[Morph] Swype Theme / Keyboard Layouts - updated

OK, second try, (please ignore all posts up to number 17)
Here are some Swype Layouts that i collected over the past few feeks, most of them are not done by me but it is hard for me to give the right people credits cause most of the Swype threads were deleted. So please let me know if you'll find "your" png's here.
QWERTZ AND QWERTY Keyboards are modified. Currently there is no Swype Beta version out there for QWERTZ, but maybe in the future (or someone has a "modified" version already).
Compatible with all Roms and all WVGA (800x480) Swype Versions!
What you need:
- Metamorph (root, busybox...)
Instructions:
- go to data/app/ and search for com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk (or ...inputmethod-1.apk ...inputmethod-2.apk)
- move the file to system/app/ (MOVE! not Copy)
- be sure the file is called exactly com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk .. if there is a -1.apk or -2.apk rename it!
- reboot your phone! check if swype is still working properly
- copy the desired layout (the complete zip file attached, do not unzip!) to /sdcard/AndroidThemes
- open Metamorph and click Unzip/Extract new theme
- choose the desired theme
- klick Apply all
- REBOOT!
- choose swype as input method again (long click in empty input field -> input method -> swype)
- should be done now
Please report back if this works for you, this is my first Morph.
If you do not want to move your apk from data/app to system/app you might use Daneshm90 great script which pulls the swype.apk from the phone, copies the keyboard files in it, signs it and pushes it back. To get the right Keyboard files please extract them from my Morph themes (they are located in assets/keyboards) and copy them into the images folder of the script. The script backups your Swype settings and dictionary!
You can find his Script here .
Thanks Daneshm90 for the script and his kind help and Formel-LMS for his private message support!

original Style if you want to undo the changes.

Im confused, how is metamorph capable of modifying apps in /data/app ??? Those apks require resigning which metamorph doesnt do.

blah you are right, works for me cause i signed the swype apk for myself...
so cut/paste to system/app should be fine?
Thanks for the hint.. my first morph obv.

Well yea but u gotta then provide the apk which the forum frowns upon
Heres an alternative i created for another swype themer.

sorry, had a "typo" in my reply. wrote data instead of system first.
what about cut/paste from data/app to system/app and then morph. Might that work?
edit: wow, awesome script!
so can i just replace your png with mine and upload the modified script? downside is that people are loosing their dictionary and have to start from "swype-scratch"

Yes, that should theoretically work. So this is wht would need to happen:
User with swype already installed will have to backup that apk.
Uninstall swype
Push to /system/app/
Then apply ur morph
Restart phone.
Or u cud use my script where all it does is :
Pulls the apk from ur phone
Extracts it
Replaces the images with urs
Repacks it
Signs it
Uninstalls swype from ur phone
Installs this modded one

Hmm k. Didnt realize that. That should be an easy fix just gotta backup the /data/data folder for swype. K while im modifying the script, want me to change anything else ? such as more folders than assets ???

i just moved my com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk from data/app to system/app and it still works? Is this cause i have my "special" version or is an uninstall really necessary? -> edit: puh, ok.. now it is gone lol... move does not really work lol
edit: no, just assets is fine!

Hmm try restarting and see if it causes any issues, if it doesnt then try applying a morph and see if that causes any issues. If both dont then i guess ur fine

issues here lol, swype is gone hehe. trying to reinstall... confused right now a bit hehe

ok had to reinstall after moving from data to system.
can you adopt your script and implement my files (or i can do the copy/paste work for myself..)
here are my files (or morphs for system/app instead of data app)

That'll be generic, so once i just change something in my script and upload it, u just gotta place one of ur themes png's inside the pics folder and run the script.

great thanks, please let me know as soon as you are done.
thanks again for your kind help.

K so im done the script. It now backs up swype data and restores after. One thing though, it seems as though the filename convention is different for the pngs inside assets/keyboards. Im using swype 1.56.30.7625.t100 and when i replace ur pngs inside that folder it still shows default. Is it version dependent ?

Any way, heres the script. The script version u downloaded, notice in the pics folder the filenames are:
SwypeRef_LS_Blue_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Blue_Shifted_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_Jump_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_Jump_Select_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Editing_Select_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Numeric_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Standard_CapsLock_wBlue_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_LS_Standard_Shifted_wBlue_HVGA.png

SwypeRef_PT_Blue_HVGA.png

SwypeRef_PT_Editing_Jump_Select_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_PT_Editing_Select_HVGA.png

SwypeRef_PT_Standard_CapsLock_wBlue_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_PT_Standard_Shifted_wBlue_HVGA.png
SwypeRef_PT_Standard_wBlue_HVGA.png
Those seemed to work for my swype. Once again it could be version specific.

Thanks, i will try this later!
No not version depended, but you're using HVGA and my files are for WVGA
Moving from data/app/ to system/app/ works now, i forgot to reboot to check it.

I followed the steps as outlined in the first post. After that swype was gone...reinstalled it via android commander...et voila: swype is back with the HTC theme (that I wanted to try out).
Thanks for the theme!!

Confused
Hey thanks for the info. I was wondering, does the swype apk have to be a "working" one? I tried may apks and all of them were out of beta. I also tried your steps and they didn't work for me. I'm just a little confused, sorry for the dumb questions.

is this for the newest version of swype? 1.60.36.8214?

X10 Swype Theme

2. Open Root Explorer or use ADB to get to /data/app
3. In data/app find com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk, long press and move (make sure droid is set to read/write)
4. Move the apk into /system/app
5. Rename to "swype.apk" exactly like that
6. Reboot the phone
7. Install MetaMorph from the market
8. Open MetaMorph and choose Unzip/Extract
9. Find the file named SwypeBlack_blue_keys.zip
10. Choose Apply Theme after it extracts

Sent from my X10i using XDA App

for me swiftkey is much better. writing e-mails or short messages is real fun.
swiftkey is faster (after learning your own contacts etc.) and this theme here is the default theme of swiftkey.
try it... for me swype is OUT !!!

