Deleted Swype on accident :(

I was messing with my newly rooted A2 while driving (I know, it's a big no no ><) and I accidentally deleted swype. I tried factory resetting the phone and now all that shows up is the Multi touch keyboard in settings. Can anyone post it so I can re-install it?

Here ya go. And remember no playing with your phone while driving...You could really mess up your phone.

Thank you! I installed it but it's not working?? I did it like a regular app, am I supposed to install it in a different way??

You have to use root explorer and put it into /system/apps/ folder then restart the phone.

I did and still nothing >< do I need to set permissions??
Edit: or maybe I need the .odex file that comes with it?? I'm just giving ideas :/

Ok so I messed around with the permissions a bit and I can get Swype to appear in the settings and input method BUT it keeps FC whenever I try to access swype settings or switch to it as my keyboard. Any suggestions?? DO I need the .odex file??
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

you need to fix permissions and need the odex file, as well as the libSwypeCore.so file from /system/lib

I overwrote the latinIME.apk and latinIME.odex on my atrix 2 and forgot to backup can someone get me the stock apk and odex files? and will using root explorer work or will i have to use adb? thanks in advance, i'm kinda new at this.
nevermind, i found the post with all of the system apps, it's right here if anyone needs it.

Do NOT use root explorer EVER, to put system files in place. ALWAYS use adb to push the files, then chmod them to 550 once they are moved into place.

On pc open up file with winzip or winrar and go into lib and armeabi and copy the .so file onto sdcard. Using root explorer copy .so file into system/lib fix permissions and restart phone and all should be ok. I have heard of people having to find their voice talk and voice command files and delete them because they were conflicting with s-voice.

Installed just fine for me from apk. Works pretty good. But once you say a command it stops it doesn't continue listening.

Installs fine, opens fine, scribes the command you say fine.. But the moment you try and touch any button or click the command you entered it just crashes. And i set permissions...

first thing i did was rename vlingo.apk to .old, and voicetalk.apk to .old. tried copying in the new voicetalk.apk, no luck off the bat, got in, got through the setup screen but force closes after that. Just tried moving the .so file in and wiping the cache's and fixing permissions. still getting a force close. suggestions?
edit: clearing app cache seems to have fixed it, even tried that woodchuck thing. impressive.
edit 2: iphones recognition seems to be about as accurate for what I tried, however it did come up with the answers far quicker.

Same issues getting it to work without FC'ing - same suggestions above apply? Going to mess with it but don't have a lot of free time today and tomorrow

So after a bit of playing around i figured out that if you push it to the system/app folder and fix the permissions, then go back in the system/app folder and install the apk like a normal app, its been working fine. Had one FC since, but working 100% better then before. Goodluck!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

fastest way
1) put on SD card
2) use root explorer (or whatever app you use, copy file to system/app
3) set permission (RW- R-- R--)
4) reboot
5) look in app drawer and open. works fine hasn't force closed yet.
If you tried another way and it failed you must delete the one out of your system/app, reboot and then follow the steps exactly.
yes you must be on ICS
Im using Alien ICS ★ Build #8 ★ it works great
thanx romracer

that is why you have to set permissions correctly.
Did you move it to system/app wwith root explorer?
Make sure the top row of permissions all have check marks.(leave the others that are already checked off checked, I sometimes jusst check off all 9 permissions boxes if unsure)
Reboot your phone, and voila widgets will be working

No problem man!
It's funny everyone is hating on it in the CM9 thread. Personally I find it very smooth and much different from the old touchwiz.
I have my icons themed with a CM9 theme too and I like how it keeps the theming.
I have an awesome red ics theme.

I too have tried everything under the sun even begging cursing kicking and even tried praying and I still can't get it to work.. I tried installing the zip in cwm and it didn't install tried unzipping it and dropped the apk in system app folder aannk didn't work after unzipping tried installing the apk like you would any other it showed up as an option in the launchers but when I tried to run it of course it just force closed so I tried moving the library file still force close tried fixing permissions wiping cache and dalvick cache still force close tried settings apps all touchwiz home clear data still force close. If anyone knows something I hadn't tried let me know cause until then I'm stuck like chuck... guess I'll stick with apex launcher....

