Automatic Updates have finally arrived! Once installed, this latest version of Swype will let you install updates on-the-fly via Swype Connect.
* When an update is ready, you'll receive an Android Notification informing you that an upgrade is available
* Install the update right through the Swype Settings window
* Your user dictionary and settings will automatically be saved during the update!
Version is 3.26. Just curious: I forgot to note what version of Swype came pre-installed on the phone. Does anyone know what it is? This is my first time updating Swype. The layout is much different.
3.23 was the version on my device but i updated it to 3.25 which included gestures for cut, copy, and paste.

You're not allowed to distribute Swype on XDA, other than the one that comes with the phone.

Ah, okay.
Seems odd, since it's not warez. It comes preinstalled, and is also available for free through their website for those who don't have it preinstalled. I just didn't know how to update it since I do already have it preinstalled.
On my Captivate I had awful problems caused by uninstalling the preinstalled version, so I could use the Swype installer, and was hoping to avoid that this time.
Thanks anyway.
From the site:
If your phone came pre-installed with Swype DO NOT download this beta (it won't work)

EDIT: Also, this:
When trying to uninstall Swype through Application Settings the only reason why you would be unable to select the uninstall button is that you're attempting to uninstall the production version of Swype. This either came PreLoaded with your device, or your Carrier included it in an OTA update. Swype production can not be uninstalled.
If this is the case and Swype is not appearing as your input method, simply go to any application that supports text entry (such as SMS or Email), long-press on any text box (the place where text would appear as you type), choose Input Method in the popup, and select Swype from the list of available choices.
IF YOU ARE RECEIVING CRASHES AFTER AN OTA SYSTEM UPDATE: Because Swype Beta is incompatible with Swype Production and can not be installed over top you will need to find a duplicate Swype entry in your Application Settings (The entry for Swype Beta) and uninstall that. Swype will force close when trying to be used until Swype Beta is uninstalled.
If you have a production device and would still like to test the Beta for us the only way we can support you is if you install another ROM that does not come with Swype PreLoaded.
If you would still like to try to uninstall Swype on a production devices you will need to delete or rename /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so before installing the Beta. I will stress that this is NOT SUPPORTED in anyway. Some firmware has other framework customizations by the carrier that will cause further complications if these files are removed. If you try to uninstall Swype from a production device and break it the only advice we can give you is to seek instructions on how to reload your device with the stock rom.

Hi:
Yes, I was aware of that. I am actually a very good reader
That statement is actually not entirely true though.
On the Captivate (haven't tried on the new phone) you had to follow steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9160980&postcount=1
I actually worked perfectly.
My problem was caused by not having done enough research prior to deleting the original, so I didn't at first know to use root explorer to delete the appropriate file.
I am a bit of a worry wart, and almost had a heart attack prior to finding that post, because I thought I was going to have to live without swype lol.
Yea i removed the stock swype.apk.
installed from the beta.swype.com
clean rebooted. now everytime i swype in the word suggestion field it just pops up with "please try again". I can't swype anything.
anyone know how to fix this or things to try?
Have you uninstalled the Swype keyboard and the Swype installer and tried again?

That warning only applies to people who have not rooted and have a pre-installed version of Swype, if you have not rooted you can't remove system apps and will not be able to install the latest beta and have it work.
But for anyone who has rooted you can remove the pre-installed Swype and then install the latest beta directly from their website. It will not cause any problems.

This is the first time i've EVER and i will say EVER encountered this issue (for me of course)
I deleted swype.apk from system/app
deleted libswypecore.so from system/lib
rebooted (like 3 times)
and when i click on swype installer, login, and choose SWYPE FULL to install
after a while it says "parsing error not installed " something in that area.
What can i do to make it actually work?
Currently i have no swype, and without swype, my life is ruined.
a bad download, swype tweeted they uploaded the incorrect full version.
Also, why in the world are you using the full version? You only speak/need English. The lite version should work no problem.

