Im trying to install the swype beta on my DROID x2. I've uninstalled the stock swype from my phone using titanium backup. However when I go to install swype using the installer, it doesn't work. Anything im missing or forgettinf

I haven't installed the beta since I was on 2.2, but what I had to do then was remove the app and then go to /system/lib and remove libSwypeCore.so (if it's not that, it's pretty close to that). Then I installed the beta and it worked like a charm.

+1 this.. I had to set this up in the my rom to get it to work.
Another question on this topic.
How to bring it over into roms without going through installer?
Would setting up the beta then, bringing over the .lib and apk work? I tried something similar but didnt work.
I tried removing the core and it wont allow me to. Am I missing something? Im running eclipse 1.2 fyi.

Delete the .lib file then go to applications... Delete cache n data... Then delete the system/app.then go through install of beta.

This is because you must remount the /system directory as read/write. normally it is read only.
How would I go about doing that, im fairly new to most of this so any help would be appreciated.

Whenever I start titanium backup, my thunderbolt freezes. I have wiped several times all with the same result. Also I have the paid versions of these apps so I would like to use those instead. I have also tried to use the bamf toolkit to remove titanium backup and that cause the phone to freeze add well.

Going into settings > applications > manage apps, does it freeze if you try to remove it that way?
There is not an option to uninstall. The button is grayed out. I think it is installed as a system application. Since I can't post in the das bamf thread, I have to post here hoping that there is a flash I can do or some other app on the market place that can uninstall system apps.

You can delete the .apk for each file located in /system/app using root explorer or a file manager with root permissions. Since these were installed as system apps, they can't be uninstalled from the regular settings>manage apps menu, but you can delete with Root explorer.
I have deleted kernel manager this way - my pro key with titanium works with the system version, so I haven't deleted that.

Did you delete or move the apk? Reason I ask is that I moved it to my SD card (in case it caused issues) and realized that I wasn't hitting R/W in the upper corner, so it wasn't actually removing it, just copying the file in read-only mode.

You are a genius. I was in read only mode and the app I am using never warned me. I am using super manager. You have to set root permissions in the apps configuration.

OK... So I was able to remove titanium backup.
Now, I have the same problem with it from the market. Seems like a bamf issue and not an app issue.

Thanks For Testing, I Changed The OP To Reflect Your Findings.
just wanna make sure before i do anything
IS this bootstrap app the one i need for recovery install
It's Called System Recovery.
So just to be clear. Now if I screw (soft brick?) my phone I can just use the 2.3.3 sbf and root that correct. Yay no more going all the way back. I can just root GB and restore my nandroid I made with eclipse Rom running.

Correctimundo.
I have had troubles running the script provided even the v7 that is posted now i have re-written the instructions and will compile an app later that can be run on windows to make sure the paths are all ok. Creating the local.prop file and not getting into the shell first was acting up on my XP box. I have a party to head out to but once I get back I will get the app written and tested again. Also I cannot take screens with drocap on the X2, I think it's a Tegra issue can anyone confirm or know of a screen shot app that works on Tegras
Just used AndroSS but it works without root on the X2 but at least i can get some screens of the terminal and a few other places now.
I'm Not Sure I'm Following, There's A Script With The 1 Click Program?
Yes there is a .bat file but running that did not work so I compared the steps and was looking over the command set and it was not properly sending the shell commands on my workstation. It may have been an issue with custom paths I run at the office. Could have been a windows version issue as well. If its written in vb.net I can call a vbscript to use send keys which will prevent that.

I get an error flashing this. sideload/tmp/... error. CM7 VAlpha 3
Edit: Got it to work by unpacking the zip and using Root Explorer to put the file in /system/app and setting 777 permissions.
You get that when its a bad download. Also I've read it could be cause its from your phone browser or comp browser. Try out different options and report back

If you backup the vvm from sense with tb then restore it while on aosp it'll work too.

I'm on CM10 alpha 2, and I want to upgrade to 2.99999999. Since you can't flash roms on our cm10, I need to make an update.zip, sbf, then flash 2.99999999. However, I can't make one. After I've selected the apps, and Tibu starts to make the update.zip, Tibu says it couldn't make it. After retrying, Tibu instantly said it couldn't make one.
Is there any way to fix this, or can I get to 2.99999999 and keep my data another way?
Stop what you are doing. lol.
Just SBF to 2.3.4, root, install the bootstrap and flash the latest CM10 and the Gapps in bootstrap recovery. I have never used an update.zip to update a ROM and dont believe thats the proper way to do it.
I am only trying to make an update. Zip for my apps and their data, not for the whole rom.

Oh. Well I have never done that either. I use Titanium Backup for my apps. If you havent already, try it out. It works great. Just backup and restore your apps and app data though. Some people have problems with backing up and restoring system data.
Sorry, in forgot to say something. I'm using titanium backup to make the update.zip.

Oh wait, you did say that. I dont know why you need to make an update.zip. Just backup your apps, flash the ROM, download Titanium Backup again and Restore your apps. Maybe the update.zip is just a feature I have never used. Sorry.
Tibu starts to make the update.zip, Tibu says it couldn't make it.

I have never used that option, but I'm guessing that it just doesn't work in alpha 2
The reason I don't want to do that is it takes lot of time.

Well I've been around this thread and have used the droid x2 for over a year and have never heard of anyone use that method. So it's probably going to be likely that no one will know about the problem you are having. Sorry to say.
Sorry but it won't work on our x2

Do you have the Pro Key version (Paid) ?
The free version cannot do a update.zip.
So basically I can't install apk files on my phone. It's a recent issue since I switched over to the newest fj stock mod rom. I download an .apk, I put it on my phone but when I click on it to install it, the option to install it won't respond. I can click cancel. but I can't click install... I can't seem to figure out why it won't do it, and I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm not getting...
This exact thing happened to me.. The ONlY way to fix it is to flash new roms sorry
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That is not the only way to fix it. You can put the apk in the data/app folder and reboot and it should install. You do have unknown sources checked right?

Yeah, I have that option checked. I'll try moving them there and see if that works.

It didn't work when I put them in that folder and rebooted. What did work was turning off JuiceDefender and then trying to install them. Not sure why but turning it off made things install. Whatever... lol

assuming you flash roms as a solution, would you have a few backups?

As rquiett mentioned.....put the app into the data/app folder via any good root explorer app, then reboot.
The apk can also be placed into the system/app folder for the same outcome. the major difference here, is the device now sees the apk as a system app, and will not be removable via traditional methods like a user app. It would need removal by the root explorer app that placed it there.
Flashing "the same" build to get an app, is generally not needed, however, I have used this method many times over the years after I removed a system app I needed back.
You can simply flash the "same" rom over the top of the existing rom, and the pre-loaded rom apps are back.
Note: you must wipe the caches after using this method, or data corruption could occur. "cache and dalvik cache"
Long story short:
Root explorer app to place into data/app......or system/app
and if you are feeling adventurous....then flash the "same" base build over the top of your current build, then wipe caches and reboot.
Standard disclaimers apply....g
