Because there was no Dutch WM6.1 ROM around for the Wings, I took the liberty of building one myself. It is based on Alcalines stable 6.1 WWE ROM.
The ROM is in Dutch and can be changed to English, although I do not really see the point in doing that myself
Download
here (Megaupload)
The ROM is splash screen and os only. You will need HardSPL / CID unlocked to be able to flash it. There is plenty of information around here how to do that.
Known bugs/issues
- Time zone is at GMT right after flashing. Go to Start > Instellingen > Klok en alarmsignalen > Datum en tijd to set it to the correct time zone, 'Nederlands'. You need to be there anyway.
- Battery meter on the home screen refuses to open power control panel.
- Phone band selection screen is still in English. -> fixed in version 3
- In-call menu doesn't contain text when set to Dutch.
edit 11/12/08: uploaded a new version with total commander and oxios hibernate included. Fixed a couple of mistakes (such as the IE homepage displaying an error).
If you have any comments or discover any things that I've missed, please let me know.
Hi spone1,
Looks really cool! I would like to do the same for Swedish. Can you give some instructions how to do it?
/Peter
petersa,
This is how I did it:
- Get a stable base ROM to build from (Alcaline's ROM in my case)
- Find a WM6.1 standard ROM that contains the Swedish language files (mui files)
- Copy them over to the base ROM
- Tell the ROM there are additional languages available (adding a MUI, making sure that the XT9 is set, for Swedish there might possibly a different keymap needed, don't know).
- Rebuild and flash, test
...
- Profit
Thanks!
Could you elaborate a little on the "Copy them to the base ROM" and "Rebuild and flash"?
If I find the MUI files can I simply just put them in the right folder on my S730 or do I have to build a new ROM and flash? If so, do you have any links how to build a ROM?
Sorry for all questions but I'm a newbie to ROM cooking...
/Peter
Take a look at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Vox, it is for the Vox but Wings is more or less the same. I would appreciate it though if you'd make your own thread from now on instead of hijacking mine
Nice try, but if I change the language to English I cannot use the keyboard. Always the FN is on, but the led is off. Strange.
Can you please be more specific? Where did you change the language? Regional settings?
edit: just tried switching the phone to fully US English with English time settings and such, and it works fine. But maybe I am testing the wrong thing. You might want to try an additional hardreset?

I have flashed the rom (very easy, allready had hard spl). After that the rom booted and I did go to the settings and changed the Regional Settings Language to English. After that I tried to setup an e-mail account, but that didn't work. Sending a SMS didn't work too, both times I couldn't get letters.
Ofcource I rebooted the phone several times, but didn't work If you need more info, PM me for Dutch
Thanks for your help spone1
/Peter
translate xuque's last rom
hoihoi,
Can somebody translate the rom from this tread in post 4 to dutch?
If it is all about MUI files and one registry setting, than why is so difficult too made one international rom?
just asking, I'm totally no cooker, have tried it in the past, but it's too difficult for me. and I'm scared for f*cking up my phone.
groetjes,
Niels
What are the advantages over, say, Alcaline's ROM? Yes I know that some things are a newer version, but what makes it better and worth to spend my time on
NICE! Great job
Phone Functions missing
Hi Spone,
I've made use of your version and finally my 730 is stable and usable. Thanks.
But I now miss two functions to optional use during a call:
-Mute
-Speaker
Is there anything available getting these functions back.
HLN
Hmm, now you say so. As far as I can see something went wrong with the translation leaving us without a menu to use these functions. I'll look into it.
Concerning the mute function, probably not entirely the same but if you press the center button on the D-pad the call is put on hold.
edit: nevermind about that last thing, just read your PM
thumbs up
Great job spone!
Took the step this morning and flashed your rom. Works like a charm.
Besides a little lag at startup when inserting pin and a few English words here and there (e.g. at profiles) this is definitely the best solution for the Dutch S730-owners.
Thanks a lot

I've been looking at it, tried replacing files but it doesn't seem to pick it up
Currently I dont have the time to investigate it any further, I might in the future. Coming up with a possible new solution, editing, flashing, testing takes quite some time When you set the rom to english though, it actually does display the text. Anyone with a hint?
Great job!!!
My s730 is now a lot faster and its very stable!
Thank you very much
Greatings from Holland!
nice work
After waiting for a long time (put my fear a side) to update/upgrade my phone finally I did it and...... Install went perfectly! Next job, test this nice rom. to be continued ....

