[Q] Where is the personal dictionary file kept for saved words? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As petty as this might seem to some, i really would benefit greatly by having my saved dictionary from my EVO so i could use it on my htc jetstream. The list of hundreds of words I have saved is really killing me that I have to type then and save them all on my Allstream.
Does anyone know how to extract that file?
I'm referring to settings> language and keyboard> touch input > personal dictionary

[Q] Swype issues?

So Swype scanned all my contacts for names I guess, but some of my contacts have everyday words in them (such as Utah). Every time I type something and Utah comes up, I try to change it and it gives that notification that I can delete it, even though it's a state and should be in the dictionary anyway.
Also, a lot of the words in the dictionary I don't think are real words, so it annoys me when I try to type something and some nonexistant word comes up that I can't delete from the dictionary.
Anyway I attached some screenshots to illustrate this. Anyone have any ideas? I've tried clearing data and reinstalling Swype. I'm running the latest version of Virtuous ROM with S-off.
I think the new swype added contact names to the dictionary. The word utah is standard in my dictionary.. Weird, I would go on the swype forums and see what they say

User Dictionary

Does anyone know where the file for the standard keyboard's user dictionary lies so that I can easily copy over words? Or even better if there's a simpler way to transfer the dictionary from the HTC IME mods to the standard (Gingerbread??) keyboards?
Its in one of the data directories I believe. I haven't looked in awhile but I think its in one of those.

I've been digging around those files trying to find it.
Does anyone perhaps know more specifically?

Manually Add Words to swype dictiony? or maybe backup personal dictionary somehow....

AS im sure people who use swype beta have noticed, swype received an update recently. while overall im happy witht he update, i see that they took out (or im just blind) manually adding words to personal dictionary straight from swype settings. I know you can just type the word and tap it once while its in the auto correct bar, but i like adding most of my words b4 i start using swype. So is there a way with the new swype update?
And since i like to flash roms allot, is there a way to backup the personal dictionary and then import it to the new rom? would be pretty kick ass if its possible
Use titanium backup. Dictionary, keyboard that should do it

Search predicitons not working in some text fields.

When i'am using the swiftkey keyboard, (or swype for that matter), i do not get word predicitons in some text fields such as :-
1) Stock browser Search
2) Google Play Search Box,
And many other places.
IT is quite annoying because, the main idea of these apps is to provide meaningful predictions.. Is there anyway to fix this?
But what to Fix?

No. There's nothing wrong to get fixed!
Even with the HTC Sense Input, we don't get word suggestions in Stock or any other browser's address bar and play Store Search box as there we don't need any grammer.
The phone knows that the name of the website (in case of browser's address box) and the name of an app (in case of play store's search box) may not be there feeded in the dictionary. The names of the websites or apps aren't words that are there in a dictionary. But when you type a message, you're typing a language which needs grammar and these words used are there in the dictionary so the phone will automatically provide you word suggestions.

Dude, I agree in case of google play you probably don't require predictions..
But, wouldnt it be helpful if you had predictions if if u were searching for something loooong in the browser..
And as i said , they were only two examples... the predicions also don't work in text fields of 3rd party apps.
with swype u can save a word in the custom dictionary and, just "swype" to get those words/email id's/usernames/numbers passwords even in ANY text
So its was quite annoying when i switched over to swiftkey.
I heard the bug is fixed in android 4.0.4? Is there a workaround?

Keyboard and Personal Dictionary

Hi All,
I recently changed from a Nexus 5 to OnePlus 3. One of the things that i am most troubled by is the personal dictionary issue. I am a Bengali and have saved quite a few Bengali words (>2000 saved) and swipes in my 3 years of using Nexus 5 with the Google Keyboard. I used User Dictionary Manager to take a backup of those words in a .txt file and was hoping to import them into the OP3. But UDM is disabled and the Google Keyboard Sync option is very unreliable. Some words have been synced but some others haven't.
Suggest what i can do to port my personal dictionary to the OP3 or for that matter in any device. What's the point of giving keyboard sync as an option if it doesn't work. Please let me know.
regards,
Shuvo
