Does anyone know where swype vocabulary is stored? cause i have added ALOT of words into my swype dictionary and it would be a waste if it all got erased when updating a new firmware.
Moreover, can anybody show how one can put the stored swype vocab into the new flashed firmware?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
I'm pretty sure that if you use Titanium Backup to back up your Swype, it will back up the dictionary and so on, as Titanium backs up the app data along with the app itself.
are you sure??? if thats the case then thanks a lot!

Hi guys
I'm still looking for the right rom for me so I flash different ones every now and then. The problem is with full wipe because for certain apps I would like to keep all settings and changes. In WinMo settings could really be anywhere - certain "ini" files or some entries in registry, it differed from app to app.
How do I do this on Android?
thanks
It would be stored in /data
I have found folders /data/data/package_name - would that be it? So I just copy contents of these folders and copy back on a fresh rom after the app has been installed again?
Edit: Yes, it worked for Vexed and SNESoid
There are a few good back-up apps on the market. I use Titanium which you can reinstall the app+data or just restore data. It also restores system settings and all that. The only problem it gives me, it causes problems with the market after a full restore so i only use the "restore data" features on apps. Hope this helps.
Does anyone have the TouchWizContacts.apk file that they can share with me? I think that's what it should be called - correct me if I'm wrong. I believe it should be in /system/app
I deleted my contacts application using Titanium Backup. Oh, it's backed up, but for some reason, only the data, not the app. I deleted it because I found a different contacts app I like better, but I'm pretty sure that the lack of the stock app is causing my phone some troubles right now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

system apps (like swype) can't be backed up with titanium (at least with the free version, might be different for donate version). do a search for "captivate system dump" and it will take you to a thread with system dumps for JF6/JH2/JH3
find the one you're currently running and find the missing system app and copy it back over
Well, that explains it. Thanks. And thanks for the tip - I'm on it.
Will the latest beta install on our SGS, or is Swype only updatable why rom updates?
the latest swype beta looks much better than what we have on ur SGS....anyway to update to that?
I would like it too

I hope so. My Swype is rubbish since upgrading to FroYo. It never seems to find the correct word even tho im ultra careful when swyping! Never had so many problems when I was on Eclair version...
Ok, I managed to get rid of the built in Swype and replaced with the latest Swype beta.
Currently it's version Swype v2.10.52.13753 iirc. You should be able to find it with Google.
Also, u need Titanium Backup or SystemApp Remover, or whatever app you know can uninstall system apps. A filemanager that can delete system files is also needed, like Root Explorer.
I'm using Titanium Backup (the free version should be work fine).
1) First change to another keyboard to be safe.
2) Press the Backup/Restore tab at the top, scroll to Swype. Click on it.
3) To be safe, make a backup of Swype. Then Wipe Data and Delete it. It should be dimmed and marked out after deletion.
4) Using Root Explorer, delete \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so. To be safe, make a copy of it to ur sdcard in case anything goes south.
5) Reboot.
6) Now you should be able to install the latest Swype beta without any problems, you will need to enable it in settings after that to use it.
Did not experience any force closes or quirks so far....hope it works for u guys too. In case of any problems, going backwards to restore libSwypeCore.so and Swype via Titanium Backup shouldn't be too hard.

I found that and 'fixed' it by going to 'Settings > Locale and Text > Swype'
Then when in Swype options, open the speed vs accuracy option and slide the bar all the way to the right to the 'Error Tolerance' side of the slider...this made a significant difference for me.

My phone got stuck at the S logo screen the first time I installed this. I was forced to do a factory reset which fixed the issue, but all was lost

Your method worked perfectly for me! Thanks a lot! Im using it on a i9003 btw...
Seems good to use, like the voice input on this though! Comes in so handy, the pre-installed one didn't have this feature... So far so good, Only I prefered the darker color of the original one, Can this be themed?
another way good for noobs like me....
I managed to get the most current release version working in a more elementary fashion:
1. Uninstall swype as described in previous posts
2. Go to beta.swype.com
3. Register for the download
4. Follow the install guide beta.swype.com/android/welcome/detailed/
Note: make sure you have the standard android internet browser set as your default before following the email link, if it isn't, the download won't work and you will have to delete/uninstall all swype related files again. To set the browser default, go to settings/applications/manage apps/ then scroll to your current browser (for me skyfire), click on it and then select 'clear default'
And after completing all the prompts in the install guide, all should be good! Latest version 3.6.84.26668.t100.26701 just installed and working great for me. Hope this helps, and enjoy not having that freakin irritational "hidden word" tip ever again!
Hey guys whats the best way or is there a way to restore all your contacts and text messages after rom flash. After every flash I have to redo all my contacts with photos and lose all texts, I use titanium back up for the apps but they say not to restore system data with tibu. thanks
The green system settings should be ok to restore, [sms/mms/apn] dialer storage will have your texts,.and contact storage will have your contacts.
Just restore those individually. Works for me.
i keep all my contacts in google so i never have to restore those, and for sms/mms/call log backup and restores i use
sms backup +

I use My Backup Root. When you back up Data (not apk data), you are given a choice of what you want to back up. When you restore data, you are also given a choice of what to restore.
When you restore APK+ Data, you are restoring data from the apks, not system data (with My Backup, TiBu may be different).
The only downside to my backup is most roms don't preload it like tibu. You gave to download from market after every flash.
If this has been any help, please don't forget to hit Thank You.

if you copy the apk somewhere and put it in /data/app in the rom zip before you flash you won't have to download it from the market. Fyi
Interesting, anyways i just used Ti-Backup to reload my text messages
I backed up:
[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2.1
And have none of my text messages on the new ROM. Granted it's nice to clear out, I had some things I wanted to keep
Should I have backed up:
[SMS/MMS PREFS] Messaging 2.2.1
Instead for future reference and purposes?

Have you rebooted since restoring that data? If not, do it.
Android Manager for me. No Google cloud needed. Also, you can export your contacts to a .vcf file before you flash and restore from it after. Do this within the Contacts app.
Yeah... the rebooting thing. My ignorance, and my apologies. All texts are back now

What things CAN i backup with TiBU, and i have been playing with sgs tools, how does the homescreen back up work
That's what I did. Long press .vcf and save to phone. Quick n easy.

It backs up your home screen, minus widgets. But I think it only works on touchwiz launchers.
And you can back up almost everything, contacts sms, apps, etc.for a detailed list, look on the market page.
If I'm wrong, those with more knowledge please clarify.

Hi guys, I am not a very "backup" guy, I almost wipe everytime I flash a rom to avoid problems.
But I am getting tired of having to do everyhting (arranging icons , put some wifi passwords, etc), what is the best way to backup that doesn't hassle with new roms?
Titanium backup?I even have the full version (bought it more do delete some apps).
Or HTC Backup?
I am "afraid" of backing up and overwriting newer version of apps without older ones for example, is there a "script" for importing only settings of something?

I use titanium, but I NEVER restore apps anymore with TB because I suspect battery drain will occur if I do. I reinstall them from market. after I started doing this I get perfect battery life. The only thing I restore is apps data only. Remember that TB backs up both app with its data and settings. Then you can choose what to restore, app, data or both.
SMS and WIFI access points I also backup with titanium.
As for launcher I use Nova. Which has its own backup solution. you save your layout, icons.. pretty much everything except some widgets to SD. On the other hand If you love sense launcher, I don't know if it still works, but you can try back it up with TB. Used to work on previous Android OS.
I guess there are easier ways, but I have never bothered. HTC backup I have never tried. Don't trust solutions like these anyways.
