Hi,
I'm having problem with this crap swype !!
Somthing happened and it doesn't show in input anymore !
When I try to install it I got installation failed !!
I went to manage application and I didn't find it there !
So guy where does main files for this crap stored in ! So I can delete them manually and try to install it again !
It's driving me crazy !
I don't know how to remove it but try this first. Go to Manage Applications, press the menu key, select Filter then All. You should be able to find Swype located at the bottom. You can't remove it but select clear data and force closed to see if this helps you.
I hope that helps.
^^^^^
I tried that also but I got same thing swype doesn't show !
yo just get root explorer and go to system/app. loook for swype in that folder and delete it! if you want, you can also delete some swype file from the .lib folder but thats probably not necessary

You cannot remove applications in /system/app. The only way to remove Swype are:
A) Use ADB commands to uninstall it. Search XDA for the ADB thread
B) Get Root Explorer and go into /system/app and delete Swype.apk
Both of these methods require root.
removed swype
i did it by stopping the swype process.
SGS Tools>menu>cleanup System apps>advanced mode> (find swype and stop it)> reboot
ran the swype installer again (beta thing from the site), and it installed.
get absolute system and just uninstall it with that, it completely gets rid of it
Could register for swype beta and download the installer for a reinstall

No need to do it hard way.
Just open Super Manager and go to APK Manager. Then uninstall swype.
Then reboot and you can install Swype BETA
For those who been waiting to get into the beta, it's reopen to all. If you have the factory One still installed, you will have delete the swype apk, and the swype lib file. Reboot and install the swype installer and so on.

Just note this:
If your phone came pre-installed with Swype
DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

**Edit** Like others stated, you will have to uninstall the swype that came pre-installed before using the Beta. (I was already a beta user....)

all u have to do is uninstall the default one. I'm not having any problems.
Just curious, but since we MyTouch owners already have swype, what would be the point of joining the beta?

True, just use root explorer to move it over then reboot. Benefits would be to have the most up-to-date version and one with a voice button.

Some of us running CM6 lost swype, so this is the perfect alternative to getting swype back other than the ADB method.

I can uninstall the Swype that came with it and install the new beta, but the service force closes on me when it attempts to verify the license. Any suggestions?

U have to be rooted. Follow the first post. Delete the swype apk and the lib file, reboot, then install the beta
I think that may be the issue I was having replacing swype, I didn't delete the lib file. I may give it another shot tonight.

Yeah bro, the **** was driving me crazy since I got this phone. I delete the apk but mine wouldn't install. I was missing my swype with it mic
I have done everything the instructions say and during the licensing the Swype process "com.swype.android.inputmethod" stops unexpectedly.
I am rooted...i deleted the swype apk, the lib file and rebooted. I then installed it and I continue to have this problem.

Hmmmm, On my n1 the installer started tripping on me before. Pm me..
Does anybody know if registering for the beta will interfere with the preinstalled version from working/authenticating? Or does the preinstalled version not need to to authenticate?

I don't why u would want to go back to the preinstalled one, but all u need is the apk and the lib, there's a thread here if u didn't back it up. There's no authentication
Am I suppose to be using the swype installer for this? That may be causing the problems.

OK, then I'm stumped again. Even when I try installing from a apk, it says it's going to replace a current application. I don't get that because I thought I removed swype. How can it replace something that's not there?
Update: After reboots and file deletions...it was finally able to authenticate. I don't know the exact steps, but it working now. Thanks for everyone's help.
This is the first time i've EVER and i will say EVER encountered this issue (for me of course)
I deleted swype.apk from system/app
deleted libswypecore.so from system/lib
rebooted (like 3 times)
and when i click on swype installer, login, and choose SWYPE FULL to install
after a while it says "parsing error not installed " something in that area.
What can i do to make it actually work?
Currently i have no swype, and without swype, my life is ruined.
a bad download, swype tweeted they uploaded the incorrect full version.
Also, why in the world are you using the full version? You only speak/need English. The lite version should work no problem.

Could it have been a bad download? Have you gone to their web site for the beta? I think they have openings

thanks for the tip, but its not working for the english/spanish one either.
and i just found out that the FULL version meant like.. all languages lol.
I thought full was like... the whole swype system, while beta was parts of it.
i'm so dumb
Anyways, are you saying that they tweeted neither of the swype *full AND english/spanish* don't work?

I don't think so.
I have the right swype installer from

i have a valid account.
as s15 said, its probably the error they tweeted
Gotta wait >.<

so you tired the new updated fixed version? What rom are you using? Couldn't you put swype in that build and then flash it? Just trying to think outside the box is all.
Yes, and i'm using that Sweet Honey one.
Uhm, okay so i did TRY to "think outside the box"
I had a previous version of swype i kept on my SD Card.
I installed that.
Went to Swype Installer.
It recognized the swype version
i logged in.
Then it said "registration failed"
I have the swype keyboard, but no swype gestures or library.
I request that someone goes to system/lib/
and finds libswypecore.so
copies theirs, and gives it to me, so i can use it.
It would be VERY appreciated!
You do realize any tie to swype needs to be removed, then reboot... You can't install swype beta when you already have swype.
Correct.
As far as i know, and this has worked before...
Removing the apk from system/app
and the lib file from system/lib
and rebooting
removes swype.

