Help me plz!
I always use the cleartype in my XDA2 'cause I need to zoom excel tables and others.
The text only in CT-mode readable.
Is anybody knows a software, what can adjust the cleartype, like in the iPAQ h4150?
There is no software (yet) that can change the cleartype for our devices.
You will be stuck at this ****ty cleartype from the iMate rom.
As far as I know all of the latest roms out there have bad cleartype...
Bad.. !!?.. it looks like somone have pissed on it. It´s all yellowish..
Come on you clever peeps... Someone work out how to alter one of the things so that if you upgrade to a cool new ROM, but with crappy CT, you can take the GOOD CT from an older ROM, and get it on your device.
It must be Software based obviously, but the problem is, it seems written into the base ROM, and not the Extended ROM...
So clever peeps - someone crack it for us?
Hello to everybody. First post from me in this great community.
First, I'm gonna start by telling you my initial problem. I've always been buying some second hand HTCs from ebay. I've already owned an XDA II, XDA IIi, Qtek S200 and recently a Qtek P3300, with various brand names. My problem was always, to have a greek keyboard that could handle 160 characters in SMSs and a greek contact manager that I could search easily scrolling the greek letters. Until now, I somehow was able to find a cracked or cooked greek ROM and use it without any problem. Until I bought the P3300. Most of you out there should know by now that there is an official A_C_E Hellas greek translation extROM which, if you load it in your "non Greek" P3300, it will lock it down. I've been trying to crack the protection which finally understood who it works (with the great help of andrew_sh, thanks a lot man, I changed my username if you still wonder who I am), but for some reason which I don't know, it doesn't work for the P3300. So, I finally gave up trying, for the only reason that I DIDN'T want to translate the ROM (English is more than good for me), just the 2 things I mentioned in the opening. So, I focused in these 2 and here comes the result.
There are 2 different cabs. The first is the original A_C_E Hellas greek keyboard, with registry tweaks that provides 160 greek characters support for SMSs, both for Windows mobile 5 and 6. It's been tested in 2 different HTC models and works like a charm. It SHOULD work for any Mobile 5 and 6 OFFICIAL ROM. The second cab, just translates the phone part to Greek, with the ease to scroll down Greek letters while searching for a contact. This too has been tested on 2 different OFFICIAL HTC ROMS and it does work. It should NOT work on cooked ROMS, so try it in your own responsibility. I know some alternatives have been posted by minotavr, by using resco keyboard pro with greek characters file and PocketCm Contact Manager, but it didn't satisfy me in any way.
So, I'm posting the cabs and I'm waiting for your tests and results. I'm emphasizing that they should be used with OFFICIAL WWE ROMS and with Regional settings set to Greek. I would prefer if we keep this tread in English, just for respect for this great community.

