Qtec 2020 localization - Menu start problem

I'm working on Qtec 2020 polish localization. I'm using the Multilingual User Inteface technology: I've already made tools to produce MUI files and activate their usage on WinCE 4.2.
Almost everything works fine but when i translate string resources in shell32.exe that apply to
Start Menu -> Programs
Start Menu -> Settings
both element lose their icons and the settings element stops working (i get a blank screen)
I've tried some diferent scenarios i.e.:
- translating only the names Program and Settings
- translating the names and the path \Windows\Start Menu\Settings \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
but it didn't work....
I also doesn't see anything helpful in the device registry...
Thanks in advance for any help or hints

intellipad is no longer there? registry key required

anybody out there know where this line exist?

bump!
someone know the keys to enable or disable
the keyboards/ intellidailer xpad etc etc?

Destroying the registry so a given functionality dies, is not the same as enabling/disabling. I doubt these programs have simple on/off switches in the registry, so instead I suggest you reinstall them.
Set a browser such as the Resco Explorer to show files in ROM, then locate and execute the file loadvdisk.exe in the Windows folder. This will give you access to the Extended_ROM folder, located in root. From there you can reinstall what you want. Names of the files you will need are selfexplanatory, the rest you can find a description on here on forum, by using the search function.

Yes office word shows new font but I wanted to read web based mails in that font using pocket IE. Is there a way to do that? What plugin is needed for PIE so that it can use many fonts to display text?

I say YES!
but u need to change system font to achive this
First of all i suppose you want to install Segoe UI font as your default system font.
1. Copy segoeui related ttf files from your pc to your pocket pc in /windows/fonts/ directory.
2. Open registry editor (Resco Registry or PHM registry editor or total commander what ever)
3. Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SysFnt\ and here edit the value in Nm DWORD to Segoe UI (it might be Nina (in case of WM2002, 2003) or Tahoma (in case of WM2003SE, WM5/6/6.1). just dont care about any thing wrong )
Copy this Nm DWORD Value to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\POPFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BARFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\OOM\OOMFnt\
Overwrite if prompted
Now close registry editor. Stop all running programs from your task manager or from Memory control. Reboot your device. and then tell me if u get it working
thats it........
You r welcome in my inbox for help

Hmmm..That's interesting
Thanks dark_prince ;
I hope that way works good;
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
" Copy this Nm DWORD Value to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\POPFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BARFnt\
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\OOM\OOMFnt\ "
=
you mean to edit the value in Nm DWORD to Segoe UI (the same as HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SysFnt\ ) ?
Another thing, in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ there isn't System\OOM\OOMFnt\ .. but only System\OOM .
Best regards,
-Yasser-

well just find the OOMFnt key in HKLM. that wud be fine. Remember to put your font name as correct and Case sensitive

This does not solve my problem. I wan to keep "Tahoma" as my default font but I want my IE to read Tahoma and one more font which appears on my web mails. How can I do that?

just change the DWORD Nm Values to Tahoma and all would be fine
IMHO, WM2k3SE, 5, 6, 6.1 by default come with Tahoma
registry settings is for Default Windows Mobile Font. Rest fonts must be just put in to \Windows\Fonts\ Directory. Internet Explorer will pick them automatically if th website requires

use this application to change ur system font easily. this application will do the necessary changes in registry automatically.

1. I added Hindi fonts (mangal) to FONTS directory in window. still IE could not recognize those fonts.
2. I changed the system fonts as suggested above, then every character on phone became square square unreadble, except when I opened, I noticed that all message in english became unreadable whereas hindi fonts were readable.
This is not what we desire, I wanted system to remain same, using Tahoma fonts but IE to recognize Hindi fonts in addition to Tahoma fonts cause my web google mails contain english as well hindi messages.
Any help would be appreciated.

how to change font to default font,help me please.

