[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdefazio:
Root Explorer allows you to easily view and modify the entire file system on your phone. You, of course, must be rooted to do this. You can copy, move, paste, delete, etc. It works just like Windows Explorer which should be very familiar if you are a PC user.

To replace your mms.apk you just have to copy the new file over the old one and reboot.

Put the new apk on your internal SD card. Then find it in root explorer (it will be in the 'sdcard' folder.) Long press on the apk and select 'move'. Then move it to where the current mms.apk is. It will ask you if you want to replace the existing file. Select yes. Exit, and reboot. Be sure to do a backup before doing any of this though.

One important thing - There is a little button at the top of the Root Exporer UI. It says either mount r/o (read-only) or mount r/w (read-write) and you can toggle between the two. To make modifications you have to be in r/w.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegastouch:
Thanks, that was easy. Must of been that top button(mount r/w) that was not making it work for me. I didnt know what it was for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huskehn:
So, I decided to root my Evo following this guide. After following the steps, the root worked perfectly and I booted into the new flashed rom. Then I decided to flash Fresh Evo 3.4.0.1, using ROM Manager (downloaded from the Market). I ran ROM Manager, did "Install ROM from SD Card" and chose the zip. My Evo booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1, so I chose "install zip from sdcard", and chose my zip. The install outputs this:

ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1

-- Installing: SDCARD:fresh-evo-3.4.0.1.zip

Of course, I didn't make a Nandroid backup. Can anyone help me?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
When you use Rom manager app to install a Rom and it boots into recovery it should automatically install it. You should not have gone to flash zip from sd card once the phone rebooted into recovery. Try wiping everything(data, cache and davlik) like 2 or 3 times. Then try flashing the Fresh Rom. If that doesn't work, load the pc36img that you used when you rooted your phone(should be Sprint Lovers Rom) back onto your sdcard and power off the phone and reboot into bootloader by holding down vol. down and power. It should scan for the img and just say yes when it asks if you want to update and when it is done say yes when it asks if you want to reboot. Then flash amonRA recovery and put the FreshRom on to your sdcard and boot into recovery and flash the Rom. Make a backup first though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huskehn:
I got into the bootloader, and it's flashing back to the Sprint Lovers rom. Hopefully I can take it from here if I'm more careful. Thank you so much!

Edit: Or not. It did flash the Sprint Lovers rom in the bootloader, but RADIO_V2 returned FAIL-PU and BOOTLOADER returned FAIL-IC. I think I messed this phone up pretty bad.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huskehn:
Here's what the top of my bootloader says if it helps...

SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
Does the phone boot into rom at all?

U r not bricked. As long as u can get into bootloader &/or recovery your phone is fixable. You may have to flash an older radio. I have very limited knowledge and I am sorry that I can't be more help. Someone will come along & help u though. I am still learning. My best suggestion is search the forums & Google for your problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phajen:
It sounds like you got a bad rom download. Try re-downloading it on your computer, boot into recovery, and pushing the rom to your sd card. You might need to reboot for the recovery to see the zip file, but it should work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huskehn:
I fixed it by downloading a stock rom for my phone and just flashing that. I think the rom I was trying to boot isn't supported on my phone or something, because the MD5 hash of the downloaded file matches the hash it says on the website, so it's not corrupt. Thanks for your help though, guys.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freditoj:
Try downgrading the radio (2.15.00.11.19) to an older version. ROM's that come with HTC newest kernels will not recognize that radio and give weird problems, I for example could not boot the phone while trying to install myn's warm 2.2 RLS4. Downgraded radio and problem was solved.
[Wildfire Android Development] powser:
Hi all, yesterday eveneing I've had my htc wild fire, no problem till this morning, when I woked up, I found it that reboot in loop. tried an hard reset but nothin. when I try to fastboot, it say

[Wildfire Android Development] WillKennerley:
Did you flash any rooted stuff (ROM, Kernel)?
[Wildfire Android Development] doomed151:
Send it in for warranty. Most painless route.
[Wildfire Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
That thanks button sucks. In the wrong place.

Anyway, firstly, is it a branded Wildfire?
[Wildfire Android Development] sorahedgehog:
I don't think your phone is bricked.

Mine shows that list of messages when I have the usb cable connected to the computer and I boot into fastboot mode.

The more important thing is, what happens after these messages?

