12)
Windows: type "adb install mypackage.apk"


Let me know if you have any problems.

Well, I made it all the way up to step 12.

After entering "adb install mypackage.apk", I get the following error:


"can't find 'mypackage.apk' to install"

Thanks for all your hard work.

I just did it, not going to lie it wasn't the easiest thing ever but I got it thanks guy! Now I am a Swype'in machine on my Inspire 4g!

my inspire is not rooted and i installed this but att blocked it cause my phone wasnt rooted. how do i uninstall. my uninstall button is grey

 

[nystromproductions]

I am also on AT&T and they don't allow you to let third party applications anymore evidentally. I just followed the guide at post #1 today, took about 2 hours to figure it all out but I finally got it! Try again and really read those directions step by step.

Still not getting past the command promp, do you type the word run it says not recogonized as internal or external command

ARGH! I'm stuck at #7 (using Windows 7). When I type the command, this is the response that I get: Can't find 'Swype-Installer.apk to install." I'm not sure why because it showed that it downloaded on the phone, but for some reason it can't be found. Helllllp!

EDIT:

NVMIND. I did it! I got past 7 when I changed to name of the Swype file (I had to use Swype-Installer-2), and then I got stuck again at step 11 but only because I skipped Step 12. I am the QUEEN of dweebs today! LOL!

Had I done everything right the first time it would have been a breeze; literally 5 minutes tops.

Now I just have to learn how to USE it. LOL

THANK YOU!!!!

Step 8 says I should see the installer after this but I can't unfortunately. I tried restarting my phone but still to no effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

wow!!!! that was like watching someone defuse a messed up situation, like watching me troubleshoot a problem on a chopper or a jet, that rocked thanks "gotta have my swype!"

 

[Hampel]

Ok I have a question. I have been reading everyone posts on the trouble they have had installing swype into the phone. Now is it worth the trouble of the install or should you wait till the full release date??
I'm very new to using this phone coming from an iPhone so there for I'm a lot behind the curve here.

 

[Hampel]

Explain please.

Sooooo. Um. I have installed 8 off market APK files since buying my Inspire yesterday. Including Swype. Without use of SWM. I used astro file manager to see them on my sd card, selected the files, and used the astro apk installer. Everything installed without a hiccup.

First off, Thank You!!! Works great, no problems!!

Question: When activating the swype, there was a message that caught my attention. It stated that the information typed with this program (passwords, credit card numbers) can be accessed by others or something like that. What is that all about? Is this safe to use???

 

[Hampel]

Does no one have a reply. I sent a msg to swype and they didn't answer either.

 

[el98464]

Thanks for the Swype!

 

[tbind]

Stuck on Step 4. Terminal is telling me I do not have any devices. Im on a imac running 10.6.6. Any help would be appreciated!

 

[clintrojan]

Got swype working great. With the 4.3'' display swype is awesome.

My girlfriend is going to be annoyed by how fast i am going to be able to text her now

 

[SoGifted]

ok i have the swype installer on my inspire and i download it and i get the security message. i try to do step 11 while it is on the security screen and it says: The system cannot find the patch specified. and i am inserting "adb pull /data/data/com.swype.android.installer/files/mypackage.apk ./mypackage.apk" and im not getting anything. i have tried on my mac and still nothing. if somebody could explain what i am doing wrong and possibly make a video showing what you are suppose to do exactly once it is on the security screen or post a quick reply explaining what to do. i would appreciate it.
