Help No dictionary for default keyboard?

Yes. You use another keyboard.

Try one of these:
a). TouchPal (comes with phone - long press in an input area and select your input method. that's how you change between multiple keyboards that are loaded)
b). Swype Beta (Google Swype Beta - it's free)
c). SwiftKey X (was once free on Amazon Appstore, now cheaper there then in the market)
d). Gingerbread Keyboard (or Keyboard from Android 2.3)

I've tried (b) and (c) and like both very much.

I know how to switch everything, but thanks for covering the corners, I'm all rooted and custom recover-..ied lmao I like the stock keyboard, but i'll go for the gingerbread keyboard
 
You can go through the steps there and get the stock keyboard working but give Gingerbread keyboard a try. It's nearly the same but works and works well. I gave up on the stock as Gingerbread is very nice. I also use Swype

I personally like B the most, tried the others, but the one that works for me is B. that way you have dictionary, but if you want to type odd words/brand names, you just select the far left option in the word list, else usually it doesn't bug you about a different word. it learns as you go. I had mine long enough that i can commonly just hit the first 3 letters of a word and hit space.

Every person has their own keybhoards. I use to love swype, but personally for my own self, i found Touchpal faster due to predict.
