Ok I installed CM7 WhiteRabbit (the 2.3.6 version) and think its great but I missed SWYPE!!
I got the beta version (used it in CM9 ICS no problems) but on this one when installing and went to enable it kept disabling it straight away. I done a reboot and it said it was enabled then but when I went to select swype it would go back to the install page and say select. When selecting it in the SMS part or in the settings part it would not select ether.
Now I got this from a site for the KINDLE but it works if your having the same trouble.
1) Download the installer from your beta email or transfer it from one of your other devices (If you get an error saying "Sorry! This is not an Android Phone..." make sure your browser is set to mobile view and not desktop.)
2) Log in
3) Select your Beta version
4) Install the Swype keyboard
5) Use Root Explorer and navigate to /data/apps and find the Swype apk
6) Move the Swype apk (not the installer) to /system/apps
7) Make sure permissions are rw- r-- r--
8) Reboot your device
9) Long press on a text field, select input method, then Swype
10)When you use Swype it will constantly Force Close
11)Go back into system/app and press install on the swype apk file that you placed there
12)Then delete the same apk from system/app and reboot.
Worked perfect for me I rebooted and into SMS enable SWYPE and all the how to use and settings pages show up and now its going great guns. Cheers to the author of the kindle thread. Sorry to take your lime light but its great to know it works for Defy +
