Still no luck with official update (2/16) for swype for cm9 ics on the Kindle Fire

So swype has a new update today (2/16) that is supposed to support ICS tablets officially. I tried my luck by downloading a new installer and tried to install in on my rooted KF running the cm9 ICS rom. No luck. Still gives me the 'not supported screen' error message. Are there any hacks that can get our lovely swype to work on the KF for ICS yet? I'm getting tired of the stock keyboard.
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
I did this as well, and it had been working great. Now I received notification of a Swype update. Has anyone installed the update?
[Kindle Fire General] ontwowheels:
I may do a TRWP backup and then do the update.

I'm running CM7 and had no problem downloading and installing the latest Swype update. Honestly, not being able to use my Swype on CM9 will keep me on CM7 indefinitely.
[Kindle Fire General] bleyten:
I extracted the Swype apk from my backup of CM7 so I could use it on my CM9 install. It works just fine but the keyboard is more narrow than the screen even in the vertical orientation and it occasionally nags about the version being incorrect for the screen size when going from vertical to horizonal.
[Kindle Fire General] 85gallon:
Instead of using your backup to install, just run your installer and download a fresh install of the beta. As long as you have your user name and password, Swype will let you download it again. Then you have a fresh install without any settings that may exist in the backup.
[Kindle Fire General] bleyten:
That's the problem, as others have mentioned in this thread...Swype won't install that way on the CM9 ICS ROM. Gives and error saying Swype doesn't work with these screen dimensions.
[Kindle Fire General] 85gallon:
I thought it might be worth a try since there is mention of an update a few posts up.
[Kindle Fire General] Jspex:
Swype on kindle

Here is how I got it working. Download the beta and install as normal.

Then with root explorer go data/apps and move the Swype app (not the installer) to system/apps and reinstall. Restart your kindle and open your browser. Select a text space and long press. Select input method and pick Swype. So far it is working good for me.

Edit: this is on rooted stock not a cm ROM
[Kindle Fire General] BananaFusion:
I found the solution! The problem is the virtual keys at the bottom (the back, home, and task switch). It confuses the installer into thinking you have an odd screen size, and thus gives that error. But changing the DPI can fool Android into thinking it's a phone, and then it removes those virtual buttons.

After some Google searching, I found this thread which explains how to do it.

1) First get the Swype Beta installer

2) Then install this app which will be used to change the pixel density https://market.android.com/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi

3) Put the Swype installer and this LCD installer on their own screen, so you can easily access them after changing the DPI. Otherwise everything is too scrunched together

4) Open up the LCD Density app, change it to 240, then reboot.

5) When it comes back up, install Swype. You won't get that error anymore.

6) Then go back to the LCD Density app, change it back to 160, and reboot

And then you're good to go!

Or download Skype on android phone download my appsharer from market and copy app.apk to drop box then open drop box on kf and install file:-) :-) :-) :-)

Edit.. swype not skype:-)
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
Thanks for that...works perfectly
[Kindle Fire General] WebKat:
I have tried moving the apk file into the system/app folder and running it from there and that got me to where I could select Swype as my default input (which was a step in the right direction) however... now any time I tap into a text field, Swype crashes and force closes :( I had to revert to the Kindle keyboard. Any tips/ideas? I'm rooted but not running any ROMs or anything like that.
[Kindle Fire General] Hashbang173:
When your in system/app and see swype click it then install it

if you find something I posted helpful please thank me
[Kindle Fire General] jacewt:
Here are clearer updated direction borrowed from somewhere else.

1) Install the Swype keyboard

2) Use Root Explorer and navigate to /data/apps and find the Swype apk

3) Move the Swype apk (not the installer) to /system/apps

4) Make sure permissions are rw- r-- r--

5) Reboot your device

6) Long press on a text field, select input﻿ method, then Swype

7)When you use Swype it will constantly Force Close

8)Go back into system/app and press install on the swype apk file that you placed there

9)Then delete the same apk from system/app and reboot.
[Kindle Fire General] WebKat:
tioniaan Gent.

Yeah I already installed it from there. It force closes.

