I couldnt get it to move either with File Expert with the newest update. I had to uninstall and reinstall my file manager program and set permissions again

Yeah I was tripping out about that myself it appears you have to remount system directories in the newer version (every time you open it).

Give it root access first of course, but than when you are in the system directory pull up menu and look at more, click mount, should give you writes back if selected. (I can only assume this is a safety precaution do to people deleting the wrong files, etc).

Although saftey precautions can be a pain and quite annoying, they are generally your best friend.

How do you skin Swype and the dialers? I'd like to learn!
Send Kraven an PM. Maybe he will be willing to help you start out and give you some pointers. I know its easier to show that to tell... but yea. Your not there in person lol.

I know its hard to explain to someone how to THEME a ROM so yea I can only imagine that it could be a lil difficult to explain to ya.

Good luck ! ! !

Re: [THEME] phone contact dialers for 2.2 and Reborn 2.1. Swype

I got it to work here for the Beta swype... see post http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-...born-2-1-swype-metamorphs-15.html#post1021379

OPTION 1. Tested and works as in the link above. No real easy way to do with metamorph on the Beta Swype. You pretty much swap out png files within the /assets/keyboard folder. Then resign the swype apk either via APK manager via computer or Signapktic right on your phone. Finally generate another license via the swype beta installer.

OPTION 2: Untested.. Rename the installed com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk from the /data/app folder to Swype.apk. Now move it to the /system/app folder. You may need remount the folders to read-write. Then you can try the Reborn 2.1 Metamorphs on it. Reboot. Then generate a new license via the Swype beta installer. In theory it should work.

The Swype.apk must be in the /system/app/ folder. Then just apply the metamorph and reboot.
