1. Install the registry editor like Total commander ( http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe ) or Resco Explorer ( http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/downloads.asp ) to your Pocket PC
2. Open the program on your device and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd].
3. Create New String Value (if you already dont have one with the name Locale)
4. Type in Value name: Locale
5. Type in Value Data: 0407 (as i have an german device. NOTE: You've to look in the "LCIDHex" column on this site: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx for fourther area codes)
6. Close the window by clicking on Ok
7. Exit the program
8. hold your powerbutton for a few seconds until you'll be asked if you really want to switch your device off, click on YES
IMPORTANT: DO NOT RESET DEVICE WITH STILUS BY PRESSING RESET BUTTON
9. Turn on your device and it should work.

This method does not work on my AKU2.3 ROM (the "Mr Clean" ROM). My local Qtek distributor has a CAB available that changes the keyboard layout to Swedish - that fix worked on the older ROM versions but all it does now is to inactivate all the buttons on the Wizard (!).
So I really need to find a way of setting the keyboard to Swedish on my WWE ROM.
Any ideas?

Fixing German QWERTZ keyboard for O2miniS with O2 EnglishROM

Fixing German QWERTZ keyboard layout for O2 miniS with English ROM installed is very simple.
Many nomally use AEKmap, but this is not allways fine for somebody.
Now we need a small registry hack.
1. Use a registry editor like total commander.
2. Go to \HKCU(HK Current User)\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale.
3. Change the value of the key "Locale" from "0809" to "0407". "0407" is the locale ID for Standard German. You can find other Locale ID suitable for you at: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx.
4. Do a soft reset and enjoy. All the keys and symbols have fixed right.
Hope this help someone.[/list]

wooooooow!!
That's good.
I will try that NOW

Well I don't see any Locale folder under Keybd...
What next?

Dear cizake,
"Locale" is not a folder. This is a key, locating under the folder "Keybd". We have to change the value of this key. Check the path again, pls.
Hope this help.

I cannot change the vaule, I use PHM Registry editor, after soft reset, the vaule back to 0804,not 0407.....why??

I have no idea. I am using total commander. This is free at here http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm.
1. Check your programs that running each time you start windows at \windows\startup\. If they change keyboard settings.
2. After changing the registry key value. Do the soft reset by this way: Hold down the power button for ~5 seconds. When being asked to turn off the device, tap Yes. This will completly turn off the device and save the changes in registry. This method may different from taping the stylus to the reset hole.

I dont see Locale either .... would really appreciate any help on changing :
a) software keyboard layout and

Check the path again:
The folder: \\\Registry\\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\
The key: Locale.
If you do not see the folder. Create a new folder "Keybd", then create a new key with name "Locale".
I thing this may help.
This is a fix for hardware (real) keyboard only.

Cool. For AZERTY keyboards the value is 040C. My ROM version didn't have Locale value in the HKC\ControlPanel\Keybd, I had to create one myself. It has to be String value, not DWORD. Thank you for great hack.

GUYS! YOUR ARE GREAT!!!
Works perfect with Eng for Russian Keyboard (Russian code is 0419). Now I can switch between Russian and English

yes can confirm 0809 works a treat for english keyboard, thanks!!

Sweet!
Yup! works a treat. Have now changed WM 5 from french to English (which gave me the english keyboard problem) and thanks to you changed the keyboard layout to French. Brilliant. By the way, where could i get the new qtek 9100 ROM 1.6 WWE?

Sorry, but this nice solution is not working after upgrading to 1.6.7.1
This entry in the Registry does not exit anymore. I can only find things whichhave the value "e0010409" for english keyboard and i want to get back my german one. Has anybody that number?

