You can delete the system swype by Titanium backup, also go to data/system/libSwypeCore (I think that's the file name.. I forget the exact name) and delete it. Then reboot, and install swype 2.10 apk like you would normally would with any apk's.
Will swype 2.10 work on a HTC myTouch on 2.2? if so, can anyone give me a link to swype 2.10 or a working version of swype for the myTouch? Thanks in advance!
it should, but i think if it doesnt allredy come with ur phone its considered warez
rogers purchased captivate running cogb6
-swype 2.10 working great
initially got error when installing
resolved by removed swype "uninstalling" using tit.backup + deleting \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so using root explorer. new swype is AMAZING
I tried deleting using Root Explorer but it doesn't work and I even did the R/W mount thing...

Ok so I uninstalled the swype using titanium backup, then download the newer version from here:
getandroidstuff.com/2010/08/swype-keyboard-in-19-languages-for.html
Then using both the default file manager and astro to install but even after the uninstallation and a reboot and I cant seem to see swype anywhere in the phones installed app list, it still say "Replace application, the app you are installing will replace another app" How can it replace something that isnt there. And after the installation is done, it said "application not installed". There is no swype under my "text and locale" setting either. tried both the HVGA and WVGA version, same thing. Any idea? :/

Swype is a system app, it can't be removed so easily. You have to remove /system/app/Swype.apk, then remove /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.swype (if it's there, maybe titanium removes it) .
Then you copy your downloaded apk to /system/app renamed to Swype.apk and only then try to install it, from the downloaded folder.
ok thanks, I just needed to change the name of the file to simply swype.apk for it to work
we need a better way than FW updates to update Swype and a very manual process, am I missing something?
I followed the instructions given above, tried with both of the swype versions mentioned above and a newer version (Swype_v2_6_47_11856).
The installation goes without any problems, however once I select swype as input method it goes haywire and needs to be force closed every 10 seconds.
I'm using Android 2.2 (Froyo)
Do I need to use a different method to install Swype?
And which version of swype might be best to use?
I wanted to install it because Swype does come with a Russian alphabet version.
titanium backup will let you integrate any new version of Apps that is already installed in ROM back into the ROM
Cool, thanks !!
One snag though, I deleted the old version of swype like explained in the second message.....how can I fix that first?
the newer swype version will make a forced close after boot because u did not cut the libswype.so (or st like that) from your /system/lib/ folder when you removed your stock swype version. I had the same problem before and solved it by just removing that file by cutting and pasting it into another folder for backup.
You have to remove system/lib/libswypecore.so
After that, just push the new swype.apk to /system/app
and then push the new libswypecore.so to /system/lib
Edit: Or flash with CWM ;D
Assistance required please:
I deleted the original Swype and then have downloaded WVGA 2.10.52.13753. I've deleted /system//lib/libswypecore and then run the SWYPE SVGA 2.10.XXXX.apk.
When I then try to use it I get the message "The application Swype (process com.swype.android.input mehod) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
After switching teh phone off and back on, I still get this continuously.
I am running my SGS on 2.2 which is Froyo .XXJPO with root and OCLF. What am I missing?
I also note that niXXoz talks about pusing, what is this? I've tried copy and paste but when I get up to the lib and app level the paste option disappears. Could be completely inconsequential but thought I'd ask.
Really look forward to any help that you can lend.
Thanks

You will have to remove it via Titanium Backup. If it still fails to install the APK you'll have to manually log into via adb (or use a terminal emulator) and remove the following:
/system/apps/Swype
/system/lib/libSwype*
That should do the trick. I've just installed a 2.6.x today on my Cappy and it's very nice.
Hi:
I tried to remove via Titanium, that did not work. So, I used Root Explorer and deleted the 2 files. Install was still unsuccessful. So, I used ADB to try to remove, and it says No such file or directory.
Even though I had Swype backed up with Titanium, it will not allow me to restore it, and I am completely unable to install a newer version.
I have searched and can't seem to find the stock Captivate Swype to try to reinstall it.
Any suggestions? I am desperate.
Thanks!

