FRF83 and Swype - Incompatible?

heya,
I've just updated to FRF83, following the excellent instructions here:
http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...ussion/7103-update-froyo-2-2-frf83-frf72.html
I've got an official build of Swype, from their beta program, and I've just noticed that after my reboot, it doesn't seem to work.
When you try to swype something the border to the keyboard flashes blue once, then nothing happens. I switched Input Method to Android Keyboard, then back to Swype, still no difference.
Is anybody who has Swype and has upgraded to FRF83 able to verify this?
Cheers,
Victor

I had this issue when I switched to an FRF72 build. The way I fixed was to uninstall Swype, then use the installer stub you can get from their website to re-download and install the keyboard.

I think you have to reinstall. Thats exactly when i upgraded to FRF72, just reinstall swype by following the instructions on how to do so on the Swype web site.

Err, did u try uninstalling swype and reinstalling it from the swype installer?

Reinstall swype with the inataller and it will work fine

heya,
Yup, a reinstall fixed it =).
Thanks to all for the advice.
I'm just curious though, why is it that this was the only app that needed to be reinstalled?
Cheers,
Victor

Swype works perfect on FRF83 (after a reinstall of course). I have been using it all morning

i think if you use the "full update.zip", some library will be delete.. also the LWPs of Galaxy S goes in FC with the full update, just reinstall or copy the missing libs fix the problem

Quick tip: If you are one of the hackables who used pm setInstallLocation = 2 to allow SD card installation, then the Swype install will automagically go to your SD card. Not good. Make sure you go to manage applications and move it back to the phone. Otherwise the phone will forget you enabled Swype at every reboot.

Thank god swype still works... Just went 1 day w/out swype and i felt the crunch...

[ROM]Touch_of_Photons (BETA) v1

First and foremost I take no credit for anything contained in this ROM. I have taken bits and pieces from various ROMs I like and rolled my own.
The base is Binny's stock ROM.
LauncherPro from unrevolved by ozzeh
Has Both HTC and Android Music apps (in case someone, like me, prefers the old one)
Rosie and All Rosie widgets removed
WiFi Tether
TouchFlo port from Samsung included (choose launcher for yourself)
Again, all credit to the Devs listed above. I am no Dev myself, only a chef cooking up something to my own liking and thought I would share.
Anybody wanna test for me?
Download here
Installation...
Copy TouchOfPhotons-v1.zip to your SDCARD and reboot into Clockwork recovery. Then Install Zip and Choose Zip from SDCARD.
Be sure to take a Nandroid Backup and WIPE FIRST!
So far everything seems to be working fine for me...WiFi, BT, etc...
I would recommend Hydra's Undervolt with Wireless-N kernel here. This just needs to be installed like any other zip using Clockwork recovery.
Also I would recommend the MultiTouch Keyboard DANESHM90 managed to pull from the Droid-X here. This can be installed with Astro or an equivalent of your choice.
Thanks to all in the community. I am glad to be a part of it!
UPDATE.... Kernel link above may not work consistently so I am attaching the zip.
For those requesting it, I am attaching the TouchFlo Launcher. Just install via Astro or similar.
UPDATE - 7/7 --- Thanks to bowtiedeuce for pointing out the fix scuccia found for the Facebook constantly syncing issue. I am attaching that patch here (full credit to him, of course). Just install it like any other zip from your sdcard using clockworkmod recovery (install over your current setup, no wipe) and it should resolve the sync issue. Future releases will not have this bug.

No screenshots? It seems like most of the android roms have no screen shots.

I'm downloading it right now. I'll post feedback

Yeah,
Sorry about that. Was headed out the door and wanted to get something up for you guys before I left.
Anywhoo, here are some screenies. You can see I'm using TouchFlo primarily.

Oh, and the MT keyboard I provided a link to...
BTW....
The Live Wallpapers work great with the TouchFlo launcher.

I think I'm going to have to try ,this sounds great thank you looks good to

The rom is actually really nice an smooth. But its just not for me. I do recommend to at least try this rom. Good work man keep up the great work.

I'm loving this ROM! Just got everything set up on it...
Couple things though... I'm having a hard time pushing a custom bootanimation.zip to /data/local
I had no problem doing it on a just a plain rooted Inc, but I can't with this...
Another would be requesting to get the 2.1 lock screen and not the HTC one... Thanks! Awesome work, keep it up!

each time i download this file ROM and i try to install it, i get an error when it is trying to write to BOOT that says E: No Room Left on Device, failure at Line 394. Has anyone else seen this and if so, have they figured out how to fix it? I have wiped the boot partition and completely formated my whole system. Still the same error, i also redownloaded the file 3 times and still the same issue.

i am not really a nUbcake either...so that is making me kinda mad. I even messed with the update-script file to see if i could comment out the line that was erroring out, but it was to no avail. Could someone post a nandroid backup of the rom that i could try?
to clarify it is giving me an error saying "Error writing to Boot"
EDIT: got it working by removing the write_raw_image line at the end of the update_script

That's strange. I'm getting an error trying to use that kernel link on my PC but if I click it on my phone (using the XDA app) it downloads. I'll try to get a mirror up.
EDIT - Actually just attached the kernel to the OP.

Using this ROM with the Droid-X boot up sound and animation and the undervolt-N kernel. Very nice! My favorite so far and I have tried them all.
Thanks photonmedia!

Im had the same issue as ejlax did. However after the reboot everything seems to be there. Is there anything that didnt install after that error?

