I found a couple .apk's that don't seem to work. Does anyone know where I can find Swype for my Evo?

I had swype before rooting my Eris, its still showing up as installation complete but when I choose to use it instead of the default one on my phone it won't let me. Does it work on rooted phones?

Apologies. I just read the moderators comment. My link was only used by myself because I messed up my beta version. How? I'll tell you.
After Swype is installed and you flash a new ROM, you might find that Swype is not working correctly. You can tap, but Swyping just causes a blue outline around the keyboard with no textual result.
The solution, as I found out too late, is to go to Applications | Manange, and clear the cache for Swype.
What I was doing is reinstalling Swype every single time. Eventually, I got a message that said, "You've installed Swype too many times" and I was cut off. So I found the apk and installed it.
So beware of installing your beta too many times.
