you should include as a alternative on root explorer to search "swype" and delete all the files it shows besides ones that are in titaniumbackup or sd card.

Hi,
I'm having problem with this crap swype !!
Somthing happened and it doesn't show in input anymore !
When I try to install it I got installation failed !!
I went to manage application and I didn't find it there !
So guy where does main files for this crap stored in ! So I can delete them manually and try to install it again !
It's driving me crazy !
I don't know how to remove it but try this first. Go to Manage Applications, press the menu key, select Filter then All. You should be able to find Swype located at the bottom. You can't remove it but select clear data and force closed to see if this helps you.
I hope that helps.
^^^^^
I tried that also but I got same thing swype doesn't show !
yo just get root explorer and go to system/app. loook for swype in that folder and delete it! if you want, you can also delete some swype file from the .lib folder but thats probably not necessary

You cannot remove applications in /system/app. The only way to remove Swype are:
A) Use ADB commands to uninstall it. Search XDA for the ADB thread
B) Get Root Explorer and go into /system/app and delete Swype.apk
Both of these methods require root.
removed swype
i did it by stopping the swype process.
SGS Tools>menu>cleanup System apps>advanced mode> (find swype and stop it)> reboot
ran the swype installer again (beta thing from the site), and it installed.
get absolute system and just uninstall it with that, it completely gets rid of it
Could register for swype beta and download the installer for a reinstall

No need to do it hard way.
Just open Super Manager and go to APK Manager. Then uninstall swype.
Then reboot and you can install Swype BETA
I want to try to replicate hulu on the 3d like the 4g.
Here is the difficulty, which may not be resolved until perm root or a work around to refreshing system apps.
To get this to work, I need to do the following:
1. Use root uninstaller to uninstall flash player
2. Use root uninstaller to uninstall flash lite. (After 4 months, finally notice that it was still installed)
3. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All> locate all of your browsers and clear cache, clear info.
4. restart phone (only way to install modified flash player after uninstall)
5. Install hacked 10.3 or whatever you want, then install hulu.apk (no link to files google them)
6. Do not restart phone
7. Open stock browser
8. Type "about:debug" in URL, then hit enter
9. Go to menu>settings and set "UAString" to "Desktop" (if you don't see UAString, repeat 7 & 8)
10. Exit back to browser, go to a full webpage. (ex: http://www.google.com)
11. Repeat step 7 and Clear all the following; all cookie data, cache, history, form data, password, location access.
12. Exit back to browser
13. finally go to hulu and test it out
but the main issue is that I can't restart the phone so that I can install modified flash player. Fast reboot does not refresh the system apps, so unless someone makes one that does without loosing perm-temp root, then I'm stuck.
any help would be appreciated.
I used titanium to uninstall flash then installed modded flash and hulu works fine. When you uninstall with titanium you don't need to reboot.

I found a link here on hwo to install the swype beta on a different phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154334
So you don't have to click here are the steps
1) To update the pre-installed Swype to Swype beta you have to have root access or else this isn't going to work
2) Download "Root App Remover" and "Root Explorer" from the android market
3) Run Root App Remover (it will take a minute for it to initially scan the phone for system and user apps)
4) Using Root App Remover go to system apps scroll down to Swype tap it and press recycle, to completely uninstall it (which you have to do) press menu then "SystemApp Recycler" and uninstall it.
5) Run Root Explorer and press the "Mount R/W" button at the top if it isn't already selected, after that to go "system" folder then the "lib" folder and delete the file "libswypecore.so" (if it isn't there then go back into system and then back again)
6) After that go into the "data" folder then the "data" folder and delete "com.android.android.inputmethod" file (if its not there then quit root explorer)
7) After that go to the Swype Beta Website and register, go through all the various steps untill you've finished downloading and installing the Swype Installer.
8) Run Swype Installer and go through all the steps, then download and install the Swype Beta, generate the license using the installer and your done the newest Swype beta is now installed one you Samsung Galaxy S

So in step 6 when you go to delete the file, I don't see that in my list and wanted to know if it has a different name for our phone.
I tried just un-installing Swype with titanium backup (after backing it up) and then installing the beta but after a restart it would throw an error saying Swype stopped working over and over again until I de-selected it. But I did not follow these steps, only the uninstall and install portions.
Any advice is appreciated.
I had the same issue but then I tried the steps again, and restarted twice and it seemed to work. now I get an error after boot saying it isn't licensed correctly but then it goes away and works for me perfectly.

I uninstalled Swype with TBP, deleted the libswypecore.so file, rebooted, and installed the beta. It was that simple for me...
Swype beta has many enhanced features that the stock version does not have. It also contains links to an extensive system of help files, videos, tutorials, etc. to get you proficient at using swype. And last but not least, the dark beta keyboard display looks cool on the Droid X2. (See screen shots below.) However it will not install on our phone because the X2 stock version is a system app and Swype beta is installed as a user app. (The Swype beta installer checks to see if you have a system version of Swipe on your phone, and will not install the beta if you do.) If you would like to try out the enhanced beta version here is the easiest way I have found to install it.
First, you MUST be rooted. This method assumes you are rooted and are using Titanium Backup and Root Explorer.
To uninstall the stock version do this...
1. In settings, select a keyboard input method other than Swype.
2. Make a backup of the stock Swype app with TBU, in case you want to reinstall it.
3. Next, wipe data with TBU, then uninstall the program. (This will uninstall the app "/system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod" and it's associated data files.)
4. With Root Explorer, go to the /system/app folder and check for a file called Swype.apk. If it is there delete or rename it. There may also be a lib file with a path of /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so. If this file is present, you should delete it as well.
5. At this point some folks have advised wiping cache and Dalvik cache with the X2 Recovery app, but if the above steps are followed, I have not found this to be necessary. Use your own discretion.
Now Swype is gone from your X2, and you are free to install the new beta version. If you already have the Swipe Beta Installer app on your phone, just use that. If not, go to http://beta.swype.com/ and follow the instructions to install the latest beta version.
Remember that the beta version of Swype is a user app (installed in the /data/app directory). If you are upgrading to a ROM that has the stock system version built in, and you are not intending to do a complete data wipe, then you will want to uninstall the beta first. Then you can follow these steps again after you upgrade your ROM.
Enjoy.

