Hey there,
coming from the nexus one the TW things (dialer und contacts) are a welcome feature, but the bundled swype sucks, because you cannot install the newest beta versions which are much much better (Especially for german users, because of the umlauts)!
So i am looking for a STABLE Rom with Android 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 where swype is not included or can be easily uninstalled!
Any suggestions?
Best regards!
Any rom, you can use root explorer to delete the swype.apk from system/app if included. Just choose a rom from the vast selection. Then you can install swype beta.

There are a bunch of threads around that describe what you need to do and I have done it myself in the recent past. Freezing with Titanium Backup was the way I did it, I think.
Have a search around - you can most certainly do it if you invest a little time and effort...
Freezing didnt work!
But deinstalled with titanium backup, rebooted - installed again and then it worked!
thanks for the help!

Hi guys,
I know its short after the 2.1 release, but did someone manage to remove the current launcher from the device?
Currently installed Launcher Pro and its running more smoother than the stock launcher.
Tried to find the launcher with Rootexplorer, but it seems it got replaced in a different folder or maybe renamed.
I removed most of the crap using titanium backup
Worked a treat - give it a try.
the are 2 files that may match
/data/data/com.android.launcher <- main launcher?
/data/data/com.sony.uwlop.launcher <- timescape launcher?
How can we remove the Chinese/...-Keyboards?

Really? I can find them with Titanium, just removed danish, chinese and korean. Perhaps you overlooked them?
OK I found them, thx ^^
Further to my original post i used Titanium back up and just froze the home app. seems to work handset much more responsive now
Some apps disappeared from Market (can no longer be found with either browsing by category or using the search function) after I flashed CM 6.0/6.1 ROM, including FoxyRing, PingChat, Seesmic, Foursquare, etc.
I have tried MarketAccess.apk, no luck.
Could anyone help me please?
Is this because of the Android version? Is froyo not supported by those apps?

OK I admit this a stupid question. Of course it is because Android 2.2 is not supported by those apps. :-S

I find all of the above apps when searching for them. Using Floyo 1.1.9, which is a 2.2 rom

Thank you for your information! I will try replacing my Vending.apk with that from a Floyo ROM and do some investigation.
Tried Vending.apk from Floyo. No luck.
Also compared system versions between the two ROMs. Didn't see any difference.
Totally confused now...
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
Attached are screenshots to show the version information of my current ROM and the Vending.apk.
It's driving me crazy!
I just flashed Floyo, installed FoxyRing, Foursquared, Seesmic, PingChat with the Market, and saved the four apk files in my sdcard.
Then I restored my CM6.1-RC1 and try to install the four apk files I just saved.
But my phone won't let me install them. It just keeps saying "not installed".
What is the trick that Floyo ROM has done to make it work??
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.

Big thanks to indieman91 for the step by step!
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.

haha yeah they changed it for some reason. hey can you post that you installed my greenswype.apk successfully and how you did it? so i could help other users. the only phone i tested it was on mine so the more successful results the better i could help others!
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.
Although I've been creeping the forums for a while now this is my first post!!!
I recently flashed my SII to the insanity mod (054) and I love it.
However, I noticed my Swype language (French Canadian) was no longer available to use! I've searched the forums and the almighty google to no avail.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the language back without reflashing to another rom?
Thanks ahead!

I tried going through that process through the Swype website. It says "Swype beta is not available for models with Swype pre-installed" or something along those lines.
I downloaded this swype.apk: swype-v3269235406-apk-all-resolutions
It says it's multi-language but when I installed it I could still only use EN-US... Any ideas?
OK ! Got it to work. I went all the way to making my own .apk but that didn't work...
You were right, the Beta works. However you have to uninstall the Swype you already (I used Titanium backup to uninstall it).
The problem I had was that once I did that, I couldn't enter the e-mail/password/code to even install swype. I had to download another keyboard in order to install Swype beta.
Hope this helps other people that have had the same problem.
Hello friends I have a problem. I installed CM7.2 to my galaxy ace and it dont contain swype keyboard. Now i have Swype.apk from original Galaxy ace 2.3.3 rom.

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.
Thank you again.
