I want to erase EVERYTHING about swype.
Which files do I remove? I'm trying to update it to the newest
I just deleted some swype files and now swype is completely gone but i cant install from the installer... Says problem parsing package
Delete the installer and redownload it from swype.com.

Still won't work. There are 2 other files that I know of that make swype associated to the ROM as a system app (and preventing an installation). I removed those as well (so I removed a total of 4 swype-related files from the android system) and it still couldn't install.
If you or someone else has successfully managed to install swype from swype.com on a swype-enabled ROM, you should write steps on how to do it.

When I remove an app I use Titanium Backup Pro to wipe the data before I uninstall it
Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
Figured it out from another topic. Swype can be installed PROPERLY now. Working great too. Here are the instructions. Just follow them exactly and you're set.
1.Remove libswypeCore from system/lib
2.Remove ANY files that have the word "Swype" in their name from system/app. There should be 2. One is swype.apk, the other is swypetips.apk or something like it.
3.Reboot into recovery, clear dalvik cache.
4.From TitaniumBackup, verify that you can't find swype anywhere in the installed apps. Make sure the option to show system apps is on. If you DO find anywhere swype, uninstall it.
5.Reboot your phone. It will take a WHILE, can be up to 10 minutes, that is normal.
6.Install new swype.
NOTE: To access system/lib and system/app you will need a root-based file manager such as Root Explorer. Root Explorer can be found on the market and is very useful all around.

Ugh I tried just now.
I couldn't find any apk or libswype but I deleted the libswypecore.so
And there is no API because I deleted it before...
I wiped the dalvik cache or something and it took lIke 5 minutes to bootup and when I try to install it says problem parsing cache.
Can someone with new swype give me their apk? I'm sure if I put that in system/app it'd work.
Also what is dalvik cache?
Someone please help. I'm bored of using the android keyboard
I can give you the old version as well as the new version. But from what it sounds, you didn't clean the swype files completely.
I'll update the steps for removing swype. I realized one or two of them are unclear. I'm also attaching the NEWEST swype I just installed in this post. Note that you need to push that into data/app, NOT in system. Also, you need to have cleared the old swype as my system/app and system/lib had NO files associated with swype.

thanks, i installed that everything worked but the language, and the whole point of swype, swyping.
i turned it on and it gave me a message saying the language pack is incompatible with my phone or something, i clicked ok, now when i swype, i get nothing, i can type normally but no swype.
also on swype settings it the language option is like grey so i can't click it...
EDIT:
nevermind, i got it to work.
for people with same problems, install the attachment from the post on page 1, last post.
normally install no need to put it on system/apps or anything
Now use your normal swype installer from www.beta.swype.com and it will tell you that your swype is unlicensed, it'll guide you on disabling swype, and it will generate a license (you need to make a login at swype.com) and then the language pack and everything is fully installed.
thanks for the attachment, couldn't have done anythign without it!

Swype has requested that their app not be shared here or anywhere. Just a suggestion, as it IS considered warez. You can leave it up, the mods will find it soon enough.

Since Dell included Swype in the 2.2 updates, you can not install the beta swype apk without running into issues.
It will disable swype and simply un-installing the swype beta does not restore the original swype on the device. So your stuck with either having to do a factory reset or some knowledge of the system files.
I found this post over at the swype beta forums under Droid X by grooves12 which worked for me on the Streak.
Follow the simple steps and you'll be good to go
grooves12 said:
First, your Droid X must be rooted. There is plenty of info out there on how to accomplish this.
Get a root file manager (I use root explorer)
1. Change your default input method to anything other than Swype.
2. Mount file system as R/W
3. Delete (or move/rename) \system\app\swype.apk
4. Delete (or move/rename) \data\dalvik-cache\[email protected]@[email protected]
5. Delete (or move/rename) \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so
6. Reboot
7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer
8. ENJOY!
I hold no responsibility if you screw up your system, and recommend you make a backup before attempting this, but, the above steps worked perfectly for me, and I am now running the latest Swype beta on my X.
These steps should also work on other models that come pre-installed with Swype from the factory, but I don't have another one to test, so have no way of being sure. If anyone tries it, let me know if it works for you!

