Straight install typically wont work because the file is edited and it knows it. So you have to force it in there, dont take no for an answer!!! :eek::D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] iGLOMP:
Worked like a charm =). Best part is the caps lock button has a green indicator to differentiate between it and the shift. Thanks again!
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
This is a nice upgrade from the homely blue and grey. Thanks.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zanix:
Nice, looks MUCH better than the blue "Swype -X-"

Works well too
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zanix:
I noticed the Swype icon is just a bit too low in the button

And in the edit panel (Swype from the Swype icon button to the "abc" button) the text is white and hard to read
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
So the swype icon you hit to bring up the options sits too low in its little box? Possible screen shot.

In the edit box that pops up, what color should it be changed to? One that still goes with the theme but at the same time makes the text readable.

Let me know, get me some screen shots, I'll work on it later.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
Okay, the install failed and the terminal commands didn't work. It moved the modified Swype.apk to system/app but it still fails the install.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: I didn't uninstall the first Swype. There was no uninstall option in the App Manager. Both the one that Root Explorer pulls up and the one in Settings/Applications.

EDIT 2: Okay, I reinstalled stock Swype and uninstalled it. Now I'm going to try the terminal.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Your not trying this with root explorer are you?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
It's okay, I just got it to work.

Also, I can send you screenshots of what the other guy was talking about if you like.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
How did you get it to finally work, posting this will help people wo might run into the same problem.

Screenshots would be nice.:)
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
I'll do a writeup in a second.

What I did:

1. Email MegaUpload link to my phone because USB wasn't playing nice.

2. Save as Swype.apk

3. Move it to /sdcard (was in /sdcard/downlaods)

Here's where I go wrong.

4. Delete Swype.apk in /system/app

5. Move modified Swype.apk to /system/app

6. Try install and terminal.

Here's where I fix it.

7. Delete modified Swype.apk in /system/app

8. Download original Swype.apk (I somehow lost the backup I saved >.<)

9. Place in /system/app.

10. Install

11. Go to Settings/Applications

12. Uninstall Swype

13. Use terminal

14. ??????

15. Profit!

I edited the screenies into the last post but here they are again.

You can see the Swype icon is a little too low in the first pic.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
the second image with the text wont show, can you re upload?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
I quick pulled it down when I realized there was a phone number in it. I re-uploaded with it edited.

Here it is again.

You get to this menu when you Swype from OPT to ABC.

You should note the Swype logo is misaligned in portrait mode as well as landscape.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zanix:
Yes, the last few screenshots explain exactly what I was trying to say

Swype icon sits too low, edit panel text is hard to read
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
AHHHH i see now, ok 2 options, leave that one keyboard as stock XSwype, so it will be gray and blue, or shade those keys gray(or some other color). Swype itself puts the images there when the keyboard is loaded. Its not like all the other keyboards where the letters are part of the image. Changing just one part of the code is beyond my capabilities... :(
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
I'd say shade it gray, since that would be more in-line with the current look it has going now.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Check back later tonight for new version.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
V0.2 up

unreadable text in edit mode should be fixed, also noticed the mic was off a bit so i fixed it. Dunno whats up with the placement of the swype icon.. tried resizing the key it sits on to fix the appearance. Let me know...
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
Just follow the same instructions?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
yes sir. same method.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
Okay, now there is no uninstall option for Swype in Settings/Applications. I guess I'll have to go my roundabout route.

EDIT: I had to reinstall official Swype before I was able to uninstall it, so now I'm back on track. Using terminal now.

EDIT 2: Terminal part 1 successful, rebooting...

