How to change Sym-button's character order

In www.qtek.fi there is some kind of script/program to change Universal's sym-button's character order. Unfortunately to download it you need Qtek 9000's IMEI (I have I-mate Jasjar).
Does someone here to know where these character arrays are stored and how to change the order so that 'ä' would be first character when 'sym' is pressed after 'a' (default is 4th press) and 'ö' first ch after 'o' (default is 5th press)?
Thanks in advance,
Antti R.

Hello araappa,
you have to edit the file "sym.txt" in your \windows folder. There you can change and/or add any character.
Greetings,
Hulzer

Thanks for your reply Hulzer,
After your answer it actually comes to my mind, that I earlierly did find that file, but I could not edit it since it's located in ROM. That makes the situation very same as in my other post concerning how to change voicbeep.wav file.
So the files are in \windows folder and are rom-files. But where are they, in extended or some other rom section (I'm not familiar with JJs memory structure), and which tool/unlocker I should use to get full access to these files?
Best regards, Antti

Hi,
I didn't change or unlock something with the ROM.
1. Copy the file to your desktop pc
2. Make your changes
3. Copy it back to your device
The file will be mirrored - you cannot overwrite it on your device directly. You have to copy it before. The origin file remains. But the new one will be stored in RAM. This one will be used.
For me it works fine!
Just try it like me.

character order
Hi!
I'm having the same problem although I've got a Samsung SGH-I750 with 2003SE.
I changed the sym.txt but nothing happened. I want to enter text with the phone's keypad but there is a lot of "unwanted" characters for example on button "2" like: à, å, æ, ç, ä
I've heard about changing the HKLM/T9InputMethod, but there is no directory like this.
Thanks for help

New edition:CeleDial 1.6 - The Best Dialing Helper for Pocket PC Pbone

This is a very usefull software for PPC phone. The writer issued a new edition just now.
Now, CeleDial utility, the best dialing helper for PPC Phone, support English UI without fully support (no English help, also).
To support other languages, e.g. French, you need an extrenal mapping table for your French Name. Just do that to enable External Mapping Table:
1. Create a Unicode text file named CeleDial.txt.
2. Fill the French Characters to Alpha Characters mapping line by line:
a àâä
e éèêê
......
and so on.
3. Put this text file into CeleDial's Folder (e.g. \Program Files\CeleDial\CeleDial.txt)
4. Reboot your device to enable the external mapping table.
5. Send your mapping table to me, if possible

I meant "I cannot FIND"
thx for your help.

Here you have version 1.6.668.2458 that I made english.
For WM2003(se)
Copy the celedial.dll and celedial.htm to \windows.
Edit the regitry:
[HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone]
DialpadDll="celedial.dll"
DialpadWndPrc=dword:00000099
I don't know the registry entries for Wm5/6.
Cheers

Oops forgot the zip file
Cheers

thanks man !!!!
my problem is that when using on HTC Touch then Celedial overwrites graphically the backspace button so I cannot delete entered numbers.

Google for "celedial touch" and find this:

This version will probably work OK on Htc Touch
CeleDial.1.6.722 (not completely translated though since I cannot test it)
Cheers

hi tweakradje thank you so much but at the zip there is only a html and a DLL-file. what to do with that?

I really like celedial so far (just testing)
Is there any posibillity to skin the white window? The app is great but looks very ugly.
Are there skins available jet? Or can I create some on my own?

Bypassing Extended ROM then manually installing .CABs

Hi, ive been trying to customise my extended ROM using the guides layed out in this forum however, most of the files i need to do this i cannot download as for some reason any .zip or .rar files over 15Mb's or so end up corrupt but anyway.
I found a guide on how to bypass the extended ROM (hard reset device, soft reset before the Extended ROM begins to install) then install the various cab files manually using Total Commander from here: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
however, when i do the above and then run total commander i am unable to locate the "\Extended_ROM\" directory with the cab files. Any suggestions? im running a:-
qtek2020i on vodafone
ROM Version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.03.00
Protocol Version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.11.142 WWE (obviously this part doesnt appear at the moment =]
Probably a silly questions and i have tried searching for the info to no avail.
cheers
EDIT. i also do not have "hide files in ROM" selected

Any ideas anyone i have followed every directive there is and i cannot get the extended rom to appear, why?
if i run total commander and type in \\EXTENDED_ROM or even \EXTENDED_ROM (even written it as Extended_ROM; extended_rom etc) yet nothing appears.
I tested it for other folders ie storage and once "storage" had been typed into the address bar it takes me to that directory. so would that then suggest my extended rom is else where? i have searched for files over 60kb's, files with .cab extensions, "hidden" and "unhidden" ROM files and im lost. Sorry folks but its not a matter of being lazy or being retarded and it had an extended rom in the first place so wtf is going on?