Why continue trying to use the beta when you have a fully working version already in the streak?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
yeah what's new with the beta? I can wait for stable release I think
--punked by Dell
--0wned with custom froyo long before their update
The latest one works much better, the main thing I think is most beneficial is that when you delete a name from your dictionary its actually deleted. In the one that comes with dell's ftoyo whenever I attempt to swype the word "now" the name "nour" would come up. No matter how many times I deleted "nour" from my dictionary it would still come up.
also I don't like how the numbers are across the top row, now with the beta I have installed the numbers are in the middle like a 10 key
head over to beta.swype.com to see a full change long.

Okay,, I uninstalled something called inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of numbers or what not after) and it totally messed up my swype keyboard (continuously force closes). Can't for the life of me figure out how to restore it, can anyone please help? I know that titanium backup on sd has a zip of it and a properties (?) file of it, but can't find it in the list on the titanium app to restore it... Please help!!!

In your titanium folder, there is a long name apk file. You find the file that include your file name (removed). Rename it same as original and use root explorer copy back to /system/app.

Like the keyboard, I can open it and see my mail, but once I try opening an email, force close (?!)... I also remember I removed system apps that were spelled in the com.inputmethod.Latin-20(and a bunch of characters), because they looked like leftovers of system apps I no longer needed, now my dilemma is so huge that I just NEED to restore that functionality to my phone!

which one you've downloaded?? xRecovery .zip file or System app .zip file?
you should download 2nd one....there you can find all the stock applications...just push the required missing application by ADB cmd or you can use mRush mode tool. which is very easier......
Am I gonna need my pc?? I have ADB, but was hoping I can fix it now. Im ready to reflash if necessary, but in doing this, am I safe if everything is backed up from before the problem with titanium? And if I have to do that, would it not make more sense to go for a 2.2 aosp like freex10 beta4 (or is there something better out yet)? Thanks!
Is there any way we can get the new swype update incorporated into some of the ROMs? Or do we have to download it separately?

I would imagine it will get incorporated into future ROMs or included in an update to a current ROM. But if you want it now you will have to download it separately. Before you can download 3.0 you will have to switch your default keyboard to another keyboard then using a file explorer app such as root explorer go in and delete these four files: /system/app/swype.apk, /data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod, /dbdata/databases/com.swype.android.inputmethod, and /system/lib/libswypecore.so
swype 3.0 beta has drm/licensing stuff in it..so it will expire at some point if we incorporate as is into the roms (comrom/etc)
im hopeful we can get that stuff removed as was done for 2.29 that we were using in tsm roms
Okay cool. Thanks for the replies
Spent some time trying to get swype 3b installed.
The installer apparently requires the old version to be removed. So I did (Titanium). The installer went all the way through the download process, but actually installing gave me "was not installed." Gee, what a helpful error.
So I tried downloading an apk from the web and got the same error. So I tried using root explorer to install the apk manually (including setting permissions and changing owner). It FC'd repeatedly after reboot. So I removed it.
Then I tried adb install. That didn't work either. Then, realizing that Titanium didn't have a backup for my original Swype, I tried installing the v2 apk via adb, but that doesn't work either.
Ugh. Now I don't have Swype at all! Any ideas? Can someone tell me if there's a unique version for this phone or something?

