can be loaded onto any rom.
Be careful. If I'm not mistaken xda treats posting swype as warez since it is licensed software. Not sure how this works since the G2 is licensed to have swype. I would like to have swype on the sense Rom as well...
I want swype on betterkeyboard. Give me the best of both worlds.
Believe it or not, that's one of the main reasons I don't want to fully switch to Sense. I'm absolutely loving Swype.

I've been on sense since evil dropped his flashable .zip. so far its amazing, but losing swype and battery drains are bothering me. Can't wait till 6.1!! Hopefully rc1 comes out this week.
Is Sense incompatible with Swype? If I loaded the Sense ROM, can I drop the Swype apk that came with the G2 originally back on top of it? It was one of the first things I dumped when perm root was released, knowing I'd want it on other ROMs.

I have been trying to get it to work, but it just force closes. The g2 is licensed to have swype, but apparently the DZ is not. I was able to load a working version found online, but once opened it says trial has ended please upgrade...

I actually have a working version of swype that will work on Sense. Well it worked on my Nexus Ones Sense.
I know the rules are pretty strict here regarding giving out the APK but come on people our devices are licensed with it so we already basically bought a copy of the software when we bought the phone >.>
Swype is not allowed to be posted onto XDA.....if you need to re-install it sign up on their site for the installer.

My friend broke her G1 and got the Slide to replace it, she doesn't like the texting application. I'm sure theres a way to get rid of that or just preferably install stock android on the thing. I don't yet have any experience with Android (I will be getting the Droid X in a week) so I would love a bit of hand holding here.
As far as I understand it would would involve rooting the device and then installing a rom of normal android? Is this correct?
I would love if someone could actually walk me through the process or any tips, keep me in mind that once I do this for her she needs to be able to just use it forever after that. I don't wanna flash her phone and it ends up crashing a week late or something.
So can I be pointed in the right directions?
You would have to Root the Phone to Remove Built in Apps. BUT, Since this IS Android you are not bound to use the Default Messaging App. You can download some very good and Feature Rich Messaging apps from the Market. 2 Free ones that come to mind are Handcent (which I used to use before I got my Slide) and ChompSMS. You just have to uncheck the Recieved Notification box in the HTC one and you should be ok from there.
Before going through the trouble of rooting, has she tried any of the available messaging apps from the market yet?

Yea, per your suggestions I told her to just try installing another to see if she likes it.
I want to root my slide, and flash cyanogen but before I do I would like to know what are some flaws in this rom one that I know its that the BT doesn't work, what are some other known major issues??
P.s: Does the Cyanogen rom still have the balck themed swype, or swype at all? Thank you for yalls time and answers.

Swype isn't free anymore. The black themed one was on stock. I've been theming the latest Swype but pushing it off until after my FE exam.
I haven't encountered any problems at all with this one.

I have googled "swype.sdk" enough times to tell you that there's no easy way to get it without getting a trial version that eventually expires. They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, but I'm waiting for that glorious day when Swype releases an apk on the market for everyone.
As for the issues with CM 6.1, I've been running it for about a week. The only issue I've heard about is that some people experience lower than average call volume or lower than average volume on Skype.
The only issue I've had is the Market and set-up is a little buggy/laggy if you're on Wi-fi only (as in, no cell phone service). Otherwise, it seems to be a very solid and fast Rom, and I highly recommend it.

You might try swype.apk not sdk. I don't think swype has a software development kit (sdk) because it's an app not an os or operating platform. Just google swype.apk and you'll find it.
Just a bit of a warning - Do Not Post It On XDA. The reason it's not included in Cyanogenmod ROMs is the same reason you can't post the swype.apk on XDA.

Gah, I meant .apk. It was like 8 or 9am when I posted that and my brain doesn't work at that time in the morning. When the market was messing up on my wi-fi connection, I was getting apks online for stuff like Facebook and ChompSMS, so I should've known better than to put sdk.
I know you can't post it on any forums because it's a licensed product and posting links to it (or just posting it as an attachment) is considered piracy or something similar. That's probably why it's so hard to find a non-trial version. Most of the results you get from googling "swype.apk" are links to forums that used to have links to where you could download it, but the links have been removed on all of the forums (they should've just erased the threads so they'd stop showing up on Google altogether).
Personally, I'm just going to suck it up and get a trial. Better to have it for a month then not at all.

I tried, but it's not showing up that I've sent any message. You can e-mail it to me straight through the "email user" thing, I know mine is up to date with the e-mail I'm using.
As for if you're allowed to post what you posted, well I mean Swype only deals with OEMs and our phone came with it. So, in reality, you're only helping me re-install a program my phone originally came with and accidentally got "lost" somewhere ...it's totally justified.
Also, another issue I've found with CM's 6.1 is that for no reason at all my screen randomly dims. It happens maybe once or twice a day on average (some days it doesn't happen, sometimes it happens a few times). No biggie, settings>display>brightness clears that up no problem.

Yeah I have that issue too, usually when the screen is about to time out and go black. If I touch it, the screen doesn't get brighter. I just have the power widget set up so I just have to tap the brightness to do the same thing.
Or, you guys can go on 4shared, search swype hvga, download, and install.

