[Fascinate Android Development] tapout27:
It looks like you may have took it as me being rude, I def was not...I apologize...I was just being specific

Under Geeknik for Dl01 I downloaded v1.23 so I was just making sure Interactive was ok to run with my combo...for stability/batt/speed purposes or if people experienced random reboots etc...?

again if I came off like a jerk i didnt mean too
[Fascinate Android Development] obededom:
no I apologize. I reacted without thinking. I was the idiot.

from what i understood set cpu was not needed with these kernels. I believe they govern themselves. At least that's how I have it set up on mine.
[Fascinate Android Development] tapout27:
ok cool...thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] iofthestorm:
I think in general you're not supposed to use interactive with kernels on the Fascinate. Geeknik was trying to use it for some of his later DJ05 kernels before he jumped ship. Why he jumped ship to a phone which can't have custom kernels, I'm not sure... but it's his decision, I guess.
[Fascinate Android Development] imnuts:
The default on the Fascinate is conservative, and interactive isn't going to make the system noticeably faster, but it will drain the battery faster from what i've heard.
[Fascinate Android Development] tapout27:
i guess for now i will stay with Conservative...thanks guys, i appreciate the advice

I'm looking for it, too.

It's not available in Germany :(

Do I just install this apk file and that should overwrite the stock Gmail app? Can any explain the proper procedure! Plz!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freco:
Can I use it on Android 2.1 or it's for 2.2?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -Arturo-:
Yes use a generic file explorer to instal the apk.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -Arturo-:
Yes use a generic file explorer to instal the apk.

I think it shouldn't break anything but just in case make a backup of your files before you attempt to install gmail.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
Ok here goes.. This version of Swype is WAY more accurate that the stock version. It makes it SO much nicer to use.

Flash at your own risk. It worked ok in IRC last night, although some ppl did have problems flashing via CWM.

The Root Explorer method seems to be working for everybody.. so have at it, just make a backup first.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!

​

I dont want to hear it when your Swype is borked and you cant get it back because you didnt do a backup, not my fault. You have been warned! :)

Instructions:

Step 1. Change your default keyboard to the stock android keyboard, or any keyboard other than Swype.

Step 2. Using Root Explorer, Delete Swype.apk from /system/app/ and libSwypecore.so from /system/lib/

Step 3. Pull Swype.apk from the .zip file in this post

Step 4. Copy Swype.apk into /system/app/ using Root Explorer

Step 5. Reboot

You can also try just deleting Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib/ and then flashing the zip file via CWM, but some have success that way, and some dont. Not sure why, but its about 60/40.

Works great for me, follow the instructions and let me know how it turns out for you

To revert back to Stock Swype - flash this via CWM -Mod Removal - Swype not allowed in .Zips

tytytytytyty

works awesome!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ibegary:
Followed your instructions with Blackhole Rom (DJ01). Keep getting FC's. Even after clearing Cache, Dalvik and Fixing permissions.

Going to see if I can investigate why. Will keep you posted.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Ahodson1985:
I had same problem. Running dj05 with stupid fast kernel.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ibegary:
I had to totally uninstall the Swype app using ADB (adb uninstall com...swype...)

and then fresh install it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Jbuch84:
Br broke my swype too, force close hell :-(
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jonnyviking:
I wanted to try this but i guess i'll wait since i'm also running DJ05 stupidfast 1.76 with blackhole 2.2. I don't need the FC hassle...lol...hopefully it will get fixed cuz i would love to try it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dhuss:
I started reading this excited and as I moved down the page I was slowly discouraged. I will have to give this one a try and home when I have my main computer.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zeroxg4:
I just tried this and can confirm thr above claims. Followed given instructions to a t.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] itzjonjon69:
yupp getting the FC of hell now :(
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
This was tested in IRC last before releasing, and the only people who had trouble with it, were the people who did not follow the directions to a T.