IF anything, I would says possibly the kernel (based on the error he says he got), but I would recommend you use the kernel attached in the OP anyway, so....
Really I don't know why you two are getting those errors and not the others who are testing, though. You are wiping before you install, right? Always the best practice: Nandroid Backup + Wipe.

I've been using it for most of the day - no issues. Phone, Google Voice, SIP phone, BT - looks flawless, so far...

Gingerbread keyboard

EDIT: Keyboard for sense ROMS on page 5. Here is fabolous' gingerbread keyboard (best one out). Flash through clockwork; replaces stock android keyboard. Use at own risk.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-applications/103389-mod-gingerbread-2-3-keyboard-w-working-predictions.html

The most accurate how-to for installing the Gingerbread keyboard on rooted 2.2 devices is at this link on BriefMobile. The ROM linked there has been fixed to include auto-correct. It works wonderfully on my Aria.
NOTE: Go to the Android Market and install the new Voice Search first. AppBrain will not recognize the update - go straight to the Market page and install the new version, THEN go to CWM Recovery, Nandroid backup, then flash the keyboard ROM.

nice going, can't believe the keyboard from 2.3 is already out...works great

It's a huge improvement, especially having common punctuation marks appear above the main QWERTY keys, and the spacing between keys. Not to mention the darker background provides better contrast, especially with low backlight settings.

Also just got Fabolous's fixed version working. His version includes autocorrect, vs. the version featured on LifeHacker.com, which I couldn't even install (status 0 error message).
Also FYI, the punctuation above the keyboard was also present in the 2.2 keyboard on CyanogenMod 6.0-6.1.

I just installed this, I am kind of on the fence with it. It seems the predictions are not as good as they used to be with the other keyboard!

Hey, I'm having issues installing this one. Running CM 6.1. I cannot place files into my root folder. I have no issues booting into CWM recovery and installing things, but if it's installed from outside the root folder you get an error 0. So how do I place the damn zip in the root folder? I can't touch the folder with Astro File Manager or even Droid Explorer. Even w/ root

Had the same problem..i assume your using the original file from the first gingerbread keyboard posting, use the fabolous-GB-KB fixed one...

OK the stock keyboard keeps showing up as an option along with the gingerbread keyboard...this is prob why mine force closes when i type anything. So i spose my problem lies in the stock keyboard not being replaced??? HELP!!!

Thanks everyone, I removed swype with TiBu and the Beta then installed perfectly. I did do a reboot after uninstall and before new install.

I removed swype.apk and libswypecor thing via root explorer.
Then I went to the website and got my swype installer.
I opened the installer and logged in.
Clicked the full version.
It said downloading.
Then it went to the package installer.
I clicked install.
It said installing.
Then it says application not installed.

UPDATE: it somehow worked when i did it again. Now i have swype. But it still doesnt let me swype. I can only press on each letter for typing. If i swype the edges flash a blue light.... Help....

My Stupid friend deleted dialer.apk.....

My buddy, has an OG Droid. It's a 'spare' phone and not activated...its mostly used as a web browsing (wifi) device. Well, I rooted it for him and got him a root-enabled application remover...well, he 'accidentally' removed dialer.apk. He is not sure what version of android he was on, but I assume it was 2.2 (the latest official firmware).
Can someone either a) post a version or dialer.apk or let me know where I can find it so I can walk him through putting that back on the phone by way of adb. Or b) let me know what I can do to help him with this. He told me he did do a hardware reset, but it made no difference, dialer.apk is still missing.
Now I'm not exactly sure he did a true hardware reset/recovery.
Any ideas? suggestions?
Thanks in advance....

Hi, I am the dumb friend that has made a fatal mistake. I was trying to strip my Android of unwanted apps so I could take out my memory card and use it elsewhere. When I was doing this I accidentally deleted dialer. Now when I turn turn on phone a message comes up and tells me dialer is not working and thus I choose force close. Well the problem is this message locks up my phone as its continuously comes back.
I have tried hard reset and this did not work. I also was not paying attention so I did not backup Dialer either
Any and all help is much appreciated for this noob.

If you let me know which sbf you are using, i can extract it for you. btw, is there a dialer.apk in droid? Because the milestone only has Contacts.apk and Phone.apk. I thought dialer.apk was there only in motoblur devices. OG Droid is not one of them.
IF you dont know which rom you are running on your phone, just go to Settings->About Phone, scroll down to the bottom and post a screenshot of your screen.
Update : I just downloaded and unpacked the original Verizon Droid 2.2 sbf from here and i can confirm that there is no dialer.apk in there. Also it is odexed. You are not running the official 2.2 update.

You have the following options.
You can flash the official sbf using rsdlite.
If you have installed clockworkmod recovery, I can make a flashable update for you.
You can use rootexplorer to copy the contacts and phone apps to your system folder.
You can use adb to push the apps to system partition.
Best option is to flash sbf. You can then root your phone using z4root/universal androot or superoneclick root. Then install rom manager and then flash whatever custom rom you want.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Use the attached guide to flash the official 2.2 sbf if your phone is a verizon droid. Follow procedure and please note that all risk that comes with this is yours. If you follow procedure, you shouldn't have any problems.

I'm not to worried about contacts or apps because this is my 'gaming' droid.Even though the Ram(if that is what it is called) is a bit small and can not run every game.Atm I have downloaded rsdlite 4.5.3 and will try to begin to 'flash' this droid. This droid was rooted before if that is any help.
