You don't need a zip file to flash. It is already on your device. You only need to remove the HtcLockScreen.apk and the 2.2 vanilla lockscreen will be shown. This has the vibration when unlocked.
I believe you can simply remove using root explorer
OR ADB:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
adb reboot
OR TERMINAL EMULATOR:
su
cd /system/app/
mount -o remount,rw /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
reboot
DONE AND DONE!
This guaranteed WORKS

What Rom are u running? I extract Calkukin's EViO ROM with 7zip, drop the framework files from Fresh, zip it back up, flash and voila, vanilla with vibration...(calkukin has a vibrationless vanilla lock)
If your problem is as previously mentioned, then yes, you need to delete HTC lockscreen. Check Calkukins EViO thread for a flashable zip to remove it.

It doesnt have vibration on it still.

[Q] Swype and Cyanogen

So I've got the Cyanogen 6.1
My swype expired, will they have the new Swype in Cyanogen 7?
I know people can't post their beta's here anymore, I'm just trying to figure out how I'm supposed to buy/get it?

Cyanogen usually wont include things like swype or even google apps to avoid lawsuits. But newest stock sense 3.70 for evo's come with newest swype free

If it isn't open source, it won't/can't be included. Swype is not open source, and its developers have not made it available via an open source type license such as the GPL.
As such it will probably never be included in Cyanogen Mod releases. Too bad, I think it is a kick-ass keyboard!
I don't blame cyanogen either.

If you find the apk for swype online (say...Google?) you could install it just like an application

I assume this is kosher as I am not providing the files, only explaining how to get them from the resources publicly available on this board.
The way I did it was to use unyaffs to pull Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so out of the system.img file of the latest stock ROM. After getting the files I used the below to put them into the /system/app and /system/lib directories.
First I installed cygwin with only the default tools, then downloaded unyaffs compiled for windows. Copy unyaffs into the path for cygwin.
Grab the system.img file out of the 3.70 stock rom and place it in a folder easily accessible to your cygwin installation.
Start Cygwin and cd to the directory with the system.img file and run;
Code:
unyaffs system.img
This will extract all the files from the img file. Copy the Swype.apk from the app folder and the libSwypeCore.so from the lib folder to someplace easily accessible to adb.
Then I opened an adb shell session and mounted the /system as rw;
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
Then I pushed the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so to the correct directories;
Code:
adb push ./Swype.apk /system/app/Swype.apk
adb push ./libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
On my system it set the permissions as -rw-rw-rw for some reason so I chmoded that to -rw-r--r-- synced the filesystem and rebooted. From the adb shell again;
Code:
chmod 644 /system/app/Swype.apk
chmod 644 /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
sync
reboot
I am not sure if I needed to chmod the files, but I wanted to make sure they looked the same as the others in the directories. Hope that helps. Also, this method worked for Myn's RLS4 as well.

Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO

If you're in the Swype beta and try to install the beta on CyanogenMod or any other EVO ROM, you get the "Swype is now available in the latest OTA!" error. I've nagged Swype about it and Neatchee from Swype responded.
In the meantime, here's a dirty little hack to get the Installer to run:
Run the following commands from your Android SDK/platform-tools folder in the Command Prompt:
Code:
adb shell
su (only if you see a $ instead of a #)
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.BAK
exit
exit (only if you had to run "su" just above)
adb pull /system/build.prop
open the build.prop in a text editor like nano, Notepad++, Notepad, or gedit, and change
Code:
ro.product.model=PC36100
to
Code:
ro.product.model=PC36101
Run
Code:
adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
adb reboot
and wait for your phone to restart. Run the Installer, and afterwards, run these commands:
Code:
adb shell
su (only if you see a $ instead of a #)
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/build.prop.BAK /system/build.prop
exit
exit (only if you had to run "su" just above)
adb reboot
Enjoy!

Either follow the direction up top or reFlash your phone to original rom.
Asking for an app through PM constitutes a ban just as if you posted the apk in a post.
Warning issued.

Haha, are you the damn internet police, stop making **** up. no where did he ask for anything, all he said was pm me. An actually since swype is officially on the evo, I don't think its in violation posting it in the evo forum though I may be wrong.

as far xda is concerned it is still against the rules, there was a forum post about it when swype came to the evo, its allowed to be included in sense based roms, but not on its own

You can get on the beta, but it wont install on the EVO without the trick posted above because it says that the platform is officially supported now and wont install.

Thanks Slim! I'm just reading this BS too bout how I made an infraction for asking the OP to PM me. I wasn't gonna post it on the forum publicly, which I know is an infraction for doing. It shouldn't even matter what is done behind the scene of PM's between users. Some of these mods on here let their title go straight to their head!

