Hello All, I have the new kitchen rom installed and need a bit of help with the touch keyboard/touch keypad.
When I first start it (say go to programs) and tap on the keyboard symbol I get a nice large standard keyboard with the numbers on top but if I change to any program that requires that requires input the keyboard switches to the XT9 automatically and I can't seem to find a way to disable the XT9 input.
Any ideas????
Hey Iggy, I have a unbranded herald and installed a custom rom with the touch keyboard/touch keypad, and encountered the same exact thing. I wasn't the only one either. I installed the custom rom I was using previously and I didn't have that problem anymore. I think it might be a keyboard bug in that rom you're using. I could be mistaken, but so many people in the herald community forum who installed that particular beta rom experienced that same *annoying* keyboard issue, lol.
Look in the Elf upgrading forum for the original thread by noonski, check on the first page for the link to the fix for switch to xt9 mode (2 letters per key). Just a note if you make the changes to have the full querty stay you will not be able access the other modes, also xt9 will be completely disabled.

look for the HTC Touch keyboard/keypad's cab file version somewhere in the elf/elf upgrading forums and copy it into your ppc. then tap it to install the cab. then use a registry editor and go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/keyboard layout /Preload/1
change e0010409 by adding characters like XXXXXe0010409 to disable xt9 and make the HTC Touch 40-key keyboard permanent. (you can revert it back by taking out your added characters) BUT what i found was the landscape view does not contain a spacebar key/button! but portrait mode works flawlessly.
Disable XT9
I used this reg file found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533 it is part of the HTC Touch Keyboard/Keypad file that can be downloaded as a seperate file.
..thanks...
...for you information, now my hardware keyboard is on!!

Well, after I installed it, it doesnt default to Xt9 any more when I go to new messages
Sweet!
can't find this, can you send the link?
this is fantastic!
what ROM are you using ? will this work with any ROM (and ROM language) ?
i would appreciate the link also!
here is the cab file, it's actually just a registry setting fix.
HTC-DUAL-TOUCH-XT9-TO-ABC-FIX
The registry concerned is:
Code:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)
A friend gave me this link as I am also having a problem with the HTC site.
Enjoy!
oh my god it works !!!!
i cant believe how simple that was !!! thank you so much for the registry entry, i can use my phone to text again !!!
it's great!
this was the most anoying thing on my new dual.
tx a lot,
pirlone
Doesn't work for me
in fact it screws my device up!.. it shows the ABC being as the default input, but I can only type the first letter in each key, multiple presses just repeats the same letter
I guess I will have to reflash the OS.. otherwise I now cant use the text input on the keypad anymore!
works on mine. thanks, dtm for letting me know about this.
Maybe doesnt work on mine becos Im running the WM6.1 Nikki project OS ??
Anyone else that has installed this using this Version?
Can you help me? I am begiiner having Dual 2 days. XT9 is really anoying esp for NON english users.But I cannot fix it as it is described. Can you show me step by step what to do? Thanks
It does not work for me!

Please help me. I am a new user having Dual 2nd day. I was trying to install it but it does not work. Can you describe step by step for the beginner what to do? XT9 is realy anoying esp for NON english users.
Hi, just copy the cab to the phone and install it. Maybe you need to softreset your Niki. (open the battery case, the reset button is left to the USB connector).
Cheers

