I am a part of the Swype Beta program and I also have the updater installed on my phone. When I go to the installer it says that my screen size isn't supported for swype. I am a little curious how people already have Swype?
Search for the galaxy nexus swype apk

It's in the themes and apps section.
Swype will be releasing an official beta later this month.

I've tried the swype.apk from the post in Applications and themes (can't post links since they've got a C&D letter from swype). It works, but i couldnt manage to download additional languages. I checked the swype forums, and they say that download of language packs doesnt work for ICS yet.
There is a workaround where you use titanium backup to get the language files you want. You have to be rooted for this to work though.

i needed an apk file i m using LeeDroid rom...thx anyway
I had the same problem. Beta expired and no apk would work.
In my frustration, I stumbled across another alternative called Ultra Keyboard. Has the swype method of input, and so much more customization. The swype method isn't as accurate as Swype's own, but it just means you have too slow your thumb down a little bit. And it IS only a little bit.
You can skin it to customize it's look, and even the free skins on the market place for the "Better Keyboard" app work for it.
You can custom height of keys, and have different settings for portrait and landscape modes.
Check out the trial and see what you think. Take some time too explore all the settings too.

As Swype is not licensed for use on the Desire, any Swype APK's or links to them are not allowed.
Please do not ask for the apk, and do not post links.

Installed Viper Rom and so far so good. Can anyone tell me how to get swype back?
Thanks
Look in the files, he made a folder with the files he deleted. I reinstalled swype from that folder.
go to Astro sdcard> viper rom> removed apps.
it should be in there, you can also check out the thread for the apk.
Its in the folder if you want the old version, but it would be in your interest to delete all traces of Swype and get the beta from Swype.com. its a lot smoother and doesn't have some of the bugs that came with the stock Swype

You can also use the vc script. Search the ROM thread on how to use it
Loosing the built in Swype was a really good thing for me. I installed beta and I never realized how much better it would be than the built in app.

Yeah, I installed my Swype that came with my phone. Beta version is much better...I remember the beta that the e4gt Swype is built off of, so many bugs. The one that bugged me most was when you hit I and it doesn't space the next word.

I was wondering this too. I will install the swype beta and see how it goes. I actually tried to use the stock swype a few days ago and couldn't deal with that spacing issue. Maybe ill have a better experience.
I just bought 3 of these SGS 2's from T-Mobile the other day, and really like the Juggernaut ROM the best so far.
After installing it on my wifes phone she wants Swype back, but I cannot get it to work. I copied the apk from the backup, and installed it which worked fine, but it force closes anytime I try and use it.
Any help is appreciated.
Go to the Swype website and join the beta program. They will email you an installer app you use to install Swype and update it when a new beta version is released.
The beta sucks... Do you know how to get the original back?

Wait you serious?
The official sucks lol. The layout of the keyboard is horrible.
The beta is 100 times better
Original swype download links are posted here.
Good Luck..
I had the same question when I flashed Juggernaut V4.1 and this thread helped me.
I signed up for the swype beta on thier website and installed it very easily to my device. It works as good if not better than the one that orginally came on this device.
The only 2 differences that I even notice are the swype trace color ( anyone know how to change this color?) and the layout of the numbers when you cange the keyboard over to symbols ( which are more like a keyboard and less like a phone dialer).
Does anyone know how to change those two features?
The only way would be the beta. The new Dragon speech engine is great and really accurate.

+1 for the beta.
Does anyone have a copy of the previous version of Swype beta? This latest version does not seem to work as well. Auto corrects words incorrectly all the time and does not seem to let me add to my dictionary.

DJDarkKnight has a bunch of themed apks of the older version up on his site. Search Google for DA Swype Themes.

The only way to get Swype is to join the beta and get it directly from them or buy a device that ships with it.

Since the upgrade to 4.2 I am having problems using Swype. It gets blocked when I switch it from default keyboard to swype one. I want to use it because swype support the languages that i need.
Has anyone the same problems and it's there a fix?
Thanks

I had to restore from a nandroid backup using Titanium backup. Every time I unlock the device I get a force close message or 2, but Swype functions normally thereafter. Tried to install using the install app provided for the beta program and nothing was available to install. I don't think they have caught up to 4.2 quite yet.

I wish i could port swype dictionary to the default 4.2 android keyboard....
When i try to reinstall it, the app installer doesn't let me choose a version also.
I believe that's a known issue. Hopefully Swype releases a fix for it soon.

I've been going back and forth between 4.2 keyboard and Swype.
I'm using an old themed version (no longer available) from djdarkknight.
you can try this version if you want.

Swype kept freezing my jelly bean rom so i switched to SwiftKey Flow beta and i'd argue that it's better than swype, stock was an absolute nightmare.. Just not as much detail put into it as swype and SwiftKey.

I just recently went from stock android 4.1 on my Galaxy Nexus to CyanogenMod 10 with android 4.2.1. I was using Swiftkey Flow before and now and the only difference I had was the color that shows up when you swype letters, it barely shows up on screen now.
Swype bumped the beta to 1.4 and seems to work quite well with 4.2.1. Adding to the custom dictionary is now functional too.

Between the pain-in-the-arse multistep install process and the glitches in the Swype beta, I've switched over to the stock 4.2 keyboard. I also tried Swiftkey 3. Uninstalled Swype a couple of months back and never regretted it. It's just too hard to setup and it refuses to work without a lot of tweaking.

Swype had a lot of problems with 4.2.1 roms, but they have already released new version 3 days ago and it works fine for me now.just check their web.
