ATTN: Swype lovers

[Calvo1]

Guys I hope Im not gegging in here but I need help. I have a HTC Hero (still) and I have 2.1 (UK). I had the old Swype and got told to update. Now when I update the installer, and then login in to Download swype it downloads for a bit and then says I "Do not have enough space to VIEW Swpe please delete some applications) the thing is I have cleared 50 mb of internal space and when I got to uninstall the attempted SWYPE Install that only amounts to 10.4mb. I am only installing the Western European selection too

Could somebody please help. I dont have root by the way.

I tried Slide it today and touchpal, but I miss my swype.

Sorry just noticed this is for Motorola, but if somebody could point me in the right direction that would be just swell

i dunno the answer to your question, but you might want to poke around in the swype forums too and see if anyone else has posted any similar problems / solutions

Well, I'm not as good as I thought lol.

I have all the files from the 5.7.893 update, but I only have the two system files from the 5.5.886 dump - I don't have the dalvik file (and I don't think that is actually necessary, as the system should create one on the fly when you first run Swype).

Here are links:

5.7.893 - Note: the files have a .old extension at end for renaming purposes. you have to remove all of this, including the period (.)

• http://www.mediafire.com/file/d80i6eb1o0r8f7g/libSwypeCore.so.old - goes in \system\lib, remove .old at end
• http://www.mediafire.com/file/eo9tbed6818bm68/Swype.apk.old - goes in \system\app, remove .old at end
• http://www.mediafire.com/file/gr6231vn8y6ps69/system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex.old - goes in \data\dalvik-cache, remove .old at end

5.5.886

• http://www.mediafire.com/file/j0did22jwmb4ucd/Swype.apk - goes in \system\app
• http://www.mediafire.com/file/hbh76rx4b3999ks/libSwypeCore.so - goes in \system\lib

Uh oh! Just went to install the official OTA and I keep getting an install failed. Copied it to sd card and tried to install the update from recovery so I could see what was going wrong and here's the error I got (see image below). I uninstalled the updated beta version of swype --> rebooted --> reinstall original backup from Titanium --> reboot --> try to install OTA and same error. I'm going to try to using the .886 files you posted John. Hope this works...

Panic has subsided! The install worked this time, you're a lifesaver with those files John, many thanks!

I was stupid and in my original excitement to get a new version of swype, only backed up in TiBu Pro and did not copy / save any of the original files using root explorer.

Apparently when I uninstalled the newer version and reinstalled my old backup file of swype from TiBu, it reinstalled swype but did not place the original swype.apk back in \system\app\. After placing your swype.apk file in the appropriate directory, the updated applied without a hitch!

Being forewarned is being forearmed. Or is it 4 armed? Or simply For Ear Med? lol

Glad you got it working, and also glad that I made that post way back when....

New version of Swype installed with the new .901 update that's floating around! It appears to be identical to the beta, has personal dictionary, etc. only difference is the skin layover. I think I prefer the dark skin of the beta better tho.

.886 and .893 = Swype 3.21.8
.901 = Swype 3.25.9
Swype beta = 3.26.9
