So the AWS 345 includes a newer version of swype (2.27). And since everyone likes updates to things I decided to give instructions for those not on 345. Sorry I can't just post the apk, it's against swype's distribution rules.
1. Download the 345 update.zip from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12104394&postcount=13
2. Using rom explorer, delete or rename (to Swype.bak or Swype.original or something) system/app/Swype.apk
3. Do the same for system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
4. Reboot
5. From the downloaded update.zip find the Swype.apk from /system/app and copy it to your phone
6. Install
7. Enjoy
Thanks for that
Glad to see you did not post the Apk
Does this still include preinstalled swype apks? They're preactivacted to that specific device and (i'm guessing) cant be installed to other devices without hacking it.
can anyone please tell whether this update removes or not the diabolic "hidden word" popup that's haunting my nightmares from day one of purchase?
Still pops up unfortunately...you'll have to get the latest beta for no hidden word popup

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"

yes, but my reason for posting it is because it contains the script to flash along with it being signed. this way the only thing missing are the files.

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.
I installed by giving them my email getting the apk and installing...you could almost calk it average lol

can someone provide me a copy of swype.apk and libswypecore.so? Thanks.
Comment removed.
Didn't know it was against the rules to post the .apk.
My bad!
@aussiehairspray
If I'm not mistaken, I don't think this is allowed to be posted... Swype's rules.
I'm no admin but I just don't want to see you get in trouble.

You are not mistaken. Posting the swype apk and lib files is not allowed and is actually illegal

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.
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App
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.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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 don't get it. I'm on caulkin and clems 2.2 rom and when I try to change the keyboard it warns me of possible data collection and asks if I want to proceed....but the box wont stay checked. Both slideit and swype do this. I haven't found shapewriter yet. Someone tell what I am doing wrong plz!!!! I can't stand this keyboard.
The rom you are using does not support changes in keyboard. Do this:
1) Open root explorer
2) Navigate to sdcard/data/apps
3) Long press>edit>copy the apk of the keyboard you want to use
4) Navigate in root explorer to system/data/apps
5) Mount r/w
6) Paste
7) Mount r/o
8) <<Do the same for all your other input methods you want to install>>
9) Reboot and it now works.

First, I just wanted to thank you since no one else replied! I tried to upgrade to the latest Calkulin and Clem combo but the tablet doesn't like the newer kernel so I put Pershoot's latest kernel on instead.
Robeet is apparently pulling all his ROMs and developing one called Mountain Laurel. Honestly, I don't know what a good ROM is. I want GPU acceleration so I guess that means I have to use a 2.2 ROM because Ginger doesn't accelerate. And I want NTFS access.
ANYWAAAAYyyyy..... I tried to find the apk in the sdcard/data/apps and it didn't seem to be there. I tried to move the original installer apk file (sitting in my download folder) to the folder you suggested but I'm guessing that it's not THAT apk you are telling me to move. But may be I'm wrong.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Besides this and not getting any EA games to work (??...they won't download additional data) I actually like the ROM I'm on.
So unless you think I should change ROMs or know what I'm doing wrong I guess I'm screwed right now.
Hey,
No problem I was equally new 2 months back and had great help from the community. Next time when you can solve probs for others do it too
I personally love Roebeet's roms so i think TNT Lite is awesome.
If the apk is not there, it is probably in data/apk_private. Btw, if you are using swype, the beta version doesnt seem to work -> i tried a month back. Not sure about slideit. I used shapewriter before on the g tab and found it incredibly ugly haha.
For swype you need a modded version:
Instructions:
1) Google this: swype v2.6.48.12226 wsvga
2) Click on first result
3) Go to post 53 and read it.
Disclaimer: i found this over the net as well.
Hey all i just wanted to ask is there any way 2 get the old text messaging program back instead of the one thats installed with this one i liked the stock Antrix one. And i know before u could say yes or no to install it but he changed the install methed and could not do that no more so if any one could help me please do so thanks <3
Well i fixed it i found this

For those like me who need corporate sync and like the blur universal inbox you can install just that portion of the moto bloatware instead of all of it.
** EDIT ** I'm adding a couple more applications now. Please, others jump in to do other applications because I'm out of time working on my Atrix for this week!
** WARNING ** I'm not an android dev and this process has only been tested on my phone. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
There are 3 files attached.
messaging.zip - restores original blur messagine apps, including corporate sync, txt messaging with balloon conversation mode, and the universal inbox. It does not have the messaging widget.
taskman.zip - if you liked moto's Task Manager app, this will restore it for you so you can kill tasks and uninstall like before GB.
gallery.zip - restores the moto Medial Gallery application. Note the GB version of Gallery will still exist and both will work.
Quick instructions:
* You will need CWM Recovery for this
* Follow CWM instructions exactly - especially the part about plugging into the AC adapter or it won't work!
**NOTE** this will also install the original blur txt messaging interface with the conversation balloon mode. Its all one application so no way around it that I know of.
1) copy one of the zip files (attached) to your sdcard root directory
2) run CWM according to instructions in its thread
3) after reboot into CWM select "Install zip from SDCARD"
4) select "Choose zip from internal sdcard"
5) scroll down to the zip file name (ex: messaging.zip)
6) select the file (power button) and run the update
7) go back to main menu and select "Reboot system now"
A few steps but doesn't take long. I just pulled these out of the gingerblur-bloatware.zip and figured out what file structure you have to leave in place for it to function.
Hope this will save people some time.

I think there's a bloatware restorer on the greyblur site. Try that.
Will that install it all back tho or will i be able to pic
well ill look at it and see if it can do only one thing
thanks i forgot about that
Alright so i found them in the files there how do i delete the new one and get this old one back on there? im so confused help!
Still have not figured it out some one help?

That thread helped me how 2 install the files but i cant install them it tells me
Application not installed any clue how 2 fix this and remove the old one some thing? any one?
You need to download the messaging bloatware zip, reboot into recoverymode and use CWM to install that zip file... It's the same process as installing grey/gingerblur.
Well if i new where the messaging bloatware zip was i would try 2 get that
i know they have the full one with everything but is there one with only the messaging part? or some thing like that?
Well i tryed 2 just install the messager part and i soft bricked my phone just fixed that but still dont have the old messaging system
Go to the android development section and find the gingerblur thread (it shouldn't be difficult). Then go to the gingerblur website given in the thread and download the bloatware.zip. you will also need tenfars cwm recovery which is in the development section also. Then just flash the zip file using the cwm recovery guide. Make sure your phone is plugged into a wall outlet charger when you do this (not a computer USB port) or it won't work.

What i have posted here is the leaked Market APK, from the new Android version i.e. Ice Cream Sandwich.There is not much of the visual differences, but it still seems to be performing better.
It is somewhat, faster than the so called "New Market" that we got on our X10.
Just download and install the APK. If that doesn't works, follow the steps mentioned below.
Rooted Phone is must.
First enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES" in the Application Setting, of your Device Menu.
If you do struggle installing this version of the Market, the follow these steps:-
1)Download the file (Phonesky.apk), and copy it to your SD card.
2)In Root Explorer, find the file you just downloaded and copy it.
3)Move into /system/app and hit the R/W button to mount – then paste the file.
4)Find Vending.apk and rename it to something like Vending.apk1.
5)Long press on Phonesky.apk and rename it to Vending.apk.
6)Afterwards, long press on it again and choose “Permissions.”
7)Change the permissions to the ones in the attached thumbnail.
8)Now hit the OK button and reboot..
Hit thanks button, if you liked it
Wrong post, this belongs in themes and apps.

Now that the dump is out, im hosting the gmail apk again! enjoy!
here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".
