Clever tip for international users, regarding "Sym&quot

You can change the order of the characters when using the Sym key!
I'm Norwegian, so I use ÆØÅ a lot!
Normally, I'd have to press "a" and then "Sym" 9 times to get "æ".
Now, I press "a" and "Sym" one time!
All you have to do is edit the "\Windows\sym.txt" file..
Here is the original one:

I guess you understand how to edit it?
I just moved "æ" from the end of the line, to the second place on the first line..
Now, I can't take credit for this..
I got it from Dangaard!
But I though I'd share it anyway, because Dangaard requires you to give a valid IMEI number to get such info from them..

Very nice find, comes in handy for the german umlaute too.
It's worth mentioning that this file is Unicode and must be edited with a Unicode capable editor. You can't do that on the device.
Before copying the new version you also need to remove the read only flag from the original file (And ignore all the Warnings about overwriting ROM files...)

Takk for det
Tnx.. and I think if you save a word doc with a norwegian dictionary the JasJar will be able to use that for spelling sugestions ?, someone tried this ??

SYM function for special Characters
Great Find!
I aften have to write in Portuguese which means I need ç, ã é à and all other odd characters. BUT, I have a question.
Can you just copy the SYM.TXT file from the device to your computer edit it and copy it back? Does file explorer grant you access to do that or does one need a special app to do that?
Cheers

You can use the normal file explorer on you pocket pc. Just copy the sym.txt to another name to edit it, then put it back in the windows folder under the sym.txt name. It will overwrite the original until you delete it, where you get the original settings back.

Thanks for a great tip! Is there perhaps some similar method for editing symbols on the on-screen keyboard?

Thanks a lot for this tuning.
I´ve one more question to symbols in documents like the german umlaute. I use the transcriber in my MDA pro. But its only the english language chooseable. Is there also any possibility to change this input program to german/greek...?

Many software are on net to scribe on screen whit special UNICODE letter (greek, rusian etc.). Good is "Kalamus" or something that name and look link on good resco scribe software:

Multiple Languages?

Hey everyone! I have the HTC Touch Dual with 20 keys, but I have a problem. See, I've been living here in Spain for about 4 years now, and I had a blackberry prior to this purchase, with a full qwerty keyboard, so I had no need to change between languages and such. So my question is if there is a way to have both dictionaries (English + Spanish) together. I saw a friend with his iphone, he had both languages installed at once. I'm wondering if there's any way to use the predictive writing tool while having it look through 2 languages at once. Is that possible? Thanks!
Kent.

just a thought, but maybe merging the two languages in the xt9 language file?

OMG! Do you know how to do this!? Is there a way to do this!? Wooo you just got me sooo excited

any results?
Hi guys, have you tried copying two different language files into one? Does it slow down the XT9 recognition (memory...)?
If you have identified the location and name of the files to merge, plz let me know.
Thx.

I need exactly the same , merge french & english

I just put in 14 in 1 language XT9 pack, and it works great, but still a pain when I have to switch languages everytime I want to type in a different language. Is there a way to remove languages that you don't want?

Can you briefly explain what you did?
If I unterstand correct, you _did_ copy multiple files into one (which and where?) and it seems to be working for you.
So why do you have to switch languages now? Shouldnt you be able to simply type and the T9 file (containing multiple language data bases) recognises possible matches from either of the contained languages?
2)
Proposal: Is there a chance to write a brief macro toggling between languages and make it configurable by a simple GUI to choose the language files to switch?
-> any takers for this challenge? Thx.

Well, I just found that 14 in 1 cab, installed it, and restarted. Worked great! And STILL Works great! But now I have 14 languages I'd like to get rid of 12 of them Any ideas?
What I was saying is that what I have to do is click and hold the asterisk, bring up the menu, click XT9 Languages and then click the language I want. I wish there was a way to do it faster.

Custom ROMs with transcriber and letter recognizer?

Are there any custom roms with transcriber and letter recognizer inputs enabled? I use these as my primary input methods but I can't find any roms with these enabled. Does anybody have any suggestions? Perhaps cabs that can be installed to enable this? I love my hand writing recognition I don't want to see it phased out!!

Thanks for the Cab! However I cant seem to get it to work! It asked for a reset for installation to be complete, I allowed it and cant find it anywhere. I thought i was going to have the transcriber as an input option. correct?

Solved: Transcriber input method missing
The Transcriber.cab as provided above is a very old one (dated year 2006/2007). HTC now provides a HOTFIX for all those using a Rhodium device. Please follow the link:
http://www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=250&cat=0&dl_id=822
This will lead directly to the download page (german language) for the HTC Touch pro 2. It works also realy fine on a mda vario V. After fixing the device You will get additional Input Methods. It is (german version) "Transcriber", "weit. Eingabemeth. (=more/additional Input Methods)" and you can find here "Letter Recognizer", "Block Recognizer"
You can modify the language by the input field "select country"

[REQ] HD2 Greek support

Hello,
Is it possible to extract the new Greek keyboard (SIP) and T9 from the newly released WM6.5 ROM for htc Topaz and use it in Leo?
I've tried - unsuccessfully - to do so, in order to install the Greek keyboard and T9 LDB to my Leo. The Leo comes with ROM 1.43.405.1 WWE.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello again.
Is it possible to include a Greek T9 dictionary with this Greek keyboard?

