I am trying to help a friend out here with this one. I am trying to put swype back on my buddies slide and I am running into major problems. First off, I want to say I was able to do this on my G2 without any problems.
Ok, I have the libSwypeCore.so file and the Swype.apk file. When I try to push the libswype core file I get an out of memory error. I get another error when I try to install the apk, but I just can't remember it now.... too tired.
Has anyone who has been successful with this point me in the right direction?

Are you pushing the .so file and the .apk file while the phone is in recovery? That's the only way we can do push and install stuff using adb on the slide without special overlays and whatnot, because we are still s-on. You can't modify /system while the phone is out of recovery. If you are doing this while in recovery and you're still getting an error, I don't know what to tell you. I doubt that it's actually out of memory, so maybe a more experienced person on the matter can further troubleshoot. Sorry that's all I could offer

Wow, I did not know that. Thanks for the info. When I get his phone back I will try to push while in recovery. Makes sense now.
Push the so and install the apk just like I would do with the G2 right?

This is odd. On the slide you don't need the .so file. Just the swype.apk and it works. Did they change things? I'm using the 195 nightly so I'm using froyo.
With the newer swype betas it isn't required.

I am having the same problem.
I just upgraded my old slide to cm6.1 so I can give it to my dad.
I tried what we do on the g2 (putting the swype libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib/ and then installing the apk but I get errors)
How or what do I need to do to go about restoring swype on my slide?
As mentioned, are you pushing the files when in Recovery,? If not, you have to be in Recovery to push files to anything in /system.

Yes I pushed them in recovery and i verified the lib is in /system/lib
When I try and do the adb install swype.apk I get a dex error (probably cause the swype.apk is from a odexed rom and cm6 isn't)
nevermind, I fixed it. Swype works now.

If it was a solution you PM'd him, it would be nice to publicly post it so that others could benefit from your solution, I don't know why you felt a need for secrecy.

How did you end up fixing it? I'm sure others would love to know, and also, I was about to say, if it is an odexed APK it can't run without it'd .odex file, so you would have to use the ROM kitchen to de-odex the apk to use it with a deodexed rom. How did you end up fixing it anyway, if it wasn't by deodexing it?
I got the Swype_1.60.36.8214_HVGA.apk (which is the one that works on the slide in cm6.1).
I had to manually make room on /system for the libSwypeCore.so file though since /system was full (I moved Youtube.apk and a couple other non essential .apks to /data/app) then I opened the apk in 7zip, extracted the .so file, manually put it in /system/lib and THEN installed the .apk and swype worked just fine.
Anyway, it works now and my 70 year old father is happy with his first android experience (a white mytouch slide running cm6.1 @844mhz)
Well if you every have issues with it installing when you flash the rom or if you do it with adb I made a zip to do it. It's handy if you don't have computer around with adb installed (like me - damn work computer). I'll remove the actual Swype.apk so I don't get any lashings from the mods.
This might help next time you some one tries to install swype since it gets picky sometimes. Also, Swype 1.6* is HUGE (12MB), you may want to open the apk and take out a lot of the files since it's multi language and I'm sure most of us only use one, maybe two languages.

Do you think it would work with the Swype.HVGA.2.15.56.14870-English_only.apk?
Or is it just something I should try for myself?

Yeah it will work as long as the phone will accept the apk, some swype versions are not well liked by our phone. You'll need to drag and drop your swype apk into the system-app folder then install.
Just use an archive explorer like winrar or 7zip to open (without extracting) the zip. Find your swype file, then drag and drop it into the app folder (inside the system folder). You can use adb to install it but I just flash it in clockwork.

I'm thinking the reason you couldn't push the file via adb was because you never mounted the system while in clockwork recovery.

All right, now I've got a problem.
I tried flashing the zip that KCRic and I must have downloaded a bum Swype, or one that just doesn't work... But now when I start my phone, it force closes right off the bat, and from there I can't remove it by going into Manage Applications. Everything there is greyed out.(Except Move to SD card, which doesn't work anyways)
Is there some other way I can get rid of it? Maybe thru ADB... Or an easier way? Haha.

Yeah the phone is s-on, meaning /system is read only. You have to reboot into clockwork recovery, go to partitions, mount /system, then in command prompt, type adb shell, then rm /system/app/apkname.apk, whatever the name of swype is obviously replacing apkname.
Not sure if this info has been posted anywhere. So, I would like to know if there is any way to install APKs from a different rom onto current rom. I am currently running IncRom 1.2, but I have never been a fan of Sense dialers. I would like to install either MIUI dialer or any 2.3 based dialer. Is it possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Any info. would be greatly appreciated.
Just download whatever rom you want the apk from and put it onto your new rom? I hope that makes sense as I can't think of a better way to explain ...