Appreciate your work man, i was looking for something like that for quite a while! I'll try it and I'll give some feedback, as soon as my phone unfreezes after the deistallation of "Sam Greek Leng.cab" file...
I'm waiting for anyone's feedback. I'm really curious in which HTC models will work.
Thanx in advance.
It works like a charm on HTC P3300.
But it surely needs updating. I use resco keyboard because it has large buttons, so i can easily and fast,write my text message.
Greece forever
Thank you synzeus for the feedback. I too tried the resco keyboard, but with the normal keyboard layout and thought it had a few bugs, so I didn't like it. Also I tried resco and other commercial and free keyboards with different layouts, but I guess I got used with the normal layout and feel, of the original one, so I was not satisfied with any of them. I know a lot of people that are satisfied with alternative keyboards, so this keyboard cab is intented for those who want a greek one, similar to the english one. But thank you anyway for the try. I'm waiting for feedback from anyone about the greek contact manager, especially in official WWE ROMs of other HTC products. Already tested with success in a Hermes.
Yeah.I forgot to say that the contact manager works too.
Keep up the good work.
Hey man nice job...
Working fine on my HTC Hermes too.
Keep up the good work and make this play with cooked roms too....
Problem in Qtek S200
After installing MarkoDiMarko_Gr_CM.cab on an HTC S200, device hungs up while booting. OS is WM6.1 Prophet Touch.
Any sugestions?
Sorry friend, I have already mentioned that it should work only in official WWE ROMs. There are dozens of cooked ROMs for various models out there and everyone integrates in them whatever application they want, including third party contact managers. So, replacing a cooked ROM's contact manager wouldn't be the easiest thing to do and unfortunately I don't have the time to try. The way for me right now is sticking to official ROMs, I'm done with cooked ones (and their bugs).
Oh, and one more thing. Now that you mentioned S200, I have to point out that after badly damaging my Artemis, I turned again to my old but extremely trustworthy S200 which works with the patched Greek ROM provided by andrew_sh, which works like a charm. So if you don't mind using mobile 5.0, this is another way to go.
Take care.
OK, it's ok with me, but how could I uninstall this keyboard or install another rom? As I mentioned in my first post, device does not boot so it cannot be connect to ActiveSync.
Your help would be most appreciated.
PM sent.
Good luck.
Dear Friend,
I want to tell you that I just upgrade my phone (Htc P3650 -Touch Cruise - Polaris 100) with the latest official wm 6.1 rom (HTC Touch Cruise-RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship) and I install your MarkoDiMarko_Gr_CM.cab
The phone doesn’t work and I take the message "A problem has occurred with cprog.exe"
The contacts menu does not open and I can't make any call.
Thank ’s
At past exactly 14-01-2006, I had try hard, to Localized contacts alphabetical index without any result.
I encourage you to continue to try for that result.
This is the most usefull thing for Greeks.
Hello g_dinos.
Sorry for the bad experience with your attempt. But the truth is that the 2 cabs are provided "as is" with no guarantee. You just try it and if it works, we are all happy. We had previous successful attempts into some other models, but I guess you were not so lucky. I'm assuming you have set the regional settings to Greek, right?
Anyway, what I can do for you is this. If there is an official A_C_E Hellas greek update for this specific ROM and you have it, you can send it to me and try to extract/compile the greek CM cab for you.
Take care.
Greek Contact Manager for every official HTC model!
Well, after a while, it's now tested ant it works.
Greek Contact Manager for every official HTC model!
After g_dinos bad experience with my file, he sent me the touch cruise greek update and I built a new cab for his HTC. But before I managed to sent it, he already built his own, based on my cab and tested it with success. By the way, mine works too
Anyway, g_dinos prooved that a greek contact manager cab can be made easily for various HTC models. So, he should have the honour to post the file and instructions (if he wants). Thanx again friend.
Keep up the good work greek guys out there Have fun translating.
MarkoDiMarko your answers was so instant and you was so helpfully !!!
I confirm that your two cabs works fine at my phone (Htc P3650 -Touch Cruise - Polaris 100) with the original rom (HTC Touch Cruise-RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_3.13.405.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship).
I want to give you a big thank you for your help!
No more need to buy phones from ACE-Hellas only for Greek Localized contacts alphabetical index !!!
Greek Contact Manager for Polaris
To get things a little straight.
MarkoDiMarko_Gr_Keyboard.cab should work on official WM 5.0, 6.0 (edit: NOT 6.1)
MarkoDiMarko_Gr_CM.cab should work on official WM 6.0 .
MarkoDiMarko_Gr_CM-WM6.1 should work on official WM 6.1 .
The last one was tested by g_dinos today on Polaris. (thanx again)
Have fun.
HTC touch cruise (Polaris)... OK
GREAT JOB my friend GREAT JOB.
Now i have to LEARN GREEK TOO...HA HA HA
Gr_Keyboard for wm6.1???
If someone could help, a_c_e has released 6.1 version for polaris... someone could extract the keyboard?
Is there anything for M-Amine 2.0 ?
I have put this cooked rom in my Ace-Hellas Touch Cruise and all that is missing is a greek keyboard and a Greel contact manager.
Thanks in advance.
XAPHS
used with ROM "Artemis Touch 4.02 Full with 4 sided cube"
As mentioned by MarcoDiMarco, it does NOT work with cooked roms, that is why I am stucked with my brick now! It freezes while bootloading and cannot even bring it to activesync to flash a new rom.
As with the previous user (s_panos), any help will do.
best regards
P.S. Should have been more carefully, me malakas!
However, it worked fine with "HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R"

You need to install an SIP (Keyboard) that has both Arabic and English, I would suggest Finger Keyboard, just search for "Finger Keyboard 2.1 VGA"

Clear but I mean the external qwerty keyboard (slide out keyboard), found a solution for the Touch Pro 2 but seems not to have same keyboard layout...
external Arabic keyboard solution
My device is Samsung i780 running wm6.1.
I had the same problem, and the Mobidiv localization was totally useless to me because the it could never utilize the external keyboard.
The only Arabization solution that worked is Paragon LE
The trade off with Paragon's Arabization is that it only allows Tahoma font, no matter what you select in any program
Working fine on my Touch HD; tested with many many 6.1 & 6.5 ROMs without any problems.
Moderators are pleased to move this topic if I posted it to wrong forum, sorry.
I was shocked when tried white-energy's Feather Desire HD Build with the 100% translated Serbian language. Tried some more ( Bulgarian, German ) and found them perfect too. While waiting for white-energy to support ext4 data partition on SD card I decided to try andrewf403's AF403 DesireHD rom. I've installed Gingerbread keyboard ( search Marketplace for "Keyboard from Android 2.3" ) there and got the same results as with Feather Desire HD Build. Now, the catch is ( thanks to xMareXx ) not to manualy choose your language ( you'll lose your location in Clock widget and get some more force-close issues this way ) but go thru Setup process again setting your language there. The keyboard itself isn't required and you may continue using default HTC or any other keyboard. Serbian keyboard from Gingerbread is Cirilic only so I'm using HTC's wich have very well supported Serbian latin characters. I didn't try this in other roms, but I'm sure it will work on Desire Z based roms too. If somebody try on Desire or Evo rom, please tell me the result.
i am using projections desire based NAND ROM.
sorry, i can't give any feedback for multilingual improvements that result due to installing the gingerbread keyboard as you have suggested. this is mainly because i am not a multilingual user so i don't know what to look for, neither will i understand any language i switch to for testing
but i just wanted to say thanks for the information about an EASY way to install a keyboard! sometimes, i don't think about the simpler ways! the installation experience this time was magnitudes better and easier than the last time i changed a keyboard (added droid x keyboard to phiremod's skinny evo some months ago).
guys Im new here and I'd like to ask for help about the android keyboard.
I recently updated my phone for 2.1 to 2.2 froyo. mod version is Open Swift 4.4/ Cyanogenmod 6.1.2. kernel is 2.6.29
Can anyone here teach me how to install the original LG T9 keypad. cause even when the phone is vertical i still have the full qwerty android keyboard. My thumb is to big for a small keyboard like that and the t9 keypad works great for me.
