Call for help: Contacts Chinese (pinyin) search and msyh fonts in 6.5 ROM

I am in China, and have upgraded my snap into the 6.5 ROM. I have two questions.
1. But I still could not seek contacts via the 26-key keybords, only 9 keys (T9) could be used. I've tried to install "pinyin seek.cab", but it does not work. Is there any solution?
2. The Chinese font in snap was ugly. I've tried to change fonts on 6.1 ROM, but I could not manage it on the 6.5 ROM. I tried to install the msyh.cab (14 MB), but it does not work. Any solutions?
Thanks.

which rom have you flashed? My one is tmob dash 3g, i flashed 112509, it works well for me. under \setting\tools\keymap config, select the right one for your snap.
in order to display chinese, i tried several times, at last i found one way to solve it. install msyhfull6.0(15M) first, restart, then install msyh(4M) which is extracted from snap asia 6.5rom, restart again.

I flashed this ROM "RUU_Captain_SNAP_CHS_WM65_2.03.723.2_refry", but i could not find the keymap config at "\setting\tools\".
And could you share the "msyh(4M)" for me, thanks.
My Email is [email protected].
thank you!

http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=513815 Just click the link. 4Mmsyh, official asia rom(6.1?). Sorry, msyh(4M) is extracted from c720w rom, not snap's.
my one is dash 3g and the keymap is totally different with other snaps. so i flashed the "RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.50.112509.rar" cooked by ookba which has included all kinds of keymaps of snap. For me, it's enough to display and input chinese character. I don't care whether the UI is cn or en.
it's said the offical asia rom would go wrong if msyh is tried to be installed. maybe a rumor.
If you needn't chinese UI. I think you will be satisfied with the rom i have mentioned. It works stably and includes lots of useful tools. and also, i have fixed some bugs of titaniuweather.mrsc, if you need it, i can send the fixed file to you.

Thank you.
MSYH font have fixed, with a 14MB font pack and modification in the registry files.
There's no keymap config in my snap, maybe a new ROM should be flashed.
I've tried RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.00.101009 without Chinese display. So I flashed to a Asia ROM. I need further study in Hi-PDA, thank you!

Landscape touchflo3d?

Hi, I've been searching around but I've only found pages relating to having the touchflo3d interface in landscape on the original diamond and the HD
Is it possible to have it on the diamond2 as messaging is extremely difficult in portrait mode!
Thanks!

Hi, welcome to the forums.
If you install a ROM such as this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076 then you will get landscape messaging. Just turn the phone on its side.
Not sure if it does it on official ROMs as its been such a long time.

Alternatively you could install TD2 Tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536410) which has an option to switch on, under the 'TouchFLO Settings' tab the standard TouchFLO rotation function. I have done this and am able to write SMS messages in landscape mode.
With this approach you do not need to change your ROM (I am currently using HTC stock ROM).
Hope this is of help?

Hi, thanks for the welcome.
I don't think I'm confident in flashing the rom yet as I want to make a backup of my stock rom for warranty reasons. Could you please point me in the right di8rection of doing this? I've used a dump tool but it's given me a bunch of RAW files..
Baldrick! that was just what I wanted! Thankyou for that

No problem...glad to be able to assist.
BTW - if you like TD2 and find it useful I know the developer would appreciate a small donation (I have)...he is working hard on the next version which should be even better.

New to HTC Mega

heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.

Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.

heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.

thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?

No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.

Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.

Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it

sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.

okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.

[Q] How to change keyboard type ?

I was looking for the solution but couldn't find one. Now i have CM6 rom on my tattoo and seems that there is only one keyboard type when writing sms which is qwerty. When i bought the phone i remember that there was opportunity to change between qwerty and normal mobile phone keyboard type ( i dont know how it is called). My question is: Is it possible to change the keyboard type in this rom ? Or maybe there is a software or something like that to do that ? Thanks.

I suppose you have SPQRom installed. This rom has android keyboard, but the stock htc rom has Touch input, which suppord different keyboard types.
You can use this keyboard in SPQRom. It's called htc_ime and you can find it on stock htc rom. You can just install it. For me works fine.

Thanks. But it keeps crashing all the time... as soon as i choose new input method i get forced closure of the program.. Maybe it doesnt work on tattoo ?

Strange, cause I'm using this rom(0.4.1 version) and I've installed several times above file, and I never had problems. In fact today, after a restore, I installed it again and works fine.

[Q] Keyboard from other ROM

Hello
I have a question, as Im trying to build for my self a ROM. I using JPS as the base but it doesnt have desired keyboard language when the other one (my old stock rom) has it. Is there a way of moving that keyboard to that ROM? I tried moving the keyboard app but it didnt work.

U can use other keyboards(gingerbread keyboard, smart keyboard....) But if ur from asia, there wont be ur language. You would have to install asian firmware
