Okay, I'm on Dell's 2.2 from the QDL, 305 build 10688.
I had been using the swype beta previous to using the QDL tool. Once on 2.2 I really didn't like the preinstalled swype as much as the beta version. Found out that I couldn't just install beta over the preinstalled. Used root explorer, deleted swype from /system/app, used swype installer, and got the beta version of swype working just fine...until I did a battery pull.
Booted back up and started getting the constant force close with swype again. Deleted the swype beta, went back to /system/app, swype still gone...
What else do I need to do to keep swype beta from force closing after a hard boot?
Thanks in advance folks.

Would this also work on the HTC Evo i want the beta version back and get ride of the preisntalled version.
If you're like me, you want Swype when your in portrait and the moto keyboard when your in landscape. This helpful app does that for you.
Keyboard Manager (root users)

Keyboard Manager was a big motivator for me to root my phone. I love it! I use Swype in portrait and the GB keyboard from the market in landscape.
what are the best keyboards to use right now?

I'm using thumb keyboard right now & very pleased with it. Its very customizable & has several different keyboard themes.
Any keyboards that are free? I am cheap. I like to test them before I buy the full version.

Give Hacker's Keyboard a try. First of all it's free, and totally customizable. Only keyboard installed on my X2.
I was running Swype in portrait and GB in landscape, but recently GO Keyboard became my top choice for landscape. I like it.
Since this thread has started this has been one of my favorite apps
Im having problems with the links, it keeps taking me to a dnsse search or something. Not sure why! is Hacker's app on the market? Same with the keyboard manager?

Same issue here on any ICS ROM. After searching the Swype forums, there are ALOT of people in this boat. From my reading, it only has this issue on ICS. To paraphrase Nuance's / Swype's response: "The OEMs and carriers are our customers, not you, so get over it. We'll fix it when we feel like it."
Hey ppl. I dont know weather I'm gonna help you with this.
I suggest you use Touch Pal keyboard. Its super fast than Swype and accurate. Its my favorite keyboard. As soon as i flash new ROMs, the first thing i download is TouchPal. Check there demos at the below site.

They use something called Touchpal Curve, Which is much easier than Swype. Which predicts loooooong words really fast.

I find that TouchPal is far less accurate than Swype, plus has some sort of glitterly line instead of just a plain jane line when swyping. Thanks, but no thanks.

You can turn that off in settings.
I'd recommend uninstalling, then cleaning cache, then trying to install swype beta (which supports ICS):

Tried that and it did not work. What worked for me was installing the Swype Beta installer, then installed the Swype apk located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27247484&postcount=3890
The keyboard installed and I was able to update it to the latest and am using Swype on ICS happily.

You know there is a "trace" keyboard option under language and keyboard in ICS.
Swype HTC Style, just as good.

I know that is an option, but after using it for a while, I wanted to throw my phone against the wall. It's auto word selection is not as good (actually, it's pretty horrible). For example, every time I typed good, the trace keyboard would put god, no matter how many times I fixed it. Swype learns and so the auto selection is uncannily accurate with Swype (almost psychic).
Also, if the auto selection gets it wrong with Swype and I am past the word, I can go back and click the word and it still offers suggestions. The built in one only offers selections for the current word so if I found a mistake, I would have to retype the whole word.
To me, the built in HTC one is a poor man's Swype.

Is it possible to install the stock android keyboard? I don't like the the samsung keyboard but don't want to install a custom ROM. Thanks.
Download the Swype beta msn. It's free indefinitely. It's the best keyboard on the market

He said stock android, not swype.. And swype being the "best" is all opinion. I cant stand swype. To me swiftkey 3 is the best
You can (with no root) just sideload the .apk of the android keyboard as well.
LatinIME.apk is the file.
