Howto add extra language to Phonepad B&B 4.1 - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

I was searching for a way to add the Dutch language to the B&B 4.1 ROM of Tom.
I saw in the thread a lot of people where searching for this so i made a little howto
First of all i need to thank the guys from who i have gotten this here in xda (search & find):
- ctibor
- hiblopp
Well here we go:
Code:
1. Copy T9DutchLdb.dll to \Windows folder of Artemis.
4. Edit the Artemis Registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\IntelliPad
a. Incerease by one the value of the "LibraryCount" dword (in my case from 10 to 11)
b. Created a "Library10" dword with the value of 8. (This is for the Dutch language).
Soft reset and you can use the dutch language in Phonepad!
If you want to use another language not provided you must copy the appropriate T9<language>Ldb.dll to the \Windows folder.
AND
change the Library10 value to the value for your language.
These are the languages i found in another thread:
7=Danish
8=Dutch
9=Finnish
10=Hungarian
11=Norwegian
12=Polish
13=Romanian
14=Slovak
15=Swedish
I have added the dutch language file for people who want to make the change!

Hi RikP just did your settings and it seems to work fine thanks!
Do you know also a way to get the keyboard to recognize dutch words?
(or do I have to wait till i typed them all )

Thanks for the guide!

Did a quick search and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299036
Does it fix your problem?

T9
A better method would be the easy one . First you have to copy your t9 file directly in windows folder. Than select phonepad as input method (click on the little arrow beside the keyboard on the bar) and select Options... Input Method: Phone Pad. Select Options... Languages tab... Database... and select your language.
For t9 DLL's i downloaded t9languages.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290007.
I added Romanian in my phone and works great.
PS: Sorry my english, hope is allright.

I dont understand 1 thing you said

thanks
.uj
i'm thinking about leaving it as is because it's not only the Y and Z but all the signs.
so what i'm thiking is more to change only the mapping of the hard keys to the real ones.
or just find a replacement
this would be the best of all ... but now it's too soon to find one.
anyone has an MDA Pro english version dummy model keyboard (if it's like the original but without anything in) ?
OK guys,
Congratulations. Now that your stress is over, could you share your experience with us.
I will be going for my device coming friday.
Can you please give a step-by-step instruction how to change the German to ENGROM, and
how to change the keybord hardware and software/registry? :wink:

We do need first a copy of your registry to make the most of the keybord because neither I nor akira didn't do it.
The upgrade has 4 steps:
1. download the patched UpgradeRom exe
2. upgrade the MDA PRO with the latest JASJAR Rom - beware after this it's not usable
3. upgrade with the Radio only version
4. full reset (POWER + RESET)

I just hope it will not sound harsh, but you could have given some directions with, like, where to get 1) (the patched) upgraderom.exe, 2) which jasjar rom 3) which radio version.
I have the "JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301.zip", I believe the radio-only-package is "uni_radio_1_03_01.exe", but i'm missing the "patched upgraderom.exe".
Please don't expect we do all know everything, because if we did, we wouldn't have asked.
Thanks once again!

ok... i found the topic -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29362
here you go
Ok. Let's try it again.
1. get the JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301
1a. get the exe from the zip file - if needed
1b. unzip the exe file to a directory
1c. place the enclosed file MaUpgradeUt_noID in the directory
1d. run the upgrade
1e. it will get to the bootloader only MDA Pro
2. get the uni_radio_1_03_01
2a. get the exe from the zip file - if needed
2b. unzip the exe file to a directory
2c. place the enclosed file MaUpgradeUt_noID in the directory
2d. run the upgrade
3. cold reset - press at the same time POWER + the reset with the stylus
4. for the german keyboard on english ROM
4a. get a registry editor (like Resco)
4b. search the Change the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
4c. edit - Layout in decimal to 66567
5. softreset
6. enjoy
Thanks!
Well, yeah! That's another story and I really want to thank for the prompt response.
(btw, have you thought of putting the Radio_.nbf from uni_radio_1_03_01 into the folder of the extracted files from JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301, and then run the upgrade - I think this could make it in one step, instead in two)
What a nightmare
Finally after reading every bit of advice I have got my Jasjar back up with the new rom.
I was sweating like nobodies business.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the rom upgrade discussions. I think i'd have gone mad tonight without knowing others were in the same boat.
Great!
How did Akira change his YZ keys? Can you lift them off easily? Or do you have to open the device?

Does this registryhack change the whole keyboard to Qwerty or only the Y and Z.
Does the ENGROM have the Qwerty soft keyboard or is it still German?
Please clarify? :wink:

Re: here you go
Hi,
> Does the ENGROM have the Qwerty soft keyboard or is it still German?
> Please clarify?
after flashing with the new jasjar-rom the complete keyboard design is different from the german layout.
It is not only the difference from "y" and "z", the complete set of chars like "- / ( ) % @" are not where the are on the german keyboard.
Editing the registry will give you a 100% correct german keyboard - all chars are where they are printed - but with the english rom.

