3. Location of Keyboard Database: Ubuntu Touch

Location of Keyboard Database: Ubuntu Touch

    Hi Folks,
    I'm trying to work on the prediction of the keyboard, locally. Right now, only one ebook is being used to teach Presage it's suggestions: the picture of dorian gray (as set up on GitHub).

    I'd like to include two more texts, and indicate them on lines 28 and 29 respectively, based on this src.pro: https://github.com/ubports/keyboard-component/blob/master/plugins/en/src/src.pro#L28
    But... I'm totally lost as to where to find the files on the UT phone, and how to edit the program. I know where things need to go, but I can't find the location they need to go and I don't know how to change the code.

    The two texts I want to add are both from Project Gutenberg: War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells [ http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/36/pg36.txt] for more grammar and vocabulary complexity, and the King James Bible [http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/10/pg10.txt] for English idioms and phrases as well as grammar and vocabulary diversity. It''s a test, but my hunch is that it will provide better text prediction than only The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde alone.

    Thanks!

    Could the path be found in this file?:
    /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpresage-data.list

    On my phone, the contents of that file is:
    /.
    /etc
    /etc/presage.xml
    /usr
    /usr/share
    /usr/share/presage
    /usr/share/presage/abbreviations_it.txt
    /usr/share/presage/presage.png
    /usr/share/presage/database_it.db
    /usr/share/presage/abbreviations_en.txt
    /usr/share/presage/database_en.db
    /usr/share/doc
    /usr/share/doc/libpresage-data
    /usr/share/doc/libpresage-data/changelog.Debian.gz
    /usr/share/doc/libpresage-data/copyright

    I see that in /usr/share/doc/libpresage-data/copyright, the book is listed as "resources/the_picture_of_dorian_gray.txt".

    Hey Tupp, thanks a ton.

    How did you get that list? When I plug my phone in, all I can browse/access is /home/phablet--and no hidden files. My phone is already in developer mode, and in read-write (using tweak tool).

    I've also tried poking around with adb shell, and navigating to a directory--but no hidden files are shown when I type ls.

    I'm kinda new--but I'm sure I can do something that allows my computer to browse my phone as root...

    Thanks!

    The txt files need to go into the same file as dorian gray... and I need to change how the program looks at them.

    I don't remember how I found that file. I think I did a web search for "ubuntu touch presage" and also, just "presage".

    What is the "tweak tool" to which you refer? I seek new ways (other than "sudo mount -o remount,rw /" in adb shell) to write to the "read-only" partition.

    By the way, none of the files that I mentioned are "hidden," and the adb shell alone should allow you read-only access to those files.

    @tupp Thanks!

    I found the files and tried to execute the text2ngram commands to append the new .txt files I wanted, but with nol luck. The phone adb shell told me that i couldn't execute text2ngram because I needed to install presage...

    But... presage is already installed on both the computer and on the device. Ugh... I don't know.
