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
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

Hello.
After hours and hours looking for a pretty cube effect for my Trinity, I don't found a solution.
I have a Faman Spanish 4.02 (WM6), it runs ok. I downloaded differents .cab for TouchFlo and the Cube, but don't work. I think I'm a little lost in what I must do.
Somebody can help me? Please, link to any post wich really explain how to install cube-effect or put the link to applications here, I'm lost with the different versions
Thanks a lot!!!
Hello again. I'm still looking for the cube.
I read that i need to install TouchFlo, and I have tried with FTouchFlo. I do softreset and... nothing. After it, I read that I need to install Flash Cube too, because it's said that is faster than the original one but... There is a lot of posts where is used but I don't find how to install it.
Finally I just found HTC TouchFLO Cube Ctrl at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583 but i don't know if it is what I want. I'm going to try it..
The instructions of HTC TouchFlo Cube Ctrl says:
1. You need to already have the HTC TouchFLO cube software installed
and operating on your device. This includes the apps:
ApLauncher.exe, QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe, and Biotouch.exe
2. You need to have FTouchFlo installed and working on your device.
I tested with the latest version v1.4.1
I don't find the archives of the point one, so I looked the interventios of FAMAN and I found the FTouchFloCubeESv3.cab that I'm going to try a this moment. Any other idea?
Bah, I desist.
No way, I can't do work the cube. In addition, I downloaded FTouchFloCubeESv3.cab from a external page and it changed my Trinity password (I flashed again and ok). The password change don't happens with the file linked in the xda-forums, I checked it. If somebody can do a little howto, step by step, I'll try it again...
Thanks in anyway.
I'm lucky. Just when I went to uninstall... Surprise! It Works!
Mini How-to:
Download Faman's FTouchFloCubeESv3.cab only from xda-forums (external links may block your Trinity): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1694816&postcount=126 and install it. With this, you completed step 1 of the of HTC TouchFlo Cube.
Install FTouchFLO from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338143
Install HTC TouchFLO Cube Ctrl from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343583 (read instructions)
Install sdkcerts.cab from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2064462&postcount=16
Softreset and... done! Remenber: quick-gestures and with moderate pression.
I couldn't wait until July to release this... new build of WM6.5 that fixes the keyboard issue (but the SYM key still works, which was disabled by Montecristo's registry patch) and the device.exe issue (according to keyx's A2DP instructions)...
WM6.5 build 21820 for the iPAQ 910c/912c/914c Business Messenger:
21820br0609 download here
Known bugs/fixes:
- Right softkey on "Clock" homescreen panel requires this fix by EREZYAD (thanks!)
- I accidentally cooked .NET CF 2.0 into this ROM instead of 3.5. You can still run version 3.5 using these instructions.
This ROM features HP's newest firmware base, meaning increased max volume and other fixes. I have removed the following OEM junk:
- Cyberon Voice Commander
- iPAQ Tips, Help & Support
- HP Photosmart Mobile (and screensaver)
- Snapfish uploader
- HP custom IE homepage
- HP Today theme (and other customizations)
- Google Maps (old)
- Goolge Search (old)
- iPAQ DataConnect
(...since the new WM6.5 AutoConnect feature does the same thing)
This ROM contains the following little additions:
- NumBattery
- GPS Viewer
- Backlight Controller 0.9.5.2
Once I get around to making some new OEM packages for my favourite freeware apps, I'll bundle those in the "m" series next month:
WM6.1 21042br0709m "motherload" - pending
WM6.5 21820br0709m "motherload" - pending
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Get a microSD card sized 2 GB or lower (SDHC won't work) and format it with regular FAT filesystem. Copy my FLASH.DIO to the root of the card. Insert card into your device.
2. Put your device into SDLoader mode by holding VOLUP+OK(button on right side) and pressing RESET. Make sure your battery has a decent charge (over 50%) and isn't connected to any USB charge or sync cable (or else your device will just go into RUU mode).
3. Watch the magic... SDLoader will check the file integrity, flash to your device ROM, do a clean reboot (can take a minute longer than usual) and then go into the "Welcome to Windows Mobile, tap here to continue" stuff.
4. If you run into any problems, repeat steps 1 through 3 with a FLASH.DIO that has worked before (i.e. you can make one from HP factory ROM update using Paloma's instructions posted here)

The issue with the keyboard is fixed! Great Job
This would seem to confirm that despite what HP says, the "Rogers 910c only" OEM files are compatible with the 912c and 914c.

You can't dump the whole thing because I used keyx flex kitchen; there are too many files to use the old (dumpable) method.
However, you can extract the xip from my FLASH.DIO using this command:
osnbtool -d FLASH.DIO 1 xip.bin
Then xip.bin is your xip; you'll want to insert that into an original 80 MB TEMPLATE.ROM (i.e. whatever you've been using to cook so far) using
osnbtool -c TEMPLATE.ROM 1 xip.bin
Then delete your previous TEMPLATE.ROM and rename TEMPLATE.ROM.NEW to drop the ".NEW" part.

RE: Opera Mini... it works for me on this ROM.
RE: Your app with SMS... try disabling the on-screen message for new text message in Sounds and Notifications control panel.
The difference with this ROM is that it is a new build. Mainly that fixes the keyboard issue, which was in the OS.

Oh weird - I just looked and it is NetCF 2.0 (what????) which I guess was put in by my SYS source at ppcgeeks. I'll stick NetCF 3.5 in the July release, promise. For now, download and install the .Net CF 3.5 redistributable from Microsoft.

Dude, the Record button works just fine for me. Are you talking about hitting it once? That shows up as the VoiceCMD button in the Buttons control panel - it comes unassigned, but you can point it to the Backlight control (my personal favourite) or Voice Command or whatever.
The "Record" button requires you to press and hold down the button while you record a voice note.

Hi all,
i am searching for the QuickGps cab.
(i send my phone to repair a screen issue, and they installed a news rom + hard reset, and i dont have anymore the quickgps program)
I have tried differents cabs, and also the one recommended on the link above.
i always get the same result:
- After installing the cab on the phone (internal storage) and not on the SD Card
- rebot
- click on quickgps icon:
"impossible to open the file. it is not signed or one of the components are not avaible"...
I have tried several cabs, and somes "fixed cabs" and nothing; I always get this error or another one (i dont remember exactly, something about empty page...")
any ideas?
For information, my phone HTC Touch HD

Thanks... for any new hint
