Roll your own minimal Swype

[abdealiv]

first of all thanks for the tutorial ..but AFAIK.. Warez and Propriety stuff is not allowed on Samdroid..so please remove the link for Swype apk ..those who have the apk already can optimize it in whatever they want ,however please dont post the link for apk

i guess swype is not warez, still as beta and you can subscribe and download.

please somebody correct me if im wrong

cheers

That is what I said. But it's not a good solution, as I think.

if you use 1 or 2 languages i dont see as a big problem, but yes, it would be the best to eliminate from the list non used languages.

its not warez but its Propriety and they asked to remove the apk's from Threads to all major Forums, and i have seen many threads in samdroid only where Mods have removed the link for swype.

well as emjayes never answer our questions, i have found a way a lot easier than this to roll our own minimal swype, so diovani
pay attention if you want to make it

you need apkmanager, you can find it on xda.

open your swype apk with 7zip or winrar, and delete keyboards and languages that you don't need. then edit languages.lst with notepad+ and save as unix file tipe.
when you finish that, zign your apk with apkmanager and done, you have your minimal swype.

It looks like I've got an older version of Swype, 2.1, on my I5500 from the stock ROM. I tried to install the updated version and it didn't go through with the install.

What does one have to do get it to install ?

Hi, thank you very very much for mod description. I tried to follow you but on win7. It is strategic to me to reduce the swype size. I need to extract only Czech and EN language. But apkbuilder do not want to use your command - it needs not directory but the zip file (see the attachment). if i use the zip option it build the apk file, but android installer do not understand the produced format - the button install and the info about apk file is disappeared :-/

Spending much time to solve it without success. Any suggestion? Thanks!

Well, minimal swype idea is great but I need to ask that how I can add a custom language to latest beta Swype v2.29.71.20203.

I have a custom language file xxxxxx.zdb.le, xxxxxxx.htm and xxxxxx-full.htm. I'm changing to name of for example English and I'm overwriting to existing files. I'm deleting META.INF folder and signing via dign.apk.

I'm uninstalling old one and installing own modified one but when I select English it says "Open of English failed!" but the other languages works without any problem.

ı tried this method with previously version of swype and it was working like a charm.

What's my mistake?
