Theres a new version of the Swype beta that is IMMENSELY better than the preloaded swype that comes with the atrix, it literally fixes all the annoying things of the older Swype versions:
http://beta.swype.com/
Swype 3.x beta works with the method below!
Process:
1) Use Root Explorer/Terminal/ADB to backup and then delete Swype.apk from /system/app and libSwypecore.so from /System/lib
2) Download the installer from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/ (on your phone)
3) Use installer to login and install latest version of swype
After your first phone reboot, if you are experiencing Swype Force closes after installing the latest swype, uninstall swype from your phone and then reinstall it; it should no longer force close after reboot.
If you are still experiencing force crashing after reinstall, try wiping your dalvik cache within CWM. Thanks Dudeman Broguy.
If you want to get in the latest beta, sign up over here. Registrations are open right now, hurry before they close them again!
Thanks to playin4sheezy for figuring this out: post #12
yes, i have been using it all day and it looks and feels great! if you have sideloading enabled, when you start the install it will ask to over write the current one.

Im trying to use the installer and it tells me to disable swype, and you cant disable the built in one. Can you pm me the apk?
Yea, I get to the point where it says "Licensing Swype, please wait...." and it doesn't get past that.
You need to go into /system/app and move Swype.apk to a backup folder on /mnt/sdcard
Then go into /system/lib and do the same for libSwypeCore.so
Give it a reboot and then try to install the beta. It worked for me
How did you move the apk, it wont allow me to do so

you have to use root explorer (and be rooted) or you could use terminal/adb (still have to be rooted)
Sorry for the noob questions! Move it completely? or make a back up of it? and also any apps out there like root explorer but free ?
I tried the above steps but the libswypecore is still in the system folder when i move it as it is read only...

If youre rooted, root explorer is worth the money. You have to move Swype.apk completely, and make sure its not there after moving or the install wont work.
Make sure if you are in Root Explorer that you click the R/W button at the top to make the system folder Read/Write access. Then long press the files and click move and goto sdcard and make a folder named "whatever you want" then click paste..
Or you could do this using adb with Atrix plugged into the computer:
goto command prompt
type the following:
adb shell
su
mkdir /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
cp /system/app/Swype.apk /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
cp /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
Hopefully this gets you going

Is your phone rooted? If so, then when you typed su in adb shell(not terminal) did it ask you for superuser permission? If so, then you should make sure and accept it.
If your phone is not rooted, then I don't think your gonna get this working

I would suggest someone testing that you can in fact put it back to the stock setup. Mine somehow got deleted when i first got the phone, and it doesn't come back, factory reset or otherwise.

i have been messing with swype for the last few days
i can guarentte you that if u installed / mounted a messed up version of swype (WVGA with a language pack in my case), you can just use put the backup stock swype back on /system/app and it'll be fine again
i get an error on sign-in into the installer, says device id dont match. any ideas?
EDIT: I had to log into mySwype and remove my old phone (nexus one) and then now it works!

depends. are you on the stock rom or a custom rom?
custom = just reflash the rom

I also reckon that booting into recovery and simply restoring a NANDRROID backup is your best bet.
But, if this isn't possible then I think you need to be root when in ADB which is done with the su command
adb shell
su
(this should change the prompt, I think from # to $ or the otherway)
Make an update.zip of build.prop and flash
Or try qtadb

qtadb looks like a good app but when it starts;
"adbd cannot run as root in productions so you cant do anything /system partition. Run anyway?"
I was thinking of a update.zip with my working build.prop but didnt really know what i was doing, If you know what your doing with update.zip's and its not to much trouble do you think you could knock it up for me if i send it to you?
Once again thanks for your reply's!!!

you can find it in /system/app
I don't think it will work however since it's odexed. perhaps a deodexed version would work better.

1. You need at least 600 MB of free space on USB (archos.ext4.zip and place to unpack)
2. Open terminal in the folder where archos.ext4 is located and:

Code:
sudo umount mnt

Sorry, I thought you were talking about center clock. Well try again, it is a tricky job, and is easy to make mistake in the process. In CM settings there is option bottom statusbar so the notification icons are down . I will also try to apply the tweak, if it works will share.
Well, seeing a thread with this name I thought to just join in rather than openning a new one well, I downloaded xUltimate, pulled and deodexed the apks and....now what ? I assume I have to switch the original system files with these new ones, but how ? Sorry for the nooby question
create 2 folder on sdcard, in first copy deodexed file from /system/app, in second from /system/framework then boot in recovery, mount system and sdcard run adb and replace file in /system/app and /system/framework. After that use adb to remove .odex files form /syste/app and /system/framework.
Code:
adb shell
su
cp /sdcard/(noame of the folder)/*.* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/name of the folder)/*.* /system/framework
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
reboot
If i miss some command make somebody corect me.

Thank you everything works, and my rom is finally fast AND themed Oh, and for anyone reading this: because I have a 150MB system partition I had errors while first trying the cp lines, so I had to first remove the odex files (rm lines) and then use the cp ones to transfer the deodexed files

Can you reboot into recovery and run:
1) adb shell mount -o rw /system
1.5) if that fails run adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system
2) adb shell ls /system/app | grep HtcClockWidget.apk
Tell me the output of that last step.
Edit: or just tell me if HtcClockWidget.apk is in your /system/app directory from a file browser. That may be a bit easier, just maybe.