Yes, and i'm using that Sweet Honey one.
Uhm, okay so i did TRY to "think outside the box"
I had a previous version of swype i kept on my SD Card.
I installed that.
Went to Swype Installer.
It recognized the swype version
i logged in.
Then it said "registration failed"
I have the swype keyboard, but no swype gestures or library.
I request that someone goes to system/lib/
and finds libswypecore.so
copies theirs, and gives it to me, so i can use it.
It would be VERY appreciated!
You do realize any tie to swype needs to be removed, then reboot... You can't install swype beta when you already have swype.
Correct.
As far as i know, and this has worked before...
Removing the apk from system/app
and the lib file from system/lib
and rebooting
removes swype.

Go to root explorer then the root directory. Search swype, delete all references. Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, install the beta.
Edit: not the sd card, just the system files.

Turns out me not uninstalling swype installer was the problem :O
Must have had some corrupt data. Usually it will auto update if it's an older version that may cause a problem.
The beta doesn't auto update, you have to open the installer.
The installer I meant..when you open it the installer will update to the latest version then you can check for swype updates.
I had the same issue. Make sure you reboot your phone after you remove the files, then make sure you use the stock browser to download the installer, don't use skyfire or opera or any of those. I had the same issue when i was using skyfire. used the google browser and it worked fine. The website says not to use certain browsers or it won't work.

Do what this guy said... however a little more detailed:
Delete the Swype.apk file in System/App/ using root explorer. Once you do that, re-install using the installer utility.
You should be able to license at that point.
Edit: I did have an issue once where it was trying to add the license file to one of the com.swype folders in Data/Data/. If you do the steps but still can't license, go into that folder and give R/W permissions to any com.Swype folder.

Try this,
1. Uninstall swype, swype installer, or any left over cache
2. Search for any swype files or lib and delete them
3. Reboot
4. Install the apk attached
5. Log in, choose swype english, install, follow the directions on there until it's finished. Otherwise it won't license it if you don't follow all the directions from the app

I think the way I got it to "disable" Swype so it could license it or whatever was to just switch to the other keyboard momentarily.
well anyways im having the same problem but in simply honey 3.8
tried this, but it still won't license. I made sure i hit swype english. any suggestions?

Has anyone had success with this? using this method I was able to get the new version of swype until reboot at which point the old version took over again. I understand that files are rewritten around boot time so i also attempted to use pm disable on swype to see if that would make way for the beta version but this resulted in a hang during swype setup at the licensing part. any success stories yet?
abrabren reported he managed to get it to work with temp root, so my guess is we'll have to wait for perm root for it to stick.
Updating Embedded Swype
SORRY IN ADVANCE, BUT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT BECAUSE I AM A NEW USER, I CANNOT INCLUDE LINKS IN MY POST SO HAPPY GOOGLING TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN REPLACING THEIR SWYPE.
You can now replace the garbage embedded Swype with the hot new Swype Beta 3.0 with a little help from the Fre3vo temp root method.
To start, I highly recommend having all programs you will need installed on your Evo 3d. Start by downloading Titanium Backup as well as the most current version of the Swype Installer. Install both of these programs, BUT DO NOT LAUNCH THEM WITHOUT THE TEMP ROOT.
Next I would go into the keyboard settings and make sure that you do not have Swype set as your selected keyboard.
The next step is to use the Fre3vo temp root method to get single time root access.
As soon as you have achieved your temp root, immediately load into Titanium Backup. Doing this should prompt you for Super User permissions. Click "Allow" and you should have access to backup and modify your programs.
Move down the program list to Swype. Do not confuse Swype Installer with Swype. You can choose to backup Swype if you want, but I would not say it is all that important. On Swype select "Uninstall Program" to fully remove the embedded version of Swype.
Now close Titanium Backup and go right to the Swype Installer and follow the install instructions.
If all went well you should now have the Swype Beta 3.0, which will make you a very happy camper.
WHILE THE TEMP ROOT IS NOT STICKY THIS CHANGE IS. WHEN YOU RESTART YOUR PHONE YOU WILL STILL HAVE THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF SWYPE.
Happy Swyping.
Hello im not sure if this has been open for a while, but you can get swype right now, you need register on the website (was closed beta some days ago) and seems its open right now, not sure if will be open or they will close again.

