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,
Is there an spanish version for TyTN?.

Taguapire.
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
Recently i droped my PPC. And it did a hardreset.
Afther a restore from backup the problems started. ( SPD backup)
My regonal setings work. But not for the phone aplication. So if i dial 06049600604 it shows up as (064)600604
This is realy irritating to me.
I tried editing the Regional setings to ( dutch ) and in contacts i also used ( dutch)
None responce whatsoever. Even after a reboot.
Maybe sombody else knows a way to fix this.
Try to change Setting/system/Regional setings
may use "australia"
this is really pounding my ass... my wifi can be enabled "sometimes" mainly after a hard reset but then after a day of normal operation it refuses to enable.
cant seem to find anyone with the same problem.. when enabled it works fine can find and connect to any network just wont enable after a while.
soft reset does nothing
please point me in the right direction I dont mind reading/searching.
thanks in advance

2 Questions regarding your problem...
1. What ROM are you using? WM5 WM6? Which version of it?
2. By not enabling, do you mean that it does not switch on at all if pressed in the comm manager? or does it come on but refuses to connect to any Wi-Fi Network?
Let me know perhpas I can help
thanks for ur reply, I'm using WM5 ill check which version of rom now( soft reset?)
yes I mean it won't turn on when it does turn on it works fine
doesn't seem to be any reason why though I checked what programs were running nothing seems to be interfereing?!
anyway thanks for ur help
si
Your Problem should be easy to fix.. I hope...
Get a registry editor for your Wizard... something like Resco Explorer has a nice one built in or Total Commander will also work
Then go and change this key in the Registry
HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms\HTCPreloadWifi
Default value is 0 change it to 1 and exit the editor... play around with the Wizard for about 2-3 min and do a soft reset on the device. (This is needed to ensure that the Wizard actually stores the change to the registry.)
If it does not work check the key in the registry again and make sure it is changed... repeat the above steps if needed...
Hope you get it right.
PS Also check in the \Windows\Startup\ folder that WifiInit.lnk is there...
thanks for the advice, using total commander i changed the value waited soft reset ( value stayed changed) unfortunatly it didnt work. wifiinit.lnk is in startup too.
by the way here is the rom info
ipl - 2.21.0001
spl - 2.21.0001
gsm - 02.07.10
os - 2.21.4.1
really hope you have another idea? or hint
thanks so far at least that is ruled out.
there is another value. PreloadStatus.. change value from 0 to 1 and check again... other wise check through the Windows Mobile 6 Section and try to upgrade your ROM to something like NBD8.1 It is seriously much better than the WM5 you currently have..
Regards,
Johan
ok thanks I tried that value aswell, still intermittent with no rhyme or reason,anyway will try to upgrade to wm6.
thanks for your time
si
update: upgraded to wm6 nbd 8.2 rom but still got the same problem WIFI works after a soft reset but once disabled wont re-enable!
I tried the reg edits again but it doesnt seem to make any difference.
please help before I make bits of it with my hoof!
thnks again

Consider trying the latest xplode ROM which indicates this has been resolved.
i upgraded now to the latest xplode rom and radio 1.15, but problem still there, green led is flashing all the time and after a while phone turns on again automatically...
Try with just basic ROM without installing other cab files and check. You can do it by just hard reset. I am trying to figure out if any of cab file you installed is creating a problem to your device. By the way which device you are using?
i tried with pure rom, without additional programs...my device is a XDA3 (without Camera).
PH20B
And your not installing anything from the ExtROM folder on your memory card?
yes, usually i install more programs, but now i tried with basic rom, cause it didn´t work...
now i use flightmode.exe to shut phone; other radio (wifi and bluetooth) can be switched on and off by comm manager.
strange, but it works. would be great, if everything could be controlled by comm manager.......
Hi, i just modified a registry key carefuly in order to have the gullum keypad keyboard by default after a soft reset.
I put the right number found in the post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197&page=4 - {198D503A-EFFE-4afd-BC54-EED333C80E6D}), but now my phone don't boot anymore... i thought at worst i would have to put the right key back ( i have kept it ), but no, it freeezes at the htc boot screens showing the rom and bios versions...
Is there like a safe boot mode on windows CE ? in order to put my reg key back... do i have to do a hard reset
If someone got an idea, don't hesitate !
Ciao
Fred
Edit : sorry i didn't give the phone model : P3300 artemis
