Swype - Captivate Themes and Apps

How do I manully insatall swype on this captivate vibrant Tom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

You grab the swipe file from: system/libs/libSwypeCore and the file from: system/apps/Swype.apk and put them on your SD card.
I can't post them it's illigal and against forum rules, but you can pull them off any stock rom with Root Explorer. To install them just put the 2 files back in their original spots after you do the Vibrant hybrid install.

Hi guys,
I just installed JH3+SRE+Lagfix and my Swype is broken, I have Samsung Keyboard and Android Keyboard as well as Swype as options in the settings, both work fine but Swype is "dead", I see it but I can't interact with it, I touch and nothing happens lol
Is there a way to fix this or do I have to reinstall Swype, if so, how?
Many thanks

[Q] How to install Allshare .apk and .odex

After much google searching, and searching here on XDA, I'm at a loss. I have the Allshare.apk and .odex, however I have had no luck installing them. I've tried various suggesions, including pushing them from adb shell, and nothing seems to work.
I would love to continue using custom roms, but not having Allshare is a big reason for me to just use rooted stock. The rom I'm trying to install it on is Cognition Beta (Froyo).
Titanium Backup also doesn't work for this. It tells me that it backed up Allshare, but when I try to install it, the restore button doesn't even show up.
Also, a quick question for Rom Manager. With the rom backup feature, can you only restore a backup for the rom you are using? (i.e if you want to restore a backup for another rom, you have to flash the rom first, then restore?)
Although posted in the wrong forum... I'd also like an answer to this. Running CDE and would really like to have AllShare to stream movies off my media server.

Not sure why this would be the wrong forum. I'm using a Captivate, and trying to install Allshare on a Captivate rom.
use root explorer and add them to System/app and paste both files there.
reboot your device, and voila

Still at square one. Altho the .apk and .odex are now in system/apps, it didn't affect anything. Also, looked up root explorer, and how to use it, then downloaded it. It won't remount my main file system as read only...so it's permanently in r/w now.
Also tried flashing to killer23d's rom, to use titanium backup on the allshare he has in his rom, still wouldn't work.
So....clueless at this point.

At one point, I had this same problem, and the only solution there is, is to reflash the rom. It's a PITA, I know. And don't worry about what your filesystem is mounted as in Root Explorer. After every reboot it reverts to read only again.

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be my case. Even after reflashing Cognition, my file system is still R/W. Didn't even have to hit the white button on root explorer to paste files into system/app.
Also, adding dlna.apk and dlna.odex into system/app still isn't giving me Allshare.
Edit: Well, I've found a better solution. I'm gonna go with Killer23d's rom...looks alot more like stock Froyo, is based on the I9000, has Allshare, AND Mobile AP. Both features that I wanted.
Thanks for trying guys. If anyone does come up with a solution tho, please feel free to use this thread, as searching for allshare.apk on google results in this thread being either the 2nd or 3rd search result (can't remember).
Works for me.
I just put AllShare back in, using the attached file, and it's working fine.
I'm running Cognition 2.2 Beta 9.1.3 and put the file into "system\app" using Root Explorer.
I also changed the permissions of the file and selected just the following:
USER = READ + WRITE
GROUP = READ
OTHERS = READ
Remove any other checked permissions.
In case you don't know how to get into the permissions, just long-press the file, from within Root Explorer, and choose "Permissions" from the list that pops up.
Don't forget to reboot right after.
Your issue is most likely because you are trying to reintegrate an odex'ed AllShare while you are using a de-odex'ed ROM. Ozone777's file looks to be about the correct size for a de-odex'ed AllShare. Just move it into the /system/app folder with root explorer as mentioned above and you should be good to go.
I used terminal to drop the APK attached in the previous post into /system/app and it works beautifully. CogYo 2.2.9

This forum is awesome, I was able to put back allshare and it is working like a champ.
Thanks guys.

[Q] CM6 Keyboard Help

I'm finally breaking down and trying out CM6, really don't like the stock keyboard and am having problems with the XDA HTC_IME one. I don't want to have to choose the keyboard every time the phone boots up, but if I delete the stock keyboard the XDA one force-closes every few seconds.
I've tried this one and this one. Anyone know how to get the XDA keyboard working by itself in CM6 Stable? Thanks!
You have to pick a new keyboard each time you reboot? I haven't heard of that one. I use that first link you posted, the Steel My Elegance one, and I haven't had a problem with it. How did you install it?
I've tried installing it from command using adb install as well as placing it in the system/app folder and resigning the CM6.zip to install the entire ROM from recovery. Using RA 1.6.2
It's driving me nuts

To install, download the keyboard, extract it, and open it with a file manager. Also, I attached the calibration tool. Install that the same way as the keyboard, and it will allow you to calibrate the keyboard.

Click to collapse
Did you do this?
Finally got it working. Here's what I did:
1) Delete LatinIME from the ZIP
2) Add Clicker + HTC_IME (v27.2)
3) Flash ZIP. Receive force closes when ROM boots
4) Reinstall both APKs using "adb install -r". The -r parameter did the trick.
Eeysh, what a pain. Hope this can help anyone else who has issues with this keyboard.
Just saying 'dang'. I learned to love the CM6 keyboard.
But I must say kudos to you. I had tried a long time ago, with no luck

[Q] Transferring swype application

Is there a way to manually transfer swype application together with the database, dictionaries, etc from one ROM to another?
I would like to upgrade to a JPY based ROM, but I don't want to lose swype installed in my current ROM. It has the languages I need as well as a proper RTL support.
I tried backing up swype with MyBackup Pro, then restoring it on JPY ROM. It didn't work, apparently.
Thanks!
No takers?
Does anybody know if it's even possible? Could save me a lot of time copying files and flashing back and forth if I knew ahead that it just can't be done.
Thanks!

