Help Upgrading stock swype and other....

[jeffzz421]

Hey guys, Ive looked a few places and it seems that updating our stock swype keyboard is possible but we have to delete a few of the old files. I was wondering if anyone has tried this or was thinking about it? Reason being I have heard the new swype beta is much better and more accurate.

Also, I was thinking about getting rid of the messaging widget and memo widgets that constantly run as services in the background. Anyone done this or know if its completely safe to do so?

I haven't tried to upgrade Swype yet but, I have gotten rid of all stock widgets on my phone. Just make sure you delete the widget only and not the actual app. Memo is only a widget but the calendar and messaging have stock apps that you don't want to get rid of.

switch over the keyboard from swype to the other keyboard

get titanium backup and UNINSTALL swype.

then if you have the swype installer, use that to put swype on your phone and voila- you have swype again but upgraded

worked for me....

So did all you do was uninstall using titanium backup and then reinstall using the beta apk? Or did you just move the apk over? Also, I have read that there are three files that need to be deleted. Did you do this at all?
