Turn off the phone, turn it on, wait for blue led and press Vol.Down.
Select Recovery, Custom Recovery, Install zip from sdcard, Choose zip and select the Swype one.
Reboot and you're done.

Already tried that, but the install gets aborted, no idea why.. Any other ways to install it?

Installed the way listed above worked perfectly

I've read somewhere in the main CM7 topic that another way is possible...
Here you are! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14411454&postcount=5732

Got it working, I was using the attached file from the swype thread, which apparently does not have the install script. Downloaded the swype installer from the link instead at it worked like a charm!
Thanks for all your help!

Swype 3.0 (the Zip File contains Ver 2.x)
Another method is to go to the Swype Homepage (https://beta.swype.com/) Register for getting an Beta-Tester Account.
Step by Step Guide
Possible Problems:
You have an older Swype version installed (from zip)
- Just re-install or update your CM7 with the latest RC or nightly like
3) in Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
Now the old Swype should be gone...
Swype crashes after installing was sucessfull
- Deinstall Swype via Settings/Applications, reboot and re-install from the Swype installer.
I tried it today with the latest nightly...

[THEME] Minimal Matte ! FOR GALAXY S!

I have ported the famous theme, Minimal Matte onto our galaxy s.
it is orignally designed for the android 2.2 froyo and have ported it to android 2.1 (near abouts). It isnt exactly the minimal matte but is most like . screens are below.
Orignal Concept by: shiftedx
BUT made by : webstar1
Includes:
*Full Framework
*Launcher Pro (Themed)
*Geniewidget
*Skinned Swype QWERTY Keypad
* and more!
If you like it, please support me by donating below, ill be doing more ports and maybe even a custom rom .
Tested on a European JH1 Firmware with root
Download
Donate
EDIT: Ok so people are having problems flashing this:
The way i did it:
Downloaded Minimal Matte by webstar 1 directly to my phone
booted clockworkmod recovery and chose install zip not apply update.zip
then navigated to download/minimal matte
once its installed rebooted and voila, its worked.
im using a JH1 with root access.
make a nandroid backup before applying.
ive flashed this 5 times now and have had no problems
Just in case, THIS IS FOR ANDROID 2.1 not 2.2

Yup, ur free to post themed free apps (unless the developer has issues with it). But paid is always a No.
Btw:
INSTALL PROCEDURE:
just flash it with clockwork mod recovery or rename to update.zip and flash in backup mode (vol up+home+power when phone is turned off)

I know what might of happened, I have removed the bootscreen of samsung galaxy s where the S is made by tiny dots fusing. Basically if you flash this, I think it might wipe the boot screen as well so after flashing this, let the phone work for 10 minuets and the phone should definatley launch. You can get the bootscreen back by installing ryanz one click lag fix and the app had an option to restore bootscreen. Do that then uninstall app.
Try again but give phone time to work

Hi, sorry for my english i'm french
I waited for at least 30 minutes during the black screen but nothing happened. The black screen occurs after the animated galaxy S logo. The menu and return keys are lit during the black screen if I press them.
Has this worked for anyone at all

So was this theory proven correct?
I tried three times but it never worked (black screen). The last time I tried with a fresh installation: install the JM1new, root, installed rom manager, flashed clockwork mod, installed thre theme. Result still the same...
Use theme porter and see if it works
I think u must have a deodexed rom

it worked for me with clockwork recovery
here are the steps i did
1. download I9000TGYJH1
2. download root/busybox @samdroid
3. flash I9000TGYJH1 with repartition
4. apply root
5. install clockwork recovery
6. download this rom
7.flash it with clockwork recovery
so you dont need a deoxed rom...
my guess is that it needs a jh1 rom

[Q] How to flash the ROM?

