Motorola Droid :: As Install Gde Home / Swype Lock Up?
Mar 27, 2010
I'm sorry if this has been discussed... my search did not find anything. I installed Swype beta on my Droid during the recent beta invitation, and it suddenly got to the point where it just won't function at all beyond swyping one word. Then it locks up. Although this has happened since installing GDE Home, Swype still locks up when used with GDE closed and running the default home. In general, GDE seems to slow my Droid, but I can't find an explanation for Swype not working. The android keyboard works well in its own right with GDE, but of course it sucks when you're used to Swyping. I'm out of ideas!

was able to install on another Froyo rom, no I don't remember which. How much room does SWYPE need? editing this in (from post below) to get it read by more eyes: I did uninstall a bunch of fluff I was thinking of getting rid of anyway.

I keep getting a message that installation was unsuccessful (BB.5). Never mind I think it is BB. It thinks I have 2.1 for some reason.

I got an email this morning about the release of a new swype beta. I followed the directions and when I try to change inputs an error message pops up stating the screen resolution doesn't match. Anyone get this email and the error? I made sure I uninstalled my previous swype before installing the new one.

On the car dock the "Car Home" was default to the home key on the Droid. If I backed out of Car Home to get to an app or something, I would just touch the Home key and it would get me back to car home.

Googling around I found a beta download of Swype. The thing is, I can't for the life of me figure out how to install it. The instructions on the various pages I've found simply state "Transfer the package file to your SD card." Okay, great. So uh, how does one go about doing that? When I plug the Evo into my computer as a disk I'm not seeing any folders that look like they could be the SD card's storage. So how does one move files to it?

I need help installing "swype". I have received the email, I have downloaded the "swype installer", now what? I go and try to type an email or text but it is the same version that was already on the phone. Is there supposed to be a "swype" icon or app?

May sound like a dumb question, but how do I install Swype? It's not on the Marketplace. I went to the web site of the company to do a manual install-no where to download it.

I just got my Droid an hour ago! That means I don't really know what I'm going. I installed Astro. I downloaded the Sype Beta to my PC and unzipped the files. I copied the unzipped folder to my SD card. Astro finds the folder, but I can't figure out how to install it?!? I see the Astro options at the top, but install is not one of them. I'm sure the answer is obvious, but I'm blinded by my new toy right now.

Sweeter Home 2 is the most innovated home replacement software I've seen, but it is only available for 1.6 & 2.0. We need this for the Eris, Moment, Hero and other 1.5 phones. Please help get Sweeter Home 2 released for the 1.5. The dev team will release a build for 1.5 if enough people click the link below and submit a comment asking for it: Running Android 1.5 and can't install the beta? : sweeterskins.net - themes and news about Sweeter Home More info: sweeterskins.net - themes and news about Sweeter It's unlike any other home replacement, allows you to store apps in different trays that pop-up at a click of the button, add custom calendars to the home screen, everything and I mean everything on the screen is customizable. Just check out some of the themes people are developing:

This is more of a preemptive post for anyone that comes into the same issue as I did.My Swype was not working, so I had to uninstall, run the installer again, put in my Swype beta information to login, downloaded the app again and it worked fine afterwards.Just don't panic if it happens to you too.

I'm using the MIUI v4 port I found here on XDA. Problem is, when I installed it I cannot use Swype, the install.apk crashes. Why is this?
if I can't get Swype, is there anyway to get more languages for input?

When using a home replacment like Helix, Home++, etc. does the android home still run in the background and reduce performance? I had a lot of stuff on my stock home but just switched to Helix so how do i stop/disable stock home if it is running?

One thing that's bothering me about SH... I don't use Beautiful Home anymore. In fact, I've removed all beautiful widgets from all my home screens and home screen replacement apps. Yet for some reason I get the weather thing in my status bar as if I had Beautiful Home running. Which means it's somehow being run without being told to. And it only does this with Sweeter Home.

The latest Swype Beta version is 2.4.44.10912.t100, however my Fascinate shipped with 1.63.39.8794. Can I install the Swype beta alongside this pre-installed one or is it going to seriously mess something up?

I created a speed dial folder in Open home....but it has been lagging and force closing a lot. I would love to be able to move this folder to the basic home or to Home ++. Can you save this? or do I have to recreate if I switch home apps?

I bought a used Droid 2 from ebay the other day and I got it and went to switch keyboards and I found that Swype wasnt on there. I double checked Motorola's website and it advertises the Droid 2 with swype pre-installed. Did I just get stiffed? Or do I need to find an apk somewhere to get swype?

I like switching between the stock home and Launcher Pro and ADW. Since the 2.2 update, when I use a home switcher to use one of the replacements, my phone defaults back to the stock home screen when I hit the hardware home button on the bottom of my Moto Droid. Is there a setting I am missing to change this. Even when I select the replacement as "default" using the Home Switcher, it still reverts back to the stock one when I hit that home button.

Is there anyway to set it so that you use swype when the phone is in portrait and multitouch when the phone is in landscape mode?

I just picked up my DX on friday from Walmart (verizon was out of stock). And Swype is not on the phone. Anyone else have this problem? It was build .516, I have done the 604 update as well. Any idea's of how to get it without returning the phone and going through that hassle?

Link to mod:
Themed Swype - xda-developers
Different colors at the bottom, delete the color from the file name when placing on sdcard. i.e. blueupdate.zip > update.zip
MUST BE DEODEXED
All Swypes have matching tracers
All these are for 2.2, there is no reason you shouldnt be on 2.2
Original images from bilbobrian, just some extra days on my part getting it to you
As always do a back up
If on 2.2 and have boot strapper installed to use this update .zip, throw it on sd card, open droid x bootstraper reboot to recovery, apply update.zip, reboot done!
........ without bootstrapper method...........if you want just the apk for a different color just extract it from the update.zip file use root explorer or other app to make a copy of your original app ( its in system/app)
First you must remove swype.apk from system/app any way of your choosing, terminal or adb, then reboot.
Follow the following directions
Put the .apk on your sdcard, navigate to it with astro or your fav file browser, open the apk and choose install. If it still says only gives you the option to uninstall, you didnt uninstall correctly. if you can get it to show up after install go into settings and keyboard and make sure swype is checked
DONE
................ If you somehow botched it...............
restore your back up.
If you were careless enough to not do a back up and your on 2.2 get a clean download here.. MY droid world 2.2 follow those instructions. then download file again, your last one might of been bad. When in recovery go to mounts and mount system, then install the zip
