Does anyone know how to restore the user dictionary when going from Android Keyboard 2.3.5 to Android Keyboard 2.3.6? I'm assuming the version difference is what is causing my problems. I usually do it by using MyBackup Pro, however it doesn't seem to be working this time. Titanium Backup says it's installed as "[USER DICT] User Dictionary 2.3.5", but I'm guessing it's unseeable by 2.3.6? I've also tried using the Market app called User Dictionary Manager, but I need the user_dict.db file from one of my backups I would imagine. But I can't figure out how to extract that from either MyBackup Pro or Titanium Backup. Is there an easy way to do this that I don't know about? Or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Hey plwalsh, try checking the default language in your device settings. It's possible that the ROM you just flashed has it set to Canadian English while all of your saved words are in U.S. English. Hope that helps!

Thanks 88! That did the trick. You sound to be quite the smart man ;) Figured it out after saving a new word and checking the SQL database and seeing it marked as "en-CA".
