* key does not work like on Dash/S620 - Dash 3G, Snap General

I used to be able to press the * (asterisk) key on my old dash/excalibur phone to toggle full screen in apps such as slingplayer.
But I have noticed that the * key on my new HTC Snap (s522) is not recognized by many apps. On my S522, the asterisk is a "alt+" function, but even if I press the ALT key first, then the "A" key (which has the * on it to), the app wont recognize it.
I also found that when playing doom4ce, when you try to exit by pressing the "Y" key to the Prompt "Exit", it also will not work
Can anyone give me any clues as to how to fix this - such as modifying some keymap file?
If so, what is the name of this keyboard file and where is it located?
Any tips on how to modify it would be greatly appreciated!

What rom are U running? If you are running 3vo custom rom, keymapping is built in just need to enable it (english UK, USA....etc) if you are not. Check the sticky (Rom Dev. Section) you will find a tutorial over there.
I hope that helps

Keyboard input in CKE or CEdit

Hi
I have written about it in thread of one ROM but I decided to try to change ROM and problem still exists so I guess that problem is not about ROM, and that is the reason why I'm making new thread here. Nothing changed from last time I wrote about it so let me quote myself
I've got one problem. I want to use my Wizard to edit c++ code so I've installed CEdit trial and CKE but I have got same problem with both. When I want to type < in Word or Notepad I simply press Blue+K+2xSpacebar(while holding Blue) and I got it. But this way doesn't work in CEdit or CKE. I can write ( in this programs but when I try to modificate it with Spacebar nothing happedns (by nothing I mean that no character nor free space appears). I hope someone can help me with this, please.
Sorry for my English.
EDIT: Included applications, like Total Commander, works fine.

XT9 Fix released on HTC asia :-D

Well, after I installed it, it doesnt default to Xt9 any more when I go to new messages
Sweet!
can't find this, can you send the link?
this is fantastic!
what ROM are you using ? will this work with any ROM (and ROM language) ?
i would appreciate the link also!
here is the cab file, it's actually just a registry setting fix.
HTC-DUAL-TOUCH-XT9-TO-ABC-FIX
The registry concerned is:
Code:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)
A friend gave me this link as I am also having a problem with the HTC site.
Enjoy!
oh my god it works !!!!
i cant believe how simple that was !!! thank you so much for the registry entry, i can use my phone to text again !!!
it's great!
this was the most anoying thing on my new dual.
tx a lot,
pirlone
Doesn't work for me
in fact it screws my device up!.. it shows the ABC being as the default input, but I can only type the first letter in each key, multiple presses just repeats the same letter
I guess I will have to reflash the OS.. otherwise I now cant use the text input on the keypad anymore!
works on mine. thanks, dtm for letting me know about this.
Maybe doesnt work on mine becos Im running the WM6.1 Nikki project OS ??
Anyone else that has installed this using this Version?
Can you help me? I am begiiner having Dual 2 days. XT9 is really anoying esp for NON english users.But I cannot fix it as it is described. Can you show me step by step what to do? Thanks
It does not work for me!

Please help me. I am a new user having Dual 2nd day. I was trying to install it but it does not work. Can you describe step by step for the beginner what to do? XT9 is realy anoying esp for NON english users.
Hi, just copy the cab to the phone and install it. Maybe you need to softreset your Niki. (open the battery case, the reset button is left to the USB connector).
Cheers
Michael
I love this and it is working well for me. My only issue is when using the touch keypad software, when you type it highlights the letters and take a few micro seconds to move to the next so if I am typing a sentence, and press space,it deletes that entire word or atleast the last few letters that I typed :-( So the only way to solve this is not text that fast or use the hardware keypad.
Wow I noticed so many people reposting this when this was posted a long time ago.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm this is working on my wifes elf also
Finally there's something to kill XT9
Change Mode from ABC to XT9 or XT9 to ABC.
Hey everyone!
First, I wanted to start out thanking muzikfreakah for the link to the .cab file and the posting the Registry path that needs to be modified. I used these as a base reference for the work I completed on my phone. Instead of wanting to go from XT9 to ABC, I wanted to change my phone from ABC to XT9.
Initially I used PHM Registry Editor to make the necessary change to the Registry value you noted. Shortly thereafter, I updated my ROM to WM 6.1 so I had to reapply the settings manually. This got me thinking. Why not just create a quick .cab file for myself, saving me time in the future. This is exactly what I did!
Attached are two .cab's I created a while back (just never got around to uploading them). The first .cab (SP_Default_ABC_To_XT9.cab) modifies the appropriate Registry Key, setting it to 1 (defaulting to XT9). The second .cab (SP_Default_XT9_To_ABC.cab) does just the opposite, changing the value to 0 (defaulting to ABC).
Final notes before I part -
File Sizes: The file size of each of my .cab's is 1.07 KB, as it only contains the necessary Registry Key change. The link muzikfreakah provided brings you to "HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab". This file size is 20.76 KB, as it appears to use a more complex method of making the necessary Registry changes.​Company and Application Name: After my .cab is installed, it will display in the Installed Programs list as "Seth_Polley Default_XT9_To_ABC" (or vice versa depending on .cab used). After installing the other .cab (HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab), the following is displayed in the Programs list: "Customization Customize_Tool".​
In summary, either file will work for changing from XT9 to ABC. While 20.76 KB is nothing by today's standards, you can go smaller yet by using my .cab's (about 1/20th of the file size). Additionally, my .cab's provide a more descriptive name in the Programs list. Pick your poison! To 'install' the Registry modification, simply move the .cab to your phone, execute it, and follow the prompts.
Feel free to PM me if you have difficulties accessing/downloading the files. If you are concerned about using my files, feel free to open the .cab (can use an application like WinRAR) and review the contained "_setup.xml" file to verify this .cab will only make the changes I noted above.
Best Regards,
Seth

