extract swype from stock? - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i'm running cm7.2 ultimate and previously used swype beta. however, this has expired as of today.
i'm wondering if i can extract the built in swype from the stock rom file(s).
i have a multiple files stock rom which contains swype (with the correct language included).
in which file can i find the swype.apk?
and it i succeed in extracting swype from te stock rom, will i be able to use it in my cm7.2 rom?
i read about a check that swype performs with build.prop so how can i make swype actually work on my ace with cm7.2?
(what should i edit in build.prop to succeed in the check and does it corrupt my rom when i edit my build.prop file?)

Brother install stock rom first and then create backup of swype file using root uninstaller ( i use that) and install it with correcting permissions using root explorer
Try lucky patcher on your expired beta of swype it may work
Hit thanks cos you wont die

Next time use Q&A THREAD, keep general thread clear!

thanks all,
I must say my question was not clear enough. I had a stock rom available and from that rom I've extracted the Stock Swype. I tried to get it to work using the instruction from Marine for another Phone. But unfortunately, It didn't work.
I'm on the ultimatum rom and extracted the swype from a 2.3.6 stock rom.
place the apk and libswypecore.so in the right folder and fixed permissions. i synced the files and rebooted the Phone as instructed but after that, Swype is available but doesn't work.
Anyone know what else I can do to fix this? Should I edit my build.prop?

What do you mean with "is available but doesn't work"??
When you switch in swipe keyboard it crashes? It force closes?

no forced closes. I can swype, but it doesn't show the words I swype. My entry field stays empty.
I've checked the apk / swype files and all the dictionary files are in there.
I read another thread here at XDA which told something about swype checking the build.prop file. So i've checked my build.prop with the build.prop in the stock rom. There were some differences (cooper instead of GT-S5830). So i've editted my build.prop, saved it and rebooted. After that, my phone wouldn't boot anymore so now i'm busy downloading the latest version of The Ultimatum rom to get my ace working again..
so editting build.prop isn't really the best option to do (unless you really confident that you know what you're doing, which I'm not).

try better keyboards like swiftkey or x touchpal ( i recommend x touchpal as u can conver that app to system and working, will not take space in internal memory as our ace is low with internal). hope i helped u

I don't think so...
Both Swiftkey and Touchpal X take up a heck lot of space, unlike what you claimed.
For example
Touchpal X : ~15MB
Stock Swype : ~3MB
And the stock Swype is better, in my opinion.
