I am running the latest Blazer rom and after I install Swype beta it doesn't open when the keyboard is suppose to.
Any ideas?

I pushed the Swype from syndicate ice rom and all of the sudden I had the same problem I used root explorer went back to the apk and installed it again and now it's working again hopefully this helps?

Use titanium to uninstall, then try again. For some reason I had to do it twice though.

After uninstalling with Titanium Backup, reboot the phone then install the Swype Beta. Works for me every time.

Ah the reboot is probably why i needed to do it twice. Thanks.

Another option
Another thing to try is use Root Explorer to delete the libswypecore.so file from system/lib/ I had to do this and then install the new beta and then it works.

[MOD]No increasing ring tone - LJ2 - i317

Well I'm not sure why Samsung does this, however it drives me nuts. So here is the phone.apk without the increasing ringtone stuff.
Flash in recovery.
You must delete the "SecPhone.odex" in /system/app after installing. Until I can make a time to have the zip do it. Thanks

Enjoy!

I was looking for a way to disable this.. thanks!

Thanks man.. awesome mod...needed this

I flashed from recovery, rebooted and it said updating apps,starting apps, had my wife call but it still does that lame ascending ringtone. I tried rebooting and now every time it reboots it says updating apps, starting apps.. sucks lol takes a little longer to start up now. Any way to fix? I also found the file you talked about deleting but it said it was read only.

Wow I was waiting for this mod!!! Sham on you Sammy for making this wonderful Dev make it right. I for sure didnt forget to hit the thanks button on this one!

Worked like a charm. Had to delete the odex file, then the mod took. A cache/dalvik wipe took care of the "upgrading apps" screen. My ringtones start loud and stay that way. Many thanks!

Are you running a custom ROM? If so, you're probably already deodexed.

OK. I got ya. I still get the "updating apparently" on restart. I have cleared caches.

Not sure I can be of much more help if you're on a deodexed ROM already. I've stuck with rooted/de-bloated stock for the time being. Wiping the caches solved it for me, aside from the first boot after the cache wipe, of course, but I'm still fully odexed aside from that one file I deleted.

It worked for me this time, thinfs different from the first try, im now on the lite de-bloated stock rom and modded kernel

So it looks like I need to modify the zip install to remove the .odex file.
Makes sense since de-odexing turns the .odex into a classes file inside the apk, which is then edited. I'll edit the zip today to remove to .odex file.

Did this ever get done, sir?

antiochasylum said:
Flash in recovery. Even if you aren't de-odexed this should still work. In the zip I did not have it delete the .odex extension in /system/app. So after you flash this feel free to delete the SecPhone.odex, or leave it, your choice.

I installed and it did not work. I then used Root Explorer to delete /system/app/SecPhone.odex, cleared caches, rebooted and it works fine.
Thanks for the utility it was greatly needed.

I fully agree with you, this volume increase doesn't make any sense however, is there a way to revert back to the previous state should something go awry? Thanks.

4.2 apps package

For those that don't want to fully update to 4.2 but want some of the benefits... check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991734&page=20
Note-- I didn't flash this zip, I extracted the contents and installed the ones that I wanted
The only thing that isn't working correctly for me is the photosphere

If I were to extract the updates that I want, would that be done on the tablet or do I hook up to my PC? I'm not sure how to do this. Do i just flash them once they are extracted or are they apk files and i just load them? Can you point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

Actually I'm finding it is just easier to flash the zip. It works fine provided you have busybox installed. If there are apps you don't want to install, just delete the apk from the zip (yes they are apk files)
the reason I suggest this is because some of the apks have lib (.so) files associated with them (the gallery, for example, dosent work correctly without its libs)
Extra note the updater script in the zip will remove gallery, stock keyboard and deskclock.apk

I flashed the zip and now every time I try and go into settings of the clock or set a timer, I get a FC.

