Is there a way to get swype on the HP Touchpad? I got a parse error trying to install the apk and swype.com wont let me download the installer

I had a problem with it also. I bought thumbs keyboards from the marketplace it splits the keys to each side for easier typying. Try it out. When I did get swype working it only covered half the screen in landscape mode.

If you read a few pages back on posts, I posted a how-to in order to patch it to work.
My God use the search. Why are these same questions, swype, facebook, sleep of death, wifi, swype facebook sleep wifi swype facebook sleep wifi wifi sleep facebook wifi facebook sleep wifi over and over and voer and over and over and voer again on the front page, from someone new, all the time. I've seen two of the same thread before. It would be understandable if, say, the search keywords were hard to find the results for.. but they arent. This is in practically every thread about the installation.. I even made a FAQ thread that you could find.. several other people have posted it.. typing it in google and hitting 'im feeling lucky' would find it. I mean surely you people know how to find this forum.. surely you can find something like that.
hint: search. you'll find it. it involves recompiling the installer to force hack a screen size into it because it doesn't support our screen size. its all over the place, youll find it.

I'm hoping this won't get me yelled at for posting this here but here goes.
My vibrant came with swype, which I enjoy from time to time. I tried to pull the APK to put on my mytouch which has cm5.0.8 (i use it with a t-mobile prepaid card with barnacle for cheap mifi) and when I install the apk every single running process on the phone FC's (from core processes to setcpu and cmupdater) to the point where I have to wipe and reflash the cm5.0.8 zip.
any suggestions?
thanks!
I have another thread trying to get the droid x skype running on the vibrant as it has the voice icon in it and the vibrants version does not. Bottom line is you cant just install it as an app as you found out. It appears there is more to it then just the apk file. If the person I am working with on this is able to figure it out I will post the results in my thread just search on voice swype or my name
Awesome, what's the thread?

Issue [SOLVED] > market > search results found doesn't equal search results shown.
Hello fellow's
Have you guys noticed that since the new android market came upon us, that there is troublesome to not say impossible to find some applications using the search function.
For instance, if I search "mario"; I will have 3 apps showing. All though the top bar says it found over 2000 results. Nevertheless I would not be able to download or even have these results displayed for me.
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm not the only one that having this issue. I've noticed that ALL phones have the same issue as I do. Some of these different phones have custom kernels and custom roms, but not all. So there's no need for searching error in roms, phones, etc.
I have successfully uninstalled NEW Android Market from my phone and restored the OLD android market.
It works just fine as it displays all search results that are found.
Yet the problem remains since google has arranged a silence update of market. Within 30 minutes I have the new market once again installed.
* Is there any solution?
* If not, is it possible to turn off silent updates?

"It F***ing prints money!"
Me too i have problem with market from XDAndroid it doesen't show all application : /
My guess is that everyone are having the same experience. Although I don't think too many are aware of this, rather major, bug.
To clarify for those who still doesn't have a clue of what I'm talking about:
Pay attention to the top bar where the search hits are stated. Remember this number of found apps. Compare this to how many apps you REALLY are shown. Shouldn't be too many scrolls until you reach rock bottom. XD
Also.. Let us try to exclude that this hasn't got anything to do with any regional restrictions of any kind, by stating our nationality, carrier, brand of phones/tablets, custom/stock rom and the current status of the search function in android market, at the beginning of our first posts in this thread. I'll probably be first one out to do this.
For all your convenience; just copy/paste the template below:

"It f***ing prints money!"
When you do a search in the new market only a few apps show.
You have to tap on the bar that tell you how many apps found and the rest will show.

I wish it would be that easy.
I don't mean to be rude in no way. But have you even tried that yourself?
My experience says that's bogus. If it would be pushable then probably it would look more like a button or clickable link, wouldn't it?
200.000.000.000$ Google inc. Should atleast provide hints on how to get all apps to show. Besides the billions; Google is the world largest internet search provider. It would be a great FAIL by Google if this isn't a big bug.
Nevertheless, button or not, the tapping trick will not do it. I've tried that on atleast 8 phones, different brand, different roms, different kernels. It just makes me feel stupid, tapping like a freak on my friends phones.
If you still claims that tapping is the trick. Then I would like you to take screenshots of it.
Please search for "Mario" and post screenshots of new market showing more than 5 results of Mario.
And if it is true that tapping is the way to go. Then we've probably have got ourselves a regional issue.
Also... Please provide information about your country, phone, rom, etc, etc,
The End.

Simple solution: go to online market to search and download the apps you need.

Same problem.
Only just noticed it now. Thought it was my phone as google searches would not yield any results for me on the problem, probably due to wrong wording mind. I'm on stock Motorola atrix 2.2 UK rom with newish market update.
What a major oversight by google, surely they should have fixed this by now.
I do a search for music and the grey bar says there are 25978 results I click on the tab arrow to display what I assume will be the 25978 app results. I get 20 apps, that's it? Everyone here who has actually noticed still having this issue I take it?
I have this issue too. Was trying to search for "Handcent" but it returns only 2 results, neither are the actual app.

Agree, I touch there, it shows 3 hits, and 1311 results along the top:
See imageshack.us/photo/my-images/853/sc20111028081055.png/
Sorry I don't have enough posts yet to include the link.
The issue is that you can not touch and open the additional 1311 results.
easy fix for market.
Use any apparently that will freeze apks. Freeze market upgrader. Then uninstall market updates in manage applications. Once you uninstalled the update,you'll be back on the old market until you unfreeze the market updater. Hope this helps.
Even though I'm not rooted I have had that happen to me as well. Another problem I have is getting stuck in download loops. The only fix is to reboot my phone.

