Swype problem - HD2 General

I've tried installing swype but when I chose the keyboard it says "Open of EnglishUS failed!" and doesn't show the keyboard up.
How do I get this to work?

The thread suggested is closed and i couldnt find the answer you were after either. I used to have this working but since i hard reset to save/clean up RAM the phone works great except i now get your error message. This only appears with v3.9 from the T2.
Based on various forums this is a common thing. Also stuffs up internet,email and many other settings (for some anyway). No fix on all of these forums except to use the Omnia extracted version 2.0. IMO this is quicker, the hold down key for numbers actually works unlike 3.9 which is very hit and miss. Sure it doesnt look as good as the keys are a bit smaller etc but use something like Lesscro skin and it looks great and actually works.
However for me anyway if you use Wifi and it can lock your phone or the keypad dissapears for some reason, turn Wifi off and it works like a charm and is very quick.
sorry for the essay

SLCPF Bug - keeps asking for Version 1-00.swf (Cube - TouchFLO)? Can't get it to work

guys, been searching the forum, but could not find a solution.
tried the UNO version and K's easy install cab, but I keep getting the following error, when trying to launch the cube by sliding my finger from bottom to top: "error: Unable to open URL: /Program Files/SCLPF/Version 1-00.swf"
edited the touchflo config - so it finds the flashlite to "/Windows/saplaywm.exe"
so that seems to be ok.
I use a german rom, so maybe it's the folder structure?
I would be really happy to receive a hint by someone in the know.
thx in advance,
mr. t.
saplaywm.exe should be pointed to your directory in program files/ flashlite something like that.
appelton - sry, I don't really understand what you mean by "saplaywm.exe should be pointed..."?
Do you mean saplaywm.exe should reside in the Windows directory?
I think it must be something different, I just copied the "saplaywm.exe" to that respective dir - to no avail.
Everytime I slide my finger from bottom to top, to start the cube, it keeps asking for the "Version 1-00.swf".
Any other ideas?
thx
Change Version 1-00.swf to StartMusic.swf. You're using someone elses cab which is why have you have this basic problem. You might want to use my cab instead next time.

What did you change/mod when you first got your diamond?

Hi Everybody!
I should receive my 2nd hand HTC Diamond Touch today.
With all the mods, hacks and apps on this here forum, I was wondering what was the first thing you changed on your handset?
For me I will be unlocking the device and hoopefully the ROM.
Any suggestions as to what to mod/hack next?
{?
The ROM because the retail ROM sucks!
My New (to me) Diamond
Changed the ROM to shaks 4.30 topaz, installed touch HD weather app, Background4all, Transparent slider and Glass Clock V2. Oh yeah, and the changescreen rotation application for landscape mode.
Look around and experiment with what you like and works best for you. The forum's a wealth of information if you take the time to search!
tried all the newer roms out there, and so far, the quickest bug free ROM ive used is duttys v4....its quick, with loads of memory left...(see ROM link in my sig to go straight to the ROM)
then, i normally change the clock, the top curtain, and then the slider.
I'm currently on

Very stable, I haven't had a problem yet. I've been heavily using it since yesterday and I haven't been able to find a bug or anything that bothers me yet.
You should try it, you will be amazed of how finger friendly it is!
Don't even get me started on how smooth it goes with scrolling!
Thanks for your replies so far!
I didn't get much time to play with my phone today. However, I have managed to de-brand and do a sim unlock. So for now, my spec reads:
ROM VERSION 1.37.405.1 WWE
RADIO VERSION 1.20 oliNex
PROTOCOL VERSION 52.26A.25.09H
I have tried to install a few apps, but failed. The "set up" files are all .XML and seem to open up in my browser????
{>
I think you didn't notice the .xml files are actually within the setup file.
The setups are .CAB files, you simply move them onto the internal storage and execute them within your mobile phone.
Have fun!
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Not sure what I am doing here?
I transfered the programs to the internal storage (my docs). However, there is no .cab file.
When I click on the program file, it either shows me a blank screen with the program name at the top or other folders e.g. open sensors or open GLES.
The programs I am trying to install are:
air horn
Diamond beer
htorch
WiFi monster
Many Thanks

