[MetaMorph]Swype Themes: Voice Input only

[hoey2011]

YOU MUST HAVE A SWYPE.APK LOCATED IN /SYSTEM/APP/ FOR THIS METAMORPH TO APPLY!
To summarize, when you type "ls /system/app" in your terminal on your phone, you should see a "Swype.apk" file located there. If not, go to the instructions right after this notice in the post.

====Theme Application Instructions============
You MUST have this file: /system/app/Swype.apk
The theme is designed to apply to Galaxy S phones where we already have a Swype.apk located there. If you are using an installed version, follow these steps to determine how to continue from here:

In Terminal type:

ls /system/app/

If you don't see a Swype.apk or a com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk listed, then type this:

ls /data/app/

If you still don't see a Swype.apk or a com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk, you're in the wrong thread

If you found that your Swype file is located in the system directory, then you are 3/4 of the way to being prepared for a metamorph theme. If this is you, but your file is named com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk, check the next step to get set up to apply the morph.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
In order for the morph to apply, the file HAS to be named Swype.apk.
So, to get to that point, do this:
In Terminal:

su
cp /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/Swype.apk

Now that you have the Swype.apk in your /system/app/ directory, continue on to the theme application step.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are not one of the lucky ones to have Swype in your /system/app/ directory and it is in your /data/app/ directory, follow these steps to allow the file to be themed by metamorph:
In Terminal:

su
cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/Swype.apk

or

su
cp /sd-ext/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/Swype.apk

Basically, we want to get a copy of the Swype file in the /system/app/ directory, with the EXPLICIT name of Swype.apk, so that the theme will read it and apply it accordingly. Once you have done this, move onto the next step.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
APPLYING THE THEME

Now that you have a Swype.apk file in your /system/app/ directory, it's time to apply the Metamorph. If you have read this far, I'm assuming you already know how to use this application, so go through the usual steps and apply the theme, TWICE, ALWAYS TWICE!

If you have a themed Swype.apk, then you are ready for the next step, which will be replacing the normal Swype with the themed Swype.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
For those with Swype in /system/app/ :

su
mv /system/app/Swype.apk /system/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk

Then Reboot.

For those with Swype in /data/app/ :

su
mv /system/app/Swype.apk /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk

Then Reboot

==============================

Ok, in an effort to consolidate all of my threads in the Galaxy S forums, I am posting my WVGA Swype theme work here.

Most of the time I have to apply these themes twice in order for them to work correctly, so instead of getting ahead of yourself, or skipping over instructions in the OP, just APPLY THE THEME TWICE.

The images are only samples, and the on screen view is much clearer.

Naked swype is the best one, since not only does it use the least battery, but it looks awesome with this screen!

Looks part of the phone lol

[hoey2011]

nakedswype is the version i use

also my own personal favorite

Also, like I noted in the OP, I was going to be posting in all galaxy s forums, which means that I will have individual threads for different phones. I will fulfill theme requests best I can for all of these, but if I have posted a requested keyboard on a thread for another phone, don't be shy, go on over to other forums and check the theme and app section, for galaxy s

 

[flashman2002]

Would you be able to link those threads here to save on search time? It would make cross referencing easier

Sorry, just a little confused here, how do I install the themes?

I used MetaMorph to apply one of the themes (black glass) and it says applied successfully but nothing has changed. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I'm on the JH2 ROM could that be why?

got root?
try rebooting?

 

[ghostfaceg35]

I'm rooted yes. By reboot do you mean just powering off and back on or doing something to soft reset like I would have to on WinMo (I just got my Captivate and went Android on Monday)? Metamorph didn't prompt to reset. I have turned the phone off and back on. To soft reset do I pull the battery out while powered on or??? Thanks

 

[Kagoshema]

i mean just power off and power back on

 

[dangerdan]

I'm having the same problem. Applied the theme and nothing has changed, even after reboot.

Same here.

 

[ghostfaceg35]

Tried again using naked swype theme no luck. Metamorph asks for super user permissions and runs a check on start then I open the zip and apply it says applied successfully and exits and nothing changes.

[flashman2002]

Which superuser do you have installed. I found that if I were on the newer 2.3.2.1 it would not work. The only time I was able to have metamorph zip's work was if I was on the older superuser, the one with the ninja. Dont remember which version 1.8 or something like that.
