usually it doesnt work if your swype.apk isnt inside your /system/app folder, if you have root explorer look through you're phone and see if there is a swype.apk in there. If not copy an apk from where it is to that folder and then use metamorph to reskin it. hope that works
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
most of the time I post long responses, I'm drunk. just fyi :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] MarmadukeMSB:
Just had a look. There is a swype.apk in /system/app folder on froyo cognition. Any other ideas? This was my favorite morph before i moved to 2.2. I miss it. :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DJNgoma:
Yea, same settings. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to go back to stock and redo the whole process. I'm sure it is metamorph, you will see the same buggy errors in the other morphs(Minimalistic Mod and the Evo Black Bar) in the forum. If there were APKs or flashable, but alas the law suits.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
its so nice to see the blame for things going wrong while applying my themes be put on the program that uses the images to apply the theme, instead of my images only lol

the only non image file that is put in the .zip, is a very small .xml file that tells metamorph where which images should go. no scripts are included, just containers for strings and simple instructions.

I honestly had less issue with themeing whole .apk copies of Swype, but I can't do that anymore :(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DJNgoma:
With all due respect, I've tried avoid the metamorph all together. When I was still on Stock Eclair the flashable zips of the Minimalistic Mod worked fine, then you get to Metamorph which decides to work when it wants to.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Banditlol:
this might make a difference but is it swype.apk or Swype.apk i believe that those are two completely different things, rename it so it has the cap and then try to use metamorph to apply then restart
[Captivate Themes and Apps] koreancanuck:
Hoey,

I enjoyed your work since the original swype modifications! Thank you :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DJNgoma:
+1, likewise
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cwgannon:
Oh, this Naked White one is something to behold. Thank you!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] screwyluie:
just to add my experience... I'm running the latest froyo cognition rom, latest super user... couldnt get this to work... swype.apk was in system/app.. nothing worked.... installed busy box from the market (verion 1.17.1), re applied this morph, and now it all works great

thanks

update... so after getting the white to work I wanted to try the blue, I did the morph, it said it was good, went to check and swype as disabled, and wasn't even an option in the settings... so I applied it again, went back to the settings and there it was again, and all is well, nice and blue, loving it. so just as a side note, sometimes doing the morph more then once is needed
[Captivate Themes and Apps] cmeyer3:
thank you for a great theme,,,,,screwyluie i used your method and it works for me now. thank you as well
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Metamorph isn't exactly the most efficient way to do these, I'll admit, but they are the most universally compatible. B/c the Swype.apk on the Epic is not the same as the apk on the Vibrant, etc, etc.

The images are in the same place, so it's easier to just release a MM that encompasses all versions of the apk.

Anyways, apologies for my extended hiatus, I will be creating more soon enough :)

YAYYYY HTC KEYBOARD

i've been waiting a long time for this theme :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Ok guys, I just posted the Hoey Phone 7 and Galaxy S-Flavored HP7 themes!

I saw a guy somewhere online that had been designing the same sort of theme for Swype on Windows 6.1 phone or something, and all I could get from it was .cab files. I don't know what to do with a .cab file, and don't have much inclination to learn, so I just decided to start from scratch. I might post color variations of it besides the plain HP7 Grey and the Galaxy Blue, but right now, I will be turning my focus to making a full V.I. and non-V.I. theme set. That way, you can have your cake AND eat it :D

I worked extra hard on the HP7 theme, so please leave your feedback :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Zeimus:
who has tested this on cog?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Cupricreki:
So this is how i managed to get this to work on Cog (2.3b6)

I have swype 2.10.52.13753

1. I found the Swype .apk in: /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk

2. Using Root Explorer I copied the file to /system/app and renamed it swype.apk

3. Used metamorph to apply the theme

3. Copied and pasted the swype.apk from /system/app into /data/app because Root Explorer wouldn't allow me to move it.

4. Deleted the original com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk file and renamed the newly themed swype file to com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk

5. PROFIT!

After a reboot it's working great!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:

*AndBlue

Thanks for the themes, I really like how they look!

I wanted a bit more color in mine [ like the Gingerbread version ], so I made the following by replacing the white sections in the NakedWhite* with the blue parts of NakedBlue:

android.mehtank.com/themes/YellowAndBlue.zip

android.mehtank.com/themes/PinkAndBlue.zip

android.mehtank.com/themes/PurpleAndBlue.zip

For example, YellowAndBlue looks like:

android.mehtank.com/themes/YellowAndBlue.png

They're not perfect because of antialiasing effects, but they look good enough for me. Hoey, I hope I have your permission to make and post the modifications [ if not let me know ] for anyone else who wanted something similar.

swype uninstalls

hello, i've been really wanting to apply these themes on my HD2 but it seems that after everytime i do the steps, swype is no longer installed and i have to re-install it again.

i follow the /data/app/ steps but can't get it to work...

also, the file in /data/app/ is actually named com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk and i put that in...

please help anyone?

If anyone is interested, I made a couple of modifications to the Black Glass theme for myself and if Hoey doesn't mind, thought I would share. These include making all of the blue accents (balas lock, select key, jump, swype, glow, etc) green, and I also included the Grey WCW since my version of Swype has black text. I really like the green more than blue. Enjoy :)

Keep in mind, metamorph doesn't have the ability to replace the libSwypeCore.so file that controls the dark green word selection in your screen shot. Some users may have blue our white to contend with

[Captivate Themes and Apps] hoey2011:
Sorry for my extended absence everyone, but I have been working my butt off with this new job, had many social glitches that took alot of time and energy, and well, I'm just a lazy person, so the little time I did have to myself I reserved for females and sleep.

