I have a french speaking Qtek 9090 and I would like to change it to WWE because of the quickest updates, etc...
I understood the ROM conversion procedure but I'm quite worried about the hardware keyboard which is AZERTY...
Once I'll be in WWE, I'm not sure there is a way to map the QWERTY layout to an AZERTY hard keyboard by editing some ROM files...
I've heard so far about a third party software but I would prefer to make it permanent...
Any ideas ? but I DON'T WANNA KEEP IT IN FRENCH
Thanks
My French Qetk is in English now, and I couldn't not figure out how to remap the keyb, I tried the soft found here but with no luck, anyway I don't really care since I am used to have English Keyb, I'm typing on my 9090 without looking at it, but if I could change the keyb plastic cover it could be great (Don't like half done things )
Hi everyone,
I have just made this patch that allows using the AZERTY built-in (hardware) keyboard with a ROM in a different language (WWE, SPA, ITA, GER…).
Remarks:
- This works only for Blue Angel, because Wallaby, Himalaya and Andes DO NOT have a hardware keyboard.
- The On-screen keyboard won’t change. If you have a ROM in World Wide English (WWE), your Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Keyboard and Transcriber will be in English, ONLY the hardware keyboard will be in French.
- If you know how to use WinCE CAB Manager 1.1, it’s is possible to adapt this to other keyboards. You only have to extract and modify “Platformxxx.reg” inside the BA_AZERTY_Hardware_Keyboard_Patch_for_WWE_ROM.cab and put it back to the cab file with your own settings. I won’t make any other patch for other keyboard. I made this patch just for me, but you can use it and modify as you like.
What’s inside? How can I modify it?
The most important registry key to modify is the last key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:0002040c
You have to modify the last 3 digits (after the 00020) depending on your hardware. For instance, for a T-Mobile MDA III with a (hardware) keyboard in German you should give this value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020407
(00000407 is the code for the German keyboard layout.
The other keys correct the Local Settings.
The first key set the values for France
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"DefaultACP"=dword:000004e4
"DefaultLCID"=dword:0000040c
"DefaultOCP"=dword:00000352
"SystemLCID"=dword:0000040c
The second key set the GMS Emergency number to 112 (all over Europe)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\ECall]
"List"=hex(7):\
31,31,32,00,00
The third key sets the time zone: +1 Madrid, Paris
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Clock]
"GMT_OFFSET"=dword:ffffffc4
"AppInfo"=hex:\
01,00,00,00,3A,01,00,00,69,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,80,01,00,00,04,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,00
Where you can download it?

Have fun
I tested on my French Qetk 9090 with WWE ROM and it works FLAWLESSLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now guys remove this stupid and incomprehensible French rom localization and jump for a WWE ROM. I wonder now why some many people got difficulties to understand how to use a PPC in France, the Menu and translation are written by monkeys…

The key for Ita Keyboard is 410.
Thanks so much

I have upgraded two more keyboards, the Italian and the German and I have also modified the Regional Time Zone settings for these Countries.
I intended to build these cabs to intall them in the Extemded ROM (I'm using the Belgium ROM BA_WWE_BelDT_12200_557_10602_SHIP.exe and I have replaced the Belgium Operators cab with my AZERTY keyboard cab ), so I don't need to personalize my Blue Angel every time I need to do a hard reset.
For those who just want to use their localized keyboard with a ROM in a different language, they only need to modify this key with a Registry Editor as explained in my previous message.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020xxx
New files are here:

Great work, makes it some much easier, thanks
I understand:
The On-screen keyboard won’t change. If you have a ROM in World Wide English (WWE),
your Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, Keyboard and Transcriber will be in English,
ONLY the hardware keyboard will be in French.