[Kindle Fire General] jji7skyline:
I've tried it without root on my Stock Fire some time ago, so I'm assuming you need root for it.

I did eventually install it later on, on a ICS ROM but I found it buggy and unintuitive.

[Kindle Fire General] Stage:
if your running CM10 you may need to freeze the stock keyboard in Titanium Backup in order for Swype to work.
[Kindle Fire General] 85gallon:
What is the process to freeze? The only thing close that I see is "Input Devices 4.1.1-eng.twagner.20120721.172901" but I am afraid that is going to freeze touch screen input too.
[Kindle Fire General] Stage:
go into backup/restore in Titanium. Click on Android Keyboard. When it gives you the option select FREEZE. You need the paid version of Titanium backup to do this.
[Kindle Fire General] 85gallon:
I didn't go that route. You can go into apps in settings then show all and disable the Android keyboard in there.
[Kindle Fire General] Stage:
Oh, good idea :)

Just an fyi. Autospacing and capitalization doesn't appear to be working when typing in browsers. I have the problem and so do a lot of people in Swype forums. This is Swype beta and Jelly Bean.

hi all gurus,

any one know of a way to do a COMPLETE backup of the kernel / rom /firmware etc from an ACE? as i have two ACEs (one with issue, but i felt it is not morally right to return it back to the retailer). so i am looking for ways can do a complete backup of one phone then using it to restore on another ACE.

so far i tried CWM backup (appears it only backup the ROM, but not kernel such as modem (??)), SGS kernel flasher (can backup kernel, but not able to restore it, either from SGS kernel flasher itself, or from CWM)

so how else i can do a complete image of the phone (i mean complete image of all components), and then can be used to restore?? thanks for all info shared
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] oakville:
180 views, waiting....thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
Okay, let me start by saying I am no expert. If I had a second phone I would try for you, but I don't.

I have several backups through CWM at different dates using different Kernels and even different versions of CWM. With each restore it brings back the different version of CWM, baseband, and the Kernel I had installed.

Just some food for thought with your situation. Have you tried placing the backup's under the directory for CWM backups on your other phone and flashing? Maybe backup the good one, and flash it onto the broken one.... that way you are not risking anything if a problem arises??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] oakville:
thanks, nice to see a fellow Telus user here, :-). yes, i tried to do a backup from CWM (appears it backup the boot and system), then load it back via CWM through restore, it did not work out, how to confirm if cwm backup will also include the kernel portion?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
if you want to make backupp of stoc rom and then want to use cm7 etc

first dowbload cf root kernel

and convert system to ext4

then make backupp otherwise you cant restore backupp anymore
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] oakville:
thanks to all of you. the issue i encountered is my phone have been running as "No service", and not able to find any mobile network after i unlocked it. so i tried various roms, and make no difference, so make me wonder if there is any component that never get refreshed. I have another working SGA, so want to find a way to do a complete image of the working phone and then restore at the phone that are not working....
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
you should never unlock it

look if you have a imei

if not your phone needs to go to service centre

I was just wondering if there was a way to change all of the app icons through the theme feature on ADW launcher? I've applied a theme and some of the icons have changed, but I want to change the remaining apps with the provided icon pack in the app drawer. Every time I change an icon on the home screen, it doesn't change in the app drawer.

Just wondering if there was a method?

I have just upgraded my GSII from resurrection ultimate v 9.0 to v 9.1.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I've found that trying to restore with Titanium, if you try App + Data, it's more trouble than it's worth. I've only had App + Data restore work about 50% of the time.

I now tend to install the app first, and restore just Data through Titanium.

Take it FWIW.
[HTC EVO 3D] Diabetic:
So, this is my short story:

I've had this phone for 6 months. I've had it rooted for about 5 months. I've used tons of Roms, and have had no problems whatsoever. I have several Nandroid backups as well, each dating around 2 months a part (each).

/End Story

Problem:

All of the sudden, I called a friend to find that the in-call volume was EXTREMELY low. I turn it up all the way and could only faintly hear him. He sounded a mile away. I had to turn it on speakerphone to finally make out what he was trying to say.

