[Q] How to remove swype completely ?! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

The SAFEST way to uninstall system apps is like this:
1. install root explorer
2. use it to go to /system/app
3. click on the mount RW button at the top
4. use multiselect to select all the crap you don't want
5. tap on "move" and go to /data/app
6. mount rw here too
7. paste. with passion.
8. reboot your phone
9. you'll see all those apps are now uninstallable through the application manager . use mini uninstaller though, it is much faster and nicer.^^
If you are a lazy bug, use titanium backup, but i warn you, this thing doesn't uninstall like it should be done, so remnants will remain for sure. most of the time it doesn't matter, but sometimes it can **** up your phone and display stupid force close errors. good day, sir.

What about free software?
Em... you don't seem to understand.. okay, there are two types of apps: system apps and user apps. the only difference is that system apps cannot be uninstalled. so, stock crapware,like trials and things SE doesn't want you to uninstall are marked as system apps. even if they are freeware. mini uninstaller displays all uninstallable apps, so if they appear there, they can be uninstalled. you can download it from the market.

That was the question. Root explorer is not free.
I have just tried to use "super manager", free in market, but with no succes.
If anyone can help me to use this program?. Thanks.
If only is the big question here ,maybe someday i'll invent an app that will uninstall without having to root the phone

I unistalled some apps with TB Pro, but noticed that Assassin Creed dwmoe still was there so I came here searching just to find out that TB it's not all that I think it was... :-$
But ok, at least I now know of this "mini uninstaller" and ran to the market, just to find out that was removed. :-\ :'(
Already googled but can't find it, if someone still have could please upload it here?
Try also absolute system tools not sure it it works without root but it might and have you tried searching the 4 shared site for mini uninstaller?

In any case you need a rooted phone.
The market has some free system app uninstallers you can try.
I dont remember which one I used since I uninstalled it when I finished getting rid of the system apps.
The X10 mini wiki contains instructions.
i use systemapp remover from market, works fine.

Swype v3.0 won't install

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.

[Q] Getting Swype Beta to work?

I found a link here on hwo to install the swype beta on a different phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154334
So you don't have to click here are the steps
1) To update the pre-installed Swype to Swype beta you have to have root access or else this isn't going to work
2) Download "Root App Remover" and "Root Explorer" from the android market
3) Run Root App Remover (it will take a minute for it to initially scan the phone for system and user apps)
4) Using Root App Remover go to system apps scroll down to Swype tap it and press recycle, to completely uninstall it (which you have to do) press menu then "SystemApp Recycler" and uninstall it.
5) Run Root Explorer and press the "Mount R/W" button at the top if it isn't already selected, after that to go "system" folder then the "lib" folder and delete the file "libswypecore.so" (if it isn't there then go back into system and then back again)
6) After that go into the "data" folder then the "data" folder and delete "com.android.android.inputmethod" file (if its not there then quit root explorer)
7) After that go to the Swype Beta Website and register, go through all the various steps untill you've finished downloading and installing the Swype Installer.
8) Run Swype Installer and go through all the steps, then download and install the Swype Beta, generate the license using the installer and your done the newest Swype beta is now installed one you Samsung Galaxy S

So in step 6 when you go to delete the file, I don't see that in my list and wanted to know if it has a different name for our phone.
I tried just un-installing Swype with titanium backup (after backing it up) and then installing the beta but after a restart it would throw an error saying Swype stopped working over and over again until I de-selected it. But I did not follow these steps, only the uninstall and install portions.
Any advice is appreciated.
I had the same issue but then I tried the steps again, and restarted twice and it seemed to work. now I get an error after boot saying it isn't licensed correctly but then it goes away and works for me perfectly.

I uninstalled Swype with TBP, deleted the libswypecore.so file, rebooted, and installed the beta. It was that simple for me...

Stock apps reinstalling after reboot?

My NT is using indirect's root and I had the stock apps removed. Every time I reboot, pandora, netflix, and hulu plus always show back up after I uninstall them. Any clue why they come back after a reboot? My netflix app always asks for an update and I have two copies of pandora on there.
you have to first go to root--->system---->app find the app and delete.
then uninstall
then reboot
(may need to change permissions to delete the crap)
I had this same issue, and one of the best ways to prevent it is before trying to delete/uninstall theme, is to go into the stock app manager and archive everything, this unregistered the flag that says they should be there on the device at all from B&N's perspective, and ensures they won't just suddenly appear again. I had the same issue with Netflix continually reverting to B&N's version instead of the newest version.

i'm not seeing a system folder in root... do i need to use a specific app to change permissions? i've already gone through several folders on the nook and on the memory card trying to track the apps down and can't find anything...

how do you archive everything? by the stock app manager i'm assuming you mean the menu where it lists all your apps...
market--->es file explorer
install
open---->top right( star for favs) click. THen select the phone object thing. (/) is under mine
root will open up
click system(should be before vendor folder)
click on App folder(before Bin folder)
select app---> change permissions so you can delete
after delete uninstall that app(which you deleted)
reboot and it should be gone