Then use root explorer and go to system/app
Click on the launcher apk and choose install.

That's because you don't flash in cwm. Follow the exact instructions in post above and it will work but you have to follow them step by step no shortcuts you must do it exactly like it says.

I did flash the .zip file in CMW, and then rebooted the phone. But nothing changed ! I've done this many times, but no luck. I've just wiped out everything and done a factory reset, then got my phone ugraded to ICS, installed CMW, superuser, and tried to do this again. But it won't work. I don't know why.

These are the steps you have to do if you want this work. Even though it is a zip file you do not flash it in cwm. Its not gonna work that way. You have to extract the files so you can get the apk file and others needed to do the steps above. You will also need a file explorer that allows you to get to the system files. I used es file explorer its free on the market. Follow the steps above and this will work..

A word of advice: NEVER delete system applications, instead just freeze them. You never know when you may need them or want them back, and if you delete something (case in point here) that you want back, then you're asking for possible unwanted issues...

Easiest way is to download the file to your computer, then connect your phone in usb mass storage mode to your computer, copy the .apk file you downloaded to your sdcard (which might show up as D: or E: in your PC), disconnect phone from computer, on phone use the "Files" file manager, go to "sd card", locate the .apk and tap on it to install. (Unknown sources should be ticked in your Settings > Applications)

Delete previous performance Manager that you have copied to system/app folder
Extract the attachment then copy both files to system/app without renaming or modifying them
Now to set the permission press and hold both files one after other for 3 seconds a window will appear in that select permission .
Now set permission as I have attached a Image.

People please help me I copied the apk and odex file and I have set the permissions but its not helping

For future reference just copying files to system/app never works. You ALWAYS have to push them with adb. Do you have adb set up on your computer?

If you must use root explorer, you need to copy the files first to the /system folder, and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.. Then "multi-select" both files and "MOVE" (do not copy) them to the /system/app folder, then reboot immediately. If you can go into recovery mode (with bootstrap or cwm on boot feature), then wipe dalvik and cache partition - if not, it may act up.. and it may not.. I have done this countless times with no issues (unless I was sloppy and forgot to rename or change permissions).
It's not the best method - farshad525hou is right, adb is cleaner.. but it can/does work

Yea, I know some folks are opposed to it and/or can't get it to work properly, but I've doing it for quite some time and never ran into a problem - unless I don't do something right. But, come to think of it, I am usually overwriting old files when pushing with root explorer, not placing new ones - I wonder if that may have something to do with it..?
But, I am all for adb - it's an excellent tool that everyone who wants to mod needs to get familiar with.
I suppose we are getting off topic, but this would make a good discussion thread somewhere...
EDIT: just checked, I guess I'm not alone after all!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 - the key steps are to set permissions (which can't be done on the sdcard) and MOVE to /system/app (or where ever)

Just do adb install xx.xx.xx.apk there is no need to remount (or odex file). What is the error message do you get when you tried adb install? If it says already installed, then go to settings -> applications -> all and uninstall the same, and try adb install again.

[Q] Need tool to access phone using PC, cant access phone

I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'.Only a part of large lockscreen wallpaper is occupying my entire screen. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12

You can wipe your /data in recovery if you don't mind
Or you can manually delete the theme using adb(the apk will be in /data/app).
PS: make a nandroid backup first in case anything goes wrong...
Edit: if you don't know the Apk name, navigate to /data/app and type find(Idk if it will work on windows, cause I tested it in android )

FIRST YOU STOP SPAMMING EVERYWHERE
What is the problem when you can see all system files and folder. Go to data /app.. and delete it. Or if you have moved the theme apk to sdcard.. just browse your sdcard using an adapter and delete that appname.apk from ".android_secure" folder.
Use these (if you havent moved the app to sdcard)
adb shell
login as.. su
cd data/app
ls
rm appname.apk
reboot

problem solved
Sorry 'senior member' , i did not mean to spam but if u can understand my desperation. btw problem solved- a noobie like me suggested to call from a different phone and while on the call change the theme....
i myself tried a lot fiddling with command line but wasnt able to figure out.
