Hiya All,
I'm trying to install Hebrew language extender on my Imate Jam rom 1.12
I'de a previous version installed which was fine, tried to uninstall and install a new version because of some minor problems which I though that will be solved in the newer version.
The problem is that during the installation, the install wizard tries to install tahoma and tahomabd fonts to the ppc device and fails in that operation.
The exact error message is "Can't copy C:\Windows\Fonts\\tahoma.ttf", yep with double "\\".
I've also tried to copy the original version which I'd but stayed with the same results.
Any opinion on how to solve this mistery ?
Thanks in advanced,
Bright Star
Sorry, I can't help you with that, but I can confirm that this software is very bad for your Magician.
I purchased the Danish version and ran it for some time. During that period I had a LOT of problems with the BT icon dissapearing.
I started noticing that after a hard reset, the icon was always there until I installed the Language Extender, and then it was gone! Sure enough, since I stopped using this program, my BT icon problems has nearly dissapeared.
So unless someone comes up with a better idea, all I can say is hard reset your Magician and don't use this crappy software again
Hi folks,
I made a "German Language Pack" (cab), which makes some german features available. See below
I am also working on a french version but I do nt have the french dictionary file for spell checking (mssp2_fr.lex) nor a french table for áà,... (sym.txt). If anyone could pm it to me I would be happy to update the language pack. Until then spell checking and symbols are as original only...
How-To:
1. download zip-file and unzip
2. copy cab-file to PPC
3. execute cab-file.
4. Softreset device
More information on the changes to registry and the included files are in the enclosed inf-file.
This tool was written for the Wizard device, but as the only Wizard-specific things are the settings for the hardkeyboard there shouldn't be any complications with other devices running WM5.
If anyone has suggestions for improving my little tool I would be pleased, if you could tell me!!
Hades.
new version with autocomplete feature added.
Still working on softkeyboard... - any suggestions?
hi hades,
does your little localizer work with the new aku2-roms? i have a himalaya aka xda2 with tofclock's 2.01a64wwe rom which is aku2. thanks for any info.
peter
i cannot report for any Himalaya images as using a Wizard (i-mate ROM 2.16). But the little tool does nothing system-critical. It only adds a view files and changes some registry settings, which are pointing to these files or concerning language settings. Therefore it should work with any WM5-device and -ROM, without interfering with any other abilities. I guess the settings concerning the hardkeyboard will just be ignored if the device does not have one.
For further information on all actions taken by the tool, please have a look at the enclosed inf file.
Hope that helped!
Hades.
transcriber doesn't work any more
I've just installed your french language pack on my Dopod with the latest Dopod rom 2.15.13.27 WWE and the transcriber doesn't work any more not in French neither in English. I get the message: Une erreur est survenue lors du chargement du moteur de reconnaissance de fichier.dll Vérifiez le chemin et la quantité de mémoire disponible.
I've followed your instructions and installed it successfully but I then got the message that the program was meant for an older version of WM and that maybe it would not work.
Is there a way to uninstall it without messing with the registry? My problem is worsened by the fact I can't manage a hard reset. I tried everything holding down the power button with the stylus in the small hole, sometimes also holding down the camera button at the same time, sometimes with the device turned on and sometimes turned off. No way, impossible to hard reset! Please help me, and thank you anyway for your work. I was very excited and I am now very disappointed.
yes it's a good idea
thanks
sorry 'bout that. I wasn't able to test the french language pack myself. I have overlooked the file and cannot imagine why it shouldn't work as it is similiar to the german one which is working quite well. Information on the changed registry settings are in the enclosed inf-file.
But anyway you should be able to uninstall it with the WM5 built-in uninstall feature (Settings --> System --> remove(?) programs). Perform a softreset thereafter by long pressing the standby-button (not digging the reset hole!)
To Hard reset your device you have to press and hold the comm and voicedial buttons simultanously, then press the reset button (small hole) with your pen, while still holding the other two buttons for a while, until finally you are questioned if you wan to completly delte your device. You have to confirm by pressing the green button. Make sure you have a bakup - I'd recommend SPB Backup.
Well, once again sorry.
Hades.
Thank you again for your kind answer. Actually I had to reflash my rom cause I couldn't do any hard reset. I was stupid not to think of removing the program first, since I didn't think it was a "regular" program. You mention the comm and voice dial buttons as two different buttons but actually on my Dopod it's only one button. Did you mean then the power and voice dial together, which coud make sense and which I didn't try cause nothing like it is mentioned in the user guide. Do you think I could have got the problem with your program because I used the stylus in the hole to soft reset my device after installing the french package. It is the procedure mentioned in the user guide for soft reset, contrary to what you tell me now. Thanks again
oh ok - I was assuming you have a HTC Wizard (don't know the dopod model number). If it's not a Wizard I have no idea how to hardreset it. But I hope you're using WM5, for my little utility is for WM5 only.
If you do a soft-reset after a change of the registry using the reset-hole the changed settings may not be stored on your device. That is because the registry-file is not immediatly updated after the changes, but stored in a temporary space and later (who knows when!) written to the file. So if you reset it by hardware-button the changes are still in the temporary space and therefore gone after the reset. If you do the reset by using software-reset function (provided by e.g. SPB Pocket+ or magicbutton) or simply switch off the device using the standby-button, the temporary space is written to disk before shutting down. That's it.
