Gingerbread theme for Swype (HVGA)

Let’s face it, Swype is ugly and there are not many HVGA themes out there, so here we have a Gingerbread-inspired HVGA Swype theme.

What you need:

1. apk manager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701)
2. ADB pull your Swype from /data/app/
3. HxD if you want to modify the color of the tracer line (http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/)
4. Swype GB theme files (attached — download and unzip)

How-to install:

1. in apk manager, place Swype apk into folder place-apk-here-for-modding
2. run Script.bat
3. choose 19 (-Select compression level for apks-)
   • choose 0 for compression level
4. choose 22 (-Set current project-)
   • choose the number corresponding to your Swype file
5. choose 9 (-Decompile apk-)
6. go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > assets > keyboards and overwrite Swype keyboard PNGs with themed files.
7. go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > res > drawable and overwrite Swype horizontal selection highlight files with themed files. (these are for landscape mode word suggestions — see screenshot#5)
8. go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > res > drawable-hdpi and overwrite Swype voice input files with themed files. (see screenshot#4)
9. if you want to change the color of the Swype trail:
   • go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > lib > armeabi
   • open libSwypeCore.so in HxD
   • CTRL+F (search) for DD A2 5B
   • find a color you want to use and note it’s HEX value. (IIRC, I used #ffba00)
   • switch values around so that it is B-G-R (mine would be 00 BA FF)
   • replace values and save
   • a .bak file will be created in the directory — delete it
10. when you are finished with all mods, go back to console window and choose 11 (-Compile apk-)
    • choose Y (-is this a system apk-)
    • followed by N (-would you like to copy over any additional files-)
11. choose 12 to sign your apk
12. signed apk is in place-apk-here-for-modding folder
13. uninstall your previous version of Swype before installing this one!
