Default [Q] Help with Swype

I wanted to try out the newly released version of swype. So I deleted the preloaded swype and installed the new version. Everything worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Swype kept fc. I did have a back up of the old one. So I deleted the newer swype, and tried to restore the preloaded swype with Titanium Backup. TB said back up finished, but I couldn't find swype in the language section in the settings.
What can I do to have the preloaded swype again?

Default Has anybody successfully replaced pre-installed Swype with latest beta?

I thought I would try and install the latest version of Swype beta to replace the pre-installed version. I rooted, and followed the instructions at http://forum.swype.com/showthread.ph...ype-on-Droid-X

However, like the op, Swype kept force closing on me even as I was trying to install it.

Has anybody been successful in updating Swype?

Cheers,

Steve.

Does that mean you managed to get the other version to install?

Can you remember what steps you took to disable the pre-installed version and install the beta? Rooting, and renaming the 3 files listed didn't seem to work properly for me.
