Hello all,
I have been reading through a lot of threads trying to research over and over and figure out my issue. I am running the Huawei Ascend M860 with CM7 and can not get the swype beta to open correctly. Everytime it force closes and can not get it to work. Tried to reboot and tried to format sd card and still nothing so I am lost as to how to get this to work, I really enjoy the swype on the phone and I am trying to figure out how to get it correctly working. Being as I cant pull it from my old rom without going through everything again I imagine. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
I actually tried some other keyboards like SlideIT, ultra keyboard, better keyboard 8 and Gokeyboard and all of them give me the force close when I actually try to use them. Any help on this issue so I can change from the stock keyboard to swype would be helpful. Thanks
Make sure you have swype and the swype installer deleted off your phone and reformists the installer then swype. If that doesn't work, try a COMPLETE wipe

im thinking of going back to JG1 to fix my problem with the phone sleeping. but i really love my swype, if i back it up can i reinstall it? or is there a way to just install the swype manually? so that i can have working swype on JG1?
yep just take the .apk and install it with root explorer or another like app. like astro or whatever. you can search for the apk on the this forum section i believe.
edit: by the way dont forget to go to settings, language & keyboard, and turn on swype and turn off android keyboard.

Yup wht the guy said above. Wrong section btw.
If ur unfamiliar with the process of pulling the apk from ur phone/pushing it back, u can use scripts u can find on the forums that will do the job for u. For eg, check my signature "Backup manager", i barely spent time on it but it gets the job done.
http://beta.swype.com/
Register and follow instructions is what they promised.
Then figure out why it doesn't work for an hour...
.
I backed up using titanium backup.
Uninstalled previous swype apk as requested That's when trouble started.
Getting dreaded license isn't valid...
Your version of swype will have limited functionality. Aka it won't swype, but typing each key works...ugh
Ok screw it who needs the new swype? I'll just use titanium backup and restore the old swype. Nope
it just hangs, never restoring it.
Ok google is my friend...
My work around
1.You'll need root explorer or super manager(free) works for boot animations, control permissions for system files.
2.Remove inputmethod.swype.apk in system/app
3.remove libswypeso (I deleted it so going off a tired mind). From system/lib
4.Run swype installer
5.download and install swype
6. generare license login and finish
The files in system/app and system/lib are the key, otherwise the license will fail...
I run android 2.2,
mikfroyo 4.6.2
I noticed in the details of super manager it says android 2.3 is required for this datebook, I guess not, also the reason why it fails to verify, and why it took so long to figure out.
I hope this helps at least one person out.

What about swype themes
I can now swype ..but i can't apply swype themes
Hi,
I recently switched over to HyperSensation v 1.5, works very well so far. After some days I experienced the (already known) keyboard freeze bug (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21036318&postcount=2851). Users in the ROM thread suggest to disable predective typing completely or install the LatinIME.apk via adb push.
As I wanted to use predictive typing, I installed the apk but the keyboard still freezes all the time.
Can I somehow verify that I've installed the apk correctly via adb? I'm pretty sure I've done it right but I want to check it if possible.
Anybody else experiencing the same problems?
Bumping. :/
Again.

I used root explorer to search for swype. Then I deleted everything.
Then go here and register, https://beta.swype.com/
Then just follow their instructions (takes about 5 mins.)

I'm running this swype beta from swype.com as well on Zeus 5.2 rooted. I find the beta swype much nicer and better performing than the one that comes installed by samsung. Even if I was going back to stock, I would probably use TiBackup to remove the default swype and replace it with swype beta from the website.
Working again
I went back through the thread suggested, again. Tried previously but just couldn't get Swype deleted. (still didn't get the libswype... to delete) Then installed the beta & VOILA! works again.
Thank you all for the help!
to find that file, you need a root tool like, root explorer.
When you run it, go to /systems/lib/ find libswypecore. then delete it. you may need to toggle the r/o r/w button at the top.
if you like swype, here is something you may like:

I have asked this question in the eyecandy ice cream sandwich thread but no one has said anything. evertime i try to load swype from the beta invite email it goes all the way until i hit to 'fetching swype beta download' then you pic 'swype beta' then is says "parse error, there is a problem parsing the package".
i have even loaded up sense roms and any rom i flash it always says the same thing. every time i flash a rom i run a "wipe sensation" program thengo thru the usual data wipe, cache wipe, them flash rom, then go back and wipe dalvic cache and fix permissions. same combo i have been doing for a year or so.
does anyone have any insight to this problem? I really miss not having swype.

It's not just you man. I've been trying this for days. I'm on an HTC sensation running elegancias sense 4. I have no idea what's up with it. Not having swype sucks
Did you try pushing it to system/app?
have not tried it on your ROM, but on the MIUI v4, this worked for me.
Its a flashable swype.

I was getting this error with other apks when my memory card was corrupt. Try a different memory card maybe?
This was happening for me a few days ago. Then resolved itself, however it has started again. It's not only you. A lot of people are reporting it on their forums.

Hi I am running ordroid rom and replying to this post using swipe. No problems here. Just enable it in settings. I even choose the color of my swipe. Works perfectly just like with stock. But yes, you do have to enable it first for it to work. Not sure about other Roms but I can confirm ordroid 8.6.5 is running swipe perfectly. Hope this helps.

Does not work. Someone has a working version of the installation?
Flash version worked great! Thanks!
There's nothing wrong with your phone.
It seems they forgot to upload the file on their servers; at least this is what they're saying on their forum
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.p...a-Error-Download-Failed-Password-Reset/page12
Hopefully they'll have a fix soon..

Thanks so much for the flash zip. I kept trying to download via swype installer but no luck. Flashed this and set to default input in keyboard settings and it works beautifully! Gonna keep this one for backup.

Swype error - permission problem?
Guys/Gals,
I also found another error in alogcat, that could be the issue... it says "Not granting permission android.permissions.INSTALL_PACKAGE to package com.swype.android.installer (protectionlevel=3 flags=0xae44)"
Not sure, but it may be the issue. Anybody know how to allow that permission for this app?
*edit* tried copying the installer app to system/app , but that does not do anything. I am also getting the FileNotFound exception, but that could be a problem with Swype installer in ICS...
The flashable file worked like a charm, boom... I've been having the same issue with parsing errors. I guess the dummies from Swype have not fixed the problem yet.
Thanks rolltideburr
I am trying TouchPal now (free in google play)... so far quite good (better than SlideIT). If Swype wants to scare their beta users away, they are making a good effort of it.
Here is how I got Swype back:
If any of you have a NAND backup of before you lost Swype, you can pull out com.swype.android.input (or something very similar) from the backup and extract it. Once extracted and restored (app + data), wipe cache and dalvik and go enable it in Settings --> Language and Input. BAM!!! You got Swype!!
