A new release of Swype has just been released. Does anybody know how we can get it updated on our Samsung Galaxy S?
Delete swype.apk from system/app and libSwypeCore.so from system/lib.
Reboot phone and install using the swype app

I believe he is talking about the swype installer. You can get it from official swype web site but you have to sign up for beta swype.

I'm Talking about the Swype you find pre-installed on the phone. It's not a third party app. I could not find the system directory on my phone. I wouldn't like to remove it and install it as third party app, I just want to update it. Using FROYO.RSJP5.
Krige, where did you get the idea that swype was updated now?
What I can see its 2 weeks ago and its the swype beta. Can you please give a link to the update or info about it?
I received an email from them, I've registered to their web site to install it on another phone. I can't find any info about it on their web site either.

So as I said. Its the BETA and not the preinstalled app. Also someone here up told you how to do it (racerboy3801). There is no other way how to update to the BETA from the preinstalled since they are different apps.
ALSO the BETA has not all languages .
ALSO I didnt find on their site or forums mentioning that it was updated just now. Its 2 weeks old.
However its 200 percent better as the preinstalled app .

I know its better.
The preinstalled app has many bugs and "features" that literally makes it unusable for many users. They fixed it in the beta as you can read the release notes or the changelog.
Anyway since it not so easy to switch from preinstalled to beta. Keep your preinstalled if you are ok with it

The only problem I have noticed is that often the second word in a sentence is capitalized while it shouldn't. As for the rest I haven't noticed any difference from the beta version installed on my other phone.

I'd rather use the best one available, so I'll try the beta. I still haven't found the "system/app" and "system/lib" racerboy3801 has told me about so I don't know how to proceed.
that bug you mentioned I dont have. Its not some feature ? Leaving the keyboard to capitalize the whole word?
And are you rooted and do you have a file manager that can access those directories ?
krige said:

I've been using the beta version for a while and prefer it over any preinstalled version.
If you flash a new rom or a theme,you have to remove the Swype key board,lib and installer and reboot before reinstalling the beta version.
Try it,to see if you like it.
Download Root Explorer,from market,go to system/app and delete Swype and installer,system/lib and delete Swype.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have the standard Samsung ROM. I don't know where to find those lib and installer.
You need some root file explorer. Dont think My Files will help you.
You wont find the installer since its preinstalled.
So get yourself some root file explorer. And go to the mentioned directories move the files somewhere safe. Reboot. And install the swype beta wiht the newest installer.
I think I used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836982 not sure post 5
Are the new versions time limited trial?
pramathesh said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, that could be a problem, I haven't thought about it. Swype stopped working on a friend's phone because his trial period expired.
Also, is it possible to revert to the preinstalled version if I won't be happy with the beta version?
Well do a backup before (titanium backup, the files, dont erase them , just move them) and also a nandroid backup would be even better.
The time limitation. I think I had it before on the hero. And I always was able to extend the period just by reinstalling.
Also a new rom for the SGS will have a new version of Swype. So if its even 2 months, if you flash like me , you will have already flashed 10 other roms
Anyway nandroid before, or atleast backup with titanium backup + dont erase the files just move them (not sure that will work).
I've installed it following the steps below:
Install "Titanium Backup" and "Super Manager";
Change to another keyboard;
Press the Backup/Restore tab at the top, scroll to Swype. Click on it;
Make a backup of Swype. Then Wipe Data and Delete it. It should be dimmed and marked out after deletion;
Using "Super Manager", cut \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so and paste it to a directory of your choice;
Reboot.
Download the new Swype Installer & Beta and install it;
Now using version 2.29.71.20203.t100
Does anyone knows if it's possible to add languages from the pre installed version which doesn't exist in the beta version?
Thx

anyone tried updating dere swype keyboard???
I've recently update to the newest version of the Swype Beta, it's pretty straight forward.
Just delete the one you have now, and follow the installation instructions on their website and you'll have no problems.

Hi,
Is there a way to unlock google navigation outside the US?
thanks
There isn't an official way. Google for some reason doesn't let navigation work in many countries (including Greece that I live in).
With every update there is a modded apk around that enables worldwide navigation. Don't have it atm.The only drawback is that you have to find the apk with every new version in play store so that you have the latest changes.

I really don't think so . If you read the op in my thread
Quote : "After a lawyer representing google contacted me on G+ and then later call me and we had a little talk ,we came to the conclusion that I'm not going to spread anymore modified maps . I'm not going get on the wrong side off Google .. And I'm considering closing the thread"
So sorry but I don't wanna get fryed by Google.
HOW TO UPDATE GOOGLE MAPS:
I saw many pp ask about this and now I will type the guide here:
- Remove old version of Map
- Go to your /data/system
- Take the file "packages.xml" and copy to somewhere (sdcard, pc..etc)
- Open it wit NOtepad++ (on PC - recommend) and search then delete the line: <shared-user name="com.google.android.apps.maps".....>
- Copy the file back to its place and set permission rw-r-r
- Install this new signed version below as normal apk
- Done & Test

Version 6.12 http://www.mediafire.com/?17l0ayhlyx0fdxo
Version 6.11: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0ufwl1bfo6zqx2i/Maps6.11.1_Mod.apk
FAQ:
Q: Why I dont make a patch/update via updater?
A: Becoz it depends on your packages.xml and UserID
Q: Is there any other easy way?
A: I dont know Just found this way and it works for me. If u can find other easy way, pm me and I will update the guide.

I don't have the line you showed. I only have this one;

Should I delete this one instead?
When installing from market, it says this
"Incompatible with other applications using same shared user ID"

Which version do you suggest? please keep in mind it must be run on the stock roms on nexus 4/7/10
There's a thread in this forum with different versions. It seems that there's no one suitable for all, that's why I suggested you different versions to choose
The app uses one apk on all devices .. Some user reports that it is working on s4.
Look at the comments and ratings on play store.
I read the information a few times but now I still not understand what exactly this app is used for? Just install/uninstall AOSP browser?

I'm a little confused, too. Why does it require root to install an app? Does it install it as a system app or something? Maybe something is lost in translation? Your English is very good, but a few things were a little confusing.
By the way, very thoughtful to make an ad version and a non ad version! I think that's a great idea. If people like your work, they can choose to support it.

Root is required because some system apps in nexus devices blocks the installation.
And yes the aosp browser will be installed as system app.

I just enabled it in the settings that way. Then go to somewhere that you can type and bring up your keyboard. Long-press in the box where you type, then select "Input method". Just select your choice in there. You can always change as needed.

2. open the file with word processor (ie Solid Explorer note), select all words, press Swype button (left-bottom button). Swype will adds all the words to dictionary