Check again kbaasch
Check the path again:
The folder: \\\Registry\\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\
The key: Locale.
If you do not see the folder. Create a new folder "Keybd", then create a new key with name "Locale".
I thing this may help.
This is a fix for hardware (real) keyboard only.

my keyboard is now ok
oainot
Its works fine, thanks.
I have T-Mobile MDA Vario from German, I have flashed it with ROM: 1.6.7.1 WWE
And, with reg file my keyboard is now ok.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"Locale"="0407"

MrBuz
Great, stunning solution! Thank you! This is absolutely BRILLIANT !
I have 1.6.7.1 WWE and Russian layout works perfectly...
But the English now lacks a "comma", as the combination "dot+comma" is assigned by the system to switch between layouts.
Is there any solution to re-assign the layout sequence, or to assign "Shift+comma" to print comma (currently Shift does not have any influence on that button on my system...)

Awesome solution.Works like a charm. Can not imaging a better solution. A++++

Fixed permanently?
Cool!
Will this work after hard reset? If not, anyone dare to create a new ROM so that we can flash it and fix it permanently?
Rocks!

hello

Wow!
Thanks for this!
But before I go installing it - is it worth it?
Or will a more final version be out soon?
The last few I've installed I've ended up uninstalling again due to one thing or another - is this verson stable and functional?
Sure sounds like you've knocked a lot of the issues on the head thou!

Hey...
I see on the home screen in your screen dump that you have some funny chars in the text there.
Is this just because of your locale or is this a bug?

I went to try it....
I downloaded everything, shut down Vista to boot up Server3k so I could Mutty and one of my hard drives died. I got the dreaded "This drive has not been formatted - would you like to format it now" error.
A brand new 500G drive it was too!! GGrrr!!
XP Pro gave me the same thing.... and now Vista as well....
I'm too busy at work to sort it right now but once I get the drive back online then I'll give this verson of WM6 a blast, see what happens and report back.

Hi Creative7419,
Many thanks for the job done. Guess this will work on my Dutch T-Mobile SDA as well, right?!
Btw: where should the segoe fonts be copied to, to \Windows or \Windows\Fonts? And what is the added value of installing both Celetask and Oxios memory (they have identical functionality)?

please upload WM6 in others Servers
mediashare wrzucaj.com ....... etc.
ps. is the rom work it in SPV C500 (typhoon)?

I don't think it is 100% ready. This is (more or less) the same ROM as referred to in the 'wm6.0 for feeler?' thread, and it is far from stable. I tried to install the 'integrate ENlang+T9+Celetask+Camera+Oxios Memory+Full Homescreen' CAB (the NEW version) and - bingo - my SDA couldn't find a network to register on, Calendar and Contacts do not work. Bottom-line, my SDA cannot be used this way.
Looking forward for a stable WM6 ROM for the Feeler.

can anyone please post a complete guide to do this. I dont want to ruin my feeler.

same observation here...
after using it yesterday and installing the "integrate ENlang+T9+Celetask+Camera+Oxios Memory+Full Homescreen" (old version), noticed that the camera app used is from the cooked wm5 (i like much the camera app of the orig chinese rom. much clearer. much faster. and has a 2x zoom)...
album.exe app is not running when clicked... so you need to use file explorer/smart explorer to open the images first...
if the backlight lits off when with some opened program/app, the only button you can use is the end key which when pressed turns your device to homescreen mode... and needed to press the back key to go back to that opened program/app...
i ended up reverting again to the chinese rom last night as i felt that it's a "more" stable...
just my 2-cents...

can't change querty to quertz

hi
yesterday i hardreseted my BA and since then i have not been able to change the softkeyboard to the german layout.
i changed the registry entry "layout" in HKLM\software\oem\querty to 132105 but even after about 40 softresets nothing changed.
whats especially strange is that pcmkeyboard though i chose the azerty/quertz layout is also querty.
is there anything i forgot? as far as i remember the registry trick worked fine last time.
(i am using sundreams wm6.1 rom)
thx
--fleity

no no no man!
you need to search download and isntall this:
1.- Netcompact frameworks v3 (or newer)
2.- Advanced Config v2 (or newer)
3.- Searching time
hope this works... cause advanced config change the keyboard to many other lang i use qwertz cause my keyboard is german.

Did you get the german keyboard somehow?
I still use the patch from ZakMcRofl, it switches the hardware keyboard to german and adds an additional German soft-keyboard. It would be better to have the standard keyboard switched to German, though, instead of adding an new one.

