[Q] How to delete user dictionary - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm having an issue with deleting the user dictionary on my Play.
I've looked in the keyboard settings > user dictionary and it looks as if custom words that are learnt aren't stored in there.
What I need to delete is all the words that get picked up along the way during texting. I have so many words that are simply wrong or typos that I accidentally added and its annoying.
I read somewhere that it might be possibly to do this through a root file manager and finding a directory somewhere?
I have a rooted 2.3.3. This is really bugging me!

PCTimer.exe features ?

Hello,
My 9090 has been changed, and I reinstalled everything.
I get from time to time a message "Notification error" "Impossible to execute My Documents\Data\pCTimer.exe".
Has someone got this file, in the same folder or one else ?
Where should it come from, and what's the use ?
Thanks for your help.

I really dont know what is that.. but sure you can try to backup and delete the file from Windows\Startup
The fact is I miss this file, there is no data folder in My Documents :shock:
Anyone who has got the file PCTimer.exe, how did you ?
Feel free to send a link or any info.

Did a hardboot and reinstalled.
Data folder dtill missing, but no more warning. 8)

Some program was at some time installed into your "My Documents\Data" directory, and added itself to your notification database. You've since removed the application, but the removal didn't get rid of the database entry, which is why you were getting this error.
You could have gotten a utility like Anoton Tomov's Pocket Mechanic (Look at http://www.antontomov.com), which would allow you to look at all the entries in the Notification database and even remove the offending entry.
This would have saved you hard resetting your device.
I've had a similar problem with eWallet 4.0 installed on my SD card, where I'd get an error like that if my XDA shut off before I closed eWallet.

Edit MyWords File

Hi everyone,
I want to clean up the MyWords Database, but after a lot of different attempts, I can't figure how to do that.
I just want to delete some words that WM6 has saved but that were misspelled, or that are no longer usefull.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best Regards.
i have the same problem on mine with WM5, i've looked everywhere, and havent found anything! If someone could shed a light....
settings /input/ word completion /clear stored entries?
autocorrect
isn't it autocorrect.[LanguageID].txt you have to edit ?
Yes it is:
settings /input/ word completion /clear stored entries
But isn't it possible to delete just the words that I want to delete? Because your proposal just deletes everything that has been stored,...

Wall of Questions

1) What is: Nandroid, Titanium Backup, Rom Manager, Estrong Manager, AmonRa
to be specific - do I need all of them or just 1-2 of them?
2) What is the difference?
I read some perfer Clockwork Recover while other says there has been issues with it but AmonRa hasnt.
3)Answered
4) Do I really have to WIPE every time I switch (Flash) Rom?
I have read few posts that mention they don't do it and never had an issue.
What is the purpose of Wiping?
5) AOSP?? huh new jargon (working on it)
6) Answered
7) Confirm if im doing this right:
Download (new-rom.zip) - move to sd card - do one of the following: (nandroid, titanium or both?) - turn off phone, turn on to recovery mode, wipe (optional?), factory reset (optional?), wipe cache/delv (optional?), install zip, yada yada yada...?
8) What happens if I get (insert ROM) and open it's zip, remove the stuff I want out than rezip and load? good idea or bad idea?
9) What is a Launcher? how many types of Launcher are there? Adw, Pro, X, Y, Z?
I'll think of more later on. Sorry for the massive noob question. Im constantly reading the dev section forums and seeing several jargons im not fully understanding and alot of apps that some uses over the other.
dude, these are beyond noob questions.
every question in your post can easily be answered with a few minutes of searching.
I'm almost tempted to answer your questions but you need to learn this stuff, and not by having it spoon-fed to you, not to mention the subject matters you ask about would take a great deal of my precious time to explain. You read enough to get your phone rooted without bricking it, keep up the reading.
We all learned a ton of new stuff when we first got into android phones. Those with LINUX experience had a shorter learning curve, I for one had zero experience with LINUX. And most of us learned it by SEARCHING and READING. The more of this stuff you learn by your own research the better, you will have an actual understanding of how these things work.
If you want I will answer ONE of the above questions, in depth. Your choice..
Im constantly reading and I getting alot of contradiction answers. Thus im trying to break each one apart on pro/con. I guess my main concern that a search won't find an answer would be:
6) How do I get access into the Internal Memory?
caused I have searched using (internal storage, internal memory) and been unable to find an answer to it.