Blank screen?
[Wildfire Android Development] powser:
I've not flashed anything.

I would to try to solve the problem before waranty

It's not a branded wildfire

after the message it return to the fastboot screen as anything happen
[Wildfire Android Development] HCDR.Jacob:
Try running an RUU from http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped

Look under buzz.

Get a 1.xx if you want to be able to root or just want eclair. Get a 2.xx (make sure it's WWE NOT CHS) if you just want froyo and don't want to be able to root.
[Wildfire Android Development] powser:
what's happen to my warranty? becose I don't want to invalid it
[Wildfire Android Development] bassmonkey:
I get that every time. Afterwards, use vol down to recovery n press power, u should have the clockwork recovery screen.

Jacob; should I not get that then? Cos my nandroid back ups n restore work fine??
[Wildfire Android Development] powser:
when I try to recovery, it show me a dark screen with a cellphone and a triangle and after I can't do anything, just remove the battery
[Wildfire Android Development] zamps:
I agree, thats what happens on mine all the time, apart from if I have only just installed a new rom and havent booted into it for the first time yet. Could be to do with Dalvik maybe? just a guess, im not that experienced to say for definate :P
[Wildfire Android Development] bassmonkey:
Ah ****. I'm no expert but I'd do what Jacob suggested, he knows his **** n as far as warranty goes apparently they can tell if its been rooted anyway. I guess u could run unrevoked again n hope.. alternatively if u have insurance that covers it I guess u could 'lose' it
[Wildfire Android Development] GuestK00293:
When you see that triangle, press the power button and that takes you to recovery.
[Wildfire Android Development] powser:
nothing, blocked, I can only remove the battery
[Wildfire Android Development] powser:
if I'll put RUU_Buzz_H3G_ITA_1.16.772.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.3

1_release_131171_signed.exe I will be able to upload my wildfire to 2.2 by ota?
[Samsung Mesmerize] RyanRH:
I just picked up the Mesmerize for US Cellular..

And sometimes when I receive a picture message, the picture shows up in the text bubble. But more often than not, it shows up as a "Download" button in the text bubble, but when I click the Download button, nothing happens. It says that it's downloading..but it never downloads.

What's the issue here?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I've heard others having the same problem found that if the pic comes with text that it comes through. I haven't run stock OS for a while and I've only had that problem with dependencies removed from the ROM.
[Samsung Mesmerize] RyanRH:
Well, it turns out that a battery pull solved my problem.

Figures that something that simple would cure it.. :mad:
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] xotspot.com:
Swype is one of the best and most popular keyboard options for Android, available on Galaxy S. Given the fact Nexus S is based on the Galaxy S would Swype be available on that device as well? Still no info here beta*swype*com
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] cu_ninja:
I'm curious about this as well. But I'm thinking not. Does anyone know?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Superfrag:
No, it won't have Swype. The hardware is Samsung, but the software is all Google. You'll have to get into the beta or get the .apk file somehow.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] rashad1:
I had it on my Vibrant, but I'm still signed up to Beta from my Nexus One days...I prefered the Samsung Swype skin though.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] OrganizedFellow:
Maybe some Samsung Devs will pack & sign a APK file for you guys!?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tks989:
never tried swype but i'd like it on the NS
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] stealthx32:
Swype was good when it first came out. It's gotten progressively more inaccurate somehow. i.e. pretty standard words are left out of the dictionary, and accuracy for me is way worse than when I was running 2.1 Eclair (stock JFD firmware on my Vibrant).

SWYPE

Tried to install two types of swype hvga and wvga and no luck DARN!:(

EDIT

WVGA WORKS YAY

Installed via Android Commander
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] CaliLove310:
Anyone that is in the beta program can install the official one. I just installed it on mine and it's working perfectly.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
+1 for official Swype.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mingkee:
Swype should go commercial now.

I would pay up to $10 to have it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] OrganizedFellow:
Unfortunately, they never will, as it's not part of their business model.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] coolairG1:
I got Swype working. I downloaded it to my Dropbox and installed using Astro File Manager. Thanks.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] b84cops:
i'm fairly new to android, so please disregard my ignorance.

i was able to get swype installed, but how do i set it up so that it works?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] drexman8244:
Its Cool

its okay man i was "that guy" once

on the home screen press menu touch settings, then scroll down to language and keyboard. Check the swype box.

now go back to your homescreen and hit the search button and longpress on the text box. Touch input method then swype....Ta-da

enjoy
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] b84cops:
perfect! i had it set up in the settings, just didnt change it on the homescreen!

