which one looks better

trying to figure out which one looks better
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
Scratch that, I got bored and decided to do the MDPI/XHDPI/XHDPI. Zip Attached.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
This tool will make it easire to make it for all resolutions with one click once you make a set for one resolution: http://code.google.com/p/9patch-resizer/downloads/list

It will make folders with the image resized for the other resolutions!! Only for .9's though...for other images google "FastStone image resizer" to bulk resize the other images...saves a ton of time!!!

[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
Nice one, that will come in handy! Thanks!

I already have FastStone, it's definitely a useful time saver.
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
Another little tweak, if anyone's interested. I was playing around with the dimens.xml and made the overall keyboard size smaller. I thought the keys looked unnecessarily long before. Screen below comparing sizes.
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
Also reduced the app size from 9.26mb to 3.55mb, which is useful given the limited space I have on my system partition. Just deleted all the non-English stuff and the 2 large mp3 files from the assets folder and the ldpi/mdpi/xhdpi/xlarge folders.

Worth doing if you have little space to spare in /system/
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
You're working hard at this man, I appreciate you sharing the knowledge. Is it possible to do a flashable zip to apply it or do we have to push the files to the system folder?

[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
I just tried a flashable zip. Not much luck.

I deleted all the Swype files from my phone first (/system/app/swype.apk, /system/lib/swypelibs and the Swype folder from /data/data/) then I created an update.zip with swype.apk in /system/app/ and the libs in /system/lib/ and installed it through clockwork. It installed fine and re-created the directory in /data/data/ but for some reason it doesn't work. No errors, just the keyboard doesn't even display.

I'll have a think of what else I can try.
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Thought so, ok thank you.

[Android Themes] dkdude36:
you seem like a talented swype themer. pity i didn't find your work sooner. mind sharing the apk for that?
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
Sure, I'll share whatever I can, although I'm not sure what apk you want. The post you quoted was talking about installing Swype with an update.zip through clockwork, the only apk involved was the modified Swype.apk in the /system/app directory which just had the resources.arsc and the PNG's swapped, so I'm a liitle confused. Did you mean the smaller (slimmer) keyboard or the downsized (9.26mb to 3.55mb) apk from my previous posts?

Reply to this post and let me know what you're after, I'll be glad to share whatever I have.
[Android Themes] dkdude36:
i guess the slimmer keyboard ics themed. i think it looks fantastic. mind also including the downsized one? thanks in advance man.
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
I'm not sure if I can post the apk's. Granted they aren't signed so wouldn't install anyway, and even if someone was to sign and install them normally, they still wouldn't work correctly. But given that the rule is to not post any Swype apk's, I not going to.

Instead I'll write out a little guide of what I did.

Slimmer keyboard:

This was essentially trial and error, there are a lot of size options in the dimens.xml and I wasn't really sure what did what, beyond the most obviously named ones. Here's what I changed:

<dimen name="key_height">51.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="keyboard_forced_height">185.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="stroke_key_height">50.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="popup_preview_key_height">50.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="trace_width">7.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="max_height_for_fullscreen">3.5in</dimen>
<dimen name="candidates_list_height">35.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="spell_list_height">35.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="cjk_candidates_arrow_width">30.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="cjk_one_step_candidates_list_height">160.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="cjk_hwr_vertical_candidates_list_height">170.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="cjk_hwr_pad_height">170.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="domain_key_height">50.0dip</dimen>
<dimen name="alpha_hwr_pad_height">150.0dip</dimen>

Not all of those need to be changed, like the trace_width or the max_height_for_fullscreen. I changed those with the thought that if I was making the keyboard a little smaller then it made sense to make the trace a little smaller too. The max height I changed from 4.5in to 3.5in simply because my screen size is 3.5in, I'm not entirely sure if it makes any actual difference. But everything works, so I thought why question it.

Smaller APK size:

I deleted everything in the assets folder EXCEPT for the following:

buildsettings.dat
database_le_dat.mp3
en_gesture.htm
en_help.htm
en_welcome.htm
en_WhatIsSwype.png
icon_down.png
icon_up.png
img_deletekey.png
img_ic_languages.png
img_ic_morehelp.png
img_ic_speak.png
img_ic_swype.png
img_ic_swypeconnect.png
img_ic_tap.png
img_ic_write.png
img_shiftkey.png
img_spacekey.png
img_swypekey.png
languagelist.xml
license.dat
logo_hand.png
logo_info.png
logo_swype.png
style_gesture.css
style_help.css
style_help_rtl.css
style_welcome.css

It's quite possible that some of those listed above could also be deleted, I was just erring on the side of caution. That will bring the apk size down from just over 9mb to approximately 4mb. You can get it under 4mb to around 3.5mb by deleting which ever image directories you don't need from res, so if your phone is HDPI then you can delete the LDPI/MDPI/XHDPI/XLARGE folders if you need that extra bit of space.