Me too on the Swype problem. I had 3.0 working on the CM7 Alpha that jt built but that was a little to buggy so I switched to CommROM 2.0. Because of the way Swype is integrated into CommROM, it can't be easily replaced. Would love for someone to point me in the right direction on this.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you're not supposed to download swype beta if you have a phone that comes with swype installed. I'm not sure why but I read that it won't work.
Choose a different keyboard. Uninstall old swype. Reboot, then install new beta.
Worked for me.
Yeah, I struggled with that issue last night (getting "was not installed" with 3.0 after removing 2)... but don't fret, it turns out the solution (which I discovered by mistake) is to literally just reboot your phone before installing 3.0. Hurr.
Keep in mind you still do have to manually delete /system/lib/libswypecore.so using Root Explorer or the like after uninstalling Swpye 2 via TB -- otherwise you will have problems.
Is there an echo in here?
And I did not have to manually delete any files and everything is working fine.
I used Titanium to delete the original, then used the installer without problems. That said, I don't like 3.0 and went back to the old version.
Working!
After seeing your replies, I deleted the lib file. I also ran
adb shell pm list packages
and found com.swype.android.inputmethod was still installed:
adb uninstall com.swype.android.inputmethod
then reboot.
then used swype little installer package.
and now it works!
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy
Delete using Titanium, reboot, install using the standard Swype installer seems to work.
Keeps getting better with every release!!!
I had been having some issues with the latest Swype beta's auto-correction, in that when I was touch-typing for non-dictionary words (like acronyms, etc.), the auto-correction was doing its job and was 'auto-correcting'; but of course, I didn't want these words corrected! (I guess I was still operating under Swype's old rules which were when you touch-typed, it always assumed you were entering the correct spelling of whatever you had typed). So I turned off automatic auto-correct, and now I just have the word suggestion bar. This process seems to be working much better for me now.

Are there any other file managers besides root explorer that take advantage of root access?
I'm sure root explorer is good and all, I just don't feel like forking over 3 or 4 bucks or whatever for it - I don't like paying for apps, it's just one more thing that isn't a free download if you have to reflash your ROM or do a factory reset or something. Learned that lesson a few years ago with an 2nd gen iPod Touch.
That being said, there's plenty of free file managers out there, will any of them perform root operations such as deleting Swype.apk manually?
Once you purchase an app it is linked to your gmail acct. If you wipe or reflash it's still your's. Save yourself the headache and just buy root explorer.

Swype is an amazing piece of software, which makes typing on touchscreen only phones (like the Galaxy Ace) much more convenient (I still prefer the stock Gingerbread keyboard.) The SAMSUNG Galaxy Ace comes preinstalled with Swype, so if you try to install Swype BETA (which is updated, and more accurate) on it, you'll get a licensing error - which is very easy to fix:
Root your phone.
Delete /system/app/Swype.apk using Root Explorer or equivalent thereof.
Go to the email you received and click on the link to download the installer.
Follow the instructions given in the installer to finish installing Swype (BETA)!
This should work for any phone which has Swype preinstalled.
nb. You can request an invite for the BETA from beta<dot>swype<dot>com*
*vB won't let me post external links.
Am struck at the last step. It is taking a hell lot of time to download the swype beta. I interrupted in the middle to check if the net is working fine. I am using wifi and it is doing fine. But the download is not getting completed. Is the size of the file being downloaded that big?

swype wont let 'select swype'
I got a problem with my swype beta and its driving me mad.
All os a sudden my ace wouldnt let me choose the swype beta keyboard anymore.
So i deinstalled and then installed the whole thing. Then when it comes down to the screen of the installer where it says 'Enable swype' and 'select swype', I go into the settings, check the box, and have the same problem as before.
I can check the box nex to swype, but it doesnt have any effect, it still wont let me 'select swype'. And it still wont let me select swype as an input method.
I did not move swype to the ext or anything.
Maybe I accidently moved it the first time with link2sd, other than that I honestly dont know the reason for it to stop working in the first place.
Thanks in advance
NEVER MIND!!! simple reboot did it. should have thought of that earlier. still the lesson is not to move swype to ext