Not a problem...glad it worked. Sometimes people make things more difficult than they need be.
Could somebody post a short step-by-step on how to do this?
I need some help.
I used root explorer to look for the
/system/apps/Swype
/system/lib/libSwype*
files.
I found the libSwypecore file, but i didn't have any Swype files in /system/apps.
I deleted that file after uninstalling Swype using Titanium Backup. No success and I'm confused about what you mean by copying over the files using with root explorer. When I try to install my new version of swype, it asks if I would like to still install it since it's a system app (I'm guessing Swype is still recognized as part of the system). Then...it says it's unsuccessful.
Also, I can't restore for some reason since Titanium Backup doesn't have the option anymore
Where do you go to download the new Swype?
I have 2.4 currently.

2.6.48.....from axura...but I think docs have updated swype as well?...not 100% sure, dont know of a direct download, might be due to the porting it to other devices and xda crackdown on swype downloads
Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
I believe the beta is 2.10. I haven't found an easy way to download 2.10 as it is only made available to Sywpe beta users and they aren't taking any more applicants at the moment.
I'm really hoping they make 2.10 more available soon...

I've downloaded a modified version somewhere and I deleted system/lib/libSwypeCore.so and also deleted the other two swype components via TiBu. Rebooted and installed the 2.10 apk fine
Also di11igaf's 2.0.1 rom has swype 2.10 in it
So, I uninstalled with Titanium Backup, deleted /system/lib/Swypecore.so. Rebooted my phone
Now, when i try to install the new Swype version, it initially says
"Replace application
The application you are installing will replace another application. All previous user data will be saved."
Ok and Cancel are my two options
I choose Ok of course, try installing and it says Application not installed.
From what I can tell, it seems like the stock Swype is somehow still recognized?
Edit: Nevermind, I got it working. I pushed/copied the files over.
Installed swype 1.60 version (many language packs including Dutch that I needed) by using the copy paste method. Uninstalling via titanium and removing any swype trace and then trying to install it by tapping the .apk didn't work, it just said install not succesful. Sideloading it via Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine gave me an error stating I did not have enough space (i have more than enough), oh well, at least the copy paste method worked. Renamed the 1.60 swype file to Swype.apk and put it in system/app/ and rebooted and worked... Thanks for the help, can finally (looked for a long time) now swype in dutch!
I tried to install and failed
Everybody here talks about "I copied over and it worked"
What do you copy and over what? Could you be more specific?
Just google swype beta and sign up for it and follow the instructions there.
Hi:
Does anyone have the original swype version found on the captivate? I updated it to a newer version some time ago, with help from this thread, but now (starting today) I am getting a message saying that my trial is over, and the "swype" feature is no longer working.
Please help.
Thanks!
UPDATE: I have found several other versions of swype, and uninstalled, and installed several. I seem to be having the same results. They all install, but the"swype" feature doesn't work, only regular typing works. I still have not found the original Captivate version.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again!
UPDATE: Okay, so I uninstalled all Swype using Titanium, then I went to the Swype website, signed up for the beta, and installed. Voila, it's working perfectly now I just hope this version doesn't eventually give the trial is exipred version eventually.
Hi everyone,
I'm not sure if this will make sense, but I am planning to remove the default swype keyboard on my SGS i9000 and install a beta one since Swype has opened up their doors for new beta testers. However, after registering and running SwypeInstaller, I was told by it that I need to remove the Swype first on my SGS--which I can't since it's a system application. So I installed Titanium Backup Pro and froze it then re-ran the Swype Installer. And of course it doesn't install since I cannot overwrite system apps.
In short, I'm now under the dilemma of removing the default Samsung Swype which I couldn't get back unless I reflash a stock firmware or keeping it and not installing the Beta Swype. I think the beta swype is more updated (I've ran it on my x10).
Is there any other way to update the Swype in our SGS?
Thanks.
you need to be rooted, connect with adb and do
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
rm /system/app/Swype.odex
rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
reboot
Thanks. My SGS is rooted and all, but i'm not sure I'm up for some ADB action yet. In case I use Titanium Backup to remove it or use Root Explorer, will it work?
titanium won't remove the lib, in root explorer you can delete the 3 files. but honestly adb is a lot quicker imho
Hey, should I back up those files first before deleting them? Thanks.
I installed the new beta on my Galaxy S, but it just forced closed. This may be due to the fact that I couldn't remove the lib file though.
Also I restarted after remove the old one by using Titanium Backup, but when ever an application got focus it force closed. After restarting that fixed up.
I couldn't restore the old version of Swype, so I had to reflash to get it back.
Hopefully we'll get the self updating Swype soon .

