Hi there!
Just got my brand new Prophet (Qtek S200) and I already have a problem.
Everytime I try to uninstall any installed application there's a message stating that the application wasn't completely removed.
As it happens I always have to delete by hand all the registry entrys as well as the folders that were created during the instalation of said program (it happens with almost all!).
I've tried SK tools with no luck.
Anyone help!?
TIA
BTW: There's no problem with the SD card and this also happens when I try to Re-install or upgrade an application.
Hallo my Friend,
I have the same problem with my I-mate Jamin. This seems to be a kwown bug in some WM5 ROMs, like the Italian one installed on my device.
After a few e-mails the I-mate support team had to acknowledge that: the are selling a device with a faulty operating system.
The issue seems to have been fixed in the latest versions of WM5 (those based on the so-called AKU2), but alas, no Italian ROM is available for those versions.
I hope the situation is more rosy for Portuguese ROMs. No need to say that the behaviour of the I-mate support team was utterly deceptive to me.
Good luck! Andrea

Thanks for the heads up Elio, I've already replied on the other post.
I'll try to look around some more
...
This has hapened to me also with my Qtek S200 WWE.
But if I soft reset my device and once it boot's up (after quite some time :evil: ) I unistall whatever I need to uninstall, then it works just fine.
I have also noticed that by using "Freeup Ram" (part of SKTools) then I'm able to unistall without problems.
Best regards,
Rayan

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
I own an spv M3000 from Orange France and having trouble when I try to uninstall the application designed for WM5.
Trying to uninstall: "Unable to remove the software, do you want to remove it from the list ?" (or something like that).
Answering Yes, the software disapear from the list but the application files are not deleted on the SPV.
Do you have an idea why and how to bypass this strange thing ?
Thansk in advance.
Yes I have the same issue and still haven't find a solution...
I read that someone have bypassed this problem. He didn't accept to remove the program from the list, power off his device and uninstall again the software : it seems to work for him...
Try it maybe it could work for you :?:
Here is the thread I was talking about : http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=780277
Try SK Tools, I was testing it with author for WM5 and it seems now better.
Removed everything what missed before.
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!

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
The guys at :
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=19287&catid=45
have this file:
http://buzzdev.net/components/com_simpleboard/uploaded/files/Prophet_ext_rom_unlock.rar
- unpack
- copy it over to your device
- run it
This will make your ExtendedROM writable, NOT visible.
Use TotalCommander CE to display content of your ExtendedROM for now (by entering "\Extended_Rom")
Sometimes, files in ExtendedROM are marked as READONLY and you have to clear that bit.
Does anybody has a good description of each file present in the Extended_Rom and if we can delete it or not?????
After readin that whole thread it seems some say it works some say it does not.
Can anyone confirm it works with the latest Submitter Cingular Rom? I do not want to have to reinstall everything again
I just got things perfect from the last Hard Reset I did.
I tried it on my 2.08 Qtek rom. Does not work (YET as Buzz is still trying!)
This was merely a test version btw.
I flashed my Qtek s200 with the lastest dopod rom (from the ftp page) then did a soft reset just before customisation begins (preventing the extrom files from loading - I don't use MMS or smartdialing).
Copy buzznet's prophet extrom exe onto your device and run it (You should get a little popup saying "success"). I can't view the extrom files and the memory settings are still the same but my system runs a lot faster and I've gone from having to do a soft reset almost twice a day to once every 5 or 6 days!! (I run a large program thats eats up RAM).
It seems so much more stable, reponsive and quicker
Hope this helps......

This is why this stuff gets dangerous. The s200 is not the same as the Wizard from what I understand. Folks read things like this in what is a Wizard specific forum and think it's really working. On the buzzdev forums they seem to say it works on Prophet based devices and not on wizards.
That is why I asked here on a wizard specific forum about anyone having success.
From Bootloader / ROM structure perpective the Prophet and Wizard are said to be similar.
Buzz has developed his tool without any of these devices so hes still in a test phase.
Worked For me
with the last RRU Qtek IPL 2.15 Radio 2.30

XDA II
Hi guys
I tried it but it gives me message that it is not a valied Pocket PC application
the ExtROM version is 2.06 from PDAMobiz.com
Just got a Vario II yesterday.
Whenever I try to install any software (by tapping on .CAB files which I have copied to the device), I get "This software is from an unknown publisher ... Do you want to continue?" I answer "Yes", but immediately get "Installation of <software> was unsuccessful."
It's all software (Batti, PocketBreeze, DockWare, RegEdit, etc) which works fine on my XDA Exec (HTC Universal).
Any ideas?

This won't help you much but pocket breeze for example definately does go onto hermes. Sleuth has a patch that can tweak registry to remove the Unknown Publisher warning (might only work on cingular network - not sure). Doubt anyway that that would solve problem.
At least your thread is temporarily at least back to the top!

philip, search for application unlocking, i guess this is the problem you're having. Can you tell your rom version?

Thanks for the suggestions - I read the thread about Application Unlocking, but it seemed an unnecessarily complex procedure to have to go through (I'm used to WM5, and have had a XDA2, XDA IIi and XDA Exec, so I'm fairly well experienced in loading software to HTC devices).
My ROM version is 1.21.110.3 dated 06/19/06.
For what it's worth, doing a Hard Reset seems to have solved the problem and I can now install software. Hmmm.
Now I'm off to do another Hard Reset followed by an immediate Soft Reset to get rid of the T-Mobile stuff.
