Swype Themes

[uofatree]

Currently running ed01 community rom 1.1 and absolutely love it. I was wondering, though, if anyone knew of any swype themes that could possibly be used with this rom. I find that the color in the word prediction window is just a little too light and tough to read. As always, thanks to all the devs for their hard work!

BUMP! I would like to know as well. The word prediction is kinda hard to see whilst driving.

Im looking through all the other swype.apks from nitro dark, comb, and vivid but they are all older versions than the current one in this COM ROM. To replace those with this one would result in force closing through root explorer. The only other swype would have to be the beta version from the swype website that is compatible with the COM ROM one. Ill report back to see if itll work.

Update: I installed regular swype beta over the gingerbread one with no problems

If you update to ComRom v1.1 (or 1.2) they changed the backgroud color so the green shows up better

Also, gunnermikes black alien and red volt themes have awesome themed swype! May want to extract those and use them. They are both ED01.

How do you go about using a theme for swype without flashing a whole theme?

 

[shoestring789]

I personally dont know. I would think tho that since its a themed feature, it would be extractable and/or replaceable. Something like a boot animation maybe? I could be COMPLETELY off...someone like Jae or gunnermike Im sure would know.

If you find a Swype you like from a theme or another Rom you can extract it out using 7zip and then either rename the swype currently on phone as swype_old or just copy and paste the swype right over the old. This is done thru root explorer, super manager or some other program that allows you to copy to the sys/app folder. once this has been completed you must go into settings/language& keyboards and make sure Swype is default, then go into a message and long press in the body which will bring up you input type which you would select swype.

I did the following, and it didn't work. Took me a bit to figure out what I was doing haha...Super Manager is kinda hard to use at first.

I used winzip and did what you said with black alien swype and it's sweet
