I have been on MIUIWIZ for awhile and recently my swype keyboard said my trial has ended. Has this happened to anyone else? Anybody know why it happened?

It happened to me too using Com Rom 2.1 patch...
same here on mine and my co-workers fascinate. Both running ukb
Edit: out of curiosity, would the swype from the GB leak work or does that fall into the "ukb has special swype" column?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It happened to me running Comm Rom 2.0. It was still an issue after applying the 2.1 patch.
Update: I fixed the issue by following these instructions to install the latest beta version. Though, it's not the same version (3.x instead of 2.x). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128986
Happened to me at exactly 12:00 AM...
I got the same on Com Rom 2.0 with a themed version of Swype (from v2.75 Steel Blue). Putting Swype 3.0 did solve the problem.
Fascinate users are legally allowed to have Swype obviously, according to http://www.xda-developers.com/android/official-stance-from-swype-inc-regarding-its-distribution/, however the Swype version must be the same that was pre-installed (stock). I'm guessing a lot of the current ROMs are putting in newer versions of Swype, causing these license disagreements.
Thanks guys I did end up putting swype 3.0 on and I thought we were allowed to have it but someone cleared that up too.Thank you

I downloaded flext9 from Amazon when it was the free app of the day a little while ago. Finally have an excuse to try it out. I kind of like it, to be honest.
All I did was delete swype using titanium backup and downloaded beta by going to swype.com
Working fine now and I think I like this version better

That's what I did too. After uninstalling in titanium backup you have to REBOOT. 3.x rocks. It's more accurate and also has words above the keyboard

Same issue here
So I removed the stock swype from the Photon because well it just isnt the one I like. So I got the new 3.0 and installed it. It worked perfectly until I restarted. Then I got force close after force close until I disabled swype. Not sure why this is happeneing I did this when we just had root and it did this originally but I reinstalled and got it to work fine after reboots. Any ideas?
Thanks

Same thing happened to me. The new 3.0 worked great until a reboot, then I got a ton of force closes. I uninstalled 3.0, trashed the new lib, and reinstalled. She's been solid through several reboots since.
Prob not what you want to hear but on the Swype site on the 3.0 download page it says that if your phone came with Sywpe 3.0 beta will not work on your device.

You have to delete the Swype that came with it before it will even install 3.0.
I had similar problems. My solution was to disable Swype 3.0, uninstall (using manage applications), then reinstall. As stated before, I've been solid through several reboots since.
When you remove the included swype you also need to remove /system/lib/lib Swype forensic

Nope, I already tried that and it didn't remove the lib file
Where are you guys getting the new swype from? The official website says the beta won't work if your device came pre-installed with swype. Is there a non-beta version available?

I froze Swype with TB and installed the beta. now it says its updated and works fine.
Night and day between Swype 3.25 beta and the one that was installed 2.7. Loving 3.25.
Just installed the Prerealse of Sype 3.25 and it seems to work a lot better on the Photon then 3 that was always force closing on me. Also on this version you can finally remove words from your personal dictorany in the settings menu. No more highlighting word the pressing swyp key.
How you do it? The updated installer won't recognize that I want to update it lol

how did you delete the original swype? by renaming /system/app/Swype.apk and

There is also another file. I install whatever one you want, in this case 3.25. Reboot then as it is force closing go into keyboards and disable it. Then go into manage applications and uninstall swype. Then reinstall it with the installer. Done deal
The problem is there is one more file besides the lib/apk. I don't know what/where it is, this is just how I do it, works for me perfectly. No need to rename anything.
So to recap,
delete swype apk.
install 3.25 using the installer
reboot and disable swype (stops the FC's)
go to manage applications under settings>applications, then uninstall swype (not swype installer, just Swype)
reinstall Swype with the installer again.

I removed the apk and the library files, rebooted into BSR, cleared cache and dalvik and then rebooted.
I then downloaded the beta and installed it. Then, if I go into Settings->Language & keyboard->Swype Settings, it FCs. If I try to set the input type to Swype, it FCs as well.
I tried grabbing the Swype.apk and the lib.so file from Eclipse 1.3 and installed that. No force closes, but swyping doesn't work. In fact, I get a message that since it's from a different phone, some functionality may be limited. But, it doesn't FC.

