stock android or swype apk?

Does anyone know where I can find the stock android or a working swype apk? the htc keyboard is frustrating me with all its lag. I've been searching high and low for the stock keyboard with no avail, and the only swype apk I have found that didn't have a resolution problem said my trial period had ended so it wouldn't work at all.
If any of you guys could help with either of these it would really help me out.

Here is a working swype. It's got the HTC skin though. The original is somewhere in the Themes and Apps section.

Thank you kind sir. This is working so much better than the htc keyboard.
If anyone has the stock apk I think it would still be nice just to have it on my phone cause I just like to have everything

Swype Needs Upgrade
Hi Newbie Here,
Hello to everyone. I would just like to say that I am very impressed with the site, good work guys (oops, sorry and gals) keep it up.
I have just downloaded the swype app and it is not working it says:"Your trial period has ended. Please upgrade your copy of Swype". Can you please tell me how to upgrade it. I am new to the Android OS so any easy input would be appreciated.
regards

Give this a try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6022515&postcount=134

yes, but you'll also need to follow this.
1. download .apk from above link
2. put it on root of your sdcard
3. download apps installer from market.
4. run apps installer, when it asks for settings to turn on unknown apps do it.
5. run apps installer again and you'll see your apk on sd card. just click on it and install.
6. go to settings->keyboard, and turn on swype.
7. open any message or anywhere you can type some thing to bring up keyboard.
8. double click and hold in text area.
9. select input method and then swype.
shew... that should do it.

Black Stock Keyboard
Attached is the Stock Keyboard (to the best of my knowledge) and the files associated with it, I extracted it but am currently unable to get my APK toolset to repackage the apk correctly.
Basically, it just needs polished and renamed in XML coding to something like "Bionix Stock Black"

I get "Application not installed"
I used an old version that expired, and now I'm getting the "Application not installed" thing, any ideas?
Maybe I should delete the remains of the expired version, but idk how.

[Q] How to add swype keyboard to Precision 3.5

Hi, I've searched, read, looked - and I'm not finding out how to do this. I've run several roms - and am liking the Precision line - but in the latest one, the swype keyboard was removed...and I really like the swype keyboard. Are there directions on how to get this working in my setup once I've flashed to the Precision 3.5 rom? I cannot figure out how to get a swype keyboard added - regardless of the rom, if it's not already there.....
Currently I'm running one of the other roms - just because I cannot figure out how to get this working. Sorry if I've missed something, I appreciate the time and work ya'll do - so trying to make as much effort as possible before asking repeat questions.
Cheers!

In the ROM you are using now get "super user" access (though I bet you already have it). Then download a file manager that will show root files (I use "Root Explorer" but it is a paid app); the only free file manager that I know of that will give R/W access to the root folders is "Android Mate" (just watch out it tries to be a little more than just a file manager and will try to become your home app, so don't let that happen).
Navigate in your current ROM to "/system/app" and find "swype.apk", then copy it to your external sd card so you will still have it when you load your new ROM.
Load the ROM you want and get "super user" access, download the file manager you used above (Paid or Free), go to your external sd card and copy the "swype.apk", navigate to "/system/app" and paste.
You should now be able to select and use your swype keyboard!

You can also use the free app Super Manager but it also tries to be more than a root explorer. Imo root explorer is well worth paying for.

Jeff,
Thanks - did that; so I'll reflash and try that. Do you know, will this approach work for the life wallpapers also. I started searching for that and gave up since that wasn't a rom deal breaker for me. :/
Thanks again!

Trying to use both the free apps failed - i.e. copying and pasting the Swype.apk does nothing i.e. I'm not ending up with this .apk in my system folder or any other folder I try. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, if you can't actually do this, or what. I don't want to buy something to try and change my keyboard....kinda silly TBH. Anyone know what might be going on?
Cheers!

Easiest way to get swype, I'm using precision as well, google swype beta then register and download swype installer, next install swype installer then run it login with user name and password you registered with it will bring up two options select either then download the rest is self explanitory.

[Q] Write and Go (Samsung default app) for download

Hi, I´m using Darky´s Gingerbread ROM and there isn´t any "Write and Go" application.
I want this application back because it´s really easy to post something to the facebook wall. Could you please someone copy this application from the system and put it here for download for me?
EDIT: Please I need it :/ the installer apk from /system/app would be just fine

I have got it from XWJS5 in Romkitchen.

Thanks, but it seems it isn´t working for me. I get "Application not installed." error message :/

I think you have to copy it directly in /system/app/ with rootexplorer (after mounting system R/W)

I tried it, it doesn´t copy anything.

Try to download it from Romkitchen as an update.zip then flash it with CWM!

quick question Gerusz,
when i goto romkitchen, click on galaxy s, then on generate, then on the apps tab, then select only flash and go, it tells me that if i dont select a launcher my phone wil be unusable. How to i create an update.zip that ISN"T trying to replace my entire ROM?
thanks in advance!