put those five files onto the micro sd card
Step 1:
settings>applications>unknown sources>tick it
settings>applications>development> USB debugging> tick it
Step 2:
Go to the inbuilt app ES File Explorer
find the GingerBreakv1.20.apk
install the GingerBreakv1.20.apk (I installed it on mine but it made my micro sd card useless i dunno what was with this but it still got gingerbreak on it it just made card die so use at your own risk =_= it still install it fine tho might of been a defect of a cheap card)
Root the device by going through the steps
When you complete the steps you should see Superuser in your applications
Go back to ES File Explorer
Find Root Explorer v2.14.2.apk
Install Root Explorer v2.14.2.apk
Click allow for permissions for the Root Explorer
Once you have Root explorer installed open it and fine the folder sd card
Press and hold the Vending.apk until the menu pops up and choose copy
go back to Root Explorer
go to system
go into app
on the top press Mount R/W
and then press the paste button on the bottom
Find where you pasted Vending.apk
Hold Vending.apk for the menu and press permissions
Make sure all the columns are ticked and select OK
once you get to this step you should see the market icon but you're not done yet you need to go through the same thing you did for Vending.apk for GoogleServicesFramework.apk and MarketUpdater.apk
and you should get it

This all worked perfectly on my Viewpad 7e with one small issue when copying the 3 .apk files to the /system/app folder, make sure they are not a 0kb size. If they are just recopy them over and overwrite the files and it should copy correctly with a valid size.
The market wont have allot of apps since the device doesn't support the market natively, so I did a few tricks to get most of my apps on to the Viewpad 7e. You will need to have access to a second Android devices to do the following.
1) Install File Expert (free in the market) on your second Android device
2) Open File Expert and go to My Apps and select the apps you want to install on your Viewpad 7e, then click Backup on the bottom menu. This will creat the .apk files to install on your Viewpad 7e and put them on your SD card.
3) Copy the .apk files from SD card to your Viewpad 7e
4) Open a file manager on your Viewpad 7e and install your apps.
Most apps will work ok but some will bug out and you might be forced to reboot the viewpad 7e (press and hold the power button until it powers off)
If you use Titanium Backups it will install and allow you to restore apps and data, but be warred this will not work 100% so only use it to restore the data not the apps.
Note: If your app was installed on your SD card when your backup was done when you restore the data it will make the app unlaunchable. This should be fine if you move the app to SD card before restoring the data.
Here is a list of my working apps on my Viewpad 7e
aLogcat
androidVNC
Angry Birds (all 3)
Blogger
Chrome to phone
Coin Dozer
Google Docs
Documents To Go
Facebook and Messenger
File Expert
Gmail
Google+ and Messenger
Google Maps, Latitude, Places
MarketEnabler
Google Reader
Root Explorer
Tapatalk
Titanium Backup (debugging error and hangs on restoring some apps)
Google Translate
Twitter (acted odd on first run and needed to reboot, opened fine after)
Vplayer
My Country
The Sims 3
Pocket Legends
Star Legends
Youtube
Order and Chaos
I will add more apps to the list as I test them.
Update 1:
I upgraded the firmware manually since when I tried OTA it wouldn't find my wireless connection (even thou it was connected and surfing).

Hey,
at first thx for the great HOWTO. Everything worked fine for me. The only thing that also bothers me is the memory problem as often mentioned before.
Perhaps its good to know that I'm from Germany and have a branded Device from strato . But before I began with your instructions I installed the official update FV70_VSEI_S_W_C_11252011 so everything should normally worked.
The only thing that makes me curious is that the widget of the apps that were preinstalled by strato are still there. Is there a possibilty that you have to clear the dalvik oder whatsoever cache before the market works without memory problems?
Go to the link, update to 28112011 file. Root it and instal
The market. I have no problems downloading apps from google play but if you see apps that are writtem not compatible, you have to download from one mobile market

The probleme is not that there is no space on device, but that there is no space in "/cache"
The easy workaround is copying /cache/recovery elsewhere on your SDcard or device (to back it up) and deleting it from /cache/
After that everything work fine ...
NB : If you want to restore factory settings, don't forget ... recopy the recovery directory in /cache
It won't brick because there's bootloader that let you reboot with actual settings or loading an update.
NB2 : I haven't had time for now but there's a 2GB unused partition... let's see ...
Ot;
I followed every Point and was able to move the Cache link to sd-Card.
My question goes to the developers. Is there any work on custom Rom eG bootloader or Even cm Mod?i tried to theme it but with no succsess.
Please dev's. Dont forget us viewpad 7e Users.
Since ViewSonic has no clue what adb is I gave this tablet to my kid since that's what this tablet is "A TOY". I will no longer be dealing with this tablet or company and have purchased a ASUS TF300T and will start developing for that tablet.
