After the 3.2 update, Swype has stopped working. It no longer will install and you will get a ERROR when you try to use the installer. From the Swype beta bug forums, they are aware of this issue but they don't just want to support the screen resolution. Do you guys experience this as well?
Not going to answer your question directly, but FYI... the Flex T9 keyboard https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input&feature=search_result is working well on 3.2.
This is the swype alternative that also includes speech to text.It is a bit pricy, but has been very solid.
Interestingly enough though, even though it is installed, it is not showing in the market or under my apps.
Im using swype as I type this. Works fine for me.
umm.... how?! Are you on 3.2?
Correct, swype does not function correctly on 3.2, however they know that this issue exists and are working on a fix.
Actually that is wrong swype may pop an error up from time to time but hit ok and it works fine.

Or, is there a way to work out by modifying the configuration of swype? Has anyone done yet?

Swype won't even install on my hammerhead 3.2 rom. It keeps saying Connection error - check your Wifi connection. I'm fully connected though, so it's really weird. Has anyone else been getting this error by any chance?

Just so everyone knows, the new Swype 3.25 works with my stock 3.2 Xoom.

This is because tiamat uses a modified framework. You need to find a stock one and flash it.

Head over to Swype's site, register for the beta, and you should quickly receive an email (that you should open on your Android device) sending you to the beta download site. Once Swype is installed, you'll be led through setting it up and enabling it on your phone—if that doesn't work, press and hold on any input field, select "Input method," then choose Swype.Better act fast it might close soon !!!!

Actually, it was my fault, I guess. I have Droidwall installed to block a few apps from connecting to the net. I opened it to find the swype installer was blocked. I don't know how because, you have to open droidwall, select the app and apply the rule to block it. I haven't opened droidwall in weeks, so I have no idea how it got blocked. Anyway, i have swype working. Am prepared to be wowed..

Make sure the User Agent of your browser is Android instead of Desktop.
For those of you following along with the thread in the development forum, I'm not allowed to post in there yet but I've come across something of interest.
I took the resources.arsc file out of the framework-res-uastring.apk posted there and put it in the framework-res.apk that I pulled from my WiFi Xoom, and wouldn't you know, it worked!
I'm testing for stability now, but I can say that it's working for me so far. I've attached my modified framework-res.apk in case anyone wants to test along with me without going through the trouble of mashing files.
Nice, I was wondering if that would work. Just a word of caution though, since this resources.arsc comes from the US 3g Xoom it only has US-English and Spanish support.
Can someone test this and verify it works?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Works. Don't forget to reboot after applyng. I will post back if I notice any side effects but so far no problems.

Is this for the wifi version, would it work on 3g? And do I need root?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I tried it and caused multiple FC's on me as soon as it rebooted.
I however did the samething you did and pulled my framework-res.apk, added the resources.asrc file to it and then pushed it and all was good. Thanks for the idea!
Thanks for that Codespeare. I have posted a version for the Canadian WIFI Xoom ONLY under the Dev section OT.

pulled my framework-res.apk & added the resources.asrc file. works great. thanks Codespear!!!
I did it too, worked. EXCELLENT!
Will try now, thank you so much, I love you really I do.
EDIT: works... but at what cost? I have noticed the keyboard has been acting up, sort of how like the Gingerbread keyboard screws up from time to time, I don't think it's it me, but sometimes when I type something like backck it does that! Back back back backck, I have never noticed this before hand.... I am typing this out on my Xoom right now just to let you know. I hope this wasn't the fix. Still the keyboard works okay but that annoying bug that Gingerbread gets is present... pretty weird. Hope for a fix if this is really the UA string fix. Thanks anyways, it works great!

You can now load up a website in full desktop mode by default. If you don't have this all websites will load into their mobile versions, because it detects it is Android and makes it suitable for the screen. Since Android works on tablet PCs now, this should be an interchangable option, however I don't think Google thought of this when they were making the browser.

Because it changes back by default on the Android web browser. Also this is for the wifi only Xoom, there is another version specifically for the 3g Xoom.

There's a thread in the dev forum specifically for the 3G. I tried what I did as sort of a last resort for the wifi version.
I installed the updated Netflix app released today and now I'm able to stream movies, the color is off a little though.
Here is the link to apk

i see what you mean..i have this green bar going across the screen in the bottom. colors aren't that great..but eh. i can deal with this for now.
watching Mortal Kombat..
Tried austin powers, plays very smoothly but with strange colors
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
it's the video decoding due to our phones, probably because of the tegra. this has been known since the netflix app was first released (FYI it's been working on our phones since then, the APK was posted in the apps forum)
Still a pretty awesome step in the right direction.
Doesn't android have a graphics layer that's standard across releases that developers can code to instead of hardware specific? Greenbar is pretty annoying.

It does, although this is a video decoder issue.

If anyone is having issues where installer says disable swype and you do, but its not seeing it....use root explorer and just delete swype apk and it will all work.
One nice feature is that you can make keyboard smaller and then move the keyboard to wherever you want, allowing it to be used with one thumb. I like it and have been waiting for this since I got my zoom.

When you say "does not work", what do you mean?
What are the specific symptoms? E.g. "When I click on the play icon on a video I get an error box saying foo"
Just tested on Stock Xoom 4g. Works fine here.
