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.

Hey guys. This isn't anything fancy, I found this in Nfinite's Stock ROM thread. It is the updated Market.apk that was pushed by Google to a lot of devices (except ours, unfortunately). It has the ability to auto-update Apps, and looks a lot more like the Froyo one. It also has fixed my issues with Apps not downloading or taking forever to download with the market.
Here it is! You will need to use Astro/EStrongs File Manager or install this through Android Commander.
If this doesn't work, remove the original Vending.apk from your System/App folder, rename the new Market apk to Vending.apk and push it into System/app. (Thanks Impaler)
Also, it'd be great if you stated what ROM you use and which of the above installation methods you used, just so people have an idea of what might work better. For instance;
I used this with NFinite's Latest Stock ROM, using EStrongs File Explorer to Install.
Download
This is great! Testing now. I'm sick of all these bugs with the market. I didn't think it was going to get any better until I upgraded to something new this March. Thanks!

It works perfectly! Thanks for this update.
Did install but it wouldn't install. Used astro and estrong.
Running fresh 2.4
It tells no reaaon.
Any way?

You need to first get rid of your market by uninstalling with titanium or through adb, and then reboot and install this one
Just a clarification, do you simply remove Vending.apk or MarketUpdater.apk as well?

Both This app should replace both when you install
Thanks! Seems to work just fine by simply pushing the new apk into system/app. I did rename it to Vending.apk to remove the space and resigned it, just to make sure.

Great to hear
i just figured i'd post this for people using the same rom as mine. I'm using blue echo which is a themed fresh rom. Unininstall market(vending.apk) and marketupdater.apk via titanium back up and reboot. Place app in tools directory of your sdk folder. Rename market apk to vending.apk.
Change directory to android sdk tools directory via adb. code is as follows:
adb remount
adb push vending.apk /system/app
That's all you need to do.
I can't thank you enough for this.
I was able to pull the Vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk via adb, rebooted, then pushed the new Market27.apk file into the phone, renaming it Vending.apk and now it works.
My problems were three-fold:
A) If I let market update itself, I couldn't even open the new version. I'd get force close when trying to open.
B) If I uninstalled the update, I could still access the market and attempt to download, but it'd force close when it got to the install portion of the app
C) I could restore to a NAND Backup point when market worked, but within a day of doing so, it'd auto-update and I'd lose any progress I had made!
This has fixed everything. I've been trying for weeks to remedy this so thank you very much.
I'm rooted and running Fresh ROM 2.4 by the way.

hope you check this, I have an unrelated (sorta) question. I used your red swype for ages and loved it, but I found a bug in one of the numer modes in a loan calc app. I know it's not cool to post the apk (I have it anyway), but I do have the official beta 2.17 somthing, was wondering if you still had the red swype metamorph, also, I assume you theme the market in red, which would make my day, could you either pm me a how to (I have froyo), or post the themed market 2.2.7 in themes and apps, which hopefully works in froyo? Thanks again.
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
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?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
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.

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 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.
