I didn't see a thread on how to do this anywhere in the MT4G forum, so I thought I would share.
If you want swype, but are not on their beta test program, do not want to muck about with their "installer" app, or deal with the reminders of beta status and app expiration; you can pull swype from a stock ROM and use it on your device.
As per the rules, you should not do this on a phone that does not have swype installed stock.
Also, this involves messing around in the "system" partition. While the risk is very low, you do this at your own risk.
First you will need to extract the needed files from a stock ROM. If you are still running the stock software, you can use a file explorer app to make a copy onto your SD card. Just copy and paste. You can also pull the files from the stock image or from the Iced glacier ROM. Pulling from Iced Glacier is the easiest method. Just unzip the ROM file and find the needed files.
There are two files, both in the system partition. The first is "Swype.apk" and is in /system/app folder. The second is "libSwypeCore.so" and is in /system/lib/ folder.
Edit: 7/25/11
It seems you must also conciser the source ROM and destination ROM when obtaining the files. Swype does a device/licence check when running, and if it fails the check then Swype will not work. The build.prop lists "t-mobile/htc/ect" as product.brand and Swype seems to check this before running. So use a version of Swype from a ROM with the same build.prop or edit the build.prop manually.
Now to install Swype:
There are two ways to do this, ADB or root explorer. (or other file manager with RW)
Any extra info to help explain what is going on for any new guys will be in green text.
For ADB:
First put the files you extracted into the tools folder of the android SDK, then open an ADB shell to your phone. When that is done, use the following commands. (each line is a separate command)
Remember Linux commands are case sensitive.
First is to mount /system as RW. (this allows you to save files to /system)
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
Then you need to push (save a copy) the files to the correct locations.
Code:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
It may give the files the wrong permissions. (how much access to the system they have) Just to be safe we need to give the files the right permissions.
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/Swype.apk
chmod 644 /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
sync
reboot
Your phone will reboot and then you are done.
For Root Explorer:
Extract a copy of the needed files and put them on the SD card.
Then open root explorer and open the "sdcard" folder.
Next find "Swype.apk" and long press it and select "copy" (or if you have already completed this step once, copy "libSwypeCore.so")
Use the back button to go back to the root of the folder tree (up top where it shows your current location, it will show "/" this is where you started from when opening the app)
Locate and open the "system" folder.
You then need to tap the button up top marked "Mount R/W" (this will allow you to make changes and copy the files to the right locations) (this step should not be needed if you have already done so before)
Next open the "app" folder. (or if you are moving "libSwypeCore.so" open the "lib" folder)
Hit the "paste" button to copy the file.
Next long press the file you just copied "Swype.apk" and select "permissions" (or "libSwypeCore.so" as appropriate)
You will see a bunch of check boxes. The will be labeled "read" "write" "execute" across the top and "user" "group" "others" down the left side.
For "user" select the "read" and "write" boxes
For "group" and "others" select the "read" box only. Then select "OK"
When done with the first file, repeat the above steps again with the second file. Observe any changes to the steps that are in orange text.
Next open up a "terminal emulator" app and then run the following commands.
Code:
su
sync
reboot
Your phone will reboot and then you are done.
Hope this helps someone.
When I pushed the files to CM7 I completely forgot about checking permissions when it didn't work.
I do however prefer the newest Swype from the beta program since it has speech recognition. Your information should help me porting my Blackout Swype themes over to the MT4G with creating a proper flashable zip that will work with any ROM, and for that I thank you.

No problem, I was thinking of creating a flashable zip for my cousin, he doesn't like to mess around with this stuff... but he lives on the computer, go figure. I just need the signing app, actually its not needed with the new recoveries that allow unsigned zips to be flashed, but it would be nice.
I cant get the swype from iced glacier onto cm7. I follow all the steps perfectly and can select the swype keyboard but when I try to type nothing happens except a flashing blue border around the keyboard. Its pretty annoying.

