I see that on December 21st Swype released a new Beta version with Dragon but it tells me that since I already have Swype preinstalled on my Epic 4g that I can update it even thought I am rooted and running ACS ICS 5.5.... Is there any way that I can upgrade to the newest beta?
you have to uninstall swype and then go to the website and sign up and install. There's a swype uninstaller floating aroun here somewhere as well as a instructional video I believe as well
Please post the Swype Beta APK
can someone please post the latest swype beta APK?

All you have to do is uninstall Swype, sign up for the beta on their site, and download the installer. Swype has asked repeatedly that people stop publicly sharing their products, especially the betas.

I'm debating upgrading to the newest nightly of cyanogenmod however I really do not want to let go of my stock swype. I'm not interested in using an alternate app like shapewriter either....
Has anyone successfully loaded the stock apk onto their CM build for this phone? If so, please explain how!
Thanks!

Well, if you need a froyo rom with Swype you should download Eugene's Froyo (newbuild.zip) and flash it via ROM Manager. Otherwise, no, there's no way to salvage it.
thanks for the quick reply, i'm going to look into it.
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749273 . Some of the people here don't like Swype and are totally against installing it on other ROMs but it is doable.

Thanks for the link, i'm in the process of going through it.
I don't see why anyone would not want swype at least as an option on a custom rom, especially since the stock version runs beautifully. Swype is really smooth and accurate, so much so that I wouldn't mind not having a hardware keyboard!
swype is an acquired taste lol some like it some dont but once you use it and get used to it its the best at what it does! sign up for the beta and they should send you a swype installer pretty quickly only real problem is that it isnt themed like the one that comes with the slide
go to 4shared and search for swype there should be a themed version that doesnt get old
and on another note if you sign up and register on swype then search for a swype installer and use that you should be able to use swype that way since it will see you are registered to use it and what not!

Check out the new Froyo builds with Swype.
Hi all. I have Koni Elite and want Swype. I had originally registered for Swype beta but when I load it if crashes. Anyone know how to get swype on this rom??? Thanks!!
Like you get it on any other rom...
let me know if I screwed this up, had to work it out of my Elite.
Mod Edit: Do not post swype installers, as they are considered warez on xda
oh now i get what you are saying. to install the swype beta on a rom that already has swype installed first use root explorer (or adb) to delete swype.apk in /system/app/. then delete swypelibcore.so from /system/lib/. reboot and install the beta from the installer. hope this helps.
Thank you alaman, that worked for me. I have been a long time lurker in this forum and have appreicated all the help everyone has given.
Thanks! I used Super Manager. I had the lib file even though I didn't have the apk. Now beta downloaded and works.
dupe post. sorry.

Anyone knows how to add Brazilian Portuguese Swype to Barebones 1.3? I Have tried a zip from my original stock rom and one from adlxmod thread (JORLA something)... at the moment i'm using switfkey, but i like swype!
Uninstall all aplications of swype (swype and swype installer) and install the beta full.
Works for me. (Only PT-PT)

I'm using swiftkey right now, not so fast, but it's a very good alternative. Or you can try Swype Beta (pt-PT), juste use the remove-swype*.zip from the link on my last post (on recovery), then download the beta.
I got a working pt-br swype from a brazilian defy branded by Claro.
If you still need it, I can make an update.zip and upload it to my server.
Check a small video of my Defy running JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR with PT-BR Swype.

First, you need to remove your current swype beta and swype installer.
Then go into custom recovery and install using "Install zip from sdcard" option.
God Bless =)
Finally it works ^^

anyone tried updating dere swype keyboard???
I've recently update to the newest version of the Swype Beta, it's pretty straight forward.
Just delete the one you have now, and follow the installation instructions on their website and you'll have no problems.

I've done that and I get FC every time..
Maybe copying libSwypecore.so to /system/libs would help ! ?

Ok, after reinstalling 3,4 times it finally started to work..
thax guys i just updated my swype keyobard to the latest beta
just 1 more stupid question can i uninstall swype installer icon from menu or will it delete the latest beta to ???
EDIT- i cheked the version it isnt 3 beta :O ?????
Hey guys, I just found out that Swype for Note works like a charm on GS III and supports multiple languages (unlike the BETA).
//edit link editted NEW BETA has language support now: https://beta.swype.com/android/get/
Just install it and in swype options download your prefered language.
DO NOT update Swype (also available in that menu).
I think it updates to the BETA and youll lose the support for other languages!
Have fun!
//edit:
Lol, indeed guys.
Ive been searching for a Swype that would work on the GS3 and figured out that the GNote one worked.
And today Swype releases a new Beta that also includes languages and no more error on installing... lol...
Editted the OP.
download from swype from https://beta.swype.com/android/get/
Is this the latest Swype beta?

Those with problems opening Swype once installed. Unpack the Swype.apk goto /lib and copy the lib file to /system/lib to overwrite the old lib file...

Sorry man, but afaik it is not allowed to post links to swype-installer on XDA..
For those who want the real swype on the s3, go to
http://beta.swype.com/android/
and follow steps there.. the actual swype beta works perfect and languages can be loaded from the options menu!
Confirmed, just downloaded the new version including dutch language... works like a charm!
Awesome post!Thanks for sharing.