Questions on other languages, there will be no other languages released
Remarks about disliking stuff in the rom, and w/e..I dont care what you like or not.
Remarks on that previous roms are worse/better then this one
Remarks on that some ppls recooked versions of my roms are better.
Stick to posting about what is in the rom, not what is left out.
Dont ask how to flash this, its in the Touch-IT folder as a read me.

NOTE:
I dont have the p4350 anymore, so I could not test the roms with touchflo and no cube.
But they should work
Instructions how to upgrade is in the Touch-IT folder.
READ IT.
If you dont, you will spend even more time infront of your computer flashing the official ruu before trying again, why waste time, use 1 min to read and understand.
Remember:
If you dont like what I have added, or what I have removed or w/e please dont spam this thread with lame comments.
Disclaimer:
I take NO responsebility if you brick your device, if you do search the forums before you come flaming me/us here at XDA.
IF you brick your phone (Brick=the phone can be used as a building brick, or maybe a paperweight? Because you cant start it up.) Its no others fault but your own.
Mainly the reason for bricking a phone is:
1. Not reading the instructions good enough
2. Not following the instructions.
3. Not having a RUU that can unbrick the phone (the official installer with the official rom for your specific phone, with your phones default language. In.ex if yu have a german phone by default, you need a german RUU, if not you will get invalid vendor error)
4. Not reading the instructions good enough..again
5. Not following the instructions...again
If you dont understand after reading CAREFULLY, then dont bother flash your device with this or any other rom.

Wow, dude. Awesome. And just in time for me buying my P4350 monday (or tuesday possibly). Not having tried flashing before (but already having read the instructions several times, even though I haven't actually got a phone to do anything on), I don't know the quality of your roms - yet I presume from what I have read that they are quite good indeed.
So thanks for your work on the roms, even though the P4350 isn't exactly new.
Just out of curiosity, is it WM5 or WM6 it's built upon? I can't seem to locate that fact anywhere in your post, but I might have overlooked it for some mysterious reason.
EDIT: It seems I was a bit too quick to post the latter about me not finding the information. I googled a bit and it seems that Kaiser OS of that build mentioned above is indeed WM6. So I guess I answered my question myself
EDIT 2: First (or well, second), I guess?
glad to hear that you're still doing work for us. I can't wait to put this on my phone.
thanks mucho.

Hm, maybe this should be stickied. Easier to find it, as it seems to be the final version ever to be released.
I am however curious, itje. What if bugs pop up, will you be fixing those? Depending on their size and reach of the bug, of course.
hello itje,if i found a language pack french,with these release,work??

Well, it might work. If you find a language pack that works on wm6 then it might. Why don't you try it out? Just make a backup, flash, see if it works, flash back to your current rom and restore your backup. I'm sure it can't be that hard.
UAHUUUUU
I love the "READ ME-How To Upgrade" file
I love the new (light coloured) splashcreen and theme
I love everything man!
It is dumb saying so since it is the last version but this is the best release!
Installation went smooth! I really hope that this time everybody reads carefully the readme file since the package has the select OS feature.
Itje, come back to the herald whenever you want. I read somewhere that kaiser was way worse than Herald... I would think it twice
Great rom itje... I've founda little bug that becomes annoying when using CommManager: when I try to slect Settings -> Wireless lan nothing happens :?

My tytn2 is the best device/phone I ever held in my hands.
So does this rom have the keyboard and stuff working correctly? I think it was a problem in the past, if I remember right. Just curious because I just had to hard reset my phone because it's being stupid, so if this rom is (close to) bug free, I will probably flash to this instead.