Hmm, I can't get it to work. It keeps FCing on me no matter what I try. I rebooted, cleared the cache and dalvik in BSR and nothing.
Maybe what I'll do today is SBF back 2.3.4 and then put CM7 beta on it. Before, I just flashed the beta over the alpha. Not sure if that was the problem or not.
UPDATE: Okay, I SBF'd back to 2.3.4, rooted and install CM7 beta. Installed Swype beta and all is well.
So, moral of the story is, you really SHOULD sbf back to 2.3.4 no matter what when installing CM7. I don't care what others have stated, but it's just safer to start with a clean slate. In fact, I have noticed even better performance than before. I really think some remnants from the Alpha were causing some of the issues I was seeing with Swype.

I installed into CM7 via Titanium Backup, I only started having FC issues(toasts) after I had updated the version. I know this is NOT a CM7 issue, I have used the same apk on multiple installs and multiple ROM's, Swype works great, I just don't update it.

I updated swype beta without errors on cm7.. not sure, but I had issues with TiBu when I first went to cm7... but Those issues somehow worked themselves out. But non the less, I suggest installing the Beta Installer for swype, unless you are deving a ROM and then, just put the files in the correct areas and your fine.
When I installed CM7 everything was fresh. I made sure to do the big 3 more times than required just because. With that said, after everything was installed I installed Swype Beta from the installer.
It seems to work just fine for the most part however, some functionality appears to be broken. In the options I have suggestions for words disabled yet, the suggestions still appear.
I also have words that seem to appear, such as, "Sooooo" which I've never said, nor added to the dictionary. Previously, when a word was entered into the dictionary that did not belong, I used to be able to highlight the word and press the swype key to remove it, this does not seem to be the case anymore. In addition, the above word was not found in the dictionary when accessing it from the settings menu.
All in all, it does work, just some minor annoyances for me a this time. No show stoppers though.

Since flashing CM7DX2 almost every app i put back using TiBu had had problems. Sometimes clearing data for the app fixed other times had to reinstall using the apk and then restore data only from TiBu. I've seen several posts saying TiBu doesn't play well with CM7. As for Swype beta i installed it immediately after flashing CM7 using the installer and have had no issues at all with it.

I did not have too. Flashed CM7DX2 over stock rooted 2.3.4 without sbf and without removing stock Swype keyboard.
After flashing installed Swype beta without deleting any files. Unlike the stock 2.3.4 ROM, Swype is not installed with CM7DX2 ROM.

I just did that few days ago. New beta SWYPE is probably a hundred times more accurate/pretty than the stock one that comes with the phone. Haven't tried too much of Dragon dictation but still definitely worth getting it.
I did it twice actually since I just flashed SHOstock ROM.
The first time i followed these directions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20893638
The second time I just used titanium backup and it worked just as well with no issues.
Good luck.
I haven't had any problems with it. I don't use the dragon feature, but I did test it and it works.
I manually removed the APK the first time, but like the previous poster said, TB also works.
The .so file was versioned, so I left it on there (it won't be used by a newer version anyway, since that will have its own).
Just select Swype in TB and select "Uninstall".
Then install the Swype installer and go from there.
Just keep in mind you'll have to do that anytime you flash a stock ROM that has it included.
If you flash a ROM with integrated swype, without wiping data, swype will crash when you try to use it.
Just go back into TB, uninstall the system version (you'll see two in the list), then select the beta version and "Wipe Data" and that'll fix it.
Thanks for the help guys! In fact I'm writing this post with my new Swype!

Dragon
I used dragon dictation in my car on my way back from work and i was so happy with it. I sent 8 texts and only made 3 errors. Its on par with google's speech to text. It uses very little data too...i only have 200 mb so i have to be careful with stuff like that.
I'm loving the Swype Beta w/Dragon. I use Unnamed 2.2.1 and had no probs at all deleting the old skype with root explorer and downloading the installer. Dragon dictation works great and swype's accuracy seems much better. A+ all around!
