Version of Swype included in 2.2 update

[Guest Loconinja]

I have found that the Swype included in the 2.2. update (I'm currently on 309 build) is not as accurate as the Beta I was using previously. It constantly gets words wrong. If I try to install the Beta again, it says the "Swype is already installed".

Is this version inferior, or do I just need to experiment with the settings?

I much prefer the beta so I eradicated the included build and installed the new

As posted previously,

Rename or delete

system/app/swype.apk and system/lib/lib.swype.core

You can just append .bak to the names.

Delete or move data/data/com.swype.whatever it is

Reboot, you must reboot!

Run the swype installer, the latest has an option for a 2mb file rather than 10mb as long as you speak english or spanish

It IS a settings issue.

I know because I thought the same thing...

So I checked the Swype settings and realized that the slider for Speed vs Accuracy was set pretty far toward the Speed side... if it was a 0-100 scale it was at about 30, when it had been at about 70 on the beta...

I moved my slider over and all is as it should be.
