In www.qtek.fi there is some kind of script/program to change Universal's sym-button's character order. Unfortunately to download it you need Qtek 9000's IMEI (I have I-mate Jasjar).
Does someone here to know where these character arrays are stored and how to change the order so that 'ä' would be first character when 'sym' is pressed after 'a' (default is 4th press) and 'ö' first ch after 'o' (default is 5th press)?
Thanks in advance,
Antti R.
Hello araappa,
you have to edit the file "sym.txt" in your \windows folder. There you can change and/or add any character.
Greetings,
Hulzer
Thanks for your reply Hulzer,
After your answer it actually comes to my mind, that I earlierly did find that file, but I could not edit it since it's located in ROM. That makes the situation very same as in my other post concerning how to change voicbeep.wav file.
So the files are in \windows folder and are rom-files. But where are they, in extended or some other rom section (I'm not familiar with JJs memory structure), and which tool/unlocker I should use to get full access to these files?
Best regards, Antti
Hi,
I didn't change or unlock something with the ROM.
1. Copy the file to your desktop pc
2. Make your changes
3. Copy it back to your device
The file will be mirrored - you cannot overwrite it on your device directly. You have to copy it before. The origin file remains. But the new one will be stored in RAM. This one will be used.
For me it works fine!
Just try it like me.
character order
Hi!
I'm having the same problem although I've got a Samsung SGH-I750 with 2003SE.
I changed the sym.txt but nothing happened. I want to enter text with the phone's keypad but there is a lot of "unwanted" characters for example on button "2" like: à, å, æ, ç, ä
I've heard about changing the HKLM/T9InputMethod, but there is no directory like this.
Thanks for help
hi,
I need to create a shortcut to a file or folder using eVC++ 4.0, anybody knows how to do this??
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanx alot
Mohammad
It's very easy:
Just create a file (with lnk extension)
and write to it:
10#"my_app.exe" -launch
this is what it means:
10 - length of the string after #. This value doesn't have to be accurate because it is usually ignored.
"my_app.exe" - path and name of the target of the shortcut.
-launch - command line parameters (if you have any)
You can also add: ?incon.exe,0 to take an icon from another exe / dll
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you very very much,
but I need a small thing, could you please provide me with a complex example so I can understand all features supported for shortcuts.
Thank you again,
Mohammad
Mo.
A number of us have posted about the structure of the .lnk file.
Search against my username for the word completeness.

now, I searched and got how the thing works, but I have a problem with coding this stuff:
When I attemp to write to shortcut file like this:
strData.Format(_T("%d#\"%s\""),strFilename.GetLength(), element.strPathname);
ShortcutFile.Write(strData,strData.GetLength()*2);
The file is not written correctly, what I get is the data I wrote in the file with a square charecter after each letter like this:
#□4□0□"□\□S□t□o□r□a□g□e□ □C□a□r□d□\□M□y□P□r□o□g□r□a□m□.□E□x□e□"□
so how can I solve this? and does it relate to unicode?
That's because you are trying to write it in UNICODE. This adds zero to every byte.
You must use fopen, fprintf, fclose functions or just create an array of char and use FileWrite to create an ASCII text file.
Thanks levenum,
but isn't windows ce file system unicode based? if so, how can I use ASCII format to write unicode filenames?
Thanks alot
Mohammad
#include <Oleauto.h>
......
char convertUshortToChar(unsigned short in)
{
char con='\0';
VarI1FromUI2(in,&con);
return con;
}
and add Oleaut32.lib to the list of object/library moduals in you project settings.
just call that for each unicode character that you want to be ascii and write the result to file.
Two things:
a) The file system may be UNICODE, but shortcuts are ASCII text. Also ASCII functions like fopen are supported.
b) There is a much easier way to convert UNICODE to ASCII:
mbstowcs(unicodeStrBuffer, asciiStrBuffer);
OK, I did it, but I think that there is a problem with Windows mobile, and it is a big problem.
Till now, I beleive that you cannot create a shortcut to a unicode-named file, I failed to do that, File explorer was not successful, Resco Explorer was not better.
Worse, they do not tell you that you cant create the shortcut, they create the shortcut for you and when you try to open it they conclude that the path was not found!!.
Very bad huh?
Mohammad
I thought that all file names are in unicode?? Use my shortcut creator in GSMbeam file open dialog to try and make a shortcut to a file named like you said. If that shortcut dose not work send me the file in question and I will try and see whats going on.
Ok, I downloaded your program and tried to create a shortcut for an arabic-named file, simply it did not work.
I know its not a bug in ur program, its a bug in Windows Mobile, it is mainly a bug in the design itself, how does Micro$oft design windows mobile to be unicode based while non-ascii characters are not supported in the shell links, its really a shame.
You can be sure that this will happen with asian characters along with Farsi, Hebrew, Arabic and all non-ascii characters.
Programmatically, what happens is as follows:
1. A program converts a filename from unicode to ASCII to save it in the .lnk file.
2. If the file name contains non-ASCII characters, those will be converted to NULL character.
3. When the shell tries to resolve the link target it does not recognise the filename because some characters are NULL.
Thats what I found out!!
Take this file name for example (Arabic): 2مرحبا.mp3
Try to solve the issue, and please inform us whatever happens with you..

