[Q] Swype - Need some help since update ICS - HTC One S

Hello,
Anyway when I first got my one s I was able to install swype onto it without any problems, I like it A LOT more then the default junk on it. So last night I wanted the new tmob update, and since I had root and SU I had to do all the voodoo to unroot and relock my phone before hitting it with the RUU.
So now I got it updated and then got root and SU back, so I reinstall all my stuff onto it. I get to installing the swype beta onto it, but this time I get an error saying "error: this screen size is not supported. Check beta.swype.com/android/faq for a list of supported sizes"
Did the screen dpi get changed with the new update or did I miss something?
I think I maybe wrong, I am on 1.53.531.16 710RD which I don't think is the newest tmob. Also when I check for update it's not finding one.

The new Swype beta installer should work. Get it from the official site. They fixed that bug.

Did that this morning and got the error. I'll delete and re download to check.
Yup, same error. Can you host the install apk for me?

It is my understanding that you need to do the 3 dot menu mod before Swype thinks your screen size is OK.

No, that's not true, you do not need any mod. My One S is completely stock and swype works fine. I will try to upload the apk and PM you with it.

Thanks, I want to rule out the apk before I mess with stuff.
Must be something I did, your copy is giving a parse error.
LOL Now I see why the error, what you uploaded is only a 1kb file.

Try this one, it's the actual one...
Do not flash, just unpack and install like any other .apk
MOD EDIT: apk removed. Swype apk is not allowed to be distributed on xda.

Thanks, and it works fine. Just that was the CORE apk and not the installer, I am not going to knock it. But now when I goto type an icon in the upper left shows a keyboard, I don't recall it but whatever I can live with it.

It asks you to enable swype.
Maybe due to a bug this happens when opening certain programs and returns, also it's enabled. Make shure to check swype settings in settings -> language & Keyboard -> swype.

Yes, it worked without any issues. Just needed to turn it on in the settings unlike with the installer where it does it for you. I threw it up on my dropbox so next time if I get this issue again I got a plan.
Well about 2 mins ago it just installed the core files on it's own and synced my license number up. Neat.

I have not installed the update yet (don't feel like reflashing recovery etc.) But I get that "enable Swype" notification in the status bar (with keyboard icon) quite often.
I love Swype, but it's just a keyboard...how long does beta need to be???

WiFi Tether app Themed

I got a little bored at work today and edited the wifi tether app. For those running Cyanogen roms it will go really well. It's not 100% complete, still a few minor things I want to change and a slight off center that I need to fix but like I said, it's minor. After the holiday I'll finish it up. Hope you enjoy it, suggestions are welcome but I'm fairly new to Photoshop and GIMP so I'll do my best.
This is 2.0.5 pre 14 (the latest) and it should work with any phone that already runs it.
It doesn't want to install. After pressing install it says "Application not installed". Strange because this one (same version) installs correctly, its just not themed http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
Looks good!

That is strange, it installed on mine. Just out of curiosity, where is your current tether app installed to, /system/app or /data/app? For some reason when I tried to install it while booted (to /data/app) it did the same thing. I had to put it in my rom and reflash it, kind of the long way around. Maybe adb push and adb install would work also. If not, I'll pack it in a zip for you show you can flash it in recovery if you want.
Having the same installation problem...
Tried also with adb, seems to be an error with certificate, hoping you will make a flashable .zip
Ok, I've modified by me these app importing the themed file in the "standard" thether app, signing, and now it works.

Thanks for doing that. When I finish it and update it I'll make sure to resign it just in case. I'll DL it and update the post unless you want me to just put the link up that you have in your post.
EDIT: I just resigned mine (and renamed it), it should work now. If not use the link matiu posted.
Thanks heybobitsme, I'm new to photo editing but figured I should share what I manage to get done. If you have any suggestions, fire away.

