Other Input Options - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I have used Character Recognizer from day one... Do to a burst of frustration my HTC Diamond's life ended tragically... So opened my trunk of goodies and pulled out my old school Blue Angel.. Thanks to Chef Tony I now have WM6.5 installed and working great.. BUT I only have the standard keyboard for my SIP.. How do I get the other standard input methods back on the device..

There are cabs floating around for things like the transcriber. I believe that there was a post by motisu that had a transcriber cab somewhere in here. As far as other keyboards, check Chef's guide. he has several alternative keyboards in there. Good luck!

bump, so you find it easier.
also, while being on the topic of input options: egzthunder, did you happen to find that ezinput cab? i still haven't found the newest version.

Dutty's V3 and the keyboard

First off I love the ROM!
I just got a brand new Tilt and installed this ROM and now the punctuation on my keyboard is all mixed up. The @ and ! are switched, the ; and : and " and ' are all mixed up! I searched and couldn't find a post to fix this. I even read the first 50 pages of Dutty's post for the ROM.
Any help would be appreciated.
i had the same problem, but i think it was because it was made for hermes... but all i do for them is use the on screen keyboard.
I don't feel like slinging insults followed by "use the search better"
The Kaiser keyboard is different than the Tilt keyboard. You need to find the Tilt keyboard fix.

The XT9 fix doesn't fix keyboard allignment. That, and Dutty's DualTouch V3 doesn't have XT9 installed anyway .
The layout is for a different version of your device. Use this cab to fix it:

Thanks gthing. I grabbed the cab earlier. Keep up the good work.

How does this entry method works?!?!

In my qtek s200 I got suggestions of words (without T9) that the qtek learned.
Now with diamond it doesn't work without t9.
I tried to change it in settings but with no results.
Any suggestions?!
Thnx!
Try search the forum with "word completion" as the keyword. You should be able to find an answer there.
Thnx... but I tried many things but in one way or another there is always at least one problem.
First I tried with registry... and the alphabetic keyboard was not present anymore (only numeric). Then I tried with a cab that was in another thread and it worked only with the first letter and if I start deleting the word (incredibly the word completion started) then when I start with the next word again nothing happens. Also with this cab after a couple of hours the same problem like in registry....
I have no solution till now!!!
Can anybody halp me to make my word completion works... without T9 and for every word that I start writing and with no disappearing alphabetic keyboard!?!?
Thnx a lot!!!
Urosh
I realised that all the solutions were for MS input method...
Is there a solution also for HTC input methods?? Like qwerty keyboards!?!
Thnx!!

Yesterday I gave up on the Diamond keyboard and installed "TouchPal" it really is a lot better and faster to enter text, google it and give it a try.

So it means that really with the HTC keyboard (full qwerty) is not possible to use the word completion?!?! How is it possible?!?!
Any other suggestions!?!?

Swedish Hardware keyboard and software T9 fully working!

For all you swedish people that has not yett gotten this to work on WWE roms heres how i got it to work. I was so happy and as i seen no one has yett to post a good explination on how to get BOTH t9 and hardware to work. So here is how. If you follow this list YOU WILL get it to work. AND DO EXACLY as i tell you.
1. Download the latest Nrg rom 2.0 It has the new Manilla and i myself think Nrg does a great work with hes roms. Keeping them upp to date and good speed.
Install this rom then continue to next chapter
2. Download the lang pack so that you can get full swedish support on all menus and so on so forth.
http://xboxmod.totalgamer.org/release/additionnal_language.cab
or from the new manilla thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
3. On your phone Press start then go to Programs / Utilities then run the Keyboard selector program. choose Htc Keyboard.
4. Download the
[APP] Scandinavian KB Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496876&highlight=swedish
Install and run this program. when its upp Select Norwegian. NOT swedish. Restart the Phone and you will be able to type åäö using your hardware keyboard.
5. now open the registry editor and go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
and put in on "CurLang"=41D
this will make whole meny swedish
6. now to make your t9 swedish WITHOUT crewing upp your Hardware keyboard.
go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402121
And download that cab and install it to your phone.
When done go to the T9 config and select swedish.
You have now a phone with full swedish config and a good new rom.
Hope you enjoy this and are as happy as i were when i got this working.

Nice Work jimmyhawkin!
One Question ... Does this change the complete system to Swedish or Manila only?
Mvh
HueMann i Skåne
Well manila only for this one but i guess the only thing left to do is change region setting to swedish and you have all fixed
Note that with the Nrg rom and the new manila you hardly ever see anything but the manila shell. Depends on what you work with. but for normal uses you hardly ever see anything but manila.
But if you want to go even further then i deskribe change the region setting to swedish.
May I ask why my posts were deleted?
I think they have a rule here that only "members" with 1000 posts or more can post..... I've also noticed my posts being removed or Moved to the "Don't Ask Questions!" Thread as well...
This is amazing
Thanks alot, Jimmy!
I'm actually really satisfied with this ROM, and the manilla is just amazing.
Together with this Swedish pack, it's perfekt, if you don't think about the small manilla bugs, which will probably be fixed by the Xboxmod people.
Huge thanks!
One thing, though; is there any way to make the whole WM6.1 Swedish?
Google is your friend But i search this time for you.
As it seems sins this rom has a English windows mobile installed. Swedish is not included. So you will have to live without that.
But if you ask me its a small price 2 pay sins its not verry often you digg down that deep in to the system. Normal days use your in Manilla all the time.
So sorry swedish in windows is not possible. But if you want a fast rom with the new manilla this is the way to go. If you want a rom that totaly swedish and frankly made me nuts sins its so slow and ****ty. well then you use the rom icluded on the phone or a shedish rom that can be downloaded here on the forums. but thats the same as the one that comes with the phone.
cant get it to work
i did as you sayd and åäö doesnt function wat to do ?