OK guys, thanks for your prompt reaction.
Now if I understand it correctly, the registryhack changes the "hard" keyboard layout back to german (qwertz), i.e. you can leave the keybord as it is and you don't go ripping off keys to put them back at other places.
Does the same account for the "soft" keybord, i.e on the touchscreen? Is it in Qwerz or is this in English, Qwerty?
> Does the same account for the "soft" keybord, i.e on the touchscreen?

Hi,
just checked it ... the hard keyboard is "qwertz" and the soft keyboard is "qwerty".

If you're talking about hardware keyboard, look at the Hermes Wiki or install Advanced Configuration Tool by Schaps.
Is this corectly i must only change the registry to use German Hardware Keyboard nomore files needed
Great Thanks
Restore local language support for sliding keyboard after upgrade to a different language ROM
This has been reported not to work, see below for another hack
You need to create Registry value of name "Locale" and type of "String" and data of "Localization ID" within
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
Localization IDs:
German = 0407

no. you have to read carefully the wiki. you will see there that you have to create it in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
the name of the key is Layout
the value (hex) of the key is 20407
do a soft reset via switching the device off (long button press of the on/off button) as it keeps your changes. otherwise you will loose your changes.
Thanks that works fine
this CAB does the registry entry for a german keyboard and installs the file (\windows\sym.0409.txt) for the german umlauts (that you get ä first and not á when you switch via dot + space)
Vielen Dank
Hello,
i've installed the rom HTC HERMES_CE OS 5.2.19949 Build 19949.1.2.0. and your tool doesn't work with this rom. Do you know what I can do to have the german Umlaute (äöü)?
Thanks a lot.
Greetz.
edit the file \windows\sym.0409.txt yourself. it is very easy.
have a look into it and you will see what i mean.

Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal). =qwertz
Thanks for the posts. I installed the rom, then I installed the tool of stan23. I looked into the registry and the value is 20407. When I want to use the hardware keyboard I can't write a "ä, ö, ü" not even an "á". I can't understand it.
check the following:
- is the file sym.0409.txt still there (maybe you have deleted it?) and have a look into it.
- is the value of the reg.key 20407 HEX
- when typing: make sure you press "a" then "dot-key" then "space-bar".
if this does not work, hard-reset.
if this does not work, try a different rom

SHARP W-ZERO3 WS004SH Change English Language

Hey guys sorry for late answer about changing language, I was too busy but I will upload files to change w-zero ws004sh language to japanesee to English. it is not flashing rom, it is %100 my method. İt took me 1 week to spend on.
First step
You need to download tascal software, I mean registy editor. Then you will find IMEU registry that value seem 1041, you must change it to 1033. Select IMEU and change its value to 409 than it will automatically change 1033. Now soft reset the w-zero.
Second step
By doing this, your w-zero will change in English. But your start menu settings and programmes will disseppear in menu. it will seem empty. To fixing this, you must copy start menu and startup folder in windows directory. Start menu and startup folders in attach. AGAİN You must copy it to windows directory.
I will attach all documents. Lengarm.cab is need to change it in Turkish you dont need to do it
http://rapidshare.com/files/109751554/Kurulum.rar.html
Any question just let me know.
Kemal Taha Hülagü
hi there ,
good job there
i wish that sharp release there devices em-one and w-zero for europe
nice devices.
By using this method, you can change nearly all sharp devices, I think. Start menu and startup folder is from benq p50 device.
Yay!
THANK YOU, hekimbaba!
This looks great. I have admired these units for a long time, but don't speak Japanese. I hope to buy a Japanese unit soon and try this out.
Question - what are the two .cab files for? You mentioned the one for Turkish, but what is the other one?
Thanks,
Girt
PS - are you Turkish? Merhaba!
One cab file registry editor. Another one is change English to Turkish. I hope it will be helpful. By the way yes I am Turkish! hi

Best software keyboard - the TouchPAL 4.0

Dear All,
Touch PAL has a beta version available the Touch PAL 4.0 (upgrade from 3.5), its just the best software keyboard i ever have used. Now my HD is almost perfect, such good that i even have doubts to buy the Touch PRO 2.
Thx for the heads up. I agree, no matter what other keyboard I try, just always go back to touchpal...bit of a learning curve to it but worth it as once learned its simply the best and fastest to use. Just love it!
Any link to the beta version? I recall I really liked this, but ditched it as it didn't have a landscape mode.
**EDIT** Sorry, here it is - http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=854
I didnt know this software before this, post, but after try it, it is the best keyboard software by far
thanks
I have been using this since 3.5 and think it is the best ever, and now with v4.0, it simply blows everything away!
I prefer this over Fingerkeyboard2 and the HTC Touch Input.
I've started using it since it's FOC day v.1.0.. It has come quite a long way.
Like the new landscape layout (tho' I hardly use THD in that mode) and I can type as fast using the T+ layout as if I'm in portrait mode! Cool!
Now, waiting for them to load up other language pack, and hopefully add in some symbols on the T+ layout, instead of having two '.' and ','.

