorer. Go to /system/lib and delete libSwypeCore*.so If you have in /system/lib folder /armeabi than go in and also delete libSwypeCore*.so
1.3. reboot!
2. Install Swype.apk
3. Use root explorer to "extract all" swype.apk
3.1. Use root explorer to ../extracted/Swype/lib and copy folder armeabi to /system/lib (don't forget to mount it R/W). Goto /system/lib/armeabi and copy libSwypeCore*.so to /system/lib
3.2. reboot!
4. Open settings and enable Swype and desired languages
As usual, I'm not taking any responsibility of bricked phones or whatever...

Hey can we get a screenshot of the keyboad, so we know which version we are getting ito? i've tried many...

Exact swype version needed.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Fit I bought on 15th Oct 2011 and I'm from Bangalore, India. On the stock rom of my phone, I had a swype keyboard but lost it after i flashed it to other mods. I now need the exact swype keyboard. I have tried downloading a stock rom from samfirmware but I did not get the exact version of the swype that I wanted.
My mail id is [email protected], would help if you sent a mail with the answer.
Attachments show the version of swype I want. Got the pics from a youtube video.
Hoping I get this. :3

not proper language for me

[APP][Official][CWM] Sony Xperia T 4.1.2 Keyboard [JB/ICS]

Hi,
I just got the leaked Jelly Bean 4.1.2 ROM for Xperia T and extracted the keyboard, which has Swipe feature built in. And a fellow user, kristiancarl, already uploaded the Xperia S version previously, which was running fine except on where it had instant search enabled, like YouTube search, Google search, Play Store etc etc. But this new one works perfectly EVERYWHERE.
I am very new to this stuffs and in fact spent more than half an hour finding the proper libs and all, to get it working :laugh: but to me the main thing is that it's working and working damn fine :laugh:
CWM zip is attached. I am also uploading the files in a folder, kidnly place/redirect them at the right place
File download:
♦ CWM flashable zip:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7nf7q34bzlfpq2b/XperiaT_KB_JB.zip
♦ Files for Manual method:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tie67eqvtenlva7/Sony Xperia T Swipe.rar
• Installation instructions:
1- Extract the downloaded file.
2- You will get three folders.
3- The system-app folder has two files inside them. textinput-tng.apk (English language) and textinput-chn.apk (Chinese lang I guess). If you want both languages or one, just copy them/one under system/app. Make permission rw-r-r
4- The file in system-lib folder should go directly to system/libs.
5- The folder xt9 under folder system-usr needs to go under system/usr. Copy the whole xt9 folder.
6- Reboot.
Done. You will now see the Xperia™ keyboard under language, and it WILL WORK. I am using Note 2, running on 4.1.2 Odexed, and it works, so I guess it will work on all JB ROM, and maybe ICS too.
Why should you use this keyboard:
- Has predictions.
- Has auto corrections.
- Swiping feature is great, if not better than Swype.
- Different layouts.
- Custom words can be saved.
- Multiple languages.
Kindly hit thanks if you were able to get it working.
Regards.

i`m uploading a CWM flashable zip.....

Here it is....

You don't need to install anything, just moving the files will do.

Re: [APP][CWM]Sony Xperia T Keyboard with Swipe gesture (Working everywhere)
It worked great for me, but I don't like the way the gesture trail looks, and I can't see a way to turn it off, lol, so I've removed it Great share though :thumbup:

Could you add cursor arrows please if you know how?

slide trails is not changing color with theme it remains default blue

Compatible with Xperia Tipo ST21i ?

The Chinese keyboard FC every time i try to open it

This keyboard is just awesome. Thanks a lot for posting this one. You're the first. :good:

I'm using CM10 for Xperia X10 and I can't find the folders you're talking about in Astro File Manager. Also, can you please tell me how to make the permissions? I haven't done this before...
Thank you!

Hello sir, I hold no interest about CM, so can't say why the files are not there. They are there on any stock ROM.
I use Root Explorer, and there you tap and hold on a file, you'll get lot of options, one will be called 'permissions', hit it, then make the permission like the below screenshot, that's rw-r-r.

Can you make one based on the final JB 4.1.2 Xperia T firmware?

Keyboard works just fine. Love it. Skins are way better then the old ones.

Hello. You removed the whole keyboard or just the "gesture trail" picture file somehow? If so, how?
To turn the swipe thing off completely you just need to go to settings -> gesture input.

How to set default keyboard in a custom ROM?

Dears,
I'm editing a custom ROM based on Android 4.4.2 for Rockchip chipset.
The original ROM comes with a default chinese keyboard.
I removed the related apk but after flash, at 1st run, I have no keyboard until I go to input settings and I open Android's AOSP keyboard settings.
How can I set the AOSP as default keyboard in the firmware before packing it in order to have AOSP active right after flash?
Thanks a lot!

go to phone settings, then language input. there have option to select keyboard if you have a keyboard application. if you dont. then go to play store. download keyboard apps like swiftkeyboard, touchpal etc.

With the AOSP google keyboard you have a specific libkeyboard.lib file to be placed inside lib folder of system.
That is what you are missing here