If you can't get the app you want, than that's a real issue. You could search for it on you PC on the android market and then install from there to you phone.

That was exactly what I was hoping for. How to disable that stupid silent update of google.
That really did the trick!
I can't understand how I possible could have missed that obvious application; "Market Updater.apk", when going through system apps over and over again, looking for the damn silent updater application.
I greatly appreciate your help. I was about to surrender to Google's ignorance and become one of it's stupidity.
Again, thank you for taking your time helping.

I just installed Revolution HD 4.1.5 on my Sensation. Been using it about 14 hours. The capacitive buttons never light up. I have tried boot in several ways, slow booting by removing battery and fast boot(with fast boot setting on). Before when I was Revolution 3.6.3. reboot usually solve the problem. Any solution?
The rest of the firmware is Great!!

hi, copy all text of URL and paste, then delete space between "09/" AND "HTC-"... I had to place it there because I am new here and I cannot post links.
And other question: I had on my stock ROM htc widgets: battery status and Notes. Now, I cannot find them in HTC hub. And some apps I can't find in market - like skype for example. BTW: there is written "installed" on web market, but some of these apps are not in the phone.
And the last problem... (I hope) ... I have experienced some restarts without obvious reason. Is that caused by OC? Should I flash "1,2GHz script" or wait a few days if it stops :? ... Thanks for answers )

I saw the picture. You can probably call your Rom developers to put it in.
Use "market enabler" to fake t-mobile provider, then open market again, you will have it.
OC will cause those problem. Try to run lower clock. And unstable kernels may lead to those problem too.

Cannot find it = your Rom developer removed it. Ask him to make a flashable zip to add it back.
Download market enabler, go to setting, long press tmobile, press fake now. Then go market and find Skype, it should be there.

If you're running the latest ICS nightly (since 2012-02-02, I think) and use Evernote, you've probably noticed that it not longer displays the tablet UI.
For some reason, the Evernote app calculates width of the screen is 4.xxxx instead of the 7.xxxx required for displaying the tablet UI.
I've modified the APK to ignore the calculation so that the app displays the tablet UI.
I hope you like it.
com.evernote-2.apk
UPDATE: Some people have asked me to look at the Kindle app too.
Looking into it, but it is a little more complex ...
If you already have Evernote, you'll need to uninstall it before trying to install this one.
Tip:
Copy this to /system/app to ensure you'll never lose it ...
That way if you update the app thru the market and lose the tablet UI you can uninstall updates

Hey, cool! I read about this in your posts on the user thread. How did you do this? I don't know enough to diagnose it, but I would be interested in digging through a couple different apps in this manner.
Do you have access to the block of code you changed or are you dis-assembling this to make this work? This is a common problem across a few google apps as well (chrome, docs, etc) Just wondering if you had any insight into the root problem.
Yeah, that's why I want to know as well. I saw people asking you to take a look at the Kindle app over in the development thread, and I figure instead of buying us dinner you could just teach us how to fish, you know?
Yeah I disassembled the apk.
Essentially, I searched the decompiled files for the word "tablet" ... When I thought I found what I was looking for, I compared it against the logcat.

you can also download the apk from their own website: www.aldiko.com whithout the market.
FWIW the official Kindle app update that just showed up on my GN claims that it's fixed margins and spacing on tablets. I'm not near my Nook, but let us know if it works.

Yeah unfortunately it's not fixed on the Nook Color or the Touchpad.
I'll upload a picture of the Kindle app and describe the differences of tablet mode and phone mode on the Nook. I am very interested in having my NC as well as my TP displaying the Kindle app correctly for landscape mode. Without the split screen with two pages displayed in landscape mode, it's a long traverse to read a line across the entire length if the tablet. Lol
If you still have time to look into this, I would be very grateful. No worries either way.
Thanks for the Evernote fix!

It is fixed in CM9 on the nook color. I have tested it. The margins and line spacing is much improved. You still cannot adjust them, but it is very readable. Make sure you have the very latest version.

Hi leapinar,
I am on the latest version and the Kindle app is not in tablet mode at 160 dpi. I do see the changes you mentioned. However just to be clear, when you hold your Nook in landscape orientation does the screen split and have two side by side pages like an open book?
Edit: I disassembled the apk, but it is not clear at all to me what is triggering the tablet view/install. I tried a few edits and reassembled the apk and nadda.. At this point I am just blindly throwing darts..
Guys,
Sorry about disappearing ... I was out of town for work for a couple of days and busy on a new work project.
I've looked at the new version of the Kindle app, and yes the margins are better, but having the ability to adjust them like the phone would be ideal.
I'm looking at the code to see if I can just swap out the tablet reader view with the phone view, giving us the phone menu options.
A little slow going ...

Would just like to second this - the app is actually semi-unusable without it being switched because there's no way to access 'menu' (no hard button on the NC and no softbutton shows up in the app).
After downloading and installing multiple Fifa 2012 Apks. Every time i start the app it comes up with block letters so i cant read anything. It worked 3 weeks ago. Im not sure what has changed since then. Im running ICS. Please help. I love this game! Thanks.
This won't help your problem but in my case everything works except team icons, ball icons etc just show up as black squares in the menu..
did you ever come across this?
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2
No i never had this issue. When i installed it the very first time the apk worked no problem all images were correct and everything. Now when i try and install its all block letters. The only screen I get to is the download rest of the game package and then it errors out and i cant read anything to go any further.
Is it possible to upload or link me with the apk you're using?
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk 2
I doubt it. I've used every link to it possible. I googled it and i've installed over 20 different .apk for it. Im to the point where i wanna pay the $4.99 to get it from the play store since its a game i actually enjoy.
