Upgrading to CM nightly- question about swype

I'm debating upgrading to the newest nightly of cyanogenmod however I really do not want to let go of my stock swype. I'm not interested in using an alternate app like shapewriter either....
Has anyone successfully loaded the stock apk onto their CM build for this phone? If so, please explain how!
Thanks!

I suggest you sign up for the Swype beta and wait patiently.

Theres no way to salvage the apk before i flash the new rom i suppose...?

Well, if you need a froyo rom with Swype you should download Eugene's Froyo (newbuild.zip) and flash it via ROM Manager. Otherwise, no, there's no way to salvage it.

thanks for the quick reply, i'm going to look into it.

Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749273 . Some of the people here don't like Swype and are totally against installing it on other ROMs but it is doable.

Thanks for the link, i'm in the process of going through it.
I don't see why anyone would not want swype at least as an option on a custom rom, especially since the stock version runs beautifully. Swype is really smooth and accurate, so much so that I wouldn't mind not having a hardware keyboard!

swype is an acquired taste lol some like it some dont but once you use it and get used to it its the best at what it does! sign up for the beta and they should send you a swype installer pretty quickly only real problem is that it isnt themed like the one that comes with the slide
go to 4shared and search for swype there should be a themed version that doesnt get old
and on another note if you sign up and register on swype then search for a swype installer and use that you should be able to use swype that way since it will see you are registered to use it and what not!

Installing language pack in Swype

Hello, I've tried to download the LibSwypeCore.so and put in system/lib folder to get pt-br language into my phone, but it just wont recognize any library, neither potuguese nor english... How can i get PT-BR in my swype??
Thanks a lot

I'm running Darky's 9.3b3 and ever since I jumped on the Darky bandwagon, I've had to flash a separate Swype package everytime I wanted to upgrade the ROM to a newer version.
You might be able to find the language you're looking for following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10208534&postcount=14303
You'll need Darky's ROM installed and a custom recovery to do this.

Yeah and are you sure this will work for him without a rom from Darky? Just having a custom recovery is enough?

and I even tried it on my STOCK rom, and after it swype was NOT there
If I didnt do backup before I would end up now without swype now. But then again I might have done something wrong

Actually i DO have darky 9.3

[Q][FIXED] [Tutorial in Epic Development Section!!!!] Swype sfr 1.2 update

I wan't to update the swype that was included with sfr 1.2 how would i do that since there is no stock android keyboard in sfr?

Install a trial/beta/free one temporarily so that you can deactivate and uninstall swype (it does get whiney if you uninstall it and install the new Swype beta without having had it deactivated first)

when i try to install the keyboard via the installer i cannot install because it is a system application!

Well, yes... you'll have to use File Expert, Root Explorer, or something similar... remove the swype apk and .so file from their respective places, reboot, then install the beta.
I'm mobile, so I'll let you search for specifics, but off memory it's /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
Edit: Be sure to disable Swype and switch input to another keyboard before removing those files.

did that but still no luck!!!!!
EDIT: Didn't see the part about rebooting..I rebooted and it worked!!!!! Thanks!!!!!

This Swype is that comes with stock ROMS, This has been extracted from VillainROM 3 for SGS2, this flashable ZIP have the necesary files that Swype can work with any ROM, this also modify four props from build.prop file.
Flash this at your own responsability, and if you do it please report back.
If you have problems to boot after flash, you can restore your original build.prop with adb, if you don't know what is this, maybe you have to reconsider to flash it
NOTE: Disable signature verification before flash.
CHANGES: V0.2 Fixed to work with CM9, tested by my self.
DOWNLOAD V0.2: http://www.multiupload.com/2TFST8FOCJ

You need to delete Swype.apk from /system/app folder and move /system/build.prop.swype file to /system/build.prop
You can do it with ADB or Root Explorer.

I have made some little changes, now works fine with CM9, you only have to download v0.2 and flash it again.

Thanks! Just installed this on XXLP2 and where version 0.1 didn't work, version 0.2 works perfectly

works with miui 2.1.13 - but i cant set it as the default keyboard. it always switches to the standard keyboard after restart. do you have any idea to fix it? i think it was the v1 but im not sure.
thank you.

Why should anyone install a very old version off Swype when you can get the newest for free and on every ROM from swype.com????

This version is better for some languages other than English.
For example, the new version of Swype includes all letters from the Turkish alphabet (an additional 6 letters cramped on a small screen!), whereas this version simply uses the English QWERTY layout and predicts what I'm typing in Turkish. Therefore, this version is a lot more error-free and efficient when I'm typing in Turkish.

Hi
First of all, really nice job! Just like you and other guys around I do fancy the older version of swype.
I was wondering, though, if this stock swype was able to be ported only because of the original files extracted from VR3. Could it be possible to get, for instance, the swype version found in ICS XWLP2 to work with CM9 as well? Could you point out something like the procedure you followed for doing so? (or do it for us )
Thanks in advance

Good joob, its works on my d4rom cm9. Can you add please romanian language?

does this have pt-pt language?

Swype Keyboard

Got the Swype beta, but looking for a non beta apk that will not expire.

I've been using Swype beta for about two years and have never encountered an expiration...

really my i9000 had the oem swype, on swype site it states it will expire in 6 months. Plus i don't like the swype connect and it auto updating, Would like my keyboard to have no access to the internet.
