Syndicate Rom Crash and Question

I found I can get the whole phone to freeze with syndicate rom if I use this website. http://www.webmd.com/diet/calc-bmi-plus Trying to figure out BMI. If I enter the data and and spend at least 2 minutes on the site phone will lock on that screen can't get out must pull battery. Maybe this can help find the mysterious freezing.
Question
According to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12692031&highlight=buddies+apk#post12692031 Originally Posted by to141306 there is a special APK to get buddies now to work on syndicate frozen full version.

BuddiesNow works only on TouchWiz, not LauncherPro. TouchWiz is in Fully Loaded.
Freezes are solved by flashing the kernel in the second post, or VisionKernel. Use VisionKernel 1.1 for right now.

Yep
As previously stated I installed the full version, it has touchwiz it doesn't have buddies now. If it does I can't find it, tell me how to bring it up.

[Q] Swype not working on New CM7.1

Oddly, I cannot reinstall Swype how I used to. I have the lib file as well as the Swype.apk and I would usually push it through using ADB. It got pushed successfully and I could use Swype as a NORMAL keyboard but I cannot Swype. There is a blue box around the Swype keyboard after I try to swype. Ultimately, I get a message that says the Swype was installed for a device that is not the current device that I am trying to install it on. It worked just fine on all past CM7. I realize we're on 2.3.7 now but how come it doesn't work? What was the drastic change?

I'd also like to know why it's not working anymore. I followed the same procedure I always do to restore it after installing a new version of CM, but it's not letting me swipe words.

this exact same thing happened on g-lite yesterday to me had to restore to previous rom...weird!

Edit your /system/build.prop
Back to:
ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2
ro.product.brand=tmobile
reboot...profit...

that would have been helpful last night or this morning lol. Either way it was giving all kinds of weird problems and no amount of superwiping would fix the random reboots. I only flashed g-lite to overclock boo

How exactly do I edit that?

I use ES File Explorer... it's free in the Market. You just need to enable read/write in the Settings and you'll be ready to go. I edit mine in the way mentioned above after every ROM update. I like to use T-Mobile's My Account/My Device apps. Works perfectly. Reboot after you make the change.

Or you could just download the installer from sype beta and install swype. Pretty basic

Yeah, I was wondering why you folks don't just do that, instead of messing with ADB and editing system files.

would you be able to describe the steps in detail, the above descriptions are way to vague. Any help would be appreciated, I too have swype and it is not working properly. Thanks Greg

go to the swype beta site (make sure you uninstall all traces of swype) register and in your email you get a link for your phone...it will download an installer apk install that, start it up and it will download and install the latest swype....thats it.

Sweet it works

I contacted Swype about this issue.
They responded and said that Swype does not (and will not) support custom ROMs of any kind. Your best bet is the beta.
See: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers)
I'm surprised it worked on CM for as long as it did. What puzzles me, is in the statement above they say its ok for devs to include Swype in roms for phones that had Swype preinstalled (same version must be provided). I may contact Swype again based on that.

the old version of swype that i had, 1.64.x worked with cm7.0.3, but not with cm7.1.0. i downloaded the new version of swype, 3.25.x, and it works with cm7.1.0

Thanks, everyone! Took more steps than the old Swype Restore method for the RC.
My steps:
Uninstall Swype using Titanium Backup.
Download APK from Swype website (after signing up)
Install APK
Select OPEN button
Login to my Swype beta account
Enter account code (email)
Select all languages (because there was no English only option)
Open Android keyboard
Go to keyboard settings
Select Swype
Accept EULA

I got the Swype beta and hate it . I get more wrong words than the stock Swype. I've tried different settings still getting dumb words popping up.

Exactly why I prefer the stock Swype.

Swype Beta problem on G2?
I followed the steps above and it was working fine. Later I re-booted and now I get the
The application Swype (process.com.swype.android.inputmethod) has stopped unexpectedly

T-Mobile G2 running CM7.1
I have Swype Beta Ver 3.25.91.31127
I also noticed that (Menu->Settings->Applications) that Swype Installer V 1.5 is also installed
Any suggestions?

I found the answer over on the Swype Beta forums...
I would suggest using THIS method for uninstalling your old swype
Go to Settings -> Language & Keyboard and UNCHECK Swype.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Swype Press CLEAR DATA. Then press UNINSTALL.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> SwypeInstaller Press CLEAR DATA. Then press UNINSTALL. (won't have this- maybe Swype Restore?)
Delete everything from the download directory on your SDcard
Reboot your device.
Install the update latest version of Swype. (As detailed in an earlier post)
It seems the data from the old swype was causing a problem with the latest version.
Sounds like a good habit, because if you have any trouble they will want you to do
that anyway...

[REQ] Stock Swype APK

Hello everyone, I just got my wife the new SGS2 Epic 4G Touch, and I pushed the new Beta of Swype to it, and it won't work at all. I was wondering if someone could possibly provide me with the APK file for the stock version of it so that I can install that back onto her phone to make things right again. Thanks (and appropriate button hit) to anybody who can toss that file my way.

Here u go --> MOD EDIT: Link removed

Did you uninstall the app first using titaniumbackup or similar? That's what I have to do whenever flash new rom. Sometimes I need to even reboot after the uninstall, and before the install of new.

Nice! Great to have this!

If you install swype officially as outlined on the swype website you can get the updates OTA. Just make sure any previous version is removed beforehand.

Posting links to Swype is not allowed. If you need it, sign up for the beta program.

[Q] question

i just jump to the new era legendary rc 2.2. and would like to know if my phone is tripping or is it a known problem. I have titanium backup but my backup is not taking. i cant restore any apps.

Suggestion: include keywords from your question in the topic title, rather than the entirely generic "question". This way people have some idea of what you're getting at.
May I suggest "Titanium Backup not restoring apps"?

I didn't really understand that question, but I will assume ur asking how to update "super user". Go to the market, open market, tap on menu, tap on my apps, scroll down until u see super user, see if it has been updated. If it hasn't, tap on it to start update process. Then when its done, close out the market, go into ur apps, go to super user, tap on it, scroll down untill u see binary, u will binary version numbuer, and right underneath that, u will see it say binary again, tap on it. At the button it way say update. Go ahead and update it. Then try ur titanium again.

[HOWTO] Install Stock Android Keyboard

I know I'm not the only one pissed off at how subpar the Samsung keyboard is, and longs for the Stock Android Keyboard. With that said, I set out to try to find a way to get the keyboard installed properly.
I know in the Google Play Store, there is an APK for such, the problem with that, is it just isn't fully accurate. I got fed up with it today, and decided that I would try to give us a stock keyboard.
Here it goes. The LatinIME.apk file was extracted from the CM9 for the i9300
1) Make sure you are rooted
2) Download the zip file from http://jumbofiles.com/7vy8lykubdsc/LatinIME.zip.html If that link doesn't work try http://ul.to/hc0jc9vz
3) Extract to a folder on your desktop/location on your computer to be able to copy into your device.
4) Reboot your device into CWM
5) Once in CWM, go to "Mounts and Storage" and Click "Mount System"
6) Open up the command prompt, navigate to whatever folder you extracted the zip file to.
7) type in the following "adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app"
8) Reboot
9) .....
10) Profit! You now have it as a selectable option in your Keyboards!
This should be more accurate than the one in the Android Market, but I can't be sure, if anyone knows if there are certain dependancies needed to make it work even better, let me know, I'll add it in and give credit where credit is due.

This isnt in anyway development so it goes in general or themes and apps.... and u can also downlod ics keyboard from market
im on my phone. expect terrible typos.

Yea, that one has something wrong with the Autocorrect. I had the issue with it being off more on my GSII as well. I actually installed it side by side on my GSII with CM9 and typed a long text, exact same thing side by side fast as I usually do. It would omit corrections that should have been there. The CM9 keyboard itself didn't omit those corrections.

Well I can't move it. I do apologise for putting it in the wrong forum. I'm assuming you did also contact the mods to request it moved? I assume you had when you made the comment about how it was in the wrong forum.

I can't seem to get the file to download from that site, was going to see about installing it via root explorer.

I'm not going to argue about it, I reported my own post to the MOD's they can decide if it belongs here or not. Since it's modifying system files, my viewpoint was it belongs in development. My understanding for Themes/Apps would be addon's that don't modify the system. Considering people can actually bake in the Stock android keyboard to their ROM this could function in development, or it could function in Theme's/Apps. Arguing about it will get us nowhere.
