    Theming Swype in Gingerbread Roms

    Since Gingerbread came out, I cannot get Swype themed. I have the official beta Swype and have not had any problems theming it in the past. Prior to this January, i was able to move com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk from the data\apps to \system\apps and theme it with metamorph. Now it starts FC'ing like crazy. Nothing i have tried has worked. Anyone successfully themed Swype beta recently? If so , could you reveal how to do it please.

    Have you gone back to FroYo and had the same experience - it might not be the Android O/S that is causing the problem, it might be the newer version of Swype -

    Could be a coincidence because swype updated about the same time as GB came out. I didn't want to go back to Froyo. I'm loving the speed of GB and haven't looked back since I updated.

    I can pick apart the apk and color the keyboards, it seems to work for any droid OS.

    I have tried and even if I make a slight change to any of the files with ninjamorph it won't work once it is recompiled. The file is com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk in the /data/app directory. It's the official beta not the oem version.

    I use a tool called apk manager to decompile and recompile the apk. With that tool you can resign the apk which is what I found the issue to be when trying to install a modified apk.

    Nope. Tried theming and resigning with APK manager but that didn't work either. If anyone has found a method for theming the com.swype.android.inputmethod-1.apk file in the /data/app directory from the latest version of Swype beta, I would love to find out how to do it. By the way, the free beta download for Swype is still open.

    If you can get me the apk and tell me what colors you want the keys and the swype path to be, I can try it for you.