When you download a program for example Diamond Beer (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamond-beer.html)
You will download a file called DiamondBeer2Installer-v0_1.cab
That is a CAB file. When you see that you copy it to the internal storage and run it from your mobile phone.
But sometimes (usually when it's made by real developers) you get a executable. Those are either to be run from your pc and with ur mobile phone hooked up using activesync. Or if it gives you an error when trying to execute it from your pc then most likely it's telling you that you aren't running windows mobile (means you're not running it from your mobile phone while you're supposed to), then it's the program itself (the actual and final .exe) and you will have to make a directory on your internal storage yourself and copy the .exe in there (No automated installation involved).
Sorry for the long and maybe senseless story but it's late here and I'm in a hurry.
Enjoy
Hello again and thanks for your patience!
I have downloaded said file. I used winzip to extract, then cut and paste the folder in my "internal storage" on my device.
Inside there are three folders:
_setup (which is the .xml file I was talking about earlier)
Diamon~1.000
Diamon~10001
When I click on the setup file, me device just goes to IE:
file:/internal%20storage/DiamonBeer2Installer-v_1/_setup.xml

t9 issue

Hi guys,
My new htc doesn't remember the new words added in dictionary after a soft reset, I have already contact htc support and they tell me that happen because is stored in memory RAM (WTF??).
Can I edit the t9 database and add the words? I have tried with "eT9MyWords" but doesn't work..
Thanks in advance.
does anyone have the same problem?
yes, i have
What ROM do you have?
What keyboard?
did you perform a hard reset to your device after you've purchased it?
I'm having the same problem and haven't found any solution. There is a T9Editor somewhere on the net, but it also doesn't work (at least for me).
I am thinking about buying Cootek TouchPal which also has T9 and can save user entered word, but I'd much rather have the HTC T9 Keyboard save my words...
Hopefully someone will find a way...
we can see this problem only on wm 6.5, becouse this OS store the file of t9 words in the ROM(why???). i dont want to use another keybord.
this problem was on my td2 before hard reset and after it.
I made a little (dirty) MortScript script that reads words from a text file and automatically enters them into the T9 database.
The script has to be run manually after every reset/shutdown or could be entered to the notification queue so that it is automatically run after every reset/shutdown.
Installation:
* Expand the zip file into some directory on computer.
* Edit the file "t9user.txt" to contain the desired words:
- one word/line
- be sure to keep the empty line at the end of the file
* Edit the 1st line of file t9user.mscr:
- this line reads: et9mywords_title = "T9 Meine Wörter"
- change the text between the quotation marks to the title of your eT9MyWords.exe
- I'm using the german version so the title reads "T9 Meine Wörter"
* Copy everything into a folder on your PPC and change to that folder on your PPC
* Start the included MortScript.exe to register the script file type ".mscr"
(This should not be required if you already have MortScript installed)
* start the script by "clicking" the file "t9user" with the MortScript logo...
The script should start eT9MyWords.exe (which is shipped with the Touch 2) inside the "Windows" folder and enter all words from the text file. Afterwards eT9MyWords.exe is automatically closed again.
It is quite an ugly workaround, but at least it works
PS: Feel free to improve my script or use it any way you like, but please report any improvements so we all can benefit...
Thanks!
I'll test it.
It works
Good job! It works well! For french WM version, the t9user.mscr file modification is "XT9 Mes mots".
Good job georg.madler!
not a perfect solution, but works fine!
the Portuguese title of eT9MyWords.exe is "XT9 Minhas palavras"
Thank you!
Hi!
Glad that my script is working for you...
I know this way is not very elegant, I'm looking for a way to add words directly to the T9 database without the use of eT9Mywords.exe allowing for "better performance" and maybe a way of extracting added words from the database to the textfile...
Bye,
Georg
Submit to HTC support
Dear all,
I'm also having this t9 issue and at the moment I'm using the script, thanks again.
I submited the problem to HTC support and they were responding that I was the first reporting this problem...
If you're reading this, it's probably that your Mega is also loosing the T9 entries... so report the problem to HTC, in this way they will perhaps take some time to solve it!
fix for this problem
View attachment MEG_S00015.zip
run in device.
Can you tell us where you got that file from and if it is working with all language-versions of the Mega?
Thanks!
Edit: I tried it and it works! But sadly this hotfix does break something else:
If you use the phonepad-style keyboard to enter text only the first letters of the buttons pressed appear, the word suggestions do show that the word is recognized and word in the text area is replaced with the recognized word after you press space.
For example if i enter my name "Georg" the textarea reads "gdmpg", only after i press the space button those letters are replaced with the correct word...

is there a possibility to have words added when adding them during texting? or do you have to always use a texteditor?

Hi,
What are the name of the system T9 file you are updating?
Thank you.
all htc mega have this problem.
Some months ago I reported this lack to htc support and they replaied me that they were preparing a firmware upgrade: htc support is pitiful.