The new Dell's Stage UI is anyone going to port this for our desires ?
It's a bit early to say just yet, I've had a swing by the EVO Forums, it's still rough there, have to change the LCD density to get it working apparently.
There's a thread for it in the EVO Forums, where it's been seen working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830656
I've tried to search for dell stage in both the Dev forum and the Themes and Apps forum, s'all I got ha ha!
There is THIS though at good and evo http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/11/unreleased-dell-stage-ui-running-on-htc-evo.html
You could always try it out for yourself, I've no real interest in it myself, basically just Sense but looks worse, the app drawer is KILLER though, needs to be in LauncherPRO IMO
Ahh right, I'll have to keep my eyes open I don't even like dells products so don't know why I want to try their ui haha.

Wow that actually seems to work quite well. I'm surprised it's as easy as installing a few apks Not quite like porting Sense to the Nexus One (different kernel, dependencies etc.) lol..
Its really nice tbh. Also surprised its only apks and not flashing a zip. But it worked well on Defrost 6.0

Is there a better swype keyboard that we can install?? for example remove the one that came with the 3.70 software and install a better looking version or the white version i see on moto devices??

You can use the Swype installed on your device or the beta version, they should both work fine. You would probably want to remove the Sprint Swype first before installing the beta. I went back to the beta initially as it wasn't included in my ROM choice, but ended up figuring out how to use the Sprint Swype and jumped back to that. I believe they both work about the same in my experience. If its just theming you are after, I recommend checking here. It themes the keyboard picture and the trace line, and in my opinion looks a lot sharper than the Sprint or Beta Swype. You have to be comfortable with root and metamorph however.

Is there an online version of the kitchen? I ask because it is the last resort to get a fully functional Rom on my evo before I allow my daughter to have it other than using my nandroid of my original and unrooting.
I use a 64-bit system Windows 7. Done research and it says a 32-bit Java will work but that is false. I have spent from 9am until an hour ago (3:30pm here now) formating my hard-drive and reinstalled my OS because it didn't work. Still the kitchen doesn't find Java although I tried to instal a 32-bit version. Online is the only way I can do anything or I need a step-by-step on what I need to do to an apk where I can do it on my phone or I am in need of someone building a Rom. So.....is there one online?
What are you doing? Making a fully functional ROM? Why not take a stock rooted or a working GB ROM like reloaded?
Yea just get a stock 5.07 rooted rom. Not really sure what you're trying to do

I am letting my daughter have my Evo. She has been hardcore blackBerry but given their status she is wanting to try Android. I have flashed every Rom on the first 10 pages of Development and what she has settled on as far as wanting most is Energy Rom. There are 3 problems stopping her from being totally happy with it. First is the 9016. After a lot of searching all I can find is it is tied to the Phone.apk. I have been unsuccessful at changing it out. The carousel shows only a grey screen when looking in Personalize but have been unsuccessful at getting the one from Mik3D installed and working since I know the one from that Rom works. The browser not going to mobile view and being to wide unless in landscape has been the only thing I have fixed. i used Root Explorer and deleted it and moved a basic stock in. Somehow it worked although the other things haven't. I had decided to try my hand at the kitchen to see if I could make the changes that way but it doesn't work on my PC regardless of what i try and believe me when I say I have taken extreme measures to make it work. So my hopes are that either someone can point me in the right direction on how to exchange an apk using only what tools I can find for my phone or in the direction of a kitchen online. For my phone I have installed: Root Explorer,File Manager and ZipSign2.

She's that picky? Tell her to get an iPhone. LOL
Even she is smart enough to know the first flip phone I ever purchased from Sprint way back when they finally got small enough to fit in your pocket is still better than the best Apple ever released.
However,with a little help I think I can make my life easier. I flashed Derp3D again and only 2 small things needed. First is the keyboard. How do I get the HTC back on and with dictionary? Last is how do I get the weather widget with sound? Those are the only things needed. Themes will be easy enough to handle.
Have you tried MikG v3.11 ? Uber Stable. Has a lot of Themes, and Mods available.

The kitchen won't help you for fixing the things you want to fix )besides the fact that there isn't an online version). The kitchen just essentially makes it easier to do the things you're already doing. But EnergyROm is a Sense 3.5 ROM, which is not what the EVO natively comes with. So, there will ALWAYS be issues with it, like the VVM 9016 texts, no 4G, etc. And trying to swap things in from a Sense 3.0 ROM (Mik3D) will only cause more issues. I think you're going to have to "put your foot down" and let your daughter know she can either have a fully functional ROM that doesn't look exactly as she wants, or she can have the eye candy she wants without full functionality.
There are plenty of fully functional ROMs out there with a Sprint base that don't have the 9016 issue. Honestly, those all seem to be extremely minor issues to me. Sounds like you should just bite the bullet and get her an EVO LTE, lol.
I have seen a lot of good reviews of Kendall's ROM, though. But I'm going to assume that's not what your daughter is looking for. Sounds like she likes the look/widgets of Sense.
I remember back in the day I tried a sense 3.0 rom that didn't do the 9016 or whatever, but I don't see how that bugs her. Its just a text message that would only take 2 seconds to delete. When I ran those roms, it wasn't a big deal to me.
With the sense weather part, still didn't have a problem with that either. Just had to turn sound up.
