Do I need to be deodexed first before flashing this ROM?

yes. exactly the same way. no wiping.

nope, just rooted and on 2.2. either leaked 2.2 or OTA.

Has anyone been able to download swype again? I tried through rom manager and also from recovery but it still doesnt work..

There is no such thing as "deodexing your phone."

The system files that boot your phone (the files that comprise your phone's operating system) are either Odexed (optimized in a particular way) or DeOdexed (not optimized in that way).

The benefit of a deOdexed ROM is that you can install themes on top of them.

This happens to be a rom that allows for themes. Be careful which themes you choose, however, since they often overwrite system files, that you just went through all the trouble to hand pick!

Hope this explanation helps...

So, how do we determine whether the theme we want to use is going to overwrite those system files?

For instance, any idea about NEXtheme?

It depends where you get it. If you look closely at the original post for the particular NexTheme version you wish to install, you will see which rom it was designed for.

Fabolous' most recent release, for example, is NexTheme for Apex. I think in order to ensure the theme will not inadvertently install unwanted system files, you must find a theme specifically released for the ROM you are currently running. Otherwise, it may or may not work properly...

Good luck!

I appreciate the file. It loads up fine, it shows the line trace, but when my word is done nothing pops up in the box.. Im getting no words.

Drew tweeted yesterday that he was informed swype wasnt working. I might have to wait and see if he fixes it.

Meanwhile, my apex 1.0 is randomly rebooting I guess these most recent rom releases aren't yet perfect...

I just made a video on how to install it for people who need to see how its done before they try it


MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU TRY

Thanks for the video, bro! That helped a ton. If I could drop 1000 thanks I would.
