Guest Bigsy Posted June 16, 2010 Report Posted June 16, 2010 So got a message today saying my current beta had expired (fine I have a real beta account) so I go to the site and get the new june beta. I uninstalled my current version of swype and rebooted went through the install same as I always have but it always complains that I have a previous version installed. Tried everything, just can't get it installed. I'm using 2.1 oscillation rom

Otherwise you could also try to mount /dev/block/mtdblock1 as /system and check if the .apk is still in /system/app (adb shell -> mount -o rw /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system). If so, "adb rm /system/app/swype-or-whatever.apk" will do the trick :) Best regards, BigBear Edited June 16, 2010 by BigBearMDC
Guest Bigsy Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Thanks but turns out its an issue with it being installed on app2sd: http://swype.uservoice.com/forums/55960-sw...or-another-devi How do I temporally turn it off to install a single app on the phone?

Easiest way (if you dont like to mess with adb) is to install terminal emulator from the market type su to give the emulator root access type help to list the commands type "anything you need" ;)

A very radical solution would be to just pull out your sd card an restart the phone. But thus you could screw up all your other apps =/ Try booting into recovery and push the apk manually to /system/app. This should work also ;) Just mount the system partition and run the following: adb push X:\swype-or-whatever.apk /system/app Best regards, BigBear
Guest Bigsy Posted June 17, 2010 Report Posted June 17, 2010 Tried pulling ou tthe sd card but the phone wouldn't boot. Guess I can just use terminal emulator to copy the apk from sd to system/app as root. Thanks.
Guest GunterPete Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure if you've found a solution already, but I had exactly the same problem. On their FAQ Swype suggest un-installing both the application and the installer, rebooting the phone, turning off all widgets, shutting down a load of processes and trying again. I did this and the installation went through fine. Edited June 18, 2010 by GunterPete
Guest Azurren Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 I've tried installing swype several times with no luck. On the Oscillation Rom it just refuses to install and says that swype was not designed for this device On the FLB Rom Swype installs then gives a message that it is not built for the screen size. You can type but not swype ;)

Guest Bigsy Posted June 18, 2010 Report Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) I got it working on the Oscillation rom in the end by copying the apk straight to system/apps. EDIT the actualy swype apk not the installer. Edited June 18, 2010 by Bigsy
