Swype was there, now its not. The apk is still in system/app, but its not in the locale and text settings as an option. I tried removing and re-adding the apk, fixing permissions, and its not working. This is the third app that gone berzerk on me, and the only mod I have at this point is maddogins simply blue theme with 6lock mod. The swype was themed. Any suggestions? First it was the settings, then the market, now swype. The only fixes for the others were to reflash stock ec05.

have you tried getting in on the swype beta? since you dont have the stock in their you should be able to install the swype beta no problem...
Its still in system/app, but its like its not installed. I'm gonna reflash the theme, and remove everything except swype.

i would just do an ec05 reflash
they will not let me post a link yet, oh well, you can find it, just search for swype beta
That's what I'll probably have to do. I messed up the zip somehow, so right now I'll just live without it. Its no biggie, just strange.

I tried upgrading to Fresh Rom 3.1.0.1 but I'm took hooked on the Droid-X keyboard, I had to go back to Eclair Fresh Rom.
I tried CM6 out, bad ass rom btw but I'm so used to Sense, I wanted to stay on Fresh.
Now the Droid-X keyboard will not work on ForYo I heard but what does CM6 have? Sure looks like the Droid-X to me, re-skinned black. Matter of fact I've seen the Droid-X keyboard re-skinned black so I know it was done.
I snagged CM6, ripped it's keyboard apk and tried to install it on Fresh, which Fresh FroYo, which is told me I would be replacing my existing keyboard, then it told me it couldn't install.
Is there a way to remove the factory keyboard with 2.2 and push that one in and have it work or could you devs make it work?
If I'm on the wrong track here, let me know but the one IN CM6 sure looks like the Droid-X running on 2.2 to me.
Is the CM6 keyboard the native 2.2 keyboard?
On a related note, can someone post the .apk for the native 2.2 keyboard?
CM6 is using the stock froyo keyboard with the hidden number panel that you slide up to open. At least RC1 was, and I doubt the nightly would be any different. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
I believe the keyboard in CM6 is the stock Froyo 2.2 keyboard. I'm not sure if you removed the HTC one if it would default to that one since it's not already available when you try to chose a different input method.
Rm apk from cm6 push to w.e. Rom you want... profit

I could be totally wrong, but doesnt RM ReMove stuff? Delete it? Anyway, I took the keyboard from CM6, pushed it to system/app, reset, and it now shows up in input method, but force closes when selected. Must be relying on a lib file or something.
I have Netarchy's ROM installed, and i too fell in love with the CM6 keyboard. So i found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744373 and now i have the CM6 Keyboard on my ROM. Works Flawless. No FC r anything.

You are AWESOME. Worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!
So then the CM6 keyboard, which is stock ForYo 2.2 keyboard, is the same keyboard the Droid-X was using on 2.1 Eclair?
I'm looking at both the one released as the Droid-X keyboard (Eclair), the white one and the one from CM6 which is black, they look the SAME to me other then color. Both are multi-touch etc too.
I'll have to check out that thread. Just leaving work so I'll check when I get home.
No Problem. Just trynna Help