EDIT 3: Yup, it worked. Text in edit menu is now readable and the mic symbol in landscape mode is fixed. Swype icon is still off but whatever.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
I installed v0.2 as well. Nice work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
I'm loving this theme. I use the multi touch keyboard in Terminal Emulator because it doesn't recognize Swype's backspace and I always wanted Swype to look like it.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
Just letting you know the MegaUpload link is down.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
just checked, works for me:confused:
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
It's working now. :confused:
[Droid X Themes and Apps] xmetl:
does this work with the original Moto droid?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] BB2DX:
Almost, but not quite

Help... I am following directions in OP. When I open text box, I have no option for swype. However, when I go to ASTRO> system/app swype is there, but not installed. When I click install, it says install not successfull. I have tried several times. Uninstalling, reinstalling, and keep getting the same message. What step am I missing.

Yes, I am rooted

Using BTE

Have done this before with black theme
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
Go to Settings > Keyboard and Language. If Swype isn't an option, try this:

Download the unmodified Swype from the OP, put it in /system/app and install it. Then go to Settings > Applications and uninstall Swype. Then follow the terminal instructions and make sure the modified Swype.apk is in /sdcard.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
I'm not sure. bad4u6669 can probably answer that.

It might work since the phones use the same resolutions but I wouldn't try until he answers you.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Original droid is a different resolution. It would work in portrait but not in landscape.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cypherx82:
I thought they were both 480x854.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Actually you are right, I was thinking the Inc....

Sorry
[Droid X Themes and Apps] cray1000:
what version of swype is this?>

the dx has like 1.56.xxx and i noticed there is a copy of swype v1.6.xxx in the wild
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
Gotta wait for one of the guys running it to get back to you on the version, Im using the droid does swype keyboard
[Droid X Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
Swype version 1.55.29.7532
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Darkbandit14:
Will this work with the leaked 2.2?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] zanix:
The leaked 2.2 already has this look
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Darkbandit14:
I think I broke it, lol. I tried to go back to the original swype found in the first page of the thread and now all i get is that com.swype.android.inputmethod activity is not found.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Corey@rabbit:
delete both in terminal emulator

find where they are at..

su

insert mount script here

rm /location/location/com.swpye....

rm /etc for any other one that might be

reboot

navigate to the original one on your sdcard with a file browsing program like astro click it and install the original. although now you have, the original from 2.1 which is grey and blue....

unless you have the backup of your original 2.2 like you should of made:cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
What is the difference between the 2 phone versions besides the buttons and carrier?

Checking samsung.ca for the i9000 it shows it only supports divx and wmv files while SGH t959 shows h264 and MKV, is it just mislabeled on samsung.ca?

I would think the phone itself are the same just different buttons and antenna correct?

I'm a Bell Canada Customer and will be getting the i9000 soon but just want to know why have 2 different vibrant versions, personally i think the captaviate is the best in terms of look and i would much rather have the 4 button layout vs the bell 3 button one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MoussePad:
There are some minor differences between the two models... They are well explained in the Wikipedia page about the Galaxy S... Sorry can't post links yet...

I use latest RoDrIgUeZsTyLe ROM w/ A2SD (from 8-10). I was able to use Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Search, Voice Search and Voice Dialer, REBOOT, then install the new Google Search and Voice Search from market. As stated above all commands work, but the Clock Alarm.

As usual nandroid first just in case.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CasseTrop:
Can anyone please post the 2 new APK's ? I'm in Canadia, can't see them.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] samir5421:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Lamar720:
Thanks to all that helped, and the OP.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CasseTrop:
Thank you!! It works perfectly.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
anyone else find that the new google search does not bind to the search soft-button after uninstalling/reinstalling ?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cloversis:
android.modaco.com/content/software/315754/google-voice-actions-updated-quick-search-box-apks-original-testsigned/

try this instead of running terminal command.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] illumina0:
If you rename the new voice search as the old ones and move them back into system/app and reboot, the search soft-button should work again.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gj13:
Moving them back to /system/app worked. Thanks for the tip!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kepster:
How do you guys make the voice command for the clock to work? It keeps syaing i have to update the clock?!? Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] landwomble:
I'm following this guide:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10389

to getting the search button to work on my Desire.

Problem - if I go into ADB shell and I can "ls data", and see in there an app folder, but if I do "ls /data/app" is says "no such file or directory"?