Hi is there somewhere a guide how to flash the ROMs and any list of available ROMs?
Can you advice, recommend some particular ROM?
Hi first of all you have created 2 new threads when you could of created one and asked both questions.
Im assuming that you are rooted looking at your other thread. You need to make sure you have clockworkmod recovery installed, if you haven't the easiest way to do get it is to download ROM manager from the market. Load the app and at the top it will say flash clockworkmod recovery. click on this and this will install CWM recovery for you.
ROM manager is a great tool that les you down load and install ROM's from within the app.
The ROM's available in ROM manager are as follows I'm not going to go in to to much detail, I recommend you have a good read through the dev section about the different ROM's that are available.
CyanogenMod: Is the one of the most popular ROM's available, it is pretty much stock with a few awesome tweaks.
Virtuous: A custom Sense based ROM
MIUI: a really unique ROM that looks more like the iPhone UI, some people love it offers a lot of eye candy and some cool built in features.
There are lots of other ROM's available in the DEV section.
You can download the above ROM's directly from ROM manager and install them really easily just by following the pop ups. Or you can download ROM's from the the DEV forum and place on to your sdcard. Here is a step by step guide.
1, Download your chosen ROM to your sdcard.
2, Reboot in to recovery, select this option from within ROM manager.
3, You will now be in CWM recovery, select back up and restore then backup, this is really important and you should do this before flashing anything. it will enable you to restore you phone to a previous problem free state if you ever mess anything up.
4, Select wipe data, you should do this whenever flashing different types of rom, for example if you are running MIUI and want to switch to virtuous you need to wipe data.
5, Wipe cache, all ways do this regardless of what you are flashing.
6, Head to advance, and wipe dalvik cache.
7, Now time to flash your ROM,
8, Select install zip from sdcard.
9, choose zip from sdcard
10, Navigate to your ROM and select it for flashing.
11, Once complete reboot your phone and you should be running a custom ROM.
It will be worth investing in an app such as titanium backup, this will allow you to back up all your apps and settings, when you install a ROM for the first time and you have to wipe data you will lose everything you have installed and all you settings, Titanium Backup will allow you to restore your apps and setting once you installed a new ROM.
If you want a recommendation for a ROM my personal preference is CM7.
With regards to your other thread, don't worry to much about not having a back up there are guides available for unrooting and going back to stock if you ever need to, not that you will want to after trying custom ROM's
Hope this helps, good luck
Thanks a lot for your reply ,this is exactly what I was looking for now a little calm down

Superuser still the same problem. However maybe I forget to mention it but I've already installed it. It was installed automatically during I was rooting my phone using adb command. Now I just wanted to update it and the problem appears as I described in one of the previous posts herein.
Maybe it is not necessary to update it but I am curious why this problem occurs.

You have helped already sufficiently a lot.
Now I ma trying to flash the ROM and as the first one I've chosen CM7
Before I'll do it pls confirm if I'm thinking the right way.
First I'll do backup all my apps (also titanium, Superuser and Rom manager need it? I suppose Yes, or somehow they backup automatically?) Maybe better question is what should be backuped, I am asking because on the list in titanium there are also apps like clock which are delivered with the software. You know after flashing a new Rom and restoring all aps I'd like to avoid overwriting them by the backuped ones.
The second is after apps backup I need to move created file from my phone into my PC,right? The same after system backup by clockworkmod recovery?

With titanium you just want to back up user apps and data (apps you have downloaded and installed). You can choose to back up system apps but you don't want to restore them after flashing the new rom.
You don't need to copy back up files to your pc, your memory card will not get wiped during the flashing process.

Fix Swype with custom ROM (Aospc in particular)

