How do I reload Swype?

So I thought I would try Swiftkey and didn't like it. When I uninstalled it for some reason it took out my swype. Checked in Titanium and its not even listed. Can someone tell me how to get it back?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

really? I uninstalled swiftkey and my swype remained... just to be sure, i'd go into settings > language and keyboards, and see if swype is in there... if not, go into the development forum, there's a G2 rom dump zip on the last page i believe, unzip it, and pull out the swype.apk, email it to yourself and install

Thank you, that worked perfect.

do you guys mind letting me know the title of that thread, i looked all over the last page but i dont see which one it might be

sorry, its on page 2

Thanks a ton! This worked out perfectly for me. I finally got the quick office app I've been trying to hunt down. Seriously thanks alot for the info!!

Thanks a lot. Saved my ass too. I thought I may have to reset the whole thing.

You also need to load the correct library for Swype, or it will eventually fail. Follow the instructions in this thread in the General section.
The basic idea is 1) back up /system/app/swype,apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
2) flash rom
3) push /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so to new rom
4) install swype.apk in new rom.

Re-installing sprint apps

Hey,
I rooted my phone to Quantum and I am loving it. Just one problem though, I needed navigation tonight and it epicly failed on me. Epic right? (puns )
In all seriousness I wana reinstall the sprint gps from 2.1.1 because that worked for me and didnt give me false directions or act weird and not give me anything thats turn by turn...
Someone please help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Josh

If you look in The Epic Experience ROM's OP, there should be an add-on where you could flash a .zip of all the Sprint apps.

Im not much of a noob when it comes to technology but that managed to make my head hurt more.
So correct me if Im wrong, I go to Epic Experience ROM's OP (not at all sure that is) and I can get all the sprint apps (which I only want one of o-o)
Im just looking for a gps or nav. The whole reason I got Quantum was to ditch the sprint garbage and get 2.2 but, I need a working nav and sprint has been the only one so far. The navigation on quantum fails because it cant sync or give real time turn by turn directions. So Im looking for the sprint installation of it.
I have no idea where to start (and everything I searched was useless)

You said you're on Quantum ROM in the original post, so I went to the Quantum thread and on the first post is this link: DK28 Sprint Apps
Source: Quantum ROM thread
Since all the Sprint apps are zipped up, you can probably just pick out the Sprint Navigation apk file and install that one by itself.

What he said. Just extract the .zip and look for the Sprint Navigation apk
I believe its called SN28-1100-sprint-signed.apk
Just copy that file and move it to the system/app section using root explorer on your phone.
Edit: just tried it. You dont need to move it. Just install it regulsrly

Since you're installing a lone .apk file from that zip file. You need to enable non-Market application installations. Settings > Applications > Check "Unknown sources"
Then using your phone's file explorer, stock is "My Files", navigate to where you placed the .apk file on your SD card and launch it. It should start the installation process.

i used the command navigate to (Location)

i believe the alarm part does not work cause it depends on the clock from gs3

you should try the modded apk then cause not having any of those issues with that apk.

but u have to force install that apk file by coping it to system and changing permissions
that is to hard for some people

Es file explorer, super manager are easy to use not hard at all

if you want to post the file link to the other apk and detailed instructions i will add it to op

is the link in the OP the modded apk?

no

Should I revert back to the old build.prop before flashing a different rom?

Google search apk

Hey, can anyone link me their google search apk for ICS? I have deleted mine, and can't find it anywhere in the market. Thanks a lot

Should be here.

I have done that already, but the store says my device isnt compatible. Can anyone send me their version of google search for ICS Xperia arc s?

this is the one from Gapps for ics, move to system app etc...

Thanks a lot!

Is there another way??
Cuz my device isn't rooted, and no one around rooted it it!! As after install, I get a message of "Application not installed" :'(
device is MK802 Android Mini PC
thanks mate

The apk I uploaded needs to be either pushed with adb or moved to system/app with a root file explorer. Both require root, but if you don't have root then you can't remove it either... If you're looking for an ics like search box there's one free on the market.

Thank you for uploading that, it was exactly what i was looking for... I am rooted, and moved it to sys >apps but it doesnt work... it allows me to open in and type, and things auto populate, etc... but it doesnt ever actually search, or open the browser, etc after i hit enter... ??? and whenever i try to open settings, or click on anything in it, it freezes.. any ideas?
It is UNBELIEVABLY hard to find information in this version of google search... or even another google search ics apk for that matter. But on the ROM im using, the guy replaced google search with some other, hideous, quick search application and I would like to get rid of it and put google search back on, but am unable to download from google play, i am running on ICS 4.0.3.
Thanks alot!

Have you set the right permissions? Using root explorer or similar it should be: 1st row tick read, write: 2nd and 3rd row only read should be ticked. Screenshot's from my N5, but exactly the same settings.

