Does anyone have the white Swype keyboard from Eclipse 1.3? If not, can someone explain how to pull it from the ROM?
To confirm, what ROM are you currently running?
The SWYPE provided is the STOCK swype provided by a stock X2 build. The black keyboard is Swype beta, and by far better, can I ask why you want to change?
Heres the solution anyway:
YOU WILL NEED ROOT EXPLORER! Or you can make a flashable .zip.
Go to Manage Applications>Delete Data for Swype(everything you can delete)
1. Open Root Explorer
2. Delete data/data/com.swype.android.inputmethod(mount R/W to do this)
3. Delete data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
4. Delete data/cache/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
5. Delete system/lib/libSwypeCore.so ***You may not have this, but check anyway***
6. Delete data/app ***anything SWYPE RELATED***
7. Delete system/app ***anything SWYPE RELATED***
NOW GRAB THESE NEXT FILES FROM ANY STOCK BUILD OR ROM THAT HAS THE "WHITE" SWYPE KEYBOARD(i.e. Eclipse 1.3.. or so you said it was on that ROM).
You will be putting the files in the EXACT, SAME LOCATION!
8. Grab system/app **swype.apk**
9. Grab system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
10. Set both ^^ file permissions to rw-r-r(see graph below).
Perms:
[X] [X] [ ]
[X] [ ] [ ]
[X] [ ] [ ]
11. Reboot and Enjoy the OG Swype.
Think there is any way to get this working with the newest swype version, cause it looks badass......

guy won't respond when i ask about it. Is it possible?
Tried this on cm7 dx2 won't Swype but will tap entry. It is switched to Swype keyboard and looks ok just won't Swype.

no, you can grab the files out of the flashable.zip
Also to the theme question, Do you want to color the Beta Swype? or the Stock Swype?
The newest swype beta, you can not like the guy stated so easily. It is more than likely a smali file that would need to be edited. That would give you a start. But the problem is, each time Swype puts out an update, you would more than likely have to change it. This is not 100%, but I would imagine the edits would be smali files now.
For the guy with tapping issues, check to ensure you have correct permissions set, if so, then there is something that did NOT get deleted in the data folder, Try to switch from Stock Keyboard to Swype Keyboard to see if it fixes the error.
I just decided to keep using the beta. I just missed some off the old features. Used to highlight words when you touched them and it uses nuance voice instead of Google. It auto selects the wrong words more often in my opinion

I didn't see a thread on how to do this anywhere in the MT4G forum, so I thought I would share.
If you want swype, but are not on their beta test program, do not want to muck about with their "installer" app, or deal with the reminders of beta status and app expiration; you can pull swype from a stock ROM and use it on your device.
As per the rules, you should not do this on a phone that does not have swype installed stock.
Also, this involves messing around in the "system" partition. While the risk is very low, you do this at your own risk.
First you will need to extract the needed files from a stock ROM. If you are still running the stock software, you can use a file explorer app to make a copy onto your SD card. Just copy and paste. You can also pull the files from the stock image or from the Iced glacier ROM. Pulling from Iced Glacier is the easiest method. Just unzip the ROM file and find the needed files.
There are two files, both in the system partition. The first is "Swype.apk" and is in /system/app folder. The second is "libSwypeCore.so" and is in /system/lib/ folder.
Edit: 7/25/11
It seems you must also conciser the source ROM and destination ROM when obtaining the files. Swype does a device/licence check when running, and if it fails the check then Swype will not work. The build.prop lists "t-mobile/htc/ect" as product.brand and Swype seems to check this before running. So use a version of Swype from a ROM with the same build.prop or edit the build.prop manually.
Now to install Swype:
There are two ways to do this, ADB or root explorer. (or other file manager with RW)
Any extra info to help explain what is going on for any new guys will be in green text.
For ADB:
First put the files you extracted into the tools folder of the android SDK, then open an ADB shell to your phone. When that is done, use the following commands. (each line is a separate command)
Remember Linux commands are case sensitive.
First is to mount /system as RW. (this allows you to save files to /system)
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
Then you need to push (save a copy) the files to the correct locations.
Code:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
It may give the files the wrong permissions. (how much access to the system they have) Just to be safe we need to give the files the right permissions.
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/Swype.apk
chmod 644 /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
sync
reboot
Your phone will reboot and then you are done.
For Root Explorer:
Extract a copy of the needed files and put them on the SD card.
Then open root explorer and open the "sdcard" folder.
Next find "Swype.apk" and long press it and select "copy" (or if you have already completed this step once, copy "libSwypeCore.so")
Use the back button to go back to the root of the folder tree (up top where it shows your current location, it will show "/" this is where you started from when opening the app)
Locate and open the "system" folder.
You then need to tap the button up top marked "Mount R/W" (this will allow you to make changes and copy the files to the right locations) (this step should not be needed if you have already done so before)
Next open the "app" folder. (or if you are moving "libSwypeCore.so" open the "lib" folder)
Hit the "paste" button to copy the file.
Next long press the file you just copied "Swype.apk" and select "permissions" (or "libSwypeCore.so" as appropriate)
You will see a bunch of check boxes. The will be labeled "read" "write" "execute" across the top and "user" "group" "others" down the left side.
For "user" select the "read" and "write" boxes
For "group" and "others" select the "read" box only. Then select "OK"
When done with the first file, repeat the above steps again with the second file. Observe any changes to the steps that are in orange text.
Next open up a "terminal emulator" app and then run the following commands.
Code:
su
sync
reboot
Your phone will reboot and then you are done.
Hope this helps someone.
When I pushed the files to CM7 I completely forgot about checking permissions when it didn't work.
I do however prefer the newest Swype from the beta program since it has speech recognition. Your information should help me porting my Blackout Swype themes over to the MT4G with creating a proper flashable zip that will work with any ROM, and for that I thank you.

