I lost swype and I cannot get it back. I lost it along with slacker, memos, mobiTV and the other apps that came with it.
Any way how to get them back?

I think you might get better answers by asking this question in the hybrid tread?
I read that you need to install swype "beta" version to get swype back.
I'm sure the other apps can be found in the market I'm sure?
Did you even run a Titanium Backup to restore apps?
Yes, I do a scheduled Titanium backup and backup before installing a rom.
You didn't lose them... you removed them by flashing that ROM...

Buy root explorer, move the swype.apk from vibrant9 (or vibrant7,6,etc.) into your system/apps. Worked very well for me.
swype is the only one thats been giving me problems... others just need to be reinstalled.
can i get an explicit confirmation from those of you that says it works, that on r1, not the first hybrid (that worked for me), you were able to pull the swype apk from vibrant9 or whatever and get it working on r1?
EDIT: fix works. just pull and copy system/lib file as indicated below
Install the Evo Swype apk that's floating around. It works

Eugenes roms don't have the bloatwate i.e. mobi tv and others. If you want them, back them up using root explorer before flashing streamlined roms. But one of the reasons the roms have a snappier response is that the extra programs aren't bogging it down.

You need libSwypeCore.so put back into the /system/lib folder then you can Push the app back into system/app

eugene gave the fix over in the Hybrid development thread. No other Swype 'fix' worked for me and his simple resolution has brought Swype back to my phone.
you didnt read what you were flashing? it says all the crap is removed.

+1 i wish people would use the search rather than post a new forum topic. If you do use the search then please say so in your OP. Just like he said before you flash ALWAYS DO A NANDORID BACK UP and he is not responsible for anything you do to your phone.

+1, works perfectly.
It's not working for me... I pushed both Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so to their respective folders, but when I select it as an input method it shows an error that says swype hasn't been configured for my device, and I can't switch languages... what should I check?
Any chance on getting that apk?

Can I remove them some how?i have root explorer so can I just go to system/app and delete them?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
If you have rooted your phone, you can do it with Titanium Backup. Just be extremely careful what you delete. I believe there is a list of safe things to delete floating around on the Cyanogen mod forum. Shouldn't be hard to find with inspector Google.
Bloatware would be anything that is not a stock android apk. Be careful not to delete anything that has to do with google or you will be sorry. I forgot the url but there is a master list of all the apks you can delete. Just google "android apk stock list"
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Its probably best to just move the apks into a separate folder on your sd card rather than deleting them. The that way if you mess up you can just move it back into the correct directory. Or if you change your mind.

to the OP, I gave instructions in the sticky if you want something to reference. I agree with ^, I used Root Explorer to copy all of the files and then pasted them in a folder on my SD card. Then went back to system apps and deleted them, rebooted, good to go. I also gave a list of everything that could be deleted.
Samsung galaxy sgs2
Samsung GS2 GT19100
Hey guys Im sorry if this is not supposed to be here, But I really need some advice.
I just recently bought a SGS2 in Canada with Bell Mobility and I was able to root my phone so that I could unlocked it. However Since I did this every time I turn on my phone I get a Yellow Triangle with and exclamation mark. and also this mark is on the top left corner of my home screen but very tiny. Now the phone works like a charm nothing is wrong, but I want to know if there is some way I can remove that from my power up screen and from the home screen?
And my last questions would be, Now that I have unlocked my phone can I unroot it? or will this locked my phone again?
Thanks .

+1 Op this is probably the best way to do it. Plus if you ever need to put the apks back, all you got to do is move them back, wipe dex and cache and reboot.
One thing that I usually do is use TBPro to freeze it first and see if there are any adverse effects. Did you know that gTalk works with the market? If you delete gTalk, you may see some wierdness with the market. If you just froze it, then you can thaw it out and move on.
My question is can we delete the odex files singly or do they have to be deleted in pairs with the apk?

you can download the bionix rom if you don't have it , unzip and pull the .apk from the system/app directory.
Tried that. Didn't work. I used astro and tried to install the swype apk from 1.8. I get installation unsuccessful.

Instead of installing it, try moving it to the system/app directory with something like Root Explorer

oh i didnt realize you dont want metamorph on your phone.....its tough to believe that some people can live without it hahaha
anyways, easiest way to install your swype is place the .apk in C:/AndroidSDK/tools on your PC, then access your device through adb (command prompt) and simply type this command:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app (then press enter)
then bang! your new Swype.apk was installed over the one you currently have

To the OP, if you are trying to get a specific theme only for Swype, then just use my metamorphs. The Bionix rom uses a Non voice input version of Swype if i remember correctly, and the theme is one of the old ones I found and had in my non v.i. thread. Currently, my metamorphs are for voice input only, but i promise, it's the simplest way to create, distribute, and apply these themes. Sure, it's easier to just replace an .apk with an update.zip, which would allow me to edit the libSwypeCore.so file to change the trail line color as well, but it is also a monumental undertaking in themeing software with REAL fragmentation issues. You thought Android was bad? BAH! I don't even know a rough estimate of the number of versions of Swype being utilized now... If I were to theme the .apk itself, then I would have to do a separate one for Vibrant, Epic, Fascinate, Captivate, GT-I9000, Evo, DX, DInc, etc, etc, until I FINALLY get ONE theme for ALL the versions of Swype. Metamorph eliminates the need for that. You can just install Metamorph, apply the theme, and then uninstall metamorph. You won't lose your theme

when you say theme is it only a swype theme that I'm applying? I don't want to change the theme of the whole rom just to change the swype skin

Except that it isn't, because you have to disable the currently installed Swype in order to install the new one. You can't do that without deleting it, which in turn requires that you be rooted.

I did read his post. I also read your post. I actually comprehended both of them. My reply was intended to point out that you do, in fact, have to delete the old before you bring in the new, which was entirely missing from your concise list of rock 'n roll.

Oh, just for anyone else doing this you also need to delete libSwypeCore.so from /system.lib
I used root explorer to do this. Swype forceclosed on me when I did a reboot but had not deleted the libswypecore so I'm hoping this was the problem.
Just installed the Prerealse of Sype 3.25 and it seems to work a lot better on the Photon then 3 that was always force closing on me. Also on this version you can finally remove words from your personal dictorany in the settings menu. No more highlighting word the pressing swyp key.
How you do it? The updated installer won't recognize that I want to update it lol

There is also another file. I install whatever one you want, in this case 3.25. Reboot then as it is force closing go into keyboards and disable it. Then go into manage applications and uninstall swype. Then reinstall it with the installer. Done deal
The problem is there is one more file besides the lib/apk. I don't know what/where it is, this is just how I do it, works for me perfectly. No need to rename anything.
So to recap,
delete swype apk.
install 3.25 using the installer
reboot and disable swype (stops the FC's)
go to manage applications under settings>applications, then uninstall swype (not swype installer, just Swype)
reinstall Swype with the installer again.
