I believe this is also posted in the Eris forum, but I thought you guys might also enjoy this. Attached is the Swype beta originally only available for the droid and nexus one, but it has been resized and works beautifully on our Heroes! Just unzip, copy over to SD and install with a file explorer. Enjoy!

Do you have Settings>Applications>Unknown sources checked?

Yep, that is checked as well as usb debugging.

I used Astro file manager to install this, works like a charm.

Pretty neat. It keeps typing duck when I want to say something else....My swear word benchmark. :P

Ok got it working. The problem was that I had the original one that didn't work still installed. After uninstalling it, rebooting and installing this one, it worked. Thanks op.

to teach it a new work, tap out the word like you would normally would without swype and then press space. the next time you swype the word it will work or be an option.

To enable it go to: settings> locale&text

Then put a check mark next to swype.

Finally, find a text box and long press it. You will get a menu to choose your input preference. Choose swype and you're done.
