SWYPE - Keyboard

Does any one have a working copy of SWYPE the official SWYPE keyboard that works? I have used almost everyversion on xda but they install fine, but when I click on a TEXT box to start typing it FC.
or even the GingerBread Keyboard would be great. One that works with an easy install....
thanks

You tried signing up for their official beta? I'm using it now and it's working perfectly.

how do i sign up for their beta? where do i go?

http://beta.swype.com

i havent dl'ed it yet... the stock sense kb is not to bad

Did you know that the new keyboard has a slide-option too? Maybe you could try that one first.

Nevermind. got the swype beta installed. I love swype, fastest keyboard ever.
Thanks everyone

The stock keyboards "trace" feature as its called is trash compared to Swype..I tried the stock one and didn't like it very much so I installed Swype. 100 times better.

I downloaded it now and works fine.

I got Swype but when it downloaded the keyboard does not fill the screen. There is a gap on the right. Is anyone else having this problem?

No, the issue might be if you have your lcd density set lower, it might not scale correctly.

Shoot me a PM if you decide you don't want to use the beta.

Swype is fantastic, but new beta swype don't have a Croatian language

Ummmm i think anyone can sign up now, no limits

This is how y'all can get swype 3.7 (not beta) working:
1. Download this rom and extract it .
2. Open extracted folder and navigate to System / app / and copy the Swype_3.7.apk to the root of your sdcard.
3. Open extracted folder and navigate to System / lib / and copy the libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so to the root of your sdcard.
4. Open Root Explorer / System / Build.prop and edit "ro.product.brand=htc_wwe" to "ro.product.brand=tmobile" (Dont forget to Mount R/W to do this). Reboot.
5. Open Root Explorer / sdcard / and copy both files (Swype_3.7.apk and libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so) to System Folder. "Don't put them into the app and lib folder yet" and also Dont forget to Mount R/W to do this).
6. Long Press your Swype_3.7.apk / Select Permissions / Changes to rw-r--r--
7. Long Press your libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so / Select Permissions / Changes to rw-r--r--
8.Move file ( Swype_3.7.apk )to /system/app
9.Move file ( libSwypeCore.3.7.85.27287.so ) to System / lib
10. Reboot
Enjoy!!!

Don't think the above method is legal

[Bootanimation] Google Gears

Simple as that.
Goes for HTC EVO 3D too, as well as any 540×960 android phone.
Animation ported from "Google齿轮" MIUI theme.
Make it:
/system/customize/resource/bootanimation.zip, or
/system/customize/resource/TMOUS_bootanimation.zip, if you have a T-Mobile Sensation, or
/system/customize/resource/VF_bootanimation.zip, if you have a Vodafone Sensation.

nice one.... thanks

Thanks a lot for this.
Just renamed the current bootanimation.zip file, copied this one into its place, rebooted and it's working fine.
Cheers!

Seems i can't copy the zip file to the system folder.
Got an error about "read only"!
What am i doing wrong?
(sorry about bad english, i'm dutch!)

permissions?

Yeah i think it has something to do with permissions but I don't know how I can change this.
Tried to Google it but couldn't find it.
Ps. Using ASTRO to copy the files.

Use es file explorer from market (better than astro imho). Put on root option and mount system as writable. Then you can rename original bootanimation.zip and place new as bootanimation.zip. if you don't like new one, delete bootanimation.zip and rename original to bootanimation.zip

Thanks for the info m_speksnijder, with ES Explorer it works!
New bootscreen looks great!

I think I am going mad I have flashed 4.1.7 and cant seem to find where to put the boot amimation? I thought I would have to replace one that is already there? sorry if a stupid question but if you can help it would be great
I have something caled downanimation in system/customize/resource but that is the only zip file in there, do I just to copy this file to this directory and reboot?
EDIT its ok it is in data/local if anybody else needs the file location
cheers for a great boot animation

Using ES file explorer. Put on root? Do you mean root your device? If that case, I am rooted, and all that.
But I can't find System folder :S

Open ES, hit menu button, scroll down to "root options" section, turn on both options (root explorer and mount file system), exit menu, klik on the blue star on the left in de topbar and click on the "phone" icon. Then navigate to "system/customize/resource" or "data/local" (depends on the rom your using). than follow my earlier post. If you're done, turn of the option "mount file system" just to be sure you do not delete anything when scrolling around in your system partitions.

