HTC S620 (Excalibur) and T9...

Does anybody know a way to install T9 or the newer version from the Dash on the S620? I really like the word-completion feature of my other smartphones and PPC's.
Thanks!

we'll probably have to wait until someone extracts the extrom of the dash rom

Careful what you wish for

why did you buy the S620 if it is to put T9 on it?
The only benefit of this smartphone is the full qwerty keyboard, it sounds a bit strange to want to restrict yourself to the numeric pad to type your messages?

It's actually the newer xT9, you're not restriced to the numeric keys -- it predicts as you're typing words with the qwerty keyboard. Future versions might be more useful, but I find it more of a hinderance now. There's no way to configure it or edit the dictionary, it kicks in when you don't necessarily want it to and memorizes passwords, as well as showing them while you're entering them. Where ever the dictionary resides, mine is full of typos and passwords. Would be nice if you could uninstall or just shut it off. You can press ALT then SPACE and switch to just letter entry, but at some point it'll come back...

I understand that T9 is directed more towards standard phone keyboards, but I use it on my Hermes all the time. When typing a long email, the word completion can save time.

T9 dictionary edit
I am super annoyed by wrong words being added to the T9 dictionary!
I tried using the msT9Ed.exe, but it seems to not find the correct file.
I did find a file called "eT9Cdb.cdb" in the Windows folder, but don't know if this is the right thing to edit.
Anyone found something lately to edit the T9 dictionary?

newer xT9

Looking for T9 input cab (PhonePad)

I do a lot of texting , and the tiny little keyboard just aint as easy to use with my fingers with one hand.
My Artemis didnt have a Keypad , or T-9 input keypad, only had the keyboard, block recognizer, transcriber, & letter recognizer.
My old S200/Jamin had the Keypad dialer , made texting so much easier.
Anyone know where I can located a cab file for T-9 input??
Thanks in advance

Just copy over the cab file in your my documents folder and Launch, you should reboot the Artemis.
This one is international, so with different languages on board.
Greetings

Anyone who have the Norwegian langugae for T9 with PhonePad?

mvh

Kjempeflott om jeg få teste om det fungerer på P3300.
Great

OK!
Norwegian DLL ripped from S100...

Anyone who can help me to get the norwegian file into the program?

Hi Guy,
I have downloaded the file .ab and followed the instructions, but I do not find nobody icon in the device. someone can help me? thanks

German language does not work. I can select it, but when writing SMS it recognizes/proposes only English words. Any solution for this?
regards
Zonk76

Try a soft reset after choosing GERMAN language.
After that, my Phonepad writes T9 in german.

Where do I copy this dll ?? I dont have any map called dictionary.
My P3300 doesnt have transcriber, I only have keyboard. And now I've got phone pad.
How do I install transcriber??

Phone Pad WWE version
I have altered the cab and removed all the languages except for english leading to a smaller install - saving you 0.6 Mb

Does anyone else find that the Phonepad locks up sometimes (possibly due to lack of memory), leading to the inability to change SIPs, and the necessity to perform a soft-reset?

I'm referring to my Blue Angel, but it's the Phonepad taken from the O2 Mini (it may not be the version that's been included with this post if it's a newer one for a WM5 device...).
I'm wondering how memory works for SIP input anyway, because sometimes when I have heaps of free memory, and I use PenPower, it won't change to another SIP (eg. Null Keyboard, which doens't use much memory). Is SIP memory specially allocated?

The version posted is 1.0 (Build 22364)
Maybe its your null keyboard thats causing the problems - i recall when i used it - it was a bit glitchy.

It's definitely not the Null Keyboard, which I've never had a problem with, as the problems occurred even before I installed the Null Keyboard.
The version I'm referring to is also 1.0, but build 18526. (I don't know why they don't increase the version number like every other software vendor).
I'll try the version posted, and see whether I continue to experience problems (that is if it works on PPC2003....)

Works on PPC 2003SE
Well.... so far so good. At least it works on PPC2003SE - many things these days seem only to work on WM5! Thanks for making this available.

Wrote too soon! It's already locked up on me. Managed to lock the whole device this time, though, rather than just the SIP. I had to do a soft reset. (I'm wondering whether it's a combination of using PenPower and the PhonePad together).

Anyone know where in the Windows Mobile 5 filestructure T9NorwegianLdb.dll resides?
The Phone Pad - International.CAB.zip seem to work fine on the HTC P-3300.
Just point and hold on the small up arrow on the right side of the keyboard icon when you write an SMS to choose it.
Norwegian is not included in the file posted in this thread however.
I guess we need to install the T9NorwegianLdb.dll for that. Anyone know where to copy it? I am unable to find the phone pad directory in WM5.