The Droid X keyboard is a customized version of the stock Android 2.1 keyboard.
The CM6 keyboard IS the stock Android 2.2 keyboard.
The 2.2 keyboard has the feature that lets you drag up to get the number row, this isn't CM6 specific. I don't remember the CM6 keyboard supporting multi-touch, I think I even tried.
The newest swype beta came out a few weeks ago and I simply don't use it becaues it's so damn ugly, hah. Has anyone themed it yet? I find that the swype beta works WAY better for me for some reason, so I don't want to push the official to my phone. I've tried moving the app to the proper locations for the existing Metamorph themes to act on it, but it always ends up breaking swype (it didn't used to). AFAIK, the current themes at the moment only work on the old betas and the "official" for sense roms. Anyone know of themes for the latest beta?
For the record I'm on CM7 RC3.
Well... still no luck in my own search, but this thread was updated by the OP today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880062&page=25
So hopefully we'll have something soon. Surprised so many people are just dealing with how ****ty the swype beta looks
I have been seeing a few new Andriod users out there that are unfamiliar with the way things work (software wise). One annoying repetitive complaint is "I installed a custom rom and now my swype is gone!ZOMGWTF!"... Well DUH you formatted you phone and installed over anything that was originally your phone...
But fear not PC challenged newbs, there is a simple solution:
Sign up for Swype Beta at beta.swype.com and install that, this info is everywhere but one more place can't hurt...
(Yellow box, vibrate, and no output with Swype enabled.)
Well now here come the other typical complaints (and solutions),
"Now I have to select Swype as user input everytime I want to type or it doesn't work, pfft FAIL!!!"
(Solution 1: Do not install to Swype as an App2SD and be sure it resides on your phone like a good little app.
Solution 2: Using a root uninstall application (or manually) remove the gingerbread 2.3.3 keyboard (or other version that is not Swype).)
Re-install the gingerbread keyboard if you really want it and you are winning bigger than Charlie Sheen, the keyboard will now no longer trump the Swype and you can go about your merry way. EDIT: Some phones lose connection to the Swype library even if Swype is the only soft keyboard installed and is not on the SD card, in this case installing a second soft keyboard AFTER installing Swype will fix the issue.
"Now every reboot I have to re-select the Swype keyboard."
See Complaint #2
So basically if you want Swype with no issues, install it after ROM flash and then uninstall other keyboards using root.
Now people please quit *****ing about Swype not being inlcuded in your "favorite" ROM and take some initiative and fix it yourself.
And for those that say ... Ha ha ha, should have used Titanium Backup, you are dead WRONG and have never used Titanium Backup to restore a factory installed Swype... It won't work no matter how hard you rub Buddah's belly.
EDIT: Posted this info to keep the threads a bit more cleaner from all the non-ROM related issues people post... I'm so sorry that your phone cannot microwave my pizza while bluetoothing with a custom ROM. Hopefully someone else feels my sarcasm.
The important thing I've noticed is to just make sure the keyboard is installed onto the phone. You shouldn't have any problems with it disappearing after a reboot if it's on your phone instead of the SD. This will make it so you don't have to bother with the hassle of removing the stock keyboard.
these methods should help but i believe swype on this phone is garbage (i have big fingers), but it is helpfull my wife enjoys the swype keyboard and this helps me when i go to root her phone.
Glad to help. Hope I didn't come off too sarcastic and some people got a laugh. Also to explain why it cannot be on a ROM, it is licensed software not available under the GNU.

Use the SlideIt keyboard. It is much easier to use. You an go from tap to slide mid word and a bunch of other intuitive moves. Plus, it doesn't have the voice command button for you to accidentally hit.
I have signed up for the swype beta before and im not sure if i had it on sd or not, but when i tried typing a yellow box would come around the swype keyboard and i had to select the stock keyboard and then select the swype keyboard again for it to work right, will having it on the phone fix that?
Uninstall stock keyboard, then reinstall keyboard. Goofy I know but it works. Should be on the OP. There seems to be a bug in the software when reconnecting to the library if it is not the only or first installed soft keyboard. I had to do this as well and have not had a problem since.

inb4 "Why doesn't Swype swipe?"
Swype often doesn't swipe after you reboot your phone. The easiest way to fix that is switch your Input Method away from Swype (e.g. to the stock keyboard) then back to Swype.
If you follow my OP Swype will always work.

I uninstalled the main gingerbread keyboard and left swype as my only one and still get the no swyping error often. I had to download a kb from the market just to reinstall swype and see if it will behave now.
My Swype only works when it was installed stock kb removed and a new kb from the market was installed in that order, other ov might not require a kb installed. One of my ov phones doesn't.

theres probably an easier way. check the g2 forums. i think there is an app called swyperestore or soemthing along those lines. basically it imports your swype with your swype license to your new rom from a nandroid.
although...not sure if it would work on the v....
Anyone tried what I do on the g2? I'll try today, moving the lib file swype has and installing swype along with it makes it work on my g2.
My current fix is I used titanium backup to freeze and delete the android keyboard.when I reset the phone if swype still isn't working I freeze and unfreeze swype in titanium and it's worked every time.I'm working on changing how android associates with the keyboard to see if it's maybe still trying to use droid keys

installed swype beta. worked. rebooted blue box error. used a root uninstaller app to uninstall android keyboard. rebooted and it worked
Congrats, glad the how-to helped. Would be rough typing on this tiny keyboard without Swype or other similar program.
Anybody find themselves pressing the . instead of the space far too often? It gets kind of annoying, at least in portrait view. Also, "at" being constantly mistaken for "arty" seems kind of ridiculous. Despite that, I love swype, and this is coming from a physical qwerty junkie!
Awesome, thank you. No issues with your OP.
How do you remove the GB KB?
My swype beta didn't work, so I junked it. Now after reading this, my only question is what app or how do I remove the Gingerbread keyboard? (I don't see it as an app, is there an app that will remove it?)
Thx.
Use titanium backup.