Can you tell me how to mount /system as RW in adb?
I am only able to access in RO
EDIT: i managed to get to system in RW mode after rebooting to CWM recovery. I guess this is the only way?
Use sgs tools to remove it, you can find it in the market.

Ahh good tip - worked nicely!
However - now I can't get Swype to install!
I'm officially on the beta, so am using the installer rather than trying to sideload an apk.
But at some point it prompts me to authorise its installation, saying "this is a system application - are you sure you want to replace it?" - although I've removed (in theory) the system version of swype.
Any ideas?
I'm having the same issue... tried deleting all the files associated with swype using root explorer, no luck...

This really sucks.
I'm a new SGS user and all this rooting and ADB stuff is quite beyond me. All I want is a simple way to update Swype that came pre-installed and apparently that is not possible.
Has anyone removed the current swype and replaced it with the newest beta?
[edit] Nevermind, found out by doing a little more digging. You can remove it and put in the newest version. [/edit]
Yup did it today. Took a couple of reboots though to get everything working properly. I like having the old look again
Maybe you can root first you phone, and with TitaniumBackup you turn system app into user's. They you can update. Just wondering.
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I felt it was better than starting a new one.
So how exactly did you replace the verizon swype with the real swype?
I just updated to .890, then rerooted with one-click, and removed the built in swype with the bloat removal script. I tried installing the swype beta from the swype website, but every time I try to switch to it, swype force closes. The swype installer ran fine, and it says swype is installed, but I can't switch input methods, and I can't load the swype settings page from Language and Keyboard.
What did I do wrong??
Edit: ok, I got it, by uninstalling/reinstalling the swype beta, and using root explorer to delete libswypecore.so from system/lib between installs. Posting that here, in case anyone else has the same issue.
I factory reset my fone since the battery backup was very low.
Now i cant install swype either from their website, or anywhere else.I have tried pushing the swype apk fro root explorer, it just FC on me
Can some1 kindly provide me apk or Zip file for swype?
Pls, this is urgent!!!
Current spec: Insanity Rom with stock kernel
cant get swype on Insanity rom?
Need you to help you onthis asap please
I need this **** fixed badly, thanks
Did you try using Swype Installer?
Uninstalling swype generally goes this way:
with some explorer able of browsing root:
- dig into system/app and delete swype.apk
- dig into system/lib and delete libswype (and anything with swype in the name)
Go to http://beta.swype.com/ and register or login. Follow the instructions, it will envolve opening a link in your phone, downloading swype installer, picking the correct version of swype for you and let it work it's magic. You'll have swype installed by the end of it. Some kind of fast wireless access on your phone is very recomended.
Whenever i had swype installing problems, the trick was always deleting libswype files before trying a new install.
The only thing against this method is that you'll get the latest swype available. Which i believe it works far worse than the older ones available in any smasung stock rom (for my language, at least)
swype install
thats the 1 mate, we got it working, superb
now this sh*t is workin again
