Anyone here like swype? and if so have you updated it like I have. I am using the newest one and its pretty sweet. I can post instructions on how to do it if anyone needs. Basically you gotta just uninstall the stock one, delete is lib file and dal cache file then use the beta.
 
I'm using it on my Optimus M. Since I'm using a CM7, Swype didn't come with it so I installed the beta and love it.
 
To properly uninstall it you will need root explorer and/or titanium backup.


1. uninstall swype using titanium backup
2. delete libSwypeCore.so from /system/lib using rootexplorer mounted as r/w
3. reboot and clear cache.
4. download swype installer and follow directions.

dont see the huge difference between this and the stock swype app..besides 9 unmovable mb's ..weak. this "update" isnt supported for our phones either btw.