Thats odd, I used this to get it on to CM7 and it works fine. Where did you source the files from? Permissions are rw-r-r?
Thanks so much for this! I don't use the voice feature and I always hit it on accident, so I've been missing the stock version. I also didn't care for the blue all that much.
I am new to this. Could I use this technic for the others stock apps (calendar, clock/weather widgets...)? Thanks!

No, the apps you are speaking of are HTC apps. They are integrated into the HTC Sense framework.
Moving default apps between ROMs that have custom UIs, like sense, can be problematic. Many default apps have been setup to work with the custom UI and framework only.

Probably has a device check, and the ROM you are using is giving the wrong device.
I believe the panache is the Canadian version, so it may be that the licence is regional as well.

I figured it out for us (those of us on Virtuous Unity)!!! Haha, I'm so stoked. K, so I changed my build.prop of ro.product.brand to =tmobile, I think it's originally htc_wwe or something (This was after extracting my system backup for stock froyo and comparing the differences). Then uninstalled swype, rebooted, and then followed the terminal steps listed in the OP. Good luck.

Here is an apk for Google Talk that I have hacked to work on the NC. Rename /system/app/Talk.apk to something else and stash this one in there.

You WILL need a different keyboard other than the stock one! This one is great:

Known Issues:
App exits immediately if you tap on a contact's avatar. This is because the contact management dependencies are not available on the NC.
Thank you very much. It works well.
I'm curious... what did you modify to get the Talk.apk to work?
Could you post a link on how to replace the keyboard? I think you rename the new one latinime.apk and place it somewhere...

Did you also apply the hack to enable Gmail and Android Market previously posted by Mistar Muffin? I believe those steps are a prerequisite to get GTalk to work.
Hmm...this is where I am...gmail/market all set, original talk application didn't work, so I renamed the talk apk's to end in bak, so they wouldn't be running in the background.
I've renamed the other two back to normal, and have slid the apk from this thread over into system/apps. I can't install it from the unit (not allowed anymore since the gmail/market install)
Talk doesn't appear in my app list. Is it because I haven't installed the apk? Assuming this is the case, if I install it using adb when I get home, that should clear thigns up, correct?

OK. I'm going to assume that you have remounted the /system filesystem as read-write since you say that you renamed the original Talk.apk. Really no need to rename it as it is not an original system binary and it doesn't and will never work.
So, with /system read-write, copy the NEW Talk.apk into /system/app
Change it's permissions to 755 (rwx-rx-rx).
Reboot.
works great. thanks, muffin!

can permissions be changed within root explorer?
on vending.apk, for example, long press to get to the permissions option. Theres a 3x3 grid with 'read' 'write' 'execute' as columns and 'user' 'group' 'others' as rows.
edit: dont mean to get off topic but my market worked when i checked all the boxes in the row 'user' then rebooted. so maybe that works for talk as well.

I renamed them to .apk, from .bak. I had changed them rather than moving or deleting them, and meant that I had renamed them to their original names. Which still makes no sense...lol.
I didn't think to change the permissions...I had it sitting at rwx-r-r, swapping to rwx-rx-rx did the trick. Thanks for putting up with stupid questions, your help is greatly appreciated.

The "talk.apk" link doesn't work for me; I've tried copying and pasting the link on both Google Chrome and also on IE9, chrome says the site doesn't exist and IE does nothing (acts as if I just clicked the refresh their default homepage).
First of all..
THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SWYPE!!!!
Also, I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone...
This is just a zip file that can be used to install swype to a custom rom.
What is Needed...
1)The attached Zip file
2)Swype.apk and libswypecore.so
3)Clockwork Recovery (i tested using clockwork 3.0.0.6)
4)7-Zip (or any other zip utility that can place files into a zip without extracting)
How to...
1) Open up the attached file in 7-Zip
2) Place Swype.apk in the "app" folder
3) Place libswypecore.so in the "lib" folder
4) Place the zip file in your sdcard
5) Boot into recovery
6) Go to mounts and storage
7) Mount "system"
8) Go to the main menu and install the zip file
9) Reboot and go to any text field
10) Hold the text field until a popup appears
11) Click "input method"
12) Select Swype
If for some reason it does not work, go to the system folder using root explorer or something similar and make sure the permissions are as follows for both the Swype.apk and the libswypecore.so
User: Read Write
Group:Read
Others:Read
If this procedure does not work for any reason, please send me a pm with the following information
1) Rom
2) Recovery Version
Also: Special Thanks to Marine6680
This is just a zip file.