No problem, I was thinking of creating a flashable zip for my cousin, he doesn't like to mess around with this stuff... but he lives on the computer, go figure. I just need the signing app, actually its not needed with the new recoveries that allow unsigned zips to be flashed, but it would be nice.
I cant get the swype from iced glacier onto cm7. I follow all the steps perfectly and can select the swype keyboard but when I try to type nothing happens except a flashing blue border around the keyboard. Its pretty annoying.

Thats odd, I used this to get it on to CM7 and it works fine. Where did you source the files from? Permissions are rw-r-r?
Thanks so much for this! I don't use the voice feature and I always hit it on accident, so I've been missing the stock version. I also didn't care for the blue all that much.
I am new to this. Could I use this technic for the others stock apps (calendar, clock/weather widgets...)? Thanks!

No, the apps you are speaking of are HTC apps. They are integrated into the HTC Sense framework.
Moving default apps between ROMs that have custom UIs, like sense, can be problematic. Many default apps have been setup to work with the custom UI and framework only.

Probably has a device check, and the ROM you are using is giving the wrong device.
I believe the panache is the Canadian version, so it may be that the licence is regional as well.

I figured it out for us (those of us on Virtuous Unity)!!! Haha, I'm so stoked. K, so I changed my build.prop of ro.product.brand to =tmobile, I think it's originally htc_wwe or something (This was after extracting my system backup for stock froyo and comparing the differences). Then uninstalled swype, rebooted, and then followed the terminal steps listed in the OP. Good luck.

2)Swype.apk and libswypecore.so
3)Clockwork Recovery (i tested using clockwork 3.0.0.6)
4)7-Zip (or any other zip utility that can place files into a zip without extracting)
How to...
1) Open up the attached file in 7-Zip
2) Place Swype.apk in the "app" folder
3) Place libswypecore.so in the "lib" folder
4) Place the zip file in your sdcard
5) Boot into recovery
6) Go to mounts and storage
7) Mount "system"
8) Go to the main menu and install the zip file
9) Reboot and go to any text field
10) Hold the text field until a popup appears
11) Click "input method"
12) Select Swype
If for some reason it does not work, go to the system folder using root explorer or something similar and make sure the permissions are as follows for both the Swype.apk and the libswypecore.so
User: Read Write
Group:Read
Others:Read
If this procedure does not work for any reason, please send me a pm with the following information
1) Rom
2) Recovery Version
Also: Special Thanks to Marine6680
This is just a zip file.

An easier way to do this, which is what I have been doing, is to simply use a File Manager with Read/Write (Root) privileges and copy the libswypecore.so file into your system/lib directory and then install the Swype.apk like a normal app. This way you can do everything without needing to reboot.
I installed by giving them my email getting the apk and installing...you could almost calk it average lol

Didn't know it was against the rules to post the .apk.

If I'm not mistaken, I don't think this is allowed to be posted... Swype's rules.

so quick question, how would I go about uninstalling this?
Swype FCs every time it tries to load.
Mytouch 4g CM 7.02
I'm getting force closes as well using the files posted here. I followed these instructions here because after installing via the sywpe installer beta everytime I rebooted my phone it wouldn't trace anymore. To fix this I needed to disable and reenable swype. So as of right now I'm still outta luck.
To remove swype though simply go into titanium and scroll down to swype and delete it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Unfortunately swype force closes are not due to this zip and chances are it is the ROM. I would suggest trying fix permissions from recovery or ROM manager. Other than that I would not know what would be causing the force closes.