Maybe I understood you wrong, but my suggestion would be that you did not deinstall the preinstalled swype. Swype BETA does not automatically do that for you. Did you mean aou were updating swype beta???
Another explanation could be that your words in the dictionary were deleted when you dit the update. But that would have been a lot of words then...
Thanks for answering!!!
I first installed the apk file of swipe that was posted here and that was when swipe was so big in size and took all my internal memory...then I uninstalled the update bia settings and uninstalled original swipe with Root Uninstaller...but when I tried to install the new apk file posted here it told me that it was not installed...
Finally I unistalled the original file again, installed swipe beta installer, and installed the new version of swipe...Now, it constantly tells me that the swipe process has made an unknown error and must close, I can't even use the phone because the message appears every 3 seconds...
I need help please!!!

Well, here it is what I did, I uninstalled everything, original swipe, swipe installer, I used "Cache Mate" to clear cache, "Titanium Backup" to clear dalvik cache, turned off my phone, turned it on again and installed the apk version posted here, before opening swipe I changed it to phone internal memory and problem of installing and using swipe is solved... but it still occupies more memory than the original swipe... wasn't it supposed to be smaller in size???

Maybe you could just try to install swype beta once on the normal way, you know webpage, email, link installer, install.
I dont really think that will help with the memory. it is really wierd that it still sucks up memory somewhere, even though you cleaned all caches...
Maybe you could use DiskUsage (Market, for free) to find the bad thing doing that.
Haha, it was driving me crazy but searching for another things I found the UOT Kitchen and I don't know why, but that was all, I made a theme and after flashing it with the "how to" guide in the kitchen page my internal memory came back...I didn't erase a single app, and all apps I have are the same size they where before!
Thanks for answering!
Cheers!

The APKs are licenced to each user and the Swype installer deletes the APKs as soon as it is installed.

Has anyone else tried removing the stock Swype and installing the new Swype Beta with Dragon Dictation on their AT&T Note yet? Just doesn't install.
Did you delete the /lib files belonging to the previous swype version? U Need to delete these before installing a new swype

Yes, did that. Just seems like an issue with beta apk file with the Note?
Possibly

It's compatible. It worked just fine on my International version.
I haven't put it on my AT&T version because of the USPS bull****.

I'll walk you through it if I can get it to work again with this AT&T version, haha...
I didn't do anything special from what I remember, just Titanium Backup uninstall, double checked the lib files, and installed. Haven't done it in a while...
Installed Swype Beta but...
Got Swype Beta 3.26 working on my AT&T G-Note. Not difficult but I removed it and re-installed the stock version.
The problem is that Swype Beta thinks that the G_Note is a tablet and the keyboard is WAY TOO SMALL to use. On installation you have to choose Android Tablet or a Japanese Tablet. No choice for a phone size display or any way I found to change the keyboard size. I didn't play too deeply to try to resolve.
Here was technique I used. (You are on your own usual warning....)
TOOLS
Root Explorer
A Rooted G-Note
1. Root Explorer search "Swype".
2. Take screen shot of where the Swype folder and files are so you remember how to put it back together.
3. Move all Swype files and folder to a new Swype backup folder for safety (I think I had to change some permissions to do this). It was one folder in /data/data 2 files in /system/app and one file in /system/lib
4. Get a Swype Beta account, download and install it. (I did this months ago so I don't remember it all.) I had the old email from them and just ran the link again
5. Restoring old was just uninstalling Swype Beta and the Swype Installer, putting the folder and files back where they were and re-booting.
Hope it gets worked out. I used Swype 3.25 on a Dell Streak and it was clearly better than what is on the G-Note.

Yeah, word. The Galaxy Note's resolution is totally foreign to the Note, so we have to use stock for now - which blows.
Here you go guys - found a solution posted by user zipxavier on the international Note section.
Here's the APK file - http://www.mediafire.com/?svqyodormoxvgz2
Its the ICS version of the latest beta, works perfectly fine, Dragon Dictation works as well. Not the annoying tablet version.
