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.

Could it have been a bad download? Have you gone to their web site for the beta? I think they have openings

thanks for the tip, but its not working for the english/spanish one either.
and i just found out that the FULL version meant like.. all languages lol.
I thought full was like... the whole swype system, while beta was parts of it.
i'm so dumb
Anyways, are you saying that they tweeted neither of the swype *full AND english/spanish* don't work?

I don't think so.
I have the right swype installer from
www.beta.swype.com
i have a valid account.
as s15 said, its probably the error they tweeted
Gotta wait >.<

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.

I'm sorry... I really can't see why your confused.. you mean I should delete the swype file on my SD card too?
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.
Just downloaded the swype 3.0 beta which has just dropped from XOOM. i am not able to load it on my SGS2 [rooted Litening ROM] inspite of deleting the swype from /system/app folder. it asks me to replace the previous version and then its fails to download. please suggest some soluton.
thanks.
you need to delete "libSwypeCore.so" in /system/lib
No go. still the same error. swype application not installed. should i reboot after deleting...

I did exactly your way and after delete I rebooted. While installing it still asked me to overwrite swype I said ok and overwrite and installed confirmation dialog was ok. I rebooted after installation choose swype in settings. Open email/text message I got the tutorial box and then the worst happens swype is dead and it doesn't comes on any field- word, browser, text, emails anything it doesn't shows up at all. Its very frustrating. Someone please help.
And the attached pics also yells my swype version and the top preference options are greyed and can't be changed. Looks to me that this beta is buggy and I'm surprised how others are able to use it.

removed, installed, no succes
I've done the following steps without success...
Info:
Phone has root (via CF-root)
Swype removal:
logged in via adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm ./system/app/Swype.apk
rm ./system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
reboot
Swype install
downloaded the file
installed
when generating the license it crashes.
Reason: Unknown.
anyone an idea?
Try update your firmware to 2.3.4 (KG1 or KG2) that include swype v.3
I just tried it on my phone and it works perfectly. After deleting the 2 swype files with root explorer, reboot, then install swype beta via the apk, NOT via the official beta installer.
I'm running Project V(6-11-11) w/ Bali 1.6.5uv. I just got an email to update my swype. So I download swype installer, delete my version of swype using titanium backup, download new version, go to install and everthing is going great. Then it says "application not installed".
I've tried a couple of times always with the same results.
Anybody else having this problem or know what I'm doing wrong?.....thanks
Use root explorer to search for all swype related files, delete them. Then run new updater
Beware of angry gingerbread man
Do you know where the files that i should delete are located?

You should only have to delete Swype.apk in /system/app and libSwypeCore.so in /system/lib. Reboot and it should install then.
That worked jneal9, thanks. It was the libSwypeCore that was holding it up. TB deleted the apk.
Good job, as always for updates, make sure you go to the Root, as this has happened before, swype is better if not Awesome. Good new update.
I need help installing the Swype beta. I installed it the first time and it worked. I rebooted my phone and now it keeps force closing. Please help.

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.
Cheers

i have done it at least 3 times and everytime i back up swype with titanium uninstall it, boot into recovery wipe dalvik then boot back up and reinstall it, works fine.
Ok so i just installed cm 7.2, love it by the way adw launcher lagged when scrolling and animations so i deleted and installed adw launcher ex, silky smooth). Anyway to my point, on my old rom and stock rom (gingerreal 2.0 and android 2.3.6) i had swype which is the best android keyboard in my opinion. But on cm7.2 theres no sywpe so i installed it but every time i installed force closed (i installed them manually by putting them in system - apps and changing permissions and rebooting). The beta worked fine but i didnt like the look of it. Is there a version of swype that doesnt FC or do i have to live with the beta version
Download this - http://db.tt/EXqZjyCe
Copy to system/lib folder using root explorer and set permissions to rw-r--r--
Copy swype's apk to system/app folder and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot
Not really sure if this will help.

Didn't work still displays fc window I've attatched the permissions I set
Are they right?
Why not just stick with Swype beta? Just install and use, no need to copy libs and set permission and whatsoever, furthermore its so much better than the old Swype.
And if u dont like the original looks, theres plenty of homemade repack out there with lovely skins. Currently i use a flat black skin.
oh no even the beta wont install now

Ive aldready done that it says the application was not installed
Good news and bad news. Well I managed to get the swype beta installed, all I had to do was get the installer, boot in recovery mode, clear cache and dalvik cache and reboot, the bad news is it keeps force closing

It isn't the right permissions. tj_droid wrote: rw-r--r--
I tried his method and it worked for me, not on CM, on StockLite, but I think it'll work for you too.
Btw: I understand you, the beta is very annoying for me too. Once you try to put back the stock swype, you will not able to use beta.
So copy that lib file and swype.apk, set the right permission , it must work. I attached you a picture, it'll may help.
