how do edit udb file (custom dictionary) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I found this file:
/data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/udb
with all my custom words added to the htc.ime keyboard.
is there a simple way to edit ?
file attached
thanks

You don't have acces to /data/data/... on non rooted phones. You can only access your own package /data/data/com.your_application
You can use the UDM tool i made to import words in the custom user dictionary.
User Dictionary Manager for Android (UDM) is found at http://udm.adrianvintu.com

THANKS ! (yes it's caps)
I can't believe I couldn't find this app in the forum, I searched a lot.
I wrote you an email because I'm having some issue with it
nicola

Nicola has a little bit of a trouble with the UDM.
It seems it throws an exception. Here is the copy/paste:
03-17 19:56:35.135: ERROR/ActivityThread(868): Failed to find provider
info for user_dictionary
03-17 19:56:35.135: ERROR/UserDictManager(868): java.lang.NullPointerException
As you can see, the application and SYSTEM cannot find the user_dictionay. This should not happen. Every phone should have a user_dictionary. At least I though that.
There are some exceptions though. One of which being a rooted phone. If you root a phone, you may not have a user_dictionary because of some reasons:
A. the root image is incomplete, leaving out the user_dictionary
B. maybe the user did not reset to factory settings after rooting the phone.
C. ???
Ironically, the only link in google about this was right on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644512
So my best advice for Nicola is to reset to factory and if that does not work then reflash the ROM.
I am sorry there is no easier solution.
Thank you Nicola for your feedback,

my phone is rooted but I didn't flash any cooked rom, I just flashed a custom boot img. I think it's some kind of incompatibilty with sense ui.
Htc tattoo uses sense ui which uses htc_ime_keyboard with it's own dictionary
does your app work with this keyboard/dictionary ?
thanks

It should work with any official ROM.
Unfortunately I don't have an HTC, so I cannot test.
Best you try it youself - and maybe post the results here.
Thank you,

sense stores words in that udb file which is here
/data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/udb
I'll try to give this as path to import/export

Nononono
You export to the /sdcard. You export for backup. You export custom words for sharing with friends/phones.
You import a list of custom words from TXT files, then export them for backup or sharing.
This has nothing to do with /data/data/...
Unrooted phones don't even have access to that folder.
I think I need to write a tutorial on this
This application is supposed to be used like this:
1. build list of custom words in a TXT file
2. import the list - TXT
You will almost never have to use the export even!!! You can just share the TXT file.

this means that I can't access my custom words, added through the stock keyboard, right ?
would you have a look at the udb file I attached in the first post ?
EDIT: plus this is what I get when I try to add words through the edit/menu/add function
Code:
03-17 21:23:01.575: WARN/KeyCharacterMap(1071): Bad keycharmap - filesize=32

looks like htc sense and your cool won't work together
thanks

I don't know what the stock keyboard is.
You can access the words you manually add from your suggestion bar when writing an SMS for example - see website screenshot.
The file you attached is not compatible with UDM. UDM supports only sqlite and TXT files.
Please take a look at the screenshots on the webstite, http://udm.adrianvintu.com maybe they will give you some more info.

I just got some news from a tester. It seems HTC may be using another custom dictionary than the standard one.
I will have to look into that.
Until then, status of working on HTC: UNKNOWN
BR,

http://adrianvintu.com

hit me back whenever you need any kind of info/logs about htc dictionary

Would be great if you could do a test for me.
Steps:
1. install UDM
2. go to Edit and add a test word like: TESTESTEST
3. go to SMS screen
4. start writing TESTE and see if the TESTESTEST comes up in the suggestion bar.
5. let me know if the word appears in the suggestion bar

I already tried to add a word but it didn't work, have a look 2 post before this.

Ah, I see. I mised the EDIT.
So you get the same issue as Nicola.
Are you using any custom keyboard software?

nicola and chtamina: it's me ,)
custom keyboard sofware ? no, it's just the keyboard in sense ui that stores the file with custom words where I indicated in the first post

I have Sense UI and I got the same issues. The app is working fine, it says that it copied the custom dic. but when I type it doesn't show the custom words.

@dione could you check if you have a file here:
/data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/udb
thanks
that should contains your added words

@dione: the HTC Sense is a mess. It is ~very~ different from the other Androids. Will have to further see what exactly happens there.
What version of Android is on HTC Sense btw?

mine is android 1.6

Please stop shouting, you're hurting my ears! :wink: What you need is this:
LOCAL WORD COMPLETION AND SPELLING CHECKER
Code:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Spell Check]
"Main_Dict"="\'whatever location\mssp2_nl.lex" (dutch office 95+ lex file)
"User_Dict"="\'whatever location\user.dct" (will be done for you by OS)
Code:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip] (keyb input word completion in your language ;O)
"DictFile"="\whatever location\statdict.dat" (get a hold of one in your language)
"ProbFile"="\whatever location\dictprob.dat" (get a hold of one in your language)
Taken from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41442&highlight=dictfile
I tried to copy mssp2_it.lex into the atom.
I had to set off readonly.
Now I have 2 mssp2 files. One "_it" one "_ en"
Then I couldn't copy statdict.dat and dictprob.dat since they are hidden and I can't change this behavior
Any help?
I can't solve that problem
Thank You.
Copy them to for instance \Windows\Italy and let the registry entries reflect that. Don't try to copy them to \Windows, that will require a bit of fancy stuff that I wouldn't get into if I was you.
Thank You.
I was able to do that only with "mssp2_it.lex" successfully copyed in Windows directory.
But with many problems.
Noy the others files will not be copyed in any place since I receive a message those are "system" files
Do you know some file manager who can manage hidden files and properties of files on PPC? Freeware would be great

Thank You
I just downloaded it and I'll try tomorro since here is night.
Hope you can help me more since I feel I'll not able to do all the right settings.

Hello.
I copied all the file in Memory Card
I added the string

Thant does not exist as file this custom.dct
But nothing!
In the SIP Key the DictFile = statdic.dat even I have modified the path will return to "statdic.dat" when I rest instead of remain \Memory Card\ etc etc
Any help?

llbasha - Latest WM5 using AKU3.5 - with KitchenUtnsils

Read end of post for updates .. Thank you .......
====================================
WM2005 AKU3.5 by LLBASHA
ROM: 3.50pp16a1
dated: 02.02.2007
OS 5.1.195 (Build 15698.3.5.0)
RamDisk 48mb
PagePool 16mb
Storage 30.53mb
Program 61.29mb
For Himalaya PH10B (XDAii MDA2 Qtec2020 Imate Pocket PC)
=============================================
Hi everybody,
This is, I guess, what MANY, I believe, is looking for.
A good clean stable and fast WM5 rom based on AKU3.5 that you can change easily to your liking... right?
Well, your wishes come true. Here you will find my new ROM, the tools, and procedure to modify it!!!
It does NOT include ANY personal info.
It include clean original splash screen theme
It includes lots of Today-plug-in that you can disable if you do not want (disabled by default).
Modifications involve, beside adding & removing files, changes of hklm.reg, hkcu.reg, default.hv, and system initflashfiles.dat files. The ROM has been optimized to the extremes, hence if you decided you want to modify it please make sure what ever you add MUST be less or equal to what ever you delete.
It took me continuous 10 days of work and 8 flashes to get this procedure and ROM right.
I have tested the room and it works perfect ... however, please forgive me if I have overlooked something.
Note: I suggest you test the rom BEFORE you install any extra programs of your own ... and then again AFTER installation... so you can determine the source of the problem or the violating program, if any.
If you want to automate the installation of additional programs, stick the cabs file in the ExtROM directory in the SD-card and edit the config.txt accordingly.
To use the modification tools, just drop your favourit NK.NPF file in the RomEditor directory and click on steps 1 to 7 and follow the prompt.
It could not be easier ... Well, is it??? You will soon find out!!!!!!!!!!
Final word of thanks to tjlabais for his detailed tutorial, scripts and support. Many thanks to Mamaich for his incredible tools, as well as to Helmi_c, Buzz_lighter, Tofclock, and all those who contributed indirectly or in the past to get WM5 working on our Himalaya.

Dear llbasha
Please explain more:
In the text file "llbasha-WM5-AKU35pp16a1.txt
5. If you want to change the image/rom version (show on first splash screen bottom right corner), Go to address: 19, 82CDF, 1C1C18
search for old version and replace it with exact number of digits.
6. If you want to change the rom version and date that show when accessing device information from settings, search for the version in unicode, and the date stamp in ANSI.
7- Save your file and run 6ReassembleNPF.bat
[Correction is 7ReassembleNPF.bat]
And
In step no. 2
"When done, remove all HIDDEN attributes for ALL files.
Note: use Registery Workshop as editor for HKLM & HKCU even if nothing changed (not all rom modifications would require registery editing), i.e. open the file and save again irrespective)."

[UPD beta3] Microwave oven: TRANSLATE YOUR ROM - (for wizard only)

Hi ppl,
I've collected all the tools I use to translate roms from our chefs (God bless them). I don't want to steal anyone's work so the most of the credit should go to the creator of the tools I've packed, so all but Muiver, 2bytecut, Go.bat that were made by me.
It should be easy for everyone to make a translation following these steps (it's easier to do than to read ...):
1) Download and install windows PROFESSIONAL image in your language (source language) from here
2) Download your preferred foreign language (destination language) ROM (i.e. TNT or OCATIVOI or whatever ... )
3) copy the images over microwave dir, go to the command prompt and run GO "your language image file" "foreign language nbf file":
4) Let it run ... When Muiver opens up, set the right languages, pick your preferred options and hit GO.
MuiVer automatically looks for the right directories in the MS dump and copies it over the image that needs to be translated, modifying some files and making things you don't have to care about. At this stage you only have to choose, based on your (future) experience, what you want to copy and what not. The options are : Mui directories (OS), Other Mui files (OEMapplications), Other non MUI files (other language related files like staticdict); The more you copy, the most will be translated, more problem you may experience (missing texts, or applications that goes blank screen).
I suggest to always copy the MUI directories and experiment with other options.
5) You're nearly done only have to edit initflashfiles.dat according to your language. This file contains the localized name of some system directories and especially the start menu and start menu items names.
When wincmp opens up you will see two child windows: the left one is the file you have to edit, The right pane c0ntains the initflashfiles localized for your language. Edit the left one, according to what you can see in the right one and then "save source" from File menu. Take big care to the name of the "startup" dir (i.e. in italian it must be changed in "Esecuzione automatica") otherwise your rom won't start the customization (no screen alignment, no initial settings .. etc etc..). I suggest not to change the name of the links in the appbutton section however.
6) When nb2nbf opens up, set everything like always (look at the picture) and hit "translate" button
Flash your new translated rom (tools included)
It's a beta, just test .. I am quite happy with it. I'll update the script to run with other devices.
DOWNLOAD links beta3:
Rapidshare Download link
Mediafire Download link
Fixed beta3:
- Added a new tool to speed up initflashfiles.dat editing
Fixed beta2:
- Before flashing move or delete manually the file nk-old.nbf or the Updater could reflash that one in place of the translated one
it is good post, even in microwave oven cooked!
I think it doesn't work with ROMs that is >= 5.2.1620 because the shellresapps.dll.xxx.mui is incompatible with older versions?

If it's true, then remove the directory from dump.src dir before hitting "go" on muiver ... I'll check for it and handle the case in next version.

New tests shows that a very little number of .mui files (out of .mui dirs) are compatible with our WM6 releases ... for safe translations, do not copy them at all (MuiVer->File->options->Other Mui Files -> ignore all)
Hint: Take a look to the initFlashfiles.dat in the dump.src dir before editing the new one.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but is not working for me... That's what i did:
Downloaded from MS my localized image and installed it (I don't have the emulator installed, just the image).
Already downloaded my english ROM (in my case, TNT 5.0)
Did the GO stuff in this way "GO <localized-Image> <TNT5-ROM>
Then flashed the resultant ROM and it is still in English...
... What I did wrong?
Could you please post a detailed explanation (if it is possible with printscreens) about this process?
Sorry but I'm a little dumb using this one...
Regards and keep on doing this great job!
@com_reg
Does it translate all content of the ROM, incl. OS and OEM applications?

It basically translate the OS and some HTC applications, but due to the high number of versions around, it is safe to only transalte the OS part. I've experienced problems with some HTC applications not displaying properly after translations. So you better make some tests excluding or not some files / dir from Muiver. I'll try to release a more flexible Muiver soon
@danny de w
Open a DOS prompt and type "GO <name of the MS image>.bin nk.nbf"
@cesarr4
Did you move your old nk.nbf in a different place ? The script renames it in nk-old.nbf but this is sometimes not enough: the update utility will still pick the old one in place of the new one. The easiest solution is to move the nk-old.nbf away from the microwave dir.
@JouSePo and ALL
I am at work right now and can't take pictures, I will do a better explanation with images when I'll be at home later. By now I can try to explaint it better by words:
During the process some applications will pop-up asking you to do something:
- the first one is the MuiVer, that automatically looks for the right directories in the MS dump and copies it over the image that needs to be translated, modifying some files and making thinghs you don't have to care about. At this stage you only have to choose, based on your (future) experience, what you want to copy and what not. The more you copy, the most will be translated, but you may experience more problem (missing texts, or applications that goes blank screen).
- The second application is a notepad instance, opened on your initFlashfiles.dat. This file contains the localized name of some system directories and especially the start menu. I suggest you to take a look to the initflashfiles present in the microwave\dump.src dir that is the localized version for your language and change the one in the notepad accordingly. The only part that REALLY NEED to be changed is the name of the "startup" dir (i.e. in italian it must be changed in "Esecuzione automatica") otherwise your rom won't start the customization (no screen alignment, no initial settings .. etc etc..)
- At this point the script will have built the nk.nb file that must be translated in a nk.nbf file in order to be flashed. This is done with the last program that opens up : nb2nbf. You will find a set of row in the middle of the screen, check the first checkbox in the first line and in the box on the right pick the nk.nb file from the microwave dir. On the same line choose OS in the combobox on the right and then just click on the text box on the left. A number will appear, it is all ok. Now click on translate and you're done.
Nice printscreens smogdragon!
Thanks!
I have a question:
Which .BIN file should I use? The installed file from Microsoft extracted the following .BIN files:
PPC_ESN.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_QVGA_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_SQUARE_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_VGA_SQUARE_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_VGA_VR.BIN
PPC_ESN_GSM_VR.BIN
All of them with same size... Which one should I use for my QTEK A9100 (Wizard)???
Thanks in advance!
In addition to my previous post, I'm getting the following error message when click on "GO" button at MUIVER program (see attachment).
What is going on? It doesn't happens when using Beta2 release.
@cesarr4
PPC_ESN_GSM_QVGA_VR.BIN is the best match with wizard's hardware.
As for the error, I've never seen that But I can see on the command prompt that you had a previous error "acces is denied". I would try to start clean, deleting dump and dump.src directories. Ah, be sure to have administration rights. Let me know
thanks for your prompt responses and your help.
I flashed the resultant rom to my Wizard and it is working fine but some issues arised with built-in apps. By example, the phone app doesn't start and built in software keyboard doesn't show up...
I was wondering if it is possible to extract the OS part from the MS image and pack it into a nk.nbf file and flash it (I mean, do not transkate a existing rom but using the OS inside the .bin file and flash it to the device)...
it is possible? what can be the side-effects doing that?
hello smogdragon
i tried using cmd and it work t for a little bit when i deed everything you said it say that it cant find this file cant find that file it cant find muiver nothing get recognized by cmd
but its all in the same dir and the image file too

Enhanced Notification Manager ?

Hi all,
has anyone tried this one already ?
Link
It seems to add some functionality to the Notification Manager (like turning on/off WiFi, for example). But I'm afraid it will not install, because we have the new Notification Manager already.
What do you say ?
Regards,
Marcos
Tried without success. Installation failed without any explanations.

Is there a solution for this?
I'd like to have it say "Battery" aswell...
I'd really like to see the battery word + icon on the notification manager to access its setting quickly (insted of settings tab - show all - system - battery...) any news or solution for the missing word? is it stable, and worth a try? please note that I have a touch pro 2.. thanks a lot for the info guys!
Works not on the MDA Vario V (T-Mobile branding)

Does Enhanced Notification Manager works with MS Shell 3.0?
Cos I disable the TF3D and runing MS shell 3.0. When i installed this Enchanced Notification, nothing happens

Yes, there is a way to add the "Battery" string in front, but it requires you to edit a MUI file.
Let me explain:
When you install the distributed cab file it installs on your device various graphic files, plus 2 MUI files. These MUI files are for WWE devices. If your device is set to use other language as default (like mine which is set to work with Greek) then these two MUI files will be installed on your system, but they will be ignored, and the ENM will take it's strings from the original MUI that won't be overwritten by the installation.
There are two ways to get the "Battery" string showing.
The first way is to replace the original MUI files of NM with the new ones that the cab installs. This method arises another problem though: If you do so, the entire NM will be shown in WWE and NOT on your language. This means that you'll get the "Battery" string but all the other strings will be in English and not your language (e.g. Greek)
The second way is a little more tricky, but it has guaranteed results:
You just edit the original MUI file of your device to add the "Battery" string!
Since editing MUI files is tricky I'll post a quick guide on how to do it, but you may need to Google for it to get more details.
Everything will be done on your PC. You will need the following:
1. A MUI unsigner - Signer
2. A Resource Editor
3. The MUI file
I wish I had kept the links, but I only have the apps, so I can't tell you from where to get these apps. The MUI unsigner-signer I get it from these very forums (XDA). Use search to find it. For a resource editor I used XN Resource Editor
The MUI file you will get it from your device. Just browse your phone's Windows directory and copy NotificationManager.dll.XXXX.MUI file on your PC
The .XXXX.MUI part is actually the number of your language. For instance in my case I needed the NotificationManager.dll.0408.MUI which is the GREEK MUI file.
1.
Copy the MUI file on a short path on your PC, something like C:\Temp\MUI\
2.
Extract the MUI unSigner-Signer on the same path
3.
Run the MUI unsigner to unsign your MUI file
4.
Use the resource editor to edit the MUI file. Depending on the case you may need to add the string, or just edit it. We need to fill the string numbered 176.
If the string exists and it's empty just edit it to fill in the string of your desire. If it doesn't exists then create a new string and pay attention on the LANGUAGE selection upon the new string creation menu. It should be the same language as the rest strings on your file. Keep in mind that ALL resource editors will add 16 string in a row. That's normal, and it doesn't matter. Just use the create string command until you have a "176" value that you can edit. Once you edit the "176" String to say whatever you want it to say, save the file and exit Resource editor.
5.
Use MUI signer to sign your file
6.
Copy the modified MUI file somewhere on your device. Don't try to copy it directly on windows directory. The file is marked as "system" and windows won't let you overwrite it.
7.
Once you have copied the modified file on your device, use an application like Total Commander to do 2 tasks:
a. Backup the original file (by copying it somewhere) and
b. Replace the original file with the modified one.
8. Soft Reset your device and everything should be ok now!
PS:
By no way this is a complete guide on how to do it. It's just what I recall from the process I followed some time ago in order to do it myself.
Directions on how to use MUI unsigner-Signer you'll find on the thread that you'll get it.
PS2:
Be safe: KEEP A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL FILE FIRST!!!
PS3:
Have fun. If someone needs the Greek Translated MUI file PM me. I have also posted it on the ENM thread back at the time I created it...
EDIT: Here's the link of the Greek MUI file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4039484&postcount=125

[REF] Greek Document tab + Howto find manila file names for all language

Hi all
I am not a manila guru.. and this is my first dive in to the manila naming ocean...
I started this thread when some person that i asked for the filenames to have Greek language
in the documents tab he refuse to tell me EVEN the filenames.
So when i figure out how it works i deside to put together this Howto for other people.
This is a tutorial, a howto find the manila file names for the varius language,apps and tabs.
You will need
a) ManilaHASH.exe
b) Manilafiles.txt
Files are provided in the end of this post.
In his tutorial we will try to find the manila files and filenames to have the document tab in
Greek Language.
The same way works for any tab and any language...
So lets start.
The manila files that holds all the strings are the xml ones...
1. Open the manilafiles.txt in a text editor you will see lines like this one
5bb3a45f_manila \windows\htc\album\assets\images\btn_camera_press.qtc
The first part its the actual filename.(You will find that file in the windows folder)
The second one its a virtual path that refers to that filename.
(I dont know how and why they just are linked and the manilahash app use this to produce the
actual filenames.)
Lets find now the filenames for the document tab.
2. Search the Manilafiles.txt file for the string 'document' and when you find the first instance
scrool down to find the lines with the xml files
in our case the lines are :
35bfc9f0_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml
4e4ebb4e_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorer.en-us.xml
43326f20_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorerbrowse.en-us.xml
4db93f9f_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\documentexplorersettings.en-us.xml
1a93e5c6_manila \windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\expandeddocument.en-us.xml
The first part of those lines is the actual filename.
Those are the files that we need to find them in the \windows folder of the device and copy
them for editing. So find them and copy them from the device to your pc.
Before go to the next step, lest do a test now just to see how the manilahash.exe and the manila
naming works.
3. Open the manilahash.exe and copy and paste the "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml"
to the manila file path textbox.
Then press the "get manila" button ... you will get the 35bfc9f0_manila witch is refered in our text file.
The same goes for the others files... just check them.
4. Now lets go for the other language - the greek
In the filepath for the first file "\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\en-us\docicons.en-us.xml" change
the language code from en-us to el-gr the greek language code, and now the path string its like this :
"\windows\htc\docexplorer\locales\el-gr\docicons.el-gr.xml".
(Here you can find all the language codes to letters for each of the 2 parts, the Primary language and Sublanguage)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776294.aspx
5. Copy this to the manila file path textbox of manilahash.exe app and press getmanila to get the name
of the file for the greek language witch is this: 7139AFEE_manila.
So now copy the file 35bfc9f0_manila and rename it to 7139AFEE_manila.
Follow the same procedure for all the files.
The open the all files with a text editor and change the first line the string en-us to el-gr and save.
Transfer all the files to \windows folder of your device and after a softreset you will have greek (or any other lang
in the document tab.
The procedure is generaly the same for any other set of files or tabs... and for any language...
I dont now if the text file with the names covers all the manila files... i did some try and find attemps
and all the files where there.
If i can help you with your search just post the question here.
Thanks to metlwater, he was the first that answer my question about manila file names in the facebook tab
greek translation.
colossus

I just read this today, very useful! Any idea how this works for custom tabs?
Cheers for any pointers.
Hola Colossus ;-)
I know this thread isn´t "warm" anymore, but doing some research for "FullThemSwitch" witch CHTS (or manually ) I stumbled across this one
Guess we both encountered the same "attitude" when asking "certain" people for information , guess not everybody is into sharing knowledge - since information is power At last let me also congratulate you, because you actually "practice what you preach" Love your signature
I'd all but forgotten about this thread and there was no thankyou meter last time I posted. So, your thankyou meter just went up by one.
Without you I wouldn't have been able to find out which manila files to have translated, for those wanting other localisations of my ROM series.
Cheers again!
THX great work (ευχαριστω)

Thanks a lot my friend. May i ask you something - My documents tab <bar> at the top of the screen is empty without writing <Documents> (from the begining). Do you know perhaps how or what file makes it appears again? I have an HD2 with the latest Greek Rom.
Interesting informations, I think you are a manila guru!!
