Make your default keyboard something other than sywpe.

Go into applications and do a force close, clear cache, clear data on Swype. (I think this step is very important. I skipped it the first time and got force closes after I installed the new swype).

Rename \system\app\swype.apk to swype.apk.bak

Rename \data\dalvik-cache\system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex to system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex.bak

Rename \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so to libSwypeCore.so.bak

Reboot

Install Swype Installer and follow the directions

It took me 3 hours to convince AT&T that my gps was bad and that they should replace it. I've heard other people have better luck, but I guess it depends on who you get in the warrenty department.

Did all this, the Swype installer FCd, now it says it isn't properly licensed and won't work - as well as the damned Swype installer continually FCing. Now what? Why can't anything just go well.....
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
If you follow the instructions exactly, it should work :confused:. You can reverse it to get back original swype.

did he remount system as r/w before he tried renaming?
[Captivate Android Development] gil516:
remember to reboot your phone after deleting the old swype apk and lib file! then go through the swype installer to install swype 3

This may have been asked already, but any plans for Serendipity with I897UCKF1

?

I'm still on Serendipity 7, but wondering if a ROM based on the captivate's I897UCKF1 instead of I9000 would be more stable. Also, I am pretty confused now as to how I can go to an I897 rom. Would I have to flash back to stock first? Or no since I897UCKF1 is Gingerbread? (yes I am somewhat of a noob). I'd like to get to a I897UCKF1 ROM, but I like the work you guys have done and will probably stick with Serendipity 7 until you come out with one based on I897UCKF1 (if you do).
[Captivate Android Development] typehydro:
As long as your phone has 3g or a wifi connection you can still get swype. the apk file will prompt to install. all you need to do is download it from your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Mikey likes to wait for source codes to drop first, not leaked builds.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I did, I promise, every step - but it's not your fault the installer FCd! I'm thinking I can just go into root explorer and delete all the instances of swype and the other files and then start clean. Plan?

Yes, she did :)

Yup, did that. I'm going to try my next plan and see how much trouble I can get into ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
Yeah, after deleting and reboot check the locale and text setting to see if swype doesn't show. Also, do you have latest installer app. I think I remember when I started it up it said their is a new version and downloaded that for me. gl.
[Captivate Android Development] G.Hook:
Ah ok. That's fine with me. Serendipity has seemed pretty stable (I started using it back in 6). I am still actually running the original Serendipity 7 right now, but I am having a few problems like with the sensor turning the screen of during calls. I was going to just wait a bit until another full build, but I have been reading a little about I897UCKF1 lately.

Just to let anybody know who is having issues with swype, I just used Tibu to uninstall it, then rebooted phone and installed the new one from Swype installer (I signed up for the Swype beta). It works fine now.
[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Followed your instructions thanks so much! :D!

Do you happen to know if a green swype theme will come?

Also is this beta something that will expire soon?
[Captivate Android Development] Kagoshema:
she is a smart kookie

so i reset my swype back to the rom version to see if i could replicate your problem, and sure enough, if i followed the instructions exactly and installed full swype beta i got fc

BUT if you uninstall the full beta and then install the english/spanish beta it seems to work

let me know
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I had no installer, just the newest one I downloaded from the beta e-mail.
[Captivate Android Development] Kagoshema:
the installer app is what you download from the beta email

the installer app then downloads and licences the actual swype app
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yes, I know that. It downloaded the swype app and then failed.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I had a similar problem except mine would show error before it would shut down and upon re-boot,

I used root explorer to get rid of everything and then re-installed the apk and it worked

hopefully it will for you too
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I came up with my own method for installing swipe...

Uninstall Swype + Swype Installer via Tibu

Use SD Maid to check for corpses and then clean.

Then just installed, and works perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Wow didn't even think about SD maid and I have that one

I removed Swype using the root explorer method but when i go to install Swype it says application not installed with a checkmark?

You need to go clean some other files. Go get SD Maid, and clean corpses. It should work after.

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
No way. I am holding out for the official "Greeb" version.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I know this isn't a Swype thread, but the discussion here is ongoing - and I have a few points to figure out.

There is no active Swype.apk on my phone, only the swype.apk.bak. There are no active swype files anywhere - yet Swype shows up under Locale and Text, with a checkmark - how can that be? Yes, I rebooted.

I've done the Root Explorer R/W renaming, rebooted, wiped the Swype cache (that still shows up under Settings/Applications, despite it being nowhere to be found), I'm baffled and pissed - I want my Swype back. Any more thoughts? Or should I give up and embrace the Gingerbread keyboard (I want Swype).
[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
Did you uninstall Swype using TiBu?

XDA App, Samsung Captivate, Serendipity VII
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
Also same as what I experienced, download the swype apk from the samsung website or if you want a blue one go to bluedipidy thread there is one there-

anyway using root explorer go to sdcard and click on the installer then it will install

[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Keep fidgeting around with it. It seems like for some it only took a few minutes to install the new swype, it took me close to an hour last night to get it working, lol. Someone posted a good 5 step tutorial a few pages back; he even took the liberty to upload the swype apk. Look a few pages back to try and find it, and make sure you follow the instructions exactly as he had described them.

