Hi there,
I removed the swype that came with our phones as I wanted to try downloading/installing the version from swype beta website (hoping it would not have the bug where it doesn't put a space after I, a etc).
It wouldn't work so now I cant get swype.
Can someone please help a brother out and send me (pm) the swype.apk from the Samsung Epic Touch 4g.
Much apprecaited!!!

Good luck . . . I got the swype beta to work for a bout a day and then it started giving me all sorts of errors, ended up switching to swiftkey X

I installed Swype beta and have been using it for a couple days with no problems whatsoever.
Did you actually use the Swype installer, or did you just try to copy in the Swype.apk?
After you delete the factory Swype.apk, I had to switch to the default keyboard, then go into task manager and kill the Swype process. THEN I ran the swype installer apk. I got a brief warning that said I was replacing a system app, but that was it.
Been enjoying properly spaced single words ever since.

I used to like the default Swype skin on the Epic, but once the Beta came out, I've been using that one since.

I first uninstalled swype.apk from applications.
Then I downloaded the installer, logged in and downloaded the swype application... At that point it just started force closing on me...
Any thoughts?

make sure you delete /system/app/Swype.apk AND system/lib/libswypecore.so or something like that, THEN use the Swype installer. Otherwise it will just say it's installed, but it really won't

A factory reset will not reinstall swype if the user deleted the app from /system. All factory reset does is wipe /data and /cache.
This approach works with non-smart keyboards.
1. Install your preferred keyboards from Market
2. Use ES file explore (with Root feature and RW mount enabled in the advanced setting) or use Root Explorer to copy the keyboard .apk file from /data/app to /system/app
3. Reboot and select the keyboard by pressing and holding at any text input box.
4. (optional) Sideload and install "Nookcolor Tools" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868366. You will have an option to set keyboards.
So far this method does not work with
- SlideIt
- Thumb keyboard (thanks fr4nk1yn)
Confirmed! Thanks aruangra, it's quite easy. No need to tweak DB file!
not sure why nooktools is needed. I saw no option to change the keyboard in it.
copying to /system/app armed to allow the option change but add thumb keyboard to the list of non-working ones.
anyone know if this works for Swype?
This is great! Didnt even think to look in the nook section

Thanks. NookcolorTools has a button to change keyboards. As you said, Nookcolor Tools is optional. I updated the guide above.
I tried using Simply Gingerbread keyboard, just FCs as well.
If any of these keyboards create a lib in /data/data/name_of_app/lib, you may need to copy it to /system/lib

anyone who installed thumb keyboard on their KF have issues uninstalling the app?
Swiftkey Phone and Tablet version work great, along with Hacker's keyboard (all functions of the apps work.) After you do the above steps, make sure to copy the lib files from /data/data to /system/lib as mentioned in a previous post. Once you do this, the program see's that it is installed and will continue with the setup.
I used the NOOK controls with root/superuser enabled to auto-select the keyboards it may or may not be a requirement. For swift, I was able to get both versions registered and fully working minus the Google search recognition because I can't find where to get the .apk without it going to the amazon app store. I also tried Swype and while the interface loads properly on the kindle, it does not function right and constantly closes whenever you hit a button.

This is the exact problem I'm having preventing me from using it.
I used the nook app as well, but when you are in a typable area, just long pressing brings up the keyboard changing option.
I hadn't tried it prior to installing the nook app, but I know that's always been available on my phone.

I have the same problem. I had never used Swiftkey tablet before, so didn't know for sure about swiping down to mvoe the keyboard, but I tried it, and it didn't work.
It's extremely important to also move the lib files as described earlier in the thread. Without this, you will only get FC.

I didn't touch any lib files and I didn't have any FCs. And if the minimize doesnt work for you, we can probably assume not a lib file issue then.

