regarding my user dictionary, i want nothing else - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I would like to remove all preinstalled dictionarys from my phone (or deactivate them permanenetly), to use only a dictionary created by the way i type. Like a learnable keylogger that skips words with contained numbers (passwords and alike). How is this possible? I searched quite some time an could not find a sollution.
A dirty workaround would be to prioritize user dictionary words, which is currently not done, and is annoying as f.
Android 7, rooted
If somebody knows, great, if not, no problem. Please enlighten me

For the record. It seems like swiftkey keyboard solved my issues, not exactly what i wanted but close enough.

Predictive text and Voice for 2.1 - Solution

I like the predicitive text on the QWERTY keyboard, the eris feature where alternatives are shown for typed words, presenting an opportunity to choose the correct word. I enjoy using this when doing IMs in Google Talk, for example. This feature seems to be disabled in the default web browser on the eris, in 1.5 before, now in 2.1. The predictive text does not work in the search bar and it does not work in data entry fields in forms displayed by the browser, for example
Can anyone please tell me how one would enable this predictive text input in all apps on the phone? including the search bar for webkit and data entry on web forms?
<see last post for solution>
There is probably a good technical reason for this, like somehow the input method is not known to the web browser application. Perhaps the browser itself is not consulting a system table for availability of this input method at run time. Maybe it only happens at install time? Is there some manual change that could be made to enable this?
I think they disabled it in browser because a lot of websites have names that the predictive text obviously doesnt know and when you type fast and hit space quickly it auto selects words which Id imagine could be quite a pain in the ass online.

Thanks, You are right. I agree as to why they disabled it, but i think the way the feature works, it would really be more benefit to me than a hindrance.
1) Adding a mispelled word or one not in the dictionary is painless, editing this dictionary in the settings is easy too.
2) For activities like retyping stuff (like my email address) in data entry fields in the browser over & over; this would be much better with the ability to spell-check and remember words, especially when accuracy is critical.
I want predictive text in the browser. Why not a voice input option (like in the voice search applet) as well?
Can someone help at least give me the choice, I think these two input methods work very well.
Solved - 2.1 enhanced HTC keyboard, with voice too! - link
This pretty much gives you voice and predictive text wherever you want it without sacrificing anything:
nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-full-voice-to-text-to-htc-desire/
Followed the "HTC Sense Style Keyboard Instructions"
Instructions were for HTC desire but this worked fine on stock OTA 2.1 Eris, not rooted.
HTC_IME_lo_25.apk is the one that installed okay for me. I was half-asleep at the time and I think the other version did not install right, but you might want to try again.
Enjoy!

[Q] Voice input in Android 3.2 switches from English to Japanese

Not my normal wont to buy such a new machine, but circumstances led to my purchase of a first-day-in-the-store Toshiba AT 700 Regza tablet running Android 3.2. After a couple of days of use, I have encountered one particularly annoying problem:
Voice input works quite well, though still on the basis of a few sentences at a time. However, when I do voice input in Gmail, it switches from English (the current language setting) to Japanese (Toshiba's initial market for the new box).
I'm almost sure this is really a problem with the implementation of FSKAREN, the Japanese conversion system. It's possible that it involves the keyboard selector, however. (Sorry, Dorothy, but the Toshiba website is clearly not ready yet, though I may telephone them later...) This behavior is different from my prior experience with voice input in Android (both versions 2 and 3). However, for whatever it is worth, the Japanese recognition is surprisingly good since my Japanese pronunciation is certainly not native-like.
Any ideas or diagnostic suggestions? I was tweaking around in the keyboard settings and actually got it to accept one sentence in English from within Gmail, but that is obviously not a solution. I'm loathe to disable FSKAREN or even to poke at it too hard, but I'm thinking that one solution might be to use an alternative keyboard and enable the input system selector...
Not sure if the background will help, but most of the applications are running in Japanese, though the main applications (as in those from the Google) and including Gmail do run in English mode with English menus. I can usually get along well enough in Japanese, but most of my correspondents read English, not Japanese...
I posted the same question in the Google forums, but I'm almost certain the increasingly evil Google will evade involvement and my prior experience with those help forums has been distinctly unhelpful. So I decided to be optimistic and try over here, too.

[Q] changing text field editing interface

Hello!
Sorry if this is asked/answered, search isn't working on my phone.
Is there any way to change just the text field editing interface on the sgs2? cyanogenmod seems to have it down pretty well but the stock Samsung one that appears in practically all the ROMs I've tried is absolutely pathetic. If anyone is confused about what I mean, I mean selecting words, highlighting words, copying and pasting words, the little text selection arrows etc. It is frustratingly incompetent ATM and is making me want to throw my phone at a wall.
Its the one main thing that bothers me about Android, iOS has this perfectly sorted.
Most of the time now I have to write my emails/forum posts/Facebook posts etc (ie anything with multiple lines of text) in a notepad type program and copy and paste it over, as trying to select a sole word in the middle of many in a websites text field (or similar) is quite literally impossible.
Someone help me, it is driving me insane.
Thank you.
Is there seriously nothing that can be done about this?
I find that quite hard to believe..

[Q] android dictionary filters on explicit words - stock keyboard?

first and foremost, I'm slightly intoxicated, and therefore I apologise for any misspellings, incorrect location for posting or general not-making-sense-ness.
Background
For some reason, since getting my Nexus 5, i remembered my love for the stock android keyboard and never re-downloaded swiftkey.
I've noticed the (below) behaviour, and wondered about the workings of it....
the problem (not really a problem, but i didnt know what else to title it....)
while writing, if i accidently misspell variations of the f-word, (eg fudked), the word gets (red) underlined, and upon clicking the only suggestions are other child friendly words, varying much further away from the original word. if i manually correct this, the red underlining removes itself as if it knows this word, yet its obviously never suggested.
Reasoning
I completely understand why this would never be suggested as a replacement word for unknown spellings.
(stop longing out my life, what is your...) Question?
google has a safe-search filter enable/disable option. is this possible for my dictionary?
I want to be able to stop this filtering of suggestions. im not asking how to, im just curious to know where this filtering is defined, and where i should start to play around.
Thankyou
....for reading this, i apologise for any offendings.....

[Q] Help Regarding Feature Missing on Android

HI I have been a dedicated iphone user but recently moved to Android. I love my phone but the issue that I have is that I can't view news like the reader mode that is available in Safari which also word wraps the text as I zoom in on any news website. Does anyone know any solution? I have tried Opera and it is the only valid solution I have found but has another issue which I am telling now.
The second feature that I miss the most is the ability to select words while reading any article and click Define to get the meaning of the word. Now on Android though I found word lookup but this doesn't work with opera. So I can't use both these features together which is a very bad experience for me. I have done enough search but can't find a browser that can word wrap the text as I zoom in and also has the ability to define words. I hope anyone of the experience users have answer to my query.
