I recently updated from Fresh version 3.2 to 3.5.0.1.
The only issue I am having is with Swype. I did a search on the forum and found some help, but still have not completely fixed my issue.
It started with the force closing over and over. I uninstalled the application and the installer apks. Then, I used root explorer and found another Swype file (forgot the name), and deleted that manually. I reinstalled everything and then it worked without anymore FC's. Now, the problem I have is that the swyping feature stops working (a lot). I can peck the keys, but the swype keyboard is terrible for that. The only way to get it working again is to either restart the phone, or disable and re-enable the keyboard in settings. I have tried uninstalling the apks and wiping the Dalvik Cache, but the problem won't go away.
Anyone know how to fix this? I am pretty used to the swype keyboard and don't want to have to switch the rom.
Is there some other files I need to delete before I do a clean install again?
Thanks in advance.

i would save the apps and complete wipe/format, the reflash if the problem persists
I agree, I would delete the swype you installed. Do a complete wipe, then flash Fresh 3.5.0.1 again. It should work fine then.
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

Thanks for figuring this out! Works great.

would it be possible to repackage swype so that it is installable next to the older swype?

was trying to install SWYPE following version : Swype_ENUK_WVGA.3.5.83.26516_flat_black_v3_signed.apk

latest swype beta
installed and working !!!
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?
How could i push these two Apps from MIUI to my 7/23 Synergy Kingdom Rom...??? Pushed to System -> apps on root explorer wont work... was wondering if this was possible.
After pushing them AND setting the permissions, reboot the phone.
Posting & replying from my EVO 4G
I'll try again... but setting permissions hasnt seemed to help much... could it be some apps just can't work with specific roms due to coding and stuff?
I get error process com.miui.camera has stopped unexpectedly. as well as with the notes app every time i try and open after i have pushed into system/apps folder and changed permissions to read-owner group other and write-owner..
Should i have copied additional files from the miui rom than just the app files for camera and notes to port correctly over to the synergy rom?
thanks for the help!!
I'm not sure of the exact way you would go about getting these apps to work on Synergy, but I can tell you this-
A lot of apps on MIUI are tied into the rom. People have tried and failed many times to move just the apps over. The only apps you can use on other roms are the apps that people have specifically tweaked to be installable on any rom - like the music app.

ah thank you, i was assuming something like this was the case, thank you very much!
I just flashed Juggs 4.1 and flashed the mega blue darkside theme on top. the messaging app kept forcing closed and wouldnt send so i used titanium to uninstall it and reinstall the messaging app from the ics theme i had on prev rom. it works fine but the icon came out of the dock and I cant figure out how to get it back. now my dock only has 3 icons in it. Also, i am trying to figure out if i flash the modified TW launcher with 5 icons if the theme will still work. i'll show my appreciation by hitting "thanks
{EDIT} I found the solution. I used titanium to back up the tw launcher and uninstall it. then i re installed it with titanium and selected "app only"
I still am curious about the modified TW launcher though and if the theme will still work. thanks
Hi everyone,
this is my very first post so I hope I'm not making any mistake posting here instead of somewhere else.
I installed this ROM yesterday (incredible and awesome job, btw) but no conversations.apk was in it and I had to install Hardcent SMS to handle the messaging.
Is it normal or I made something wrong? I also checked the rom .zip before posting.
I searched for infos in the official thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399238) but I've found nothing.
Thanks in advance,

Dunno - unless you didn't flash bigxie's gapps file immediately afterwards before rebooting, but in that case you'd be missing more than just messaging. I assume you did a full wipe first as per instructions.
I installed Apex 1.0.2 and have the native sms apk, although I didn't test it since I prefer Handcent and have disabled native texting.
Maybe your flash had a hiccup, you could try reflashing...
or open up the zip file and see if there's a conversations.apk in it.
I just updated from Apex 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 and I had the stock SMS application on both versions. You may have forgotten to flash the gapps package. Unlike CM7 and other Gingerbread ROMs, the gapps package needs to be flashed along with the ROM every time you update/install.

Hi Clancy_s,
thank you for your reply. I followed the instructions line-by-line as always and also I tried to download again the rom and flash it a second time but nothing...
As I said, I also checked the zip file in order to get the apk and put it manually on /system/app, but I couldn't find it!!
Now you're telling me that you have the stock messaging app on your phone and you also have the same rom I have... that's strange!
Could you please check your rom .zip and look for conversation.apk?

I can but it'll have to wait a couple of days - I'm away from home for the next 3 and like to use a pc for that sort of thing.
I upgraded from Apex 1.0.0 so it's possible the conversation.apk carried over from there...
goo-inside.me/roms/fabolous/maguro/bigxie_maguro_Apex_v1-0-2.zip
<-- link to actuall gapps
i also need to reinstall it after updating from 9.2 -> apex1.0 (namechange) to get sync with google acc
so...I downloaded the file...again... (third time!) and unzipped it.
Am I crazy or there is no conversation.apk in it?
seriously guys: where is it?
it should be in System/App, am I right?
why it isn't there?
today I wiped my phone and flashed for the third time, with the brand new file downloaded few seconds before, after that I flashed the gappas (without rebooting the phone) and THEN I made a reboot.
Still no conversation.apk....??
