Root [AT&T] Samsung Galaxy S3 Root Problem

Help, I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3, and some of my apps aren't working right.
I have Swype for my keyboard, but every time I have to type something it goes back to the Samsung Keyboard.
Also, I have Du Battery Saver Pro and there was a section on my notifications for it, now it's gone.

Help!
:(
 
From what I can remember, Swype not staying default over a reboot has to do with how it's installed. I've heard a couple of solutions that may work, both using Titanium Backup.

The first, which I believe was the more stable fix, is to freeze Google Keyboard. Freezing an application mimics an uninstall, but the application is still on your phone, i.e. the app is removed from use, but unfreezing puts it right back with any associated data. To do so, go to the "Backup/Restore" tab, find the Google Keyboard, tap it, and tap the middle button that says "Freeze !"

The second option, which I don't know of the success rate, is to make Swype a system application. This may not work, plus this may restrict updates from the Play Store.
