I moved the D3 preinstalled swype.apk to a backup folder and tried to use the swype beta installer to get the latest swype version. After selecting swype as my input however it immediately force closes. Am I missing a step or something? Or maybe the new betas do not run on D3 yet? any clues?

Go to the page listed in post #2, and follow the instructions.
When I did this, Swype installed, but when I would touch an input box to type text, it wouldn't load the Swype keyboard. A quick reboot, and I was back up an running on the beta version of Swype.

Well I went into /data/ and deleted all the swype files i could find and ran the swype installer again and it worked for about half a day. Then it just started force closing again. Everytime I choose swype it force closes.
I had the beta working for a second there..