Thanks!!!!

Bump.. It would be really awsome if we could have the samsung swype.. Anybody knows what it takes to port ?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Anderdroid:
*hint* someone posted an apk called SAIDKEYBOARD.apk in a topic called Swype in the Themes & App Section.

But don't take my word for it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ztm.000:
I had signed up for the beta previous to the Nexus S. I got the email for it like a week ago. Downloaded everything legitimately and its awesome.Seriously the past betas have been so buggy, this version blows it out of the water. Its amazing. Using it now...

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Joshfu13:
Yeah I got in ont the beta when I had my nexus one. Just installed it on my Nexus S and it works amazingly well. The Nexus S's superior multitouch screen really makes the experience superior to what it was on the N1.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Bmerz:
Thx for bringing this thread back up, it reminded me to go and signup with Swype for when they open beta again. :D This KB that comes with the NS is ok, but I really prefer Swype - which I had on the Epic.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] navahoo:
if i´m already invited to swype beta for my n1,

will the installation also work on the nexus s?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Superfrag:
Yes, without any issues.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] madfarmer:
Finaly found a swype version with danish only version 2.4.44 but it does the job and looks excactly the same as sgs swype
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] willyalmanzar:
How can i get swype on my nexus s?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] going_home:
I just tried to install Swype on my new toy, the Nexus S.

Got the error message: "This device is already associated with another account. Please visit the 'Troubleshooting' section at forum.swype.com for help"

Apparently you can only load Swype twice now since the last update email was sent out and I did that on my Nexus One.

I've had to uninstall and reinstall Swype every time theres an Android update,

and now this.

Frustrating.

willyalmanzar you have to first sign up for the beta program here:

http://beta.swype.com , and then you will be invited to download it thru email.

It may take a few months for the invite to come.

Or you can buy a phone that came with it factory installed.

On T-Mobile the G2 and the MyTouch 4G have it factory installed.

:o

Did you install the Swype installer? You can't just install the Swype apk.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
Remember guys, Mods do not approve of people posting the .apk :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] going_home:
Yes.

Been trying to download Swype for a few hours now.

The installer is in the apps on the phone.

It lets me log in but wont finish the download.

I have yet to get more than two bars on a wifi connection,

and its mostly always just one bar no matter what connection.

It keeps saying its having trouble parsing the file.

:(

As someone mentioned i can not post apk. But it is possible to find with google..
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] drexman8244:

They closed my thread which had the apk file in there. But if you pm your email ill send it to you. Also its included in my nandroid back up found here

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Mokurex:
They closed it because it's illegal to distribute the software, and you're still posting this? I'm sure the mods didn't close your thread because they wanted you to post here. Have some respects for the rules. If you insist on doing it, do it somewhere else.

If I'm a mod, i would so ban you right now for repeated offense.

Works great, not a fan of it, I love the stock gingerbread keyboard... best Android keyboard ever... still great to have.

hmm it's not working for me. i downloaded, installed, and checked swype in the keyboard settings. the android keyboard pops up for email, handcent, internet. any solutions?

nvm got it to work!

Update broke Swype?

Apparently my phone has not been receiving any calls or texts today (people did send them, though). I got an update just now and after I got all the text messages at once.

However, now Swype doesn't work. I'm using the official beta apk from the beta website (I'm registered). The problem is that anytime I try to swype a word a blue outline around the keyboard flashes and no word shows up. I can type individual letters, but the swype keyboard is terrible for that.

Anyone know how to fix or whats up?

Edit: Even watching the tutorial it has the same problem, and the tutorial itself can't continue. I guess I will uninstall and try again.

More edit: Can't login at the installer, says data network error. Strange everything data seems to be working on my phone.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
every update requires a reinstall /restart of swype
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zeiroe:
uninstall the swype application and reinstall through the swype installer
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
alternatively you can use titanium if you are rooted
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] exoplasm:
Wow you guys replied fast. I'm trying to reinstall but when it asks to login it says "The data network experienced a problem. Please try again."
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] furlonium:
Same here. All the Admins at Swype's website say is that it's not on their end, it's your phone/provider's problem. I tried it over Wi-Fi too.

How nice.

