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!!!!!

Roms with swype

Are there any roms with swype preinstalled?
EDIT: Nevermind i guess not as the makers wouldn't be very happy.

I have swype, brilliant addition to my desire. I couldn't live without it now.
yeah, would be nice if it could be incorporated into a ROM
I try to add Swype on MDC r8 and always show an FC on first boot, but Swype works well and without any problem.
If you want to include it on any ROM open the ROM.zip that you want and add your Swype.apk on /data/app/, close the ROM.zip and sign it, done.

[Q] Swype pt-BR in Barebones 1.3

Anyone knows how to add Brazilian Portuguese Swype to Barebones 1.3? I Have tried a zip from my original stock rom and one from adlxmod thread (JORLA something)... at the moment i'm using switfkey, but i like swype!
Uninstall all aplications of swype (swype and swype installer) and install the beta full.
Works for me. (Only PT-PT)

How can you uninstall stock apps? I don`t see swype in managed apps, in my settings. Also trying to install romanian language for my swype.

I'm using swiftkey right now, not so fast, but it's a very good alternative. Or you can try Swype Beta (pt-PT), juste use the remove-swype*.zip from the link on my last post (on recovery), then download the beta.
I got a working pt-br swype from a brazilian defy branded by Claro.
If you still need it, I can make an update.zip and upload it to my server.
Check a small video of my Defy running JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR with PT-BR Swype.

Muito bom, obrigado, funcionando no Barebones 1.3

How do I to install a app.zip like this??
Im using a swype beta right now in portuguese-PT.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
First, you need to remove your current swype beta and swype installer.
Then go into custom recovery and install using "Install zip from sdcard" option.
God Bless =)
Finally it works ^^
it works!!!!
tk u man!!

Doesn't work. When I copy it to /system/app/ it doesn't show up, even after a reboot and when I try to install it as a regular .apk, an error message pops up.
Sorry to hear that. I've only tested it on XXJVK, so that's perhaps why it's working well for me.

Ofcourse, else it wouldn't be possible to copy the file to /system/app..
Just gave it a try. Didn't work on my I9000 either. JS8 SpeedMod kernel.
I suspect it only works on Gingerbread roms.
Hi,tks for this apk.
It's only in Chinese language?
It depends on your system language setting. When you have English (try it) it is in English. On non-English system shows Chinese chars only :-(
But fortunately there is English-Only version somewhere in XDA. Maybe not the last version, but usable.

[APP] Stock Swype | All ROMs | tested with CM7, CM9 and MIUI

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?

ask this in the thread of the rom itself. is more likely to have a answer there
I can not ask there, because i need at least 10 posts to write something in a development forum.
thanks for reply
That's already 2 ;-)

Well if you won't go to the dev, the dev goes to you. I have removed Kies and all Kies related stuff because it was bogging down on the memory.
Sorry =\
hey Kezra, another user, that can't post in DEV forum
is there some way you could give us Swype apk? you removed this keyboard in newest ROM, which is bad for me since I have to use Swype beta and it's not as accurate as normal swype.
You can find all those apps you are asking for here:

Hi, I'm on stock DXKJ5 and want to try this custom ROM out. I know that it's based on EUR ROM. Can I flash the custom ROM right away or should I first flash the stock EUR ROM?
Hi, just another note on this Rom:
I had trouble with my titanium backup, as it tried to restore swipe settings ave as mentioned before swipe is not included. Our ifs not a bug, but be aware that this might cause trouble.

Swype, TW calculator and TW calendar
Hi, I downloaded the .apks of the swype, twcalculator and twcalendar. Of course it wouldn't just install like other normal apps, so I tried to move it directly into the system/app folder.
I just won't move (or copy)! Says that some error ocurred and that it's impossible to move.
The phone has Kezra V3 rom and V6 super charger. It's rooted alright.
I miss swype... and MOST OF ALL, I miss XT9! It seems it just went away with this Version 3. Downloaded Go Keyboard but didn't really liked. The stock gingerbread keyboard with swype and full functioning XT9 is far better.
I'm considering "dowgrading" it to V2 again, I found a working download link somewhere in the V3 thread for it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

unzip the rom, place all the apps that you want in "system", "app", rezip the rom and flash it again without wipping data in cwm, that should solve your problem

Thanks a lot mate. I'm going to give it a try.
I tried to do this after the rom was flashed, with scrip manager. Just copy the app directly into the /system/app folder, however it didn't work.
I'll post my experiences back.
By the way, do you have any insight on the XT9 issue? It was a must have for touchscreen keyboards... I could live without swype, but XT9 was suppose to work with samsung keyboard... I'm confused with that.

You might want to try the ICS Keyboard... It's much better. IMHO.

Dude, thanks a lot! I tried this ICS keyboard and liked it. It's not as intelligent as the stock gingerbread keyboard used to be but it goes quite close.
I tested the SlideIT app and LOVED IT. Replaced everything else, and now KP V3 works fine for me
I can't thank xda dev enought!
