Restoring old Swype dictionary to new Swype beta(root only)

http://www.thinkoholic.com/2011/12/03/swype-beta-update-manually-exportimport-personal-dictionary/
I found this way of restoring old dictionary, but this is complicated for those unfamiliar with adb command,like me can any one post a simple way
The old way of titanium backup doesn't work anymore, since the new beta is completely different app
The new beta is really cool
But I'm missing my old dictionary

[CLOSE THREAD PLEASE][MOD][APP] Floating Touch 1.3.1 (Updated: 2012.10.20)

I've finished this project, and attached the current source. @mods: Please close this thread, thank you.
Feel free to try out the app on different devices, If your phone's files are not autodetected execute the following command
"find /sys -name set_touchscreen"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in adb shell or terminal emulator. If it gives back results then try them out, if there are no results I cannot help "porting" it to your device, sorry.
Hi, I've read the news about the floating touch and the galaxy sl, checked the threads, and guess what it works on our phone too!
I've made an app that can controll our phone's "floatiness", it works well on biohazard v4.
CHANGELOG:
1.3.1 (2012.10.20)
-Added detection and support for Galaxy SL (i9003) and Galaxy SII (i9100 (not i9100G)) based on shriomman's thread (thanks shriomman) (it seems like that it does not work on i9100 based on feedback)
-Different results on I9000 (needs further confirmation whether it works or not )
1.3 (2012.10.20)
-Added possibility to manually input the path to the files of the touchscreen driver (thanks shriomman for the idea)
-Added possibility to start service automatically on boot
-Fixed charger connect/disconnect reset by optional bgservice (thanks alireza7991 for finding the issue)
-Made the UI more helpfull
-Pressing MENU button will reset everything (except if you entered some sensitive file in manual mode and overwritten it...it cannot be fixed ) (disable service, set value to 32, delete configuration files and exit the app) (only usable in the main activity of the app) (in case you've set some wrong value)
-Changed app's icon (thanks nishant_713 for the icon)
1.2.1 (2012.10.16)
-Fix for G3 <- managed to test it on my old GT-I5800 running CM7 and it works nice, doesn't even need the bg service as it stays after screenlock without the need of reapply (can't test for long as it now belongs to my father )
-It also turned out that by adding a "cat /..../set_write" also removed the need of the bgservice for us(...I keep this feature anyway...maybe someone likes it in the notification area )... so pressing the button is enough (altough it's saying temporary because I'm lazy to make an update for changing only the button's caption)
1.2 (2012.10.16)
-Added support for Galaxy 3 (GT-I5800 / GT-I5801) <-- Please feedback if it's work as I cannot test it. (Probably not working well please use 1.2.1)
1.1.2 (2012.10.14)
-Now supports Jelly Bean!
1.1.1 (2012.10.13)
-reverted minimum to 1 (thus allowing greater freedom )
1.1 (2012.10.13)
-added option to start/stop a background (in fact foreground to prevent killing) service, thus it can survive the screenlock
-changed minimum value to 7...values under it are not really usable
-app now stores last value setted by it (may differ from the actual value)
-added a filecheck too, and a nice warning message on failure
All it does is "echo 70xx > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen" (xx can be set between 01 and 34)
It will reset on each reboot.
Possible usage:
-Using styluses like with resistive screens (value 10 and below) (Fun to use pinchzoom with two pencils ) <-- Thanks for domi525 for finding out.
-Use the screen with gloves on <-- Thanks for domi525 for finding out.
-Setting it a low value, and hovering over your screen to avoid smudges (value 8 and below).
Instructions: install the app; set a value (the lower, the floatier); press button to apply it (till next reboot)
WARNING: Value below 7 cause registering of nonexistant touches, or the complete inability to register any touches!! In those case you WILL need to reset it with adb shell using the command "echo 7032 > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen" OR reboot your phone (via adb or battery reinsert)
I am not aware of any other side-effects, and take no responsibility for this app at all.
Of course all credits goes to shriomman and loSconosciuto for founding this, also check the original thread . (Sorry guys for not mentioning at the first place, and thank you very much )
Special thanks to nishant_713 for making me find out that we also need the cat command
Credits:
shriomman - Finding the method the app uses; sharing the path for Galaxy SL and SII
loSconosciuto - Finding out the possibilities to tweak the touchscreen
nishant_713 - Galaxy 3 support; the idea to use the cat set_write too; New icon
alireza7991 - Noticing the charger bug
domi525 - Finding out more usage
And everyone who gave feedback and helped to make this app better.

I'm not sure whether it works or not (if you have a file named switch at \sys\class\touch\ than it will work i guess). It basicly makes the screen super-sensitive, it allows you to touch the screen without touching it: by just hovering your hand over it.