Nexus S and never had Swype installed on it yet. Grr.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] exoplasm:
Just thought I would update. It turned out I was using the wrong email address to login. I have one that i applied for beta, and one that got accepted separately. Kinda weird, but that was the login issue for me.

Swype not working after 2.3.2 update

Hello,

My swype stopped working after the 2.3.2 update. I tried the commonly suggested remedies, i.e. - uninstall, restart, reinstall, but did not help. Any ideas? Thanks!
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kenvan19:
What exactly is not working? Are you getting an error during install out the blue border flash?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
First go to the text input box in the search or where ever and long press it to select input method and select Swype. Then if that doesn't work uninstall it and run the installer again. Once installed you need to go back and select it in the text input box again. This worked for me.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] slowz3r:
after every update swype breaks, remember its still in beta, so ya uninstall, restart and then install from the installer
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Mr.Clark:
I had to uninstall Swype, then the installer, then download the latest installer, then the 2.5Mb Swype proper.

Working now though :D

The public beta might still be open: http://beta.swype.com/

There's plenty of copies of it floating around various sites if you want to go that path. Shouldn't be too hard to find the apk to install it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
just a reminder, SWYPE is not allowed to be distributed in XDA for devices that did not originally came with SWYPE Impaler edit: even then, it must be in a rom per the new swype rules, not a standalone apk ;)

Moved to Q&A
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sjtscott:
Swype beta is still running just signed up yesterday for it on my Nexus S. Very impressed by it so far.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Teknojunkee:
I have also been using Swype for a while now and it has completely taken over my regular keyboard usage.

The only 2 problems I have is that there are a few words that are impossible to spell using swype and the auto-word function.

Also for some odd reason, every week like clockwork, I have to re-install the software.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Partyka:
Yep, same here. At some point it will continue to work as a regular keyboard but the swyping no longer functions. Stopping the application, just makes the Nexus default to the gingerbread keyboard. Once it does that they only way i can get it working again is to reinstall. Other than that, very impressed with all the shortcuts and speed with which you can put together messages with.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Teknojunkee:
Yes! Exactly. I am sure it will get worked out at some point. I used the stock keyboard for a few days and could not stand it. I love my Swype.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] aidanpower:
That happens to mine occasionally, but I can fix it by switching back to the Android keyboard and then back to Swype (long press the text field, hit input method).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] leerobson99:
I had to reinstall after 2.3.2 but apart from that, no issues, awesome app.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DJTaurus:
Supports all the languages?.....greek...?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
The open beta supports English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, and French dictionaries. It also ostensibly has test support for Pinyin, but in all cases the keyboard itself remains the same (English QWERTY).
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] turboblaz:
But u can create or dowload languange?

I want swype in my languange wich is Slovenian.can someone do this I'll be very happy ;))
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
It doesn't support add-ons now. I suppose you could hack in another language. I have no idea how that would work, but I imagine you'd basically have to integrate a Slovenian dictionary file into the software.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] AtomicPC:
I've had Swype ever since I've had my phone and I love it. I have had a crap out on me quite a few times. Usually a long press and switch to Android Keyboard then long press and back to Swype fixes it. A couple of times I had to go into the settings menu and disable Swype then go back and enable it. Only after the 2.3.2 update did I have to uninstall and reinstall it.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] DJTaurus:
Swype (with lots of languages)

Why someone to register on the online swype beta when you can easily install the below apk.

(just search in google Swype_1.60.36.8214 WVGA : install first link in the results)

Languages Supported
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
Because doing so is piracy, and illegal. >.>
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] tommyz2kool:
I'm really not feeling swype on my NS. On my N1 it was great. The bigger screen slows me down just enough that it doesnt feel right.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
I've only ever used it on a four-inch screen. It works really well for me, but it sucks in landscape mode. Actually, that should be a feature in Android. The ability to switch keyboards when changing from portrait to landscape and vice-versa, I mean.

I'd use a swipe keyboard in portrait and a thumb keyboard in landscape.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] chrisharmful:
Root and install Keyboard Manager. You can find it it the Android apps forum. Works pretty good actually.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] kaimyn:
beta open

I just went to the website and it turns out the beta is open again (don't know if I'm just slow on the uptake and it's been open for ages).

In any case, I just signed up and it's now loaded on my phone.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] zorak950:
May do that eventually. Still holding off on rooting for the moment.