If you have a P4350, and its default language is english. There is no issue
What messed up with soft keyboard was the softkeyboard from touch dual, and I didnt include it in this release.
If you want it, get the cab. The same applies to other programs that ppl wants that is not in this release.

To be honest I don't really know what touch dual is, so I'm sure I could do without it. I've been running the regular t-mobile rom with just the page pool change and a few programs (htc home, etc), and suddenly started getting this problem where my send button didn't work right and my phone would make some weird noises. I just did a hard reset and it seems to have fixed that, so while I'm at it I might as well add a nice new rom.
I know you've been working on roms for quite a while here, and I was holding off because of not wanting to re-do everything, but now since I had to start fresh, I might as well add something like this.
Thanks for all of the hard work you put into this stuff. I'm definitely going to give it a try.

so when you got the t-mobile version, I assume you got the wing?
OK guys. I've got my clean ROM running. So far no bugs but I keep finding things to remove. It runs really fast, too. I also don't have that bug that the Touch-IT based ROMs have with their internet explorer being very stuttery. I'll run it for a week or so (and remove a few more things) before I release it to you guys, though.
Now... If I could just get either BigStorage working and/or was able to merge the extROM with the storage... So far, I've had no success on either. Probably because of the DOC storage system... :-(
Because of the lack of bigstorage, we have a lot of unclaimed space.
Storage memory: 36.28MB (This means you can add your own programs without loosing this space.)
Program memory: 27.00MB when first turned on. 26.xx when it starts using parts of it for caching purposes. (28.xx with some tweaks that I will probably not setup in the final ROM because they will make certain things not work the way everyone else is used to.)
Updates:
Bugs found:
1. Notepad doesn't not launch or open in any way shape or form.
Bugs fixed:
1. The volume slider is acting as an up and down arrow instead of a volume slider. If anyone has any input on what controls this, I'd gladly appreciate the help. Also, tapping on the volume control does nothing.
And a little teaser... There's a little over 300+ packages on my next release of EasyBakeOven... which is why it's taking so long. I'm trying to weed out the useless ones, though.
Mental note: Check out the LGplugin to make it a package.
Disclaimer: Should you choose to flash the released ROM or any of its versions, released or otherwise, you are solely responsible for your equipment. I take no responsibility for any damage caused by this ROM nor by any negligence on your behalf while flashing said ROM. I will provide support to the best of my abilities only and ONLY if you have fully read the FAQ I will later provide, read this WHOLE thread AND the instructions, following them to a t.

If I cannot answer the question, I will tell you. If it's posted here and I haven't responded for over a week, then post another message reminding me. I probably missed it. It is NOT ok to PM me asking me the same question that someone else has already gotten a response for. Read the whole thread. Other than that, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE ROM!!!

this sounds really good I've looking and waiting for a good clean rom, and still have not seen a really good one I tried evry rom on here but they all have issues, the best one that I have no issues with is ITJE's touch it light based on the original T-Mo rom, it's just not light enough and the installed touch features are already outdated since new versions came out. so I will be watching you Mr Ivammj..and thanks for your work in advance..
Hi
somewhere I read that the extrom in herald cannot be freed and given to the regular rom/ram like in other devices. (Don't know the source and whether this is really true ... ) The only thing you can do is use the extrom as additional memory and install applications in it.
Maybe you could try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.phpt=308175
The extrom can be "opened" using winimage on a PC . Then you can put applications in it (but I have not figured out how to do this best) and write it back to the device.
I have never tried it so I don't know if it work or bricks your phone. But maybe this will direct you to the right direction.
Good luck and please post your experiences.

