Forgetting how it looks, the beta is a better Swype. A lot better.
Swype
I know it's been asked before buuut I've been looking around and can't find the answer I'm looking for.
Is there any way to get the stock DX GB Swype working on MIUI? I know the beta works but I despise how it looks. I've also looked into theming the beta via Metamorph but am unable to get that work as well. Any tips would be much appreciated.

You could just pull the swype apk from the stock rom, most likely it will be in system/app. And then also grab the libSwypeCore.so file out of system/lib. Just place both of those files back in the same location into whatever your rom of choice is, reboot the phone, and you should have that version of swype available to use.
Howso? I used the original for quite some time and had no issues with it.cpurick said:Forgetting how it looks, the beta is a better Swype. A lot better.
I have tried this in the past and it didn't work for whatever reason. I could type using the keyboard but whenever I finished a word swype the outline of the keyboard glowed blue momentarily and failed to write the word.vargus21 said:You could just pull the swype apk from the stock rom, most likely it will be in system/app. And then also grab the libSwypeCore.so file out of system/lib.

I personally prefer the new swype beta, but to each his own.deevious said:Howso? I used the original for quite some time and had no issues with it.

Anyway, because I'm such a gentleman, I just sbf'd back to 602, pulled the swype files, and installed them in MIUI, worked without a problem for me.
Here are the files that I pulled from 602 for you -
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29977263/Swype.apk
Swype.apk, push to system/app, set proper permissions
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29977263/libSwypeCore.so
libSwypeCore.so, push to system/lib, set proper permissions
Reboot phone.
Following reboot, you should have a properly working DX version of Swype without any problems.
OMFG I love you! I think that when I tried this initially I forgot to reset the permissions on the lib, fuuuuuuu!vargus21 said:I personally prefer the new swype beta, but to each his own.