Things I've Tried:

I've tried going back to each of my Nandroid's, when the sound was working, and nothing was fixed. I've tried Factory Reset with no results. I've wiped cache/dalvik cache - nothing. I've tried messing with Hearing Aid settings - nothing. I've tried turning the volume all the way down in the call, and then turn it all the way up to see if it fixes it - no results.

Currently I'm running the Infected Rom 3.5. But I tried calling people on MIUI, Sense 3.0, etc, with no results thus far.

Question:

WHAT could possibly be causing this? It's not like I blew a speaker, I've never done any volume adjustments on my phone with an app or anything. The receiver still works, as I can hear them, but they sound near non-existent until I switch to speakerphone.

Any guesses/suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
As with more abnormal issues such as this, the best recommendation, in my opinion, is to revert to a stock ROM, kernel and clear the /data partition.

This will ensure the device is running 100% stock software. If the issue still persists with stock ROM, kernel and a cleared /data partition (test before loading 3rd party apps) the final conclusion would be a hardware related issue. At this point, should be able to take the device in for service.

If the issue disappears on a stock setup, then you can start eliminating possibilities such as a specific ROM, kernel or 3rd party apps which could be impacting the volume.

Hope that helps!
[HTC EVO 3D] Diabetic:
^

I pretty much did as suggestion, but I decided to put on an almost-stock ROM (with some visual differences) to sprint first. When I told the technician the problem, he noticed the rooted phone and said that it was because of my software. I knew it wasn't, because of all the resetting I had done, different nandroids, etc, and that it was the in-call receiver. He stated he was 100% sure it wasn't.

I went home, went back to full stock. Same problem. Took it to a different sprint store and they said that there was a connector issue, and since they didn't have the part - they will order me a new phone for 38 dollars (I didn't have a warranty).

Not too bad. Too bad the d*ck at the sprint store couldn't have looked at it first, as he would have seen that. But oh well. Whatchya gonna do?

Decided to post this in case someone has similar issues.

I just got two:

Samsung Galaxy S II - Titanium from T-mobile (SGH-T989)

Not rooted, etc...But stock, as they come from t-mobile.

Voice quality is pretty bad on those two units. I can hear the other party muffed. I thought they are on speakerphone or talking thru a headset. Then the person with the other S G II noticed the same issue. I am having hard time understanding the other party in every call. I really got to focus on the conversation :)

Low voice volume when rocker is on max. It is hard to hear people in street noisy environment.

I talked to T-mo rep and they said that probably the phone is like this, and suggested to go to t-mo store and try one of their units. I wonder if it's the entire batch or the phones are like this.

I am coming from Google Nexus One. I wonder if Ice Cream will solve this issue or cyanogen mod 9. Is it hardware or software issue? Anyone else with similar thoughts?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sharkoparko:
Thank you for your input.

I have no problem with my mic. The other party has no problem either, since I talk to different people, and I still have the same result. I have problem with the speaker, or the sound chip. The phones are brand new so no lint/dust in the speaker, or the mic.

I think Samsung does some changes with every different batch. This one is probably just like this. Nothing can be done. The series I am talking is: Samsung Galaxy S II – Titanium for T-Mobile, manufactured in December 2011 (no headphones in the box).

I am sure a lot of other SG2 s are fine.

The volume is on max, when I call someone (before the other party answers) ringing in the speaker is not clear or crisp, since the volume is on max.

I talked to Samsung today 12/21 and they have not hear of the issue. I talked to t-mobile on 12/20 and they have no solution either.

I guess it’s going on craigslist. Probably this will be normal voice quality for other users, and I will downgrade to Nexus S (hardware wise) until some other nexus appears at the end of the next year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tiguy99:
That's what it is. Talk on my phone you'll clearly see the difference. My old Sensation had horrible call quality until I ran the volume + app but then my battery started dying quickly

So I got rid of it & haven't looked back since.

This is someone coming from an unlocked iphone 4 in white (best call quality besides the Galaxy S2)

My GS2 is so clear and loud I never have to worry about hearing other callers no matter where I am. Take both phones back and have the reps at the store exchange them for you.

If they give you grief, have them make calls from your 2 handsets. Make sure they grab a demo phone to compare yours to