À bientôt,
Hades.
P.S.: I updated the language pack, cause I found a minor difference to the german one. (Compare inf-file) But I can't tell, that that was the problem.
My Dopod is a 818Pro with WM5, so it's a Prophet and practically the same as a Wizard, as I've seen in the forum. What you say about soft reset is very interesting since I haven't seen it discussed very often in this forum and i searched it quite thoroughly. Have you tried removing your program through the regular WM5 procedure? You seem to imply that the registry was not changed after my soft resetting with the hardware button, but it seems strange to me since after resetting I got the french warning I mentioned in my first post, and it was the first ever message in french from my english speaking device! Some change had definitely occured in the registry or somewhere else. Thanks again
well. I tried to remove and it worked. Concerning your registry I don't know wether it was changed or not. Depends on many things, I think.
Sorry,
Hades.
I've just installed the German package on my Himalaya device with English AKU 3.2. It works Thank you Hades!
hello Hades77
Actually i successfull changed hardware keyboard but also spellcheck, dictionnary (i think even T9 but i'm not using it) and special characters to french and it's compliant with 3.2 rom(thanks faria). As i can see you package does not include those feature yet ... Are you interrested in getting those files and including them into you cab ?
thanks a lot!
Hello hedes,
i just installed your german cab! it seems to work perfect on my phone.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS, IT MAKES LIFE EAYSIER WITH WRITING WITH AN ENGLISH ROM
Hi,
Is there an spanish version for TyTN?.

Hi , i was wondering if there is way (something like a tutorial) that I can build my own language pack?
I have a Wizzard (Qtek 9100) with the original QTEK rom (in Greek) and I am trying to fit Faria's 3.2 ROM in my PPC but i Need Greek Language pack . Is there any way you can help me with that?
thanks in advance
new ROM
I tried to install your german language cab, but it doesn´t work. I got the new ROM from Faria ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259).
Now i donn´t know how to go on.....
Thanks for help
After upgrading to the latest WWE rom, my phone pad does not use T9 anymore. I checked the manual to see if it was something simple like a setting got changed, but didn't find anything.
I assume the new rom still is supposed to have the T9 Phone pad?
I also cleared out the ext rom before a hard reset, so if it is a cab file for this, I may have deleted it in error
Anyone?
Hi all,
I flashed my swedish qtek 9100 with the latest ROM which worked like a charm, but when I installed the swedish keyboard fix from the ftp server to get my ÅÄÖ's back all buttons (including the keyboard) died. The only one that works is the powerbutton.
Is there anyone who knows if there is an easy way to get them to work again? I would rather not do a hard reset as I have a ton of programs installed on it.
regards.
Don't know if you can get it back without hard reset...
try uninstalling the thing you installed (guess its that old cab file that doesnt work with newer roms..)?
to get swedish characters on the keyboard, look here:

Thanks for the link.
Guess its time for yet another hard reset.
hi
yesterday i hardreseted my BA and since then i have not been able to change the softkeyboard to the german layout.
i changed the registry entry "layout" in HKLM\software\oem\querty to 132105 but even after about 40 softresets nothing changed.
whats especially strange is that pcmkeyboard though i chose the azerty/quertz layout is also querty.
is there anything i forgot? as far as i remember the registry trick worked fine last time.
(i am using sundreams wm6.1 rom)
thx
--fleity
no no no man!
you need to search download and isntall this:
1.- Netcompact frameworks v3 (or newer)
2.- Advanced Config v2 (or newer)
3.- Searching time
hope this works... cause advanced config change the keyboard to many other lang i use qwertz cause my keyboard is german.
Did you get the german keyboard somehow?
I still use the patch from ZakMcRofl, it switches the hardware keyboard to german and adds an additional German soft-keyboard. It would be better to have the standard keyboard switched to German, though, instead of adding an new one.
Whate ever you want
if this works for you FINE! if works better yours Fine TOO!
Keep the good support.
It works, but as I wrote it would be better to use the standard keyboard in german. Now I have two soft-keyboards: english and german. Is there a solution without installing the .Net v3?
i get an error when installing netcfv35.wmmarv4i.cab. do i have the wrong file?
the installation runs until the end and then the following error appears (of course in german... though my rom is in english):
Installationerror.
Shut down all tasks and processes, maximize the available storage and run the installation again. supportinformation: 3
after pressing ok the normal "you have to restart the device to complete installation. ok to restart, cancel to continue" message is displayed.
but netcf is not installed
i choose to install it on the device.
are there seperate version for different languages? link to english and german version?
when you set the hardware keyboard to another language, exit the registry editor, then turn off the device with the power button (not softreset, not hardreset) turn it back on and THEN softreset.
I did that a few hours back and it worked like a charm.
The Device first has to write the contents into the database, it is NOT immediately saved after you exit the Registry Editor.
I found that one out after I restored my Blue Angel to an older ROM after I tried WM6.5 by xplode.
My Messages went missing after I restored them and made a softreset.
When you restore something, or change something in the Registry, it gets saved in RAM, but not written until you set the device to sleep and wake it up again.
no sorry still the same problem.
i tried to change it to the french layout and even after sleep, turn on, softreset the reg value is really the one for the french layout but still its querty nothing else...
it's like the rom is using another registry value, no matter what i write in there nothing changes