Changing the keyboard layout

Hi everyone!
Many people out there from all over the world have upgraded their Artemis to Windows Mobile 6, thanks to people who are working hard on cooking nice ROMs for us. These people are used to a specific keyboard layout, many languages are using special characters too.
It would be nice to have a way to change the keyboard layout : something like easy installing CABs or a how to on what to change in the registry, what to remove on the storage, or whatever way to have our own keyboard on theses WWE ROMs.
Is it possible?

vive le france
Hi Romano2k,
The only thing that i have found was this regkey:
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks
But afaik does this regkey only work for the 'hard-keyboard' and not for the software-keyboard, so this answer won't help you a lot...
On my P3300 nothing changed with these keys and nothing happend when i changed the keys in 'HKCU\Keyboard Layout' In another forum i found a thread and they are saying you need a third-party software to change the software-keyboard...but for me it's no problem to use the english keyboard...but french keyboards are much stranger (i think french keyboard are the strangest keyboards that exists) and so i can understand your problem
Cheers
Peter

Love your reply's title
I agree with you, the french keyboard is strange, I wish they were only DVORAK keyboards all over the world! But I need my "é" "à" and so on... I'm sure there's a way to change the software keyboard!

Vive LA France
As far as I know it's a dll file that you would have to change. Never tried in WM6 to replace it, in WM 2003 it wasn't possible. Resco Keyboard would be an alternative if you don't want to try to change the layout yourself.

ups...
My french isn't that well....long time ago since school
I found a cab for the german keyboard, maybe you will find out more when you take a look inside this cab ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321236

Found French Keyboard ?
Heya,
maybe this could help you ? No idea if it works because i'm from Liechtenstein and i don't need a french keyboard

Hi all,
Is there any way to change the keybord to contain Greek characters???

Touch Pro2 Hardware keyboard

HI,
I just got my Touch Pro2 today, and noticed it has UK keyboard. Question is, does someone know how to change that layout eg. norwegian (I have cab for TyTN2, but I think it's not working because Tytn2 has only 4 row keyboard).
Is there some registry keys to change, or something else?

Sometimes just changing your region (settings ==> system ==> regional)
changes the layout.

Not wnough, tried already. In Registry lang code was 1033, I tried 1044 but still same.

Hi,
You can add a new keyboard layout file to your device windows folder, and change a specific "KeyboardlayoutFiles" registry value to point to that new file.
I made a small cab file which adds Ä and Ö characters behind A and O buttons. Simply use FN+A and FN+O after this cab installed and soft reset done.
Note, I tested this installation file with my own TP2 and worked fine, but I'm not "Pro" with WinMo cab development so please test the package at your own risk

I actually already got those characters by editing WWE file. I discovered from other forum, that keyboard setting works little different way than in TyTNII.

HiFi - Hi - I have the same problem as you, I too live in Norway, and have been looking for Norwegian.
So far, I've found a way to get norwegian spellcheck/XT9 wordlist, from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3304868&postcount=5
Installing it adds Norwegian to the list, it is not lister properly in the list, so after7if you choose another language, you leed to reinstall the cab to get Norwegian back.
Still - I am looking for a solution for the soft, and hard keyboard - how far are you from achieving your goal ?

For me it was enought to get ä,ö (and å) to hardware keyboard. I don't use software keyboard so much, that I need those in that. And T9 seemed to learn words quite quicly, so I can use that to get right words if for some reason I'm not using hardware keyboard.

Ok.
Anyone here knows that the HTC soft-keybaord uses for sumbol-list ?
they do not use the commonly used file sym.0409.txt , at least the HTC spacial characters appears in different order than the sym.0409.txt file.
I'd like to rearrange some of the special characters.

Disable XT9

On my Touch Pro I was able to disalbe XT9 by the following reg keys
Turn off
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\compime.dll
Layout Text=COMP IME
To Turn on again
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\eT9Ime.dll
Layout Text=eT9 IME
With my TP2 it now longer works. I am trying to disable XT9 so I have the microsoft drop down for suggested words.
Does anyone have the setting for this? Sorry if this has been posted already, I searched around on Google and just found the technique for XT9 for models other than TP2 which don't work.
**EDIT**
Found my own answer...
Enable XT9
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0030404]
"Ime File"="M5ImeMgr.dll"
Disable XT9
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0030404]
"Ime File"="compime.dll"
Works on my Hong Kong ROM and may not work with other ROMs.

will this make XT9 persistently stay on and not be forgotten every time you close down that panel (for hw keyboard)?

Stays on for me and it actually works with the on screen keyboard too which did not work with the Touch Pro.

If it was made awhile ago and not for TP2 then it will not work.
Would you like it in CAB format, can whip one up really quick.

yeah that would be awesome if you could, thank you!

I would make a cab but some people have said that it caused problems by the dll file name being different in their ROMs. I am using Hong Kong ROM, what ROM are you using?

My XT9 not working now since in install Studio Kuma Chinese input CAB. I have a Hong Kong TP2 English Version and i need Chinese handwriting input. But since in install the CAB. I lost the standard XT9 and I no longer can input Chinese using anyone of the standard input method.

Try this cab. It will return the registry settings for XT9 and input to default.
Hope it works for you.

Thanks At0mAng. I'll have a crack at your CAB. BTW, do you have the original TP2 Chinese handwriting CAB from your device?

Do you mean the new EZinput? I am not Asian so I never use the Asian input. I believe there is a way to enter chinese characters by hand. I can try to CAB up the EZInput from my dump and see if it works.
