Swype - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way of taking Swype over to a custom rom?
I'd like to try oxygen, Cyanogen and Miui, but want to use swype on them.

You can install the beta. It works better than the one in most of the stock ROMs.

bringing back this thread so as not to start a new thread.
I just received a notification from the swype keyboard saying my version is outdated and i need to upgrade. Naturally, you have to delete the version that was installed with the rom i am using however, the apk refuses to install. I used titanium back up to delete swype and root explorer to delete the lib file pertaining to swype and it still wont work. Anybody have a solution for me?
running swype version 3.5.83.26.....

Simply Honey 3.8 & revolution Rom 2.0problems 2 Problems left !!

hello i am having some problems with simply honey..
1.[Solved] everytime i try to use swype it force closes
2.the launcher it came with (gingerbread launcher) fc everytime you open it
3.[SOLVED]recovery is still not usable
4. the ocean waves background fc's
5.[solved]sometimes the power button dosent work
If you haven't done so already, reboot into recovery and fix permissions. This always fix many fc, do you still need help with Swype?
thay didnt work and also recovery dosent wok either
Do you have rom manager installed? If so, what is the current recovery?
Edit...I'm reposting what I advised others about Swype.
Try this,
1. Uninstall swype, swype installer, or any left over cache
2. Search for any swype files or lib and delete them
3. Reboot
4. Install the apk attached
5. Log in, choose swype english, install, follow the directions on there until it's finished. Otherwise it won't license it if you don't follow all the directions from the app

Download Rom manager from the market, it's free, open it and flash the recovery for your phone, then at the bottom, choose fix permissions. Reboot your phone.
Let me know if this doesn't work.
You should reinstall it.

[THEME](SWYPE Beta)3.25 + Cyan! + Alien-ized {Green.Cyan.Blue.Red}

Hey everybody, this is my Alien-theme-inspired modified Swype. I thought there would be some users here using Kenns Alien theme and would like to give their Swype keyboard some flashy Alien type look.
Swype (Beta) Version 3.25
Green
{qHD devices only!}
Cyan
-CyanogenMod<3-
Blue
-Check out AT(HONEYCOMB)RIX. Rom-
Red
-Take a look at the DarkSide. Rom-​
This is fully themed for QWERTY only, both portrait and landscape. English/Spanish version only.
(Screen shot may be a bit greener/blue-er than it actually appears on screen)
[UPDATE: New Swype 3.25 no longer has green font color in the prediction bar, remains stock blue.]
If you have the stock version of Swype installed this will not work for you, Swype beta users only, otherwise the functionality will be limited.
Please follow this guide to get on the lastest Swype Beta and generate the proper licensing!
Before installing this apk please be sure to backup your current Swype app+data (TiBu)
1- go to the swype website, sign up for the beta. Save the email for the activation code.
2- download the swype installer. Install the installer and open it and let it install
The swype beta.
3- once its done. Back up with the new swype beta with titaniumbackup.
4- uninstall swype with titaniumbackup.
5- install themed swype... Should give you no trouble.
6- restore only the data from previous swype with titanium back up.
And then your all done!​
If it fails to install, please report here... but this should work for anyone already running Swype Beta.
((Blue DONE and Red Finished... Requests??))
I hope you guys like this and it works for all of you.. Ill try to answer everybody that has questions or problems installing this.

Really big thanks to djdarkknight96 for the update help​
Please leave some feedback if you install/like my themes!
awesome! did you use any guides to learn how to theme it? i would love to make my own as well
looks great!! been wanting this forever..question though..can u do the same to the slideit kb? the 4.o version has themes..maybe they can be modded?
Im currently running alien and the swype already doesn't work but its there... what exactly are the steps to go about putting this on...?? I don't think I need to backup a non working swipe...
Sent from my Motorola Atrix
thanks, great idea and nice job.
personally i would like something a little less flashy though, but with a similar color scheme to what you've done. maybe the same font as the alien 3 stock keyboard. just an idea.

