AFAIK, swype is only working under nookie froyo. You can try slideit, instead: Help getting slideit going? - xda-developers
awesome, i got it working. i put the apk in data/app and system/app, checked all the boxes under their permissions, rebooted and i'm good. thanks man!!
not swype, but the slideit is working. i can select swype but it gives me an error about the resolution and won't show up.
