[Q] How to backup user dictionary on HTC Desire?

jamy_hallian · Nov 16, 2010

Hello all the geniouses at XDA..

I have question regarding how to backup user dictionary on HTC Desire.
I change ROMs on a regular basis. Trying and evaluating new ROMs

But one of the biggest problems I face is I lose all my user dictionary words which I have saved and after switching to a new ROM, I have to add all the words again to my user dictionary.

I was wondering if there exists any way through which I can backup my user dictionary and restore it once I have switched to a new ROM, so that I dont have to go through the hassle of adding them again to my dictinary?

I think "My backup Pro" has this feature...

I'm not sure if the Desire 2.2 ROMs have this option but I know the Desire HD 2.2 ROM allows you to backup/restore the dictionary under Settings > Language and Keyboards > Touch Input settings > Personal dictionary.

And if you use the HTC_IME mod keyboard, then that also has the option to backup and restore.

Yeah. I tried My backup Pro. According to the apps description it has this feature but I tried it once before changing a Rom and when I restored my backup, it completed successfully but there were no words in the dictionary. So, in short it doesn't work.

I use the HTC.IME mod (its basically the sense keyboard for a non sense Rom) and backup pro does save the settings and dictionary because its installed as an app and not part of the rom. I've not lost a word since I rooted and started flashing roms.

Hmm. I will take another try and let you guys know whether it works or not.

jamy_hallian · Nov 19, 2010

Ok guys. Now I can totally confirm that mybackuppro does NOT restore the user dictionary. It does backup it up but does NOT restore.

I found another way of doing it through. It's by using titanium backup. There is a system file in titanium backup by name of [USER DICT HTC] Touch Input 2.10 in green colour. If you back it up and restore it using titanium backup after ROM change, you will still have your user dictionary intact.

That's exactly my experience with it on >50 backup/restores by now.

You can use the method in my above post.

It's working and I can confirm it. Have done it twice in a day.

I am glad now. ROM changing is much easier for me now.

The User Dictionary Manager apps does this well.

---------------------------------------------
For me "user dictionary backup" and titanium ... both wont work,
It just learns from facebook and gmail.
If anyone have solution to this ... kindly message me,