An easier way to do this, which is what I have been doing, is to simply use a File Manager with Read/Write (Root) privileges and copy the libswypecore.so file into your system/lib directory and then install the Swype.apk like a normal app. This way you can do everything without needing to reboot.

so quick question, how would I go about uninstalling this?
Swype FCs every time it tries to load.
Mytouch 4g CM 7.02
I'm getting force closes as well using the files posted here. I followed these instructions here because after installing via the sywpe installer beta everytime I rebooted my phone it wouldn't trace anymore. To fix this I needed to disable and reenable swype. So as of right now I'm still outta luck.
To remove swype though simply go into titanium and scroll down to swype and delete it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Unfortunately swype force closes are not due to this zip and chances are it is the ROM. I would suggest trying fix permissions from recovery or ROM manager. Other than that I would not know what would be causing the force closes.

maybe i'm confused but i just went to swype.com and registered for beta and it works fine
is this different?
Before I ever tried the files here I used the beta installer that I registered and it seemed like everytime I rebooted it wouldn't swype anymore and the keyboard would flash like an error. I've been running cyanogenmod nightlies, currently on 61. I've tried fixing permissions before but it never corrected the issue.

I tried the Root Explorer method with the same results. No matter what I do to install Swype on any ROM other than CM7, I can't get the keyboard to "swype". I've even created a new account with swype to download it again with no luck. I'm close to using something other than CM7 as my daily ROM but I need Swype! Any more ideas?
Thanks!!
When it won't swype after reboot. Try selecting another board, type something, then go back to swype and slide. Used to work for me when I was using swype
this worked flawlessly! thanks
im running nightlies. i downloaded iced glacier for the original swpe .apk and libswpe files. just selected update zip from sdcard in clockwork.
forse closes, then i uninstalled and uses root explorer to copy both files, than i change the permissions, it worked but gave error about licencing, that this is for some other device. im using htc panache stock GB ROM.
than yesterday i realized new beta is out i re-registered and installed the latest beta which is ofcourse much better , only thing im missing is light colored theme of oribngnal swype.

I got the constant force close using the new swype 3.0 the way I fixed it was deleted it then right after I reinstalled it I rebooted in to recovery and cleared both caches and fixed permissions. I don't think rom manager fix permission is working right for this version.

I'm no expert, and it's not my style, but I'll give it a try and report back in a few minutes.
EDIT: I got it partially working, I installed the apk in the zip, and moved the files in the system/lib directory of the zip file to /system/lib. after that you can use the wallpaper without a force close, but it doesn't fill the screen. I'll try one more thing and include a screenshot.
you'll need to pull the files from an htc device that is qhd. I think the sensation is qhd, but I'm not sure.