Is this because I'm using app2sd and if so, why?

Anyway, I got the googlequicksearchbox.apk from modaco here

http://android.modaco.com/content/s...ed-quick-search-box-apks-original-testsigned/

copied to system/app and rebooted and it works great. smashing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xcrider:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chrisgr38:

Im using Kang-o-rama 1.0 b2 CM6RC2 / Apps2Ext.. My apps are on my sd so when ever I get to ( pm uninstall com.google.android.voicessearch) it say failure.. I forgot were my app are stored once you push a2sd ? :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
I am running froyo and CM6 RC2. I used Titanium Backup to uninstall both voice searce and google search. Rebooted and went to the market to install. Worked!

Just trying to install before reboot will not work. Thanks for the heads up guys/gals! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
For the search button binding:

adb remount
adb pull /data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk .
adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox
adb push com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk /system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] antiochasylum:
Root explorer, Search for VoiceSearch.apk, mount system. Rename to VoiceSearch.apk.old. Unmount system, Install From market. Done.

Works like a champ for me, screw all this adb stuff and terminal. Lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dafunky:
I tried the first cmd instructions, I had this error :

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell pm uninstall com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Failure

Now I have lost my quick search. I've just successfully installed Paul's official apks, but the search button is still not working.

Any suggestion?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] iPhoneSlayer:
I did the same thing, but when I try to use voice action by say "Text Tom Hi" it just pulls a google search box...it doesn't text the person.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] britoso:
It means you didnt install (get the new apk) from the market (or elsewhere)

In short you just need "/system/app/GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" present and installed. (no version in /data/app)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] angasreid:
The terminal method worked great. I'm running Kang-o-rama b2 fyi.

Thanks samir.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
Strange...Mine works fine. You need to say the exact contact name I think to text.

I havent tried the Alarm Clock feature yet though.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Exactly how do i rename as the old one an move it to system/apps to get the sft search key to work again? Sorry im a newb at this stuff
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Nevermind i just installed the new gapps from the cyanogenmod forums an now everything works great, new googlequicksearch an everything
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pfer10:
You are using Gapps FRF91 and it has the new voice search?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Agent Wax:
titanium backup unistall did the trick for me. running latest nightly btw
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DeathCab4LU:
thank you so much this worked great for me!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Yea its gapps frf91 3up its has the new voice search, new google search, an the soft search key is working as well
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pakraider:
this has promise, but it doesn't pick up any of my contact names when I try to text or call.. :confused:

Vlingo just made their app free on the market, and it works perfectly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CPNowell:
There seems to be a difference to the "Voice Actions for Android" (Google Voice Search app) that you guys are getting in the U.S. to the one we are getting from the Market over here in the UK. The one we get is v2.0.1. Is it the same version number over there?

I have it installed on my HTC Desire with FroYo update and if you hit/hold the search button to bring up the MIC and then tap "Help", on ours you just get 4 possible actions and no more. The ones we get are:

"navigate to"

"directions to"

"map of"

"call"

I have confirmed that all of the above 4 commands work very reliably but "send text", "listen to", "send e-mail", "note to" & "go to" don't and all result in the same thing, which is, correctly recognised speech string but just opened in a standard search screen... Very irritating that all the commands don't work 100% :(

Update: I have just been and had a read of the Google blog and I can't believe the fix for this is so simple! (and why I didn't think of trying it... doh!) Simply go to settings and then the voice input & output, voice recognizer settings and finally language. Change the language to English (US) and it all starts to work! (even though you may not have an american accent!) ALL of the commands. Why on earth did they do this???? :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bladez:
I just installed Voice Actions using this guide but I have a problem. Google Voice Action is not working for me.