Have you guys done EVERY step? Let me know...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sonofskywalker3:
I had to delete the libswypecore.so and the swype.apk file both before flashing this, and then it worked fine. I love how much smoother this works. Great job!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
But it worked for you after doing this?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Benew0:
Signature says it all but this worked perfectly! I just followed ops directions.

Sent from my SCH-I500 using the updated swype!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ibegary:
Correct. Just delete the apk and lib then install. Works great.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Ahodson1985:
How did you delete swype? I tried titanium backup force remove but it conflicted with the cwm update.zip. Tried a root file manager but that failed too
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ibegary:
Delete the apk and lib using root explorer.

Then install the apk in the op zip I didn't flash through cwm.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Jbuch84:
Only thing that worked for me was way ibegary stated... Followed original post directions to a "t" to no avail.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Ahodson1985:
Finally got it to work after using root explorer to delete apk then pushing the updated apk in. apparently i forgot To mount as read only. Also didn't know you had to delete libswypecore.so again after flashing. Thanks for this!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] s44:
Yup, got to do everything (deleting, extracting, installing) manually with RE -- don't flash the update at all.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
Weird cuz it worked for ppl in IRC last night, as well as myself. I updated the OP. Glad to see you got it working.\

145 people have downloaded it, and only about 5 had trouble with it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] illtema:
i also did it the first time and it didnt work, then i followed the manual method and i am now loving the new swype! thanks
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] FDro:
DJ05+Supercleanv7+12/3 JT kernel Working great, thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Benew0:
Reiteration

I want to be clear as well I also have "DJ05+Supercleanv7+12/3 JT kernel" and its working great. I followed the OP directions to a T and had no problems at all installing. I used root explorer to delete libswypecore and used cwm to flash the zip immediately after, I'm surprised people are having a hard time with this.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Neuman.Tim:
Doing DJ05 on superclean w/ voodoo 5 running blackish theme (not that it matters) but it is working famously with this swype and I like it alot better than stock. Thanks for the up!

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] durakbane:
you could rename the .apk and .so files by adding a ".old" to the end and then flash the zip...worked for me.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mailaliasgar:

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] BakaUnchi:

The link is dead...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] cesium:
Yeah, please fix the link OP!

edit: actually, he may have been forced to take it down because we're not supposed to share Swype on xda
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] theraptscallion:
Link still works just fine for me. Following the rootexplorer method worked without any trouble. New keyboard is great thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
The link is fine. It must have been DropBox error.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] syaoran12:
Amazing! Much better than stock!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] deaffob:
what version is this? I'm on 2.15.XX so I don't know if I have the same version.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
You're not a mod, what do you care? White Knight... lol

Relax, it came with our phones, so its not like its warez.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] acgr4me:
I used durakbane method of rename to old instead of deleting and it works great so far. No problems yet. Thanks OP.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] orion421:
Followed the root explorer method and it works great. Thanks
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] iceman1183:
Worked like a champ. Renamed the old stuff .old with root explorer, flashed the zip in cwm. Awesome, keys bigger makes it much more accurate. Thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Dhuss:
I love this! Works like a charm! Thanks a ton man.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] crispybacon:
Works fine for me too, dj05 v7/V5 kernel. Just read and follow all the instructions and you cant go wrong.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jonnyviking:
I was getting the FC hell at first when I used ROM mgr to install the zip after following all the directions. What I had to do was find the file in root explorer and extract the apk then find the file in sd/extract and copy it over to system/app and now it's working like a charm.

