Please HELP!

Im new to the whole Windows Mobile world and having serious issues with adding keyboards, fonts, etc... Ive always had Blackberry and im used to using and modding that, figured it was time to move on and got the HD2 and now im confused as hell! Can someone please post links, how to, to download the HTC IME keyboard? Also how to add fonts? this is really irritating.. Ive searched and searched and still cant figure out how to get the keyboards and fonts on my phone ... Any help is greatly appreciated!

Any1???????

Just curious, but where did you find the buttons and such? Posting link-backs will give us a chance to see what you are talking about instead of trying to guess.
Did they not have instructions on how to install them?
Did you perchance download the versions meant for chefs, that are designed to be cooked in the kitchens and not installed directly?
Also, for me, please refrain from big caps in your post title when asking about such matters. Let's leave that for the folks with bricked phones, k?
While we are on the subject of etiquette, posting a bump less than 24 hours after your original post is a wee bit pushy. Especially when that bump doesn't say "Bump"
So hit me back with those links and I'll see if I can help you a bit.

Adding fonts into WinMo is much the same like WinPC. Just put it into \Windows\Fonts directory.
But on further reading and 2nd guessing what you are trying to say above, it appears that you want to be able use that installed font when the keyboard is activated. Is that correct ?
Isn't HTC IME keyboard already available in the HD2 ? Or are you looking for different language input ?
FYI, I had a bad experience with trying to add Traditional Chinese input capability when installing an extracted HTC Ezinput IME from another stock ROM. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611894&page=2
State clearly what you are trying to achieve so that others can help.

Actually, this forum is for people to help people. Voluntarily. As in, for free. When you ask someone for help, it is generally considered a good idea to adhere to certain protocols, such as being polite and thankful for what help you do receive.
Now, since you obviously are not interested in my help, I leave you to the graces of others. I am also adding you to my ignore list, since you decided to call me a "smartass". Good luck to you.

Zen, Thanks for the reply! When i connect my HD2 to the PC (running on Vista) i cant access ny Windows folder on the phone for some reason, so i cant add a font .. No, the HD2 does not come with the IME keyboard. I am just looking for a English version to download for a Windows device.. If i google it, everything comes up for a Droid.

Was you phone connected via ActiveSync or "Disk drive mode" ?
I can't remember off my head but one of them - I take my bet on ActiveSync - will make Windows folder inaccessible. You could have copy into "My Document", remove phone from PC and then move it again via File Explorer.
I still don't get the part about HTC IME that you don't have . What it the ROM version you have ? Go to Start > Settings > About Phone > Software Information. Post the info.
There is Swype, Finger keyboard in the forum. Search for it.
Gotta go offline 24-hr in the next 15 mins or so.

IME stands for Input Method Editor i.e. on-screen software keyboard.
I am using QQ pinyin input which allows me to input Traditional Chinese. The option to select HTC's default IME, which is called Ezinput, is still there. I do not see the need to use HTC IME since QQ pinyin input has all the capabilities and more. Since HTC IME is in the ROM, I can't remove it either without flashing a cooked ROM.
So how do you type/input text into any apps ?

To make the windows available you need to have your PC set to show protected files. On a side not please watch the swearing in the forums.

You want something like in the screenshot.
That's the QQ input I talked about. No, I don't think it is suitable for you since you do not require chinese input.
Let me dig around. Just keep watching this post.

Yes sir, Exactly like that 1. How do i go out installing that?

Take a look and consider:
Fingerkeyboard2 v2.1 (freeware)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
Resco keyboard (commercial)
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/indepth.asp
One thing, I wish to point out is that the version date seems to pre-date WM6.5 actual release. I came across one software which allows for Chinese input, released in May 09 but had read forum complaints about paid users who was not able to get it to work on WM6.5 and that software company acknowledged it. I finally settled on QQ input although it is still in beta which I normally would not even consider installing.
Perhaps try out Fingerkeyboard2 first since it is free and also, you can post questions if the need arises.

What do I do with my PPC 6700

I bailed out on my sprint account years ago. I've been able to cruise the wireless net where hot, but what else can I do with the phone.
Is there any hope of reactivation or even selling the unit
Has anyone successfully flashed an android o/s on it ?
Sorry for all the Q's
Tony

Just found mine in a box of old stuff wanted to know the same thing , It was a great phone but now without phone service to it wondering what use it will be ?

This forum will not allow me to post the links to the Android and Familiar downloads and instructions. So, I will try a message.

I have the same issue with an Alltel version of the HTC Innovation, PPC6700.
Can it be revived anywhere?

Im working on putting the android system on mine and hoping to remove the phone applications and use it as a media player. Im not too sure what else I can use it for.