Hey I have the same problem, using darky rom and i couldnt find this app anymore. Any solution yet? been searching for quite some time

I know this is an old thread, but just thought that you guys on darky ROM should know that all of these apps are available and installed on your phone on your SD card. They will be in a folder for darkyROM and they will be saved in system/apps within that folder. You use and always should use the darkyROM tool available from the market and it will add or remove any system app you want and it backs them up (so if you remove something you shouldn't you can re-install again) and also it does the same for user apps too. It has now been suceeded by the darkyOTA application though which provides Over The Air updates for ROM related stuff. All support and info is located on the darkyROM forums to check out

[Q] How do I set a default home with a rom ?

I installed Gingercruzt rom and Arc Launcher Transparency theme. But when I press the Home button, there is a pop-up with the last applications. When I turn off the phone, home theme of gingercruzt comes back. I tried with " Home switcher " but nothing happens.

boot into recovery
full wipe (factory reset)
reboot
install your arc launcher again
when you pressing home key make sure you not hold it
when you hold afew moment it become recently app
(so press once)
pop up screen will come out (it will ask launch by what?)
sellect arc launcher if you want it and make sure u click on the make it default
hope this can solve your pain

hf you have any problem teel me

I tried but it doesn't work nothing happens when I push once on home button.
I have two others questions :

- how do I take off the sound when the phone is started ?

1- are u using app2sd or something similar? and u need ext2/ ext3/ ext4 on your sdcard
2- what rom you wearing rite now?

1) No I don't have any application like that. I just move on the games with parameters-> applications -> manage the applications
2) I have the R8

you have to play with unlock boot loader (be carefull)
flashing kernel (easy)
partitioning sdcard (ext2/ext3/ext4) (lot steps)
or
Download all the app U like with browser instead market
(because when download using market we don't have the installer for the app)
download the app.apk and save it in one folder and just name it apk folder..
so everytime u change your rom, u can simply instal it again and again, and again..
I just use this trick!!

Ok I will do it. Do you know some websites with apk ?
And the sound at the starting of the phone do you know how to take it off ?

some app.apk u can simply google it..
but almost paid app.apk are not allowed!
I just buy a paid app.apk dvd with my friend
About the boot sound U have to search it your self..
I'm not sure about your rom rite now (R8)??
but u can try this
install root explorer (phone need rooted)
(this app same like file manager but it can see phone and system files)
you can simply search the boot animation folder
on phone directory instead sdcard
search one by one folder
when u get the boot sound or boot animation u can simply delete
(If can't delete) click on "mount RW" on the top right
sory long explaination..
and HIT Thanks twise!!

[Q] Lost torch after rooting.

Just rooted my new Note using Dr.Ketan's guide. All went perfectly well and quick. Big thanks to him.
Reinstalled same stock ROM( Austria). Strange thing: The Samsung application Torch has disappeared. Not a big deal, I know there are tons of them in Plays store.
I liked that one because it had 3 levels of brightness. Just curious: did it happen to anyone?

i have same problem.
i think you downgraded to older ROM (maybe base on 2.3.5) which not included torch app

I downgrated to older rom to get it rooted, but after I flashed exactly same rom, that i had before rooting.

Look if you still have the app in /system/app..
What kernel do you have? Some said that app does not work with kernels other than CF-Root and IIRC latest franco..

I have pda N7000XXLC1, PHONE N7000XXLB2, CSC N7000XXLB3,
It is exactly as before rooting.
kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701
I can't find system folder. Don't see the torch in Titanium backup

Go to Settings > About Phone and see what's under kernel..
Use a file manager with root privileges (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer etc) and navigate to /system/app and look there
If you don't find it, open your backup zip with 7zip (or any ROM zip that you know it has that app) and copy the apk from there to your /system/app folder using one of the file managers mentioned above and set permissions like the other apks and reboot..

I know, that my rom had it and doesn't have it now..

it is not in /system/app. Sorry for the dumb question, but where my backup zip. suppose to be? thanks

Ohh..I assumed you made a backup before flashing..
I just check an old LB1 ROM I have and there is an apk named torchwidget.apk I think it's what you're looking for, check if you already have it but if you don't I'll upload it for you..

no, I didn't do backup because there is the same rom in Doctors list, so i flashed it after rooting. I checked in my apps, i don't have it. If you upload it, it would be great. thanks

I appologize, I do have it in system/apps, but it doesn't run for some reason

Here is the file:
Download HERE
- Move that file to your sd card
- Use any file manager with root privileges
- Copy and paste that file to /system/app
- Long press on it and choose "Permissions" from the menu
- Set the permissions so it will be like the other apks in that folder "rw-r--r--"
- Reboot your phone and test the widget

That's weird..
Even when you try to add the widget to your home screen?

the permissions are same as for other apps. To move it to home screen i need to see it in applications,right? but i don't have it there. Am i missing something?i see it only in file manager

It might be only a widget without actual app..
Go to Settings > Applications > All, do you see it there?
If so then it's only a widget and not a full app, long press on your home screen and see if it appears under the widgets list..