Also I've attached my edited resources.arsc which has the colors.xml edits and the dimens.xml edits for the slimmer keyboard.

Now that we have a semi-workable solution, would it be possible to update your website with the precreated apk along with the instructions on how to move things around to make it work?
[Android Themes] djdarkknight96:
Well I haven't had enough time to test it myself yet. Since it's going to take having the beta installed anyway I'm going to just post image files and things need. If I post it to my site non root users will complain that the apk doesn't work. Leaving it here will prevent that.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but by "images with the same size", do you mean same file size (kb, etc) or pixel size?
[Android Themes] TmobileDash12:
Sorry I'm a little confused. I did a full wipe and installed a new ROM.

I installed the swype beta installer, and installed swype beta.

I went into /data/app and got the .apk and put it on my computer.

I replaced the resources and pngs.

I moved the libs from /data/libs to /system/libs

Moved the modified apk to /system/apps.

Deleted the apk from /data/app

Reboot into recovery, fix permissions, reboot.

Now I don't have swype at all. Any help and insight is much appreciated, thank you!
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
I had the same problem after I changed roms.

Here's what I did: delete all the Swype related files on your phone and reboot. Install the original Swype like normal.

IMPORTANT BIT: open up an app that uses the keyboard and switch to Swype, you'll get a couple of pop-up and disclaimers that you have to agree to, once you've agreed to those try typing/swyping to make sure it works.

Carry on with the rest of the steps from there and it should work.

No idea about Jelly Bean, I'm still on ICS at the moment. There is a JB rom available for my phone but I haven't tried it yet as not everything is working, but if you've tried and it doesn't work then I'm guessing it doesn't work. At least we have the theme chooser.

I am tempted to try JB to see why it doesn't work though.

i use your img files on Zephyrty 's way, it works very well.
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
Disappearing how? As in the keyboard was listed as installed in settings > language & input, but the keyboard doesn't show up when you want to type? Because I was just playing around and managed to get that exact problem, although I'm not sure exactly how. After I'd rebooted the first time, neither English (US) or Espanol would type via swyping. Both of the above issues were fix by switching to English UK in the language options in Swype's settings. I haven't encountered either of those errors while using ICS, so there could definitely be some problems related to JB. Maybe that's why it wouldn't work for you and perhaps it's maybe build/phone/rom specific why it works (mostly) for me on CM10/JB.

Indeed, using the theme engine is certainly the easiest and most hassle free method, by far.
[Android Themes] billsky83:
But I don't have this problem.

I did exactly what you posted a few pages before, everything just works fine.

The *.ldb.mp3 files are language databases. If you delete ENubUN_xt9_ALM.ldb.mp3, for example, you will lose your English dictionary.

Also, it is safe to delete the lib folder within the APK to save some space since the files within it are already being copied to /system/lib/.

Hey DJ first off I was a big fan of yours when you had the swypes up on your site and appreciate your work!

I decided to play with swype today and figured it out on my own, but couldn't figure out the trace. Then I found this thread. The issue I am having is the swype I started with was already themed, so the trace is not the default value. Is there another way to find the trace without knowing the code?

So I tried your suggestion..

I initially decompiled the apk using multitool and replaced only the 5 main btn files in drawable-hdpi, then tried to recomple but got errors...

Then I realised that the images have changed slightly since the previous builds...So I edited your images to make them look exactly like the new swype images and I again replaced only the 5 btn files, this time I replaced one of the other pre installed themes(mercury) and kept the default theme as normal...I then recompiled and signed the package and installed it onto my nexus...Everything worked smoothly up until selecting the Mercury theme (which was replaced with your images)...

Now I can select the swype keyboard and type with it but I've lost the ability to swype...

any ideas?
[Android Themes] Zephyrty:
I'm using the the theme engine to replace the images, not actually replacing the images within the Swype apk itself. I did try the decompile/recompile method but like you I lost the ability to swype, only tapping worked.

Also the images supplied in the post I linked have been 9.patched with draw9patch.bat, but also run through xUltimate-9patch. The theme engine seems to prefer just regular 9.patched images (with the 1px black border), the images in the Swype.apk also seem to be regular 9.patch with the 1px black border. I'll attach the regular 9.patch hdpi images of mine to this post for you to try if you like. Although you still may have the issue of not being able to swype.

I tried to theme swype myself, too, to make it fit to the Minimalbread theme I use, but somehow I'm not even able to install the modified apk, but I also haven't tried it with the mentioned tools in this thread.

I learned on dk's website about another Swype-like keyboard called TouchPal. I've been using it for a few days. It uses prediction as well a la SwiftKey and newer versions of Swype.