I get what you're saying and I've tried that before, but then I always get force closes on phone app. What I've done before is grab apk from 2nd rom, place it in place of apk in current rom. I've tried zipping after that, and not zipping the file. After trying both ways, I reinstall rom, then run into the force close issue. Do I need to reinstall Rom after that? Or am I not even doing this the right way?
You need to fix the permission after you put it into your rom. I use root explorer and its two boxes for the first row then one for the other two.

Sounds good. Will try fixing permissions. Will report back on results. BTW, thanks for the help so far.
I don't think it is possible because the phone apk is tied into the framework. Please correct me if I'm wrong
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I fixed permissions, removed current phone.apk and replaced it with the fixed phone.apk. I rezipped rom and reinstalled. Once it was up and running I was right back where I started with the original phone.apk, minus the fc's.

I know this works with the music.apk as I've done it in the past just replacing the stock app with the gingerbread music app and it worked just fine after setting permissions. But now that I think about it more I think I also had to install it just like a regualr app to get all the files in place then set permissions not just replace the file in the system/app folder.
The phone apk ties into other programs. It is not a stand alone flash. There would need to be some code changes to make it work.
Seems like too much work for me. Appreciate the ideas & help you guys offered.

Check out incredibly re-engineered...
Aosp dialer will probably not work on a Sense based roms as Sense is a UI overlayed and pretty deeply integrated into the Android os. You may want to consider one of the dialer options from market...Dialer one is popular. Or you may just want to consider moving to an aosp rom.

I have been trying to install reengineered but ever since I updated clockworkmod I can't. That's besides the point. I have used a few aosp roms but miss out on Sense. Guess I have my cake, but can't eat it. Oh well.

Who are you asking? I never uninstalled stock messaging so I'm not sure who you are directing that towards. This was my first attempt at trying to move apks around so I don't have enough info.
I found an old thread with it, but the download doesn't work anymore.

I've tried it 3 times and can't find it anywhere after I flash it.
I don't see that you responded to my post in your other camera thread, but here's a piece of it that may be relevant:
byrong said:
What version of recovery are you using? Have you tried manually booting to recovery and flashing rather than going through RM?
I ask these questions because it's possible that you are running a new version of recovery 3.x and trying to use the old update script. If you try it manually then you'll be able to see if it is failing to update (going through RM will just reboot and you won't realize it failed).

Here's an old zip from Virtuous:
http://files.virtuousrom.com/inc/extras/virtuous-install_evo_camera.zip
If you can't successfully flash, extract the apk from the zip and use root explorer to copy it to system/apps
Then just make sure to set the permissions properly on the file and reboot - that should do it

I have it. do you want it for an EVO based rom or Incredible framework, on a ROM like SkyRaider which is 100% incredible framework the EVO camera will work.. but it makes it so you can't send MMS msg...
I'm running virtuous so I would need it for that rom.

Hi, im running ec05 with the urban fury rom. I made a few changes to the rom and rezipped the file and flashed the zip with the new apks i added. I used the apks from midnight rom extras 5.2, all i did was take the apks from system/app from the extras and added them to urban fury roms system/app folder. The primary reason i did this was to fix the voicemail issue as midnights rom didnt require a text message. However i ended up adding all the apks over anyway instead of just that one apk. Im just trying to find out why is it everytime i power down my phone and boot it up all the apks i installed from the market are gone...???? Im going to undo what i did in a few hours but and just try the voicemail apk, but im just curious why this happens and is there a way i can fix it? Thanks for any help....
Did you modify the apks? Sounds like they are not signed.

I'm having the same problem on the Urban Legend ROM, I didn't edit anything in the ROM, but everytime I reboot my apps from the market are gone and have to download again. The data files seem to stay as I don't have to reenter any information, but the app itself goes away.
Sounds like YPIR to me.

For the most post I like and am fine with the stock browser. However, while I was running cm7, I came to like some of the differences between the stock cm browser and the stock sense browser. I tried swapping the apks between the two rooms (cm7 and incubus' rooted GB but the browser just fc'd. Is there a way to swap stock browsers between roms?
I'm currently running rooted stock gb and am happy with it except for that.

Did you install it then fun fix permissions? That may help.

How did you try to install the AOSP browser on your sense rom? I'd try putting it in system/app then setting the permissions to match the other apks. Should be r-w-rr.
Ah, I didn't try to fix permissions - I'll have to try it that way and see. Will report back, thanks!
No go - still force closes with matching permissions. I copied it over to the system\app folder with root explorer, changed the permissions and rebooted. I am going to try clearing the cache to see if that helps.
And clearing cache and dalvik didn't help, still FC. Hrm...
I don't think that's even possible since one is sense and the other is aosp.. and I can say this cuz I try getting the miui file explorer to work on a sense ROM without success...
