[Q] So is there progress for swype on AOSP roms?

Is there progress for Swype on AOSP roms such as CM7 or.. Others? I left Sense-based roms from EViO and while it was very fast, I don't see myself going back. The only thing I miss, however, is swype. Now, I know that XDA is the best damn crew of developers when it comes to 'phone' software. I still haven't seen any threads about it though. Is there progress?

What kind of progress are you looking for? Find an .apk for it, install it and voila! Now you have Swype on your AOSP ROM.

What I am doing: sign up for beta. Then install the beta.
While waiting to be accepted, try this: take swype.apk from system app and libswypecore.so from system lib, and push to the same places on cm7. Worth a shot. Just backup first.

Plus the Beta is more up to date than the copy that is getting shipped with 3.70 roms. It has more features and functionality.

I'm going to quietly post and let this die..
I can't believe I didn't actually try one of the .apks. I thought I heard that swype was only being developed for sense-based roms but thinking about it now I realize how stupid that is. I also thought that swype had some kind of authentication but I don't know where that came from. Wow. I apologise for wasting youse guyses time.

[Q] ...screw froyo

after trying every flavor out there, ive decided to stick with di18.
i am picky, i know, but the stock rom (rooted) is 100% what I like. there is not one thing that doesnt work the way i like it to.... so.... on that note
ive removed all the sprint apps, update.zip and its rooted but i cannot get the darn thing to stop asking me about the update...
<picture> epic with 2.2 and caption "DO NOT WANT!" </picture>

make it stop!

I believe you could just rename or remove the systemUpdater.apk and it would stop checking for updates
.. I think thats the correct name but if its called something else please correct me
Edit: I would just use Titanium and "Freeze" the system updater at first. but i think this is removed on custom roms anyway so shouldn't be a problem to remove it

well, im a big fan of the syndicate rom but it carries over what i dont like
the "google" search is slower than the stock search
the browser seems slower
messages in the "call log" annoy me
cant search in phone app by last name
keyboard seems to "miss" letters
except syndicate, dk and ce based roms just seem slower
if i could build roms i would and remove the carrier iq and add the extra functions when you hold down the power button.
btw, im a guy.... i need to change my sn lol
so, im going to just remove system updater, hope that works

I'm with you,I liked DK28 the best out of all 3 FROYO releases,and I actually had DI18 on all day today just to see what it was like again; And I forgot how damn smooth it was compared to this hacked-up **** we have right now,I know EC05 is young (and I plan on building EC05 still) but I'm making a DK28/EB13/EC05 ROM with no carrier IQ,and most if not all EC05 mods should work,I start on that as soon as I get off work.

What you listed doesn't make sense...
the "google" search is slower than the stock search It is the stock search.
the browser seems slower Fast and checkerboardless in SRF.
messages in the "call log" annoy me Not present in SRF.
cant search in phone app by last name Fair.
keyboard seems to "miss" letters Better than DI18 and user-adjustable in SRF.

I don't think you need to defend SRF kOnane... I think my problem is UV kernels,but I still can't narrow down the static/pops. But this is what I've seen sofar,when fast scrolling (scroll fast,then remove finger fast) no pops,but if I scroll with my finger on the touch screen the entire time,it pops like crazy ; Which makes me think its the touch screen driver,or interference on the bus when using the touch screen...

The only Gingerbread friendly swipe version is the one that is in the Double shot port, but it runs SLOW SLOW SLOW.
Anyone have any ideas as how to fix that?
I can attach the APK and Lib File here is someone wants to check it out.

Dude, You didnt have to take it down, im sure people will still use it.
the problem with the non GB friendly version is you still get the pop up box, which then is blocked by the GB little word grabber things.
For the most part, it is usable, but the correction box is extremely limited in use.

I have like 5 different keyboards on my phone... and i can barely use any of them. I wish i could get the GB swype working better, but right now it is SOOO slow to just come up that it pisses me off.
Might want to invest in a tracext9 or somethign like that. Its in the market. Supposedly better than swype and has a ton of features. I have the earliest version and since it doesnt have an editable dictionary, i cant stand using it.

Yeah there is so much bs surrounding swype...I think I will check out tracext9.

OP,
There are two files you need to just yank out of the original ROM:
1. Swype.apk
2. libSwypeCore.so
Mount /system/lib as r/w, put libSwypeCore.so in it, then change perms back to r/o
Mount /system/app as r/w, put the Swype.apk in there, install it, then change perms back.
OR, you can just signup at http://beta.swype.com/ then download and install their "Installer" and install Swype from it.
EDIT: Honestly, though, I think this one is better: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input
EDIT2: I don't know why others are having problems. I've used Swype on GB (CM7) without any issues at all

What do you mean when you say it isn't working? Does swype FC? Does it not open? Can you type single characters & but not swype a word?
If you can you type single characters & but not swype a word, change your input method to another keyboard and then back to swype. It should work until you reboot.

Nah I am a member and I download the swype installer and it just hangs there at login. I have tried multiple times no luck. I have FlexT9 now its good but not quite swype.

Please could you post that. I would be forever grateful.

