i would like to install the latest version of swype using my swype beta account. i installed the swype installer and removed (and backed up just incase) these:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/app/Swype.odex
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
/data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod
but the installer still thinks theres a version of swype installed so it still fails. what else could there be?
I used to have that problem, try rebooting and make sure the com.swipe is also removed.

I had in stall swipe & got the same issue that it failed & need to be reinstalled. I removed it & didn't reinstall the app. I notice there were the keyboard selection under setting, locale & text. In the input selection i was able to select swipe & it worked for me. Dont know if this will help those that are using swipe.
Thank for the showing how to delete file
any idea on how to go about getting the swype official back? i think i like it better than beta 3.0
well, if you backed up the files rather than deleting them, then just place them where they where.
I did, but there are several swype files in many different folders

well theres only a folder and three files, two files if your on a deodexed rom.
I remember 5 files, but I have no idea where they go!
I assume if I just reinstall a full version of whichever room I choose that I'll have swype official again? Or if I flash back to stock?

i used System app remover, backed up the original the app does it if you want too, then i just installed Swype 3.0
Followed this to install 3.25 beta on Mikey's S7 ROM... worked like charm.
Thanks!

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.

Swyped From My Work Of Art
What about swype themes
I can now swype ..but i can't apply swype themes
I tried going to swypes website and entering the beta and download swype through the swype downloader app but when i go to enable it it just keeps FC'ing. I also tried pushing swype.apk to /system/app but also get constant FC's. Anyone know how to get swype working on CM7? Thanks.
You have to freeze the original swype that came with the phone by using titanium backup. once you do that then you can install the swype beta

I had this same thing happening just a couple of days ago. Once I got beta 3 installed.. it just kept FCing. I had to remove it, do the wipes of cache, reinstall... it then stopped. I uninstalled it via titanimumbackup
keep the installer on there.. but remove the beta via titanium backup.. I froze, then hit delete.. remove it. Rebooted into cwm, did the wipes. Then went into the installer app.. and reloaded it.
Hi.
Ok, so check this out. Every time I flash a new ROM, I need to go into the MARKET and install all my apps (i don't use many, so it's not that time-consuming).
One day, I installed this GO LAUNCHER. When I flashed my rom again, in some magical way, all my apps were downloaded and installed (NOT restored, but re-installed fresh).
I do not know how the Go Launcher did this, since this happens before I even to to the market and install it after a fresh rom. Magic!
In any case, this stopped happening for some reason when I did my last flash (Weapon).
My question is - is there an APP that does this?
Again, i do NOT wish to RESTORE my apps. I wish for the MARKET to download all the apps was using (FRESH install them).
Is there a way to do this without GO Launcher?
Thanks
Whats supposed to happen is that Android is supposed to automatically download and reinstall your apps. The problem is that it doesn't always work. In fact, it has never worked correctly. Its really a hit or miss.
I think the reason is because everytime you do a fresh install of Android, it includes an old version (usually 2 or 3 versions back) of the Android Market. So the first thing it does is upgrade Market and I believe that is where it messes up with the restoring of apps.
ICS has supposedly fixed this issue.

THANK YOU!!!
Best way I've found is to make a backup of whatever rom you are on with all your apps and do a selective restore for the Data only from cwm, should put everything back including your google account.
I've done it many times between roms and have had no noticeable issues, but I can't guarantee you won't.
I haven't checked with a fresh rom install but i believe titanium can now push the updated version of software into the rom.
Meaning on your list you would see two listings of gmail.. The old and then the updated. If you pushed them into the rom and did a nandroid i wonder if the newer version of the app stays.

I searched before asking this question without any luck. I have downloaded the valhalla ROM on my Galaxy s 4g and noticed i no longer have swype and can't use multiscreen live wallpaper. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

If you want Swype you have 2 options. You can either download Swype Beta (from Swype website) or you could take Swype from the Octane ROM.
I personally use the stock Swype from Octane. To get it you need to download Octane.
1) From Octane ROM, copy /system/lib/libSwypeCore.3.25.91.32328.so
2) Copy it to your /system/lib in Valhalla
3) From Octane ROM, copy /system/app/Swype.apk
4) Copy it to /system/app in Valhalla
Do 3&4 for SwypeTip-release.apk
here's the Stock Swype from 236
unrar, place the files on your mSD, then push the 2 apk's to your system>apps folder, and push the .so file to your system>lib folder and reboot = viola

Personally I prefer the beta version. Seems much faster and more responsive to me. Just my 2 cents.

That's been my take on it as well... and the DNS speech to text generally works better as well than the stock Google one in older versions of Swype.
+1 for beta version
Beta all the way!
thanks for this thread I was sad when I lost swype. but now i have it again.
You know, at first I tried stock swype from a previous ROM, didn't work, however I can see that I forgot to copy the .so file. I couldn't use swype as I got a force close every time I tried to activate it or use it.
Anyway, I deleted the apk from apps and proceeded to download swype from website. I did, and installed correctly, however, after that, I just got fc like I had with the above method. so.. what's the deal? Maybe it has something to do with permissions?
edit: it was indeed a "fix permission" that was needed. Everything is working OK now.
I flashed valhalla final a few weeks ago and installed the ics Swype on the forums. But everytime i reboot the phone, it goes back to Samsung keyboard and i have to enable Swype again everytime. I just want the original Swype that was installed on the phone so i can get rid of this problem.how do i reinstall the old Swype? I don't want the beta either, just the stock one

I have used swype for a long time and have replaced it many times.
You have to make sure that you have removed ALL "references" of swype from your phone or it will not install. Including any backups you may have in Titanium Backup.
What I always do is delete my Titanium Backup backups. Then in Titanium Backup settings> more > Clean up the Dalvik Cache, I clean the Dalvik Cache. After that I reboot my phone. Then I install swype (I send myself a new email invite from the swype beta website) without any issues. It works EVERY TIME.
I think stock Swype needs a library in /system/lib, something like libSwypeCore.3.25.91.32328.so (maybe wrong with the version). See if you have it or what the version is.
I only pushed the swype.apk into the system apps, nothing else. How do I get the library?

Stock rom has that lib I believe for stock swype u also need swype tips apk or something like that

no camera, no power button but at least I got miui lol
Erik and Antonx are both right. From stock KJ6 debloated by raver, you need to pull from /system/lib libSwypeCore.3.25.91.32328.so and push it to the same directory on yur phone. Then pull swype.apk and SwypeTip-release.apk in /system/app and push them tothe same directory. Do not try to install them by selecting them or whatnot as it will fail.