[SOLVED] Display is missing from Settings -> System

Dear Members,
1. I have lost the icon to access display settings in my cooked roms. Meaning i cannot access the screen alignment or clear type settings. I have tried adding reg below as well:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,7]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Screen.png"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I cant access clear type settings from manila as well.
2. My HTC Recorder fails to appear in my start menu as well. I have set it to appear under "Multimedia" folder in app.dat. I have checked spelling and the lnk is present in the files folder.
In effort to solve this prob, i have checked initflashfiles.dat and searched all provxml files to see if something is deleting it (used ervius kitchen editor function to search for "Recorder" string under all files and appears to be ok)
Also, i have tried 2 different builds of SYS - both boots up properly but with same problem. Please advice what i could be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Details:
Base: TMOUS 2.13
SYS: 21903 / 21892
SOLUTION - Refer to post 3 by Braakie

nothing seems to be wrong... can you please post what are you using to change the registries.. i guess if you are not using UIA icons you will have some troubles.

1) In your \OEM\LEO\COMMON\OEMDrivers folder, there is a 21b6ed86-a505-4ad7-a4aa-b8bb93c926d9.rgu file with this registery entry, change it from 1 to 0:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
2) For the HTC Recorder, change your pad in the \OEM\LEO\0409\OEM_Lang_0409 initflashfiles.dat file, search for "VoiceRecorder", and change Tools to Multimedia:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia"):-File("Voice Recorder.lnk","\Windows\Recorder.lnk")
ps: This is the English translation, change it in your own language.

Thanks guys,
Will recheck the paths and spellings. I have removed all entries in initflashfiles.dat all except the non HTC stuffs and placed it under its respective app.dat in ext folder. Im customizing the location and icon pictures of basic wm stuffs (ie: home, search phone, help,games etc.) using provxmls.
What i have done so far:
1. Copied all these provxmls below to a "zzz_newXML" ext package and edited to new path i want.
mxip_MyPhone_100.provxml
mxipcold_marketplace_100.provxml
mxipupdate_office_100.provxml
mxipupdate_onenote_100.provxml
mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml
mxipupdate_RemoteDesktopMobile.provxml
mxipupdate_taskmgr_shell_1.provxml
mxipupdate_welcomecenter_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowslive_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. So the original is left untouched in SYS/OEM folder. Provxmls which assigns/resorts icons have been blanked out and placed in "zzz_newXML" files folder to overwrite the default paths so that i can fully control all icons using single provxml.
3. I am using mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml in XDA\EVK\OEM\LEO\0409\ProjectDefault_A to do start menu rearrangement. All Ext package icons customizations in placed in its respective folders.
My reason for choosing this method is so that i dont have to go to initflashfiles.dat or provxmls in new SYS package whenever i update system builds or add/remove ext package.
I have attached mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml (from item 3 above) and my initflashfiles.dat if you guys need more details. Please advice if there are any other better/easier way of doing this customization.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the late reply!

Thanks Braakie! Finally found time to rebuild rom with the reg key and that did bring back Screen option in settings. I still couldnt get the recorder right, maybe something wrong with the ext package itself.
I think we can change it to solved now as my main concern was with screen settings.

Other language fonts in IE

Hi all,
When I open a site which is in my regional language (Indian language), I could only see squares in it.
Do I have to install Unicode fonts in to my Herald?
I have Aserg's ROM and tried to open http://kn.wikipedia.org in the IE.

Just now, I referred to the following tutorial given in wikipedia. And now I can see all the fonts in my regional language.
I can't read anything.
I can't even read the menu items. Nor the Registry keys. Nothing. I don't know what to change back.
Seems, I need to hard-reset. What a fool I am.
------------------------------------------
Unicode on Windows mobile 5.0
To Enable the fonts on Windows Mobile 5 & 6
Copy the unicode font to \Windows\Fonts folder
Download PHM registry from http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/ (select the "Pocket PC 2002,2003 (ARM/PXA) from the dropdown)
copy registry editor cab file to device and install it.
Enable font linking by adding the below registries
Run PHM regidtry editor from programs
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Select Microsoft, go to edit > New Key and add a new key FontLink below HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
Select FontLink and add a new key SystemLink (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink )
Select SystemLink and add a string value.
Value name - Tahoma
Value data - \Windows\Fonts\Akshar.ttf,Akshar Unicode
Note: change the "Akshar.ttf,Akshar Unicode" as per the font you have copied to the Fonts folder.
Again go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ and add one more New Key "FontPath"
Select FontPath and add a string value as
Value name - FontPath
Value data - \Windows\Fonts
Soft reset your mobile

So, the method given above just changes the font of the device (while the language does not change).
I am going to hard-reset the device.