[App] MyScript Mobile - Updated 22/11/2012

Based on the mod for the Xoom tablet and the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet, here is the MyScript Notes Mobile app for the Note 2.
This mod is based on the port for the Xoom, but the script is redone to account for the different file system in the Note 2. Enjoy.
Feedback is appreciated while this is being worked on. This currently only works on Touchwiz ROMs. You must be rooted with a custom recovery.
Version 1 is for AOSP ROMs.
Version 2 is for TouchWiz ROMs.
Installation:
1. Read the FAQ in the next post.
2. Download the zip and transfer it to your phone's microSD card, if necessary.
3. Boot into recovery.
4. Flash the zip.
5. Wipe cache and dalvick cache.
6. Reboot and enjoy.

FAQ
1. Why doesn't the wheel appear when I write a note freehand and then try to convert it afterward?
Currently, the only solution to this is to factory reset (wipe /data) to clear the lib data and allow this to function properly. Use the updated V2 where this is fixed.
2. Why do the first few pen strokes look bolded, then change to thin strokes?
This seems to be an issue in the apk itself. I'm not entirely sure what's causing it, but there is no current fix for it. It doesn't harm anything, it just look weird at first.
3. How do I install this?
See the first post.

looks like a cool app
the video reminds me of someone writing in a diary or journal...i suppose that would be a cool way to use it..an electronic diary
the zip is flashable? you cant install the app with an apk?

This is cool someone asked about it b4 I got it to install by using root explorer and copying over the .libs. The app works very well at changing your handwriting to "normal" text It would get about 90+% of the words correct. Thanx Cajun
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

I'm betting that there are some lib files that are fighting, since S Note installs some that are named identically. It might not hurt to revise the file names within the libs, but fixing the references after that could be a pain.
The app is darn good, but not perfect. It inserts full carriage returns at the end of each line instead of just wrapping a single line.
It is my go-to S Pen app, since the HWR in S Note is so kludgy.

I see. I'll have a look at that thread and see what can be done.

@Owen
I did figure out what is causing the wheel not to appear. The MyScript libs are already built into the Note2 TW ROMs for the S Note app. When my zip is flashed, it overwrites the existing libs, but leaves behind the data file for them, causing some minor glitches. I don't see any way to fix the bolded lines at the beginning of the notes, though. I'll see if I can locate the data files and have the zip clear them. The existing libs are newer than the zip.
The problem is because other devices did not rely on the MyScript engine for transcribing text like the Note 2 does. S Note is built on top of this functionality.

Looks good, keep up the good work. Will give this a through testing when I'm home from work.

I was worried that the MyScript app was overwriting the libs. We need to update the MyScript zip to change the names of those libs, and fix all the internal references. If we overwrite lib files that S Note uses, we might get unexpected results.

Actually, it should work fine without the Myscript libs. The ones already installed should be fine. Try this zip and see if it works. This zip does not have duplicate libs or overwrite anything.
To test this one, please make a backup of your ROM, then fully wipe everything including /system. Reflash your ROM, then reboot. Open S Notes and save a couple of notes. Doesn't matter what you type. Next, reboot into recovery and flash this zip. Reboot and see if the wheel works and if there are any other hiccups.

So far, so good. I followed your directions exactly, full wipe and reflash. Created a few notes to make sure S Note was fully initialized, then flashed the v2 zip from recovery. First few strokes are still fat, but the wheel shows up fine...for now. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
Keep up the good work!
I just have to say, I LOVE this phone. It has never been so fast and easy to completely wipe and restore a device. I can have the whole operation done in just under ten minutes, with all my apps fully restored. Phenomenal.

In simple terms; take out the apk from the Gapps package and either cut or copy it. Now, navigate to your ROM's system/app/ directory, and paste the gallery2.apk there. The phone should be booted up the whole time while doing the above. Now, reboot your phone. That's it!

Because that's not how you're supposed to install the apk. Use the instructions I posted above on how to do it.