That's odd. I just flashed my phone a short time back and Swype installed. I'm running CM 6.1.1. I'm not sure what day it was. When did this change happen?

Friday or Saturday is when I noticed it.

Boy, that will keep me from flashing.

It is really easy to get Swype back. Takes all of maybe 5 minutes if you already have a nandroid backup, and that includes downloading the files needed to do it and copying the system.img off the phone.
Follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890508 and then mount the system in rw, push the files, reboot.

Swype?

Can someone point me in the direction to a link for Swype? I'm running CM7 GB6

Just sign up for the beta, it's open right now.

I already had swype installed on mine...look in the language and keyboard settings to see if its installed.

Swype is in beta? Weird...

i believe it was released in version 2.2, froyo

yeah I just went to www.swype.com and signed up for the beta. I had swype on CM7+4G in about 5 mins or so.

take the apk and so from the zip of your sense rom and place them in your android tools folder then reboot to recovery and mount /system using adb do the following
Code:
adb push Swype.apk /system/app/
adb push libSwypeCore.so /system/lib/
you might be able to use root explorer but idk ,never tried

Alrighty, thanks. Actually, on second thought. Do I have to have the ROM installed or can I just bring it from the zip file?
On third thought, I got it to work.

You can just extract the apk from the zip, then push it via adb.

Swype Keyboard Issue

Well I was wondering if there was a way to get the original Swype Keyboard on a MIUI ROM. My friend told me about flashing it but I dont know how and where to get the file for it. Please help me, the Swype Keyboard BETA has issues and I want the original keyboard. Please post links..

If you got a nand back up you can use swype restorer
Or get one of the stock roms un zip it and take out the swype.apk and libswypecore.so and push them into the phone

I'll make it easy for ya:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /sdcard/Swype.apk /system/app \\NOTE: use "cp" instead of "mv" if you want to keep the file on your sdcard as a backup for future use or whatever
chmod 644 /system/app/Swype.apk
mv /sdcard/libSwypeCore.so /system/lib \\NOTE: use "cp" instead of "mv" if you want to keep the file on your sdcard as a backup for future use or whatever
chmod 644 /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
reboot

after your reboot, go to your language&keyboard settings, Swype should be available now.
EDIT: cleanup

download attached files and push them to /sdcard/
(NOTE: before you move the libSwypeCore.so.zip, rename it to just libSwypeCore.so - I had to add .zip to be able to attach it here)
then run the following commands from ADB (or terminal emulator, you just don't need the adb shell command in that case):

before moving libSwypeCore.so.zip from your PC to your phone, did you remove the .zip? sounds like it still thinks it's a zip to me.

how do I do that when it wont let me open the zip folder?

EDIT: cleanup

Thanks alot! It worked!! ;P

But the thing is that this Swype wont work! Everytime I swype a word a blue box flashes around it! Please help with this issue too!

did you reboot?
if so and it's still doing it, try clearing Swype data and rebooting again. if you're still having issues after that, let me know and I'll find a different apk for you to try.

yo im all for help and all but your really not allowed to distribute swype, its in the form rules, even if the phone had it, you would have to get it from your own phone, or as said get it from a stock rom,

Thanks for this post. My question no longer really has anything to do with Swype. Now its personal!! lol
When I copy and paste the
mount -o rw,remount /system​
command, it comes up showing the options for mount instead of executing the command. Is there by chance a syntax error in the typing or am I missing something?
Thanks

look in the market there is a app called remount you can use that to mount the system to read or read/write

Thank you!!!

Strange. Tried Remount app, no dice. Tried mount command, yet it still gives me a cross-link error when I try to run the "mv" command. I read that this error is due to the fact that it isn't mounted properly (I'm a complete noob at this stuff). The thing that puzzles me is I type
mount -o rw,remount /system and it always comes back with
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
which leads me to think there's some kind of syntax error.
It's to the point now that I just want to know why it isn't working as described in the post.

ok try this
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Thanks for the advice. I used the command you posted and it allowed me r/w access. But (there always seems to be a but...) when I tried to move files with the mv command I got a cross link error.
I ended up simply using the move function from root explorer (once I figured out what I was trying to do). Worked well.

Guess you didn't read the rules to well. If a custom rom is made for a device that has swype it can be included in rom
Just get swype from the website

That's if them rom itself came from the stock kernal, not from asop kernal, think why cyanogen doesn't include it in his roms? But we are allowed to bring it back from our back up that has it,

[request]stock LatinIME.apk (keyboard)

Im trying to get the stock keyboard back without having to do a factory reset. i was dumb enough not to back it up.
If anyone could upload it, i would really appreciated.
(/system/app/LatinIME.apk).
Used root explorer to push it to /system/apps
I actually had to install the apk afterwards to make it work.

Here it is.
And there is no stock maps with TouchNooter ...