[Fix] Fission Android Market 2.2.6 Force Close Fix

So I just found what appears to be a permanent fix for running the new android 2.2.6 market on Fission. I know others like myself were having a lot of issues with this. I'm on the 2.3.1 build of it.
Note: I have tried clearing cache, updating, etc... and haven't had a single Force Close error!
1) So I downloaded a copy of the market apk from here (I used the first alt link):
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/11/download-new-android-market-version-2-2-6-for-all-2-2-phones/
2) Then download the app ZipSigner off of the android market so we can resign the apk.
3) Open zipsigner and type in the location of the android_market.apk that you downloaded.
4) Give the output a new name like android_market-sign.apk
5) Install the new signed market file as you would any other app. It asks you about overwriting but just install it and it will "upgrade" your current app, just install it and it will be successful now.
6) Run the market normally and everything should be good!
Side Note: If you were to have any issues you can also just go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications->All, find the Market entry and click "Uninstall updates" and it takes you back to the normal 2.2.
Let me know if this works for you guys also!
Works great for me! Love it compared to the old market ..thanks for the fix. Never tried it before but its working fine now. What is the signer program for? Im curious what else it could be used for?

Edit, Nevermind.
Not workin for me. When try to install I get the "application not installed" warning.
*I installed the one i downloaded though. Seems to work fine...for now.
Thanks ... you know, sometimes it's amazing what you (I) can actually do if you only follow directions.. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thanks!!!
Sure it is going to help many users
If it does work over time I will post it on FRM.
I swore I signed it and it gave me FCs after a few reboots so maybe I did forget to sign

Just put the Android_Market.apk on the root of your sdcard then change the filepath to: /mnt/sdcard/Android_Market.apk
And change the signed output filepath to: mnt/sdcard/Android_Market_signed.apk
Then go to your sdcard either through file manager or root explorer or astro and just run the apk like you would any other.
I had some trouble to but just typing it in worked and now I have this working great!
With the zipsign update that came today you should just be able to select the file using the built in browser. Just give the output any other name like vending-sign.apk or something. Run the file then from any file browser after its signed.
And im not sure if this helps CM as I only have a droid 2 and just kinda accidentally stumbled on this fix as I was playing around with some other files but it prob should work

What can you accomplish when you zip sign apks?? I did the market fix and it worked well but I wanted to know why they need to be "signed"...can you sign maybe an apk you backed up from an old droid 2 that was rooted and paid for the apk but have a new google account and dont want to pay for it again..would that have them show up in market? Jw?

Swype Beta 3.0 on EVO... any success?

Hi all,
As the title implies, I just tried updating to the newest version and keep getting an error telling me that it's running in limited mode (allows key press) but when I swype, NOTHING!
The funny thing is when i try to generate the license I follow the steps:
1) click disable swype (it then throws you to the keyboard selection screen where i choose android keyboard)
2) uncheck swype (I don't even see this option on the keyboard selection screen, I'm on MIUI
3) hit generate license
For the previous build... the hack/fix/trick was to start from a swpye free device, install the installer, then install swype... After doing this, you don't go back into the installer to generate the license, you'd go backup the swype apk using a backup tool, then uninstall swype... then restore the backup (then long press home button) and click on swype installer which would register and generate ok.
Any Thoughts?
Worked perfect for me. As a previously registered member, all I did was log in. Dl the installer. Installed the swype. Used it. Realized why i deleted it to begin with. Uninstalled. Looks better, yes...would rather type the Damn thing out than have to correct over and over again little errors that my HTC kingdom keyboard fixes. Good luck w your install tho
Also mine generated its own license after i completed the install.
weird... are you on MIUI?
I'm at a loss as to why it won't work.
I'm trying some suggestions found here:
http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3719-Install-Swype-on-MIUI-without-Titanium-Backup!
i finally got my hands on a 3.0 apk. It will not install. The forums say it won't install over a "system" version. So now i think i have to figure out how to remove the installed version.

One of the new features of 3.0 was tap correction, so it can do the same things the stock keyboard can as well.

