Can't uninstall Swype - Vibrant Themes and Apps

I have searched forums here at xda as well as others for the last hour and I can't seem to get the answer i'm looking for. I need to uninstall swype and swype installer but when I go to settings/applications/manage applications I see swype and I select it uninstall is greyed out. I've already switched to android keyboard i thought that was the prob but no luck. I tried uninstalling from Linda file manager no luck. I also tried root explorer. All i see in root explorer is swype apk no swype installer found. I'm running nero v2 with lag fix. I'd really like to know the exact path for both swype and installer if possible and/or a solution to uninstall both. Thanks!!!

Just set in chuck nauris mode in the prefs.... I.tend to freeze all my stock appear first to make sure that no instability arrises from taking them out of commission...

I tried that, Swype is gone now, but the new beta won't install.
I know that we're not supposed to go and pass along hacked versions of swype, and I'm cool without it.
I was just wondering if I'm messing something up during the install from the Swype Installer.

you also have to delete libswype from system/lib. Then after that reboot and it will install.

This. There are 2 system files that are used with built in swype installs.
Delete: Swype.apk from /system/app
Delete: libswypecore.so from /system/lib
I like to clear dalvik cache after that using CWR but it doesn't seem to be necessary.
After that you should be able to download the beta and install it.

I use es file explorer (root needed I believe) then press the sd icon in the upper left.
Here you can find system.
hope this helps

Using es file explorer;
Change to different keyboard,
Open file explorer,
Press upper left button that looks like sd card,
Choose system, then app,
Delete Swype.apk,
Go back,
Goto lib
Delete libswypecore.so,
Reboot into recovery and clear dalvik cache,
install new swype.
Worked for me every time I tried it.

Make sure you have the r/o option checked, not the r/w. Many of the steps suggested have worked flawlessly, so try again.

Yeah just make sure your using root explorer. Its that button that says r/o and r/w not in the settings itself.

Strange, I didn't have to do that...perhaps a difference with Nero and Axura..

I feel like a complete dunce for asking this, but I'm having the same problem and don't understand what you mean by r/o... I've looked all through the prefs. that damn libswypecore is seperating me from a clean swype install...

Try doing this
Go on cwm recovery and flash this
