[How To] Disable Swype Tutorial Pop-Up - for Swype Modders

I always found it annoying when I accidentally hit the Swype button while trying to type a message and the Swype Help Dialog (Tutorial) would pop-up. I thought it was just me but others have complained about this also so I decided to mod the Swype keyboard so this wouldn't happen. However, the Swype button does have other useful functions that I didn't want to remove. This mod only disables the Tutorial pop-up. All other Swype button functions still work. I am doing this on a Linux pc. I don't use Windows but this should work similar in Windows.

MikeyMike01 - Inspired by his Home Haptic fix
What you will need:
1. A Swype Keyboard
2. Smali/Baksmali - http://code.google.com/p/smali/
3. APK Manager - Optional
How To Instructions (Using Smail/Baksmali, you can also use APK Manager for this):
1. Extract classes.dex from Swype.apk and place in same folder as smali.jar and baksmali.jar
2. Open Terminal, navigate to folder where you put classes.dex and run this command: java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex
3. This will create a folder called "classout"
4. In the classout folder, navigate to com/swype/android/inputmethod
5. Open SwypeInputMethod.smali in text editor
6. Delete all lines of code that contain "HelpDialog" and "HELP_DIALOG", There is one line that is embedded within a method. Delete starting at .method to .endmethod.
7. There are two lines of code that have just "Help" in them. Do not delete these.
8. Save and Close SwypeInputMethod.smali
9. Delete classes.dex that you extracted
10. Run this command in terminal: java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o classes.dex
11. Copy the classes.dex that is created and drop it into your swype.apk
12. Place swype.apk into your CWM install zip
13. Flash and enjoy.
Attached is an example of this mod using one of 00.ante's Swype KB's. If you don't want to go through the trouble of baksmali/smali, you can just extract the classes.dex from this and drop it into your swype kb. Should work.

[GUIDE][WINDOWS][HOW-TO] Deodex CM7.2 Or Any ROM Manually

I know this is an old news, but I think most of people out there or in here wondering
if they could deodex their CM7.2 or other ROM correctly. After trying every kitchen/apps
etc. to deodex, it's seems worthless. Moreover, as newbie, setting up the kitchen is so
complicated & frequently giving me a hard time. But no worries, these are the steps on
how to deodex ROM manually
NOTE:
1 THIS METHOD HAVE ALREADY DONE ONLY BY WINDOWS
2 THIS METHOD IS BASICALLY WORKS ON ANY ROM
3 BEFORE ASK ANYTHING, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THE WHOLE MAIN THREAD FIRST
Requirements:
1 The Manual-Deodexer.zip [in attachments below]
2 A working brain :silly:
3 All framework files
4 APK/JAR to deodex
5 A working PC of course
STEP A: Setup a working folder
1 Extract the Manual-Deodexer.zip
2 Create a folder named "Deodexer" [any place] in your PC [EXAMPLE: D:/Deodexer]
3 Place all of the files included in Manual-Deodexer.zip to the "Deodexer" folder
[baksmali.jar, smali.jar, java.awt.jar, busybox, dexopt-wrapper, zipalign.exe]
STEP B: Deodexing All JARs First [system/framework]
1 Place all of your framework files also in "Deodexer" folder
2 Deodexing framework files [I'll use android.policy.jar for a start]
3 Run CMD in mentioned folder [Shift + Right Click] & type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali.jar -c :core.jar:bouncycastle.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:android.policy.jar:services.jar:core-junit.jar -x android.policy.odex
THIS WILL CREATE "out" FOLDER
4 Make sure the "out" folder is there, then in CMD, type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
THIS WILL CREATE "classes.dex"
5 Finally, deodex android.policy.jar:
> After the classes.dex created, directly delete both android.policy.odex & its "out" folder
> Open android.policy.jar with 7ZIP without extracting
> Drag the classes.dex in the 7ZIP window in the root folder
> Close the 7ZIP & you've deodexed android.policy.jar
[REPEAT THE SAME STEP FOR OTHER JARs 1 BY 1] [ON MY CM7.2, I GOT 19 JAR Files]
> So, basically repeat the steps for 19 times :laugh:
STEP B: Deodexing APK [system/app]
1 Place any APK you want to deodex also in "Deodexer" folder [I'll use SystemUI.apk for example]
2 Run CMD in mentioned folder [Shift + Right Click] & type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar baksmali.jar -c :am.jar:android.policy.jar:android.test.runner.jar:bmgr.jar:bouncycastle.jar:com.android.location.provider.jar:com.google.android.maps.jar:core.jar:core-junit.jar:ext.jar:framework.jar:ime.jar:input.jar:java.awt.jar:javax.obex.jar:monkey.jar:pm.jar:services.jar:sqlite-jdbc.jar:svc.jar -x SystemUI.odex
THIS WILL CREATE "out" FOLDER
3 Make sure the "out" is there & in CMD type:
Code:
java -Xmx1024m -jar smali.jar out -o classes.dex
THIS WILL CREATE "classes.dex"
4 Finally deodex SystemUI.apk:
> After the classes.dex created, directly delete both SystemUI.odex & its "out" folder
> Open SystemUI.apk with 7ZIP without extracting
> Drag the classes.dex in the 7ZIP window in the root folder
> Close the 7ZIP windows & you've deodexed SystemUI.apk
[REPEAT THE SAME STEPS ON OTHER APK YOU WANT TO DEODEX]
STEP C: Zipaplign Deodexed APK For Performances [OPTIONAL][ONLY APK]
1 In the same CMD prompt windows, type:
Code:
zipalign -v 4 "anyapk".apk zip_"anyapk".apk
2 A zip_"anyapk".apk file will be created. Delete your original deodexed "anyapk".apk
& rename zip_"anyapk".apk to the original "anyapk".apk you've deleted
3 Install it normally or push it to system/app [rw-r-r] method
NOTE:
1 TO DEODEXED Emails.apk & MobilePrint.apk YOU'LL NEED ANOTHER COPY OF "java.awt.jar"
2 IT IS DEODEX, SO BASICALLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN THE APK
