Is it possible to get the stock swype on custom rom? - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed to the Cyanogen Nightly 151 rom and I have a swype.apk, but it's different from the one I used to have, looks different and feels a bit different.
Is there any way to get the stock swype back?

The Swype from the slide reads some lines from the prop, but the "official" one will work on any rom. I'm not sure if you are actually referring to the Slide's version of swype.

Is it possible to get Stock Android contacts and browser on Sense??

Sorry if this has been asked, pretty sure it has. But, I took the apk's of contacts and browser from latest CM6 nightly and tried to install them on BurntDroid rom. Didn't work. Was wondering if its possible to get them to install on any Sense rom? Or if someone has made/working on a mod to get it to work. I know there is dialer one, but I'd rather have stock.

Stock T-Mobile keyboard request...

I'm not sure where to post, so I assume this is the right place.
I need help? I need the stock T-Mobile keyboard apk. I'm not sure if that's possible.
I flashed this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965035 in order to get a stock debloated ROM and everything is working perfect, except the keyboard is different and is so cumbersome to use compared to the stock one.
This is the one I have now.

And this is the one from my wife's stock T-Mobile:

I want the later one and my phone will be perfect.
Any help will be appreciated.

Are you married to that ROM? Have you given one of the Jedi ROM's a try? They are pretty debloated and hellaciously fast. And we complained about the keyboard enough that he extracted the second keyboard you listed and put it in his updates. PLUS, Multi-Window works on it.
Cant help with the keyboard, but use the "other" stock rooted rom here. Teshxx has a rooted rom full of bloat that uses the good jeyboard. Just debloat manually with Titanium Backup.
But, this is still a very valid request. The international keyboard sucks compared to Tmo (never thought I'd make that claim about anything), so it'd still be nice to figure out how to swap keyboards effectively. I know some folks were having problems with it over in the Jedi thread.

Thanks for all the replies. I just used my stock rom and debloated with Titanium Backup and made a CWM backup before installing any apps. ROM is perfect now.

[SOLVED] Sprint galaxy s3 gets stuck at boot unless using stock Rom

So I've done some searching in the forum (on phone) and wondered if anyone else is having an issue flashing roms other than stock rooted.
I've tried all kinds of other roms cm, miui, liquid smooth, et cetera, and they all get stuck at boot. This is a new thing because I've run all these roms in the past.
I'm on moar 6.1 and it's a great Rom, but I'd like the option to change roms at some point...
You are naming AOSP roms. If you have a newest S3, please try with an updated version. Start with SlimBean build 2( exactly that one) because it's confirmed to work with newest models.

Dude....it wasn't the ROM's fault at all, nor the phone's....it was the loose nut behind the wheel....me.
I forgot (have been forgetting) to format data. For whatever reason, I was manually formatting just the minimums. DANGIT! Works like a charm now...or rather I'm working like a charm now.
Thanks anyway.

It's simply the latest one - i recently flashed back to stock because of an warranty-issue, and i found it hard to find out which of those dozens of circulating ROMs was the newest one.
Sure nothing major has changed compares to the out-of-the-box-rom, but i guess most people that go back to stock / need to go back like to choose the newest one.

I found 4.0 to be much more fluid, performant and appealing than the Stock-ROM, while the versions 4.1 and above seemed to have lost a noticable piece of agility and responsivness compared to 4.0.
I guess that 4.0 performs really great, only drawback for normal users is the camera, which is still a little bit buggy and sometimes does not work, due to the driver model issues :-/.

Does any of you guys use the VPN function? Can anyone confirm that it works on stock rom? I flashed my phone as soon as I got it and never tried the vpn with 2.3.6, but tried with 4.0, 4.1.2, and 4.2.1 and it doesn't work well in this versions.

I'm using this one too before even if it doesn't for my region and nothing really is significant, just some ICS features.
8150XXLM8 or Value Pack stock firmware (update via Samsung Kies) is being rolled-out only in Romania and Slovakia. Made for devices that can’t be upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, this Value Pack includes some ICS-specific features, like Face Unlock, the ability to change font size (in Contacts, Calendar, or Messaging), and the ability to take photos while shooting video.

The provided ROM is the latest one at least in Germany.
I do not know how the rollout for the value pack was made for other european countries, but e.g. in Germany the value pack was alreasy delivered with a previous update.

[Q] Flash EVO 4G back to stock ROM

Does anyone have a working link to a stock EVO 4G stock ROM that can then be used to update to the latest stock ROM+radios+whatever? I've been searching around here and the Internet in general, but I'm having trouble wading through the sea of dead links to stock ROMs and links to ROMs that have been hacked to remove radios and whatnot.
I've been using the last good Evervolv JB ROM and it's just too unstable, and my radios and stuff are probably out of date too, so I'd like to try going back to stock for a while.
Note regarding root: It would be nice to be able to keep root, but not if it means having to use stock ROMs that have been modified to the point where it will be a pain to update to the latest stock ROM+radios+whatever. I can always re-unroot myself if needed.
Thanks!

I'm looking for the exact same thing... I'd like to go back to the stock HTC Sense ROM, but I've lost my old backup copy (long story) and having trouble finding a suitable replacement. Did you happen to save a backup of your stock ROM before switching to the Evervolv ROM? If so, could you send me the Zip?
Or, if anyone out there on the forum could help, that would be great.
I was hoping to get some benefit to a more recent version of Android, but all the ROM's I've tried thus far seem to have one glitch after another. I'd prefer to go back to a stock, or some slightly upgraded version of the SENSE IU. Any suggestions appreciated.
I downloaded this ROM as it looked like a good "SENSE-esque" ROM, and looks like most everything is working on this version.
http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?12344-ROM-5-09-12-New!!The-Express!!-Updated!!-Working4G!!-Full-Landscape-Sense-3-0-Aroma-Installer!!&p=203943#post203943
Thoughts?
I don't have a backup of my stock ROM as far as I know.
I really wanted something close to stock, so I think I ended up settling on [Rom]TN_Elousions3.2_OTA_5.07.651.6_Deoxed_Stock_Theme.zip which is a moderate mod of the last stock ROM.
I ended up going through the S-OFF process as well to make sure that I had the latest radios and such.
It's functional, but between the Sense changes and the fact that it's Gingerbread-based means that there are some things about the UI that just aren't as nice as Evervolv. The upshot is that the battery consumption is lower and the hardware features work or work better (4G, FFC, camcorder, FM radio, etc.).
I'm tempted to try one of the last official Cyanogen ROMs just to see if I like the UI better than Sense, but I'll probably just stick it out until I get a new phone.
