I really didn't think it was going to work I'm suprised it didn't cause a boot loop. I flashed a themed Swype from the Galaxy SII forums. First boot took really really long but it worked lol
MOD Edit: due to a C&D from Swype, themed and separate releases are not allowed on XDA
I'm running Starburst 1.98r
swype theme
i have done a few swype themes i'll try to remember to post them up when i get home.
Yes please I'm tired if the same look.

I first move the inputmethod.apk from /data/apps to /system/apps (rename it to make sure it has no -1 or -2), reboot my phone, then apply the update through metamorph, click apply, then reboot my phone again. After the phone loads up and I go to Language & Settings, Swype doesn't exist, but it's still installed on my phone. Any ideas? I'm completely lost.
You have to have swype on the phone in the first place. What release of myns are you running because swype only comes with rls 5. If you are running anything before that it wont work because that it just to put a theme on your already existing swype. It doesnt add swype, it just changes how it looks. (which is quite nice might I add)
i am running myn's new release of rls5. before i tried metamorph i downloaded swype from my beta invitation in my email. is that the incorrect way to do it?
What version is the swype? And shouldn't you be naming it Swype.apk with a cap S. I made a video explaining how to apply themes but idk if that's what you're looking for.

I know that on Myn's RLS5, all you have to do to change the input method is go to any text box and then long press. It will then bring up "input method". click on that, then choose swype. I don't think it will change anything if you downloaded metamorph, but downloading the swype beta may have changed something. The swype Myn has included with his RLS 5 is the same one from the latest update from Sprint.
I guess if all else fails, start fresh? Wipe everything.
Hope this helps

thank you this helped a ton but i realized i posted in the wrong forum. i'm trying to theme my swype on my DINC. still having trouble
I have read over some of the other threads asking similar questions, but my situation is a little different.
I have been running MIUI for a while, but now it says that my Swype beta has run out of time. I like the version of Swype that has the talk-to-text button. I have read that Myn's ROM doesn't actually have Swype, it just themes it. The only issue I have with this is that it no longer works on any ROM I try, except for Myn's.
Can I get Myn's version off of his ROM, I like it more, or is there some way I can get the old one to start working again? I have also read about removing some Swype files, can't find them where it tells me to look, and I have removed it using Titanium backup.

update your swype. that's it.
beta.swype.com/android/get
You should be able to go on the swype website and install the beta, it has the speech to text button.
I did the beta, but it still won't swype. I can type, but I can't swype.

Are you sure you tried the latest Beta? I had this problem yesterday with an older version of Swype that was themed. I uninstalled Swype, Installed the Swype installer app and let it update. Then I downloaded and installed Swype using the Swype Installer app. It works no problems. I lost the theme for it, but it works nonetheless. I am sure there's a way to pull the Swype from Myn's Rom and put it in yours, but it is not as simple and pulling the .apk and installing it on MIUI. You have to pull other things in System files and push them via ADB. I am sure you could find your answer on how to do this here because I know you are not the first person I have seen ask this question and I know that you question has been answered.

I got a themed Swype from the Elite rom (black) which also has the mic. Here's what I did.
Download Sense rom to your computer.
Unzip the rom
Copy from the rom /system/ app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so onto your computer.
Using ADB, push the apk to /system/app on your phone
Push libSwypeCore.so to /system/lib on your phone.
If you really don't like ADB, I guess you can root explorer but I don't have that app. I find it easier and faster to use adb.

Hi all,
here's how to use the new Swype beta v3.0 with awesome new features:
1. Backup your existing Swype version with Titanium Backup.
2. Uninstall your existing Swype with Titanium Backup.
3. Go to http://beta.swype.com/ , sign up and complete all the steps.
4. Complete!
That was easy
(Even though the Swype website states, that it isn't possible to use this new version on devices that came preinstalled with Swype...)
downloaded and working fine
But it only lasts 6 months before dying completely (I'm an old Archos original swype beta man) - so perhaps best to wait for "official" upgrade.
thank you js...i tried it before i read your post and somehow missed the warning about not installing...anyway thanks to your post, i tried it and it is AWESOME!! by the way, what was major c meaning when he said it would be only for 6 months? do it get disabled automatically? if so, can we go back to the old version cause we had saved it in titanium? kindly guide.
What changes it includes from the old swype??
Yeah if you read the beta sign up agreement biff it expires after 6 months. There will likely be an update before that happens though, so it's a rolling thing.
Is the update that much better than what we have on galaxy sii stock though? I.e. is it worth it?