All languages wich already exists will also work for 4.0
You just have to modify one little thing..
Open ActiveSync and open the Device Browser and go to "My Windows Mobile based device.." then go to Program Files\TouchPal\Surfaces..
There you will see already installed languages.. now open up the directory off the language you want to have available in TouchPal 4 for example dutch.
In this directory you will see dutch.img and surface.data just simply rename the surface.data to dutch.data same as the name of the directory..
If you get the message can't modify jadajada.. then just chose another keyboard on you're device, and then it will work after the renaming you must restart you're device!!!
Happy Typing T+
For this version there are other language files?

hi
tried this for norwegian language, but did not work.
I see the language but I can not choose it.
I bought it for my kaiser and it was great. It's picked up some problems with the Touch HD implementation though. Odd fiddly bugs like the unreliable way it interacts with the HTC input selector, occasional reversion back to the WM6 keyboard and it's not brilliant with opera.
Hopefully they'll fix.
Jon
Sad to report that I lost v.4.0.. after trying to tweak the language file.. this may not be the cause, since others have not issue with it.
Basically, v.4.0 doesn't load or load up a blank page (1/2 the height of the normal keyboard size) at the bottom which doesn't disappear untile I change the SIP. Uninstall, reinstall, uninstall and install v.3.0 and reinstall v.4.0 etc all no use.. sad...
sigh..
Edit:
Solved the problem with the help from the developer. Back up your language files in Surface, uninstall TouchPal, delete all the TouchPal folder in Program File and reinstall. Then Soft reset. Viola!
Anyone tried deleting the other language file before? Is it ok? How about the Chinese language file from v.3.5? Anyone tried it yet? I have it installed, but it's the fifth one on the list at the bottom, so can't access it unless I remove one of the other language.
You will have to remove other language files before you can select another.. just installed a new rom i'm trying some other language files right now.. I will report the status of the testing
**UPDATE**
"Have to be 3.5 language files.."
Norwegian :: tested :: Works file: Norwegian.rar
Dutch :: tested :: Works file: dutch.rar
Install language file:
1. Chose another keyboard
2. With ActiveSync open up the Device Browser
3. Go to \Program Files\TouchPal\Surfaces
4. Extract here an language file from above
5. Restart youre device
6. Select TouchPal keyboard

I did the above before, and I can't even get TouchPal to launch after deleting the language files that come with it.
if can't afford..using chinese version instead of cracked version..XD
The title should read "Best software keyboard - the TouchPAL 3.5"
IMO 4.0 is a step backwards, I don't use landscape keyboard so the only good thing about this update is nicer skin.
swedish dic SUCKS
This software is great and one of the best if not the best IMHO.
BUT no matter how good a software is for putting in text is. If the dic is bad there is really no use for it.
Different tempus for verbs is non existing and so cumbersome to input. the best would be if it could use the HTC dic like fingerkeyboard. Which really is the best dic a experience so far.
Other really bad thing is trying to get help on their forum to build a good Swedish dic has been non excisting. Atleast for me.
just my 2 cents
Regards
/Frewys
Nice keyboard indeed, and language version of djxfma works good.
Bu I miss the SMS name suggestion function of the HTC input and finger keyboard.
I will give it a try though.
Thanx for this application.
L.
It still can, just a bit more troublesome. After typing the name, press 'Space' and then delete the spacing and the name suggestion will work.

Norwegian keyboard

I have searched and searched for the Norwegian language on my X1, keyboard and dictionary on the Norwegian, because I want to use the keyboard, we have extra letters as "æ" "ø" "å".
hope someone has found a solution, or can create one as soon as possible.
This is something that is very important to me in the job context.
regards
losty-1H
Hi Losty,
I assume that you have a Norwegian hardware keyboard in the first place.
- If you are using an non-Norwegian WM version then you will have to do a registry change to use æ,ø,å on the hardware keyboard.
Either use Total Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm) on your phone, or run an editor from your computer via ActiveSync, like the free CERegEditor (http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/).
Quote:
In the registry, navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
Change the CurLan g value to match your language:
English: 409
Norwegian: 414
(Make sure you edit the value in hex)
- I don't think you can add the Norwegian dictionary to a non-Norwegian Windows Mobile version (anyone please correct me if i'm wrong) but you can still add words to the dictionary by typing them in as you go.
The original dictionary file is not known yet, and there are no editors avaliable either. I can't seem to find anyone who has successfully solved this issue.
The custom word dictionary file is \Windows\ "compimeh.0409.dat"
The custom dictionary in a Norwegian WM should be "compimeh.0414.dat"
I restored a copy of the "0414" from a Norwegian WM6.1 backup and replaced the original "0409" English one. I still get english word suggestions but at least my originally added words (from WM6.1 Norwegian) pops up now.
- Well if you want to set the WM language to Norwegian AND use a custom ROM, you are probably best off using something like itje's Touch-IT Xperience 21046.1.6.3 (Norwegian).
If not then you can set part of the OS (day naming, calendar, clock etc) to Norwegian by going to Settings->System->Regional Settings.
Cheers
A.J.
