Default Beta swype

I had beta swype on my old hero phone and since switching to mesmerize I do not need it because is pre installed, but new beta version just came out so which would be better and how would I remove the original on mesmerize if I were to switch? Thank you

You'd have to be rooted and completely remove stock swype from your phone before trying to install beta. It seemed like more work than it was worth to me.

I had it installed earlier on my mez. You have to delete the swype.apk file from /system/app folder using root explorer or another file manager. next delete the file lib.SwypeCore.so from /system/lib folder. I could only get it to work when using the pick-n-pack rom too. you need to delete these files before you try to install the beta swype. I had some issues with it tho so I didn't reinstall it. My biggest issue was that when I would go to type a message it would always be in all caps mode. Hope that helps.