[rel][i780] More configurable HW buttons...

Hello...
A small app in attachment. It SHOULD add possibility of configuring 3 more buttons
of any WM6.1 Samsung SGH-i780...
Unfortunately, only application shortcuts may be assigned (namely no <command> commands)
any chance to change the hold red button? ive been wanting to remove the keypad lock and change it into s2u2.. so far no software can do that
patch does not work
Well, it works in my case
edited a few things in cab to allow installing.. now it works!
thanks _TB_TB_.. this is a great addition
still asking if its possible to also change the keylock on the red hold button?
None I'm aware of...yet. Patience
It's great stuff, work fine BUT
"Start Hold" is not working on my BKHE1
can't install this on my J2/I2 version i780.. something about system permission in the installer cab.

Hello.
Can You post that changed cab (of course with TB_TB_ premission)? I have also problem with installation (lack of permission). Maybe it`s a problem with my official I1 WM6.1 ROM?
I have found that Your CAB can be installed, but there is some conflict with RealVGA, becouse without RealVGA it instals and run properly, but after instaling RealVGA system don`t permit to install it.. Weird..
WM 6.0
How to install on WM 6.0?
Best regards.
thank u for this fantastic hacks!
never try this patch to russian layout+EFN 5.0 - cos u you will need to hardreset.
Nice Hacks
Thank you, for the hacks
I'm also getting the permission error whenever I try this. I'm using EFN's 96DPI 5.0 Standard ROM. How do we fix that? I would really love to be able to change the End Key Hold short cut to point to the regular task manager 'cause the Samsung Task Manager looks funny when used on a 96 DPI ROM.
Thanks!
*nevermind - problem solved*
Can someone please post solution for the permission problem? How did u fix it?
Author please post solution to fix permission issue.
Thx

Tilt2HWKeyboard.cab

Hi all:
Seeking some help regarding the keyboard fix for tilt2. It was working fine for me when I use one of the official EUR 6.5 ROMs. I just flashed to a 6.5 WWE Hong Kong ROM with CHT and the cab is not working. I believe possibly because of the different IME for Chinese or the newer version of the ROM?
Instead of a cab is there some keys I can change/add to registry to fix that problem? It's driving me crazy not able to type properly...
Thanks in advance!!
I eneded up using the hwkeyboard cab to get the right FN and shift key....then I added takrim's keyboard control and reassigned all the keys to the correct place. Here's the XML file you can load to get all the keys...unzip and open keyboard config -> load -> and choose the xml file.
thanks for the xml, im having an issue with my numbers and symbols not working and this one seemed to remap it correctly when i put it into the keyboard config. However, the OK button is the FN button, and the FN button is caps lock, and im not sure what the capslock/shift button does (but it doesn't do anything when i press it)! . Is there a way to swap them in the config? i tried to do it myself but could only find how to create a rule and i dont think thats correct. Thanks!
install Toleraen's Tilt2KWKeyboard cab....for my initial testing it fix the FN and shift key but nothing else...
so now I have both the hwkeyboard cab installed - to fix FN and shift. Then use keyboard config + my XML for the rest.
Give it a try
Again. All the stuff you need.
I have downloaded these three files, but I do not know how to load them into my Tilt2. They don't unzip to .cab files. Could anyone help me with some instructions here?
Thanks in advance
RQDHD2 cab
Iam now using this fix and it worked for me and i can still sync with outlook
When i use HW keybord SIP keybord wil also hide
Works beautifully, thanks!
I got to modify your 'Keyboardconfig.xml" one-by-one as it is not working for mine. This may due to different ROM version. Anyway, attached my copy of .xml file & I'm using WME version of ROM. Hope this help those having same problem.

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?
