I know it's a silly question...but the tutorials said I would have a little super ninja icon in my apps after I set up super user. Not there...I want!
(Actually just wondering if anything is missing or if just symptom of Evo's.)
I DO have super user access as I completed root and unlock last night and was in the su a lot trying to find out why stuff wasn't running as smooth as tutorials implied. So I do get logged into SU and I get that # prompt.
I installed one ROM (not sure which) and my SU app icon was just a blue pound sign. But with Fresh I have the ninja.
Not that it matters, it's only in the app drawer, it's not like he stalks the home screen or the notification bar. Although, if he did, would we even know?
So...should I have something that says super user? I don't have any app that says super user. (In another thread today they said to look in app drawer for super user.)
I used the root and unlock process from unlockr.com.
I still have unrooted stock ROM...(no time last night to flash to rooted OTA ROM.)
if you just did the rooting proccess and did not flash a custom rom, then that is your problem. you are on a STOCK rooted rom. was that app there in the stock rom? nope. flash a custom rom or download in the marketplace.

Flashable .zip version of SuperUser v2.2.2.
Download file, place in root of SDCard, and then boot to recovery; flash .zip from SDCard just like you would a ROM and then reboot phone.
Presto.
Newest version of SuperUser app has been installed and ready to roll.

I did too...my real reason for asking was to make sure I didn't miss / mess up something.
Now it makes sense that the stock ROM would not have it as an app. Guess I assumed that one of the eighty files I worked with would have been it......but no.
I get it now. Tonight will be my first ROM on android. Probably do the rooted stock and do a nand backup....then go to damage control since I hear good things about it.
(Really need to figure out odexed and deodexed next I guess huh...)
Ninja come to me......
ps....THANKS for the links!!
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 am trying to install the newest update to Swype on my Defy, but I cannot get past the part on the installer that says
"Swype is not properly licened. To Fix - Press "Disable Swype" and 1) uncheck the box next to Swype then, 2) hit BACK button to return and generate license"
I cannot uncheck the box next to Swype, as there is no check box, just settings.
Any idea of how to bypass this so I can update?
Reinstall it again. Instructions should have been emailed to you. Did you uninstall your old swype first. ?

Or better still just from swype, select default key input instead of swype. Then only install the new beta swype. It can not install since you're currently using it as your default key input.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I don't think I can uninstall it first. It was installed stock on my Defy. Not sure how to remove.
Also, I did set my default input back to multi-touch keyboard. That was step 1 the installer, the next step was to uncheck the box to disable it, but there is no box.
Instructions are not via e-mail, but they are clearly written on the applications installer upon trying to install. Just the instruction does not make sense in a case where you cannot check/uncheck to disable.
Just tried as well and can't get it to install BETA Swype and can't uninstall old pre-installed swype. Looks like you need to root the phone and remove the original apk's
Yeah, I also had this issue. You do need a rooted phone (edit: I used SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse to root my phone) to be able to uninstall stock swype - i used titanium backup root.
Then install worked fine.
Now I sometimes get this issue:
'Load of EnglishUK failed' - Probably means it couldn't load my library, but not certain. Upon relaunching the app (messages in this case) it didn't show anymore.
That's why i guess it's beta. It's still better than the version that came on the stock rom.
i just went back to swype 2.51 its much better
but not for chinese
i just want to a swype which can use for chinese,but i can't find one. the swype of chinese cannot even beat QQ input at all,but i perfer Baidu input.they r for chinese.
Thanks tecjam. Yeah, I used Titanium to back up and uninstall the stock Swype incase I don't like this beta. So far so good though.
Thanks everybody for replying.
Oddly, I cannot reinstall Swype how I used to. I have the lib file as well as the Swype.apk and I would usually push it through using ADB. It got pushed successfully and I could use Swype as a NORMAL keyboard but I cannot Swype. There is a blue box around the Swype keyboard after I try to swype. Ultimately, I get a message that says the Swype was installed for a device that is not the current device that I am trying to install it on. It worked just fine on all past CM7. I realize we're on 2.3.7 now but how come it doesn't work? What was the drastic change?
I'd also like to know why it's not working anymore. I followed the same procedure I always do to restore it after installing a new version of CM, but it's not letting me swipe words.
this exact same thing happened on g-lite yesterday to me had to restore to previous rom...weird!
Edit your /system/build.prop
Back to:
ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2
ro.product.brand=tmobile
reboot...profit...
that would have been helpful last night or this morning lol. Either way it was giving all kinds of weird problems and no amount of superwiping would fix the random reboots. I only flashed g-lite to overclock boo

I use ES File Explorer... it's free in the Market. You just need to enable read/write in the Settings and you'll be ready to go. I edit mine in the way mentioned above after every ROM update. I like to use T-Mobile's My Account/My Device apps. Works perfectly. Reboot after you make the change.
Or you could just download the installer from sype beta and install swype. Pretty basic

Yeah, I was wondering why you folks don't just do that, instead of messing with ADB and editing system files.
would you be able to describe the steps in detail, the above descriptions are way to vague. Any help would be appreciated, I too have swype and it is not working properly. Thanks Greg
go to the swype beta site (make sure you uninstall all traces of swype) register and in your email you get a link for your phone...it will download an installer apk install that, start it up and it will download and install the latest swype....thats it.