I had to use -Norwegian (Bokmal) 1044 because finnish version did not work.
Now every button's with FN+ funktion works like they should work.
Does this work with the latest NRG ROM? With Manila 2.5 Max sense?

Can't get this to work. I replaced 1033 with 41D in CurLang and did softrestart. Nothing changed for me
Edit: Hardreset fixed it instead. Thanks!

Has Transcriber been removed from WM 6.5?

Before I upgrade my TD2 to 6.5, I need to be sure that Transcriber hasn't been removed. It's the only reason that I use WM, so pretty catastrophic for me if its been dropped. I've checked the new 6.5 manual on the HTC site and there's no mention of it in the input options.
Thanks

i don't see it anywhere...looks bad man...i'm sure there is someone who can wrap it up in a cab for you... ?
check this thread in combination with the list in here - hope this helps
Transcriber is still included with ROM dumps. I personally don't cook it in my roms. Also EzInput will kill the default SIP menu.
I don't know if any cooks cook include that.
I have Diamond 2 with official wm6.5 ELL
Transcriber does not exist. Neither Letter Recognizer.
I'm going to beleive that official ROMs suck. If there was the guarranty limitation, I have already shifted to an English or cooked ROM.

Thanks, I was originally following that thread, but as it was for the block recogniser l was discouraged. Perhaps I'm one of the few that use Transcriber.
However the link you provided to sip registry Keys was enough to make me upgrade. l carefully followed the procedure and it bricked the TD2. A hardware / factory reset brought it back.
transcriber workaround
No, you are certainly not the only one using transcriber!!
To make it work again, locate it in the \windows directory and drop a link into the start menu. You can then always start it as a program and switch back to finger input by the standard input selection. Should transcriber start such that more than half of the display is unusable for input, just switch from portrait to landscape and back - everything should look good then!
As stated, it's just a workaround, but it works 100% and isn't too bad in handling!
Have fun, André

Hi, yes the transcriber isn'y there, you might have to made some mod on the registry in order to make it work.

You will be pleased to know that it is back, as a download from HTC web site.
You have to install after updating to latest ROM.
Here's the link to the worldwide HTC site for the block transcriber. They have it for the Rhodium and Touch Diamond 2
Hope this helps
I've changed my reg value to 00000000 etc to allow the install of the update, and its given me back the block recogniser and letter recogniser but not the transcrber
d0oes anyone know how to restore transcriber?
fixed after changing the reg, and downloading the update, you then need this transcriber cab

Handwriting and Manila 2.5 ROMS

Can anyone tell me if there is a ROM like the Energy ROMS by NRGZ28 that still have the handwriting option in the Touch screen input selector? I really like the speed and features of NRGZ28's ROM's and so far they work great but I would dearly love to have the handwriting input again as I find it hard to see without my reading glasses... Or maybe someone knows of a CAB file to download to add this option?
Thanks in advance...
Regards Ismael
For the Letter and Block Recognizer you can check out this cab file
Also for Transcriber (only for English) you can check out this cab file
Thanks for that but just in case anyone else is interested I also had to load another cab called enableRecognizers as well. Thanks a million great to have it back again.
Regards Ismael...
Well it worked for one trial. The next day I tried and it kept dropping back to Touch input. When I go to Options and select letter or block recogniser and then click options button it says the recogniser could not be loaded... I tried reinstalling but didn't help. I tried a soft reset and also turning off the phone and back on but no joy... I loaded Transcriber (didn't see it until I submitted this post) and that works. Will wait and see what happens from here...
Regards Ismael
Thankxxx is a must!!
many many thx for this cab I have been using the P990i for a 3 years and I'm still exploring this new world of Xperia since 2~3 months, the first reason I insist on buying it even though that many new models shown in the market is this great forum...
With such posts I become more and more familiar with the wonderful to tell X1..
Long lives XDA..
Hi all, as an update to this post for those that are interested. I mentioned that was using energy ROMs in my X1a, I found that if I use 23xxx roms even Transcriber wouldn't function properly. I also found that using 23xxx roms caused other issues with different apps as well. Using the 21911 Roms my X1 is quicker and the handwriting works okay. Seems that my particular X1 doesn't like 23xxx versions.
Pays to test a few different ROMs when problems arise even of the same variant or version. Also I run IGO8 and on the MaxSense ROM in landscape mode it was full screen and on Standard Energy 2/3 screen and Cookie Sense full screen also.
Regards Ismael
Just some feedback from my experience up to now.
Hi to everyone, I am tracking the topic and the issues of transcriber and letter recognizer reported. FYI I am using now Energy 23xxx Dinik Glass july 24th version and both input methods are running like a charm. Moreover they were also working great in july 10th version of the same rom and in the past while using many of valkyrie roms no issue there at all. Really I do not understand why you guys have problems with them...