To view the Extended ROM, just install TOTAL COMMANDER for PPC
Then in the address bar, put : "\\EXTENDED_ROM" (without the quotes)
Then you will see the contents of extended ROM.
If you want, you can copy the contents of the Extended to your SD card instead so you don't have to connect to your PC.
To unlock your extended ROM (to change/delete/edit the stuff there) you need a certain file which is in the FTP under Uploads/Universal/Tools or something to that effect.
Hello Jorgee,
I've tried to install Total Commander on my v1640 but when I access \\EXTENDED_ROM nothing is shown...
What's missing?
Thanks

Jorge I found the mistake, \EXTENDED_ROM is with only one back slash and not with two.
Thank you very much for your help...

i guess i'll find another forum then =p

Have you tried CardExport software..

Is it possible to fix a mismatched keyboard without recookking keybddr.dll ??

Have any of you guys figured out how to fix a keyboard layout without having to recook a rom with the proper keybddr.dll file?
I have a T-mobile Wing, and we have the problem over in the herald forum where most of the best Rom's are made for the P4350 Herald... and the main problem is the keyboard layout being different.
Since that cook doesn't have an actual TMO Wing, he is building Rom's blind when he tries to port them over to the Wing from the P4350... so I dunno if there may be any other way of fixing this issue perhaps thru the registry or some alternative method.
Thanks.

It depends of what you have to change. if it is an entry in the registry, it is easy to do it manually or with a .reg file.
If you want to update a rom dll you can create a cab that will install them over the rom ones.

Merci mon pote!
So making a Cab will overwrite files that are "inaccessible". To my understanding, the keybddr.dll file is inside the Windows folder. I read some guy who deleted the keybddr.dll file for a herald in his windows folder and replaced it with the one for the Wing, and he said he Wing became completely unresponsive.
Would this problem occur if a cab file was made?
I found the file in \Windows\keybddr.dll, so could it be as simple as making a cab to delete the current one and write the new one followed by a soft reset?
Would you by any chance be able to make such a cab if I gave you the correct keybddr.dll file?

It the file is in the rom, you can not delete it, except by cooking a new rom. But I think that you can overwrite it with a cab, because I have some cab from O2 that overwrite some files of my rom.
The advantage of cab over cooking. if is easier, you can undo it, and if your system hang after installation you can do a hard reset.
I have never created a cab. I think that other people can help you better than me, or you can try by yourself. You will find tools. Probably I could help you in few months because it is something I would like to learn to do.

You dont really say what you want to change, but have you had a look at the symXXXX.txt (xxxx being four digits depending on what language you are using) file in \Windows? It contains the whole character set and configures what button corresponds to what character (each line is a button, the list of characters on each line is what you get when your press that button then symbol). It is a read only file in the rom that has to be exactly 496 bytes (at least on my Hermes) to work so my recommendation is to copy it to your computer, edit the file in notepad, then move it back to your device using Resco Explorer.
Btw, you can only change alphanumeric characters with this. If you have to move the Start Menu button you're out of luck.

The keybddr.dll file in the HERALD is different than that of the WING...
The better Rom's made that are compatible with the Wing, are actually Herald Roms, but there are some differences between the devices, and the most annoying issue is the keyboard problem... so I am trying to find a way to simply change the keybddr.dll file ... without having to actually recook the actual rom.
This is what "misha" posted in the Herald forum

I have been reading many threads at this forum about the WING issue with keyboard mapping for the ALT function symbols. It looks like several rows of key mappings are different between herald and wing.

I wonder if changing around the symbols that are miss mapped would fix the keyboard issue between wing and herald ROM……
One problem, I can not modify this file because under properties in (Total Commander) it stated that the file is Read Only and it is in ROM.
Any ideas how to modify this file?

Modify sym.txt

I can't modify my sym.txt file as it is in ROM and read only. I just installed a WWE WM6 rom and have a UK keypad layout in my Wizard and getting the wrong symbols is annoying. Anyone got a solution?

Download and use Total Commander to modify files and the registery. Use search and "keyboard layout" for more information. Here is one link about this issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317240

I found it, thanks for the help. I complately forgot about that registry setting.