I love this and it is working well for me. My only issue is when using the touch keypad software, when you type it highlights the letters and take a few micro seconds to move to the next so if I am typing a sentence, and press space,it deletes that entire word or atleast the last few letters that I typed :-( So the only way to solve this is not text that fast or use the hardware keypad.
Wow I noticed so many people reposting this when this was posted a long time ago.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm this is working on my wifes elf also
Finally there's something to kill XT9
Change Mode from ABC to XT9 or XT9 to ABC.
Hey everyone!
First, I wanted to start out thanking muzikfreakah for the link to the .cab file and the posting the Registry path that needs to be modified. I used these as a base reference for the work I completed on my phone. Instead of wanting to go from XT9 to ABC, I wanted to change my phone from ABC to XT9.
Initially I used PHM Registry Editor to make the necessary change to the Registry value you noted. Shortly thereafter, I updated my ROM to WM 6.1 so I had to reapply the settings manually. This got me thinking. Why not just create a quick .cab file for myself, saving me time in the future. This is exactly what I did!
Attached are two .cab's I created a while back (just never got around to uploading them). The first .cab (SP_Default_ABC_To_XT9.cab) modifies the appropriate Registry Key, setting it to 1 (defaulting to XT9). The second .cab (SP_Default_XT9_To_ABC.cab) does just the opposite, changing the value to 0 (defaulting to ABC).
Final notes before I part -
File Sizes: The file size of each of my .cab's is 1.07 KB, as it only contains the necessary Registry Key change. The link muzikfreakah provided brings you to "HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab". This file size is 20.76 KB, as it appears to use a more complex method of making the necessary Registry changes.Company and Application Name: After my .cab is installed, it will display in the Installed Programs list as "Seth_Polley Default_XT9_To_ABC" (or vice versa depending on .cab used). After installing the other .cab (HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab), the following is displayed in the Programs list: "Customization Customize_Tool".
In summary, either file will work for changing from XT9 to ABC. While 20.76 KB is nothing by today's standards, you can go smaller yet by using my .cab's (about 1/20th of the file size). Additionally, my .cab's provide a more descriptive name in the Programs list. Pick your poison! To 'install' the Registry modification, simply move the .cab to your phone, execute it, and follow the prompts.
Feel free to PM me if you have difficulties accessing/downloading the files. If you are concerned about using my files, feel free to open the .cab (can use an application like WinRAR) and review the contained "_setup.xml" file to verify this .cab will only make the changes I noted above.
Best Regards,
Seth

U need to install two cabs, the keyboard and language pack. There is a third cab to install if U want T9 turned off by default, although U can always turn it off manually.

