The newest swype beta came out a few weeks ago and I simply don't use it becaues it's so damn ugly, hah. Has anyone themed it yet? I find that the swype beta works WAY better for me for some reason, so I don't want to push the official to my phone. I've tried moving the app to the proper locations for the existing Metamorph themes to act on it, but it always ends up breaking swype (it didn't used to). AFAIK, the current themes at the moment only work on the old betas and the "official" for sense roms. Anyone know of themes for the latest beta?
For the record I'm on CM7 RC3.
Well... still no luck in my own search, but this thread was updated by the OP today:

So hopefully we'll have something soon. Surprised so many people are just dealing with how ****ty the swype beta looks

can be loaded onto any rom.
Be careful. If I'm not mistaken xda treats posting swype as warez since it is licensed software. Not sure how this works since the G2 is licensed to have swype. I would like to have swype on the sense Rom as well...
I want swype on betterkeyboard. Give me the best of both worlds.
Believe it or not, that's one of the main reasons I don't want to fully switch to Sense. I'm absolutely loving Swype.

I've been on sense since evil dropped his flashable .zip. so far its amazing, but losing swype and battery drains are bothering me. Can't wait till 6.1!! Hopefully rc1 comes out this week.
Is Sense incompatible with Swype? If I loaded the Sense ROM, can I drop the Swype apk that came with the G2 originally back on top of it? It was one of the first things I dumped when perm root was released, knowing I'd want it on other ROMs.

I have been trying to get it to work, but it just force closes. The g2 is licensed to have swype, but apparently the DZ is not. I was able to load a working version found online, but once opened it says trial has ended please upgrade...

I actually have a working version of swype that will work on Sense. Well it worked on my Nexus Ones Sense.
I know the rules are pretty strict here regarding giving out the APK but come on people our devices are licensed with it so we already basically bought a copy of the software when we bought the phone >.>
Swype is not allowed to be posted onto XDA.....if you need to re-install it sign up on their site for the installer.
I'm running Miui and i dont like the keyboard it comes with. What is the best alternative, besides the ones in the market?
I havent found one yet that wont over ride some other mod/theme you have on there already. Unless you know how to make flash able zips yourself. You can install the Swype beta and skin it though i think? Here are the skins.......

Is there a better swype keyboard that we can install?? for example remove the one that came with the 3.70 software and install a better looking version or the white version i see on moto devices??
what happens if i delete sprint_swype and get the one off the swype site like i did with my hero?
thank you!!

You can use the Swype installed on your device or the beta version, they should both work fine. You would probably want to remove the Sprint Swype first before installing the beta. I went back to the beta initially as it wasn't included in my ROM choice, but ended up figuring out how to use the Sprint Swype and jumped back to that. I believe they both work about the same in my experience. If its just theming you are after, I recommend checking here. It themes the keyboard picture and the trace line, and in my opinion looks a lot sharper than the Sprint or Beta Swype. You have to be comfortable with root and metamorph however.

thanks... .
Never mind. Lazy search skills at work. Coffee made me search properly.
I had the same issue. I removed the Swype that came with the rom and then installed Swype Beta.
Yeah, I took care of it that way. Took me a minute to search for it. Hooray for coffee making me remember things.
I've just got the regular Swype. I guess it's time to search for Beta. I remember a thread with it floating around somewhere.
I'm having a problem with swype too. How do you remove the swype that came with the rom? I can't seem to figure that out.
To remove/install beta, you need to be rooted (not an issue here). you must also have another keyboard (Samsung keyboard is usually there) I use titanium backup to uninstall it, but I've heard other apps can handle it.
As for installing beta. You go to their website and register for the beta, and they give you instructions on how to install it. Qbking77 has a video on the process somewhere. I'd link, but i'm mobile. Hope this helps

yeah i was reading his new blazer rom update and it says swype is fixed but i jusr flashed last night and it still doesnt work i too had to instal beta
Is anyone using FlexT9 on the Nexus? I was having problems with Swype being too buggy so I figured I'd give FlexT9 a shot. It seems to work really well but it's horrifically ugly. Is there an ICS theme anywhere?
Mods, this isn't really a Nexus specific question, maybe it's in the wrong forum? Feel free to move it somewhere as long as it's in a place where people will see it
Try deleting any current version of Swype beta (and the installer), then go back to Swype's beta page and download the new installer - this will in turn pull down the new Swype beta. Nice improvement - new features, smoother and so far I've run into no bugs...

Just tried that. Seems a lot more fluid and I'm not having issues when I move the cursor around in the text boxes. Thanks!
Is this swype beta version expire like it constantly did with my Incredible?
Yes...this will expire, don't remember how long. As well as being smoother, the other features are cool too, definitely worth reading the release info and trying all the features out.
Back to being my favorite keyboard. Current wish list:
- Fix spacing after period
- Allow use of native ICS voice input that types as you speak instead of Dragon
- Skins!
- Add a ".com" key

This is so freaking annoying. Why can't they release the app just like normal? What's with this beta method that requires users to jump through hoops? Remember back when we had to actually request an invite to get a login?!

I like FlexT9 a lot more than Swype.
But yeah, I'd like to see this, too.
