[Q] Exchanging Swype in flashed ROM (LR 2.1) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
new to the forums and Android. Been a reader for a while now. I have just updated from Litening Rom 1.5 to 2.0 and I must say I don't like how Swype works in 2.3.4. I've searched the forums but didn't come up with anything. Maybe I was searching for the wrong keywords...
Anyway, I want to know is it possible to replace the Swype that is currently on my phone with the one that was in let say LR 1.5? If yes, what file do I need to exchange?
Thanks in advance for your help.

what was your version of swype now? mine is 2.72.77.25374.25547.1252.OXX. and i think its accuracy is really bad. a let down when i show my friends.
btw im on stock rom

Kernel?

I just installed the new elelinux 2.2 special edition with the latest radio and everything is working perfectly so far. However, I've seen all this banter about kernels thrown about and I was just wondering if some body could explain what they are and why I should install the latest '11' version?
I've tried searching, but I couldn't find any clear answers. Thanks!
edit: if somebody could also tell me how to setup hotmail in the email app, that would be great
Should really be posted in, and will likely get moved to q&a. However, basically a kernel is the bridge between hardware and software. Different kernels have different optimisations in them, and most people have found flykernel to be one of the better ones.
Install it if you like (I love it personally) but your phone wont stop working if you don't.

I think Flykernel11 is already included in Elelinux's Special Edition:

No need to flash it over that, i think.

firmware 2.1 update1

kernel version 2.6.29
build number 2.1.a.0.435
what i want to know is what should i do now???? i would like to install a new rom.
which one do i choose.... there are many threads with links here, there, and everywhere and i am finding it confusing, i am new to this and would appreciate any help and advice that you could part to a willing and eager x10i user.
i would prefer to use/have a fully working rom inc camera and video playback.
i understand this will limit my options,
i dont mind using a stripped down stock rom.
thanks in advance for any help
It is possible for you to get 2.2, but dont know which version is the best, thinking rdannar or what he's called. it doesn't have a functioning cam, but you can get that from apps.

mmmh the camera works in most of the roms but the quality really isnt great. there is a 2.1custom stripped down se rom which im using and that is full functional and much faster than the standard se. just go through the 1st to pages on the android development and take your pick, they all list whats working and whats not.the 2.1 roms will mostly be fully functional
i got my x10a last week on friday an within 12 hurs rooted 1.6 installed 2.1.a.0.435 rooted that installed Root Explorer, xRecovery,hunnycomb 2.1 rom.
used this to install new F/W

Well.
Have you considered the applications you can use?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/07/13/8-great-apps-every-rooted-android-user-should-know-about/ (I know.. Old news, but still gives some idea)
Regarding ROMS: If you paint a SAAB blue, it doesn´t become a Volvo. Some parts of the 2.2> roms still uses big parts o the 2.1-update 1 firmware and it uses the same bootloader
thanks guys for all the replys and links. i have just used the go3easys rom

Best Gingerbread rom as of current?

Hey guys,
It's been some time since I have been here, I went out into the void of other phones when T-Mobile gave me a free G2 back in July. Anywho, I am here because I am trying to set my old Optimus T up for my boyfriend as his iPhone just fell out of his car and obliterated... Plus, he wants to give Android a whirl (I am so excited!)
Does anyone know the best gingerbread rom that is currently available, looking for something that can run things like angry birds, fruit ninja, maybe a gba emulator... OH! I also saw that there is FLASH available for this phone now, should I look for a rom with that built-in? Or should I flash it myself?
; Sorry for all of the questions! I really hope I don't seem too crazy. Haha.
There is a poll here. I'm running mik_os' CM7 6.6.1, and I've successfully installed Flash 10.1 with this ROM. You can download the Flash installer here.

Dell Streak Back to Stock

Hi Guys
I have been out of the Dell Streak Sceen for a while so wonder if you guys can help me out. I have a DS 5 bought UK version, running 2.2.2 with dj steves room 2.6.32.9, I flashed to this rom a long time ago but never really got on with it. GPS not working etc and I gave up using he phone.
Recently I had to use it again as my work phone is broken. I would like to give it a update.
So I would like to know what is currently the stablest ROM? If not i will go back to Stock O2.
Maybe just some hints and guides in what i should do to flash it back as I am so out of it now. It is still on DJ Steves old old rom.
many thanks

CM7.2.0 is the one ive been using for a long while now... its the most stable imo
DSC is another excellent choice.
P.S. Next time, post in the correct forum. Questions like this do not belong in the development forum.