Mine is VERY bare as it's going to be a base to my Kitchen. Too bad I can't reclaim a lot of that wasted space because of the fixed size of the img file on the Herald devices. What touch features are you refering to. The ONLY thing that I've really added per say is a newer version of HTC's X button/task manager and the Cubeless TouchFlo features.

and this link has more apps (for Kaiser) most will work on the wing http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/index.php?path=Kaiser+Cab+Collections/
thanks your hard work for us,i am from china,and i did the english ROM+chinese language ,i canot wait your ROM out ,and test it.
if it possible ,i hope you may share your kitchen with me ,and i can use it for my english rom and chinese language support.and more chinese people would like it .
let more people use clean ROM
let us work on big storge,and more faster ROM.
and my MSN:[email protected]
for my poor english.
OK. The ROM is flying and it's basically ready for a release as I haven't found any more bugs, so I might do an Alpha release this weekend.
Coool, I can't wait to try it!!!
clean rom
hey to all of you out their looking for a clean rom for the wing. back in my day when I owened a wing I cam across a offical htc hearld wm6 rom the worked with the wings keyboard, if any ones interested I can post it up. you guys can prolly use it as a base to build off of aswell
Santino.. that's like the holy grail of T-mo Wing rom's... please post it.
Regards
sure thing...I had orginally thought that the comunnity was aware of it. ill post it up in the upgrade fourms soon as I get home around 7pm eastern
Oh this would be sooo damn nice, a clean rom! And i sooo hope you get Bigstorage working!
Ok, as promished, here is the new rom. I just post the link in a text file, cause I want to see the counter running
It's a standard snapvue, liberated, with the following ehancement:
Screen rotation in settings
GPS in snapvue side
Full iexplorer, notes, images, messenger,windows live.
HTC X-button 1.5
HTCGPStool
DotFred's TaskManager
USBtools for connecting to vista
A few htc blocages removed
I've tested the sound. the gps fix, and vista connectivity. Be sure to use high performace power mode for best results. It's still beta until everyone confirm it works ok. DOn't flash it if you are afraid of dark.
My radio is 1.58.21.23, so it should work on all european shift. North americans have already the gps included anyway.
To install, run customRUU AS ADMINISTRATOR on a HardSPL shift
FAQ:
- Flash is not working, it stops at 0%
You dummy boy forgot to hardSPL your shift. Look in the forum for HardSPL by cmonex
-Flash is working, goes until the end, but I get an old rom
Try launching customruu from a new folder with a new name. It's a bug under vista
- GPS does not get a fix
Sorry. Get outside, in the middle of a field, and wait. You will get a fix.
- I want GPS under vista too
It's a software problem. I'm using franson gpsgate on both side, using an activesync solution. There are other way.
- What took you so long to release this
Well, I'm like you, I waited for a rom, and since nothing came, I've started doing it myself. It took me one week.
- It mean you are against shift project
No, Thanks to their help, I can flash roms on my device. I'm actually in regular contact with cmonex. We both think more rom is best for everybody. Shift project will release quality rom on it's agenda.
- What will you do next
I'll go for screen problems I want games to work on this. After,I'll try and see the SD card, the phone, the BT and the wifi
-Wait, SD card is higher priority to me
Well, I just start where I think it can be easier to sort thinks out.
- Why don't you release a cab for the GPS like you did
Because one of the driver responsbile for linking with the sound is loaded at boot time. Try changing this on you own, and you'll have to hard reset. Only way to change it is a custom rom
- I have function X that doesn't work
Does it work after a hard reset? If not, please post how to redo it on my device
- My girlfriend left me since I flashed this rom
You forgot to HardSPL her. It's your fault
- I want program X added to the rom
Maybe if I see it as a great improvment, othewise, you should learn to cook rom yourself

Some stuff still has to be liberated the old way. Feel free to advise your registry edits for the next version
Thanks, but it worked a few mins later. I'm just too impatient.
Finally a reason to install HardSPL on the Shift, I was too lazy to liberate it again so held off until now.
What about non-English keyboard layouts? Are they supported in this new ROM?
If so, I'll download tomorrow in the office, at home it's only GSM...
Thank you all for making a little great machine even better!
I can try and make non english layout, but I need different languages to do this. I'm going to try with german, but I'll need other languages files too.
Thanks !!!!!, perfect, brilliant, fantastic!, GPS and full sound .... now only the issue of lack Snapvue to 96dpi or 128dpi, it appears that the CommManager cut, broken, je, je, je, je ... very good job, just missed the soft reset button, but it will be for the next one. Thanks !!!!.
soft reset is in task manager menu. But you can make a shortcut to it. I'll add it in next version.
forgot to add cab support. You can edit registry for this. This will be added in next version