Swype 1.54.28.7337 QVGA with LS fix

Proportionally scaled

More info on my blog:
http://marurban.netii.net/?p=95
I tested it on my HTC Wildfire. If someone test, please write if it works.
Isn't this warez?
EDIT: Tested, works for a few seconds, then FCes. Would be great if it worked, as I don't think the official Swype supports QVGA. What is LS fix?
Tattoo has a QVGA resolution, I tested it on Wildfire in the official version does not work landscape mode.
LS = Landscape
If on (tattoo) the official version works in landscape mode please delete the topic.
Well, your version doesn't appear to work at all...
Where can I get the original version to test? From market?
sadly i tried it and it force closes
Maby this help:
1. Delete current ver
2. Reboot phone
3. Install SWYPE

I'm trying this right now. I also tried the version without LS fix (with PT fix) and that FC as well, so the problem isn't in the LS fix.

Finnish layout for USB keyboards

First of all, I'm sorry if this is in wrong forum (wasn't sure if I should put this in development or not.)
Thanks to elouch for pointing out the file to be edited.
So, I edited the character layout file to get USB keyboards to work the same way as Finnish (maybe Swedish too?) ones. ä, ö, å all work, there are some special characters that aren't working yet, due to my laziness.
It should be clear that you need root to replace the file (either with root explorer, or adb/qtadb), should backup the file prior to replacing, and that I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING GOING WRONG.
Also I'm not sure if this was the right way to do it, but I haven't noticed any problems/oddities with Thumb Keyboard after editing the file.
Now with that said, grab the download, comment, complain about the keys not working so they can be fixed (at some point).
Just remove .txt from the filename and put the file to /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm and afterwards plugin a USB keyboard and try it out.

Thanks for posting this. Should work with my Swedish keyboards as well.
Do you think you could do a greek one, too?
Not really soon, because I'm not familiar with Greek alphabet/keyboard layout and in a few days I'm off to vacation....to Greece, lol
Hi Salleq, i`m trying to port italian layout but, after modifyed the .kcm as you, nothing it`s changed.
i`ve tried your file and it`s work great, so i don`t know what i`m wrong.
have you used same particular tool to modify the file?
thanks for the help

Fantastic job you did there, salleq.
Since I'm from Denmark, I would love to be able to use the Danish æøå. I have been looking in your kcm-file file, but I can't figure out what you did to make it work with the Finnish/Swedish characters.
Is it possible you could point me in the right direction. I have already made some changes to some of the other keys, to match my keyboard. Just can't find æøå anywhere.
Thanks in advance.
>>> Update: I figured out, what I was doing wrong. I didn't see you was using Unicode character codes. Easy to fix the keyboard. LOVE my ÆØÅ <<<

Hi and thanks for sharing this.
I have problems getting it to work. I copied the file to /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm but, even after reboot, I dont get any åäö with external keyboard.
Tried both with an ordinary usb keyboard and a targus bt keybord.
Is there something I have missed? A setting somewhere?
I copied the file both from QtAdb and from a shell on the pad.
The pad is rooted.
Android 3.01
The onscreen keybord is set to swedish and working.

Hi,
Yes. The permission is set to -rw-r--r--, a chmod 644.
I can't understand why it does not take effect.
I copied the finnish Generic.kcm to qwerty.kcm just in case.
No change.
I even tried to replace the Virtual.kcm but then the terminal emulator crashed when i tried to use external keyboard, so it looks like the os ignores the Generic.kcm

The best way to see what's going wrong is to go on terminal, type ''su'' press enter, and the type ''logcat'', after that plug the usb receiver or keyboard. If an error with the Generic.kcm occour then with logcat you are able to see the code line of the error and fix it...

Got it to work.
I had to remove KEYBOARD_LESS entry and all the gamepad buttons stuff at the end of the file. also moved < and > to alt-, and alt-. since that button don't have an to me known keycode.
But now it works at an usable level.
Is there a tool that can be used to find the keycodes, like xev in "ordinare" linux?
I still need to find the codes for my Targus bt-keyboard, which has an Apple layout.
Thanks for the help!!

Hi, I am looking for the same thing to my Xoom, and Targus keyboard
Found this tool that gives you the keyboard codes, I tried it and it works as far as I can tell
Hmmm.... I am not allowed to post external links...
But if you google: keytest.apk
it will be your first hit
I have not gotten further yet in making my own file, if you solve it I would love a PM
Here is Czech layout.
Works fine with localized Apple BT keyboard nad Iconia A500/3.1.
Should this work on ics roms also? have been fighting with this all morning and cannot get it to work. I can copy it to right place and so on, also corrected permissions but still no go. Any ideas?
I tried it at some point with an ICS rom but like you said, I couldn't get it to work. I remember googling about it some time ago but couldn't find what files are changed and used now.
It's not really a deal breaker for me, I'm not actually using an external keyboard but it was fun to test and get native keymap working. I might try some stuff later if in the mood but for now I have nothing unfortunately

I'm using external keyboard helper pro from the market for german layout. I looked in the settings, and it supports finnish layout too.