Yes I did that back when i was trying to make it work... but then when i rebooted the device, it disappeared from the app list in sys > app and i couldnt find it anywhere else... so basically i just flashed Google Now (velvet.apk) onto it and i got that working fine, I realized that all i really had to do was delete my old Search app that the chef put on there and then my search button automatically made google now the default search. so i figured that one out atleast, that was bothering me hahaha... so i might be getting sick of this google now already though, it's laggy as hell and sometimes doesnt allow me to push on the links it provides, and is impossible to update.... so i might have to come back to this. in which case i shall post if i get it working on my device.
thanks for your help! keep on keepin on... hahaha
EDIT: you know what im gonna try to put it on again right now... haha. this google now thing aint gonna work out... haha. but maybe now that i deleted the other search it might work... we shall see *finger's crossed*

[Request] Secret Flag Modified Google Search Apk

Question is, can someone modify the apk as below???
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-enable-voice-prompt-in-search-results-video/
Turns out, there's a secret flag within Search that lets you use the hotword, set by default to 'Google,' anywhere in search results instead of just the home Activity. By default, Search will let you say "Google" to activate voice input only in the main Search screen, after which you'd have to tap the Back button in order to use it again. It's nice, but it's not very fluid, as you have to keep touching your device.
The secret flag enables it in search results, so you can perform search after search after search without ever touching your phone or tablet.
As for the technical details, the flag is located in res/values/bools and is called hotword_from_results. To activate it, one would flip it from false to true, like so:
<bool name="hotword_from_results">true</bool>

I decompiled, made the above changes, recompiled with no errors, and got it to install but it force closes every time i try to open it. Maybe someone else can provide some insight. I used AutoAPKTool to make the edits

Cans someone resolve this? I'd do it myself but having tons of trouble getting my device to show on adb (after many tries, different methods)

I tried to make an Xposed module to patch it on the fly, but it is not working:
Code:
resparam.res.setReplacement("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "boolean", "hotword_from_results", true);
upon starting the module, I get "Resource$NotFoundException", I tried other forms of the setReplacement method but none worked. I am still new to Xposed, so maybe I am doing this in a wrong way, attached are the sources of the Eclipse project in case someone can make it work.

If someone have the source of google now apk i can do something
I don't know if it's available, or also can be made from decompiling and recompile

no you dont need source, just decompile. change the value, recompile. replace it

you dont need to import to eclipse, all you do is just decompile it and change false to true.
you're making it so complicated on your part. i already did it, going to test it now it literally takes 30-45 seconds to do.

Yes but i was in the company desktop and here i don't have acess to apktool just because my company restricts the download site as dev host rapid share etc. now at home i had decompiled changed from false to true and recompiled and signed etc etc.. so i tested and the behaviour is the same are you guys sure that it's only change to do?! i think i had all perfect if you want i can upload the "modded apk"
EDIT: it doesn't work i don't know why here is the decompiled files and its true, i recompile sign and check manifest and all ok, but after install the behavior its the same

I just modded this and got it running w/o issue.
I'm on CM 10.2 so I had to do some adjusting as there was an update installed to /data/app, with the original in /system/app.
I just uninstalled the update via the Play Store, and then moved the original (for CM it's QuickSearchBox.apk to QuickSearchBox.apk.bak), and adb pushed the newly modded apk (attached), to /system/app.
After doing all that, BOOM goes the dynamite.
Works for me, YMMV.

Are you rooted? I needed to make this a system app, as mentioned, to avoid signature conflicts, etc.
If so, I can make a zip to install to /system/app for you. I don't think it will work (as you have discovered), if you try and install as a standard app to /data/app, which is what clicking the download link and attempting to install is doing.

Please make a flashable zip, would love to try it

OK. So I didn't have any files in data/app so I went ahead and just made quixksearchbox a .bak, and pushed new one after renaming it and setting permissions. Its working great.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

Here's a flashable zip. Though, because it has to place the APK in the /system/ folder (partition), the zip (out of the box), is only likely to work on the Nexus 4, since mount points are going to differ by phone. Any other phone you'll have to modify the script.
As mentioned previously, if you want to try and flash, FIRST, be sure to uninstall 'Google Search' from the play store.
Since I don't think there is a way to move a file in edify, and I'm too lazy to include a shell script to run a move command, I instead delete QuickSearchBox.apk if it is in your /system/app/ folder (instead of backing it up if you want to restore later), and then copy over qs.apk (the modded version).
I restored to original, ran the above process on CM 10.2, and got the results expected / desired (i.e. the attached zip is confirmed working in my setup).

It works on PA 3.99. However you'll need to set voice to US English or it won't work.