If you stuff your phone I take no, zero, none, nada, zip, zilch responsibility for it.
The following method is for adb, you could most likely use root explorer of file expert, but you need a file manager that lets you remount system as read/write. It assumes you know how to get the files to your phone/sd-card and have the android sdk, and know how to use it. I also assume that you know how to backup, have backed up and know how to restore (nandroid, rom manager, tibu, whatever).
1. Start a windows command prompt; if you can't do this, then stop right here.
2. type 'adb shell'
3. see code block below
Code:
su (accept prompt on phone if needed)
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system
cd [PATH TO FILES]
cp Mode10Wallpapers.apk /system/app
chmod 644 /system/app/Mode10Wallpapers.apk
cp libicule.so /system/lib
chmod 644 /system/lib/libicule.so
cp libiculx.so /system/lib
chmod 644 /system/lib/libiculx.so
cp libmode10_alpha.so /system/lib
chmod 644 /system/lib/libmode10_alpha.so
cp libmode10_wallpapers.so /system/lib
chmod 644 /system/lib/libmode10_wallpapers.so
cp libmode10Graphics_alpha.so /system/lib
chmod 644 /system/lib/libmode10Graphics_alpha.so
You should now see the HTC Sense LWP option in your live wallpaper selector. If not reboot and see if that does it. Setting the permissions is key.
You can do the same with root explorer/file expert by copying the files to the appropriate folder (apk to /system/app and the *.so to /system/lib) and changing permissions, you just have to remount /system as read/write for the files to actually copy over.
If you stuff your phone I take no, zero, none, nada, zip, zilch responsibility for it.
First time I tried this I did a bulk chmod on /system/lib and on the next reboot
I was stuck in recovery. So as painstaking as it is the one by one method of copying and permission setting is the safest (for me at least).
THIS IS NOT CWM FLASHABLE
Thanks for this!

cp is a linux/unix command for copy.

if it's force closing then you should recheck the permissions on all the files (and make sure they all copied over), and try a reboot. this does work.

Is there any way to port over the "weather" LWP from the new Evo 3d? ? NOW THATS A WALLPAPER that would be sick to see on our devices!!!

Discontinued. The latest versions of all previously supported ROMs have this functionality built in.
This gives you an over-scroll glow when you reach the end of a list.
I really hope you knew that before clicking on this thread.
Example if you don't know what I'm talking about
It's just a modified framework.jar with modified files allowing the over-scroll to work and the correct glow images assigned to it. Theming is very easy, just colorize the over-scroll glow pngs in framework-res.apk. The default is orange.
What I want to do with this thread is sort of have a place where you can find the over-scroll enabling mod for every popular ROM for our phones. If you think I should support a ROM that I currently don't, then please post in the forums because I read every post! Ask to put a ROM on the wishlist. Upload the ROM's framework-res.apk and framework.jar files and I'll work on it when I'm not busy with school.
Currently, the wish list is:
Stock KH7
[Update on 10/15/11] UnNamed v1.0.1 compatible files uploaded. Give them a try. Honorable mention to quarlow
Installation:
BACK UP YOUR OLD FRAMEWORK.JAR
Because I'll just laugh at you if you complain that your phone won't boot up.
>>>ADB:
Code:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
adb remount
adb shell
su
cd /system/framework/
cp framework.jar framework.jar.backup
exit
exit
adb push framework.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
>>>ROOT EXPLORER:
Extract the CWM package to get the framework.jar
Okay, now you can theoretically do this, but why would you want to? You'll get lots of crashes and might mess something important up.
Go to: /system/framework/ and rename framework.jar to something else. Go back to where-ever you saved my modified framework.jar and copy it over to /system/framework/ and change the permissions of the new framework.jar to match the old one. I'm pretty sure it's rw-r--r--, but don't quote me on that. + Restart your phone.
Simba501 has a more indepth tutorial on how to install this mod through Root Explorer here
>>>RECOVERY (preferred):
Flash the one specific to the ROM you're running
Whatever method you choose, know that it will take a stupidly long time for your phone to boot-up. Don't worry though, it'll be worth the wait.
Yoderk created some cool themes for the over-scroll glow for Cognition Beta-4 which you can find HERE.
UnNamed 1.0.1 works with 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 as well.
Also, please remember to say THANKS if I helped you!
cwm please!!

It's there if you REALLY need it. I haven't tested it and to be honest, it's been a very very long time since I made my last CWM compatible file. Maybe it works though, try it out. If not, then use one of the other methods.
Fine work sir! Works well on Cog Beta 4.