Thanks to the OP. New swype is way better.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] je2345:
All worked well for me using root explorer, even applied theme overtop with metamorph afterwards.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] garywojdan81:
Used supermanager method & it worked great thanks.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jiggaman508:
Root explorer method worked for me..just a heads up I had three libswypecore files in system/lib...dunno why but it was causing fc hell until I noticed there were two more after I deleted the first..once I deleted the other two I was good thanks a lot this swype is much better...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bleeeeeeek:
Works like a charm.. Gracias

Where is this from if I may ask?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] iofthestorm:
Works for me too, also curious about where this came from. The color scheme is a little nicer and the keys feel a bit bigger which is always good. So far I can't really tell if it's much faster though. Also curious about whether this will be deactivated or anything like that.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] taiya:
I dont know why this won't work for me. I keep deleting the .so which i have 2 of... and the apk but then when i try to move the updated apk over the old sywpe pops up again >_> yes i did set android keyboard as default... I don't know why its keeps doing that
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] baron4406:
Did a Nandriod backup and did the root explorer method, works great!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jman391:
I'm having the same problem. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. JT SuperClean .7, Geeknik 1.7 kernal
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Jaredsk74:
Followed instructions and used root explorer to delete old crap and move new apk into apps and swype works great after I rebooted. I love it, thank you!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] andrew1263:
worked like a charm, very easy instructions. The only thing i noticed is that it tends to leave caps lock on when i'm typing a word so the first two letters are always in caps.. Is anyone else having this problem?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bleeeeeeek:
This seems to be a dj05 problem that has been observed..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] andrew1263:
Thanks for letting me know, at least i know it's not just me that is suffering from this nusance
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sonofskywalker3:
lexusbrian400: I got a logcat from someone having the FC issue, even though the app was preinstalled into my latest rom. please take a look at this if you have time, it may help you fix the issues these people are having.

www.androiddoes.net/sonofskywalker3/logcat.log
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jamesbdh:
sonofaskywalker: I just flashed bh 2.2.1 and had the FC. I then followed the instructions on the OP and it works now. could it be a theme or the fact that the libSwype.so was still there? I restarted and set swype as default. Everything is working but the libSwype.so file was never re-created. Maybe that is the issue?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jamesbdh:
Just as an update, I tried to flash Super Dark theme. It immediately broke Swype again. I went back and deleted the APK and copied back the included one. It is now working fine. Maybe a theme issue?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sonofskywalker3:
you are almost certainly right. if a theme contains the swype.apk that would overwrite what's built into the rom, and then it would force close because it's missing the libswypecore.so most likely. I'm gonna have to look further into this, because i'm using the stock theme. thanks for pointing this out. more later.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] rmtobler:
Same.. the damn files just keep coming back..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sonofskywalker3:
for all of you the issue is with getting write permissions. go to the market and download an app called "mount /system"

In the app press "mount as read/write" and i recommend checking the "mount as read/write on boot" box as well.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Protonus:
Ok, so some tech details on this update that are surprisingly not mentioned here. First of all, this is THE latest Swype beta build available, this is the same version that was just released to their Android beta testers, earlier this month - according to the build number. So this is the "latest and greatest". You can see the build notes and other info here here:

http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1499-Swype-BETA-for-Android-UPDATE-November-2010

Lots looks to be improved, including (thank god!) less "hidden word" pop ups!

This version number is 2.15.56.14870.

The DJ05 Swype build I had, running JT's latest 12/13 kernel and 0.7 of CLEAN ROM, was 2.2.42.10273. So this is definetly much newer than the DJ05 one. My original DI01 Swype was 1.63.39.8794. And for comparison, my friend's Captivate on 2.2 had a Swype build of 2.6.48.12340. So this build in this thread, is newer than all those by a significant amount!

I tried this myself, and it works great! Thanks for posting this!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Protonus:
Also, a coworker was complaining that his HTC EVO on Sprint doesn't have Swype since he went to aftermarket ROM's and 2.2 / Froyo. He said he tried other Swype installs and they didn't work for him, either said they were for the wrong device, or that they were expired. I just straight up installed the APK on his phone like normal, (as in, ran it and installed it from Root Explorer), and it worked! Was immediately available for use as an input method.

