Ok so i just installed cm 7.2, love it by the way adw launcher lagged when scrolling and animations so i deleted and installed adw launcher ex, silky smooth). Anyway to my point, on my old rom and stock rom (gingerreal 2.0 and android 2.3.6) i had swype which is the best android keyboard in my opinion. But on cm7.2 theres no sywpe so i installed it but every time i installed force closed (i installed them manually by putting them in system - apps and changing permissions and rebooting). The beta worked fine but i didnt like the look of it. Is there a version of swype that doesnt FC or do i have to live with the beta version
Download this - http://db.tt/EXqZjyCe
Copy to system/lib folder using root explorer and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Copy swype's apk to system/app folder and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot
Not really sure if this will help.

Didn't work still displays fc window I've attatched the permissions I set
Are they right?
Why not just stick with Swype beta? Just install and use, no need to copy libs and set permission and whatsoever, furthermore its so much better than the old Swype.
And if u dont like the original looks, theres plenty of homemade repack out there with lovely skins. Currently i use a flat black skin.
oh no even the beta wont install now

Delete the libs u copy for the old Swype
Ive aldready done that it says the application was not installed
Good news and bad news. Well I managed to get the swype beta installed, all I had to do was get the installer, boot in recovery mode, clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot, the bad news is it keeps force closing

It isn't the right permissions. tj_droid wrote: rw-r--r--
I tried his method and it worked for me, not on CM, on StockLite, but I think it'll work for you too.
Btw: I understand you, the beta is very annoying for me too. Once you try to put back the stock swype, you will not able to use beta.
So copy that lib file and swype.apk, set the right permission , it must work. I attached you a picture, it'll may help.

This is the first time i've EVER and i will say EVER encountered this issue (for me of course)
I deleted swype.apk from system/app
deleted libswypecore.so from system/lib
rebooted (like 3 times)
and when i click on swype installer, login, and choose SWYPE FULL to install
after a while it says "parsing error not installed " something in that area.
What can i do to make it actually work?
Currently i have no swype, and without swype, my life is ruined.
a bad download, swype tweeted they uploaded the incorrect full version.
Also, why in the world are you using the full version? You only speak/need English. The lite version should work no problem.

Could it have been a bad download? Have you gone to their web site for the beta? I think they have openings

thanks for the tip, but its not working for the english/spanish one either.
and i just found out that the FULL version meant like.. all languages lol.
I thought full was like... the whole swype system, while beta was parts of it.
i'm so dumb
Anyways, are you saying that they tweeted neither of the swype *full AND english/spanish* don't work?

I don't think so.
I have the right swype installer from
www.beta.swype.com
i have a valid account.
as s15 said, its probably the error they tweeted
Gotta wait >.<

so you tired the new updated fixed version? What rom are you using? Couldn't you put swype in that build and then flash it? Just trying to think outside the box is all.
Yes, and i'm using that Sweet Honey one.
Uhm, okay so i did TRY to "think outside the box"
I had a previous version of swype i kept on my SD Card.
I installed that.
Went to Swype Installer.
It recognized the swype version
i logged in.
Then it said "registration failed"
I have the swype keyboard, but no swype gestures or library.
I request that someone goes to system/lib/
and finds libswypecore.so
copies theirs, and gives it to me, so i can use it.
It would be VERY appreciated!
You do realize any tie to swype needs to be removed, then reboot... You can't install swype beta when you already have swype.
Correct.
As far as i know, and this has worked before...
Removing the apk from system/app
and the lib file from system/lib
and rebooting
removes swype.

I'm sorry... I really can't see why your confused.. you mean I should delete the swype file on my SD card too?
Go to root explorer then the root directory. Search swype, delete all references. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, install the beta.
Edit: not the sd card, just the system files.

