Yeah~ shame about the lack of Swype with this so far. But then again, we're D2 users~ we got a keyboard. LoL

I still miss it for quick texts and the like with one hand.

The one issue that i am having with gingerbread is that fact that my data looks to constantly be syncing. There is no way for me to get the icon removed. I've tried rebooting however, the icon just comes back within a few minutes. Any one else see this happening?

Mine did randomly for the first 6hrs... not happening anymore so it was prolly actually doing something haha

Yea, it took a long time for mine to end syncing, but eventually it did.

Steps to get the new Swype:

1) Make sure you have a root file explorer like Root Explorer.
2) Mount /system as R/W
3) Navigate to /system/app and rename Swype.apk to Swype.apk.bak
4) Navigate to /data/dalvik-cache
5) Rename data@app@com.swype.android.insttaller-1.apk@classes.dex to data@app@com.swype.android.insttalle...lasses.dex.bak
6) Rename system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex to system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex.bak
7) ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE WITH "SWYPE" LISTED IN THE NAME IN /data/dalvik-cache AND /system/app
8) Install Swype from Swype | Text Input for Screens
9) Have fun Swyping

This worked for me. If you have any issues, let me know and I'll see what I can figure out. Do not touch libSwype.core or your Swype installation will fail.

No it isn't. It is very simple: Rename three files and install the Swype beta from the website. What is difficult about that?

If it's the filenames, I didn't name them data@..... that's Swype/Android's doing.

Anyhow, it took me a while to figure it out, but I'm glad I have my Swype back...now on to VVM.......

EDIT: You can rename the files to whatever you want, I just prefer the .bak methods. You could also remove the files completely if you want...

Only issue I'm really noticing first hand with the GB rom is the lights on touch keys and keyboard like some have mentioned. They will just stop working at some point and I have to reboot to get them back. Other than that I really haven't noticed anything else significant.
