Could someone post the stock Atrix swype installer/files? Want to update to the OTA GB and I have the beta swype installed. Forgot to save off the stock swype files, doh .
edit: I uninstalled the swype beta & installer and tried a droidx swype apk here as a final effort before doing an SBF with .83. It did not work (get the exclamation point icon). Ended up flashing .83 and installed the OTA through the SD card. I'm definitely using TiBackup to save off swype before applying swype beta .

go search swype in teh "themes and apps" section
it teaches you how to use adb shell or a root file manager on how to save the default swype
Here is the preinstalled swype on GB. one zip is from copying the two swype files, the other is a set of swype files from titanium backup. Version is 2.71.76.23150 , no clue if it's the same as .83. Could be since I did not see any difference.
path for the files in GBswype.zip:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

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

Mine still working. Use root explorer to remove it and install the newer one from the swype site
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?
ComRom 1.3

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.

Thanks much
I have a new (1day old) SGS2 that came with swype 2.70 installed.
I have a beta account in Swype and I can install swype 3 beta, and I did it many times on my old phone (HD2).
But now when I go to activate Swype 3 via the Swype installer program, I can't desable the original one to update to the new.
Anyone know how to do this?
Root phone, get root explorer, delete swype.apk from system/app. Download Swype 3.
Thanks, it works.
Thanks helped me as well
Any know where can get the beta the installer won't work

Ya long time ago ive successfully installed it on my og thru the swype installer before it was officially released
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
You have to use root explorer and remove swype from system/app then libswype from system/lib. After that installer works fine, but this version of swype is super buggy on our phone.
Thanks , I can't even log in the installer to download I can at there site just fine ohwell . I know I would have to install system app , was hoping someone had a link or apk
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Lol, me thinks you're missing some punctuation there
Anyway, What you could do is get root, and then I believe just uninstall Swype from Manage Applications.
Then Swype's Installer should work. I'm rather sure that's what I did last time. Either that or manually removed the files via adb.

I used ES File Explorer to mount system and remove the lib and app. I then installed the beta. It worked great.
I have been accidentally hitting the spanish button a lot with version 2. Version 3 beta lets you disable the spanish language to prevent that. Awesome. Thanks.

I used Titanium Back Up to remove Swype and then used Astro to install and launch the beta installer that I placed on my SD card. (Made sure to back up the original swype just in case).
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!