Keep in mind that there is a limitation on that. You can not send 160 greek characters per sms with this keyboard yet, it is limited to 70. We are searching for a solution on that.

The greek keyboard as well as the greek T9 are already pre-installed in your device. Some image files are missing however, and as a result of that you can not activate Greek language unless you either install the missing images (tsipistri's post) or modify the greek xml files to link to the english images.
These 2 solutions are posted here
I have not tested T9 with tsipistri's solution yet, but with the changed xml files T9 works flawlessly.
Regarding 160 sms, it seems right now that there is no ability for the ezinput application to write in GSM encoding. So, if you need 160 sms you can use Finger keyboard.

Hmmm Greek affiliates from Cosmote and from Chios island....
Well the Greek Leo ROM is out on my hands lads...why such an effort for extra cab files...

This will be possible with either a new SMS-oriented on-screen keyboard or a in-memory solution patch (like the one used by ACE Hellas) where non-GSM characters are swapped with the correct ones.
For the time being, I have no problem sending Greek SMS of 160 by simply employing some common logic: typing always in UPPERCASE English and switching to Greek uppercase only for the non-latin characters.

2) Install the attached cab file
3) Click on the white box next to the space bar in order to change between Greek and English Unicode letters.
4) From either English or Greek keyboard click on 12# box in order to write sms with 160 Greek capital letters
5) All removed symbols have been relocated to ABC menu or to page 2 of 12# menu
I am now working on an alternative version that will include 3 different keyboards (Greek, Greek SMS & English)

Great job Step2p, I will try it when I'm back home
Thank you very much for your efforts.

A red skin version with some bugs corrected.
If you haven't noticed it yet, long press entries are already activated in the sms keyboard. If you long press the capital letters you will enter the symbols that normally appear above them.
The file size is larger due to the included skin images.

Hi Step2p.
Many thanks for providing this nice keyboard.
There seems to be a problem when using it though, described originally here. The thread suggests that the problem is related to a registry hack, however, I have confirmed that I have the same problem irrespective of the registry setting. I am only noticing this behavior when using the greek keyboard.
Do you think you could have a look?

[CAB] Chinese support(CHS font only now) for Artermis ROM [UPDATED 02-May-2010]

Hi all,
This post is about getting the orginal WWE Asia HTC HD2's font into Artermis ROM.
1) Install the attached cab
2) Soft reset
Note 1: I only tested in fresh ROM environment, which is V10,V11
Note 2: These files are taken from RUU_Leo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

I have tried various cabs before like ricky, RobRedbeard- LIA, sunglobe etc... and i have no idea what are the cabs actually doing. some of them even replaced the original wince.nls, create some junk reg keys, make chinese font in some app overlapping...
Here is the safer technique to get chinese font support without messing around with the system files and registry.
1) Download the attached zip file and extract to your storage card
2) Copy UCSH00B-gray.ttf to \windows
3) Import this registry file, SystemLink.reg
4) Soft reset

temporary solution
I just tested with artermis v10 with the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6295918#post6295918
steps
1) download the attachment then extract all the files to a temp folder on your desktop
2) go files folder, copy & paste EzInputSettings.exe.0804.mui then rename the new file to EzInputSettings.exe.0409.mui
3) copy all the dll files from those folder name end with .ddl to parent folder (../files). you can skip HTCSipSrvc.dll
4) now go to your device, change SIP to other. change home to titanium
5) go to /windows folder and rename those dll file with same name you modified on your desktop temp folder to xxxx.dll.old( total is 11 files)
6) copy the temp folder on your desktop to your HD2
7) use total commander to move all the files inside files folder to /windows, replace all the dll & files (must make sure no overwrite error)
8) import app.reg
9) soft reset

Maybe try the following:
- rename the existing wince.nls to wince.nls.old then copy the new one.
- inside your registry... remove this key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink] then import the reg file from 1st post, if everything ok, only 5 entries will be recreated as following
"HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin"="\\windows\\UCSH00B-gray.ttf,AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray);\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Helvetica Neue OTS"="\\windows\\UCSH00B-gray.ttf,AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray);\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

"Tahoma"="\\windows\\UCSH00B-gray.ttf,AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray)"
"AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray)"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
remember to soft reset ... then enjoy the new font

replacing the wince.nls directly doesn't work. You need to use it with reloadnls.exe which will have to be in the startup folder. do a search for it and you will find your answers. I used to write a thread for this as well, so you can try to search for it.
