I can't seem to get swype beta working after flashing cm7 stable. Uninstalled installer and swype. Had new invitation email sent, no good. It says that it is configured for another device. My wife may kill me if I can't get it working on her phone. Thanks.
Wait so you installed it fresh? If that doesn't work, you could try (after install) long press text box, select standard kb, long press again, select swype. If you were coming from another version of 2.3 gingerbread to CM7 you should be able to JUST do the text box fix, so if that's the case nand back and flashover, try it. If not, I guess try again from scratch. Numerous people (myself included) are running the latest swype beta on the latest CM7/variant. Good luck.
EDIT: woot! 2000th post and it wasn't mean
Get titanium, totally remove anything to do with swype and reinstall. It will eventually work. I have had this issue with swype in the past.
Edit : Woot! 2720th post and it wasn't mean, either.

Restoring apps via a backup can cause huge problems. the best advice I can give you it to install the apk from scratch. Also for keyboards to remain as your "default", it must be installed on your internal memory
i am getting a similar thing.
i have installed swype (internal memory) it is ticked in keyboard settings but when i select input method to change keyboards nothing happens
CM6.1 RC1
EDIT bit more research found this: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8900-cannot-switch-input-method-cm-61-rc1-to-swift-key/
I have not received a text for about 3 days. It started when my sister asked why I hadn't responded to hers. I figured it was just a hiccup on the network. I was able to send her a text fine and make and receive calls fine, but no texts come in. I'm running on CM6.1 and hadn't had any problems with it. I tried uninstalling recent applications, and I even did a factory wipe and re-install of my ROM and mods, as well as all of my apps and I'm still not having any luck. I haven't yet called Sprint, as I'm afraid that they won't know anything or will give me grief for using a non-stock software (perhaps they won't even know); or maybe I'll just stop into the store sometime soon.
Anyway, I've read a few things about this, such as people removing apps and it alleviating the problem. I figured it was just a space issue, like once the phone dips under a certain amount of on-board storage it doesn't download them. I had a similar problem where it wouldn't sync e-mails until I got 2.2 firmware and did App2SD. But my storage isn't really low enough for that to make sense. I tried re-installing the radio that I use to no avail... I just really can't figure this out.
If anyone could give me a leg up on this problem, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks,
Mike
What rom are you running? Is your prl up to date? Current is 60674. Nand, flash a Sense rom, send and receive a few texts, update your profile and prl, then nand restore back to your rom. People have had success with that.

I'm running the latest Cyanogenmod that is listed for my phone, which is 6.1.0, released about 2 weeks before I started experiencing the problem. I have the PRL file and have it on my SD card. Is there any way to do this without flashing to a different ROM?
I had the same problem. Downloaded Fresh ROM. Did a nandroid, flashed Fresh, updated prl, opened maps for a good GPS lock for safe measure, then just restored my nandroid of Cyanogen. Worked flawlessly, and took 20 minutes. Definately the best fix, and the nandroid restores everything to to the way it was, so it's no headache at all.
I'm downloading the stock RUU and I have Fresh downloaded. Nandroid keeps getting stuck on data... about to just go for it.
Don't flash the stock RUU or you'll have to re root.
Well that's not too hard. But what sucks is when Fresh Sense keeps crashing... then when you go to restore, you get an MD5 mismatch... Yeah, it won't restore my backup because it didn't complete and got stuck. Looks like I'm wiping and re-flashing CM6.... again.
Well, somehow I had a working backup from yesterday, the 24th, at some point. It won't be exactly where I left it... but it'll be close. Hopefully I got all the updates I needed via Fresh. Fingers crossed.
The way I got it to work was to flash a Sense ROM. As soon as the ROM loaded, all the texts came in. Also while on Sense, update your PRL.

I need help please. My phone is not in a good place.
Here's my current state:
AOSP 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) [02/09/2011] installed
Home Button doesn't work
Phone Button doesn't work
No Market app installed so can't download anything
Browser works
Incoming calls don't work
Outgoing calls do work
Lock screen doesn't show up
Probably many more issues with things I haven't tested
Here's how I got there:
1) Installed AOSP 2.3.2 (Gingerbread) [02/09/2011] with Firerat's Mod
2) Everything seemingly worked well. Was prompted by Market to install all of the google apps
3) The apps from Marketplace didn't install. I ended up finding the "fix the Market" link on the Wiki and that solved the problem
4) Installed the core apps but some wouldn't install - like Voice Search - failing with an Insufficient Space error I believe
5) Started revisiting the parameters for the Firerat mod (mtdpartmap.txt) and reflashing the FR-boot
6) Didn't solve problem so decided to flash/wipe/reinstall AOSP 2.3.2 again
7) Got me to the state I'm in now. I tried 3 more times, still this is happening.
Going to try now with the 20110210 build and see if that's better. I see there's a fix for the lock screen so maybe it's related. Meanwhile, has anyone seen these symptoms before?
Thanks!

Sorry to hear about that, but I would recommend you to follow the steps from here: http://romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_another_ROM. Try doing it without Firerat's MOD. Perform step # 2 - 2 to 3 times, before you flash the ROM.
Try and report back. Hope it helps.
SOLVED
2/10/2011 update solves this problem!
When you flash a different Ron, you need to go through the whole from process starting with fr- recovery after wiping/formatting everything. I have had troubles with 2/10. Maybe bad download. I get a weird keyboard error and it wants to send Google a report and can't get by that to start signing in.
I flashed on top of 2/6 yesterday, but still had VVM problems. I finally got that sorted out with 2nd method in GB wiki and started new TB folder.