There. Much better.
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
Ok so are you trying to get rid of Swype all together? If so you delete the swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so from system/lib. If you are trying to reinstall the version of Swype that came with S7, thenreboot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache and the cache partition or it wont work.
[Captivate Android Development] Jaeden09:
Not true. I got my Swype installed without wiping Davlik and the cache. I used SystemApp Remover because I haven't had any luck with TiBu. Wiped it. Rebooted. Used installer and installed Beta with English. Worked but dictionary didn't work, so I uninstalled again, and reinstalled with Beta Full. Works fine now. Not exactly in love with this version, but it's better than nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
Just going off of my own experience from last night. Uninstalled and reinstalled Swype from S7 and it would FC everytime. Uninstalled, reinstalled, cleared dalvick and cache partition and it worked fine. Since he tried everything else don't you think that this is at least worth a try? Worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Since I only need English, I DL'd the apk that was posted here, used root exp. to move it to system/app, double clicked it to install and then said yes to the two questions and bam... done. Worked on my cappy and my wife's. If you only need English then keep is simple!;)
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
For anyone that wants to install the Swype beta, use Tibu to uninstall your current Swype, reboot, then install the beta. This works.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
For most yes, it does seem to work. It has failed miserably for me. Several times. As of right now any trace of Swype is gone from my phone (via Root Explorer, verified after reboot). Dahvlik cache has been wiped. Lockscreen widgets have been restored. I am not up to fighting with it anymore tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] deandre3001:
Glad I could help :)... would you mind giving me a thanks ay

You could always try my method.... it hasn't failed (me) yet.

Go into Tibu, delete Swype + Swype Installer.

Reboot.

Go get SD Maid, check for corpses and delete.

Reboot into recovery.

Clear dalvik + cache.

Go back and try to install.

Worth a shot? I had many, many problems and this seemed to fix it... :rolleyes:

Although without clearing RAM it usually has ~60 to 90M free

Hey Chance,

Just wanted to let you know that I did install the BLN app but "keep the lights on" still doesn't. So I'm assuming that your statement about it not being compatible is probably correct.

It's a bummer because I really like having those on when the screen's on. With my fat fingers it's hard to hit them correctly when they're off.
[Captivate Android Development] sblees:
Got swype to work!

Thanks for the tip! Mine is working now... However, after installing swype beta, it popped up a warning that they may be recording our passwords and credit card numbers?!? I never seen that warning before. Is there a block that can be added like the blocking of ads?

Thanks

Hello everyone new captivate owner and Serendipity is my first ROM i've installed on it. Everything went well from the rooting to the flashing of VII but the only thing that I've noticed so far (just did it this morning) is that once I flashed the ROM my PC will not recognize my phone when connected via USB (either via normal connection or mounted in recovery. ADB doesn't detect it and neither does Odin). On the phone side it detects when I'm connected but my PC and seems to mount fine but nada on my PC.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

EDIT:

OK I noticed two unknown devices where there were none before, I updated the drivers (auto search) and it detected them and now at least I can connect via ADB but still not recognized by PC. Seems it may be driver related I'll look around for a driver.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Do you have USB Debugging enabled? It won't work without it.
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
This worked for me as well. Didn't hurt my widgets fortunately.
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
Ran into a strange issue. I use voice to text to send my texts because I'm way too lazy to type all that in. Voice Search was updated the last time I visited the market and since then when I tried to send a text, it would miss the first several words. No matter where I used voice search. I found out that if I turned off "Personalized Recognition" in the voice settings it would work okay again.

That sucks though because I want that feature!

Anyway, just thought I let you know in case anybody else ran into the issue.

To explain what I was doing wrong last night with Swype, I didn't realize you had to click on the .apk once you had it in place (along with that lib file where it belonged) to actually install Swype. I thought putting them both into place with Root Explorer installed it. :o

[Captivate Android Development] SR4:
I posted this on the Q & A forum, but I wasn't sure if I would get a faster response here. Anyways, I installed Serendipity VII about two weeks ago and have been having some problems with it. I started out with Build #1 and have updated to build #2 and kernel #4 as of a few days ago. Also, I've installed four or five different modems.

The problem is that when I'm on the phone for an extended amount of time, the person on the other end of the phone can no longer hear me even though I can hear them. I always have plenty of signal as well. I fix this problem of not hearing them by turning on the speaker phone. If I switch to speaker, I can hear them and they can hear me. I can also then switch back to the ear piece and we can both hear each other again. Has anyone else had this problem? Any solutions to this? It's quite frustrating to frantically try to switch the speaker phone on before the person on the other end of the line hangs up thinking the call dropped.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
ChanceM,

Can I get some assistance with this? I have followed the instructions to the letter and still have a scrambled boot screen. They are not difficult to follow. I have been flashing ROMs/Kernels/Modems since they started becoming available.

Everything looks like it is working but the boot screen is a garbled mess.

I tried logo.jpg as the readme says and logo_ATNT.jpg as he says in the video. Neither work. I believe logo.jpg is correct because logo_ATNT.jpg give an error.

[Captivate Android Development] Sarius24:
Huh I'm pretty sure with SVII that download mode is an option in the extended power menu. But if you're getting a problem like that where you are pressing recovery and getting download then maybe you need to re-flash the rom. Also are you using a custom theme from another rom by any chance?