WOOOW! This really works! Amazing! Good job :thumbup:

It all depends whether he has that file in /sys (full path in OP)
Worst case scenario (imo): app FCs or need to reboot to touch again

Nice work! Though the Nexus S doesn't have that file. D; I didn't expect it to work but it'll be cool to see which other devices support this feature.

i set it to 7 as recommended but it goes back to 32 whenever i reopen the app again, any sugesstions??

The value stays and keeps being applied but the app does not save it and I did not have time to search how to read the current value yet.

Titanium Backup resets wallpaper

Hi,
I recently installed titanium backup on my rooted transformer. Whenever I make a backup, my wallpaper gets reset. Why would that be?

That is strange, I've done countless backup with Titanium and never once does it reset my wallpaper.

Well, actually this started after I enabled the scheduled backup of changed data. When I did a initial backup manually everything worked fine as well.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I've noticed that as well, but on my Galaxy Nexus. Ever since that started happening (and setting the wallpaper up properly is a real pain in the S for me), I stopped using scheduled backups...

I suspect that it's not because of the schedule, but the changed data backup mode.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I am also experiencing this issue on my rooted Galaxy S2 with 4.1.2.
In addition to resetting my wallpaper, the backup also sets my default keyboard back from Swiftkey to the Samsung Keyboard.
In my case, it has been every time I run Backup - All User Apps and System Data.
By testing I have determined that if I do not backup Swiftkey then the default keyboard doesn't change.
In the case of the wallpaper issue, I Have not yet been able to work out which backup item is causing the problem.

FWIW.... A workaround I found for this problem on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (4.2.2 using Titanium Backup free version)... If I exclude "System UI" from the backup, the wallpaper is not reset. I had tried both the "Kill active apps" and the "Exclude active apps" options, but it was still resetting the wallpaper to default. I performed a manual backup, deselected System UI from the apps list, and the wallpaper wasn't reset. For scheduled backups I set up a filter to exclude "System UI" and it seems to work fine.
There certainly may be other solutions/workarounds, but this one worked for me.

Might seem like a dump question, but how Do I set up a filter for the scheduled backup?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Hey guys,
had the same problem on tablet and phone (only the wallpaper thing).
Here is a solution, get the pro version of titanium - preferences and check "advanced app control". Solved.
Cheers
one less gadget.

Same problem here!! I've also noticed it is Titanium who is resetting everything.
However, I have that option set but it's failing... I will try disabling that scheduled backup.

It also happens to me when using Titanium backup, on an Apex AP-GS918, and performing a manual backup (ie not on a schedule).
I guess the System UI app must crash, when being backed-up, and resets the wallpaper as well as the keyboard input device.

Well, but that's a little inconvenient. Always setting the wallpaper to my custom selection ..
Sent from my Transformer TF101G using xda app-developers app

I'm also finding that my wallpaper is reset to the default one when using Titanium Backup. It's happening when I use TB to clean the cache of the System UI app (thanks to ahe777 for pointing me in the right direction) rather than when running backups.
The solution for me was to set up a label and filter to exclude the System UI app from cache cleaning.
The Advanced App Control option (I'm using TB Pro) seems to make no difference in my situation.
HTC One S with CyanogenMod 10.2

Using TB Pro - Doing manual backup of all sys data and user apps I found the following when it finished...
Resets wallpaper back to original wallpaper.
Resets keyboard back to google keyboard as default.
Also stops all my "Start at Boot" apps from starting at boot. I hade to restart each manually to get them to go back to autostarting again.
Also reset my default SMS app to Google Messaging.
Tried Advanced App Control and that appears to have solved the problem - at least for manual backups. Will see about scheduled later.

Using filters works for me as well! Thx.

I recently upgraded to 4.4.2 and used Titanium Backup to help move my apps between the ROM. I also had the problem with resets to wallpaper and running apps. I tried most of the settings with no great success, but I will try the filter workaround posted in this thread. I was quite disappointed with TIBU as the options and settings are not very well laid out on the tablet interface.

Not paying twice

same Problem here with my OnePlus One (rooted). Doesn't matter if you use a stock ROM (12s) or a original CM 5.1.x ROM. This is really annoying ...

I had the Advanced App Control with the Donate version, and still lose my wallpaper and keyboard settings. Blows, but hey - at least it's backing up right.

I'm using a Oneplus 3 rooted with stock rom (OOS 3.2.7/Android 6.0.1) and have the same problem as archer when doing an scheduled 'all apps & system data' backup. On a scheduled 'all new & changed apps' everything is ok. Advanced app control wont do the trick, looks like a never solved bug.

Hey glad you like it the Beta 2 is up, which allows google play store as well, may add one more free app through popular demand. pro version will focus on true customisation. by the first final release i will know exactly what level of stuff will be in free/pro. Halo support ill add for future features - what exactly do you need in terms of integrationf with halo? are you saying that if you use the gesture to launch google now in the halo window so its floating? that sounds logical
