I was wondering if there were other Dutch / Belgian users who experiences problems with the dictionary while typing a sms.

English, French works fine in the CM7 mod but dutch / Belgian does'nt for me.

prior to the release CM7, I used the VillianRom (also gingerbread) and it worked perfectly

I got here by googling cuz I got the feeling something was up aswell.. There are just no words suggested as I type along.. Only names of people in my contactlist. Has this been resolved by now?

Kind regards

I second thath, would love a duthc dictionary so I can use the standard keyboard.

[doctormetal]

Yes I am surely missing the Dutch dictionary. Without completion I have to type entire word instead of just a few letters. Makes it a lot slower.

Following this thread I got it working :-) Although with the keyboard suggested there, I don't have haptic feedback anymore. But I got a dutch dictionary, so who cares? :-p

You can replace the LatinIME.apk in the /system/app directory with the one you can download from this Dropbox location.

Well, I tried that... but I replaced the file. Apperanty it didn't remove the old LatinIME.apk AND now I can't put the old or the new .apk file in my /system, because of "failed to copy '...LatinIME.apk' to '/system/app//LatinIME.apk': Out of memory"

What should I do now?
Remouting didn't help, I also tried:

Quote

rm -rf /system/app/LatinIME.apk

Can I run e2fsck or something? Or can I resize the /system?

Help me! I can't use my keyboard anymore....

UPDATE:
So, that went horribly wrong. My back-up was unrestorable, I can't place the new or old LatinIME.apk back on my device. The only solution was to reflash the ROM

I've managed to add Dutch to my Wildfire after flashing Cyanogenmod 7.1.
I googled around a bit but didn't find a proper guide, so I've just started fiddling around a bit until it worked.

What I found out is that VillainMod for the Desire contains most languages.

So what you do is:

• Download GingerVillain3.3.zip
  
• Open up the zip in Winrar/7Zip/whatever you prefer
  
• Navigate to GingerVillain3.3.zip\system\app
  
• Copy LatinIME.apk to a folder. I would recommend to the folder where you have ADB installed.
  
• Open up a command prompt
  
• Change directoy to the folder where ADB is installed
  
• adb remount
  
• adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk
  
• Reboot phone
  
• Enable dutch in your Keyboard Settings

It's worth mentioning I first tried copying LatinIME.apk to /system/app/ with root explorer and then installing it from there. This caused the keyboard to malfunction and crash.
The only way I got the apk to work is by pushing it with ADB.

You can Google around on guides on how to install ADB, takes about 5 minutes.
My other tip: the ADB drivers come with HTC Sync if you have a HTC Phone. So install that and retry if ADB can't find your device.

I can't seem to push the new LatinIME to my device... I keep getting the "Directory not empty" error, anything I'm doing wrong?

adb shell
mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
exit
adb push LatinIME.apk /system/app/LatinIME.apk

Thanks for posting those commands ntpckr, but it seems that there are missing steps to change the LatinIME.apk package.
It didn't work for me on my HTC Legend. I needed to push the LatinIME.apk file by writing the file name in small capitals, but that still didn't replace or add the Dutch dictionary after reboot.
Is there something missing on how to create the LatinIME.odex file ? Do we need to reset the cache after pushing the file?

[Ruben Coolen]

I just had to install the latinIME.apk file from the file manager, then reboot and it worked!

I installed multiple versions of LatinIME, but all break graphically in the Browser. Normally the keyboard has a black background. With the new APK, I do get the Dutch dictionary, but the keyboard background (between the keys) is white, as if an image was missing or something. Do you guys also have this behaviour? The funny thing is, in messaging applications like WhatsApp or the stock SMS app, the keyboard appears fine.

I also tried rolling my own, by adding the dictionary file to the stock LatinIME.apk file, but that does not seem to recognise that the file has been added.

I'm on release Cyanogenmod 7.1 on an HTC Legend.
