Accidentally deleted swype.

[jkat797]

I was in root explorer and accidentally deleted the swype.apk file from system/app. I then restarted my phone and I no longer have swype in my input methods. I tried taking the apk of it off of my friends phone and installing it onto mine but it said installation failed. Please help!

You should just be able to place the apk in system/apps and them the .lib in system lib folder. Search the themes and app forum for swyoe and u should be able to find the files, pm me if you have problems, I've ran into just about every swyoe problem there is lol

I recommend using root explorer to search for all swype files, delete them all, and then register and download the swype beta. Its MUCH better.

I am running SC2.8 and I would like to try the new swype beta but when I go to settings\manage apps\swype, uninstall is grayed out and wont let me uninstall swype. Any ideas?

Try forcing uninstall. Titanium or Root Explorer.

If you are running 2.8 you are already running the latest version of Swype. No need to install Beta. What comes packaged with 2.8 has a newer version number than the Beta.

Interesting, I didn't know this. Why doesn't it look the same as other swype keyboards on other phones such as the EVO and the beta?

I noticed the difference in looks as well but I'm not able to draw any conclusions. Perhaps the one in SC is a engineering release.
