Hey, I tried searching, but the search function is pretty much useless with keywords like "swype"....
Does anyone know how to remove words from the swype dictionary? For instance, when I press "1" it fills in "10q" instead. And with "2" it wants to do "2moro" or "2nite." I'm not so lazy that I can't type "tomorrow" or "tonight," so I would like to take those entries as well as a few others out of the possible-words list.
Google searches have given results such as, "you can only delete words you added." I don't think that's true though, so hopefully someone here at XDA can enlighten me.

You're supposed to type the word you dont want, then highlight it, hit swype key and it'll give you a delete option. Gets tedious after a while. Id like to just edit the dictionary file manually.

Yeah, I tried that, but I can't get a delete option by pressing the swype key, unless it's a word that I added myself, like slang and vulgarities.
Do you have 10q and 2moro in your dictionary? I assume you do. Can you delete them?

If im not mistaken, I think you've already been told not to bump your own thread on same day posted. I don't really read names, so I might be mistaken.
That's the first time I've ever bumped any post, so I think you are indeed mistaken.

No, I haven't, but I have a feeling that method would only do one of two things:
1. Remove only words that I have added to the dictionary
Or
2. Remove every word from the dictionary
Neither of those will accomplish what I am trying to do, but thanks for trying to help

Indeed. I am sifting through the swype.apk to try to find where it has the built in dictionary, but no such luck yet.

I hate it when you get "ghats" instead of "that's" even when you swype over the damn apostrophe. wtf does ghats even mean?? And why is it programed into the default dictionary?

I have come across a bunch of useless/nonsense words with Swype...
However, after doing some digging, I think I've found that /assets/files/EnglishUS.zdb.le is either the whole dictionary or at least a part of it. People who want to change their language manipulate the .zdb.le files within /assets/files, not the actual files themselves (for instance, renaming Dutch.zdb.le to EnglishUS.zdb.le). So it seems to me that .zbd.le files have to be related to the dictionary database.
Unfortunately, I don't know what to do with the file.......

Any of you guys have any luck yet? I've looked all over the Swype forums, and it doesn't seem like the guys at Swype want to give users the option to delete bull**** nonsense words, even with many people complaining. I was thinking there has to be some developer who has found a way to do this, and release it on a rom.

I was just browsing the /sdcard/ directory on my captivate and I noticed several directories belonging to applications that were previously uninstalled.
This reminds me of Windows where uninstalling a program leaves a little or a lot of junk behind (registry keys, dll, etc) depending on how poorly the uninstall routine was written.
Enter Revo Uninstaller which scans your hd looking for all that stuff that the program left behind.
Is there a similar app for Android?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Ya, i'm also looking any similar to this. Anyone help much appreciated.
Not that I know of. Bad part is, you must be rooted to delete most of that stuff. So the average user can have a ton of unwanted crap that only a factory reset will get rid of.
-Figured i needed a signature for my phone. This is it.
I know this is a very old thread but I am searching for this right now too, or does the build in installer of android also scan for left over files?

Nope, it leaves tons of crap behind. Folders that the apk created with all the junk the app put in them.

PLEASE?! thanks!
Does anyone know how i can put the white multi touch keyboard on my sgs and wherebi can download it? Idk how to install via cwm. I tried using
that to install something else and it pretty much messed up my phone and i had to reinstall the rom. Thanks.
Might get some more bites if you listed the name of the keyboard you want.
Grrrr... I forgot which one it was! It was all white. And i rhink it was titled as an android keyboard. Maybe a droid x ordroid 2 keyboard?

I think a small compromise is needed. Try using "better keyboard" to see if that can provide u some temp relief while some dev tries to figure this out.

Difficult in what way? I think its probably the easiest soft keyboard to use. I guess if you're not used to a qwerty keyboard then it does take some time to get used to where the keys are as swyping with efficiency does require you to have the letters locations committed to memory.

Exactly, it's hard to see as you're "swype-ing". I view this as just a novelty . After a little while it gets fun lol.

That's probably the reason people view it as a novelty. It becomes second nature after a while. I've gotten to the point now where I don't even have to look for individual letters on the keyboard as I'm swyping. I just need to view the keyboard as a whole and its just burned into my memory where I need to swype to get the letters. it just takes a little time, but once your get it down its by far the fastest way to type without having an actual physical keyboard.

What keyboard do you all use? I was using the Swift X, I loved it, but now my trial ran out, and I am not certain if I want to drop 4 bux on an app. Any thoughts? Opinions?
I like the keyboard included in the clean rom cubed gifted us unworthy throngs.

2. Mount file system as R/W (top right hand corner of Root Explorer)
3. Add ".bak" to end of \system\app\swype.apk
4. Add ".bak" to end of \data\dalvik-cache\[email protected]@[email protected]

As the topic suggests I want to know how to take words OUT of the dictionary. I'm sick of the word "niggardly" coming up. It auto corrects to that all the time. Also when I type "Guy" it always capitalizes the G. Anyone got any ideas on how to do this?
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium
Depending on what ROM ur on....
Go to settings/ language & keyboard / user dictionary
I hate the guy going to Guy also but its a name so its capitalized. Next time type it, tap on the word and it should give the option "Tap to add"
Good luck

I'm on kushdeck. Sorry should have clarified that. I know I can add words the way you suggested but there's no way to delete them? I know Guy is a name but seriously ...who the hell knows someone named Guy? His mother should be shot if you do. I don't know anyone who uses the word niggardly either. They should also be shot. Just saying. I'd love to delete both of those if possible. Thanks for the response btw!
