[THEME] Customt dialers for 2.2, 2.3.3, Reborn & Swype Metamorphs

Edit ... got it figured out. Its alot more work with the beta.

Installation :


1) copy your swype apk (com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk) from system/app, system/sd/app or data/app and paste it to the root of your sd card (optionally push and pull with adb)

2) put it on your pc, open the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk with 7zip and drag my files from the assests/keyboards folders in my swype metamorph zips into assets/keyboards then update the archive (press back)

3) place the updated com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in apk manager folder in "place-apk-here-for-signing" folder
4) open apk manager (script.bat), choose option 16 (sign an apk)
5) place back on sd card, uninstall swype from phone, install new version, choose swype (settings > language and keyboard then put a tick by swype.
6)Now have to generate a new license...Need to uncheck and disable swype from the settings/language & keyboards.
7)Open up the swype installer, and choose generate license again and sign in.
8)Go back and check Swype, and choose swype as your keyboard in settings.
Then you should have swyping ability back with the new Swype beta.

In order to use the theme swypes with metamorh with Reborn 2.2 or 2.2.1 you have to move the swype apk. With a file explorer. I use root explorer....The swype apk. Is in the folder data/app move it to the folder system/app.

To theme Swype in the /data/app folder using the new Reborn 2.2.1 ...there is an extra big step to get Swype.apk resigned after the metamorph. Easiest is to move it to the /system/app/ folder. But i've included instructions on how to make it work. NOTE: NOT FOR BETA SWYPE.


Edit found a program that will let you resign apks on the phone. It works well. So download this and install.

market://details?id=com.stericson.signapktic

So after you apply the Metamorph, open the Signapktic program.
Click Choose file and look for the Swype.apk in the /data/app/ folder. And select it.
THen hit next. You should see 'testkey'. click next .
Now it will sign the file and it will be placed on your SDcard root directory.
Exit out of the program.
Now all you have to do open up your file manager and find that file and install.
And your themed swype will work.

Have these worked for you? Everytime I try it, It deletes swype off the rom. Even though its still in data/app. It wont let me reinstall it....Also when i try the redswype it say there an error....And now i cant move the swype apk. for some reason to the system/app to use the old swype zips. it now says system is read-only not sure why it change I was able to do it earlier when i first told you about the problem....Ive wiped and flashed 2.2.1 several times today trying different things and now it wont let me move any of the apks for data/app to system/app weird.
 
i'll have a look. Currently messing with swype beta. But i'll switch back. They worked for me on reborn 2.1. But I'll see what's different now.
 
I think because it is not a system app anymore it has to be resigned after the metamorph.

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.



I could via adb commands.

adb remount

adb pull /data/app/Swype.apk

adb push Swype.apk /system/app/Swype.apk

Then do the original metamorphs

Ok fixed that post for reborn 2.2.1 swype themes. Had a few files names off. And after you apply the Metamorph, you have to resign the apk and reinstall the signed apk file.

Yea the old swype zips worked for me on 2.2 when i moved the swype apk. from the data/app folder to system/app folder...However the new zips you made you dont have to move the swype apk. I havent tried it on 2.2 I was trying them on 2.2.1 which is kinda different the updated 2.2.1 wont let me modify the system folder now it says read-only so i cant move the swype apk. that folder anymore to use the old zips that i know work.....Im still trying to figure it out if i somehow do Ill let you know....
 
I'll be watching... want to try that black swype out. I caught the pink one before the original apk was removed.

if you still use the old swype zips itll work on 2.2.1 what you have to do is if you got root explorer move the swype apk. from data/app folder to system/app but before paste it in that folder hit the mount r/w button on top and itll allow you to move it there swype will not show up in keyboards but its there now do the metamorph instructions and reboot....Tada its back and the color you choose....havent figure out how to use the new zips yet....but heres another option just more you have to do...

Ok, so I'm apparently slow and trying to piece things together from multiple posts... to install a metamorph theme on 2.2.1... I need to first move it, then open metamorph and apply it... do I also need to resign it?