So I've been messing around this weekend trying to get the LICENSED Swype installation that came with our handsets to work on Aospcmod, and through a mess of trial and error I finally figured out what was going on and got it to work. Yes, I know there is another thread here that has you downloading the trialware beta and doing other 'hinky stuff' to make it work, but I'd rather use the licensed copy that came with my phone, thanks.
Swype appears to peek at the build.prop on our handsets and if certain variables don't match what it expects to find it will error out into unlicensed mode where 'swyping' doesn't work and you get a 'Swype not licensed for this device' type message.
In particular Swype seems to look at ro.product.model and ro.product.brand (in build.prop) - for some reason whoever is compiling Aospcmod for the Optimus V has seen it fit to change these values from what they were in the stock FroYo build.
So - to make a long story short if you are using a custom ROM, you've pulled the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so from the stock rom and put them into your custom rom, and you still can't get Swype to work you should edit build.prop and change these lines from:
ro.product.model=LG-VM670
ro.product.brand=virgin_mobile
to:
ro.product.model=VM670
ro.product.brand=VirginMobile
How do you edit build.prop? Well if you've installed a custom ROM I'd like to think you can figure it out for yourself. My method was:
1. Connect your phone and use ROMTools option 4 to mount /system as r/w
2. adb pull /system/build.prop
3. Make the above edits to build.prop (USE A REAL TEXT EDITOR - NOT WINDOWS NOTEPAD!)
4. adb push build.prop /system/build.prop
5. Reboot
Need the original Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so from the stock ROM? Simple! Use SwypeRestore.apk posted by another user of XDA - it will pull the Swype from a backup of the stock ROM (You DO have a backup, right?) and install it to your current setup. You can find SwypeRestore here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841603
Once you've fixed the build.prop, installed the Optimus V stock Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so, and rebooted the phone you should be good to go - a fully legitimate and licensed Swype install on your custom ROM!
Hope this wasn't too complicated sounding.
I was going to attach a fixed build.prop for Aospcmod, but since the various values can change every time a build of Aospcmod is released I figured it would be better to have everyone do their own build.prop editing. :-/
Thanks for the tutorial. Been missing swype on my on my V since i put a custom rom on it.

yep it says if Swype came preinstalled on your phone then this beta will not work
Ha, so that begs the question, how does one get Swype 3.0 working?
Uninstall the pre-installed Swype, then download the Swype Installer from the Swype Beta website, run it, and you will have the new 3.0 version.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner, long day at work. Glad you got it working, left over data can be a problem with lots of system apps.
(nothing a good recovery's wipe won't handle in extreme cases)
You guys are making it to complicated, when i installed aosp for the first time, i used to like swype so i just went to thier website, downloaded the installer and registered, and it works 100% fine. No need to do anything to make it work.

Yeah... that's because you're using a ROM that didn't come with Swype. The issue on bumblebee and stock is that Swype pre-installed means lots of files in places you don't want them to be.
Unintalling Pre-Install Swype
Hey guys, to uninstall preload Swype:
Use root explorer to delete Swype.apk from your \system\app\ folder
then delete lib file for swype (sorry I don't remember the exact name) from \system\lib\ (search for *swype* should find it)
reboot
download beta and enjoy!
Or...you could just do it the easy way - download Swype installer and the beta through it.

I really liked it. Though today i booted up my phone and got fc like crazy over swype. If you read the apk it says minimum os requirement is 3.1
So far, after a restart, I have it working again.. What I did:
1. Select a different keyboard to stop the force closing of the new Swype.
2. Restore the original pre installed Swype.
3. Dalvik wipe and a cache wipe. after the reboot, FIRST de-select the default Swype input to Android keyboard
5. Delete the old Swype (backup the original) from system/app.
6. Proceed to the Swype installer and install Swype, when it gets to the licensing part, you should get a background fc (I believe that's Swype restarting from unlicensed, to licensed.)
7. Don't enable Swype after licensing is done. Instead move it to system/app.
8. Restart into cwm. Dalvik wipe 3x, and reboot. The force closing is gone. Go into the locale and text input in settings, and notice all keyboards are checked. when you try typing no keyboard should come up.
9. Launch Swype installer and it now says (sorry, Swype is not available on preinstalled devices) close out and as soon as you try typing again, the new Swype will work again . No force closes, still works after reboot and etc.
I hope this delicate procedure helps someone else who wants the latest Swype, its Hella worth it, and you'll be glad you did since here on after it will be ota updates! =D

Hm, after I remove 3.25 then reboot it's still there! Guess I'll have to stick with that one...
EDIT: Was able to remove 3.25 with Titanium Backup, rebooted and installed 3.26 successfully. Lost the slick theme from the Nexus S 3.25 but better functionality and OTA updates will be worth it!

