Introducing
Smoochiezz's Sweet! Swypes:p
Are you tired of that ugly gray swype? Ugh, so was I. Wish you could add a pop of color to it? Well look no further. I present to you my Sweet! Swypes. Featuring every color of the rainbow with some in varying shades. You can't go wrong. I plan on publishing several different Series/Styles. Each series will feature 8 colors, all other colors will be completed upon request. If you have an idea for a keyboard let me know. I can get you a preview and then go from there. I made these for personal use but there's no harm in sharing ;-)
*As of right now, noone has been able to theme the swype trace for the beta version. Once it is possible, every package will be updated with its respective trail color.
Requirements for Themes
*You Must be Perm-rooted.
*You must have Swype Beta installed and the included Swype Installer. (swype.com)
*Have Metamorph installed (https://market.android.com/details?id=stericson.xda.metamorph)

*All Of The Above Mentioned Apps Are Free Besides Root Explorer (Please Support This Great Piece Of Work)*

Directions To Apply
*If this is not your first time using a morph of mine, just morph right over top of the previous.
No need to delete your current apk on your sd card, not even the signed one.
Only do so if you are having problems.*

*Open up your chosen file explorer. Navigate to \data\app\ and locate the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk ( If you choose to use Es you will have to go into Settings>Tick Root Explorer Box)
*Copy the Swype apk to the root of your sdcard. (The theme will only take if the apk is in the root.)
*Go to Metamorph and select "Unzip/Extract New Theme"
*Navigate to wherever you downloaded your chosen theme to. (If you downloaded from the Xda App, it will be located in /sdcard/tapatalk_download/ I have Xda Premium and this is where mine is located)
*You will be presented with a preview and you may now choose "Apply All". Congrats! You have themed your Swype. Now onto signing and install!
*You Must sign the zip or else you will get constant force closes. Thats where ZipSigner2 helps. So let's open that up.
*Push the "Choose In/Out" button at the top and find the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in the root of your sd card.
*Your output should now read /sdcard/com.swype.android.inputmethod-1-signed.apk
*Leave the key mode on "auto-testkey" and Sign The File.
*Before going further, you should make a backup of your data with Titanium Backup or your preserver program of choice. This will collect your personal dictionary for late use. Now uninstall Swype (not the Installer, This step is not mandatory but is recommended to prevent any errors so just do it : ) )
*Using your file explorer, now install the signed swype. (There will be two on your sdcard. The themed one and the themed signed one. Make sure you install the one with "-signed.apk" at the end. If you choose the other one, you WILL get force closes)
*Go to the "Swype Installer" program and activate and choose swype.
*The final and most CRUCIALLLLLLLL step of them all.......ENJOY!


Known Errors With MetaMorph
The most common problem that you might face is getting a "The theme you have selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing or is not correctly written." when you are extracting a theme. This is not a problem with my themes but with MetaMorph. Though it gives you an error and close, it still extracted the theme. Just go back into MetaMorph, (it will likely crash), go back into it and then hit "Pick Existing Theme" at the bottom. Find the folder name of the theme you just extracted and apply as normal.
For some reason the preview doesn't show if you extract a theme and immediately apply it. It only shows when you already extracted and then choose under "Pick Existing Theme". Not a big issue but these are the two known bugs pertaining to Metamorph.

Requests & Formats
Taken requests and ideas. Any of the Series can be modded to a specific color. If you want a custom color give me a sample. An HTML code, hex, sumthn 'kay. Refer to the following rough draft image to see the different aspects that may be themed. (I know its a bit jarringly bright but i was working on a girly theme when i uploaded it). If you do submit a request, please list the five colors and their corresponding titles. All requests are not guaranteed to be completed but I do promise to try. Until then, enjoy the unicolor ones above.

Black would be nice.
Click to expand...
Working on that right now. I was trying to get some feedback.
Should the letters be white? Another Color? What about the buttons at the bottoms? Black too? Any Accents? This is what I have so far. Any preferences? That and no outlines

Yup, just like the fifth post states. If you follow it step by step you shouldn't have any problems. I re-edited the icylicorice. Please re download. Make sure that when you go to metamorph that the theme version is 1.2 to ensure you have the newest one.
