Swype: Parsing could not be installed - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

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.

I'm sorry... I really can't see why your confused.. you mean I should delete the swype file on my SD card too?

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.

Swype Beta is open again

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.

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.

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.

Do what this guy said... however a little more detailed:
Delete the Swype.apk file in System/App/ using root explorer. Once you do that, re-install using the installer utility.
You should be able to license at that point.
Edit: I did have an issue once where it was trying to add the license file to one of the com.swype folders in Data/Data/. If you do the steps but still can't license, go into that folder and give R/W permissions to any com.Swype folder.

Honestly, Just google Swype Beta, Sign up, enter your info. You can then download Swype installer and then you can use Sywpe. Version 3.0 just came out a few days ago.

Try this,
1. Uninstall swype, swype installer, or any left over cache
2. Search for any swype files or lib and delete them
3. Reboot
4. Install the apk attached
5. Log in, choose swype english, install, follow the directions on there until it's finished. Otherwise it won't license it if you don't follow all the directions from the app

I think the way I got it to "disable" Swype so it could license it or whatever was to just switch to the other keyboard momentarily.
well anyways im having the same problem but in simply honey 3.8
tried this, but it still won't license. I made sure i hit swype english. any suggestions?

If it is installed, go to settings, language and keyboard, uncheck Swype, then open Swype Installer and have it license it...let me know if it still doesn't work.

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

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] How do you install the OLDER android market

It's funny because I installed it once but yesterday I installed the alien Rom because I couldn't install the Camera.apk file so I just started from scratch installing a Rom with the camera.apk already install........so I went to the market and see it's the new one, I hate it.......so I went to applications and deleted market/ the update market file too........then place older version of android market in system/app (r/w) using supermanager and also selected the permission button. Then clicked install. "application not installed"!!!!!! Really so then I was without a Market app so I had to reinstall the Alien Rom. Things are so complicated with this device the Evo you could just replace the apk you're good to go. Deoxed
update: I got it. talk about head------ache. all I did was deleted the market app and replace with the "right" old market.apk file. then i had to delete the updater market.apk file because it kept updating the market app. so I did that and got a error type message which closed the market app down. so Then i went installed the update market.apk file again which didn't install so I said screw this deleted the update market.apk file went back to market app and it works now.... so I dunno
update2: I knew it was too good to be true. Yeah the market.apk installed right but it doesn't download apps. I also tried different market.apk version, then it force close again. Screw this i'm just going to find another Rom that hopefully let's you simply install a APK file. after googling, all this stuff about use ADB/android SDK to install a simple apk app this isn't for me. *sad face So yeah I'll just settle with the new android market forget customizing my phone yep.......

just "push" it to system/app? I heard that term before but not really sure what you mean unless just drop the market.apk file off in system/app without installing it. Well right now I have the new android market installed with the update.apk file.
Push/Copy. Same thing really, you should just be able to delete out the app and copy the old market into /system/app. Might not hurt to delete the market in the davlik cache as well.

10 posts? umm yea lol. well what I did was went to supermanager(explorer) then went to the old market.apk that's on my sd card click installed ----> "application not installed" maybe I have to install directely on the phone? Ok let's try that--------> "application not install" like does the photon require a "special" type of apk app that only works on the Photon. gosh. Like does your rom have to be doexed or something?
I'm running Alien1 rom......but can someone help because now I'm without android mark
update: wait I think I'm getting somewhere. I deleted the market.apk app then paste the "older" version. then hit run and boom the newer version installed. hmmmmm must not have the right "old" version.
Not exactly sure what my post count has to do with anything. However I'm glad you figured it out. Just an FYI though, when you update an app that comes preloaded on a rom it won't replace that app instead it'll append a "1" onto the new filename and use that instead hence why you needed to delete the updated file before it would recognize the old market that you pushed into the /system/app folder.

10 posts or not, he seems to know more than you about this, and he is right.You take the apk file and move it to system/app in your phone memory. You can do this with adb push, or use root explorer to put it there. Don't assume that because someone has a low post count they don't know what they are talking about.
You can also uninstall updates from the application manager. It'll re-update to the latest release, though.

I already knew this. That's why i went ahead and replace the files. My problem was why isn't the app working correctly. That seems to be a buggy phone issue because the apk file is in system/app
you can always uninstall the market update then use titanium backup to freeze market updater. When I did it on my Photon I installed the older version of Market (2.2something...) and then used terminal to run about 3 commands that disabled market updater. cant for the life of me find the instructions I followed, but then perhaps my post count isnt high enough for the OP either. Because you know in order to know ANYTHING you have to have a high post count.

UnNamed 2.2.1 Swype Problem

I've searched all over the i777 threads to find the answer but didn't, so here goes my question.
A couple of days ago I rooted my i777 and installed UnNamed 2.2.1. Love the ROM! This morning, I got a pop up about Swype, it wouldn't work anymore and to go to beta.swype.com for more information.
Of course I couldn't uninstall Swype and couldn't install the new beta, so I'm stuck without Swype, and that sucks!
How do I get Swype back?
uninstall swype with some sort of file explorer or ti backup. redownload swype beta installer apk, follow instructions....
TA DA you have swype beta again, at least thats how it always worked for me
I'm a bit of a noob so have no idea how to go about uninstalling Swype using a method other than normal...
I had the same issue. Thanks for posting the question and answer!

we all start somewhere, TiBu is useful, comes as a free version to test it out, i believe it lets you uninstall system files in the free version. otherwise some are known to use (file explorer es)??? i think thats it. any program that lets you get to the system files.
system->apps->scroll around till you find the swype file and delete

This worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much! Life is much better now that Swype is back.
I'm having the same problem, however, when I try and register on the swype site using dolphin and web the checkbox for terms and agreements isn't showing up so I can't get the email to download the installer. Are there any workarounds or alternate means of getting the installer?
*edit* I was able to get the swype installer, but I still can't register with the site to login and run their program.
*update* I'm not sure what I did wrong the first time, but I tried the other method in the post and it worked; after I flashed to an older rom and back. For whatever reason out kept force closing on me the first time.

Thanks! This worked for me too. I actually used the Swype beta installer since I had previously signed up anyway.
Just curious: Anyone know why this happened now? And whether this only happened to the UnNamed ROM or others?
I believe it happened to all roms with Swype pre installed on them. Since unnamed is based off of a stock model, that's why it was affected.
