Can someone post the version of swype that came on the stock rom? I want to install swype on my new Energy rom, but I can't stand the beta version that they give out.

We had a huge issue with this because Swype got involved a few years ago and wanted all files removed because they saw it as warez.
Sorry I can't allow.
Download the RUU, flash that, pull the files and try those. Sorry.
IF Swype was indeeded included in the stock ROM by default, there's nothing wrong with him installing it or asking for it I personally wasn't aware that Swype came with the stock ROM on these phones...
Hey thanks! I'll give that a shot. You wouldn't happen to know all of the files that I will need would you? I did this for a swype version for my MT4G, and I had to pull the apk and a lib file. Would you happen to know if these are the only two things I'd need for this one?

Yeah it came with a nicer version of swype than the beta gives. I did a nandroid backup, so I guess I could just go back and pull it off of my backup.
Edit: Or it could have been some other tracer keyboard. I guess I may have assumed it was swype.
Edit 2: I just realized that it was the included touch keyboard that I was referring to. Sorry for the confusion. *dumb*. P.S. thanks for the awesome ROM, NRG!

You're absolutely right. My bad. But it MUST come with the version that was shipped with the device. No exceptions!
Inclusion of Swype in ROMs for devices which come with Swype preinstalled, where the version of Swype matches the version distributed with the device and all licensing mechanisms remain intact, and where the user is not infringing on any third party copyrights or other intellectual property rights or violating any third party (e.g., a device manufacturer or carrier) terms of service; and
The use of MetaMorph(R) to modify graphical elements in any licensed installation of Swype.
The stock ROM did not include Swype, only HTC's keyboard that included a tracer feature.

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...

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.
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.....
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!

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.

Im looking for the original keyboard for the amaze, using bulletproof 2.4.1, and cant use the keyboard with the arrows. tried searching and couldnt find it.
What do you mean you searched? All you had to do was download another Sense 3.0 ROM and go to the /system/app/ folder and look for HTC_IME.apk and then push it to see if it worked/had no arrows.
Anyway...
This one works, it is the one I'm using, it is from NRGZ's Energy ROM just for your future reference.
i want to have chinese keyboard in T-Mobile rom
so I had downloaded another ROM and went to the /system/app/ folder and recovered

Not too sure on this one since I only speak and use English, so I think the ROM you are using has to support Mandarin/Cantonese (last time I checked Chinese isn't a language).
So question one: Does your current ROM support Mandarin/Cantonese?
If not find a ROM that does, if it does proceed to question two.
Question two: Did the ROM you took the HTC_IME.apk from, does that ROM support Mandarin/Cantonese?
If yes then I have no idea. If no find a ROM that does and try to use that HTC_IME.apk
That is the extent of my help.
