What you're gonna have to do is install ROM explorer, then head into the /system/app folder and delete (or move to a backup location) Swype.apk
Then, go into the /system/lib folder and delete (or move to a backup location) libSwypeCore.so (or something like that).
Then, install Swype using the installer on their website (sign up for the beta).
http://beta.swype.com/
I don't believe you can reinstall the stock Swype that is included with Alien, though I'm not entirely sure. I highly recommend using the beta though.
awesome that works thanks
I did this but after I reboot, force closes again, works really well up to a reboot though
try uninstalling and reinstalling (not joking about windows, really that is a known fix).
IF that fails, uninstall, reboot into recovery, wipe DALVIK cache, then reinstall.

I just flashed the new sc 2.5 and now my LauncherPro app will not let me make any changes that require a restart. It has happened before and i fixed it by deleting /dbdata/databases/com.fede.launcher in root explorer, but it is not working now. Any suggestions?

Hmmm, it's working fine for me. Did you wipe before you flashed sc 2.5? If so, did you try uninstalling LP and then reinstalling it clean?
I wiped cache and dalvik cache, i think it might have something to do with the VA Green theme because it has themed widgets and the apk is in system/app instead of data/app. It will not let me completely remove it because everytime i delete anything to do with it in Root Explorer, it goes right back.
I would restart. Wipe data, not just cache and davlik and let's see if that helps...
I somehow got it working so I'm just gonna leave it for now and not mess anything up.

I wiped everything before installing and then restored my apps with Titanium Backup. Launcher Pro is working perfectly. No theme installed yet.
Same thing happening here. Going to wipe data and see if that solves it.
I was attempting to delete the stock calendar because I prefer Gemini Calendar. I made a back-up in TB but then when I went to click it and uninstall it TB must not have been fully loaded because it moved up one and I uninstalled calendar STORAGE. Now Gemini won't open at all, it acts like it will but then immediately closes. I've tried many different calendars since and they all do the same thing. I did try re-flashing gapps and also I followed the thread here with the stock calendar.apx but neither worked. I really don't want to have to re-flash my ROM or lose any data if possible. Please help
On CM 7.1.0.1

I don't think calendar is stored in GAPPS, well anyways, I suggest you go download CM7 rom again, extract the zip and look into system/app and go find calendar storage.
Replace in same place with the same app.
Thanks, I will definitely try that.

Did it work?
I uninstalled it and now can't access , sync or create local calendars.. Looking for the correct version for ICS4.0.4 to reinstall and hoping that will relink everything but am doubtful it will be that easy.
I downloaded the files provided and put them into /system/apps then I clicked on the apk hoping it would magically fix all my problems but it just said install failed so how do I get the sucka reinstalled?

4.0.4 calendar & sync apks. http://db.tt/KkMpf14m unzip and push to system/app and set permissions like the other apks in system. Good Luck
Edit, don't forget to boot into recovery and wipe cache and in "advanced" , wipe dalvik afterwards...If shiz dont work then clear data in both those apps and reboot
No such luck I'm afraid.

I disabled angrygps as I read some people freeze it to resolve gps problem. That didn't help and I wanted to enable it but I can't find it in the apps list anymore. So I uninstalled it using Titanium backup and reinstalled it. The icon still didn't appear. A few more things happened and my backup disappeared too! I extracted the signedangrygps.apk from the rom and copied it into system/apps, changed the permission and reboot. Still don't see it. Click to install and it say "Application not installed". I tried flashing without wipe. Still nothing. How can I reinstall the app? Is full wipe the only way out?
Not sure... I even pulled angrygps from passion and extracted into cm9 and works.

I installed the Hacker's Keyboard as shown in a post on this site and it worked fine, but I got greedy and tried to upgrade it in the same way that I did the initial install. The problem was that when I tried to download the apk file from Android Market, it did not simply download and was installed. Now I can't get any keyboard at all.
I am still trying to fix this but I suspect it will be necessary to reinstall Android on my tablet.
Don't get greedy like me
Just wipe data and dalvik cache, backup your apps with titanium backup

So, at this point you cannot get a keyboard to come up? Can you get into a file explorer? If so, check and see if the original apk is still in /system/app (I'm assuming that is where you moved it). If so, a reboot should fix it, but if not, try checking permissions and reinstalling it (tap on the apk in your file explorer).
If it is not there, is it somewhere (perhaps on your SD card) where you can access it to move it back to /system/app?

I cleared the cache as recommended in the first reply to this thread and now I have the original keyboard. Both keyboards now work.
thanks

Veronica to the rescue again. My hero! You need a proper avatar pix, something with a cape. My husband thanks you for fixing my NT.
I made a huge mistake trying to update to a new version of swype to see if it would respond better instead I got a version that it not compatible with my phone it is very small not even half the screen. Can somebody post the apk please the one that came with the evo 4g lte. Thanx
Nevermind figured it ok. If anybody if updates swype you can go back in to apps and uninstall the updates. It will return it back to the orginal swype version.
How did u update it in the first place? Are U trying to get Swype beta on it?

I am very interested in how to load swype beta to replace the pre-installed version. Swype bets on my OG was awesome. No matter what I do, it always fails at the licensing step.
I have tried the various suggestions that deal with using root explorer to delete existing files, including files in davlik cache. When I install swype, however, it still seems to know about the previous install despite erasing all the swype related filed i could find and rebooting. During install it asks me if I want to replace the system app, to which I respond yes. But if I deleted the files and rebooted, hoe does it know? At the licensing step, it just hangs forever.
Has anyone figured out how to do this?

I did this the other day, very easy. Same way I did this on eVo 3d. I should have explained this.
Go in root explorer.
Go to system/app
Make sure it's r/w
delete Swype apk
Exit
Install Swype installer, sign in, download, and finish setup.
Restore just Swype data through titanium backup to get your personal dictionary back. Enjoy
edit: PS, if U every get force closes, uninstall in settings and reinstall through Swype installer.
Swyped from my eVo
Update: this time I got a message at the beginning of the installer that said Sorry Swype beta is unavailable for devices with swype preinstalled.
_________
Did all of that and more, including removing lib files and files from caches. Will give it another go.

Haven't tried yet or anything but could you use a titanium backup from your old phone and just install the app? I have no idea if it would work or not.

Am getting ready to go through this process. I'm rooted with Zedomax's method but have not yet installed a custom recovery (kinda waiting for a few more options to come along, would love to see an Amon-Ra recovery or the like).
In any case, since I can't make a nandroid backup of my device first, I want to be careful about this install. To that end, if this Swype Beta install gets hosed, will I be able to easily return to the pre-installed Swype and if so how, is returning that deleted Swype.apk to the system directory and/or rerunning it sufficient? I'd hate to think I could screw things up to the point where I no longer have even the pre-installed version of Swype. ETA: I have Titanium Backup so possibly restoring from there if it gets hosed?
You also mention r/w for the /system directory, which I know how to enable through ES File Explorer. At what point can the /system directory be returned to r/o? Is it sufficient to do so at the end of the install and registration process or is there something else that needs to happen before re-enabling r/o for /system?