thanks for sharing the link. I guess i figured most people would have already been on the latest swype. did my apk work for you? did you try it?
it should install over your current swype, keeping license intact. But if not i figured uninstall your swype, install this apk, restore data after. please let me know if it worked out for you

you need to have swype beta properly installed, with a generated license and all. you must be a registered user in order to generate it with the installer. modding the apk wont help you since you stated above that your swype isnt working. so youre right backing up your non working swype wont help, need a working beta.
this link above shows exactly how to get it working.
Alright I got swype working... The beta one atleast... but its so damn small...!!! So now what to get this alien working... Just uninstall this apk and installs the green one...?? If its the same size I don't even think I should bother : s

you got the latest beta working? you sure you generated the license and all? if so you try installing this apk over your current swype, it should work. if not youll have to backup your current swype, uninstall, then install this one and restore data.
hmmm but swype usually isnt small it should take up like 35-40% of screen space, hope it recognized it as a qHD device. OR maybe you just like gigantic keyboards

Haha... Maybe... my favorite keyboard to date is the windows 7 keyboard... Sooooo sexy... And the touch tones are awesome... That dubbed out sound... Amazing...!!!
And yes got the beta working properly now... Look has improved alot... But keys too tiny I feel...and the predictive level I used to get on my sgs swype...
So your saying use titanium backup and back this up then uninstall... Then instal your version and restore app data only from titanium...??

just back up and try installing over it first. that should work, just so you dont have to hassle with the rest. BUT yes if you try installing the greenswype.apk and it fails then go ahead and uninstall and try from there...restore data only if it installs correctly..i really hope this works for all of you.
SORRY IF YOU RAN THE INSTALLER YOU NOW HAVE A NEWER VERSION my apk will not work. im working on a theme for newest Swype. dont know why i let that one pass me by. my apologies.

Sorry guys...new version
I kept saying latest Swype beta but theres a newer one out that most likely most of you are on. so if you ran the swype installer and are now on Version 3.6.84.26668, I will have that one themed in just a little bit.

I know it can be made to work on Galnet Miui, or at least it used to be able to. I'm not 100% sure about current builds as I don't use TW.
And I don't know about regular Miui as I've never used it. Might want to also ask over on their forums.
If you mean the TW launcher, see my post just above, TW4.5 which is a modified TW4, will run on any android device.
cant seem to find the download link :/
Yeah. And you read maybe the first & last pages of that thread, right ? Or maybe only the last paragraph of the last page of the thread /sarcasm off

Actually the new version in beta.swype.com is better than the stock version...
I'm not sure whether you can use stock swype in CM7.2 but I'm giving the link of apk(it's from deodexed stock rom), copy it into system/app and change the permissions and reboot.
Hope it works

Thank you my brother.
I want old version of swype because:
The new version of swype is not useful like the old one (maybe just for turkish language). it didn't find many words which i gestured. and new swype's dictionary is limited so it doesn't include many word.
So the old version is better than it for turkish.

[ROM][MIUI V4]Noisyfox's MIUI v4 TEST version R01

Based on miuiscotland, JackpotClavin's CM9 and ambrice's kernel.
Adnroid 4.0.4 + MIUIscotland 2.4.1
What don't work:
1.Camera/Bluetooth
2.menu/back doesn't have vibration.
3.No PIN/Pattern lock or systemUI will crash
4.Theme doesn't seems work perfect.
5.Permission Manager will crash if you want to run an root app which has not been set trusted in Permission Manager.
6.FileExplorer doesn't show all APKs' icon and can't browse /emmc. Check https://github.com/MiCode/FileExplorer to get my modified MIUIFileExplorer
7.'No Service' on notification bar.
8.Some ugly system app icon.
9.No flash in browser.
10.No chrome beta
11.Some useless settings.
12.No USB Mass Storage.

Hey uhm there is an app called: Blade Buddy. It says that it enables hardware acceleration, which is needed for chrome. I don't know if it helps, but maybe it's a solution?
Thanks btw. I've been waiting for a long time for MIUI and so have others (I think).

I love this ROM personally. However...
The bootlogo is "flashy" and too child-like for me. I'd like to have a simple bootlogo with MIUI and it like glows or something. Is there a way I can do this?
Is this ROM compatible with the US Galaxy 5.0? Because I can't use my Home, Settings, and Back keys for some reason...

I believe noisyfox made a zip patch that makes it possible for usa to use intl roms and for intl users to use usa roms. Not sure though. You can find his thread in this section of the forum.
