This thread intended for devices with limited system memory such as LG Optimus One Family devices ( P500, P505, P506, P509 ). This mod is to assist in shrinking in the overall size of the /system partition to allow for the installation of Google Apps.

I should note that I am not creating the dictionaries. I am simply placing one dictionary from each predefined dictionary into a LatinIME.apk that has English also. Please don't ask me to create a dictionary for your language if it isn't already defined, as I cannot make them. I'm only doing this to lend a hand to those who don't know how.

If your language isn't listed below, then either I haven't made an apk for it yet or your language isn't supported.

A thought. You could also use ES File Explorer's App Manager to uninstall it. There is also an option to create a backup of the app, in Es File Explorer's settings, before deleting it.

You don't need to delete it tho. Put apk on sdcard. Make sure you have enabled the ability to install software from unknown sources. Then with any file manager, browse to the folder on your sdcard where you put this latinIME.apk and select it to install. It will overwrite the old one.

Have you ever heard of a file explorer? If yes, download a root explorer, mount system as r/w and delete the LatinIME apk from system/apps and replace it with the new apk. Don't forget to change permissions to rw-r-r

I'm not at my PC at the moment but if I'm not mistaken there is not a Hindi dictionary in the full LatinIME.apk . I cannot make the language dictionaries. I will check tho.
As for making one yourself, its pretty easy. Download the mini English LatinIME.apk to your PC. Rename it by adding .zip extension. Download or copy from a rom the full LatinIME.apk. Also rename by adding .zip extension. Use some kind of zip manager to open the mini English LatinIME. Browse to /res/raw/. Now do the same for the full LatinIME. find your language dict in the full LatinIME, copy it. Go to the mini English version and paste what you copied to the /res/raw folder. Make sure that your dict is just stored, not compressed. Close the zip app. Rename the edited LatinIME.apk.zip back to LatinIME.apk. Now its ready to install on your device.

Yeah, I got there's no Hindi dictionary, that's why I removed the line.
B4 a good days ago I was too trying remove all other languages but I was unsuccessful.
Anyway, The method you gave above is very easy.
