Swype v3.0 won't install - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
Beware of angry gingerbread man

Do you know where the files that i should delete are located?

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.

Swype: Parsing could not be installed

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?

I don't think so.
I have the right swype installer from

i have a valid account.
as s15 said, its probably the error they tweeted

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.

market gone! can not get it back! tried many options! please help!

i havent been around here for a long time. i just upgraded to workshed's gingerbread, and metamorphed darkhorse over it. i wanted to be extra fancy, so i went and tried to give myself a blueish market. the link in the darkhorse thread was broken, so i grabbed the blue market i had been using. i followed the instructions on the darkhorse page, which said to remove:
Vending.apk out of system/app
com.android.vending out of data/data
com.android.vending-1.apk out of data/app
from there i adb push'ed my Vending.apk to the proper place. but nothing happened on the phone despite confirmation via adb. i rebooted phone, still no luck.
i tried this over and over with different markets of all versions and colors. i tried adb push and adb install. nothing works... all i want is my market back.. can anyone help?
Reflash the gapps package and you should be back to normal.

Please flash a gapps zip, you can grab it in the same thread as you did gingerbread. You have to flash the gapps after you flash a rom, that will install ur market,etc.
forgot to mention, i tried that too! after flashing gapps failed i tried to pull the market from it and manually install it, to no avail..
All I can think of is to clear your phone off and redo it all without the theme. You could use blackened gingerbread.

[Q] Swype Issues

Did anyone else's swype just stop working? I can still type, but I cannot swype??
On comm rom 2.0

Same for me. Trial ended, can't swype. On comrom 2.0

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.

[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.

[Q] How to get Swype Beta

All,
I really want to get the new Swype Beta with Dragon Speak on my MoPho. I an rooted and tried freezing the stock swype and DLing Beta from Swype. No luck. Ideas? Thanks!
Before doing this I strongly recommend you to back up these files
Using ROOT Explorer
Browse to "/system/app/" back up and then Delete "Swype.apk"
Browse to "/system/lib" back up and then Delete "libswypecore.so"
Reboot.
Then now install the swype installer and install swype.
Good luck!!
Yes, that's what I do every time I run the sbf again to get 4g back. Works like a charm. I have the swype installer backed up on titanium. no problems runnig it after the above steps.
Can confirm what kbrn has posted.. Basically the same method I had done.. Basically need to delete the stock Swype file to allow the installer to work..
It worked! Swype Beta with Dragon rocks. Thanks!