That caught me out for a minute too. For those who are stuck, use the registry editor in the Task Manager, and navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Cabfile\Shell\Open\command and change the default value to wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete - there is a space after the .exe and before the /nodelete here.
Thaihugo - it's looking good so far, just tweaking it up now. GPS works perfectly.
TERRIFIC!!!!
Thanks
Gracias, gracias
Dear ThaiHugo, thank you for your development time given to the shift community.
Its nice to see some movement on the forums.
I have a north american shift, as stated above it includes the gps, but should i try and use this rom?.
Last but not least, aside from being liberated and IE,WMP,Notes ect installed in it, is there any difference from the usa rom version?.
---Any input would be gladly appreciated. thanks in advance.....

96dpi and 128dp are possible. I am using Realvga...works terrific.
you can grab it off my server
RealVGA_11.CAB
ResPack128dpi.ARM.CAB
96dpi is a little too small, trust me...youre going blind.
@Thaihugo... Gute Arbeit..weiter so (Deutsche Gruendlichkeit)
If you need a server to host your roms, let me know. My server is fast and permanent
great job, keep going guys, this is the only way to go further in shift converting it from an expensive paperwight to a real good phone

As I'm very very very very (etc.) interested in Italian keyboard layout, could you please tell me which file do you need in order to build an "italian-like"-cooked-ROM?
Thanks
it's been a couple of days since i bought this device, and i thought i should summarize some findings.
1) you cannot skip autorun process. if you soft reset during autorun, the device will start the setup process from the beginning.
2) if you turn off security in registry (HKLM/Security/Policies/Policies/1001), it will refused to connect to desktop pc. you need to leave the security setting non-0, if you need to sync with your pc all the time.
3) sspl does work although it gives you a black screen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621
4) softbank ap is hidden. you can make it visible, with the usual trick of ConnSBM and wifiwake.
5) internet sharing is removed out of rom as usual.
6) mms client is made by arcsoftware, and integrate to messaging. but this app doesn't seem to work without softbank certificate.
7) it seems like most of the oem apps are signed by softbank, and they don't run without the certificate.
8) good news is the japanese thumb input works without certificate so that it can be run on other wm6.1 vga machines.
This is a very important post -- thanks so much for being a Guinea Pig! I was going to get the Raphael (X05HT) when it comes out in early December, but may reconsider if it is not possible to even upgrade a rom. (the Diamond/Rapheal are very similar). However, before we come to that definite conclusion, can you describe the problem with sspl? What is the error? Are you trying to upgrade using windows xp or vista? As much information as possible would be helpful. I am sure somebody here will be able to solve this!
As far as it being locked goes, I was sort of expecting that (After the Hermes fiasco). My main irk though, is possibly not being able to upgrade even a rom....
One more thing: how is input using the keyboard? Does it do a good job?? (Especially in Japanese). That was one reason I was going to wait for the X05HT -- not to mention it having more memory to work with. Cheers!
Not 100% related, but I recommend the Emobile version of this phone. I still have a Softbank phone, which I now use exclusively with a white plan to talk to my wife, but I much prefer the Emobile packet-hodai plan to the gimped Softbank version. With my softbank phone, packet-hodai only covers sms/mms and Yahoo mobile browser, if I used the "PC site browser" I could get charged a lot more.
Anyways that thread if anyones looking for a Diamond that is easily ROM upgradeable in Japan (believe it's also coming out on DoCoMo): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440684

there is no error. sspl starts, but it does not go to the bootloader screen (the tri-color screen), but remains blank. the backlight is still on, but the screen is totally black.