Get a file explorer. They work very similarly to explorer windows in Windows. You'll be able to see the file structure, remove files you don't want, add ones you want, move stuff around (which is especially useful for managing your sdcard)
I prefer Root Explorer, but it's a paid app. If you want a free option just to get your feet wet then get Astro File Manager from the market and start poking around just DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING unless you KNOW what it is and KNOW you don't want it anymore.
One tip regarding removing apps.. if you're not sure what the outcome will be you can add something like ".bak" to the end of the filename which essentially makes the file invisible to the system without removing it yet.
Although if it's a system critical apk then you might get a boot loop, in which case you will need a nandroid backup ready to restore.
what im currently doing now is constantly flashing 2.2 stock
I read titanium removes apps and I learned Sprint Zone = promotional.apk that is required to stay on to use *2 *3 dial...
But the .bak thing is nice, basically if I can't remove it, I still be able not to see it.
now as far as the .bak is concern - where do I rename it from? from the root explorer app? just long press it & rename the .xxx to .bak? or .xxx.bak?
you do not need sprint zone for anything
rename or remove files using a file explorer, and I don't know what you mean by "if I can't remove it".. you can remove any file using a file explorer
I usually just add .bak to whatever extension is already there. So if you're using LauncherPro and want to see if removing rosie.apk causes any problems (it wont, you can do without it just fine as long as you have another launcher installed) rename it to rosie.apk.bak and reboot
alright, btw I tried astro and it only shows me the folders/app of my SD card.
Im not looking to mess with those.
I want to view the Internal phone memory and possibly the Bios.
Second, with Astrofile - Let's say Amazonmp3 - im able to find that but within the stock2.2 rom.zip - removing from that zip wont change anything though unless I re-flash it, correct?
I am under the impression, once I flash a rom.zip, I can remove that rom.zip out of the sd card. the info is stored internally or in the bios. That is where I want to get acess to.
I know through titanium - if I find amazonmp3 and un-install from there, it removes from my phone.
there is no bios on android
astro's default view is the sdcard, you can go up one level and see all the system folders
yes, once you flash the rom you can remove the rom's zip from your sdcard but you might as well leave it in case you need to reflash it

[Q] Recovering MIUI Notes

I looked through other threads and searches and searched and couldnt find an answer, sorry if i bother or upset anyone by starting this new thread, that is not my intentions.
Model-Droid Incredible
Previous Rom-MIUI
Current Rom MCsense 2.5
Simple question, frustrating topic (on my behalf), doubtful answer.
Ok soooo, the MIUI roms has a stock notes app. I used it frequently and had some notes on there i wish i had now. Problem is, MIUI started giving me problems force stopping and what not and i was forced to flash a new rom. IT didnt cross my mind to screen shot the notes as the notes i had weren't the first thing on my mind. I know MIUI had/has its own file when you look in the file manager on your phone but my question is:
Were the notes on the MIUI notes app saved in any way, in any place on the sdcard or phone to where i could recover the notes i had when MIUI was my functioning rom. I still have the MIUI folder on my phone but i cannot find the notes i HAD but i know they were saved obviously because they were saved when the rom was functioning. Anyone have any ideas?
I assume i've lost the notes forever but this was worth asking to me. Please forgive me is i piss anyone off by starting this new thread but i honestly did look and search on here and Google and other forum sites including looking through MIUI info. Thanks for your time spent reading.

If you did a nandroid of your last miui install just restore it, write down your notes, and then nandroid back to your current rom. That is probably the only way.

In Miui notes if you use the Menu key you will get an option for exporting text to your SD card. Select this option and your notes will be backed up to your SD.

1. Install Titanium Backup (with root rights, of course),
2. Tap Backup/Restore,
3. Tap & hold on Notes app (it will open the special features)
4. Tap on "Explore" (it will open the location of the data. The accesible field were in bold font)
5. Tap on "

6. Tap on "Save file locally" or other options fit to your need
7. Locate the CSV file, open with office application.
Ahh, finished ! :victory:

Hi. Is it working..? I want to backup my notes too before change my ROM
This .csv seems to be OK on the Phone, with english and russian letters (my native language is russian). But when open on PC = all russian symbols are hieroglyphs, like wrong coding or something.
I think it's solvable, but more important question is how to restore from that .CSV to Google Keep or ColorNote or another app that supports multi-platform synchro?

Offline App installation

Hi every one
i think it would be nice if we can install one bada phone's backup on another phone
These are all i know about samsung backups:
1.samsung makes a registry entry for each backup in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/SAMSUNG/KIES2.0/BNR
2.samsung backups include imei and application names in registry entries
3. also when you have a .sbu file without registry entry you can give it to kies via "find backup file" button and it makes a registry entry from the file, SO imei and other info s are included in .sbu file too.
i've tried changing imei in registry entries but again i couldnt restore another bada phone's backup!! maybe because of no 3.
so sharing our ideas can help finding a way for offline app installation in bada 2.
i request everyone participates in this topic especially talented users like adfree and other friends
Please don't make stupid questions and let this topic goes right
sorry for my bad english
