Swype Problem: HD2 with Android

[freeridindirtbiker]

The main installation for swype went perfectly fine and it shows it being installed. I can go into language and keyboard settings and its there. The problem is when I go to Keyboard Types: Swype doesnt show up as an option to use. Ive done the tutorial and it works fine. I just cant find a way to enable it to use for text messaging as its not showing up as an input option. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

copy the apk in a folder on your pc and extract it

go inside the folder /lib/armeabi/ and you find this file

libSwypeCore.so

copy this file on your leo sd card

boot up android and with rootexplorer cut/paste the library file inside the folder /system/lib

reboot

after this, swype should be in your inputmethod choices

If the copy of this file is not allowed (and the system show up a message like "read only filesystem" and such things), I think you have to do this operation with a terminal with root permission (inside android, on your pc with adb shell, on a linux pc, and so on)

Otherwise, the way that can't fail is:

on your pc (a linux pc would be better) mount the system file in a folder, do the cut/paste operation, umount the system file, reboot android

Hope this help (and hope you understood what I mean ... sorry for my english)

Regards

kind of crazy way to do it (previous post)

The correct way would be that once you install swype, you have to enable it, before you can select it as an input option.

Once installed, go to settings, then language and keyboard, and simply put a check mark in the swype box.

Then go to something like messaging, long press the text input box, and then select input settings. you should then see swype as an option.

Happy swyping.

if it works, throw some thanks my way.

Thats the problem though. Once installed, I enabled it. Everything seems golden at this point right? Tutorial screen pops up, blah, blah, blah. Go into messaging, text input options and theres all the input options displayed
*Qwerty
*Phone keypad
*Compact Qwerty

But Swype doesnt show up at all as an option. The radio button is still selected with Qwerty. I followed the previous posters solution though and it now works. Still doesnt show up in the Keyboard Types which is odd but at least its working.