Go to root explorer then the root directory. Search swype, delete all references. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, install the beta.
Edit: not the sd card, just the system files.

Turns out me not uninstalling swype installer was the problem :O
Must have had some corrupt data. Usually it will auto update if it's an older version that may cause a problem.
The beta doesn't auto update, you have to open the installer.
The installer I meant..when you open it the installer will update to the latest version then you can check for swype updates.
I had the same issue. Make sure you reboot your phone after you remove the files, then make sure you use the stock browser to download the installer, don't use skyfire or opera or any of those. I had the same issue when i was using skyfire. used the google browser and it worked fine. The website says not to use certain browsers or it won't work.
I'm running Project V(6-11-11) w/ Bali 1.6.5uv. I just got an email to update my swype. So I download swype installer, delete my version of swype using titanium backup, download new version, go to install and everthing is going great. Then it says "application not installed".
I've tried a couple of times always with the same results.
Anybody else having this problem or know what I'm doing wrong?.....thanks
Use root explorer to search for all swype related files, delete them. Then run new updater

Do you know where the files that i should delete are located?

You should only have to delete Swype.apk in /system/app and libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib. Reboot and it should install then.
That worked jneal9, thanks. It was the libSwypeCore that was holding it up. TB deleted the apk.
Good job, as always for updates, make sure you go to the Root, as this has happened before, swype is better if not Awesome. Good new update.

Automatic Updates have finally arrived! Once installed, this latest version of Swype will let you install updates on-the-fly via Swype Connect.
* When an update is ready, you'll receive an Android Notification informing you that an upgrade is available
* Install the update right through the Swype Settings window
* Your user dictionary and settings will automatically be saved during the update!
Version is 3.26. Just curious: I forgot to note what version of Swype came pre-installed on the phone. Does anyone know what it is? This is my first time updating Swype. The layout is much different.
3.23 was the version on my device but i updated it to 3.25 which included gestures for cut, copy, and paste.

You're not allowed to distribute Swype on XDA, other than the one that comes with the phone.

Ah, okay.
Seems odd, since it's not warez. It comes preinstalled, and is also available for free through their website for those who don't have it preinstalled. I just didn't know how to update it since I do already have it preinstalled.
On my Captivate I had awful problems caused by uninstalling the preinstalled version, so I could use the Swype installer, and was hoping to avoid that this time.
Thanks anyway.
From the site:
If your phone came pre-installed with Swype DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

EDIT: Also, this:
When trying to uninstall Swype through Application Settings the only reason why you would be unable to select the uninstall button is that you're attempting to uninstall the production version of Swype. This either came PreLoaded with your device, or your Carrier included it in an OTA update. Swype production can not be uninstalled.
If this is the case and Swype is not appearing as your input method, simply go to any application that supports text entry (such as SMS or Email), long-press on any text box (the place where text would appear as you type), choose Input Method in the popup, and select Swype from the list of available choices.
IF YOU ARE RECEIVING CRASHES AFTER AN OTA SYSTEM UPDATE: Because Swype Beta is incompatible with Swype Production and can not be installed over top you will need to find a duplicate Swype entry in your Application Settings (The entry for Swype Beta) and uninstall that. Swype will force close when trying to be used until Swype Beta is uninstalled.
If you have a production device and would still like to test the Beta for us the only way we can support you is if you install another ROM that does not come with Swype PreLoaded.
If you would still like to try to uninstall Swype on a production devices you will need to delete or rename /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so before installing the Beta. I will stress that this is NOT SUPPORTED in anyway. Some firmware has other framework customizations by the carrier that will cause further complications if these files are removed. If you try to uninstall Swype from a production device and break it the only advice we can give you is to seek instructions on how to reload your device with the stock rom.

Hi:
Yes, I was aware of that. I am actually a very good reader
That statement is actually not entirely true though.
On the Captivate (haven't tried on the new phone) you had to follow steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9160980&postcount=1
I actually worked perfectly.
My problem was caused by not having done enough research prior to deleting the original, so I didn't at first know to use root explorer to delete the appropriate file.
I am a bit of a worry wart, and almost had a heart attack prior to finding that post, because I thought I was going to have to live without swype lol.
Yea i removed the stock swype.apk.
installed from the beta.swype.com
clean rebooted. now everytime i swype in the word suggestion field it just pops up with "please try again". I can't swype anything.
anyone know how to fix this or things to try?
Have you uninstalled the Swype keyboard and the Swype installer and tried again?

That warning only applies to people who have not rooted and have a pre-installed version of Swype, if you have not rooted you can't remove system apps and will not be able to install the latest beta and have it work.
But for anyone who has rooted you can remove the pre-installed Swype and then install the latest beta directly from their website. It will not cause any problems.