Which is fine in the short term for I am sure that somebody SMART will post a fix for it.
However I still have a problem with the software keybaord.
I am in Switzerland and need the o,u,e with the dots on top.
I have found sofware for USD 29.95 that solves that:
http://pocket-pc-software.penreader.com/InterKey.html
Question: could you PLEASE post cab that will overwrite the internal keyboard ? Leaving the recogoniction ect in Engliah.
There is a MDAIII Extened rom GER (I think) posted under ftp, BlueAngel\MDAIII\MDA3 ext[1].ROM.zip
Your thoughts ?
How could I have forgotten Switzerland!!! )) When I think I lived one year in Zürich... And I will be back soon to visit some friends over there, in Wettingen.
Listen mate, for the internal keyboard is too much of a problem, because, I think, each version of Pocket PC has only the keyboard drivers for the language is intended. i.e, a ROM in WWE won´t have the drivers for a Swiss keyboard... -for the Trancriber, I'm sure 100%- and besides the drivers are in the ROM memory, so not visible. I tried many many things to make work the on-screan keyboard but I couldn't find any solution... but maybe someone else will find it in the future. Nothing is impossible. Meanwhile there´s a very good solution and reasonable cheap (developers must make some money too!)
http://www.resco-net.com/keyboard.asp
In fact, I wanted a Spanish keyboard, because you can write in Spanish, French, English, German and many other languages... even Swiss German!, which you can't do with a US or French keyboard... so I have bought the Resco keyboard
As I said before, I don't think to make any other versions of the keyboard patch, but that's the whole thing in the Open Source... I found how to change the keyboards, I explained it to the community and Í'm sure that other guys here will do more keyboards in different languages. I'm pretty sure that other Swiss people will be interested so they can also contribute.
Actually, to write this answer me takes longer than to make a patch for the Swiss (german) keyboard... but I prefer to work now to unlock this Blue Angel thing I don't think to change of provider but it's a matter of principles. I hate locked things (phones, DVD players, etc.) and everything else that takes away some of your freedom... but that´s another subject and this is not the place for that
Viel Spass!
ArtZ
Oh What a nice guy you are and I am sure that your last post took you longer to write than a patch. (grin) But I am also sure lots of pepole will be happy with what they find as it is a lot esyser than searching the forum for the reg codes.
I am a bit lost on the Unlock thing you wrote about.
I downloaded a tool of this site that unhides the Exteneded rom and unlockes the sim (I think).
The an hide works for me, and my sim swiss phone works fine on my german MDAIII, is this what you need?
There is a
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\KeyBoard Layout\Preload\1
The Active key is set to e000409
on my 1.12.22 WWE
1) Does anybody know what it is ?
2) Can somebody look at the values for ITA, FRE, GER and post the results.
Thanks

That's normal. In every language is the same. You shouldn't change that value... and if you do, there will be no difference.
I think windows just preload the US keyboard when it starts.

Thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks!!!!!!
Solved it!!
Solved the date problem going to "regional configuration".
And solved the keyboard problem changing to 0x...409
Thanks again.
International characters could be entered on hardware keyboard by typing basic letter (u, i s, c, etc.) , press and hold Lock/Fn key and rotate through variations by typing "sym" (space).
Does anybody knows if something similar could be done on software keyboard?
Hello, I am writing because I am a bit confused.
I have
WinCE cab manager open on the patch
platformxxx.reg open in notepad ready to be edited
phm registry editor open on the BA on the "querty" reg key
and this microsft pageopen,
but I am lost.
First:
Keyboard=ENG (t-mobile UK)
ROM=BA_DT_Swisscom_ITA_14004_8006_11200_SHIP
I understand that I have to change the QWERTY value in the REG KEY inside the PLATFORMXXX.REG. I save the whole thing and the install on the BA.
Now, the current value on the unpatched reg key is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty] "Layout"=dword:00020809
if I go check in the Microsft page, 809 is already UK (0x0809 en-GB English (United Kingdom) ).
I was expecting this value to be the Swiss-ITA (0x0810 it-CH Italian (Switzerland)
I am totally lost, what am I supposed to do?
EDIT:
SOLVED
trial and error:
I will answer my own question:
you have to change the language of the keyboard to the one of your rom and not viceversa.
Thank you for your help, I am a happy camper now that the keyboard works.
EDIT:
JUST ONE NOTE:
I had to change the REGION SETTINGS: date was in FRENCH.
NOW IS PERFECT
Thank you so much!
Hello Everybody !