Thx! Now, just download bootanimation/downanimation and rename the new one? Then restart the device and all done?
And what happens if I accedentaly delete something when scrolling down?

Thanks works like a charm. I change permissions just in case.

Nice work...
I like it! Clean, simple... very nice.

download ANY ROM and extract it. it is located in /system/app. Use rootexplorer to replace the file and reboot... done!

thanks but how exactly do i do that i found them in file exploer but did not know what to do from their

download any ROM to a PC,
extract the files,
hook ur phone up to the PC and drag them over to a storage area,
purchase rootexplorer from the market,
launch root explorer and grant root access,
use rootexplorer to locate the files in the storage area,
Once found do a long tap and select "copy",
go back to /system/app via RE and hit the little "mount r/w" radio button,
choose paste at the bottom...

when i try to open system app for the rom it gives me the option to oper with zip viewer apk handler text etc which one do i use

also when i press mount rw i dont see a paste option

Here you go!

wow thanks guys one last noob question, where is the thank you buttom

never mind found it

Sorry when i paste the apk into system/ app then reboot it dosnt work so when i try long pressing then install it says problem parshing package

I never had much luck extracting on the device which is why I say do it on a PC. Drop the APKs on your desktop and then transfer them to your device. The use RE to copy/paste them in /system/app.

i downloaded the apk mms and tw launcher from a previous post and it still didnt work

when i paste the in system app it shows the name but no icon and they just stay at the top also when i reboot their is no change

and you are using rootexplorer, not some other program? at the top does it say "mount r/w" or "mount r/o"?

i press the button so it says rw then the other option comes up. when i paste the apk it shows up but no icon and when i reboot nothing.

im in rw mode when i paste mms.apk it shows up at the top but it dosnt have the icon then when i reboot no changes are made

Hi im new to the site and am having a issue and looking for help i recently upgraded my infuse to gingerbread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508619 ) and jow my sd card isnt rexonized on phone but shows up on computer when taken out....maybe a noob question and if so sorry i searched the forums and couldnt find anything
thanks for any and all help

You need to open root explorer or open rom up with 7zip or winrar on computer and go to system/etc scroll all the way to the bottom and open up the volds. fstab file with text editor and scroll to the bottom of the page to the very last line and change the end of the last line from mmc1 to mmc2.. make sure if you open in root explorer you mount system to r/w before making the edit. Then save and close, then reboot. That will solve your issue.

Root Explorer comes in VERY handy. One of the big 3 (Titanium Backup & Rom Manager being the other 2).

Get a custom android version!

In this forum I am gonna tell you how to get a custom android version.
( This Mod does not give your device the features of the version you'll make it to.
example - You have version of 2.3.5 and You changed it to 4.0.4. So don't dream that it will give you ICS in your device. It is just for the appearance and fooling your friendz that u have ICS! )
This mod has been tested on Micromax Superfone 4.0 A87
I have a Micromax A87 with a android version of 7.7.10!....
Tools required -
Rooted device
Root explorer
ES file explorer
and most important your brain... which internet cannot provide
Step-1
Download and Install RootExplorer from playstore.
Step-2
Open RootExplorer and grand it superuser permissions if asked.
Step-3
Scroll down untill you find a folder named 'system'
Open it.
Step-4
Find build.prop
Copy it by long tapping and go back and open folder named 'sdcard' ( this is your sdcard) and Paste
Step-5
Exit Root Explorer and open 'ES file Explorer' and select the build.prop you pasted earlier. Select ESnote reader when asked.
Find - "ro.build.version.release" and there will be the version number your device currently has.
In my device it was written as - "ro.build.version=2.3.5" and i changed it to - "ro.build.version=7.7.1"
Write the version which you want( as i did - "ro.build.version=7.7.1")
and save.
Step-6
Again Exit ESfile Explorer and open Root explorer
Step-7
Goto sdcard and copy the build.prop
Step-8
Goto System and change the Mounted as R/O to Mounted as R/W by selecting on the button succeeding it( the button is situated on the topmost area).
Step-9
Select Paste ( Left Hand corner of your screen)
Step-10
Exit Root Explorer and Reboot your Device and Its all done.
Now you have your own custom android version!
Post your Doubts related to this post and nothing else!
