[q] swype installation problem!! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

good day everyone. i've just installed bionix fusion 1.2 but erroneously uninstalled my swype keyboard. I read somewhere that one can unzip the bionix rom and copy the swype.apk into the system/app off the vibrant using root explorer. i have done just that but the problem is anytime i past into the system/app, its never there (system/app) when i check. i usually get the prompt that its been successfully copied but when i check its not there. is there somethign i am doing wrong? Please can anyone tell me how to get the swype keyboard back on my vibrant. will appreciate every response. thank you

I forgot to add...i have tried using apps installer to install the swype.apk but it was unsuccessful. Please i need help on getting my lovely swype back

It might be easiest to just re flash.

Thanks willcwells. Please, do I have to restore my backed up nandroid (stock rom ) first or can I just flash the bionix fusion over it again straight?

You can just reflash fusion again, it will wipe so you might want to titanium backup your apps and data.

Sims 3 collector's edition for Vibrant?

Anyone got the .apk not the embeded launcher?
i already searched the forums okay?
I'd be interested in this or instructions on how to pull it from the stock install. I've wanted to play it but much prefer Bionic Fusion and LauncherPro over stock and TouchWiz.

You root it then install root manager and the go all the way to the root of the phone to where it says data tmo and it should be

use some sort of file browser with root permissions (I use root explorer but its a paid app) and go to system >> App >> com.ideaworks3d.thesims3.apk
copy that to your computer or external sd for safe keeping then install your new rom. once your on the new rom you can put the apk in the same place you found it and install it, or you can put it in your internal sd and just install it from there.
I could send u the apk. If u want me too pm ur email.

Swype Beta Open!

Sign up here,

Will require removal of current version. Please note I am note responsible for any errors that may occur.
The steps that worked for me are as follows:
Remove libswype from system/lib
Remove swype.apk from system/app
Reboot into recovery, clear dalvik.cache.
Install new swype.
Good luck!

Is it safe to clear the dalvik cache if I have voodoo enabled?
I have many times without issue. Just be prepared for longer than usual boot up.

works with the ginger clone. liked this better than the swype that's pre installed on a stock vibrant.
Works perfectly on Axura 2.2.5.9

if your rooted and have CWM, I would just flash a 2.2 rom...lots of choices and nero has been replaced by bionix v
Oh.. I havent rooted mine yet.. Because when I was trying to root my phone yesterday it failed..coz mine was upgraded to 2.2.. That's why I was thinking to go back to 2.1 eclair. Then try to root again.. Hmm thanks though.. I'm new from this..

its a step by step tutorial. I've never used it personally, but it works. I just flashed a supercurio voodoo kernel w/ CWM & root via ODIN to get to the same process
Ok.. Thank you so much! This is my first time to upgrade my phone and im scared i might brick it...

I used the SuperOneClickRoot with no issues, just follow the direction to a "T" and you should be fine. It adds everything needed.

I bought the phones used, it came with team whiskey rom, stock froyo 2.2, not sure what the other questions mean?
Try pushing the mms.apk from the ROM u r running alone. If that doesn't werk try reflashing the ROM again.

ok a little help here, what exactly does that mean? pushing the mms.apk from the ROM?
There is a great app called root explorer that will allow you to take an .apk from the .zip of the ROM u r on and you can paste it in /system/app/ and that replaces the mms.apk assuming u r rooted and can find the appropriate ROM. Honestly I'd just flash something else. Good luck!

[Q] Installing apk & odex to /system

HI everyone, this is my first post here so if i ask any noobest questions, please forgive me.
Here is the issue, I downloaded the S3 apk pack from HERE and wanna install some apps to my Nexus S.

Whatever i did, it just never show up at my widget drawer..
Anybody can help?
Days gone and still stuck up
Thanks everyone
Try adb pushing or installing them to data/app and see if they work!

Isn't data/app for installed .apk?
How about the .odex file?
I'm actually not to sure. But you should try it anyway just to be sure.

If the apps are simply taken from Samsung rom they will not work in any way. They need to be ported if I'm right
My own phone's Samsung apps had to be ported to work on cm7 and cm9
Hope this will help
Don't waste time pasting all apks and odexes and find them not work
Correct me if I am wrong

allspark2020 you are right. thanks for pointing it out.
Now i may either get CM9 for my nexus s or get a Samsung device
Thanks for everything guys~
