I have tried to get rid of the stock swype and install the swype beta. I tried to uninstall it and it is a system app. I tried bloater. I tried to simply delete the app. I thought I had gotten rid of it but the beta wouldn't install.
I am using a stock rom that is rooted and I have ROM Manager installed with the latest 5027 recovery.
I have played with other rom's and can install the beta with no problem.
Any ideas on how to do this?
Thanks.
Download titanium backup and delete it through that app. If you need help ask

I had tried that before. I first tried the "trick" way of getting rid of the app through the recovery and that didn't work. Then I converted the app to a user app and then uninstalled it. Then I installed the Swype beta and I chose the correct keyboard but the Android keyboard popped up.
Then I restarted the phone and then installed the Swype beta and all went well. I had tried this before except that I didn't think of restarting the phone.
So, I thank you for confirming that it could be done. This is what we do. We keep trying until we break something or solve the problem.
Did you delete the swype file under system/lib try that and see if that helps.

I used Titanium to convert to a user app. Then I uninstalled it. Then I restarted the phone. Then I installed the swype beta and it works great.
I just wish that it wasn't a beta and could be bought and updated. I have tried many keyboards and always come back to swype.

Why convert first? I never do that

You have to uninstall the previous swype installer and swype itself. Then download the new one, beta 3 from the website. I got the new one to work and works wonderful.

So I know I have read how to fix this but noe I can't seem to be able to fix it. I am running the Weapon rom and I downloaded a black modded version of swype. I deleted the stock version and the .lib that went with it. I then installed the new version and it still asked me if I wanted to replace the other version...so I said yes. And it works...until I reboot and then I get process swype force close. Any ideas hoe to fix this? Thanks.

Use Titanium Backup to uninstall swype then install from apk.
Might fix it. Couldn't hurt to try a permission fix either.

Thanks. I got it working. For some reason I thought by deleting the .apk that would uninstall it. So I used root installer and them reinstalled it. And poof...works...

Try T-Swipe Pro from the Market. It blows Swype away.
Hello,
How can I get SwypeBeta (better + Dragon) in Stock Skyrocket? I followed the page steps and then I get: "Swype Beta is currently unavailable for devices that have Swype preinstalled" message.
https://beta.swype.com/android/get/:confused:
I don't believe there's a way for you to do that. If you were to root, you could uninstall it with titanium backup, restart your phone and then install it using the swype installer.

There is a really easy way to install the swype beta.
1) Use Titanium backup to uninstall swype
2) REBOOT
3) install "swype installer"
4) install swype beta
Voila
Our you could try jb's Swype themes so you can have an ics themed keyboard. There are others to choose from as well.

I personally used an app called NoBloat it has a picture of a android wielding like a ak but it pretty much allows you to uninstall an app completely (SWYPE) but it backs it up just incase you removed something you werent suppose too. I used it removed swype (deleted the backup) and installed beta.

Of course he can. If he's stock rooted, he can remove swype with Titanium.
I do it that way every time I flash a new Rom

Hi,
I'm currently an Atrix 4G user and expecting my new shiny Skyrocket to arrive soon. I had swype preinstalled on it and managed to find a way to remove the preinstalled swype using another method. I found it on the swype forum, and this is what I did. Keep in mind, you have to be rooted in order to do this. Also, make sure that in your settings, you've disabled/turned-off swype as a keyboard input and make sure it's NOT the one selected (make sure to select another input), otherwise after reboot you may get stuck.
Using Root explorer or adb shell as root:
1) remove /system/app/Swype.apk OR rename to /system/app/Swype.apk.bak
2) remove /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so OR rename to /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so.bak
3) Reboot device
4) Install swype installer and the rest should work!
Can anyone confirm if this will work on the Skyrocket?

So, I'm a proud owner of a Stock rooted Samsung Skyrocket 2.3.6. I followed my own instructions, and was able to download swype installer and install swype. I then went into settings->languages and checked the swype entry, but when I click on settings it FCs.
I tried resetting - nuthin. Any thoughts?
I have the /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so files backed up.....
So, I found this and going to give it a shot:

The new Swype Beta (June 2012) allows it to be installed alongside preinstalled versions of Swype. If you've followed the steps in the post above, then first remember to uninstall your old version of swype completely, then reboot your system, and then undo the steps listed in the post. You should have a fully functional preinstalled version of swype with the swype beta installed alongside it.
Hello, this is my first post... I hope its in the right place.. haha OK so the issue I'm having is... well first is it even possible to install/use another UI's MMS.apk? For example if I want to use maybe Motorola's MMS.apk? So I have tried (through root explorer) and it wants me to install it... so I tried but it failed.. how can I get around that and make it work?
Thanks for any help!

I'm probably wrong... change permissions on old apk to 774 then install.
Make a backup! Obviously

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried that but it still failed! And I tried using the app wonder machine app on my computer and when I tried it said something like missing shared files or missing shared library or something like that...

You don't need to install it...if you push it to system/apps and make the permissions correct you need to reboot in order for it to work. But most likely it's part of motoblur so it probably won't work.
Thanks! And that probably is part of it! Is there any way to get around it?

Use titanium backup to backup and uninstall the default app. Then put the mms.apk in system>apps. Reboot. If that doesn't work the mms app you're trying to use isn't compatible. I'm currently using the inverted aosp ics mms apk on viper rom.
Hi, I just recently rooted my phone and installed the paranoid android jellybean rom. In doing so I lost my s voice. I was just wondering if there is a way to get it back. I know I can use Google now instead but it doesn't do commands the same way s voice does.
Thanks

The app is too big for Gmail,(about 30mb) but I uploaded Svoice to my skydrive here

Plenty of keyboard choices to play around with in the play store, that's where I'd look for one. I prefer SwiftKey 3 This is a question you you might ask in the thread your Rom was downloaded from. I'd check to see what's already installed of course, Settings>Language and Input>Keyboards.
Thanks for the reply, i currently use SwiftKey but i used to have swype before i rooted my phone, do you know where i could download it? Also, I downloaded the s voice from the link you sent me but how would I install that?

If you like Swiftkey, and Swype, then you should try Swiftkey Flow

I forgot that Microsoft renames downloaded executable files to ".zip". Use a file explorer app, like ES File Explorer, navigate to the downloaded app, and rename it Svoice.apk.
Google Swype beta and register for an account and u will get the baddest Swype out my brother. Fixed. Problem solved. To me it's a thousand times better than swiftkey.

I downloaded and installed s voice from the link you gave me but whenever I try to give it a command it does not recognize it. I might just stick to Google now unless you could figure out a way to get my s voice back.
