Installation Problem - Paragon Software

Hiya All,
I'm trying to install Hebrew language extender on my Imate Jam rom 1.12
I'de a previous version installed which was fine, tried to uninstall and install a new version because of some minor problems which I though that will be solved in the newer version.
The problem is that during the installation, the install wizard tries to install tahoma and tahomabd fonts to the ppc device and fails in that operation.
The exact error message is "Can't copy C:\Windows\Fonts\\tahoma.ttf", yep with double "\\".
I've also tried to copy the original version which I'd but stayed with the same results.
Any opinion on how to solve this mistery ?
Thanks in advanced,
Bright Star

Sorry, I can't help you with that, but I can confirm that this software is very bad for your Magician.
I purchased the Danish version and ran it for some time. During that period I had a LOT of problems with the BT icon dissapearing.
I started noticing that after a hard reset, the icon was always there until I installed the Language Extender, and then it was gone! Sure enough, since I stopped using this program, my BT icon problems has nearly dissapeared.
So unless someone comes up with a better idea, all I can say is hard reset your Magician and don't use this crappy software again

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro.
Is there anyone can help? There will have no problem after hard reset, it seems one of the programs causes this problem. But does anyone know the reason? Is it memory insufficient?

when I press "New" button in order to write a new SMS (text message) of my 818pro. The content of the message is just a blank screen, I can do nothing with it except closing it. This also affects on MMS and Email.
Is there anything corrupted?

This reminds me of something yes. Could you please do these things and reply with answers to my questions ?
a) How much space do you have remaining on your device (how much free ram) ?
b) Go to Start -> Settings -> Installed Software or hows it called (the place where you see what software is installed) and tell me if the list is still there. Do you see your installed programms in the list or is it empty ?

c) Can you uninstall or install new software ? Please test with some small CAB file on your device.

Hello Spatzm,
Thanks for your reply.
a) 23.85MB RAM left
b) ce-star suite v2.8 r2a
c) yes, i can uninstall and install new software.
--> this problem exists right after I sync the data and then press soft reset button. Is this the point? because whenever I press reset button, the SMS I wrote disappear even my pda has been just done a hardreset.

I dun think "Arabizer" is installed. Is it a program? or something about "Arab"?
Anyway, I can't find it from "Remove program". Tks.

I hardreset my 818pro again, but never press the soft reset button, so far ---- OK!!! Why the reset button cause such problem on serveral version of ROM?
AKU2.3.1, AKU3.2, AKU3.3

Arabizer is a program which enables your device to show arabic fonts.when i install it on official roms,there is no problem but when i install it on pdamobiz roms then i have a blank new sms window.as i said,after disbaling the arabizer it works again.hope it helps.

Probably a ROM issue then. If you recall my reply above with the few questions. I initially had in mind that you might run into the security stuff (certification messup) issue but this is not the case.

You have the answer right there. The registry is only written back periodically. After doing any changes you should not quickly follow up with a soft reset otherwise any new information will be lost. At the very least switch off and on again before doing a soft reset. This is not a ROM fault it is simply that writes to the registry are not carried out immediately.

Hello Mike,
Thanks alot for your explaination. The data cannot be written immediately, so that should not press soft reset button right after a SMS (text msg) is written. This question is answered well.
However. My main problem is why the SMS writing page became blank and never recover until a hardreset? I had this problem after sync PIM and then pressed soft reset button.

scott4, nice to meet u Do u come from HK?
I have the same problem before...
At that time , I used AKU2.? (forget XD) and ce-star too!!!
After hard reset for about a week.....the problem will appear again= =
SO i always reset -> blank -> reset -> blank -> loop....
until I upgrade my 818pro to 2.3, ...
and I don't use ce-star again....since it always hang= =
firstly i use monster chinese...but i found that the font is very ugly.....
so at last , i don't use monster chinese anymore, I only copy mingliu font from my winXP, and edit the registry to let my 818pro can read chinese....
Also , I download the Chinese input method from monster website, but without using monster XDDD
I don't know it's the problem of AKU? or ce-star? or just i'm very lucky.......
I want to upgrade to AKU3.3 too!!! many people say that it's very fast when you compare 3.3 to 2.3.........i wanna try it~>< But now....I'm afraid the SMS blank problem will appear again= =XD

it's the problem of cestar, i used to have the same problem with cestar installed, after uninstall it the problem was gone

[ROM] [HP iPAQ 900c] [WWE] BR WM6.5 (21820) newer build!