Whenever I open the app or press the 'voice' button on Google search box, it just opens this window that offers me to watch a video about Google Voice Actions. And I have set English (US) in 'Voice input & output' settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CPNowell:
It did this for me but (I guess) I was using it wrongly. Try a push/hold on the hardware search button (magnifying glass button)...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flamechamp:
it WORKS! thanks :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CPNowell:
No probs. Once you've done that at least once, you'll then find that hitting the mic button in Google Search also brings it up correctly after that (as opposed to offering a video!). :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bladez:
The same window pops up. It either offers me to watch a video, or "Try saying..." and bunch of commands I could try saying. But they don't work. There's no button to record what I say and if I try to say it in that window, nothing works.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CPNowell:
Did you hit cancel on that window yet? Cancel should bring up the "Speak Now..." window. After that, the hardware button should work straight away...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bladez:
There's no cancel button.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CPNowell:
Did you try touching the right arrow in the upper right of that window? What happens then?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] lilcleo001:
worked like a charm. thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CPNowell:
Wonderful! Welcome to speaking to your Android! :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bladez:
Yes, I tried that.

I tried speaking those example words or speak something that might work, but absolutely nothing happens. If I click back button on my phone, it just exits this window. And if I again open Voice Actions, it's again this damned window.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] CPNowell:
Then I'm afraid that I don't know what else to suggest? I have the HTC_IME_hi22.apk installed on mine? I wonder if that is what is making the difference?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Zilch25:
Looks like the folks over in the I9000 forums got tired of it before we did!

aditya_t90 wrote a simple little program available through the market that allows you to toggle the media scanner on and off!

Your phone will start up and it will still prepare media but it doesn't bother scanning it. The cons to this, is that your phone won't detect new music added to it (at least through the default media player), but you can rectify this by simply running the program and invoking a media scan. No more scanning after yanking out your USB cable or extra sluggish phone startups!

Just hit the market and search for: Rescan Media ROOT (Not the regular Rescan Media).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bjd223:
Cool. Also the new leaked Captivate ROM is supposed to have a way better media scanner implementation.

Since I never really change anything on my SD card, I'm going to check this out.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Zilch25:
I can confirm the new ROM is better... it's about as fast as it is in in the I9000 ROMS, which is to say: tolerable. But this makes it much better on any ROM :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] magikspl:
Zilch, thank you for this post! I was looking for something having to do with the media scanner as soon as I realized the media player doesn't find new music until I rebooted the phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] krakerx:
have any of you had an issue with this app just hanging at the:

Doing Stuff

Hardcore background Kung-fu

screen?

Even when I type in the terminal command it hangs. My phone is fully rooted, and haven't had any issues.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Zilch25:
I didn't have this problem, but one guy in the I9000 forums did, I'll link you to the comment from the author:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7630532&postcount=16

Just enter that little code snippet into adb, apparently you only have to do it once and the program should run without any issues after that.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aditya_t90:
I don't know much about the Captivate but you could help me out by opening my app while running adb logcat.

Then post the data you get from logcat.

Also are you running a stock rom or are you running a modified ROM?

Also does the Startup Manager work or does that hang too?

I'll try to fix it if I can. You are the first device I have seen with such a unique issue.:p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Zilch25:
You know what's odd, is that I just reflashed to JM5 on my Captivate and went to reinstall it and I was having the same issue.

What makes even less sense is that after turning on debug mode the program ran flawlessly without me even having to terminate the task O_o

Confirmed: I just turned debug mode off, ran it again and its hanging again. Toggled debug back on and it works again. Weird eh?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] aditya_t90:
Let me sleep over it and I'll try and find a soln.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Zilch25:
Thanks for the support! Hope this turns out to be an easy one :D

There's an android widget called ' power control'. Make sure the little circle icon with the circular arrows is on. Somehow I had mine turned off and it caused this same problem.

Try this: gmail>hard settings button>accounts>hard settings button>account settings>be sure auto-sync is enabled

Check the sync Gmail box and/or

Contacts and Calendar if you want these sync'd as well..:D
[Droid X General] Ryphez:
Another easy way to enable auto sync is to put a power control widget on 1 of your home screens and make sure the circle with 2 arrows is enabled.

Hold on empty space -> Android Widgets -> Power Control to get the widget on screen
