User Dictionary - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know where the file for the standard keyboard's user dictionary lies so that I can easily copy over words? Or even better if there's a simpler way to transfer the dictionary from the HTC IME mods to the standard (Gingerbread??) keyboards?

Its in one of the data directories I believe. I haven't looked in awhile but I think its in one of those.

I've been digging around those files trying to find it.
Does anyone perhaps know more specifically?

[Q] Swype issues?

So Swype scanned all my contacts for names I guess, but some of my contacts have everyday words in them (such as Utah). Every time I type something and Utah comes up, I try to change it and it gives that notification that I can delete it, even though it's a state and should be in the dictionary anyway.
Also, a lot of the words in the dictionary I don't think are real words, so it annoys me when I try to type something and some nonexistant word comes up that I can't delete from the dictionary.
Anyway I attached some screenshots to illustrate this. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried clearing data and reinstalling Swype. I'm running the latest version of Virtuous ROM with S-off.
I think the new swype added contact names to the dictionary. The word utah is standard in my dictionary.. Weird, I would go on the swype forums and see what they say

Chrome to Phone question/request/hack/how?/possible?

Is there a way to hack Chrome to Phone to open webpages in other tabs instead of overwriting my existing one.
I wanted to read a couple of articles on the new Honeycomb tools that released today and I C2P'd it to my Evo. I found another article and when I C2P'd it, it replaced the first article.
Does anyone know if this would be possible. Is it controlled in the app itself or is it something that is controlled by the Browser APK.
Set the app on your phone to not open links automatically. This way you get the different links in your dropdown

Copy and Paste Hotkeys

Hey folks,
I've been able to get by, copy pasting using a long press. But I've noticed that it doesn't work in a number of areas. I had trouble with the native email (not gmail) app. I want to copy a tracking number from the email, but there's no way to do it. I even tried to reply and fwd the email to make the text editable... but no luck.
Long pressing in the email app seems to highlight the text, but no options come up, and the menu button gives me irrelevant settings.
It seems that there is no hardware shortcut or hotkey to copy and paste! This is terrible and so inconvenient.
Does anyone know a way to program the quick keys to perform cut, copy and paste maneuvers? I imagine it would be pretty simple to do. It would finally make good use of those 3 crummy keys.
Thanks

I have no trouble copying from my email... you long press, drag the highlight across your desired text, and then tap quickly... a toast messages appears saying that it was copied to the clipboard...
What ROM are you using?
Edit: Ah, I see you're also running CM7. You should have the capability.

I can copy/paste from gmail without issue by long pressing. But it won't work from the email app that I use for my yahoo account.

Yeah, I can copy/paste from my non-gmail email application too. Mine is AOL, but really it should not matter... that's weird it doesn't work you... lemme try something...
I just tried copying in gmail and it works the same as my other email...

maybe this can help you, it adds a possibility to have hardware copy/paste shortcuts
MENU+A -> select/deselect all
MENU+C -> copy selected
MENU+V -> paste
Thank you for the replies!
I figured it out. The problem I had was that I couldn't perform the copy function in the native email (not gmail) app. I managed to select the text with a long press, but there was no way to copy it to my clipboard... or so I thought. Turns out pressing the trackpad once the text is selected copies it!
And thanks for the app suggestion. I was rooting around the dev guide hoping to map the quick keys to cut, copy and paste. That would make good use of them
EDIT: Sorgo, I can't seem to download that app. Oddly enough I can't download most apps recently because the market claims my device is not compatible. This happened not too long ago. I'm on CM7 #220 running 2.3.7. I thought it was because I had changed my resolution in my build.prop file, but even with a default build.prop, I can't download a thing. Any suggestion there?

Don't know if they found a solution, but these users are too...

I managed to download Z Arrow. I will test it out tomorrow, thank you.
I went back to my default build.prop at 240 lcd density and cleared the market cache. By the way, neither of this two things alone ever worked for me, but together it seems to do the trick and fix the incompatibility issue I mentioned earlier.

Manually Add Words to swype dictiony? or maybe backup personal dictionary somehow....

AS im sure people who use swype beta have noticed, swype received an update recently. while overall im happy witht he update, i see that they took out (or im just blind) manually adding words to personal dictionary straight from swype settings. I know you can just type the word and tap it once while its in the auto correct bar, but i like adding most of my words b4 i start using swype. So is there a way with the new swype update?
And since i like to flash roms allot, is there a way to backup the personal dictionary and then import it to the new rom? would be pretty kick ass if its possible
Use titanium backup. Dictionary, keyboard that should do it

How to port an App?

Hi, i've got a little problem.
I mistakenly deleted an App from another account. This app is no longer available in the Appstore. But i've got it installed on my secondary account. How can i port it back? I know it's still installed, but not accessible for the second account. Any ideas?
That... is probably not easy. Anybody have a better suggestion that re-packaging the .APPX file and sideloading it? That's not a good solution, really, but I can't think of a better one offhand.
No one else got an idea?
I really don't want to sideload it. I thought someone would know what registry keys i would need to do it. I looked around and found a lot in the local user registry. I thought maybe just copy them over to get access to it, or something like that.
You could certainly try that. I'm afraid I don't really know how the modern app launching works, or I'd suggest just trying to create a launcher link right to the app. You can't start them the same way as desktop apps though, even when they have EXE files.

You could try coping the folders over. C:\Program Files\WindowsApps is where they are located. The folder is hidden and you have to take ownership to open.
Copy it over from what? It's another profile on the same computer. All profiles run apps from the same location...