Mohammad
So the problem is how to get the shell to read unicode in lnk files. I re-wrote a lnk file in unicode to see if it would work but it would not. There are a lot of non english ppc users, surely this problem has come up before?
As an experiment I also made shortcut to a folder using utf-8, I think that contains arabic characters and also the ascii characters. After removing some garbage that my editor put at the front of the lnk file worked fine. Try making a shortcut in notepad and saving it as a utf-8 file then rename it on your device but make sure there is no extra characters.
أنا قادر على أكل الزجاج و هذا لا يؤلمني. -- I think those characters are arabic and they are copied of a utf-8 table site so if the shell can read a utf-8 lnk that contains english letters then maybe it can do the arabic too.
Actually, non English UNICODE characters are translated in to extended ASCII codes (128 - 255). When the system needs to translate these codes back to UNICODE it relies on code page definitions in the wince.nls file.
If your locale is properly set to Arabic and you have a valid nls installed (ether you have Arabic ROM or some sort of Arabic language support installed) you should be able to reference Arabic file names using ASCII links.
So, can I depend on string conversion functions we discussed before in this topic to convert characters according to my code page?
I have an arabic ROM installed on my Wizard, it is the i-mate rom on O2 device, so the arabizer doesnt work well, may be because the serial number of the O2 device.
Anyway, I should invistigate this issue on my friend's JamIn device, and we should come up with a workaround for this wiered problem.
Regards all,
Mohammad
OK,
I have tried creating a shortcut on my friend's arabic-enabled JamIn device, the shortcut refers to arabic-named file and it worked good.
levenum, you are right, it depends on the code page on each device, so your device will not be able to create a shortcut to an arabic named file.

Hi, i´m translating WM6.1 to Spanish, and to get full translation i have read there´s needed to get mxip_lang.vol and wince.nls spanish version.
For WM6 it can be dumped from Emulator Image, but there´s no image for WM6.1 still. Will work the WM6 files for WM6.1?, can i edit this files to translate them with any tool?
There are another files within the .mui´s and registry i have to edit to get a full translation?.
Thanks.
up... nobody knows nothing about those files or how to translate Start Button in a WM6.1 ROM?
I have translate the initflashfiles.dat and the necesary registry keys, but when my ROM boot it hang up at last boot screen and shows only the upper program bar. why?
Thanks
you was forget to add what device you try to translate
if you don't have SDK wm 6.1, the best way is take language from other device

I´m trying to translate WM6.1 for Trinity, the mui´s is not a problem, i got it´s from others devices ROMs, but the problems comes when i translate programs files and startup folders in initflashfiles.dat.
Thanks.
With Sktools you can export metabases mxip_lang.vol into .xml files . Also AKtools has import function. But I don't understand how it is work. I tried insert some new rows in metabase but sktools say: 0 records imported. May be anybody know how to import new record in metabase with sktools? Please, help me!
I successfully translate mxip_lang.vol !!! I used Sktools for dump this file. After that I translated all english records in to russian ( text file in unicode format). Then I have put DevPrepSP.exe utility ( with its configuration .xml file) and my .txt file in \Storage\MUI\ folder on my Qtek8310. I have started the DevPrepSP.exe and have added records in to mxip_lang.vol. It has worked!!!
My txt file has such format of records:
\MetabaseLabels
0#19#1;1049#31#Размер сист. шрифта:;
0#19#2;1049#31#Время нажатия:;
0#19#3;1049#31#Макет начального экрана:;
.................................................. ... ;
Where to find that

Hi there,
Where I can find Sktools?
With my regards,
I am developing an app to open text files in windows mobile.
sample of the code I am using
fs = System.IO.File.OpenText(Fname)
While (Not fs.EndOfStream) And (Not StopRead)
System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents()
fs.ReadLine()
RecordsInFile = RecordsInFile + 1
End While
fs.Close()
This code is used to count the records in the file.
I get error when trying to open files having non english ( for eg: ü) characters.
So I converted the file to UTF encoding.
The file opens properly.
But the non english characters are not dispalayed properly.
The problem is on windows mobile only.
But all these files open properly and characters displayed correctly on Windows desktop.
Is there any other method to open the files Properly?
Anyone help plz
I have been doing a Bulgarian layout for the HD2 default keyboard, and the result will be posted soon ( A very early version can be found in the HD2 forum) After some reading, I found (or suspect) that the input of the keyboard in Phone and compact mode is controlled by KDB files. So is the full qwerty keyboard in xt9 mode. My work is based on editing the russian layout files, and while editing the xml files is not a problem, the kdb is a different story.
Can these kdb files be opened and edited in a readable mode? Doing this might help others to create layouts for their languages not present at the moment.
Thank you.
To me, KDB files are encrypted databases of Keypass (http://keepass.info/)
http://filext.com/file-extension/KDB
1)Well, any good way to decrypt them?
2) While searching, I found at least 4 other types of files, ending with .kdb. On some sites there was info about HEX ID. Does anyone know how to get the HEX id of a file?( Just to be sure this is keepass file)
KDB files can be decrypted... as soon as you've got Keypass AND the key !
This is one of the most encrypted software in the mobile's world...
Don't even think about decrypting your file without these !
