Have been unable to get the calibration tool to work with this.
Currently, I am using a theme generated version which works great, but I need to calibrate it to better for how I type.
Using Calibrate FC on me.
I attempted to update the clicker.apk but it won't load.
Anyone run into this, have a fix.

If your rooted and nand unlock, use rootexplorer to move the clicker_hi.apk to /system/app/ make sure you set permissions and reboot your phone, the calibration tool should work.
Did something similar to that... I moved the clicker*.apk (there were two of them) files to and oldapp directory and then I was able to install the new one. No reboot was needed.
Now the keyboard is calibrated to my typing reach and is back to what it was like before the 2.2 update.

Sitting here for hours trying to figure out how to regain my old DINC 2.1 HTC_IME keyboard, without any success. Rooted, w/S-OFF, Froyo (2.2) under Virtuous 2.6. Edit_01: Then, not sure what I did that was different, but I was able to update my HTC_IME keyboard with a "new" version that I created at the gimpsta.com site. So, my DINC (Rooted, w/S-OFF, Froyo (2.2) under Virtuous 2.6) is working without issue.
Before I was successful in loading a new keyboard, and during my research using Root Explorer (RE), I saw that there were a couple of HTC_IME files in the system and cache directories, but RE said they were read only and would not allow me to move or delete them. Krelvinaz, what was your secret? I saw a clicker.apk and HTC_IME.apk files under the phone data and system folders, even though the apps had been uninstalled in Astro Manager and no longer show(ed) in the Language and Keyboard or in the Applications/Manage Applications settings section. There was only one program called HME IME Test listed in Manage Apps during my troubleshooting searches.
At one time, I did try to load a current version of the clicker.apk, but I got an error message. Is there a clicker calibration utility, for the keyboard and how do I load it.

While I did stumble into a successful keyboard installation, I have spent yet more time to figure out how to change permissions in Root Explorer(RE). Not wanting to complicate a working HTC_IME, I tested my RE ability and changed the startup boot mp3 sound in the system directory. So far, so good. However, I am reluctant to delete the clicker.apk, at this time, hoping I might get some knowledgeable feedback about my question on whether there is a calibration utility, for this keyboard. I cannot remember if I actually ran the clicker.apk, way back when I got the phone. I was unable to install it today, because it already exists in the system, and I would need to remove it first. Still hopeful someone might expand on the keyboard and the clicker.apk.
I just rooted and flashed CM6.1.2 last night. Before I flashed it, I made a backup of Swype (that came pre-loaded on the phone) with Titanium Backup.
After flashing CM6, I noticed in Titanium Backup that Swype was listed at the bottom in gray, crossed out. I'm not able to restore it.
I signed up for the beta on Swype's site, got the installer, installed Swype, and it's back again... but I'm sure this isn't the same deal because it's a "beta" and I don't want it to expire. I have no desire to go back to factory image because of the Sprint and HTC bloatware.
tl;dr: how can I get my actual copy of Swype (that was pre-installed) back?
Well, there's two options:
1) Stick with the beta (recommended) because even if it "expires", just fire up the installer and get the new version. It will always have a newer, better, faster version than Sense.
2) If for some reason you're hell-bent on keeping the older version of Swype from Sense, rip the Swype.apk from /system/app/ and libswype.so from /system/lib/ from a Sense ROM, then copy them to the respective places once you've loaded CM again via Nandroid backup+restore.
Seriously though, stick with the beta. It's already ahead of the Sense version, and is getting updated within the next few weeks, plus you don't have to re-install it every time you flash an update to your ROM (whereas with the Sense one, you'd have to re-copy the files, each, and, every, time, you, flash, an, update).
So I just flashed CM 6.12 last night and now I'm trying to get Swype back (not that the CM keyboard isn't great, because it is, I just love Swype is all).
I just signed up for the beta again, got the installer, installed it, then when I try to type, I get this:
"The Swype package you installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality. Please contact Swype about this issue."

change your input method to another keyboard, reboot, change back to swype, should work

Strange... just tried this, was able to type "hello" but at the same time the same message came up; now it's not swyping any more words.
rerun the beta installer, dont rush it, after enabling swype, then selecting it in the input method choice box that prompts during the installer, wait for it to license, most people rush to use it at that point but it can take a few seconds to license
I have read over some of the other threads asking similar questions, but my situation is a little different.
I have been running MIUI for a while, but now it says that my Swype beta has run out of time. I like the version of Swype that has the talk-to-text button. I have read that Myn's ROM doesn't actually have Swype, it just themes it. The only issue I have with this is that it no longer works on any ROM I try, except for Myn's.
Can I get Myn's version off of his ROM, I like it more, or is there some way I can get the old one to start working again? I have also read about removing some Swype files, can't find them where it tells me to look, and I have removed it using Titanium backup.

update your swype. that's it.
beta.swype.com/android/get
You should be able to go on the swype website and install the beta, it has the speech to text button.
I did the beta, but it still won't swype. I can type, but I can't swype.