I'm a big Swype fan and have always used it on my EVO but I got tired of trying to get it to work on my Nook Color and Xoom.
Even though I resisted all of the suggestions to do so, I finally bit the bullet and bought SlideIt keyboard from the market. It's about as good as Swype and it works on everything I've installed it on.

sorry,i didnt mention this before,but 4shared.apk is a website that you can search and download apps straight to your phone.been there many times and have alot of useful apps there for free,and they are all FULL versions,have fun once youre there,they have about 60,000 free full apps by now im sure

[REQ]AOSP Messaging apk

I change themes quite often, but only one theme that I've come across for the Samsung Epic that uses AOSP messaging as opposed the the default "Samsung messaging" (I guess you could call it), is Engraved Blues. I've used that theme for the longest, mostly because it has AOSP messaging. It comes with WAY more user functionality than the limited "Samsung Messaging." Is there anyone that could put AOSP Messaging into a flashable zip? That way, I can use whatever theme I chose, and still have AOSP Messaging. I would really appreciate it if this could be done!
I'd even be willing to learn how to do it. I usually don't request, and tinker with things on my own, but I'd need some help with this one. If someone wants to walk me through the process, I'd be even more appreciative, because I wouldn't have to ask for these kinds of things!

I don't know what you mean by AOSP messaging but Impaler's transparent MMS are flashable zips. They both look and run very well. Give one of them a try. Just download and flash in CWM.

AOSP messaging is I guess stock Android messaging. At least that's what someone told me a while back. There are noticeable differences. Probably one of the most important is the fact that with default Sammy messaging, when messages come in while I'm roaming, they are 4 hours in advance. For some reason, this isn't the case with AOSP messaging. It's really weird. There are also options for vibration types, and you're also able to change the font size of the messages. None of these options are present in Sammy messaging, AND, there are no chat balloons; just color backgrounds.
The MOST important reason I prefer AOSP is because for whatever reason, I cannot pinpoint, whenever I run a ROM with Samsung's messaging app, the phone tends to randomly restart. Ever since I've been using Engraved Blues with AOSP messaging, the random restarts are nonexistent. No reboots whatsoever! My phone has been super stable with SRF 1.1.1 and Engraved Blues. I don't know why it causes those reboots, and I don't have my messaging set to keep a lot of messages. Maybe 50 at the most.
Impaler's transparent messaging is based off of Samsung's Android messaging app and while it looks awesomely sweet, I've had the same unfortunate reboots as it seems to be based off of Sammy messaging.
EDIT: Ok, just noticed this in his thread.
These apps are the 2.2 MMS app, only about 50 times better than Samsung could have ever made it...

Maybe I should give it a try again? I know when he first started posting the transparent messaging app series, I could've sworn it was simply themed Samsung messaging?

I haven't really had any problems with what you mentioned. I would say give it a try. I think you will be pretty happy. His messaging app is always the first mod I flash after flashing a new ROM or theme. If it doesn't work for you, sorry.

I have that same problem with Swype where when I'm roaming all my messages read 4 hours ahead of time. Gets really bothersome. I can't live without swype anymore though.

Funny thing is that before I installed the Engraved Blues theme, I thought that the Samsung messaging app was standard Android. If I hadn't come across the theme, I wouldn't have known a thing about AOSP messaging. And what's with that roaming problem? Man, that's so annoying! How'd Samsung let that one out of the gate with that glaring problem???

Would it be safe to remove the old apk from system after flashing this? I may or may not be wrong but I seem to remember that caused problems when receiving pictures and the like.

The old apk shouldn't be in the system after you flash it.. If it is yes you can delete it.

Needed - Custom CWM/Gingerbread keyboard

Hi all, I recently flashed my SGS 2 with Angelo ROM but I have noticed over the last couple of days that no ROM has the gingerbread keyboard. I have a .zip file, but the CWM I have is giving me the E: bloody signature verification failed message.
Does anybody here have a custom CWM that I can use to flash it, or an alternate gingerbread keyboard installation type thing?
Also, I wanted to know if anyone could tell me where to store external wallpapers in the root system so the wallpaper pickers find them automatically?

Just install the APK, noCWM needed. You may need to root your phone, not sure because I never tried on stock. if you need root, go there.

I literally only just found the bottom of your message (teach me for reading on my phone late at night). I don't have a .apk for it, only a flashable zip file. I'd still like a custom CWM so I can install other zip files too though.
@yamanote, @norpan111 what is the app called in the market, searching "gingerbread keyboard" is not turning it up for me.
EDIT: I found it! All installed although my one is still prettier. Can anyone help me with my CWM/Wallpaper issues?
EDIT AGAIN: Frustrating! My lockscreen has vanished again and the home button on the phone doesn't actually take me to the homescreen anymore. Has anybody had the same problem?

'Keyboard from Android 2.3' by Steven Lin. It's free.
Just wondering, how is yours prettier? Too lazy to install to see

The one I used to have, and -was- able to install on this phone was from here:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/app-14-04-11-new-themed-gingerbread-kyb-fully-working-edited-few-links.689/
in this style:

Argh, I can't use a keyboard that doesn't have a comma on the main text page.
Swiftkey X is the best I've used yet. It would be perfect if it had Swype style functionality as I can't use Swype due the the stupid number placement - calculator style instead of keyboard style.

to be fair, I thought I wasn't going to be able to deal without swype, but someone recommended the Gingerbread Keyboard to me, so I tried it. After some trial and error I couldn't do without it... probably until the next best thing comes along.
I'm a butterfingers, I need something more intelligent than me keeping an eye on what I'm actually typing.