My girlfriend has the G1 with stock 1.6 and I believe the makers of Words With Friends (Zynga) removed the app from 1.6 compatibility - it now requires 2.1 and above. She therefore can no longer download it from the Market.
This is a free app so there is no copyright or piracy issue here. I did find an APK via Google, but it has strange bugs (not the usual bugs with this app) such as she ends up in a game where it is me vs. me, but not her. Have tried all manner of uninstalls, reinstalls, and new WWF accounts. Must be because it is not designed for 1.6 any more.
Does anyone have access to the last well-behaved APK for Android 1.6? It used to work perfectly fine for her.
Hmm, why not just upgrade her G1 to the current version of ROM? Then she won't have that problem. Just curious.
Thanks. Unless I'm mistaken, 1.6 was the last official release for the G1 from Google, no?
I did upgrade another G1 to the Cyanogen version of Froyo, but it always ran slow, got worse, and the user ended up getting rid of it due to this, so I am cautious.
In short, is there a simple ROM that will bring her up to 2.1 on the G1, without slowing the phone down any more than it currently does?
Preferably a ROM I can just download and install via the update.zip method, without all the rooting and hacking. Thanks!
Yes, 1.6 is the official release by google. If you are expecting them to release the next one that will include 2.x, you might not even see it.
Even with 1.6 it's still slow (IMO). And you can't load any other apps on because most of the apps now a day required 2.x and above to work.
Since you asked, I recommend SuperAosp, and it's currently has 2.3 on it. I have been using it since March and loving it. Default load already is fast. With radio 2708/SPL 13d and the 15MB-boot from the DEV. You can also tweak it more for better performance, etc...
As far as not rooting, to my knowledge that's probably impossible. You will required to root in order to load any ROM.
Thanks! Is there any simple step-by-step guide to install it, using a Mac? I can mount the SD card on the Mac so simple file operations are fine.
I'm not sure where to get the appropriate Radio zip for example.
Thanks!
I actually took the plunge and installed the recommended SuperAosp from stock 1.6, and Words with Friends wont let me log in. I tried WWF 3.34 and 3.20 and both of them let you put email in and then it asks for new user name. You put it in and it goes back to the email. I've tried multiple emails and user names & it just goes right back. So if anyone is using a rom that works with WWF would love to know.
I ended up installing ezterry's Froyo and it works great! Make sure you wipe all data and caches first.

Oops sorry, I don't know how I missed this. It should work. I am using it. It's because your user name is taken. I ran into that problem before. I am currently using it with SuperAosp 6.4.2.
My problem is now in some of the game. the letter that was played will not show up from my opponent. It will not display correctly.
i downloaded and have been running asops 2.2 rom but i just changed my phone number with sprint and I cant figure out how to update the msid. obviously sprint cant help me since im not using stock rom. anyone know where to look or an app i can download, because under settings: about phone: phone status: shows my old phone number, and i cant make calls or send msgs because of it.
they kept giving me ## codes but they wont work it just tries to dial the number.
Sorry woulda responded sooner, been busy. You need to flash a sense rom to use dialer codes our have sprint modify the phone or account info tied to it.
ugh... ok can you recommend a quick and simple rom so i can do that real quick
hate flashing it takes forever without a highspeed usb. anyways, downloading a sense rom now. thanks
arrg! ok i downloaded and flashed over to herocs 2.2 sense rom, tried doing the ## codes and nothing happens.
anyone??? im kinda screwed here.. cant use my phone until i get the prl updated
If all you need to do is update prl, and you have a sense rom flashed, you can do that from phone settings. I believe it is under "about phone".

Just use LiquidSense to update it.
what is liquidsense?
this is the rom i flashed to for temporary purposes
It is a 2.1 Sense ROM that can be found in the Development section.
well i guess no need to worry about this anymore, the charging dock on my phone is now broken or something because nothing will charge my phone.
Try a different battery. Or a different usb cable.
Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
ok i was in panic mode earlier being without my phone and all...
got liquidsense, updated all info. all good there. however when i flashed back to aosp rom its suddenly really glitchy, i cant get passed the "touch the android" set up screen!
attempting to reflash and see if that helps any...
nope....man this is a nightmare. btw gave thanks to everyone who replied in this post.
well... i flashed back to LS and even that one glitches out at the set up menu. so im still nowhere with my phone.
**UPDATE**
i found a backup copy of aosp rom that i originally downloaded in another folder on my sd. everything is working just fine now couldn't have done this without your help (all of you)

Glad you got it up and running.
First Just for your future reference so your not crappin all over yourself.lol (Been there) If you haven't already make a nadroid of the LS Rom or sense Rom that you used.
Second,I believe alot of the people around here that flash between sense and CM and AOSP do a factory rest or wipe from fastboot(look in this guide for instructions on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843 by forum memeber il Duce )the reason being is that (from what I've read) is that sense roms leave bits and pieces of files behind that can corrupt a flash,or make you phone wonky after it boots up.
P.S. If you ever have to RUU or unroot when you re-root makea nandroid of that after you root and keep it some where safe so you can go back to it.
Yes, wipe data, cache, and dalvik every time you change roms. Especially between sense and aosp. The only exception us when flashing an update to the rom you're currently running. Even then, it may require a cache and dalvik wipe. Wipes are not necessary when restoring a nand. Also, keeping a sense nand is a good idea, as out makes it quicker when prl updates are needed.