Just wanting to start a list as to which apps/files have been been checked to see if after removing won't mess up the phone. I want to debloat this as much as possible
I've removed all at&t apps except smart wifi
removed Polaris office, live wallpapers, Facebook, city ID
want to remove YP but it says LG YP and looks like there is some link to it from the contact book that may break, if someone has already done that please post.
Not going to touch any Google apps yet since looks like some are getting security errors on reboot

You have to root it and then use titanium backup to remove or freeze apps.
Better to freeze them first to make sure you don't delete something that will cause issues later.
Hope this helps.

Not a good idea at all until we have usable recovery. As linked above, some of the apps are intertwined tightly within the lg security and you will lock down your phone if you remove the wrong app. The linked poster removed Google Movies and that borked his phone.
Freezing is fine for me for now. It is not as if the bloat is causing lag, this phone is fast.
The security issue seems to be happening if Google apps were tampered. I've removed every AT&T app except myAT&T along with the Browser and Email app and even the EasySettings, and haven't gotten the security screen.
I removed most of the ATT Apps. Also got rid of LG YP. All it did was make it so the yp link in contacts doesn't work. Just an error message, no force closing.
Also added 4.2 keyboard and camera as well as SVoice. Replaced LGs weird browser with stock ICS. Loving this thing so far.

No go, moved it to /system/app, chmod 644, deleted /data/dalvik-cache and rebooted. Still Force closes. Any chance you can share your APK? Mine is supposed to be from the GSM Galaxy Nexus but you never know...
EDIT: Nevermind, just grabbed a Browser.apk off some random CyanogenMod 9 ROM. Didn't like it moved to /system/app, but took it fine when sideloaded as a regular APK. Go figure.
Wow, Google should've kept this browser. It blows Chrome out of the water in terms of smoothness and functionality.

We should make a list of what we are freezing/removing.
Also, I've been trying to get the browser trick to work all morning... no dice. I can't even get it to show up. Had my friend send me browser.apk from his AOKP rom, and just realized its Jelly Bean.... might be the problem. Haven't tried the camera trick yet..

Ok I got the browser working. Used CM9 rom. Its sooooo fast. I've uninstalled Firefox, and Chrome... Now on to find the camera from 4.2
Ok, I can't get the 4.2 camera working to save my life. It FCes everytime I try it. The gallery is working fine. Used the files from here:

Maybe it's since the JB upgrade, but my keyboard keeps resetting to the Default Samsung 3, from Swiftkey 3. Could also have been from installing the Swiftkey Flow beta.

I think if you go to the buglist at swiftkey.net you'll find you aren't alone. I'm using the Swiftkey Flow beta and this problem hasn't occurred...yet. You can turn of the Flow feature and it becomes a regular Swiftkey keyboard.
I use Smart Keyboard Pro off of the market and the same thing keeps happening to me. By that I mean I don't use swype and my settings keeps rolling back to the regular keyboard.

Could you describe how this is happening? Does it switch keyboards after you use a certain app, or does it just switch at random times? One thing you could try is to disable all other keyboards under applications. This way, the phone has to keep using your keyboard.
Happens for me after a reboot. Always goes back to Samsung keyboard. Once I change to SwiftKey, it stays that way until the next reboot. As others have said, seems like a bug between JB and SwiftKey 3 (without Flow beta)
It happens every time I restart and then it would happen randomly while using the phone. I thing Task Manager by Rythm Soft was killing Smart Keyboard but I got it on the ignore list now; and so far it seems limited to the restart. It's not possible to disable Swype or the Samsung Keyboard. They are greyed out on the list.
To the O.P. you should check any task managers to be sure Swype isn't being killed.

Anyone try this, and what does it default to if you do remove the Samsung Keyboard? I have several inputs, WiiMote, PS3, etc. If I have to keep changing the default back to Swiftkey, then this option would get annoying.