Anyhow, I would suggest for those of you that aren't having any luck applying the Morphs to read up on apk modification, and extract the current version of swype you are using, decompile, inject the images, recompile and install.

That's how I test my themes before I make them Morphs, simply because it's faster and less glitchy that way. I am using a Vibrant so any versions I post will likely not work for you Cappy users.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
hi, dont worry for your absence, your effort is greatly accepted. I just wanted to ask you, can you explain to me something, or what programs i need to use, or a tutorial, on how to edit .apk, im know much of image editing but with .apk im still new. thanks in advance.

Hi!

I just installed the naked white pink swype and everything works fine!!

Thanks again for such a beautiful swype theme!! :D

EDIT: Ok, sorry, just read your post about how each phone has a specific code for the trail and the word prediction box

Hi,

Before i start asking for stuff i would like to thank all the great "cooks" out there. Without them my htc mega phone would just suck :P

Now for the good part.

I would like to request a WM 6.5.5 lite ROM with the newest build and the known fixes aplied (scroll on dialer, arktask, battery fix, and any other fix that you know that i did not mention).

you can remove all that heavy stuff, cause anyone who wants can just install anyway. And becouse the porpose is to have a base, lite rom that anyone can add whatever they want. Thank you.

[Epic 4G Themes] Eazail70x7:
These are great. My only question is will these themes work on the version of swype thats installed on the Epic 4g? (The epic has the speech to txt button while the others dont)

As for my request, can we get a swype theme that looks like the black Samsung on screen keyboard?
[Epic 4G Themes] Dman10:
My request is a kinda dark Purple keyboard that looks like the stock Samsung Keyboard.
[Epic 4G Themes] hoey2011:
Hm... I will probably just need the image files from the Epic4g Swype.apk. I am sure they will be different, and I'm certain that our kind fellowship here at XDA will port it soon enough to work on all Galaxy S variants. So, I wouldn't worry too much about compatibility. With open source, compatibility is an eventuality.

[Epic 4G Themes] NeeceeBabe:
Silly Question..

If I wanna go back to stock swype keyboard. How do I do that! ? LoL
[Epic 4G Themes] hoey2011:
i was a bit shortsighted posting these themes for Swype in the Epic 4G forums I guess, because you have a different version than us Captivate and Vibrant users. I need the files from your Swype.apk file to create a theme for you that will work.
[Epic 4G Themes] dwyw42:
Hoey, the system dump can be found here: (link stolen from androidcentral forums, sorry no link bc it won't let me!) 4shared.com/file/dgE_26tO/Epic4G-system-dump.html

SB: you need to extract the Swype.apk from the above zip to your pc. Then switch your kb to stock android kb and remount /system as r/w. Then delete or rename /system/app/Swype.apk using adb, and push the Swype.apk extracted above to /system/app. Or just wait till Hoey can update the skins :-)
[Epic 4G Themes] hoey2011:
THANK YOU! I'm downloading it now. I just itch at the thought of how many Epic users have applied my skins and been disappointed :( If I can get the Swype.apk from this .zip to work on my Vibrant, I can test the themes and be happy with them before I distribute, otherwise I'll just have to ask for some testers ;)

OP updated with new themes (corrected Naked Swype, NakedBlue, and Stock)

more to come as I get back into the swing of things.
[Epic 4G Themes] hoey2011:
Black Glass is now on the OP

For those of you wondering about the themed Swype trail colors, this presents a unique problem for me, since Swype doesn't seem to want to allow simple hex code modification to their precious core library files. The Vibrant, Epic, Fascinate and Captivate all have DIFFERENT core libraries that the keyboard works from. The challenge, therefore, is that the different versions of Swype are difficult to theme, since I have 4 different library files, and about 8 colors I use. The Swype trail color hex code also controls the highlighted word in the word choice window, so if you add a red line theme, the highlighted word will also be red.

My solution, then, is to only offer a pay-by-theme sort of service. Releasing these library files requires way too much work to support like metamorph themes. I am thinking of how I can implement this, I'll get back to ya'll :D
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
Should I remove stock the swype before applying the new one or does metamorph just take the extracted files and skin right over the original app? TIA...nvmd, that was easy enough!!! Naked blue looks great, good looking out dude for making my Epic that much more awesome-and-then-some!!!
[Epic 4G Themes] hoey2011:
Will be adding some color variants of naked and glass, possibly later tonight. I know that naked red and green will look sweet, and I know a few of you like the colored glass
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
right on homie!
[Epic 4G Themes] MysteryEmotionz:
I installed the black glass theme and love it. The is only one problem but us minor. The body row of letters don't highlite in the correct places when pressed. There way off center
[Epic 4G Themes] hoey2011:
this issue happens sporadically for various versions of Swype I have used. Im not sure what causes it to drift off center for button presses, but i've tested the ones I have posted so far, and they are all button-press-accurate, just the highlight is off.

This is why Swype needs to integrate themes, so we don't have to use 3rd party apps made for system theming :)
[Epic 4G Themes] JungleJiujitsu:
Thanks for the upload broda!!! Been using the naked swype(white on black) for a minute now, which is mad sexy, and was wondering if you could possible port these over to swype for our epic to spice things up a bit, TIA

But I wanted to understand how this works,

A) does MetaMorph run in the background after you apply a theme?

B) does it stay after rebooting if MetaMorph is uninstalled?

and last but not least how would you remove unistll a theme to go back to stock

O and what files should I backup (Swype.apk ??) I always like to backup ;-)