That's awesome! Someone test it on stock w/ root, because if it works there, I'll be amazed.
Confirming that the cwm flashable zip works on cog beta 3!
Working fine here. I'm technically on Beta 1, but I've manually added the components I wanted from each Beta update because there were things I didn't want.
I have a suggestion. I don't know why everyone repeats that method for using root explorer. That's a terrible way to do it. I always use root explorer to manually replace my files and have never experienced any issues. Here is the correct way to use root explorer for manually replacing modded files:
1. Navigate to the file that you plan to replace (in this case, system/framework/framework.jar).
2. Copy (not move) the file and paste it somewhere on your SD card (internal or external, doesn't matter - as long as you can locate it in case you need to put it back). Rename the file you just pasted, but very subtly. For example, when renaming framework.jar, I would only throw something in front of the file name, such as "Backup - framework.jar", so I can easily distinguish it from the new file if I put them in the same spot.
3. NANDROID BACKUP!
4. Download/put on your sd card (whatever you do) the new file that you want to replace the old one with.
5. Move the new file to /system (not in a subfolder yet). Here you will change the permissions, which is crucial to avoid FCs and problems. In root explorer, you would long press the file, press permissions, and set them to whatever the old file's permissions are. This may require going to verify what they are before starting this step. In this case, the permissions are RW-R-R, which in root explorer, means that the first two boxes on the first line are checked and only the first box on the next two lines are checked.
6. Ensure that your new file is correctly named to exactly what it is replacing (case actually matters) and that the permissions also match what it is replacing.
7. Move your new file to the folder, root explorer will ask if you want to replace the file. Confirm.
8. Back out of root explorer and immediately reboot.
No force closes, no problems .
Cwm file worked great on cog beta 4. Thnkz!!

Thanks! I added your tutorial to the OP.
Well if your like me and hate orange! Then here are two framework-res.apk with a blue and green overscroll color. Just rename them to framework-res.apk and overwrite the original file in system/framework.
Do not forget to back up original file! I claim no responsibility to problems.
Very subtle but a very nice touch...kudos...came zip worked great!!!

stock with root, i've got nothing. tried root explorer method and cwm
Does this still have the problem of not changing the Contacts or other Samsung apps?

Alright this may be Cog4 only... if you want, upload your framework.jar and framework-res.apk and I'll mod it for you and let me know if that works.

Yes. Those need the tw-framework to be modified and I haven't taken a look at those yet since I'm trying out Perception for a couple of days and that already has it coded in? But it isn't a problem per-say, it's just how Samsung decided to code those specific apps and there isn't a way to implement them in 2.3.4 without breaking the slide left to call, slide right to message, feature. 2.3.5 Roms have that built in on Samsung apps.
Problem probably isn't the best word.
Thanks for answering though. I always wanted the overscroll but having mixed bothered me.

There's a leaked 2.3.5 ROM for the i777 but personally I'm using designgear's Perception which is a port of a i9100 ROM and it works perfectly. I'd recommend the latter since leaked ROMs tend to have problems.

could you modify the framework.jar for UnNamed v1.0.1 - First ever well documented and open source stock derived rom? It has the extended power menu and if I overwrite the framework.jar using this it will break that extended power menu. Much thanks for getting the overscroll glow!!

Is there a way to get rid of the annoying arrows on the HTC keyboard. Im running the ViperLTE 2.2.0 rom and there is a option in venom tweaks to get rid of the arrows but it doesn't work.
please have a nandroid before doing this. if you break the keyboard you will need to install on from the market to rename it back to apk if you choose to do the second method.
push via adb
$ adb push HTC_IME.apk /system/app/HTC_IME.apk
$ adb reboot
or if you use a file explorer app go to /system/app
find HTC_IME.apk and rename it to .bak
place new one in spot
change permissions to RW*R**R**
reboot.
let me know if you need anymore help, i can make this a zip to flash too if you like.
edit: This should work on any sense 4.* ICS rom for the inc 4g but i only tested it on viper. Will not work on CM10.1 sorry
first keyboard i broke the predictive text. if anyone has downloaded this please delete the one that was around 4mb.
the new one i just uploaded is working 100% and should be about 4.5mb
should have fully tested it. sorry for any confusion.
My computer doesn't work and my phone won't let me use file manager. It would be great if it was a flash able zip file so that it can be easier.