maybe i'm confused but i just went to swype.com and registered for beta and it works fine
is this different?
Before I ever tried the files here I used the beta installer that I registered and it seemed like everytime I rebooted it wouldn't swype anymore and the keyboard would flash like an error. I've been running cyanogenmod nightlies, currently on 61. I've tried fixing permissions before but it never corrected the issue.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I tried the Root Explorer method with the same results. No matter what I do to install Swype on any ROM other than CM7, I can't get the keyboard to "swype". I've even created a new account with swype to download it again with no luck. I'm close to using something other than CM7 as my daily ROM but I need Swype! Any more ideas?
Thanks!!
When it won't swype after reboot. Try selecting another board, type something, then go back to swype and slide. Used to work for me when I was using swype
this worked flawlessly! thanks
im running nightlies. i downloaded iced glacier for the original swpe .apk and libswpe files. just selected update zip from sdcard in clockwork.
forse closes, then i uninstalled and uses root explorer to copy both files, than i change the permissions, it worked but gave error about licencing, that this is for some other device. im using htc panache stock GB ROM.
than yesterday i realized new beta is out i re-registered and installed the latest beta which is ofcourse much better , only thing im missing is light colored theme of oribngnal swype.

I got the constant force close using the new swype 3.0 the way I fixed it was deleted it then right after I reinstalled it I rebooted in to recovery and cleared both caches and fixed permissions. I don't think rom manager fix permission is working right for this version.
I don't get it. I'm on caulkin and clems 2.2 rom and when I try to change the keyboard it warns me of possible data collection and asks if I want to proceed....but the box wont stay checked. Both slideit and swype do this. I haven't found shapewriter yet. Someone tell what I am doing wrong plz!!!! I can't stand this keyboard.
The rom you are using does not support changes in keyboard. Do this:
1) Open root explorer
2) Navigate to sdcard/data/apps
3) Long press>edit>copy the apk of the keyboard you want to use
4) Navigate in root explorer to system/data/apps
5) Mount r/w
6) Paste
7) Mount r/o
8) <<Do the same for all your other input methods you want to install>>
9) Reboot and it now works.

First, I just wanted to thank you since no one else replied! I tried to upgrade to the latest Calkulin and Clem combo but the tablet doesn't like the newer kernel so I put Pershoot's latest kernel on instead.
Robeet is apparently pulling all his ROMs and developing one called Mountain Laurel. Honestly, I don't know what a good ROM is. I want GPU acceleration so I guess that means I have to use a 2.2 ROM because Ginger doesn't accelerate. And I want NTFS access.
ANYWAAAAYyyyy..... I tried to find the apk in the sdcard/data/apps and it didn't seem to be there. I tried to move the original installer apk file (sitting in my download folder) to the folder you suggested but I'm guessing that it's not THAT apk you are telling me to move. But may be I'm wrong.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Besides this and not getting any EA games to work (??...they won't download additional data) I actually like the ROM I'm on.
So unless you think I should change ROMs or know what I'm doing wrong I guess I'm screwed right now.
Hey,
No problem I was equally new 2 months back and had great help from the community. Next time when you can solve probs for others do it too
I personally love Roebeet's roms so i think TNT Lite is awesome.
If the apk is not there, it is probably in data/apk_private. Btw, if you are using swype, the beta version doesnt seem to work -> i tried a month back. Not sure about slideit. I used shapewriter before on the g tab and found it incredibly ugly haha.
For swype you need a modded version:
Instructions:
1) Google this: swype v2.6.48.12226 wsvga
2) Click on first result
3) Go to post 53 and read it.

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have ICS browser on Froyo? I've heard alot of good things about ICS browser, hence I was wondering.
Thanks
Hold on, I'm going to see if I can get it to work on my phone even though I'm 2.3.7 (Gingerbread)....
Load it up here (I don't have the APK) and I'll give it a shot on Froyo tonight and let you now.
Doesn't work (at least on 2.3.7 Firmware), it won't even show up on the home screen. Although I didn't expect it to work, I'm kind of disappointed...
I've uploaded the .apk, and "phrozenflame" if you want to try it yourself this is what you do...
1. Download the browser.apk and put it in somewhere
2. Open the app Root Explorer (if you don't have it download it for 3.99$ from the AM)
3. Follow this directory "/System/App" then copy the "browser.apk" in this folder and back it up to somewhere on your SD card (Directory: "/sdcard").
4. Copy the newly downloaded "browser.apk" and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
5. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
6. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read (See attached image for visual)
7. Click Okay
8. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.
By the way, if you want ICS there is an ICS ROM in development. So far it's coming together nicely (but until they fix video recording I'm not trying it). Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362961
Cheers, many thanks guys!
would flash be broken if it did work?
I'm pretty sure all the improvements are under the hood and in framework
