Swype Keyboard works on the NookColor - Nook Color Themes and Apps

Just installed Swype on the NOOK. Man this keyboard rocks.
You need a rooted device to install the Swype apk into the /system/app directory.
Run the app from there then select the Swype keyboard from the keyboard selection option in settings.
Works like a charm.
Nookcolor, after Auto-Nooter 3.0.0 (1.1 only)

Would you be willing to post the apk or email it to me?

---

I don't think you can post links to download the Swype apk. PMs are okay though.
Oh and... can you add me to the PM list?
EDIT: Whoops, spoke too soon. Thanks!

Follow the link above. It's direct from Swype as they are in open beta. " LEGAL"

When I try to install it, it tells me it's not supported on my device.

You've got to use the version from the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Doing this requires changes to the build.prop to match the Tab's settings. After rebooting and installing the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so it works great!

Can you post prop changes?

Not true,
I simply installed the Swype.apk as stated in the OP.
PM Sent!

I'm signed up for the Beta, but it's a no-go for the install. Should I be making changes to the build.prop? I've only seen people's ENTIRE build.prop posted, but would rather just change what's needed (when I used another build.prop, it stopped booting).
What are you running for your ROM? 2.1, 2.2, 2.3? I'm currently running Nightly 8 of CM7. Would LOVE to get Swype running, but I'm getting the "Screen size not supported" error.

I confirm that this works on the customized 0.6.8 Froyo. I just installed the apk like i would normally with no modifications or anything like that. Thank you OP.
