was able to install on another Froyo rom, no I don't remember which. How much room does SWYPE need?

editing this in (from post below) to get it read by more eyes:

I did uninstall a bunch of fluff I was thinking of getting rid of anyway. Using 3 different methods of checking, here are results:

os monitor 231 used 48 free, not sure why this is being reported so low, but could be a clue
in misc section of os monitor:

\system
total: 143
used:117
avail: 26
\data
total: 265
used:123
avail:145

memory widget
120 out of 261 used settings

sd/phone internal phone storage internal space
142 (which matches mem widget)
 
Check the free space in your internal memory. Settings -> SD card & phone storage -> Internal phone storage

Try using root explorer to delete every incidence of swype on your system (need to set system to read/write r/w and do a search for "swype"). There might me remnants of swype left on your phone. Then do a reinstall. I had the same problem with other large apps when trying to do a Titanium restore and couldn't even do a market install. After a search and delete I was able to install them again. You can also check out this link (I used root explorer instaead on Android Mate):

search found nothing...
I have flashed chevyno1 simplystunning and now OS monitor shows 99% used
but Root explorer says 260 free
 
this may or may not be relevant to this no room issue, but every time I boot (in last 2 or 3 roms) I get a notification of 416 unread messages, even thought I keep telling handcent to mark all read.
 
you should move your apps to the memory card. on bb you go into the bb tools then script helper then apps2sd
