I'm having the same issues as Chrussell1215 was having with Swype. Here's exactly what I did and the error I'm receiving:
1) Came from Rubix v0.3 (A blur ROM)
2) Followed instructions in OP to install ZapX RC2 (did not wipe "Data")
3) Downloaded swype.zip and installed via Rom Manager.
4) Swype installs, but does not allow actual "Swyping" Checked in the Swype settings (withing the langauge and keyboard settings) and the "Language" selection option is greyed out. I'm guessing this is the issue, because Swype doesn't seem to know what I'm trying to swype.
Note: I also tried changing the permissions of the Swype.apk in Root Explorer (allowed everything R/W) to no avail.
Also tried installing a copy of the Swype.apk on its own (without doing the update.zip), and received the same types of problems.
Not sure what else to try at this point. Should I go back to my 2.2 stock deodexed backup, then reflash? Trying to avoid having to clear data, but I will if necessary to get Swype working.
Btw, outside of my Swype issues, this ROM has been outstanding. Great work!
