Yeah, I had the same thing following the instructions with Swype. It worked great until I rebooted, and now it's cycling FC every 10 seconds or so.

Well, yes, for the short time I had it working...
You can hide the button bar and use an app like Button Savior to make them accessible on the main part of the screen. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...56&postcount=3

FCs after reboot solved!

---

After a bunch of playing around, I finally solved the problem with FCs after a reboot!

I think the problem is because the Swype installer automatically installed the Swype Beta APK before I copied it to root. The solution was to uninstall Swype Beta, which I did by using the AppMgr in ES File Explorer. Then I reinstalled it by going to /system/app/ and clicking on com.nuance.swype.beta-1.apk

What I figured out was that the lib files from the APK kept getting recopied to /data/data/com.nuance.swype.beta/lib/ and then those files would get used instead of the copies in /system/lib/. Once I uninstalled and reinstalled from /system/app, the lib files no longer wound up in /data/... so the Kindle always uses the versions in /system/lib/, preventing the FCs.

It's a much less capable version of Swype than the downloadable beta, lacking features such as syncing user dictionaries and voice recognition.

Ok like the the newer version thanks for the info. But to install it all I did was use the installer and went to my keyboard settings and under default choose Swype beta and finished all the registration stuff and now I'm using it. It does not need to be put in system apps folder. I did that at first and it force closed the app. You do however have to keep the kindle Swype version in place or you get force closes as well as the notification bar gets all screwy.

Edit. Ok the only thing I couldn't get to work right was landscape view

No idea how that worked for you. You're still on version 7.2.3 of the Kindle software, right? Maybe they changed something in version 8, which is probably what most people in this thread are running.

Sorry, my mistake. I'm running 8.1.4, and I didn't realize OS versions were inconsistent between the 7" and 8.9" versions.

Used another users earlier post to install Swype
Here are the steps I took

1 install titanium backup pro
2 install Swype beta installer
3 using titanium backup converted Swype installer to system app
4 installed nook color tools
5 installed Swype keyboard using installer
6 converted Swype installer back to a user app
7 using titanium backup convert Swype keyboard to system app
8 rebooted
9 opened nook color tools and choose Swype
10 rebooted

Note no idea if step 3 was needed, it probably wasn't

and also missing... the ability to use the smaller movable keyboard... WHICH ANY AND ALL TABLETS SHOULD HAVE. why does anyone think having the keyboard the full width of tablet is a GOOD idea??? On my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 I can get keyboard that is just shy of 1/2 the width of screen and can type or SWYPE without moving my hand.
LIKE ON A PHONE. jjjjjeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz
