Downloading/adding additional dictionaries?

I know this is a very noobish question, so In advance: please do pardon me :D

I love this ROM, but one tiny thing which annoys me just a wee little bit everyday is the Gingerbread keyboard. It's awesome for most part, especially when using English.

When you however do need other dictionaries, it seems like you can chose between those already in the list in input languages, and if you "enable" some of those which doesn't have "Dictionary available" written underneath them, all you get from your keyboard are suggestions based on names in your contacts.

I know I can download a Gingerbread keyboard-package from the market which looks almost exactly the same (except it's not themed) which has a very similar looking input language selector, but chosing languages here takes you to the Android market to actually download those dictionaries.

Once downloaded and installed, they work with the downloaded Gingerbread keyboard, but the stock Android/Gingerbread keyboard still doesn't see them.

I could (and can) live with the additional keyboard and it not being themed, but now all of a sudden I have two keyboards installed and what used to be a fairly tidy on-screen keyboard now has an additional keyboard-options button crammed into the lower row. For a already busy Scandinavian keyboard with extra keys (ÆØÅ) it does get a little impractical. Especially for some inputs (like email) where I expect to see @ on the lower row, there's no longer any room for it, and I have to go to the symbol-keyboard first.

I can produce screenshots later if someone is genuinely interested. Like I said: Not a very annoying thing, but it's one of those small ones which you have a little of all day ;)

Is there any way to fix this? Is there any way to get additional dictionaries into the base Gingerbread keyboard? I see this has been registered as an issue on the official list. For almost a year.

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority

Seeing that this hasn't been prioritized all this time, I'm guessing it will still take some time. Is there really no workarounds, besides installing additional keyboards?

..if this has been answered before - i apologize in advance... naaah... im female .. we never apologize ;)

can someone please tell me by nightly do we literally mean an update each night? or am I having a blonde moment and the updates come along when they are ready - and not "nightly" ?

is it worth updating each one , or is it like other ROMS where you wait a bit -let other people be the guinea pigs ;)... and when their phones dont fail - you update?

Im new to CM7 world - love it !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
They are semi-nightly. Usually around one or two per week. Typically bugfixes and improvements. I apply everyone and so far I'm happy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bess833:
From another thread:

This is the way it was(is?) on official mainline CM supported devices. It is not like this on our SGS builds, but the name just stuck I guess.

The updates come when the devs feel like they are ready and they are highly recommended to flash if you are already running CM7.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
They appear every few days, though I imagine they drop more often at times. They are called Dailies anyway since calling them "Everyfewdailies" just sounds dumb.

I believe it is a good idea to install them each though it won't hurt if you skip a few. Usually each Daily builds on the one previously, so if you install the latest you will pick up any good stuff you missed. However I never install them immediately. I let them sit and stew for a few hours since I know that there are plenty of my fellow CM7 users who will rush right in and then post things like "THIS UPDATE IS MAKE MY LIFE COMPLLEEETTEEEEEEDDDDD THANK U!!!!" if it is good or "OMG MY FONE HE EKSPLODE AND WIFI MAKE SICK NOISE LIKE SNAKE" if it is not. Once the former outweigh the latter by 4 to 1 or so, I install it. Besides the devs here are very good and if there is a major problem with an update they will catch it and fix it quite quickly. They use the early adopters the same way as I do...as canaries in the Android coalmine.

I have no problem using my fellow geeks as guinea pigs. Unashamed, that's me.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josteink:
Lets just say I'm a smoker, use the phone quite a bit and typically fool around with the phone during smoke-breaks. And there is no way I could get trough the day without having a charger at work.

While that was true for Samsung firmwares as well, it seems little bit more so with CM7. It's not a problem to me though, as I already have the charger here ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
To be honest I get about the same battery life on cm7 as I did on the Samsung ROMs. I can sometimes make it through a full day but I seldom try thanks to a charger at my desk.

You see some people smoke, while I log into XDA to crack wise. Nasty habits the both of them....and very bad for batteries.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobydeek:
Since the Gingerbread bootloader was supported for CM7, there's been a lot of talk about Froyo v Gingerbread Bootloaders affecting battery life. Supposedly the Gingerbread bootloaders would increase your battery life.

As far as I know, the bootloader runs once when the device is turned on to tell the device what OS (ROM is this case?) to run.

From this, how can it be possible that a bootloader affects battery life significantly? Especially since it only runs on turning on the device.

Are these people just "making things up" ? Is there any logical reason as to how battery life may be affected?

I'm currently on the Froyo bootloader.

Thanks to anyone who can answer this! :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Just as the BIOS on your PC loads in the initial drivers on start up, the bootloaders load in the kernel and other hardware interaction elements. The gb bootloaders tend to make certain key elements of your phone interact better, especially when your phone goes into or comes out of idle. Greater efficency means less power is used, and apps are less likely to keep running when they shouldn't be.

Some people claim great battery improvements with gb bootloaders, others say they see no gain at all. Personally I advise people to feel free to stick with the bootloaders they have when they install cm7, but to change them if they wish. Each phone is individual and your mileage may vary.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobydeek:
Thanks rschenck.

tried all of the way before i posted on the forum.

what i did after is do a backup. i after formated data and reinstaled the nightly,it booted finally. i went back to recovery and restored data only and it didn't work,was back at the cm7 android boot logo and was stuck there. so i guess something got corrupted in the data.i hope it's not the led notification that is messing it up because my leds where on when i went to check my phone for a text message that i had received a minute before.

No it doesn't happen often (it's the third time in a lot of months). I left the USB debugging flash checked, and tomorrow will activate wifi and data connection, just in case it happens again, in order to try to get a logcat and kmsg with adb.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rain_1:
I'm going to repost this issue i've had since July, and I have yet to find any solutions for it, so bear with me:

Hi there. I've been having some non-critical issues with the 2g/3g widget, and I hope this is the correct place to talk about it.

So, back on the 20's version of the GalaxyS compatible Nightly, the 2G/3G Widget was enabled, but non-working. As a new CyanogenMod user, I left it enabled on the Notification Bar, as I hoped the problem would be easily fixable.

A couple of weeks after using Cyanogen for a while and feeling comfortable with it, I decided to update to the latest nightly. After a couple days, I clicked the 2G/3G Widget, which made the phone go into a Force Close loop (which didn't happen before). Trying to fix the issue, at the time, I updated to the latest Nightly. It didn't resolve the issue.

Doing a little research, I found out about this ticket on the Google Code database: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmo...on Model Network Owner Summary Stars Priority

Long story short, Resetting the SQL entry about a Prefered Network would fix the Force Close issue. The script provided by the ticket issue also removed the 2G/3G widget from the notification bar, so the issue wouldn't rise again.

I ran it and yes, it fixed the issue. Not only that, the 2G/3G widget was gone from the notification bar. After going through CyanogemMod Settings and adding a couple extra widgets, the 2G/3G widget was back on the Notification Bar. I went back to the settings and found the "Widget Buttons" selection screen like this:

The option is grayed out (as in, I can't enable or disable it), yet it's marked as enabled. I figure that's why the 2G/3G widget is always present on my notification bar.

I don't know if this is a side effect of the script I ran to "revive" my phone from the Force Close Loop (which doesn't seem likely) or the CyanogenMod version I installed disbled the option, but since it was enabled, it's stuck that way.

I though the recent "SamsungRIL: Fix 2G/3G toggle widget (android_frameworks_base)" fix would somehow resolve this issue for me, but it's still the same scenario.

I've combed through some of the SQL entries, but couldn't find anything regarding this specific setting. Anybody has any idea what could be done?

Keep up the great work. Thanks to CyanogenMod I can actually use my phone.

Guides say to not restore data using TB. Why is that? Moving to CM7 means I start completely fresh with just apps and no data? Because that sucks hard.

Also, is there a way to save contacts including all the associations I made? What I mean is the links between google and facebook accounts, etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Restoring data with TB always has a chance to cause fcs, therefore you are advised against it. Only restore data for those apps where it is absolutely essential (they are fewer then you think) and NEVER for system apps.

Best way to save contacts it to save and restore them to gmail.

Harder way:

Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

Do a Nandroid backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

and one more question

before few months i saw this thread

by dialing some code in dialer

is it necessary to do such thing??