Sad Panda said:
Wait wait wait, before anyone does anything crazy like that I have a fairly easy work around, if it works for everyone maybe the OP can be edited to include instructions. Let me type it up on my laptop.
---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 AM ----------
Ok so this is what you do if you are getting force closes, OR you are getting the message that swype is already preinstalled and you can't update the beta (this will work if you have 3.25 and can't update or FUBARed 3.26, or should. It worked for me):
a) Grab yourself a copy of Titanium Backup, free version works just fine.
b) Open Titanium Backup and backup BOTH the installer and Swype (3.xx)
1) In Tit. (giggity) Backup delete both the installer and Swype (3.xx)
2) Go Download the new swype beta installer http://beta.swype.com//android/user/login/
3) Go ahead and install the installer, and once done, install Swype from that installer.
Now once swype is successfully installed you are going to reobtain your dictionary from your original install. You only need to restore the installer if there is a problem with it or something.
4) Restore Swype 3.xx and when the prompt comes up you select (Data Only). This is important, we dont want to install anything but the app data, like settings and most importantly your dictionary.
Now, everything should be working perfect. You should have the latest Swype, and your dictionary. This should work for every future update too. Let us know if this worked, it worked for me!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i did this at begining, and after wipe (installer and swype) i did a reboot
and then swype install perfect, as a note, restoring data from TB will bring the dictionary and some settings but will override (with no option to bring back) the languages, for example before the data restoring i have 5 languages to choose, after data restore i have 2 (the original language of my previous version) i guess "clicking" update in updater will bring the other languages.

I uninstalled my current swype, downloaded and installed the new swype. Everything worked fine until I rebooted. I now get constant swype force closes. I tried wiping data for the app as well as cache and davlik in recovery and it still crashes. Any ideas?

I uninstalled my current swype, downloaded and installed the new swype. Everything worked fine until I rebooted. I now get constant swype force closes. I tried wiping data for the app as well as cache and davlik in recovery and it still crashes. Any ideas?

Same thing happened to me. I uninstalled with titanium. Rebooted. Made sure Swype was nowhere in the applications. Download and install Swype. I had done issues with super user, so updated, then uninstalled Swype, then rebooted, then installed again and it worked. Don't know why it was being such a whore to install.

Wait wait wait, before anyone does anything crazy like that I have a fairly easy work around, if it works for everyone maybe the OP can be edited to include instructions. Let me type it up on my laptop.

Ok so this is what you do if you are getting force closes, OR you are getting the message that swype is already preinstalled and you can't update the beta (this will work if you have 3.25 and can't update or FUBARed 3.26, or should. It worked for me):
a) Grab yourself a copy of Titanium Backup, free version works just fine.
b) Open Titanium Backup and backup BOTH the installer and Swype (3.xx)
1) In Tit. (giggity) Backup delete both the installer and Swype (3.xx)
2) Go Download the new swype beta installer http://beta.swype.com//android/user/login/
3) Go ahead and install the installer, and once done, install Swype from that installer.
Now once swype is successfully installed you are going to reobtain your dictionary from your original install. You only need to restore the installer if there is a problem with it or something.
4) Restore Swype 3.xx and when the prompt comes up you select (Data Only). This is important, we dont want to install anything but the app data, like settings and most importantly your dictionary.
Now, everything should be working perfect. You should have the latest Swype, and your dictionary. This should work for every future update too. Let us know if this worked, it worked for me!

This method works fine until a restart, will update with the fix ASAP

AHH HA! Duplicate these steps (backup and restore process) and it will work as I described, INCLUDING after a restart. It looks like there was a minor update AFTER this update.
So, do this as of 6:30 AM MST 10/21/11 and everything should work great, you will have the latest swype, and your dictionary saved from a previous install. Ta Da!
OP updated
Sweet, zen kun. Thanks for updating the OP. That should help our friends get the update working.
Thanx for the heads up on this. I like this version already