[MORPH] Notification Power Widget

This is my everyday use metamorph, that I personally tweaked to change the notification pull down icons for the notification power widget.
Description
This theme changes your pull-down icons.
This is a MetaMorph theme, so you will need to install MetaMorph from the Market and use it to apply this theme.
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE APPLYING THIS THEME!
I am not responsible for any issues this theme causes. It works perfectly fine on my Sexus, but no two phones are alike so your experience may differ.
Feel free to modify or incorporate this theme in part or whole in your own projects. I did not create any of the images as I only compiled from a different theme to customize to my own personal taste.
Instructions:
1. Download attached zip, and place it on your SD card.
2. Go into Rom Manager and reboot into Clockwork Recovery.
3. Do a Nandroid backup just in case (I have thoroughly tested this and never had problems)
4. Reboot - once up and running open Metamorph (install from market)
5. Select "unzip/extract new theme"
6. Select "framework-res.apk" last - click "Apply it!"
7. After it is finished, reboot.
8. Done, Enjoy.
Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Having it off causes NinjaMorph and MetaMorph to hang for long periods of time with the "applying" message that some of you may be experiencing.
If the extract option via metamorph gives any issues then just extract it using root explorer; use the "pick existing theme" option in metamorph and select the extracted theme folder and then select the ".xml" file. Good luck and enjoy!
Thanks to:
WatermarkD - for images
Stericson - for MetaMorph
Cyanogenmod - for being awesome
XDA - for giving us a place to colaborate

works great, thank you, but is it possible to make a version with stock icons?

Very nice. I like the icon style, keeping this thank you!

Is this working for Gingerbread 2.3.4?

Editing downloaded TW themes.

I am using a theme that I downloaded from the theme store, however I wondering if there's any way to edit the downloaded theme. For example I am wanting to keep the stock touchwiz keyboard and still have everything else themed.

I would think you find the keyboard in secsettings2 or whatever file all the system core files are in from the stock theme, copy it and replace it with the themed keyboard apk, and don't forget to set permissions to rx-rx-r? That's my best bet. @SICKMADE ? Am I close?

There's an easy way around it. If you're applying theme from theme store, all you have to do is delete theme.input files
Any app that deletes .apk files, will work.
Example*
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...roid.optimizer
Just find the .apk and delete than reboot. profit
Hit the thanks button if I helped you out ?

Yeah I did something like that, after I found the file I added a .bak extention to the end making it a backup, rebooted, and I got my stock keyboard back.

All you have to do is use a root file manager like root browser then go into your data/app folder there you will find all the apps you have installed onto your device including every individual themed apk from whatever theme you downloaded and installed from Sammy theme store... if there is something that you don't like or want from a particular theme ie. Icons or keyboard just simply scroll until you see all the apps from the theme you installed and delete which ever themed app folder that you don't want. Hope that made some sense lol.

[MOD] Theme Store- How to keep your stock icons on any theme

*Dont you hate when you like a theme but hate the icons!!! I will give you a simple guide to download the theme you want and keep your stock icons
~Keep your stock icons for any theme~
*ROOTED REQUIRED*
*Please read complete guide*
*Make sure you are not using the theme you are applying this to! Apply a different theme while your editing this file!
1. Using a file explorer, go to data/overlays/jsonfiles/userjson and find the theme you want to keep stock icons!
2. Open file and hit the edit button! Look for this line a little ways down:
"appicon":"com.cambunch.ThemeName.appicon",
and delete it! Save file and reboot!
3. Now you can go to theme store and apply that theme and have stock icons
***Also see post #10 for another simple guide thanks to @SICKMADE***
***This should work for any theme in userjson file, just follow same steps and remember to save and reboot before you apply theme!!!
***JUST HIT THANKS IF YOU THINK THIS IS FRICKIN AWESOME***
Screen shots of files and before and after:

Note 5 have to be root or not to work ??

Yes, because you will have to use a root file explorer! ES FILE Explorer etc.

Good work[emoji106] [emoji106]

Which one? Part 1 or 2?
If icons didnt stay stock, go back to the file you deleted the line and make sure it saved with that line deleted! It did that for me and when i went back and checked file, the line was still there and i re- deleted it, made sure i saved file and rebooted and it worked!

Hmmm, it works for me! Deleted that appicon line, saved then rebooted, applied theme and i have stock icons! Ive tried it on a few themes and all have worked!
Make sure that you do not have that theme currently applied! Apply another theme then go back and apply theme that you did that for!

All you have to do if you don't like any paticular part of a sammy theme is install a root file manager... I use root browser but what ever you choose as long as it uses root is fine... then once opened file manager navigate to the data/app folder. Here you will find every apk and or sammy theme that you have installed onto your device. Simply scroll down until you find the specific group of folders for which ever theme your wanting to remove a paticular part of ex. Accuweather, App Icons, etc. Once you've located the file you don't want to use with the theme anymore like the icons "themename.appicon-1" simply delete the folder and reboot and badaboom stock icons are back! I hope that made some sense lol

This is the best Thread ever !!! I always wanted this, thanks alot !!! Very Helpful

Would this mean we can transfer specific apk from one theme to another.

Yes you can.. I have just tried using a keyboard theme I like on different theme by just copy pasting corresponding lines from one to another.

This also allows you to change your icons to anything you want using the galaxy icon themer app in play store
