Anybody else getting "parsing" error when installing Swype?

---

Had my Gnex for about 3 weeks. Rooted and installed RAScream/Trinity last night. When I tried to re-download swype from the swype installer app, it seems to start, and then fails, giving me the message: "Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package."

There are some posts on the Swype forums about the issue (e.g., http://forum.swype.com/showthread.ph...rors-Read-this!), but none of the solutions seem to work.

Anybody know a workaround? Typing without swype is ridiculously painful.

For what it's worth, I do have a nandroid backup from before I installed this ROM, and I had swype installed then. But it seems like a bad project to reinstall that nandroid just to extract the swype APK from it. Is it possible to get the swype APK out of that nandroid backup without reloading that backup onto my phone?

Titanium can restore from a nandroid.

Which solutions did you try from the forum?

I had the same problem, but it worked for me when I downloaded it with just 3g.

I second this.

I tried 3g. No luck. I'll try to selectively restore it using Titanium.

Sweet I'm back on Swype thanks to this suggestion. Paid the $6 or so for pro version and easily restored just Swype from the nandroid. Perfect!

I was just about to ask this same question, but I found your thread so thank you lol. I can confirm that the Titanium Backup method works, if you have a back up you can restore swype if you are getting the installation error.

I had to download it via 3g to get it to work.

However, I recently switched to TouchPal Keyboard, another free sliding keyboard. I find I'm more accurate with it, and I find editing easier.

I switched the second time my swype beta license unexpectedly expired, and I didn't find out until I went to respond to an urgent email. I also didn't like the double download for swype, nor the new downloader (for DragonGo) they've added. It's a keyboard... why all the downloaders?

Yeah for any future readers of this thread I would just note that when you restore from a nandroid, you restore something named 'com.input.Swype' or 'com.keyboard.Swype' or something like that (I can't remember exactly what it was). There is nothing just named 'Swype'

I ran into this issue as well after trying a new ROM. I tried everything and nothing would work... until I signed up with a different email address then it worked perfectly. I'm guessing this is the same issue you were having. Since then I've used Titanium and restored it that way
