so i just updated to the newest version on my EVO and my swype is force closing non-stop.
Background info - I was an official swype beta tester and had the most recent swype beta installed prior to update install
I noticed on the change log that this update was supposed to include swype (after the fact, of course).
So i had swype beta installed when i said yes to the update.
Do you think because i had the beta installed during the update messed it all up?
I uninstalled the beta and there is no trace of swype on my phone. when i reinstall swype beta, it crashes.
any help would be appreciated! i miss my swype.
So lemme get this right. You received the new update already. Get in contact with a dev so it can be pulled from your phone and distributed to the rest of us. Lol

it was taking me too long cuz i'm an idiot
anyway, can anyone help with me swype issue?
Go to Applications, Swype, Clear Data. If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall it. If that doesn't work, try clearing cache and Dalvik cache from recovery.
If it still doesn't work downgrade to a previous version ROM. Or use Ultra Keyboard, which is leaps and bounds better than Swype.

Son of a...This is confirmed. Just downloaded the update (before I came here) and now Swype is stuck. I was also a tester and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Beta version but that has not worked. I suppose a warning from HTC might have been appropriate, given the popularity of Swype and the fact that they just did a Beta release! Lesson learned. At the very least, come over here and see if anyone else has had any trouble. DOH!
Update: It's a fairly simple fix. Just uninstall the Swype Installer and Swype itself, then shut down and restart. It should just reboot with the new Swype in place.
if you guys are official swype beta users like myself then you should know one of swype's main rules is DON'T INSTALL SWYPE ON A DEVICE THAT COMES PRELOADED WITH SWYPE.

CONFIRMED!
Hi there,
I'm looking for the Swype keyboard for the HTC Legend. I'm currently running a Froyo Rom. I tried one from this website, which didn't work so well, I don't know if it was me or the application because when I opened it, it told me that my trial period expired and that I should upgrade my Swype keyboard application. When I tried using Swype, it would show the line going across but it just wouldn't do anything when I go through the letters, I can only tap on the letters, which would be useless because I would just go back to the normal input method. Any tips? Ideas? Or links to a good Swype Keyboard? The one I tried using but didn't work was:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660206
Thanks for the help.
I have that problem as well ever since the latest version of Swype and after I upgraded to Froyo. Not sure whose fault is it. I switched to Gingerbread keyboard since.
try this rar with version 1.6 swype apk file in it
EDIT: as asked by MOD
you can try to register on swype beta site, and get a newer version of swype. i'm using it, and it work like a charm.
I'mm using Swype since about 3 month. I registered to the beta-program, a friend of mine registered last week and got his version about an hour later. I'm using cyanogenmod 6.1 (Froyo) and swype works like a charm. I also tried cynogenmod 7 (Gingerbread), but there swype closes always.
Get rid of d/l links, or a MOD will. I won't report it, I'm just warning you. On XDA this is seen as warez, and Swype has asked that all download links are removed from here, and all other forums. This sucks, I know. Apply to beta test and hope.
Sorry guys
im on the official swype beta and running froyo...seems like everytime i reboot my phone i have to re-install swype? anyone else have this annoying problem?
Off to Gingerbread
I'm sorry if this is a little off topic, but can anyone please send me a working apk of the Gingerbread keyboard?
I'm on Blayo's ROM, 0.5. I've been trying the app in the market with no success. The app keeps getting FC as soon as I touch the keyboard.
Thank you very much!

I think that is the case if you install swype on sd.
Try to move the app to your phone.

I am having the same problem, but I'm using data2ext on balyo's b05 rom.I solve this problem by switching input method to touch input and then back to swype.swype is back to normal.

I am using swype on my legend, every reboot you need to long press in a text box and select the android keyboard, then doit again and select swipe, its a known bug. From what i understand it is a problem with timing. Hope this helps.

I was using Swype on Froyo (CyanogenMOD 6.1) without problems. With Gingerbread (CyanogenMOD 7 experimental builds) I had some trouble, as the Swype-keyboard disapeared immediately. After uninstalling Swype and reinstalling it via Swype-Installer everything works again as it should.
2 seconds ago i click about phone and it says in running 2.2.27-blue-gingerbread. i went to take a screenshot and it now says im running 2.2 trigger 2.6 anyways trigger only user gingerbread keyboard and i hate it some one have swipe.apk that i can flash on the phone?
Just download Swype from the Market.
Sign up for the beta and use the installer app included with the ROM...
is the rom im running a stable day to day rom?

