[Q] Nexus Swype? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone gotten a hold of the new swype for the Nexus S?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=SNNoEgY5emg
It looks nice and the new features are pretty cool.

did you try to get it through http://sprint.swype.com/android/get/ yet?

Yeah it didn't work

how far did you get with it? because you need to uninstall the stock swype app before attempting to install. I haven't tried to install this one but I assume it's similar to installing swype beta, which I have had success with.

I tried uninstalling it and everything but you just get stuck with the original swype, the ugly one from the Evo and what not. Thankfully I backed up the samsung swype

That's because the swype installer installs the swype for the device its on.... you need to get the actual swype.apk from the nexus s forums lol.... I tried to do it to but I realized it wasn't gonna work after reading the swype instructions......

Wonder if you change the build.prop if it would work.

That's probably it. But the thing which I'm curious about is what will happen once we switch our build.prop back.

How would one go about changing their build prop to NS4G?

We'll u would need the build.prop from an ns4g on ur comp or sdcard...(probably have to download rom) and open both in text edit. It will probably be the lines before # end build properties.
Should look like this:
ro.build.description=SPH-D700-user 2.2.1 FROYO EC05 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=sprint/SPH-D700/SPH-D700/SPH-D700:2.2.1/FROYO/EC05:user/release-keys
Copy/paste the same lines from the ns4g build.prop.

Here is one i modified from the EH06 build.prop...
I am making a nandroid backup now before i try it out.
If anyone else wants to try it here it is.

From what I read on nexus s forums they check carrier also somehow
But since most if us are on sprint were good

Did you get it to work? Swype thinks I have a Nexus S but I still remain having the regular beta version.

I just installed the new swype on my gf's nexus s 4g and it looks nice but she wont let me root her phone so I can't pull the swype apk out :/

This is exactly why I wish I had an upgrade. I was gonna take advantage of the free nexus deal and use it as my little Root toy and keep the Epic as my actual phone.

google it... i went to google and type in swype and you can go to their website and get it, looks pretty good to

Did not work for me with my build prop edit... you suggestion here will just get you the beta ... not the sprint version.
P.S even if a user of a nexus S 4g shared the APK it would not work as it licenses it per device...

I somehow missed the word live. Sorry.
/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk probably.
The only way I know to use it in another rom would be to mount the /system partition as read/write and push that apk over top of the existing one. But I do not know what that might or might not break, or even work at all.

any ideas? I need the CM6 default live n1 wallpaper!
I got them working on my desire by using adb. I downloaded cm6, extracted the livewallpapers from system/app and put it in androidsdk/tools and used this command :
adb remount
adb install -r livewallpapers.apk
and voila! got my lovely livewallpaper. if anyone wants just the livewallpapers.apk i can share it.
Thanks cyanogen.
after a reboot i lost the cm6 ones so i ended up pushing them to the phone and that made em permenant. now i just need cm6 boot animation.
The new version with the x. its hard to find
You could also download the NexusMod Live Wallpaper off the Market.
The one in cm6 is different. Its got 4 extra backgrounds an 3 new colours.
The new backgrounds are what i wanted. I prefer them :

Here you go.

It's called LatinImeGoogle.apk.
Here it is.
If that one doesn't work for you(some people say it doesn't, but it did for me) try the LatinIME.apk.
Have you tried Better Keyboard? I use it and like it a lot better than the stock one and its also customizable

Alright, I decided to try this for myself, and after trying both of these, and half a dozen other methods, I cannot seem to get it to work on this ROM, either.
Hopefully someone more informed than myself(shouldn't be very hard to find one of them) will come along and help us both out.

I tried it for one day. It is much better than I thought it would be but still not for me. I think I would love it if it were virtualized. What I mean is if each id ran in its own space so that everything installed on that ID was only visible while you were in that ID. The way it works is if you install 6 id's than all of the apps, backgrounds etc can be seen from the default Touchwiz launcher. That may be great for some it just isn't for me.

Flashplayer 11.1.115.27 no icon mod ;)

This flashplayer is the latest that's in ROMs now but is modded to have no annoying icon in the app drawer! I liked it so I figured i'd share. Just install it like a regular apk, but if the install fails then erase the one in your system then install this one like a regular apk. Enjoy
Thanks again... truth77 I needed this one..how the heck you find this good stuff..lol
Thank you kindly

Tried this one and it didn't work. (11.1.115.27) I uninstalled and tried a previous version I had backed up (11.1.115.20) and it works! Tested on several Adobe test websites and all worked.

SecMMS MOD From T-Mo GSIII

Would THIS work for our phone? I am running JediX12 ROM but Im assuming it would work for any ROM and work in general as I poked around inside the apk with ninjamorph and an xml editor and found all the needed things to change. I just cant seem to get it to work and I would really love this mod simply for the SCREEN ON/OFF toggle. I hate that the screen turns on with a text and right now Im using SMS Pop Up to band-aid the problem but this would be a permanent fix! I'm sure other users would love this feature too! Plus there are a bunch of other cool features that could be implemented too, idk why Samsung didn't do this off the bat! Could someone with more experience upload a modified APK for me/all of us?
Thank you
Anyone have any ideas?
Well I know the screen on/off bit works on the T-Mobile UVALL4 4.1.1 SecMms (it's included in Tweaked fwiw), so I would imagine it to work on the international-based ones as well.
I figured it would work but I didn't know for sure. Problem is I can't figure out how to do it...I tried following the directions and I just can't figure it out I can't get the app decompiler to work. I messed with the xml using NinjaMorph on my phone and the things are there to make this work but I don't know how to do it. Maybe I will download Tweaked and just pull the apk out of there.

You are on JediX12 yes? How about post that SecMms.apk here and I'll just mod it for you and you can see if it works? My opinion is it's better to stay on the same base/build with this sort of thing - though that's nothing more than my opinion.