I contacted Swype about this issue.
They responded and said that Swype does not (and will not) support custom ROMs of any kind. Your best bet is the beta.
See: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers)
I'm surprised it worked on CM for as long as it did. What puzzles me, is in the statement above they say its ok for devs to include Swype in roms for phones that had Swype preinstalled (same version must be provided). I may contact Swype again based on that.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
the old version of swype that i had, 1.64.x worked with cm7.0.3, but not with cm7.1.0. i downloaded the new version of swype, 3.25.x, and it works with cm7.1.0
Thanks, everyone! Took more steps than the old Swype Restore method for the RC.
My steps:
Uninstall Swype using Titanium Backup.
Download APK from Swype website (after signing up)
Install APK
Select OPEN button
Login to my Swype beta account
Enter account code (email)
Select all languages (because there was no English only option)
Open Android keyboard
Go to keyboard settings
Select Swype
Accept EULA
I got the Swype beta and hate it . I get more wrong words than the stock Swype. I've tried different settings still getting dumb words popping up.

I found the answer over on the Swype Beta forums...
I would suggest using THIS method for uninstalling your old swype
Go to Settings -> Language & Keyboard and UNCHECK Swype.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Swype Press CLEAR DATA. Then press UNINSTALL.
Go to Settings -> Applications -> SwypeInstaller Press CLEAR DATA. Then press UNINSTALL. (won't have this- maybe Swype Restore?)
Delete everything from the download directory on your SDcard
Reboot your device.
Install the update latest version of Swype. (As detailed in an earlier post)
It seems the data from the old swype was causing a problem with the latest version.
Sounds like a good habit, because if you have any trouble they will want you to do
that anyway...

Fix Model
This will install a script to fix ro.product.model, CM 10.1 uses GT-N7105 for the model this can cause a few issues with play store and what not. It also shows on xda app and tapatalk. With nightlies coming out every night its a pain to keep changing build.prop to fix so just flash this and run one command then you are set. This will help those not sure or wanting to manually edit build.prop.
This will work for any rom but it seems this issue is only on CM 10.1 because they are supporting other carriers too.
Usage:
Flash in recovery right after flashing/updating CM
Open up terminal emulator and type su be sure the $ changes to #
Then type fixit
Reboot
Profit !
On a side note you can make model whatever you want by editing the script /system/bin/fixit, change SGH-I317 to whatever you want it to be...
Enable/Disable OnScreen Keys:
These scripts will enable or disable onscreen navigation keys.
Usage:
Flash zip in recovery right after flashing/upgrading cm
Open terminal emulator type su be sure $ changes to #
Type keyson to enable onscreen keys or keysoff to disable them
Reboot
Profit !
Note: These will work with ANY rom Touchwhiz or AOSP builds !!

I have tried this on several different installs - and it works beautifully each time. Thanks for your help with this - a great tool for those 'Flashaholics' amoung us who need to be able to re-identify their phone - thanks again -

Currently running JellyBam 4.2.1 and having trouble getting voicemail to work. Would flashing this, changing my model name back to I317, possibly create a fix?
Fixed the permission problems in the OP redownload the build.prop.onscreen.keys and flash i didnt set the perms in the zip sorry
Let me know if it fixed the issue please.

I know this would make it non-universal, but was just curious.
OP, is it possible to get PCs to recognize our phones as 317 instead of 7105? If there's a way, I'll be all over it.
I unfortunately heavily rely on Kies to sync my Outlook contacts with my phone, and no, I don't like having my contacts only in GMail and running the risk of my address book going blank somehow if data or reception in general cuts out for me, since if that ever happens, I can at least use my phone as an address book to make phone calls through another device. And Kies doesn't seem to want to finish "establishing connection" with my phone... :\

Just FYI, once your contacts are on Google and synced with the phone they won't ever disappear, on the phone or online, unless you delete the account or make changes. Even with no connection you can view them on your device, and they can be exported to a csv file if you want an actual hard-list on your computer as well as the phone. I made the switch from outlook about a year ago & have never looked back. Although I did set up a separate Google account so their location & ad data doesn't ever mingle with my contacts.