Today when I tried to type something with Swype, it seems like the Swype dictionary got deleted. When I try to type a word with it, it does the blinking blue border. Then I turned on the text prediction, and even words like "what" don't appear in it. Nothing at all does. I haven't turned my phone off at all in the past few days, and it's charged.

Trial period has ended, what did you do to remedy this?
I know you mentioned you haven't turned the phone off for a while, but did you try to unselect, then reselect Swype? Do this by long pressing on (almost) any text input box. A popup with a "Input method" as a choice will appear. Select Touch Input. then repeat, but pick Swype this time.
For the latest beta build, you need to do this every time you power-off/restart.
After I switched the keyboards I saw that Trial Period Has Ended thing. Does anyone know how to go about upgrading like it says to do?
Happened here too. I am using xboarder's stock ROM. This just started happening this afternoon.

If you are using swype beta- Uninstall swype, launch the swype installer, follow the instructions.
If using preloaded swype- holding a text box, unselecting swype and reselecting will fix the blue box thing.

Well, I'm not using a beta swype. But it still refuses to come up and let me enter text by swiping the keyboard.

Did you try it from the settings as well? Select the normal keyboard, type something with it, then go back and reselect swype.

I'm also on Xboarder's AOSP Rom, and I tried it from the settings and that didn't work either. But I'm starting to like SwiftKey. It would be nice to find a fix for this though.
Add a new email account to your phone. Go to the swype website. Request to download beta version like you never had it before. They email you a link and a code. Worked for me.

I've tried that. Fails to install. The stock G2 roms are apparently known for that because of how swype is preloaded. (According to the swype forums anyway) Another user has reported that pushing swype (I presume from the stock rom) fixed this for him. Glad I still have that backup.

Another user of xboarder's rom pushed Swype from the T-mobile leak and the problem went away. I just did the same thing and now all is well.
I guess Xboarder used a beta release of Swype.

I think its because Swype just released a new beta. I just started having the same issue today (beta version of Swype), and similarly have not powered off or restarted my phone since last using Swype successfully. When trying to unselect/reselect Swype I got the "trial period over" error. So I uninstalled Swype and ran the installer. It gave me a message that a new installer version was available. I installed that, and re-installed Swype, and now I have the new version.

Funny, they must have just made a bunch of updates to the Swype website, because I just visited it yesterday, to try to help the OP with his problem, and all the new posts above the May 6, 2011 post (which is out of sequence) were not there yesterday.
http://swypeinc.com/news.html
One good thing to note, the bug where Swype did not work (and you had to unselect/reselect it) after a phone restart has apparently been fixed (just tested it).
Now, since the OP has Swype cooked into the ROM, I guess he will have to resort to the push method previously mentioned.
i had this issue today as well and jus update to new beta and i have to say i love it! no more annoying pop up mini window for word choice! but i always have my orignal nandroid of stock swype, so i can use SR to restore to orignal swype
Someone else mentioned this on xboarder's ROM thread. What I did to remedy the problem is use titanium back up to uninstall swype from my phone, then downloaded the swype beta from the swype email link i received last week. Works like a charm now.
Never mind. Lazy search skills at work. Coffee made me search properly.
I had the same issue. I removed the Swype that came with the rom and then installed Swype Beta.
Yeah, I took care of it that way. Took me a minute to search for it. Hooray for coffee making me remember things.
I've just got the regular Swype. I guess it's time to search for Beta. I remember a thread with it floating around somewhere.
I'm having a problem with swype too. How do you remove the swype that came with the rom? I can't seem to figure that out.
To remove/install beta, you need to be rooted (not an issue here). you must also have another keyboard (Samsung keyboard is usually there) I use titanium backup to uninstall it, but I've heard other apps can handle it.
As for installing beta. You go to their website and register for the beta, and they give you instructions on how to install it. Qbking77 has a video on the process somewhere. I'd link, but i'm mobile. Hope this helps