1. Uninstall your current Swype (just the keyboard, leave the installer)
2. Make a backup copy on your sdcard of /system/build.prop (Use ES File Explorer/Root Explorer, etc.. Something that has root access and write access to root level)
3. Go in and open your current build.prop on the device in /system/ and modify the following line.
Change the line:
ro.product.model=Nexus S 4G (on our phone it shows sph-d700, but change it to Nexus S)
To read:
ro.product.model=Nexus S
Save, reboot and run the installer.. You will then have 3.26 when completed. Afterwards go back in and either change your current build.prop back to saying Nexus S 4G or delete out the current and replace with your backup copy.

running SR v1.2, just used titanium backup to uninstall the system app. Then installed as normal from the site. Works great.

My version of getting it installed can have installer removed, without faking the build.prop
Hm.. interesting, I'm not able to follow my instructions on GB. They worked fine for Froyo. Guess my Instructions only help if you're on froyo?

I successfully installed 3.26, what I did:
1. Switched to Android Keyboard (turned off Swype)
2. Uninstalled Swype AND Swype Installer with Titanium
3. Went on-line to have new invite email sent.
4. Clicked on link, Installer installed no problem.
5. Swype installed no problem.
Can the Installer now be uninstalled, since Swype is supposed update itself automatically from now on?
If you want 3.26 themed, check out this guy's site. Awesome work, and they're all fully compatible with our phone.
Also very easy to install. All you have to do is download his apk, uninstall swype from ur phone (thru titanium OR delete w/ root explorer), then just install the new swype 3.26 regularly. no need to root explorer push or flash or wutever. just install. 1-2-3.

better hurry in case swype shuts this guy down or something, as they've done in the past. or at least request that he takes down all his swype beta apks.
i love this keyboard thanks
can someone please post the latest beta apk? i have deleted the appropriate files/previous version and downloaded the installer but it still wont let me install the beta.
please help
Send you the apk is not allowed cause it's only for beta testers...but you can contact the Swype support
i dont think that is true as you can download it directly from their website but if your phone has swype preinstalled they dont let you download it. Can someone please post the latest version of swype with Dragon?
thanks in advance,

If you are a beta member you can download it. If you have Swype preinstalled remove the apk, lib file, and data folder then install the Swype installer. Swype has asked before that people stop publicly distributing their product, especially their betas.

[TUTORIAL] Fix Market Errors on CM7

Many people have been facing problems with downloading apps from Market when using CM7. This is a simple tutorial who anyone can follow.
Requirements:
S-OFF or Bootloader Unlocked
Permanent Root
Steps:
1. Download and Install Rom Toolbox from Market (Yes, I know this is for fixing the download errors, but still). (Get it from an external site).
2. Open it and allow it for Root Permissions.
3. Choose Root Browser from the list.
4. Scroll down to system folder.
5. Open it. You will see a build.prop file.
6. Long press on it and scroll down to 'Open in Text Editor'. Choose it.
7. Now, you will see a text file. See the line:
ro.product.model = HTC Wildfire
Change it to:
ro.product.model = HTC Wildfire S
8. Press the Save button.
You're done! All your Market errors should now be gone.
Note: If for any reason you want the original file back, it will be saved as build.prop.bak.
Please click thanks if this helped!

Sadly, this doesn't for me.
When I open the file, there already is the wanted line, but still i cant get into the market.
When I open the market, it says: Do you want to add an account? When I click on yes, the market closes.
What can i do?
i have had the same problem i just installed via cwm the latest google apps rebooted and it worked for me
i used gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
I will try it.
Small Off-Topic question: Are there any other buggs in CM7?
No other bugs in cm7 unless to start trying to push it by the way the new kernel on the nightly update is very good