It sounds like you've got the preloaded version installed.
Try using root explorer to uninstall it.

Well isn't that amazing!!
Finally got this working on MIUI.
I followed the steps from the 4th post on http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?3719-Install-Swype-on-MIUI-without-Titanium-Backup
"Sorry, but for me it does not work.
This guide has now works for me.
Download installer
Download and install swype
At the enable step leave the installer and select swype as the input device
Reboot your phone
After Reboot, open the swype installer again
Select "Select Android keyboard" and change input back to android keyboard
Choose disable swype, go to applications and uninstall swype but NOT THE INSTALLER
Go back to the installer and generate license
This should put you through the download process again so just follow it and re-install swype
Once re-installed it should generate the license, but it still won't work
Reboot your phone again and all should work, enjoy!

This is exactly what i had to do. I found the existing swype apk, deleted it, restarted the phone and was able to install the new version.
All i have to say so far is awesome! Typing in "normal" mode doesn't seem to lag or be as clumsy as before. Plus(my favorite feature so far) it now asks if you would like to add a word to the dictionary instead of just adding whatever i happened to be typing at the time on it's own. MUCH more control over what words are included. I'm still playing around with it, but so far i'm impressed.
Does miui comes work swype already? If it does you will need to get a file explorer...then go to system/app and look for swype....when you find swype deleted and then reboot your phone...when the phone is on instal swype installer and swype and just follow the instruction to regenerate the license....it work for me....

There is also a library file to delete. in system/lib/libswype.so or something like that. I had to delete that file before it would work for me.
Its more efficient to delete the swype.apk from system/app if you need a file explorer let me know our you can go to the market and download one

I'd also say just titanium backup to remove and then install the new apk.
Worked for me at least, and man is this worlds better than 2.5xxx
all thats needed to install the new beta is uninstall the official apk and lib.
on miui just install then restart the phone. the licence will generate itself. im loving the new beta, but i must admit im a bit jealous if the themeing honeycomb users got for the honeycomb version of swype 3.0.
No issues here. Just uninstalled Swype and went to beta.swype.com to download the new one.

cant install apks

Today i tried to install an apk i downloaded from a company thats software i use, Touchdown for my email and contacts etc.
When i went to the download file to click on the apk to update my version it gives me the install option but i cant click on it only on cancel.
I messed around and then did the same thing though my file explorer and this time i was presented with an option to install it using package installer or juicy installer work around.
package didnt work the the installer workaround did.
Is this a problem with juicy or what?
If its a problem and they have obviously included a work around are they going to fix it?
This is a weird issue i guess idk.
Any responses would be helpful.
Go to settings>security and check the "unknown sources" box. Without that you can only install apps from the play store.

Programs like root explorer will let you delete it. You have to select the r/w option though because /system is r/o by default.

Are you able to download other stuff from store or do you get the same error with other apps. I know nova isn't supported on our devices so maybe play store is just blocking it. Do you have the apk of the new version. You could try just copy and paste into you system app folder.

well it downloads angry birds. and i thought if an app wasnt supported on a certain device it didnt show up. bc i was running it before and the only problem i came across was that it wouldnt update.

[edit]
i rebooted my phone, this time after the loading screen, it said "Android is upgrading/updating" i dont remember which.... but Nova launcher keeps crashing.... trying to run the beta.... it wont start.
You could try and do the fix permissions option in recovery to maybe give it the right permissions. It might need a certain access level. Also it might have to be in /data/app for market to recognize it. Seems weird though that it's giving you so much trouble. I looked it up on my phone and it shows me the app but has the black bar that says "your device is not supported" in place of the download option. It would be nice if all apps just worked the way you wanted them to.

My wifes phone had that same issue. Everytime she took a video or picture she would have to unmount and remount the sd card for gallery to show it, and that only worked sometimes. She has never rooted and was just using the provided 8gb sd card. I bought her a new 16 gb class 10 from best buy for 20 bucks and she hasn't had the problem since.
