Making Block Recognizer as my default Input Mode - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Anybody knows how to make Block Recognizer as my default Input Mode? Some of the applications make the Keyboard or Transcriber as the default input mode. Is there a way (e.g., registry entry) that I can override this input mode default? I don't usually use keyboard, letter recognizer or transcriber as my input means. I'm more at ease with the Block Recognizer. Help please

Try this...
Using a registry editor, search within HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID for key IsSIPInputMethod. Then, for each one found look at the parent CLSID and you should see a string value (Default) set to the name of the input method (e.g Keyboard, Letter Recogniser, etc.) Once you find the CLSID entry for the input you want, make a note of it - in your case the Block Recognizer. Then find registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip and edit the string value DefaultIm to have the CLSID you for Block Recognizer.

Thanks dcs! , your instruction works...My registry editor acted weird...I wasn't able to do a search on key, value or data...I had to do the searching manually...good thing u gave a good and clear instruction. My registry editor is RedEditCe v1.2
I'll try to change registry editor utility

That's good
PHM do a free reg editor, I use the one bundled with Resco File Explorer - it is very good.

Aight, I'll try to look for it...Many thanks again!

and by the way, you look like Sean Connery in that pic hehe

you are not the first one to say that I can't see it myself lol.

dcs,
found the string to be edited but it just allows me to delete "9667" on the string and wont allow me to key in a new value e.g.9690 for letter recognizer.
please help
thanks

how to change default input method?

Keyboard is default on-screen input method but i'd like to change it to Phone Pad. i tried to change option in Settings -> Input Method but after switching off&on (soft reset) Keyboard is coming back as default. is there any way to change it?
PLEASE READ THE BELOW POSTS - THANK YOU!
Code:
for Changing the Default SIP
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP
"DefaulfIM" <- Change the value of this depends on SIP DestID(can be found in CLSID look for the Key with "IsSIPInputMethod" Subkey)
example: (Dont use this search for the SIP DestID in your device sometimes it differ in different device)
Keyboard -> {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Block Recognizer -> {42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Letter Recognizer -> {42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
Phone Pad -> {51A2CB38-154E-4C92-A625-A83871C99EC2}

ouch
Hi, i tried this (change default to transcriber) and it caused my xda mini s to hang on O2 boot screen requiring a hard reset. Any idea what i did wrong??
I'm afraid this hack is quite a bit of "at your own risk" - there have been many reports of users using either...
A. a non-existing ClassID (never use the ones given, always try to find the one that actually exists on your device)
B. a SIP that doesn't initialize properly when running in boot mode
Specifically, for Transcriber, you apparently can't do this. I'll remove it from my post, it was only quoting another wiki, but in the WM5_Tweaks_Other wiki the following is noted:
The |SIP ClassID| will depend on the SIP's ClassID, which may vary per-device. You can find the correct ClassID by searching for "IsSIPInputMethod" in HKCR, then going to the top key and checking the name of the SIP that's in the (Default) value.
Please note that this doesn't work with all SIPs. Transcriber/Calligrapher are two examples of this.
You can, however, set Transcriber as the default SIP by starting Transcriber.exe on startup. (This should be moved to, or added to, non-registry Tweaks page)
WARNING: Do not assume that the below ClassIDs would be -as found- on your device! Setting it to a non-existant SIP may prevent your device from booting up!

Try the SKTools it has a simple tweak for changing the default method.

Reg hack for Letter Recognizer?

Hi,
I need a reg hack to make the letter recogniser recommend more words without needing to install Easytweak or anything else. Id also like to know the tweak to set the default SIP.
reg hack is just too complicated for me (forgive me if i m too lazy to learn)..i install tweaks2k2.net to do this....

Auto word suggestion

My elfin auto suggest words when using keyboard on a black horzontal line above the keyboard. How can I switch to the original WM vertical list method? Is there a reg key to change?
Thanks!
I think thats build into your SIP.
Which means you cant change it, you can try googling it though.
I'd really like to get rid of that black bar as well.
Is there some way you can change the SIP?
A solution
Ok I found out how to do it and it just requires a couple of small registry changes.
Change the following entries under registry key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts
Ime File: compime.dll (compime.dll was in my Windows directory so I didn't need to copy it)
Layout Text: COMP IME
Soft reset and the old autocomplete that we all know and love is back, e.g. a small box with all the suggestions.

May not be as the keyboard is the standard WM keyboard, not the HTC one. Additionally, for some time, I managed to make the black bar go away and revert to the drop down list. But recently, I did a deep registry celarning using memmaid and somehow something was changed and it caused the blacj bar to appear again...
Wondering where in the Registry should I look for this....

00000409
Layout File kbdNopAll.dll
Layout Text US

Keyboard Layout 00000409
Layout Text eT9 IME
e0010804
Ime File xime.dll
Keyboard Layout 00000409
Layout Text Mobem IME
Which one should I change? Or do I creat a new entry? Thanks for your help!
--------------------
Found put that I should change e0010409 from eT9ime.dll to compime. Problem is that I can;t find this file on my elf.... continuing to look

Keyboard outputs only numbers

Hi all, i've installed this rom to a htc touch hd...
When i try to reply to a sms tapping in the white box and using the phone-like keyboard (that with 9 buttons), it outputs only numbers, and i have to close and reopen it to get it working properly... Any clue?
i have the same problem with all xannytech roms....
Use HD Tweak and disable T9 mode (think its No. 20.2 in HD Tweak).
But I want to use T9 ....
edit: tested and does not work on xannytech grid evo 1.7,it outputs only numbers...
i need to use T9 too..
Try this:
Go into the registry and ensure the following settings, then soft reset. (Remember to take note of the current values in case you need to go back.)
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409
Layout Text to "eT9 IME"
Ime File to "\windows\eT9ime.dll"
HKCR\CLSID\{73AB106C-A726-484b-B610-BE3E1CF39821}
(Default) = "XT9"
(My entry for the last one is "Value not set" but then I don't use T9.)
I have the same settings and did not work...

Another user that had this problem also fixed it with these reg changes.
Ensure that the path to the ime.dll file is listed exactly as below and not as "\\windows\......." - this double "\\" instead of a single "\" was found to be the problem.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409
Layout Text to "eT9 IME"
Ime File to "\windows\eT9ime.dll"
There is a cab file here to automate the reg tweaks, so you may want to try that so that you get the entries correct.
It has also been suggested that installing custom T9 files can cause this problem.
