Swype

---

I searched around and couldn't find a definative answer. How can I take my backed up copy of swype from my g2 nandroid backup (or the official rom) and install it after installing cyanogenmod"

If you want you could always download the stock rom (check dev forums) and take the Swype.apk out of /system/apps. You're also going to need to get the libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib good luck.

*thanks nvigrass, wasnt sure where it was

it is in /system/lib

here's a thread with some instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837599

I ended up figuring it out with the first post, after figuring out how to open the /system/ nandroid img.

hey thanks man . i got MagicISO but it is not letting me explore the system file, i can't even open it..what'd you use?

Okay here is what I did and it worked. Using SU File manager (found in the market if you search "root explorer") and on the stock ROM, copy the lib and apk files from /system/app and /system/lib. I copied them to the root of my sd card. Wipe everything and install CM and the addon. Grab SU File manager again and find the lib file on your SD card. copy it. There are two little buttons on the top of SU File manager with an S and a D. I pressed both of them to mount system and data as read/write. Go to system/lib and paste the lib file. Verify that it is there and since there are so many files sort by size its like 998kb. Then just use SU File Manager or astro or whatever to find Swype.apk on your sd card. Install it from there. With Astro click it and "open app manger." Then go to keyboard settings and enable it as an input method. Go to swype settings and it should not FC if you did this stuff correctly. Set your settings and enjoy! Oh yea dont forget to uninstall and refund SU File manager

If you are using windows, there is a command prompt application called unyaffs.exe that extracts the whole thing in windows. Might even work in linux with wine