I am planning to use it as an in-car mp3 player.
For now I will just use the windows 6.5 that is on it.. but it would be nice to get android or a base linux distro working on it. I want it to offer windows networking (samba) so that I can just drag songs on to it from inside my house.
I'm actually a bit excited to put it to good use. I currently just use it for windows phone development (testing).

I too just unearthed two of them & put the tinkerbell 6.5 ROM on both of em. Needed to do some in-building antenna troubleshooting and they worked GREAT! I had wanted to make them little video players for the kiddos, but i'm afraid they'll dial 911. So for now, they sit patiently on my desk.

Do you have any info on the tinkerbell ROM?

Ready Made Andriod Apps

Hi Everyone,
Im new so go easy lol
Im wanting your help with regards to my thesis im doing at University. Im conducting an experiment with regards to people interacting with my andriod application. Its going to be the most simplistic application and probably only needs 1 button ie 'enter' and Im wanting to find out if there are any ready made andriod apps out there, fully sourced etc for editing and publishing... Or starter kits that input the code for you. I have no software dev experience and could use some help, as I say im just looking for a smal app with just one button that says "enter" really, but allows me to put a logo on... quite basic
If anyone can help with this, that would be greatly appreciated.
Craig

Welcome to XDA
In the Android SDK (Software Development Kit) There are usually about 5-10 example apps for each version of Android (such as Android 2.2 or Android 3.0)
They are very simple, such as a notepad app, or a business card manager. And they are great ways to learn if you dissect them and poke around.
Have a look here to get started:
http://developer.android.com/resources/index.html
Good luck!

Thanks very much, thats really much appreciated

If your app is indeed that simple, private message me if you need something coded.

[Q] Another wp7 total noob, ex simbyan user !

Hi all! Like I've said it in the title, I'm a total noob on wp7 area! So I have a few questions for you! I've recently bought an OPTIMUS 7, found a gps app after a big research (nokia drive) but I can't find any way to port a java app to my device, since the manufacturer didn't put java on Optimus ROM. My question is: is there any way to port .jar apps to this device?
Thanx all and very much apeciated your hard work for those like me!

hi, and congrats on your new phone. as i can see, if you are able to load nokia drive, you have already unlocked your phone! unfortunately, as far as i know, there is no way for the moment to run .jar app on wp7. you could try to check the wp7 development forum to see if there are any project working on the specific app you are looking for.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=607
hope it can help, and enjoy your new phone!

thanx for your answer and for congrats. I do hope that wp7 develops more and that we can have acces on system folders like symbian platform. I totally love this phone and it's my dream to make with it things that symbian allows his users to do.

you know, there a hack or an app here, on XDA to create folders, not officially but ofc it does the work. A quick search will help you.

I know, thx for the tip. Already used it, unlocked my device by reg modification, used (a lot) Tom Installer, I'm waiting for touch experience to be released and try it, or another coocked rom witch will give me full acces to my phone. I'm looking also for a taskman wich can give me the oportunity to close running apps, not just see them and after that use the BACK Arrow until i'm back on home screen. Maybe microsoft will give us the chance to use our phones not just download what they want and and in rest to stare at it.

[Q] Use phone as external RFID/NFC reader to PC

Hello all,
I wonder, is it possible to connect your phone to the PC and use the phone as an external RFID reader? (Preferably with unix support)
The phone does not need to be usable meanwhile.
Thank you in advance
(I have a Galaxy S3)

i think its not possible, because doesnt exist an nfc client for pc...

Certainly it's possible.
You need to write an app to handle the intent.
It would have an intent filter in it.
Code:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.DISCOVERED" />
</intent-filter>
You open a server socket to handle connections.
On the desktop side, you write an app to open a connection and do something with the data when it comes in.

Thank you for your answer. But do you know if there already are any finished solutions for this? Since I'm no developer.

I would hand you an app on a plate, but my cheesy phone doesn't do NFC.

I can't give you link because I'm a new user here, but search the play store for "NFC Relay"
It creates a server on your phone - connect to that server from your PC and you will have a console interface where you can send and receive commands.

There is no such app on GP... Did you mean THIS ?

It's in the play store for my phone.

HID Proximity
Maybe someone on this thread can help me? I have been looking for an app (that a co-worker of mine HAS on his phone!) that will let me scan my HID Proximity badge for work to let my phone let me into the building. I know it's possible because he showed me him scanning his watch and *CLICK* the door opens. CRAZY! I WANT IT! lol He directed me towards this website, and I can't find squat.. Not sure if he's some crazy hacker extraordinaire, but I trust him enough that XDA is definitely where he got it. Can anyone help me?
THANK YOU!