you mean, software keyboard? finally, it has japanese ezinput with japanese/english dictionary so you can type both japanese and english. the difficult thing with this thumb input is switching between words and numbers. the mode changes like alphabet(english only)-number-kana-katakata. so it is a little troublesome to switch english/japanese/number... better use qwer software keyboard to type passwords or email addresses.
it is kinda slow, and seems a little unstable. need to find a way to burn my own rom...
Did you read this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440684&highlight=emobile
Emobile also carry the same phone. Especially, see post 3.
Hopefully are able to solve this and tell us how you did it. Good luck and keep us informed. I look forward to having the same problems with my new X05HT in a few weeks..... :-D
Edit: or try this to unlock it: http://www.mobilefixed.com/shop/pro...id/39?osCsid=06590ca850536441a4721bc41a6d2fd9
I read elsewhere in this forum that it works.
i should have read the threads more carefully. i could install hard spl! the black screen was ok.

So you solved it? No problems? Let us know how a new rom goes! For Japanese input go here for a one cab install of the latest IME. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2905264&postcount=1
As for your data connection installation (should give access to unlimited packet rate, too) go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441400
Do let us know how it goes with a new rom. Speed better? More stable? Amount of free memory better? etc. Cheers!

i created a test rom based on the official htc wwe rom, and successfully burnt it on my x04ht! the original x04ht rom gives you only 20+mb free ram, but this wwe rom gives you about 50mb free ram. also, touchflo responds much faster!
as for japanese input, i am thinking about copying ime+ezinput from the softbank rom which i backed up.
will report more when i am done with my own customized rom.
i could successfully rebuild x04ht rom from the dumped raw files!
summary can be found here.

Did you ever do this? If so, could you please provide a cab? I am also trying to do a similar thing for my X0ht. The IME in the new models is a lot better than the old x01ht one. There are also plently of others who would love a cab if you can do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550&page=2&highlight=x05ht
Oh, and did you ever work out the settings for Arcsoft so we can use mms? It is exactly the same for the x05ht. (I really don't want to have to use mmslite after I flash it to English).
Best!

first, i thought i would use my x04ht with a wwe rom cooked with japanese functionality and apps from x04ht. however, i have changed (or had to change) my strategy since many oem applications in x04ht including arcsoft mms are security signed and cannot be ported easily, which means they do not run on other roms without softbank certificate.
it was a little time-consuming for me to figure out how certificate works, so i figured out how to port sys & xip from newer roms to x04ht instead. my x04ht is still japanese, but os is from a newer build with softbank certificate and "full wm6.1 functions."
having said that, i think it is possible to change the language of the rom quite easily once you can dump the rom and cook it yourself. the language is simply a matter of mui files and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]. all 409 (english) muis are available from any shipped wwe roms, anyways.
as mentioned above, i have not figured out how to port oem apps without softbank certificate yet. also, i don't have dev environment to make a cab myself.
additionally, i found out the slowness of x04ht is due to default disk cache set 0. gps takes dozens of minutes to start working, which is almost useless. i tried to use it last night, but it was searching the satelites all the time. finally, gps started working when i finally got to the place i wanted to go to. i guess i need to replace the radio rom, but i have not figured out how to make a radio rom backup yet.
also there seems to be some memory leak, but i don't know whether it is the rom or htc apps... free ram of my x04ht is currently about 10 mb after one day. this is unbelievably bad.
Hi you guy out there!
I recently bought me a Raphael from our beloved Swisscom and guess what: it was crap until I flashed ROMeOS2.
But I was a fool not to backup the entire Windows folder before flashing. I have 2 problems now:
1st I lost TomTom. The maps are still available on storage card but the installation has gone an no cab file to restore it :-(
2nd I'm stuck on an French AZERTY keyboard! To solve this I beg you:
Backup all language files on your Raphael before flashing and send it to me via e-mail so that my task to cook us a Swiss-French keyboard would be much easier!
The important files are, I think, the PQwertyxxxxxx.txt located in Windows folder. But the best, in oder do fix both the problems would be to backup the entire Windows folder.
PM me or reply to this thread it you are interested in helping or send me mails!
Here is what I have so far:
http://www.modaco.com/content/smart...obile-smartphone-internationalization-issues/
Every help is very welcome!
I have more or lesse the same problem, but I would need the swiss-german keyboard. Especially the settings to get the hardware keyboard working with äöü and éàè etc. would be nice.
About TomTom. You can get the installation cab for TomTom from the extended cab collection for ROMeOS2 from Monx here
http://monx.aplace4u.biz/ROMeOS2RAPHAEL/GER/EXTENDED/
This is listed under the german version, but I think it's multilanguage. Got it to work with the maps that were still on my SD card after flashing from swisscom to ROMeOS2 rom.
All right, sounds interesting. I Know that swiss-german keyboards are quite similar to swiss-french. The only difference is in fact this damn éàè and öäü.
Do you know any one who hasn'f flashed his Raphael yet? I basicly don't want to start on an empty base. As I said I'd like to have the PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files to modify...
Have you been on poketpc.ch forum and checked there for solutions? There are many German speaking guys how use Romeos. I don't have many time this month to do research.
Many thanks for le TomTom cab link, I'll check this out soon and keep you updated.
[edit]: TomTom Install worked great. It is multilingual indeed. Thanx noigear!

