Just got my 7.7 and really happy so far. My device is from Egypt as far as I can tell. Thus the onboard Swype is loaded with Arabic language pack which is of no use for me, but I could use the German version of Swype that is supposed to come with the Austrian firmware. Anybody here that can provide that apk...don't want to root and change the firmware just for a keyboard app :)

Thanks! :D

Swype_CSC_ATO.rar you can download there FILES GT-6800

Just put it @root System/app and reboot.

Then its should be fine :)

thanks, but I was not able to successfully use the apk...got force closed error everytime I tried to launch Swype...

Rooted my tab anyways and now going to install the Austrian firmware...that's the ...AUT.exe right? At least AUT is the country code for Austria ;-)

hm are you 100% sure? "AUT" is the official ISO-3166 code for "Austria" (link to wikipedia.org)

...Switzerland should be "CHE" (according to ISO-3166-3), no clue what "ATO" is supposed to be ;-)

But German should be in the AUT firmware as well even if its Switzerland, right? Do you know if they just have plain German-Germany or really Austrian or Swiss German in Swype?

Thanks for hanging, great job with the firmware and comprehensive post for us 7.7 owner! ;-)

You need to delete or rename the app and a lib file (Swype.app & libcoreswype.so, I seem to remember) then join the beta program, download and run the installer. Instructions are on the Swype forums somewhere.