I couldn't wait until July to release this... new build of WM6.5 that fixes the keyboard issue (but the SYM key still works, which was disabled by Montecristo's registry patch) and the device.exe issue (according to keyx's A2DP instructions)...
WM6.5 build 21820 for the iPAQ 910c/912c/914c Business Messenger:
21820br0609 download here
Known bugs/fixes:
- Right softkey on "Clock" homescreen panel requires this fix by EREZYAD (thanks!)
- I accidentally cooked .NET CF 2.0 into this ROM instead of 3.5. You can still run version 3.5 using these instructions.
This ROM features HP's newest firmware base, meaning increased max volume and other fixes. I have removed the following OEM junk:
- Cyberon Voice Commander
- iPAQ Tips, Help & Support
- HP Photosmart Mobile (and screensaver)
- Snapfish uploader
- HP custom IE homepage
- HP Today theme (and other customizations)
- Google Maps (old)
- Goolge Search (old)
- iPAQ DataConnect
(...since the new WM6.5 AutoConnect feature does the same thing)
This ROM contains the following little additions:
- NumBattery
- GPS Viewer
- Backlight Controller 0.9.5.2
Once I get around to making some new OEM packages for my favourite freeware apps, I'll bundle those in the "m" series next month:
WM6.1 21042br0709m "motherload" - pending
WM6.5 21820br0709m "motherload" - pending
INSTRUCTIONS FOR FLASHING:
1. Get a microSD card sized 2 GB or lower (SDHC won't work) and format it with regular FAT filesystem. Copy my FLASH.DIO to the root of the card. Insert card into your device.
2. Put your device into SDLoader mode by holding VOLUP+OK(button on right side) and pressing RESET. Make sure your battery has a decent charge (over 50%) and isn't connected to any USB charge or sync cable (or else your device will just go into RUU mode).
3. Watch the magic... SDLoader will check the file integrity, flash to your device ROM, do a clean reboot (can take a minute longer than usual) and then go into the "Welcome to Windows Mobile, tap here to continue" stuff.
4. If you run into any problems, repeat steps 1 through 3 with a FLASH.DIO that has worked before (i.e. you can make one from HP factory ROM update using Paloma's instructions posted here)

DONATION?
- I've never made a donation on xda-devs

I'm downloading it

It works like a charm! No bug at all till now! Fast and Stable! Just the Clauncher doesn't work, but maybe it's my problem!
The issue with the keyboard is fixed! Great Job

This would seem to confirm that despite what HP says, the "Rogers 910c only" OEM files are compatible with the 912c and 914c.

I could not make the dump your rom ... I could not use the xip for my roms ...

You can't dump the whole thing because I used keyx flex kitchen; there are too many files to use the old (dumpable) method.
However, you can extract the xip from my FLASH.DIO using this command:
osnbtool -d FLASH.DIO 1 xip.bin
Then xip.bin is your xip; you'll want to insert that into an original 80 MB TEMPLATE.ROM (i.e. whatever you've been using to cook so far) using
osnbtool -c TEMPLATE.ROM 1 xip.bin
Then delete your previous TEMPLATE.ROM and rename TEMPLATE.ROM.NEW to drop the ".NEW" part.

RE: Opera Mini... it works for me on this ROM.
RE: Your app with SMS... try disabling the on-screen message for new text message in Sounds and Notifications control panel.
The difference with this ROM is that it is a new build. Mainly that fixes the keyboard issue, which was in the OS.

Are you working on a multilanguage version?

Which .net Framework is included in this ROM? If you run "Device update" by CRC (Excellent app!), it complains that the .net CF is too old. Never happened to me before....

Oh weird - I just looked and it is NetCF 2.0 (what????) which I guess was put in by my SYS source at ppcgeeks. I'll stick NetCF 3.5 in the July release, promise. For now, download and install the .Net CF 3.5 redistributable from Microsoft.

Dude, the Record button works just fine for me. Are you talking about hitting it once? That shows up as the VoiceCMD button in the Buttons control panel - it comes unassigned, but you can point it to the Backlight control (my personal favourite) or Voice Command or whatever.
The "Record" button requires you to press and hold down the button while you record a voice note.

Installation was unsuccessful

Guys help me please!!!
When i try to install some .cab file i've receive message ""Installation of [Program which is installing] for windows mobile.CAB was unsuccessful

what CAB file you are installing? maybe the CAB file youre trying to install is not compatible for your device...

- To restore to factory settings Go To Settings/System/Clear Storage input 1234 and tap OK... this will return all youre system settings to factory defaults (WARNING) this is like HARD RESET!

Any other advices ?

Try to hard reset your device this will restore everything back to standard
Hold camera and comms button press reset with your stylus keep holding buttons untill message appears on screen then release both buttons and press green send key
A message should appear saying formatting and your device will reset you will go through the set up like a newly flashed rom ie,, calibrate screen ect..
Or you can look on wiki for more
Also i see that you are having trouble installing those cab files you must make sure that the version you are trying to install is both compatible with your device and compatible with your windows mobile version

I fix the problem
Windows Vista makes me this problem, i tried to install .cab files on XP and everything works perfect
Thanks to all
Sorry for my bad English

arrrgh
nice to hear this!!!

no wonder Microsoft scrapped that crappy OS but now they are making an even worse pile of crap

I don't know about Windows Mobile but I had almost the same problem on Android, maybe this explanation can help you and you can look for your own solution then on the Windows Mobile side.

Have you updated to a newer genuine ROM?
I know this is an issue in the official Orange ROM upgrade.

as far as I know I have the latest official greek rom
I had installed gyrator2 and was afrait it might have caused this, however the problem persisted after uninstallation, even after a hard reset!

Well after searching a bit more I found the solution!
a) download this file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3920829&postcount=522
b) IMPORTANT! Create a backup of the original LargeTitlebar.dll on your /windows folder
c) Replace with downloaded file
d) Soft reset
If manilla 3d is not opening after the first soft reset, deselect it from settings -> today and then select it again and soft reset
voila, not it works perfectly

Glad you got this sorted. Thread closed