Hi all:
Seeking some help regarding the keyboard fix for tilt2. It was working fine for me when I use one of the official EUR 6.5 ROMs. I just flashed to a 6.5 WWE Hong Kong ROM with CHT and the cab is not working. I believe possibly because of the different IME for Chinese or the newer version of the ROM?
Instead of a cab is there some keys I can change/add to registry to fix that problem? It's driving me crazy not able to type properly...
Thanks in advance!!
I eneded up using the hwkeyboard cab to get the right FN and shift key....then I added takrim's keyboard control and reassigned all the keys to the correct place. Here's the XML file you can load to get all the keys...unzip and open keyboard config -> load -> and choose the xml file.
thanks for the xml, im having an issue with my numbers and symbols not working and this one seemed to remap it correctly when i put it into the keyboard config. However, the OK button is the FN button, and the FN button is caps lock, and im not sure what the capslock/shift button does (but it doesn't do anything when i press it)! . Is there a way to swap them in the config? i tried to do it myself but could only find how to create a rule and i dont think thats correct. Thanks!
install Toleraen's Tilt2KWKeyboard cab....for my initial testing it fix the FN and shift key but nothing else...
so now I have both the hwkeyboard cab installed - to fix FN and shift. Then use keyboard config + my XML for the rest.
Give it a try
Again. All the stuff you need.
I have downloaded these three files, but I do not know how to load them into my Tilt2. They don't unzip to .cab files. Could anyone help me with some instructions here?
Thanks in advance
RQDHD2 cab
Iam now using this fix and it worked for me and i can still sync with outlook
When i use HW keybord SIP keybord wil also hide
Works beautifully, thanks!
I got to modify your 'Keyboardconfig.xml" one-by-one as it is not working for mine. This may due to different ROM version. Anyway, attached my copy of .xml file & I'm using WME version of ROM. Hope this help those having same problem.
Hi guys,
My new htc doesn't remember the new words added in dictionary after a soft reset, I have already contact htc support and they tell me that happen because is stored in memory RAM (WTF??).
Can I edit the t9 database and add the words? I have tried with "eT9MyWords" but doesn't work..
Thanks in advance.
does anyone have the same problem?
yes, i have
What ROM do you have?
What keyboard?
did you perform a hard reset to your device after you've purchased it?
I'm having the same problem and haven't found any solution. There is a T9Editor somewhere on the net, but it also doesn't work (at least for me).
I am thinking about buying Cootek TouchPal which also has T9 and can save user entered word, but I'd much rather have the HTC T9 Keyboard save my words...
Hopefully someone will find a way...
we can see this problem only on wm 6.5, becouse this OS store the file of t9 words in the ROM(why???). i dont want to use another keybord.
this problem was on my td2 before hard reset and after it.
I made a little (dirty) MortScript script that reads words from a text file and automatically enters them into the T9 database.
The script has to be run manually after every reset/shutdown or could be entered to the notification queue so that it is automatically run after every reset/shutdown.
Installation:
* Expand the zip file into some directory on computer.
* Edit the file "t9user.txt" to contain the desired words:
- one word/line
- be sure to keep the empty line at the end of the file
* Edit the 1st line of file t9user.mscr:
- this line reads: et9mywords_title = "T9 Meine Wörter"
- change the text between the quotation marks to the title of your eT9MyWords.exe
- I'm using the german version so the title reads "T9 Meine Wörter"
* Copy everything into a folder on your PPC and change to that folder on your PPC
* Start the included MortScript.exe to register the script file type ".mscr"
(This should not be required if you already have MortScript installed)
* start the script by "clicking" the file "t9user" with the MortScript logo...
The script should start eT9MyWords.exe (which is shipped with the Touch 2) inside the "Windows" folder and enter all words from the text file. Afterwards eT9MyWords.exe is automatically closed again.
It is quite an ugly workaround, but at least it works
PS: Feel free to improve my script or use it any way you like, but please report any improvements so we all can benefit...
Thanks!
I'll test it.
It works
Good job! It works well! For french WM version, the t9user.mscr file modification is "XT9 Mes mots".
Good job georg.madler!
not a perfect solution, but works fine!
the Portuguese title of eT9MyWords.exe is "XT9 Minhas palavras"
Thank you!
Hi!
Glad that my script is working for you...
I know this way is not very elegant, I'm looking for a way to add words directly to the T9 database without the use of eT9Mywords.exe allowing for "better performance" and maybe a way of extracting added words from the database to the textfile...
Bye,
Georg
Submit to HTC support
Dear all,
I'm also having this t9 issue and at the moment I'm using the script, thanks again.
I submited the problem to HTC support and they were responding that I was the first reporting this problem...
If you're reading this, it's probably that your Mega is also loosing the T9 entries... so report the problem to HTC, in this way they will perhaps take some time to solve it!
fix for this problem
View attachment MEG_S00015.zip
run in device.
Can you tell us where you got that file from and if it is working with all language-versions of the Mega?
Thanks!
Edit: I tried it and it works! But sadly this hotfix does break something else:
If you use the phonepad-style keyboard to enter text only the first letters of the buttons pressed appear, the word suggestions do show that the word is recognized and word in the text area is replaced with the recognized word after you press space.
For example if i enter my name "Georg" the textarea reads "gdmpg", only after i press the space button those letters are replaced with the correct word...

is there a possibility to have words added when adding them during texting? or do you have to always use a texteditor?

Hi all
Short:
How do I remove a single preset(stock) autocorrect "rule" or word from a language?
My problem:
I use my phone with Norwegian and out of the box the autocorrect got a pretty annoying fault.
When i type "Hei" that means " hello" in Norwegian, the autocorrect corrects it to "Hdi".
"Hdi" got no meaning in Norwegian and this is pretty annoying since it doesn't learn that it is wrong over time.
I use the latest ROM by pdaimatejam at all time, WP 7.8
Link to ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
I guess i will be able to use cab sending to "update" my language with a language cab.
I have because of this searched through a language cab file to try to find it, but i have not succeeded in finding it.
To get to the files in cab I used WinRAR to unpack the language cab, and then used it once again to unpack the pkg files in the extracted folder.
Is there anyone who knows how what file I have to find and edit?
I do only want to remove a single word
settings - keyboard - typing settings
click on "tap to change"
but if you have selected English (or other) keyboard, not Norwegian... select right one in settings - keyboard...
not quite what i was looking for

thx for a quick reply, but I think you have misunderstood my question.
How do I remove only a single word from the preset autocorrect, the one the phone is delivered with.