Whate ever you want
if this works for you FINE! if works better yours Fine TOO!
Keep the good support.

It works, but as I wrote it would be better to use the standard keyboard in german. Now I have two soft-keyboards: english and german. Is there a solution without installing the .Net v3?

i get an error when installing netcfv35.wmmarv4i.cab. do i have the wrong file?
the installation runs until the end and then the following error appears (of course in german... though my rom is in english):
Installationerror.
Shut down all tasks and processes, maximize the available storage and run the installation again. supportinformation: 3
after pressing ok the normal "you have to restart the device to complete installation. ok to restart, cancel to continue" message is displayed.
but netcf is not installed
i choose to install it on the device.
are there seperate version for different languages? link to english and german version?

when you set the hardware keyboard to another language, exit the registry editor, then turn off the device with the power button (not softreset, not hardreset) turn it back on and THEN softreset.
I did that a few hours back and it worked like a charm.
The Device first has to write the contents into the database, it is NOT immediately saved after you exit the Registry Editor.
I found that one out after I restored my Blue Angel to an older ROM after I tried WM6.5 by xplode.
My Messages went missing after I restored them and made a softreset.
When you restore something, or change something in the Registry, it gets saved in RAM, but not written until you set the device to sleep and wake it up again.

no sorry still the same problem.
i tried to change it to the french layout and even after sleep, turn on, softreset the reg value is really the one for the french layout but still its querty nothing else...
it's like the rom is using another registry value, no matter what i write in there nothing changes

Problem with language settings

Hi,
My LEO has english ROM and Its obvious that all of the apps and stuff is in english - and thats fine for me - i want it that way.
But when typing a message I would like my LEO to use polish language dictionary (useful to Spell Correction, to Word Completion
[XT9] and so on).
I know that it is possible to set different language for text input, but when I open the list of languages to choose from, I see: german, french, etc. but NO polish;/
Does anyone know how to deal with this? How to get polish lang on the list?

install a registry editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9
click AvailableLanguages and add 0115 to the end of the value like:
0109,010C,0107,0110,010A,0115
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Tegic/eT9/LdbFiles
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of PLlsUN_xt9.ldb
then go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Sip\LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping
and add a new String value named 0115 with a value of 0915
reboot your device...

It will be there CZ or SK too ?? ? ? Thanks CLEVER MAN ! !!

I think Slovak is 011B, SKlsUN_xt9.ldb, LanguageKeyBoardIDMapping 091B
but I haven't tried so I'm not sure..
Also not sure CZ is in there.. there's no .ldb file with CZ or something.. any ideas what it might be called? I think the code should be 0105.
if the ldb file is there it should be located in the windows folder

I followed Your guide but I still seem to have a problem.
I opend text editor right after rebooting my device. I set language to Polish, turned word prediction on and started typing. I entered 1 word and clicked space button to start typing second word. And from this moment my device is not responding (I had to perform restart). I tried it for about 5 times - always thesame reaction.
So I performed hard reset, set device language to Polish (previously i had English). When my Leo was ready I changed the registry according to Your instruction and restarted the device. From that moment my Leo is restarting all the time long. I had to remove the battery and do the hard reset to make it work again.
Do You know what could cause the problem?

I just checked to add Polish but it works perfectly for me.. maybe check your spelling with the .ldb file and check if the file is present in the windows folder.. is it an original ROM?
When you set your device to polish (multi language device??), did you check if the dictionary was maybe already there before you changed the registry? A polish device should have a polish dictionary standard you should say..

Well it works (wejdz w jakies pole textowe->klawiatura->trojkat przy klawiaturze->ust wprow texty->wlacz sprawdzanie pisowni) type kocham then press it to keep it save on word list then type koham and you should be able to choices between both words. Correct one will be at center in order to press space to accept(space soft key).
Unluckly you have to type words by your own to have it in xt9

It loock like not all language could be activatet.
I try to do that for Ukraine but no result.
