German and French Language Pack for English WM5

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!
Hades.

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 , 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

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

Just destroyed my registry ...

Just made a small modification in my PPC registry (set default SIP) and tried if it survives a reboot. Unfortunately it survives ...
My Niki now stops/hangs during reboot showing the htc logo ...
Since I've saved the original registry a "simple" restore of registry would help. Is there any trick to boot the PPC in debug mode or so (e.g. like protected mode in XP)?
Any help highly appreciated !!!!!!!

Only thing to do is hard reset...
when phone is off, hold the call and end button and press the power button.
That will make your ppc soft reset, you can restore the registry after the phone resetted itseld

ELF0100 / HTC P3450i New Model?

Hi, im new to scene and already have a Imate jasjam (the TYTN) and have flashed it already to a new rom and works great.
However the HTC TouchFlo that I have seems to modified in some way as to not allow the old style Hard Reset / Soft reset, and has way diff specs for ram etc. It only has an inbuilt menu item to Master Clear the phone, but not rebuild menus etc.
Also the Elf / Elfin utility (dsixda's) to read the pda version etc will not work, and the utility to download the current spl (Dump SPL) fails as well.
and system/ >> Device Information/Hardware menu is missing on my phone
Is this common knowledge? As ive browsed here for a few days looking for the answer. All i can assume is they have implemented some lock to stop reverse engineering.
have i missed a step somewhere?
Here is a Gallery of images, to view.
http://img195.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=image011is.jpg

To add i copied dim application from my other phone (HTC TYTN), and most of the fields are empty. still says rom ver / date blank, radio and protocol blank
hardware. cpu blank, speed blank, ram size 6881394MB flash 7602288 MB, storage 72.78 MB , model and imie blank.
It doesnt matter too much with whats going on, its seems to have been manufactured less that 2 months ago and i have no problems with it.
Would have been good to slightly customise it, but nevermind.

Yup, most of the stuff have been changed.
TYTN is slightly older and therefore has more hardware buttons.
If you wish to hard reset, here you go:

Just to let you know that doesnt work either.

Found out how to hard reset.
Press Power, Camera, Call (green) and Disconnect (Red) , and reset with stylus.
hold buttons for 5 seconds, screen will go BLUE.
Release, all 4 buttons and when loaded system is default again.

excuse me, I have the same HTC, from China. Now it has only English. Could you help me, haw I can make it Russian?
Thanks

hi,
I just did the following in my phone:
Madremiha said:
Then put in "/Windows"the file named "shellres.96.dll.****.mui"
**** is the localization code of your ppc's rom (040C for France and 0409 for US/UK)
The files you'll find in the folder are in 040C so change them if you're not french.
And Soft reset
This operation will replace too your wait cursor by the wait cursor vista by Marshall if you want to keep your cursor follow the How-to instructions to extract and modify your shellres.96.dll file.
If you want to put your original system just erase your shellres.96.dll.****.mui file and soft reset.

but now my phone keeps getting stuck to the yellow windows startup screen..
please help, I've tried a hard reset, but no luck....

sorry, I was mistaken about the hard rest.... I thought the Hard reset was the button on the back, but that's not correct (thanks HTC for the o so good Dutch manual were they don't tell how to hard reset)....
It works again luckily....

Ihave the same problem... how did you repair it?

Okay, firstly, if you dont even know how to perform a hard reset there is no damn way you should be messing with system files. Lesson learned.
the easiest way to perform a hard reset is, when the power is off hold down both volume control buttons and turn on the power while they are pressed, follow the onscreen prompts.

The X2 is a Windows Mobile Device, you CAN NOT change the language by resetting the device. WinMo is just shipped that way.
You need to instead read this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684323
That's what you need to do to change the language. Then you also need to adjust some stuff in the registry to make sure the hardware keyboard has the correct layout.

Just look for the "trash can" icon in the System folder.

decision for awful video player in slideview
Hi everybody, just install :
CorePlayer.v1.3.6.Build.74

Course i know that , but resetting the device is the firt step for that procedure .
Anyway , i resolve my problem.
Remenber , my device is all in chinese languaje .I can not recognize the words in any way. But i can use the icons for recognize.
1.- Settings , and system (Folder with Windows symbol)
2.- U can see here a symbol like this (is not the "trash can " icon ) : attached image bellow
3.-Enter here , and check the two boxes.
Then in the box complete with the number indicating the side of the.
Then press the button below that indicates YES ( For clear phone).
Just wait for the phone restars , and late u can see the screen alignment.
Note : The procedure for changin languaje dont work on chinese X2 , I suppose this device have the last version of so .
Thanks.