So this may work for other devices.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] rmtobler:
worked great. new swype up and running. thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emplox:
is anyone on blackhole 2.3 DJ05 using this successfully?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Stilefish:
Success with DJ05

I made a mistake that I suspect others might have made - I copied Swype.Zip into /system/app/ :eek: instead of the extracted Swype.apk. The result was a lot of FC.

Once I actually followed the instructions *correctly*, it works like a charm.

I am running DJ05, geeknik StupidFast TEST v1.97 kernel, Revolution V.3.6 by RetroKid223 theme, Swype 2.15.56.14870.t100.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] emplox:
right, but is it blackhole 2.3 for the rom?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Stilefish:
No sorry - I didn't mean to reply to your post specifically, I meant to just post a success story. I only have the theme.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] aes55:
works on blackhole 2.3

yes. here's my path (i have it working with super dark theme):

flash blackhole 2.3

flash super dark dj05 (theme only)

select android keyboard in settings

delete swype.apk from /system/app

delete libswypecore.so from /system/lib

extract the new swype.apk from op and move it to /system/app

reboot

works great.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] achandler2:
Man this was my problem. The "mount /system" app saved the day. Oringinally in Root Explorer I would delete the swype.apk file but when I hit refresh it never deleted. This saved the day. New swype now works....... Thanks!

Also this might be the reason why everyone is getting all the FC errors.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Powell730:
I haven't had any problems with FC's but I am curious if this will expire? If it's the beta version I would think at some point that it will...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] bendbowden:
Works great! Thanks! Seems some don't know how to follow instructions to a t :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] JKChad:
Just loaded this up. Its def more responsive and accurate. thanks to all of those who make this available.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Mu9enx:
Thank you!! I hated how the old swype keyboard looked, and this is 10x better. I mini-bricked my phone using the flash method, but after restoring a backup and doing hte manual instructions, works like a charm. Thanks!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jselden:
I renamed the files to .old and had no problems. No FC's yet. Much better than the original version installed on the phone. Thanks again.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] imnuts:
Here is a CWM flashable zip that will remove the .so libs and put the new/updated .apk in place. Like some users, I still get FCs even after deleting the libs, but this should make the process a little easier for some.

MOD Edit; Removed
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Powell730:
I'm loving the feature of double clicking on a word and it brings up my alternate choices!!
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] zipxavier:
I had force close issues after flashing it but as one user pointed out root explorer didn't delete it correctly so I extracted the zip and manually changed the files, did a reboot and all is well. Thanks!

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Protonus:
Were symbols the last thing you used/typed prior to this? I have that happen if I'm typing symbols, and don't switch back to letters. The next time it pops, it's still at symbols. I would think that's intended functionality / working as designed.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] airfreshjoe:
it worked, thru root explorer... im liking it so far ;)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] dbuggity:
Works beautifully! Muchas gracias OP!

Did a quick search with Root Explorer in the lib dir and found 2 Swype lib files. I'm guessing one from stock, one from Super Clean or Superdark theme. Probably why I had nothing but Swype fc when I tried flashing Superdark theme with Super Clean 0.9 earlier today... guess I'll be trying that one again! :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] rufusjenkins:
I too was stuck in the FC loop, and the "mount /system" app saved me. However, in my case, it was NOT Swype.apk but rather libSwypeCore.so that was not being deleted by root explorer.

I am running a blackhole ROM as well.

Also of note, I am running the official beta from Sywpe and not the one from this thread, not that I think it matters any....

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] elijahblake:
which version is this?

Anyone know if it will work on Mesmerize or Showcase?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Protonus:
See my quoted post from earlier in the thread. Please read the thread before asking questions to further clutter it up. Yes, it should work on most any phone using one of the various instructions posted in this thread. If one set of instructions doesn't work, try another.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] elijahblake:
well, i read through about 8 pages and didn't see it... sorry for that..

My swype on my Showcase is 2.6.47.11856 so I'm guessing that my version is newer than this?
