I hope someone can provide a definitive solution, because I've gotten to the place where Swype is invaluable to my phone experience and I also want the latest version.
Here is how I installed the latest swype (first time noob)
-Registered blah blah
-Uninstall through titanium backup (select and hold)
-Deleted some system file that had something to do with UI and swype (try swype.apk and something else, sorry I can't recall or find the thread that helped me)
-Installed swype through their installer app (got an error)
-Uninstalled swype installer app and whatever it left behind
-Installed it fresh and it worked perfectly!
Probably the worst way to do it but I was very impatient at the time.

Hi,
I'm having problem with this crap swype !!
Somthing happened and it doesn't show in input anymore !
When I try to install it I got installation failed !!
I went to manage application and I didn't find it there !
So guy where does main files for this crap stored in ! So I can delete them manually and try to install it again !
It's driving me crazy !
I don't know how to remove it but try this first. Go to Manage Applications, press the menu key, select Filter then All. You should be able to find Swype located at the bottom. You can't remove it but select clear data and force closed to see if this helps you.
I hope that helps.
^^^^^
I tried that also but I got same thing swype doesn't show !
yo just get root explorer and go to system/app. loook for swype in that folder and delete it! if you want, you can also delete some swype file from the .lib folder but thats probably not necessary

You cannot remove applications in /system/app. The only way to remove Swype are:
A) Use ADB commands to uninstall it. Search XDA for the ADB thread
B) Get Root Explorer and go into /system/app and delete Swype.apk
Both of these methods require root.
removed swype
i did it by stopping the swype process.
SGS Tools>menu>cleanup System apps>advanced mode> (find swype and stop it)> reboot
ran the swype installer again (beta thing from the site), and it installed.
get absolute system and just uninstall it with that, it completely gets rid of it
Could register for swype beta and download the installer for a reinstall

No need to do it hard way.
Just open Super Manager and go to APK Manager. Then uninstall swype.
Then reboot and you can install Swype BETA
Im trying to get beta swype on my vibrant. Everytime I go into the swype installer I get to the last step and then when it says verifying it force closes. And when I go and check it in my settings it also force closes. Really would like to get this swype working on Nero 3. Anyone have any success and if show can you share how?

Glad I'm not the only one.......haven't seen the "trial ended" note but it just stopped working today and I thought maybe I had inadvertanly changed a setting.
I can't seem to install the new Swype. I rm'd Swype.apk from /system/app using ConnectBot. When the installer runs, it prompts me that it's a system app. When I select install, I get a green check mark and "Application not installed."
Are there any other files that I have to delete for it to install correctly?

Yeah there is a file or two in system/lib you gotta delete. I remember one but cannot find the other one. So Im stuck where you are too.
*edit Nevermind, you gotta reboot after you uninstall those two files [the apk and the libswypescore or whatever its called.] Then after reboot the new apk will install. Im now on the latest 3.6.84.etc whatever the version number is

I had gotten to the same point. So I copy and pasted a Swype apk from an old Rom I still have (SC 2.9.2) to my system/app to see if that would work but it didn't take. Then without removing the apk, I tried running the installer again and it took. Not sure how or why but I've got swype back.

Thanks much
I found a link here on hwo to install the swype beta on a different phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154334
So you don't have to click here are the steps
1) To update the pre-installed Swype to Swype beta you have to have root access or else this isn't going to work
2) Download "Root App Remover" and "Root Explorer" from the android market
3) Run Root App Remover (it will take a minute for it to initially scan the phone for system and user apps)
4) Using Root App Remover go to system apps scroll down to Swype tap it and press recycle, to completely uninstall it (which you have to do) press menu then "SystemApp Recycler" and uninstall it.
5) Run Root Explorer and press the "Mount R/W" button at the top if it isn't already selected, after that to go "system" folder then the "lib" folder and delete the file "libswypecore.so" (if it isn't there then go back into system and then back again)
6) After that go into the "data" folder then the "data" folder and delete "com.android.android.inputmethod" file (if its not there then quit root explorer)
7) After that go to the Swype Beta Website and register, go through all the various steps untill you've finished downloading and installing the Swype Installer.
8) Run Swype Installer and go through all the steps, then download and install the Swype Beta, generate the license using the installer and your done the newest Swype beta is now installed one you Samsung Galaxy S

So in step 6 when you go to delete the file, I don't see that in my list and wanted to know if it has a different name for our phone.
I tried just un-installing Swype with titanium backup (after backing it up) and then installing the beta but after a restart it would throw an error saying Swype stopped working over and over again until I de-selected it. But I did not follow these steps, only the uninstall and install portions.
Any advice is appreciated.
I had the same issue but then I tried the steps again, and restarted twice and it seemed to work. now I get an error after boot saying it isn't licensed correctly but then it goes away and works for me perfectly.

I uninstalled Swype with TBP, deleted the libswypecore.so file, rebooted, and installed the beta. It was that simple for me...
here is the new swype and market, swype is new and improved. all I ask is hit the thanks button ;-)
Swype:3.269.2
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13365992/apk's/Swype_MULTILANG_ALLRES_v3.apk
Market 3.2.11 (need to change name to vending)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13365992/apk's/Market-3.3.11.apk
Edit: market installation
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot

hey,
that method leads to FC's and installing the apk leads to app not being installed.

The same thing happens to me when I try to install the Swype app....
Thanks for the link. How the heck do I get it to work without the constant force closes?
make sure it's named vendor.apk and change permissions to fit the other system apps.
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access) Move New Market to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first) Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) fix Permissions (rw--r--r)Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)

Thanks for the market tips. Everything worked fine. My biggest problem is with the swype. f/c's start when I reboot phone. Running CM stable for vibrant. Don't know how to fix...
Good news, I updated to CM nightly 168 and the FC problem stopped for now.

If you having problems installing the swype apk... you can use Ti backup to uninstall swype, then reboot (important). install swype directly through "files" app or "my files". Worked for me!!
you guys realize that swype updates itself through the settings>input>swype settings> ..
right??? I guess its after the last update mines been updating
Any themes around?