I might still take a look at it when I get a chance to do so. I'll check out pocketpc.ch in the meantime.

If you're talking about the Hardware Keyboard, you can change it easily to any map you like. To do that, using a registry editor, navigate to HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD change th value of CurLang to 2055 for CH-DE
For any other keyboard mapping referr to http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/r...p/xp-lcid.mspx and get the value listed for the desired language.
Don't forget to softreboot and you're done.
Hope this helps
And what about remaping not full keyboard layot but some buttons in any stations? (With Fn or Shift pressed).
Are Hardware Keyboard is sensible to PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files, or this mapping info is only for touch screen layot?
Owww god damned, I don't beleve it, the solution is sooooo simple (Sorry for my swearing, it's just emotional, lol)
Thank you a lot bluenote77 for this advise.
Unfortunately for vip77, I do not care at all for the touch screen keyboard so i'm not gonna spend more time as necessary to find an answer to the question. May be on my next vacation...
The absolut luxury at the moment would be if you guys knew a tweak for the SMS/MMS button on the keyboard, to call the SMS application by default...
Mr. HD, I'm talking about hardware keyboard, not screen virtual.
I want to remap digits from 1-9 in not english layout, because input of digits avilible only in english layot and not avilible in other language layot.
It's not useful.
@VIP77
All right, in that case, you might be able o perform a remap within the PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files. But I didnt figure out how they work and what kind of data (HEX or ALPHA) they contain.
I'm alway glad to have inputs about that.
Chears
Mr. HD thank you for this information. I spend alot time to find solution for this issue. My primary language is Russian, so every user of HTC TP have this issue. Also we can't input "." symbol. "Trick" is switching layot every time, when i need input digit or dot. It's owful.
Some peoples made new firmware, that have this fix, but they don't want talk about solution. And i don't want go to this version for some reason. I was trying change KbdNopAll.dll to new, from this firmware, but digit input disapiared from all layots.
So i have opinion, that some files or dll's may contaion addition info, not only KbdNopAll.dll driver.
Also i find program, that scan codes and can remap them from buttons and they have similar form. Like codes from PQwertyxxxxxx.txt
It's called AEKeyboard Mapper.
http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
Problem - this software scan codes only in english layot. In russian on all keypresses returning only one code.
So i think I can scan button codes, find them in PQwertyxxxxxx.txt files and change or alias.
Something like this )
This sounds like a painfull job. I hope you will get an issue. in case you didn't see here's the link from my first post, maybe it will help you.
http://www.modaco.com/content/smart...obile-smartphone-internationalization-issues/
Update OK
i have correct my german Raphael with ceregedit, and in /HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/ i have set 2055 (German_Swiss ), and work fine!
thanks for the help!
Hi Mr. HD,
Don't know if you still need it or if it might be helpful but I have a backup of my old Sunrise stock ROM. Just send me a PM should you need it.
