[Q] cant install Swype on Samsung Gal S anymore?

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

Can't find bloatware to delete it.

Hey all,
Rooted, 2.2, UGJL2
Got rid of the BMC apps but can't find the .apk file names to delete "Samsung Email" and "Samsung IM"
I can't find them in the /sys/app folder.
any ideas?
cheers

you don't do it like that
use Titanium Backup
that will do it for you just be selecting the app you want to remove

Titanium doesn't see them either.

[Q] Cannot restore SMS [ParanoidAndroid] [Titanium Backup]

Phone model: LG Optimus 2x (P990)
Rooted: Yes, of course.
Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762494
Hello people!
I need some help restoring my SMS chat with all my friends. I came from the stock LG rom (bought the phone in Denmark, so it's probably some danish/nordic version).
I backed up all my system files + apps using Titanium Backup pro, which included something like "Phone/Messaging Storage (version 4.0.4-eng.tonyp.20120904.052245(SMS/MMS/APN)". After doing so I flashed ParanoidAndroid Build 11 + Hybrid Gapps v2, by first doing factory reset, cache/dalvik cache wipe & battery stats.
I rebooted the phone twice & installed Titanium Backup pro, then went into "Backup/Restore" went down to "Phone/Messaging Storage (version 4.0.4-eng.tonyp.20120904.052245(SMS/MMS/APN)" pressed it and chose restore. It asked what I would like to restore, but I could only choose 'only data'. When that was done, it told me to restart so I did. However, after doing the restart, I keep getting this message:
"Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."
The error window started appearing when I went into the SMS app thing, and is still showing even after shutting it down.
I have now done a clean install of ParanoidAndroid again, and I do not have this error anymore.
However when ever I try to restore my Messaging it keeps giving me the same problem.
Help me! What should I do in order to restore my beloved chat log? I got some valuable information there.

There are several ways.
TB automatically creates an SMS/MMS backup, but it's labeled "Messages". Look for a TB-icon (Yellow star) labeled "Messages" or possibly a translated string. Restore data for that one. Threads with MMSes in them will not show the correct title, however, this will auto-repair itself after you receive an SMS.
Anther way is to go back to your original ROM, and choose "More/Backup data to XML", and store the file on your SD-card or on a cloud-server TB supports, then "Restore data from XML" on your new ROM.

Use 'super backup' to restore ur contacts

Thanks for the answer! I got it fixed.

[Q] Problem Restoring System Apps With Titanium Backup Pro

Titanium Backup Pro will not restore system apps.
Samsung Galaxy S6 SM-G920T
Titanium Backup 7.1.2 with Pro
Stock rooted with CF-Auto-Root
Tried SuperSU v2.45 - v2.46 - v2.49
The Problem
I made backup of apps that I would like to remove from the phone. I did a test by removing Amazon App. When I try to restore app, Titanium hand at restoring app, spinner will go for as long as I leave my phone on. Kill Titanium, reboot phone and I get a toast popup that Amazon has stopped. Amazon app icon in app draw, I touch to start app and get the same toast popup that Amazon has stopped. Start Root Explorer Pro navigate to system/priv-app Amazon app folder is not there. Navigate to system/app Amazon app is located here, but not in a folder and not with any support files. I tried this with a few other apps and it does not matter if they are located in system/priv-app or system/app same result.
I have search and found older threads that suggest changing Application Processing Mode to Interactive, but no mode changes have helped.
I also tried changing Mount namespace separation in SuperSU.
When applying these changes I have reboot the phone.
Any Ideas, please help.
Thank You

You can try to use the titanium backup option of turning your backed up apk into a twrp flash able update zip.

Titanium Backup wont install. Error in application installation /code 504

I was running stock lollipop 5.0.1 on my note 4. I rooted my phone and supersu was installed during the process. I then installed Titanium backup and deleted all unwanted bloatware. Then i decided i wanted to unroot my phone( so i could be able to do normal software updates / and run stock rom with no bloatware). To flash back to stock i flashed N910TUVU1COD6_N910TTMB1COD6_N910TUVU1COD6 via odin. This however reinstalled all system bloatware that i removed with titanium backup. SO THEN, i re- rooted, re-installed titanium backup & re-deleted system bloatware, then went to supersu, and selected UNROOT from the apps options. This closed the app and restarted my phone. When it booted back up i went to the market to reinstall titanium backup i get this messege " Unknown error code during application install:-504"
My phone is currently stock rooted, with supersu installed, awaiting the fix so that i can install titanium backup.
PLEASE HELP; I am trying to install a custom rom, and need my apps backed up via titanium backup!!

Try clearing data from the play store app and Google play services then redownload ttb. If that doesn't work you could try wiping dalvik and cache in recovery but it'll take 20 minutes for your phone to boot after doing that and your phone will get hot in the process!

Thank you. I have done that about 3 times with no success. Even unrooted and re rooted. I'm really trying to avoid having to factory reset. And even if do, I don't know if it will fix what this problem is.

Sorry buddy. Start over. Odin to stock + factory reset.
You can then run stock rooted without the bloat.
Or custom rommed up.
We probably aren't getting any important updates soon.

My error 504 Fix - Sprint LG G4
Because I went through hell trying to fix this error while reinstalling Titanium Backup *Root* on my once rooted, then unrooted, then rerooted Sprint LG G4, I will explain what finally worked for me.
First off, the app was installed and working fine and was used to backup my entire phone to the TB cloud. So, when I rerooted my phone and expected to reinstall TB and then go get my stuff, so as to basically restore the phone to the way it was before unrooting, I was pissed that I kept getting that stupid error code. I tried all the suggestions for fixing; delete the cache & data for Google Play Store & Google Services Framework, remove gmail account and reboot, and delete data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file. Nothing, by itself, worked. So here's what I did:
1. I downloaded a file managing app for root. I used File Explorer (for root).
2. Using File Explorer, I found the data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file and deleted it.
3. I deleted the cache & data for Google Play & Google Services Framework.
4. I removed my Gmail account and rebooted the phone.
5. I opened Google Play Store. At this point the app will ask for your account info and when done, your Gmail account will be back.
6. I located the Titanium Backup *Root* app and installed it. It's important to note that if you have the Pro version of TB, I found you should install the free version 1st, then install the Pro version after that.
Presto! No Error Code 504! I had TB back on my phone, once again!!!
Hope this helps anyone having this same issue. I see no reason why this shouldn't work on any phone, but I can't say for sure.

I tried but it didn't work
I even tried to install the Titanium.apk directly ( copied from another phone) but I am receiving the error message:
application not installed.
Any help please?
Daniel

That's all that I did. Recently I had that problem once again. And it was fixed... Forgot the steps to get there. But you may try using cleaner apps or SDmaid to get rid of the corpses.

I just had the same problem and step two
2. Using File Explorer, I found the data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup file and deleted it.
did it for me.

Chris
This worked for me on the first attempt (just deleting the com.kerimidas folder listed above) .....and NOTHING EVER WORKS FOR ME ON THE FIRST TRY!!!
THX!!!

I also had the same problem, did everything not helped.

Just this step fixed the problem, installed OK. Didnt have to do any of the other things.
