I've searched all over the i777 threads to find the answer but didn't, so here goes my question.
A couple of days ago I rooted my i777 and installed UnNamed 2.2.1. Love the ROM! This morning, I got a pop up about Swype, it wouldn't work anymore and to go to beta.swype.com for more information.
Of course I couldn't uninstall Swype and couldn't install the new beta, so I'm stuck without Swype, and that sucks!
How do I get Swype back?
uninstall swype with some sort of file explorer or ti backup. redownload swype beta installer apk, follow instructions....
TA DA you have swype beta again, at least thats how it always worked for me
I'm a bit of a noob so have no idea how to go about uninstalling Swype using a method other than normal...
I had the same issue. Thanks for posting the question and answer!

we all start somewhere, TiBu is useful, comes as a free version to test it out, i believe it lets you uninstall system files in the free version. otherwise some are known to use (file explorer es)??? i think thats it. any program that lets you get to the system files.
system->apps->scroll around till you find the swype file and delete

Google for a guide to update preinstalled Swype to new beta version.

Thanks, I found instructions here in the forum under another device...guess I should have expanded my search. Here is the thread for anyone else that needs it...

This worked for me:
1) googled swype apk and downloaded (version 3.26)
2) uninstalled swype via TiBu
3) Reboot into download mode (CWM)
4) wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot
5) install downloaded Swype APK
Thanks...I used the instructions referenced in the link I posted but Swype would FC at launch after I installed. Went back and uninstalled everything again, then wiped the cache and dalvik cache which I didn't do before, then re-installed, and everything works great now. Thanks!!

This worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much! Life is much better now that Swype is back.
I'm having the same problem, however, when I try and register on the swype site using dolphin and web the checkbox for terms and agreements isn't showing up so I can't get the email to download the installer. Are there any workarounds or alternate means of getting the installer?
*edit* I was able to get the swype installer, but I still can't register with the site to login and run their program.
*update* I'm not sure what I did wrong the first time, but I tried the other method in the post and it worked; after I flashed to an older rom and back. For whatever reason out kept force closing on me the first time.

Thanks! This worked for me too. I actually used the Swype beta installer since I had previously signed up anyway.
Just curious: Anyone know why this happened now? And whether this only happened to the UnNamed ROM or others?
I believe it happened to all roms with Swype pre installed on them. Since unnamed is based off of a stock model, that's why it was affected.

I installed eminence last night, and everything was working fine. The market wasn't updating to the latest version, so I manually installed the latest version from the backup I had done before I installed eminence.
The latest market was then working fine, until I tried to install X10iUser's black market, which then completely removed the market, so I re-installed the market and now it keeps forcing close.
Is there an easy fix, or do I have to re-install eminence and start again from scratch?
Thanks in advance

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.

so you tired the new updated fixed version? What rom are you using? Couldn't you put swype in that build and then flash it? Just trying to think outside the box is all.
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
http://db.tt/2GoUggF
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?

---------- 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.

How to Install Swype Beta on the Droid X2
Guess I spoke too soon. I just installed the beta a couple days ago. Must not have rebooted since then because I rebooted tonight and was welcomed with constant force closes. I did manage to get it working though.
Uninstall Swype again. Then reboot into CW recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot and install it again. No guarantees but it worked for me.

Well, guess I don't know what to tell you then. Mine is still working fine after several reboots now. The only other thing I can think of is if you are converting it to a system app after it's installed. I tried that and it worked fine until I rebooted. Had nothing but force closes after that. Converting it back to a user app didn't fix the problem. Had to uninstall and reinstall it again to get it working again. I tried it several times and each time I installed it, it worked fine through reboots but as soon as I'd convert it to a system app, it was nothing but trouble. I finally just gave up on it and just left it a user app. So, if by any chance you are coverting it to a system app after installing it, try leaving it a user app and see if that works for you. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to tell you.
How do I leave it as a user app?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Look in your /data/app folder. If you see com.swype.android.inputmethod in there, then it is already installed as a user app. If it's not there, look in your /system/app folder for it. If it's there, it's installed as a system app. Either way I don't really know what to tell you. The first time I installed it, for some reason or another, it got installed as a system app. I knew right away because I was prompted with a message asking if I wanted to replace the swype that was there already. Not sure why that happened because there was no swype apk in the /system/app folder at the time. I had uninstalled it and checked and there was nothing there related to swype. Anyway, I let it install and it worked fine until I rebooted. So, after rebooting and all the trouble, I uninstalled it using TB and reinstalled it a second time. The second time I installed it, it installed as a user app (go figure) and worked fine until I used TB to convert it to a system app. Only difference for me before the first time installing it and the second was, before installing it the second time, I booted to recovery and wiped cache and Dalvik cache.
Are you sure the swype.apk is gone from your /system/app folder before you install the beta? All I can say is uninstall it, then look in either location for the file to make sure it's gone, then reinstall it. Sorry I can't be of much more help but I really don't know what to say.
I've never had a single problem with Swype beta and this is how I did it.
Use titanium backup to uninstall the pre installed stock Swype.
Reboot
Install Swype beta installer, run it and setup Swype beta.
Enjoy the best keyboard out there.