This is a known bug with JB 4.1.x.....
Swiftkey has it mentioned in a bug list as well as Google in a bug list...
It has something to do with apps getting installed differently and storing app data differently with JB. When a phone reboots the storage location for that app's data is not mounted or available right away so the app can't load and therefore the phone switches to the default keyboard.
Happens with a few other apps like AT&T Vooicemail Viewer.
The work-around is to root the phone, backup the app with Titanium Backup, uninstall the app, then restore it without data. Then set the keyboard as default and it should stay that way after re-boots.
Good luck!

Might wait for Google or Swiftkey to fix the bug. If I restore without the data, then I lose all the words Swiftkey has learned.
This is really odd. A few weeks ago I downloaded the SwiftKey Flow Beta and this problem disappeared. That is, after a reboot my default keyboard would stay on SwiftKey Flow Beta. But yesterday SwiftKey released the official version 4 with Flow integrated. And now the problem is back - reboot makes Samsung Keyboard as default.
So what did the Beta do that was so special that it would stay after a reboot??

It's a change in the way Jellybean handles how Google Play apps are loaded during boot process, since they happen after the keyboard gets loaded, it reverts to default.

correct. since the play store installs apps in a location (on your JB device) that is not immediately scanned during the first part of boot up, thats why the stock keyboard is loaded. however, to fix this on my wife's unrooted/stock S3, i found the actual swiftkey apk then downloaded and installed it onto the phone. this placed the apps info in the correct storage location that is seen on boot up. i do not condone downloading apps you have not paid for however i did this for her as she and i have both paid for swiftkey on all our phones/tablets when it initially released on the play store. i dont have this swiftkey issue on my s3 as it is running a custom rom. cheers

Sorry if this was already covered...but I read a post at the Swiftkey site that the issue is with Paid apps on JB. Not all paid apps of course...but some paid apps like Swiftkey install to this special storage location that is not available soon enough during the boot process.
The 4.x Swiftkey beta was not a paid app so it worked...now that the beta is released it is a paid app and the Swiftkey 4.x release in Google Play has the issue again on JB just like 3.x did.

You probably already know about this but to back up my app data I used helium from clockwork mod. It doesn't require root and all you need to do is enable USB debugging. That's what I used to back up my game data and other things when I switched from my one m9 to the 10.
For my call logs and text messages I used SMS backup and restore which worked flawlessly. The only thing left to do after that was to export my contacts to my SD card and I was set to go. It took me about 25 minutes to get everything up and going on the new phone not including system updates and application updates of course which you can't avoid
I hope that helps out some
Thanks, I am aware of helium but thought it may be a bit of a hassle. I'm used to titanium backup, LG has its own awesome backup utility.
Not too sure about flashing twrp/root yet as it stops OTA updates. So left with custom rom and wait for that rom to get OTA included. Looking forward to custom roms, custom kernel, heavy debloating, easy backup and restore. Still not sure how you flash HTC 10 back to stock!

In my experience helium is not a hassle to use at all. If you've never used it before you basically turn on USB debugging install the app from the play store and install the application from the website on your computer. After you do that plug your phone into your computer and launch the application on your phone. It then comes up with a list of all the applications on your phone, you can either press select all or individually select the applications you would like to back up. Once you do that you push a button and a few moments later everything is done.
One thing to note is that it creates a folder named carbon on the root of the internal storage of the phone, just remember to move that folder over to your SD card before you start experimenting with anything that may require wiping the phone. I have used titanium backup in the past as well and while the helium method may not be just as easy it is the absolute best solution out there for people that don't already have a rooted device

Just a heads up. Do not delete TouchPal like i did. My phone asked for the password for encrypted data at boot - it hadn't loaded the google keyboard, and as I deleted touchpal from system I had no keyboard! Only option was to restore. I've now left touchpal (minus all the language packs) in my rom, for some reason Google keyboard couldn't be moved to system. Oh well.

Yeah. Disable touchpal doesn't stop force install on language packs. I'm disappointed there's no option to remove this on play store.