Turns out me not uninstalling swype installer was the problem :O
Must have had some corrupt data. Usually it will auto update if it's an older version that may cause a problem.
The beta doesn't auto update, you have to open the installer.
The installer I meant..when you open it the installer will update to the latest version then you can check for swype updates.
I had the same issue. Make sure you reboot your phone after you remove the files, then make sure you use the stock browser to download the installer, don't use skyfire or opera or any of those. I had the same issue when i was using skyfire. used the google browser and it worked fine. The website says not to use certain browsers or it won't work.
I'm running Project V(6-11-11) w/ Bali 1.6.5uv. I just got an email to update my swype. So I download swype installer, delete my version of swype using titanium backup, download new version, go to install and everthing is going great. Then it says "application not installed".
I've tried a couple of times always with the same results.
Anybody else having this problem or know what I'm doing wrong?.....thanks
Use root explorer to search for all swype related files, delete them. Then run new updater
Beware of angry gingerbread man
Do you know where the files that i should delete are located?

You should only have to delete Swype.apk in /system/app and libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib. Reboot and it should install then.
That worked jneal9, thanks. It was the libSwypeCore that was holding it up. TB deleted the apk.
Good job, as always for updates, make sure you go to the Root, as this has happened before, swype is better if not Awesome. Good new update.
I have installed several versions of CM7 and my only problem is the gallery. it really takes time to load. I have tried Forced Stop, Restart, and Did the Go Back procedure, same problem.
Wonder how I can fix it.
Did i miss anything?
you might need some script things as i am on custom stock using turboBoost by GadgetCheck+Sladimod3 and galley open faster than quickpic[reported as faster by users here]

1) Use root explorer (or any same kind of app)
2) go to data/app
3) Copy quickpic's apk file (Hint- take a look at the icons of the apk's, you'll easily understand which one is quickpic's file)
4) Paste it to system/app
5) Set permissions to
RW-
R--
R--
6) Exit from root explorer
7) Go to settings-> apps -> manage apps -> QUICKPIC -> uninstall
8) Reboot and enjoy

Since a week or 4 i got my TP i'm using APEX launcher for now.
And thought i could remove the stock launcher.
i think APEX is good but i wanna go back to Stock.
But there doesn't seem to be a way to install the stock launcher.
i somehow totally forgot to back it up.
I downloaded the stock launcher from a site and tried moving it to the system/app Chmod it rebooted and stil it doesn't work.
Tried it wit adb also no success.
Can someone help me?
Did you try installing the .apk? As far as I know that should work....
if you have the default file manager that goes with the prime, go to the root directory (when in sdcard, tap on the folder with an arrow next to it.) Then press the options button (the button on the very top right corner of the screen) and uncheck hide system files. Then you can see a folder called system. Open it, then app. Then find Launcher2.apk and install it.

Have you tried moving the launcher apk to /system/app directory then fix permissions ? You don't have to have cwm recovery installed , just rom manager . Install rom manager then select fix permissions and reboot , worked for me when I installed apex as system app should also work for installing any other launcher or least I assume.

Thanx for the advice i tried it but it didn't fix my problem.
Maybe someone could upload the launcher2.apk and the .odex from the .15 ww version.
Maybe the one 1 downloaded isn't the right one.
Thanks in advanced.
If i do a factory reset will it put all apps including stock launcher back?
Thanx in advance.
I fixed it.
I was pretty desperate but i fixed it.
For everyone who is as stupid as i was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518462
Download the file of above link.
Extract it >> go to system/app in the extracted folder
Copy Launcher2.apk and the Launcher2.odex
Paste them in the system/app/ of your prime.
Then use ROM manager to fix permissions. Like shreddintyres said.
Reboot and then it should work. It did for me.
Thanks everyone for the help.
Does anybody use Swype? I'm starting to get crazy because of it... :banghead: I try to install the beta from swype homepage, it installs, everything's fine, but when I try to use it I get force close. I downloaded a version from google, installed it, get the same problem. Try to copy it to system/app set permissions, than reboot, nothing, but the permissions lost... Any suggestion to make it work?
