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

First of all the correct unlock utility can be found on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796
The next most important thing is to know how to do a hard reset, you hold the "Communication Manager" and "Voice Speed Dial" buttons while pressing in the soft reset button(that is the small button next to the IR port), make sure to keep holding the two buttons after you press the soft reset. Then a screen will apear to have you hit the green call button to make sure you want to reset. This will format your user info and make you peform the startup tests again.
If you want to load an english rom, I suggest the Qtek one since it is very easy and all the software runs on the computer instead of needing to load files on to a SD card or the wizard. The whole application can be found here:
http://www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam/
The link to the file is at the bottom of the page in the last blog. You will need to have Active Sync 4.1 for this phone and it will have to be working for this application to work.
Have fun everyone and I think this forum is great.

On the WM Team Blog they address the reaction to the nearly worthless battery icon replacing the clock. Good news is that ROMs using AKU2.2 and later will allow you to add the clock back in, bad news is that the current JasJar ROM (1.30.76) doesn't seem to have the 2.2 release of AKU.
Can people with other carrier's ROMs check to see if the registry edit they provide works with your ROM?
The egistry edit is to add a DWORD titled ShowTitleBarClock with the value of 1 in the HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell location.
Didn't work for me
Doesn't work in the latest dopod rom 1.30.111 either...
The message on the MS site is from yesterday, and the guy is speaking of a "further release", i think AKU 2.2 don't exist yet
btw: isn't working on my wizard too
AKU 2.2.1 exists...
this is the nessesery file, you need to replace the existing one with this one (windows directory)
and add
[HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1
this is only for AKU 2.0!
!!!Attention: Make a backup and read through this tropic!!!
Problems with Universal roms!!!!
Perhaps related to the certification. Plz someone with removed certification try this... and post the results.
RE
The shell32.exe file in my QTEK 9000 is located in ROM something which you cannot copy out.
Does a soft reset reverts back to original battery icon if I'll to replace with the attached shell32.exe file?
After the battery icon is replaced by the clock icon, can I add a date to it also using any known method to put a date on top of the clock?
I believe a hard reset will definitely reverts back to the original battery icon, right?
Thanks
only a hard reset reverts back to the original.
add a date: I think so... not tested, but it should work.
I have a special rom where it is possible to overwrite system files, but It could be difficult to replase shell32.exe on a normal rom and I cant make a cab, because I dont know how to sign that.
plz someone with the knowledge about that make a cab.
don't bother, because even if you replace the shell32.dll, it wont restart, displaying the keyboard and getting stuck there.
You will have to hard reset and restore from a backup to get back your device.
A word of warning - back up before trying this. It hosed my universal. It would not even finish booting, and I had to hard reset.
Surur
Ok, I realy sorry.
It works for me...
Himalaya (rom based on 2.00a)
On my ROM (Qtek latest) in \Shell\Taskbar there's a regkey LimitedClock set to 1. If I set that to 0, the clock will at least display everywhere except Today, both in landscape and portrait modes. With it set to 0 as per standard, the clock only shows up while in apps *and* landscape, apps/portrait it doesn't. As long as the Today screen time&date plugin is switched on, this means you've always got the clock. BTW, needs a softreset to activate, Taskbar settings apparently are only read on first startup.

I'm sure you realise this is a universal forum? You should edit your post to remove your file before somebody else zaps it's unit.
I dont think so, because the os is the same.
My rom is not realy Himalaya, it is a ported wizard os and only the drivers of Himalaya.
So the file should work on all WM5 devices, perhaps the problem is related to the removed certification on Him 2.0 rom's.
(This file is from an Atom rom not Himalaya)
But you are right, I edited the post.
Disablesecurity.cab, replace shell32.exe with new, softreset
Hangs at boot with the soft keyboard superimposed over the boot screen. Hard reset to fix.
Basically, avoid this for a while.
......or use Wisbar Advance 2 and you have your clock back on the Today screen....
Cheers

You can access that feature simply by going to the date/time settings and enabling "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs" on the |More| tab.
O2 xda Atom have AKU2.2.1 and it really works no more battery icon.

Hello,
It is my first post on this forum.
Yesterday, I unlocked my frensh SPVM3000 (Wizard) and tried to replace my "shell32.exe" by the "shell32.exe" downloadable on this post.
It was a BAD idea! My SPV starting crashed because it was for Universal smartphone. I used the button sequence to re-install the original software.
Have you an address where I can download the "shell32.exe" of the Wizard AKU 2.2 software?
Thanks for your help.
Seb...
does anyone knows how to get hebrew on the wisard please?
How do you mean - hebrew rom or hebrew font?
just so i can browse my ie and read herrew sites.thanks.
Try putting this hebrew font in windows\fonts on your device (after unzipping it), then soft reset. Dont know whether it will work, cant see any registry hack that can change pie font in that way.
thanks, but it didnt work.

Do you still have it?
thnxs

Un Acessable to Start Menu,,,
This shell is making to enable to access English Start Menu..
So,, i uploaded wring one, or, your device is not English Device.
pls let me know what OS language you using?
and,, you can deltete it with conect PC and use PC Explore and rename it,

thnxs asukal.
I have a french ROM.

thank you very much for your help and your files.
Do you think this file can revert hebrew?
http://www.jewishcontent.org/pda/pocket-pc/arm/ReverseHebrew.exe
The problem is not from right to left. It is a mirroring problem
The correct hebrew looks like on the right end image.
Your hebrew looks like letters are backwards.
Take a look a the START text or at the left bottom of the screen you will see what i mean.

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
Hi,
I have SIP change installed on my HTC Touch. But when restart my phone there's comes a messaging like: "The file "sipchange" can not opened. It is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of the components isn't found. You must this file install again or recover if this problem repeated". I have installed it a few times again, but no result. Does anyone know what te problem is?
Thank you
When dealing with complex issues.
The best is to hard reset it.
I have this problem previously and hard reset does it.
PS: Backup before hard reset.
No, it was my rom That program is for an English rom. I'm from the Netherlands so my rom is Netherlands too. The path to the *.exe is different between English and Netherlands. Because it is an other languages.
Oh.
Is it a language pack or something?
You're inputing other languages into the phone right?
My rom is dutch. The program Sip change is a program to change my default keyboard. If i do a soft reset, then cames my standard keyboard back. With sip change you can change that keyboard to an another keyboard like PocketCM.
This program starts directly after starting up my mobile. But he can't find the program self in /Program files/Sipchange/sipchange.exe. In dutch, this path isn't te same as English. Because it is a different language. That's why he can't find the .exe. But now it's over because i know what te problem was
Srry if you don't understand me te last post I tried to speak so good as possible english
Its okay.
Thanks for sharing that to me.
Cheers.