Are you sure you tried the latest Beta? I had this problem yesterday with an older version of Swype that was themed. I uninstalled Swype, Installed the Swype installer app and let it update. Then I downloaded and installed Swype using the Swype Installer app. It works no problems. I lost the theme for it, but it works nonetheless. I am sure there's a way to pull the Swype from Myn's Rom and put it in yours, but it is not as simple and pulling the .apk and installing it on MIUI. You have to pull other things in System files and push them via ADB. I am sure you could find your answer on how to do this here because I know you are not the first person I have seen ask this question and I know that you question has been answered.

I got a themed Swype from the Elite rom (black) which also has the mic. Here's what I did.
Download Sense rom to your computer.
Unzip the rom
Copy from the rom /system/ app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so onto your computer.
Using ADB, push the apk to /system/app on your phone
Push libSwypeCore.so to /system/lib on your phone.
If you really don't like ADB, I guess you can root explorer but I don't have that app. I find it easier and faster to use adb.
Evo HW 003
MIUI 1.3.5 with stock kernel
Honeycomb theme
I am trying to install the newest update to Swype on my Defy, but I cannot get past the part on the installer that says
"Swype is not properly licened. To Fix - Press "Disable Swype" and 1) uncheck the box next to Swype then, 2) hit BACK button to return and generate license"
I cannot uncheck the box next to Swype, as there is no check box, just settings.
Any idea of how to bypass this so I can update?
Reinstall it again. Instructions should have been emailed to you. Did you uninstall your old swype first. ?
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Or better still just from swype, select default key input instead of swype. Then only install the new beta swype. It can not install since you're currently using it as your default key input.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I don't think I can uninstall it first. It was installed stock on my Defy. Not sure how to remove.
Also, I did set my default input back to multi-touch keyboard. That was step 1 the installer, the next step was to uncheck the box to disable it, but there is no box.
Instructions are not via e-mail, but they are clearly written on the applications installer upon trying to install. Just the instruction does not make sense in a case where you cannot check/uncheck to disable.
Just tried as well and can't get it to install BETA Swype and can't uninstall old pre-installed swype. Looks like you need to root the phone and remove the original apk's
Yeah, I also had this issue. You do need a rooted phone (edit: I used SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse to root my phone) to be able to uninstall stock swype - i used titanium backup root.
Then install worked fine.
Now I sometimes get this issue:
'Load of EnglishUK failed' - Probably means it couldn't load my library, but not certain. Upon relaunching the app (messages in this case) it didn't show anymore.
That's why i guess it's beta. It's still better than the version that came on the stock rom.
i just went back to swype 2.51 its much better
but not for chinese
i just want to a swype which can use for chinese,but i can't find one. the swype of chinese cannot even beat QQ input at all,but i perfer Baidu input.they r for chinese.
Thanks tecjam. Yeah, I used Titanium to back up and uninstall the stock Swype incase I don't like this beta. So far so good though.
Thanks everybody for replying.
I have rebooted twice now and each time, I've had to go into Languages/input to select swiftkey as my default keyboard.
Anyone else having similar issue?

OMG how ironic, I was just about to make a thread for that same thing.
I'm pretty sure it's a bug with Swiftkey and JB.
I've run the Sprint JB build on my AT&T GS3, as well as some custom ROMs, and they all do the same. The OS reverts back to the Samsung keyboard upon reboot and you have to reselect Swiftkey.
The only way I was able to fix it, is when I was debloating a ROM for flashing. I deleted the Samsung Keyboard and put in a stock AOSP keyboard. After that I never had the problem again.
Unfortunately I don't know what files to delete for the Samsung Keyboard once the ROM is flashed. It's easy when you have the CWM flashable ROM to manipulate it before you flash.
I am not sure if it is a Swiftkey bug or a bug in the Samsung Keyboard cause without the Samsung keyboard even installed, it doesn't have that bug.
I've had no beef with SwiftKey.

Turn your phone off and back on and see if it defaults back to the Samsung Keyboard.
I've seen in some threads people with other keyboards than Swiftkey are also having this issue.
It only happens when you reboot the phone.

Same here. No problems whatsoever with SwiftKey after reboots.
I have too.
Rooted, disabled Samsung keyboard and Swype with TiBu.
No more problems.
No issues with Swiftkey staying as my default keyboard after rebooting. Stock, unrooted Bell 4.1.1 update.
My swype default remained as it is after reboot.

Ok being as I don't have a CWM firmware flash to mess with, I guess I'm going to have to do some things manually.
So for me to disable the Samsung Keyboard, do I just need to go into the system/app folder and either delete or rename the SamsungIME.apk and SamsungIME.odex?
I don't use Titanium, so I don't have a resource to freeze an app. Plus I prefer to actually delete it if I am not using it anyway.
Also, I have the stock AOSP 4.1 JB Keyboard I had installed with my Custom Sprint build I was using, but I just injected that into the firmware before flashing. To install the APK fo that, I just basically need to put it on the internal or external SD card and in file explorer just install it that way?
Thanks.
