Correct. You need to uninstall the previous version first. It is mentioned in one of the links that gave.
However I just renamed the stock /system/app/Swype.apk (which is about 10.3 MB) to Swype.apk.bak to keep a backup.
follow up question...
do you need to be rooted to rename the swype. apk???

Yes. You need to be rooted to rename that. And I guess you have to be rooted to uninstall the stock one too.
It's WONDERFUL!
Been using it the past few days.
Been loving every second of it.
Also feels more stable than the last version.
And now it's so easy to switch from different languages.
Not to mention the spanish one also has the enie(the retarded N) so it's way easier to write now.
No more long-pressing a lot of buttons now.
Swype beta 3.26 beta is better than the previous version except the theme.

Very true. I have seen 3.26 in a black theme also. You can search about it. But I just thought of living with this one for sometime.
I just applied the new Roboto font which is used in ICS. It is beautiful. With the new Swype and Roboto font, typing and reading has become more pleasant than ever.
Read this to know the simple font replacing instructions.

New theme is cooler, and thanks for this. It's much more stable now.
This is the same as the one released a week ago, right?

I think so. I have been reading about it at several sites since weekend.
What's so different about it? (I had a great many problems trying to get it to work so don't want to uniinstall it to find very few differences..!)

There are loads of articles on the net by now about the new features. Can you share the problems you faced?

It was mainly removing the previous version I had installed. (via Darky's ROM) Once I'd removed it there were a few issues with downloading the .apk from the Swype servers but it worked eventually. I've uninstalled and installed the new version already (far too keen to get the brightest, shiniest newest things!!) Seems very nice. I also have the Roboto font and it DOES make it nice and easy to read.
Couple of days ago, my Swype prompted me that there is an update available. I applied and it downloaded and installed itself smoothly. No issues so far. I had heard of this auto-update feature. Now experienced it too.
If you don't know how to reduce so big Swype weight, you should read my simple tutorial on my blog: en.marurban.pl
I can't in this moment publicize any ready-made packages because I am waiting for reply from Swype inc.

If you got this from the Google Play Store: read the market description. If you got it from some shady site, you're not bound to receive assistance -- warez is against the rules in here (the community exists in large part due to the developers behind these applications).

You have to install both prime and the basic app. It looks the same. Prime gets you some extra features.

PS I can't attach any link or file of GNL and Google Search apks extracted from my device! If I can I try to put a link in the comments
Oh no! I can't put any link! And I can attach files only from my gallery or my camera!
However, I ve got android lollipop google now launcher and google search. Thanks
Hey DgDav99, you can install "XGEL Settings" which is an Xposed module. This will allow you to completely modify Google's Experience Launcher as if it is Nova, Apex, etc. This will allow you to add a column, and also keep the quick swipe for Google Now. Hope that helps! Just note that you obviously must have root access to install Xposed.
He mentioned that he was using Lollipop.
As of this moment, Xposed is still not functional on Lollipop so theres no way he can use XGELS.
Sorry buddy but to be able to modify the GNL, you will have to go back to 4.4 at least and then root it, install Xposed and then install XGELS.
If you don't want to do that, you can use a different launcher such as Nova Launcher as of the current beta looks a lot like GNL and is highly customisable.
The only downside is that there is no "Swipe to left for Google Now"

Sorry, I didn't explain me. I'm on kitkat 4.4.2, but I'm running the GNL of lollipop(I don't remember the version)!
However, I know xGELs module, but I prefer waiting xposed for lollipop because my phone will Be updated soon. I only would like to know if there were others methods to modify GNL (for example modifying apk...) thanks

I'm not sure if there's a way to do that but you can use Xposed Framework with Xposed GEL Settings module to accomplish what you wanna do while on KitKat 4.4.2 until your phone is updated like a previous user mentioned

You can post a link as long as you put a space in the middle, like google .com, and even putting the link in the browser, people can just take out the space.

Install as normal app.
Since this is the unmodified app, you wont have a shortcut or menu in settings, if you want to enter permission manager menu, you need to download an app from Google Play Store that can create a shortcut of any of your app or settings.
I recommend Shortcut master lite.

Hello!
Can anybody tell me which Launcher XTRONS is using for their Headunits with Android 8.0 and where to get it from? (see attachment)
It's my favourite one and I would like to use it with a Custom ROM.
Thank you!

Here you are. I've extracted them especially for you from the Malaysk ROM. The launcher you are looking for is the GS one
P.S. It could be that you also need the widgets. Ask me again if so.
Great, thank you!
PS: yes, please also give me the Widgets - THANK YOU!

thank you, but I can only find the widget for the HCT launcher - or is it the same as the "GS" launcher? (the one that I am looking for)

HCT is the software developer of different Android head units like HA, GS, KGL, LM, KLD, ... The software installed on the units is the same, only the launchers are different. That`s why this apk is called HCTwidget_GS.apk. GS is Xtrons (seller).
Hey Guys,
thx Oberbergler for the upload, but it doesnt work for me and my friend.
The installer just says that he cant install this program. (Launcher3_GS.apk) @erdloch
Did u had any success with the installation?

That's a package name problem because all hct launchers in Android 8 are using the same package name. You have to uninstall the stock launcher of your ROM first.
I had no chance to try it yet, but will probably do this today or tomorrow.
Maybe a stupid question, but what happens when I delete the stock launcher? Do I still have an interface where I can install the Launcher3_GS.apk? Do I get the "standard" Android launcher?

Thx for the answer.
I've uninstalled all the launchers in the system apps including Launcher3, except the LauncherLM. That's the only launcher remaining on my device.
And i still can't install the Launcher3_GS.apk
Do you know where I've could went wrong?
I have the same problem as waxjee...any suggestions?
I have the same problem and I don't know how to solve it. We need an app with different package name, but I don't know how to compile it.

You could try changing the package name by editing the AndroidManifest.xml file using apkstudio. I use version 4.0.3 and have done with other apps that I need original and modified versions installed on the same deviice and it works great.
Change the package name (Usually top line "package=")
Save
Build
Sign
Then copy to your device and install
The save, build, sign are all buttons on the toolbar, and I have found it works a treat.
Hello,
wanted to ask if someone has already solved the problem, the GS Launcher to install and if he did it how the whole thing works.
Thank you for your feedback
Hi, i found this forum thread after looking for the exact same launcher theme. Im havin no luck installing it, i seem to have no permissions to install it at all. I've yet to try apkstudio, but im completely unable to uninstall the stock launcher, the option is greyed out! Any ideas?
This would also be very useful for me too as I am indeed looking for this launcher. But my unit has not been rooted and have no wish too... can this still be done?
It's an old thread but hopefully it's still alive
I tried changing the package name using APKStudio but somehow I couldn't. Can someone with the right skill set please change the package name for the "GS" LAUNCHER located in the first page and uploaded it back here. Thanks a lot!
any one had any luck with this?
anyone get this working?