I too would love to know.

Yes but you have to either replace the files in the Rom zip or move the files manually after flashing. You dont install swipe, you just use adb or file manager to move files to correct locations.

Yeah, I tried that, but it didn't work for me. Either I missed some of the necessary files, or there some compatibility/dependence issues. I'd like to know if it's the former or the latter...

Having problems enableing other keyboards besides Ginger keyboard

Hi there,
Any suggestions on how to enable slideit keyboard? Everytime I go into settings and push "keyboard" it goes straight back to home screen.... any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

Did you copy the .apk into apps and install it? Try uninstalling and reinstalling it afterward, then selecting it from NookTools.
U have to use nookcolor tools
Nook Color via Xda App
I had a similar problem and found out that the keyboard apk file has to be in the system/apps folder but usually gets installed into data/apps.
If that's the problem, you can move it with adb or buy Root Explorer which makes it much easier.
Mobileread forum for the color nook (developer's corner) has a thread entitled
"How to get Gingerbread keyboard?"
I can't post the link directly because I'm new to this forum.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!

I have gotten all the custom keyboards I tried, working perfectly. Presently using SwiftKey. You just need to move the apk file to system/apps, set the permissions similar to other apks in the folder and then install that apk from there. After that you need to reboot, otherwise the keyboard won't show up on Nook Color Tools. After booting, open NC Tools and change the keyboard.

were you able to get the word suggestion to work with swiftkey? I installed and chose it as my keyboard in nookcolor tools, but the word suggestion doesn't work.

[MOD][Comrom]How-to update to swype beta 3.0 with installer link[6/25]Updated

1. Change input method to any other keyboard.
2. In the /system/app folder, delete Swype.apk
3. In the /system/lib folder, delete libSwypeCore.so
4. In the /data/data folder, delete the com.swype.xxx folder
5. In the /data/dalvik-cache folder, delete the [email protected]@swype.... file.
6. REBOOT OR IT WON't INSTALL PROPERLY
7. Install and run the swype beta installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Installer link here http://db.tt/cD8HXlI
You also can rename the files to .xx.bak so you have a backup. This works 100% for me on Com Rom 2 after just installing today so I don't know how this will work on systems that have been used daily for a while.
I take no part if none of this works and permanently deletes swype from your phone. Your own fault.

I completely agree with you, its a complete improvement from the last version. The word suggestion window is gone and moved to a frame above the keyboard, word prediction is way more accurate, swyping is more accurate, etc.
I'm a big swype user, so thanks for the instructions...may give this a whirl.
Where can I find the swype beta installer?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
http://beta.swype.com
The biggest change (other than tablet support) with Swype 3 isn't even the much improved suggestion window or the faster and more accurate swiping: it's that Swype now does predictive tapping too.
No more need to switch between Swype and the stock keyboard or SwiftKey if you aren't in a swiping mood. That's why their tagline for 3.0 is - and I'm not making this up, just watch their promo videos - "Stroke it AND poke it."
So what color is the new swype?
Edit: My sywpe expired so im being forced to update. Instructions worked perfectly thnx.
Thanks for the instructions. Worked perfectly. Now to get used to the slightly different interface...
Thanks for putting this little tutorial out there cuz after updating to UKB2.1 the swype keyboard stopped working
I admit I might not the most brainy person when it comes to this
Had a heck of a time figuring out how to remove those system files... finally resorted to Root Explorer (paid app) to remove these files (I am sure there was a way to do it without, but I refer you to the above comment)
For some reason the swype beta likes to be authenticated twice...
and after the second authentication process, I made sure to reboot before using the keyboard...
so far it is working and I like the new keyboard... (I had better since it would take me another whole afternoon to figure out how to install the old swype keyboard)
thanks again and keep up the good work

Glad you got it worked out, but wanted to let you know not to feel bad about going to root explorer. You will likely find that you have a lot of uses for it - there is a LOT that goes on round here that having root explorer makes life a lot easier to follow...
Enjoy!
I just updated to 2.1 and my swype crapped out on me too. I've tried everything to get it working, but nothing works.
I've been trying to delete the swype.apk and other files instructed here, but they won't delete. 'don't have permission," "read only" or "Cannot Delete." I'm using Root Explorer too, and trying to switch Mount r/o to r/w, and it won't change! Someone help me! I'm going through Swype withdrawls already!
What program is everyone using to locate and delete files?
BTW, I've switched keyboards before I try to delete, still no luck.
neotrixy,
i remember having similar difficulty
try changing [mount r/o] button before you select the app you want to delete,
couldn't find a another protected system app to delete to try this again, but I was able to switch the mount button back and forth by pressing the grey button at the top of the screen
hope this helps
ps- i did find that someone posted a swype fix in the UKB thread (not sure if it works)... it is way back in the thread... but i had already switched to beta before i found it
No, i think already mentioned, for whatever reason, the button won't change to r/w. It's stuck on r/o. I don't know what the problem is, I've never had a problem like this before.
Thanks for the help though!
Any other ideas?
I think i got it fixed...I downloaded a newer version of Root Explorer, and it let me change the r/w.
Thanks guys!
ok,
It sounds like your Root Explorer program has not been granted superuser permissions yet.
I can't remember when it asked for those permissions, check in your superuser icon to see if Root Explorer is listed in there and has a green circle next to it.
I have been looking in looking around in the Root Explorer menus but don't see anything
I hope it is as easy as clicking the allow button in superuser, if not my other thought would be to uninstall and reinstall Root Explorer to see if it will ask for superuser permissions when you open it up.
good luck
Yes
Thanks for your help. I was so frustrated with Verizon having made that (or so they thought) permanent. That is so stupid they want their people stuck with an old version. Appreciate all your help. God bless in Jesus' Name.