Yes,you are wrong,wm 6.5 support S730 witch Rom is 256Mb(not Ram).if Rom is 128MB,Pls don`t upgrade it.
I'm the author of this 6.5 ROM.
hi ccwav
i am a fan of your roms from ioicn (i cannot understand chinese anyway)
nice to see you here
Welcome!
I was surfing ioicn.com.cn and I saw there some posts about WM 6.5 for S730 but I can't speak Chinese and all I could do was register and then search the posts. But I couldn't understand if there was any English ROM. Anyone able to help?
the rom build by ccwav is chinese and english, but it is incomplete (file explorer, bt and many other features are still in chinese) anyway it is a nice and cool rom.
I downloaded this ROM that nhatientri mentioned, cooked it without making any modifications and it installed flawlessly. It is in English totally but no Bluetooth at all, this is the first thing I spotted. Let me check if there are other bugs.
BTW, anyway to get the bluetooth back?

Well, I speak Italian, Greek, English, Albanian and some Turkish and French. If you know any of the following languages, I am ready to help you bring it in English.
As for my yesterday's test on HTC S730 with the 6.5 ROM, I decided to go back to 6.1 until next convincing ROM.

i saw it this morning... and now i'm going to test it
but
i'll be very happy if you could cook a rom with 256MB ROM size and without AGPS/GPS features (the western wings haven't gps but have more rom size)
anyway thank you for the up, i'm running to try it
Dear friends, I downloaded the ROM from the link here http://www.ioicn.com.cn/forum/viewthread.php?tid=358850&extra=&page=1 and don't ask me how I registered, I don't know Chinese and I worked a lot with google translation. The forum couldn't log you in through google translator. Anyhow, long story short, I downloaded the chinese 6.5 ROM and I am amazed. The home screen is fantastic and i could change the language from Chinese to English through the settings. There are still programs and items in Chinese but it's not a big deal. You can find the english versions of the programs on line.
I am going to play with that a little bit now. I'll write later if I find any bug or whatever.
are you able to dump/edit/modify/repack that rom? maybe removing agps ? i have tried several times but i am a dumb ^^
Nope, I'm sorry. I don't know how to do it. I renamed every Chinese filename in English and downloaded the English versions of some of the programs.
Until now, from what I see I can say the following:
1. Bluetooth Manager is in Chinese, I'll try to push some English version from my other HTC Vox WM 6.5 if possible.
2. Internet Explorer is for touch screen models I guess. Very difficult for me to operate it like this. I think I will try Opera or whatever for a change.
3. There is File Explorer in English but somehow, the cooker decided to put the shortuct of Resco Explorer only in the menu, which is in Chinese by the way.
4. GPS seems to work but I can't get more than 1 satellite everywhere I try.
5. Quick GPS tries to download data but nothing downloads even on WiFi or over ActiveSync.
6. Homescreen of T-Mobile looks very cool, I like it a lot
7. A lot of tweaks in Chinese, hieroglyphs to me
I will see if I spot anything else. Nevertheless, the ROM is OK, I didn't regret the update (yet).
allright, nevermind...
i have solved some issues (in an arranged way)
2 if you use JZSmartMort you can set (in the browser options) the "OLD VERSION" of IE , it's work but is still slow imo
3 install your own resco explorer or make a new link to the "original file explorer" than replace with the older one (chinese resco)
4-5 i think that one satellite is few for connect to a AGPS so agps/gps feature is useless (if don't have the gps version of wings) (can't try with an external receiver, for now, at my home there are no signal at all)
6-7 the last foledr in start menu conteins some extra tweak, like different layout for menu (glossy bars and selections, the third is PINK!), a selector for different tshres.dll (icons in the iconbar, my favotite is #8), a selector between the 6.1 and 6.5 home layout (maybe with delicacy homescreen) and a selector for the dialer pad (first, grey htc, second blue...)
how much RAM free you get at the boot? and after some while?
br
Also, I can't find Java. It looks it is not integrated or smth. I don't use it anyways, just wanted to try Opera Mini....
Well, I have it loaded up with programs so I don't know if the readings are accurate. Anyways, where do I check the free RAM?
