I just downloaded Bionix v5 and at the bottom of the original post it says "add-ons" I would really like to have the Swype app since I do not like the one I currently have but Im not sure how I download those add-ons to my phone. Can someone just give me a quick explanation on how to download them?
Thanks!
Swype comes with bionix.

he means the newer one.
theres plenty of links on these forums, and you must go to system/app/ and delete anything with swype
then system/lib/
and delete swypecore.so or lib something like that.
then reboot.
then install the new swype.apk you found.
then use the swype installer to generate a licesnse and then validate it, and get the language packs.

Yes but not a good version. He says it is a better version and I would also like the wifi calling app but I don't know where to download these apps, whether it be to the sd card or what

trying it now.
ok so i managed to successfully download wifi calling. i went to put the swype and avatar app on my phone and when i opened astro and clicked on the app it says "application not installed". it does this for both avatar.apk and swype.apk and im not sure what to do. any ideas?

You don't run the .apk. Just move them to the right folder. /system/app/ I think that's it. Then you can open it from the app drawer.

that + you'll probably need to change the permissions on avatar.apk (I had to do this very recently).
AFAIK, you can't use astro to change permissions (or I at least gave up trying to figure that out). Instead I had to get Root Explorer (~$4.00 or so) so I could change the permissions on the things that needed to go in system/apps.
IIRC, for avatar, you'll need to set the permissions to rw-r-r then reboot before it'll show up in the app drawer on your phone.
I just flashed the zips and they installed.

So I heard about the new swype and got the APk but when I try to install it says not installed. So I erased the original thinking that was the problem but now when I try to install any version I get the exact same message. Any suggestions?
Use root explorer and move it into system/app once it's there click to install.

Ok this might be a stupid question but is there anyway to make this work on the mytouch 4g ? I moved from the vibrant to the 4g and I really dont want to use a normal task killer . I really liked how this worked . Thanks in advance !
Will this work on axura 2.2.5.7?
Update: I tried to install this but it didn't work. :-(

I downloaded and installed it right from this thread....didn't use root explorer. What is the correct way to install this, if mine was wrong.
*** Sent from my Samsing Vibrant (Axura 2.2.5.7) using xda app
Root Explorer or adb push to /system/app. Don't try to install like a normal app.
I just installed root explorer. Is this [LINK] a good tutorial on how to use RootExplorer... I couldn't find a step by step tutorial on xda.
root explorer is easy to use.
its just like using the stock files, but you can see other things that require root.
if your installing a app, and it won't let you install by just clicking it, then you go to the file, menu, copy/move, then go to system/app/ then paste/move it there, and then get out of that app, and in your app drawer, the app should be installed.
I'm running Cyanogen Mod on my Vibrant, and trying to get this APK installed. Using Root Explorer, I copied/pasted the APK to the system/app directory, but this didn't do anything.
Other things I tried:
- Opening all permissions to the APK that is in the system/app directory
- Rebooting
- Verifying that "allow non-market apps" is checked
- Using Root Explorer to browse to app, selecting it and choosing "install"
Nothing is working. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is this an incompatibility between the Task Manager "JobManager.apk" and Cyanogen?
Thanks in advance for anyone's advice.

More than likely, its an incompatibility issue between I'm assuming a 2.2 ROM and a CM7 which is 2.3.

Glad I'm not the only one.......haven't seen the "trial ended" note but it just stopped working today and I thought maybe I had inadvertanly changed a setting.
I can't seem to install the new Swype. I rm'd Swype.apk from /system/app using ConnectBot. When the installer runs, it prompts me that it's a system app. When I select install, I get a green check mark and "Application not installed."
Are there any other files that I have to delete for it to install correctly?

Yeah there is a file or two in system/lib you gotta delete. I remember one but cannot find the other one. So Im stuck where you are too.
*edit Nevermind, you gotta reboot after you uninstall those two files [the apk and the libswypescore or whatever its called.] Then after reboot the new apk will install. Im now on the latest 3.6.84.etc whatever the version number is

I had gotten to the same point. So I copy and pasted a Swype apk from an old Rom I still have (SC 2.9.2) to my system/app to see if that would work but it didn't take. Then without removing the apk, I tried running the installer again and it took. Not sure how or why but I've got swype back.

Download the bloatware restorer from the GingerBlur thread, and then search for the DLNA apk.
found it and downloaded the dlna.apk. unable to install it. says "application was not installed"
You could also install gladiatrix.
Then put the gingerblur theme on top

You can only restore it via the CWM update process.
Basically take the bloatware.zip and remove everything but the dlna apk file and restore it... works perfectly.
The apk will not work by itself.
Also, don't unzip it... Just view the contents and delete what you don't want. It's in System App and there's some ATT stuff in Data I think
Cool give it a shot in 10 mins

Didn't work. Hung up @ installing

downloads ginger blur again. Open the ginger blur zip and goto system/app/ get the dlna.apk on ur desk top and the drag it into winrar with window open to system/app/ .
Then flash with cwm and u will have the app. I did this for mine but i did it on a fresh install
i'll give it another shot 2nite. does it matter as to which CWM I use?
Part Three – Tenfar’s CWM Recovery
or
Alternate CWM
going to try this tonight. I just want to add the DLNA and the Media Share. Im a noob at this. Which method worked best for you? Thanks in Advanced!
I'm gonna wait unil 2.3 comes out sometime in july and see what these guys have up their sleeves.

Swype:3.269.2

Market 3.2.11 (need to change name to vending)

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?