Look in here for the Swype beta thread or google that then go and sign up so you can download directly to your phone (make sure the email is the one you use on the phone) Then follow the directions and you will have the latest Swype

you can get swype many ways. you can sign up for swype beta at beta.swype.com and then use the installer included with Trigger to install it. Or you can use a program like ACS (link in my sig) to download a flashable Swype zip

Listen to the developer of your rom... the beta is better than the version on the stock Vibrant. You need to spend some time reading man, it would really help and I do not mean that to be rude.
I wanted to try out the newly released version of swype. So I deleted the preloaded swype and installed the new version. Everything worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Swype kept fc. I did have a back up of the old one. So I deleted the newer swype, and tried to restore the preloaded swype with Titanium Backup. TB said back up finished, but I couldn't find swype in the language section in the settings.
What can I do to have the preloaded swype again?
Moved as not android development
Has anybody successfully replaced pre-installed Swype with latest beta?
I thought I would try and install the latest version of Swype beta to replace the pre-installed version. I rooted, and followed the instructions at http://forum.swype.com/showthread.php?1641-Tutorial-Installing-Beta-Swype-on-Droid-X
However, like the op, Swype kept force closing on me even as I was trying to install it.
Has anybody been successful in updating Swype?
Cheers,
Steve.
don't choose the full language pack when installing swype beta. it keeps fc-ing on me

Can you remember what steps you took to disable the pre-installed version and install the beta? Rooting, and renaming the 3 files listed didn't seem to work properly for me.
Cheers,
Steve.
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall swype. Then followed the steps on swype website to install the beta version

After uninstall the old version ,try to delete the file which is in /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so,than install the full version of Swype2.15.56.14870
Apparently, the new beta will not work if we've already got it installed.
Shame as some of the add-ons and tweaks sound like a good step forward.
Anyone got any ideas if they'll ever update the versions we've got preinstalled? or is it simply waiting on it to leave beta and end up in the store?
With the SGS1, swype was updated whenever the firmware was updated.
It works, you just have to "force install" it.
I've been using it for over a week now. Works great. Can't sync with Facebook (to get custom words) but other than that I'm typing away.
how do u guys get the new version 3 to install? I download the Installer from Swype.com by login to my account. Then when i run it, it say to disable swype first but i was unable to do that.
Thanks 4 the help!

you could remove swype from /system/app like I did and then install the new version

Yep, you have to force uninstall the stock version, which requires root and something like Titanium Backup.
Or, if you like making things more difficult for yourself, you can go into /system/apps and delete Swype.apk and delete libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib and then install.
cool thanks!
Yesh I realised after we could force install it, I'm gonna leave it and hope they update with the next firmware. I'm running pretty close to stock at the minute, want to get a feel for the phone in it's naked state to start with.
Thanks for all the info guys. Much appreciated.
sweet, I forgot to backup my stock swype though before I uninstalled, what will happen when the beta expires?
so i installed the new version, reboot the phone and then swype isnt swyping anymore, just regular typing works. Then i tried to reinstall it and it said "Generating license failed".. anyone knows the fix for this?

Happened to me too I removed the beta with titanium and reinstalled
I like the principle of swype but find it frustrating to use due to the dictionary giving bizarre choices and editing being counter intuative. I look forward to trying beta 3 of swype but until Samsung deliver it on a future firmware update I'm not using it any more. However I have just discovered SlideIT and a m trying it out, it works just like swype and my opinion is favorable, it seems more accurate and easier to edit mistakes. It is a free trial and the full version costs money but it looks like a good alternative too those of us that don't root and therefore can't have swype beta 3 yet

I'd been using the beta for oh maybe 9 months and it only ran out once and all I did was log back into the site and generated another license.
I look forward to Samsung rolling out another version in the firmware. The one installed seemed smoother than my old beta, who knows the new beta might be even better.
Since 2.3 editing wrongly spelt words became much more annoying. Though I swear it's slowly learnt how I type.
So it's not possible without root ?