OMG!! trust me guys...this is just awesome...no! really unbelievably A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!
the keyboard has been upgraded in the landscape version...the space bar is made a bit small so that it fits comfortably for the thumb (if need be)...the word replacement is excellent and its just like the android stock keyboard word suggestor (no pop up windows). the accuracy is wonderfull...i had started out only recently and i could do a fair but of speed too...all in all it is a must have
HOWEVER!! (isnt that always so)
i had to go back to the stock swype cause i have having problems...like it just stopped working...but when i had it it was a world of fun...its certainly worth a try and going back to the stock is very easy with titanium please do yourselves a favour and try it
I try to uninstall swype using Titanium Backup but I get "Cannot Mount" error. I am uninstalling it wrong by using the bottom option on the long hold?
Nevermind, just used Root Explorer and did it manually.

yes you did it wrong, just click apps once, quickly, then choose un-install.
The long press stuff is not needed.
The new Swype is AMAZING. I love that the suggestions do not pop up on the screen any more. There is just a suggestion bar like the default keyboard

But how about the languages? Is there a way to get danish to Swype 3 beta?
This Keyboard is great, damn good find.
Thank you very much!
So I backed up, uninstalled and installed perfectly, no issues. When the phone is restarted, the licensing check fails because the SGS II uses some kind of quick boot which withholds information swype needs on boot. Tried wiping data for swype and installer, the only way to get it working again was to reinstall swype (not installer) let me know if anyone else has replicated this issue. From what I have read, this is the issue with a couple of samsung and htc phones.

I had the same problem.
So I ran the swype installer again, and it said it needed to be re-licensed. I did all it wanted, and it still didn't work.
So I then used titanium pro to uninstall the swype app (not the installer) and THEN used the installer to download and install swype AGAIN.
That worked.
But what was different now is that I turned my phone OFF, and restarted it - and swype is still licensed!
Villain rom 1.4, tegrak overclock.
Maybe using the reboot option stuffs up the license on some roms; try turning the phone OFF and restarting it.

Interesting point. Restart may use some kind of warm boot so it's quick?
I dont wanna interject this comment here, but I have not posted enough to put this where it belongs. I usually just read alot of what is said.
Here is my q. Where to I find the(epic or asop) zips that will change the lockscreen (not the 9 mod) and how do I get the text on the phone back to the way it was on the last rom?
There are no zips provided by random for just the different lock screens. You can use different default locks under settings>location and security. You can also use stuff like widget locker from the market for more lock screen choices. Random posted a link to one of qbking's vids about changing fonts a few days back. He said he may post a link in the op to return to the previous font soon, but I do not know which one it was. The old font seemed to cause a bit of an issue with the latest facebook app not looking proper all the time. There are many different apps including rom toolbox that can change fonts to whatever you like.

I too installed the Thunderhawk 3.3 ROM, and I don't have enough post to put this in the developers section, so I figured this would be a good spot to consolidate my post.
Issue: Phone will no longer ring. Goes right to Voice mail.
Carrier: Sprint
Phone: Samsung Epic
I've created the folders as suggested, and added the ring tones. Maybe the issues was the way I reinstalled everything? I had ACS ICS installed before this ROM. I used ACS Recovery v1.0.0.5 pre-rom install wipe, Installed the Thunderhawk 3.3 ROM zip. But then after the phone booted I used Titanium Backup and did the restore all system/app data. Any help would be appreciated!
Please disregard...Ended up re flashing and just installed certain apps with Titanium Backup. Seems to be working now.
Hi everyone!
This is my first post on XDA, even though I've been lurking for a couple of weeks now. Anyways, I recently upgraded Blazer ROM from version 3.5 to 3.6 (yesterday) and 3.7 (today).
On both 3.6 and 3.7, I've had a problem with my Swype. I use Swype Beta that I downloaded directly from their website. On Blazer v3.5, Swype worked perfectly. However, on the newer versions, when I try to use the keyboard, I get the message "Open of EnglishUS failed!".
I've tried a soft reset and nothing happened. If I revert back to v3.5 (which I have a Nandroid back-up of), the keyboard starts working again.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
P.S. It would probably be better for me to post this on the actual Blazer thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363071) but I don't have enough posts to post in the Dev section. Can anyone highlight this to PhantomHacker please? Thanks .
P.P.S. I searched and saw that some other people have had this problem in the past with Swype. However, I don't know of anyone having this problem with the E4GT or this version of Swype Beta.
I hope you all can help. Thank you very much!
did you use titanium backup to back up all user apps and system data? If so, use it to re-install swype. Thats what I do

Yeah, I still have the Swype Installer on my phone and have tried using Titanium Backup to delete Swype and reinstall it. Nothing changes though
Have you tried fully uninstalling it?
You could try updating it, follow this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEmnfY6ayqc
qbking77 is the best for anything you might come across with your Epic Touch.
As far as I know, I have the latest version. But anyway, I resolved the problem. I kept uninstalling and reinstalling using Titanium Backup like three times and then it worked the third time O_O. I also deleted all traces of Swype off my phone.
Not really sure why it worked just that one time, but fixed. Thanks
