Hi there,
Well I have flashed my BA with WM5 ROM and the device is working flawlessly. Since my device is the Arabic version of the PDA2K, my keyboard comes with Arabic input as well. The 2003SE ROM comes with preinstalled Imaginet Arabizer that enables Arabic input with keyboard, and makes it possible to use the Arabic language in applications such as Messaging and Notes.
Now, after I have flashed to WM5, the same cabs from the 2003SE will not run. I have tried to install it, but it gave me multiple errors and the device did not function properly. Therefore I downloaded and tried the IMAGiNET Pocket Arabizer Suite 2.0.
Website: http://www.imaginet-software.com/index.aspx?p=products
Download: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=8809
The suite is excellent and its the exact software used on the 2003SE, but its updated to work on the WM5 as well. The only problems im facing are:
1. The keyboard goes crazy whenever i try to write a text message in English. The keyboard is practically useless when I am writing the first line of the message, but when it goes to the second line the keyboard becomes fine!
2. I can not write in Arabic on the keyboard. On the 2003SE, all I had to do was press SHIFT then SPACE, and Arabic was then enabled on the keyboard, but this doesnt seem to work now.
3. I dont have caps lock anymore! i.e., when I press SHIFT twice (or even more) it doesnt recognize it as caps lock, but only as SHIFT.
So far these are the only bugs I found, I dont want to test it out further if nothing can be done about it! But incase there is a chance, does anyone know if something can be done about this? As you can see my problem so far is only with the keyboard, coz everything else seems to be working fine. Any help is appreciated
Many thanks!

Any help Pls???
a regular install ??
have u tried installing the arabyising suite from imaginet, regularly... ?
u mentionned previously u would install a w2003se, is such a rom available ?
I'm downloading the Arabizer from Imaginet now and will install it as soon as the download completes, but I doubt it will work properly as it is made for windows mobile 2003 and not 2005.
Unfortunately ther is no such Rom "2003" for Jasjar.... if it were there, it would have been much much faster and reliable.

Dear Dr. Dardiri,
Thank you very much for your gr8 support.
I have those cab files which came with my Jasjar, but unfortunately whenever I try to install them with the new test rom they don't work properly and they disturb the whole thing, so I think that there is something which needs to be up-graded in these cab files to make them comply with the new test rom.
I'll try the old araizer from Imaginet web site, who knows?! it may work.
I will post the result here after trying to install it.
My email is [email protected]

they worked properly with me
i installed only 3 cabs , successively : the one with 1- acert, 2- acert2 , then 3- Ado , in this order, with no interruption inbetween, then i reset , it worked properly, i didnt use other cabs , as i used third party dictionary and calenders and stuff ... so i only installed the cab of my local provider , so that i be able to use wi-fi, everything is ok now. i installed the old imaginet arabizer , but it didnt work at all , and i hard reset.
one question though , i need to know how to use the arabic hardware keyboard as there s no alt key.

Actually I don't know how to use the hardware Arabic keys, but I will check in the mannual guide and post the way to do it here.
You can use the screen keyboard if you tap on the keyboard on the bottom of the screen and choose and then you tap the drop down list and choose لوحة المفاتيح" then you can use the Arabic screen keyboard.

Mohammad,
One of our room mates suggested me a solution, I tried it and it worked better than the default Arabizer which comes with the original old rom .
If you're interested to view the solution you can access it from this link:

Thanks again for your valuble support.

arabic hardware keyboard
hello khalled
i was wandering if the new arabizer suite u installed supported the hardware arabic keyboard, coz i failed to use it using the default cabs. i knew that the shortcut keys are (shift+Sym) but it didnt work ...
salam
Hello Dr. Dardiri,
I installed the Arabizer from Imaginet web site, and I can tell you that it's much better than the one came with the I-mate rom.
But unfortunately I tried the hardware Arabic Keyboard but didn't work with me.
I will report this to the i-mate website support and see the result.
Salam,

Hello gurus.
PCM Keyboard I consider as great tool the same as PocketCM. But now I discovered strange behaviour - when I'm trying to use it somewhere outside the PocketCm, I can't see text. I'm typing blanks only.
Inside PocketCM PCMK works properly. (no matter which version)
Would you suggest me how can I repair it ? (resets, reinstals, deinstals and instals again don't help)
A cople days ago I flash my Trinity with last WWE/Light bepe ROM. Before that I used the aplication with easy (on many ROMs) . I do not claim that it's because of bepe ROM, but who knows... Would someone with bepe ROM check this up?
thanks,
Malin.
The problem is bepe rom... or better... the new os version...
thanks for quick answer. now I at least know, that the problem is not in my system.
I hope, they adjust PCMK to new OS....
Try deactivating xT9. It works on my device (with Bepes Rom) when xT9 is deactivated in the rom settings tool.
Its also happening IN contact manager while typing an sms I am using the 0.15 verison
Yes, after deactivating xT9 it start working...Great - thanks for idea
guys,
i been trying to get help for a predictive text problem i'm having since i installed pdaviet manilla2d v18 on my hermes. it comes with those diamond keypads and predictive text for enu/esp/fra/ger/ita but not for portuguese (??????)
this rom is special cause it managed to get manilla2d working fine on hermes and still letting me do everything else, without compromising much speed. it's a found and i want to keep it until i find something better.
this rom won't let me install this cab HTC EzInput QVGA FullKbd 0409-RC1.cab which contains the same keypads but with various language packs. it will end up with the insufficient system permissions message. i did get it working on the V19 but this rom version is so buggy i had to step back to V18. I have also tried installing separate language packs but they won't work.
this insufficient system permissions problem has been covered before in this forum but has not been resolved as the one who had the problem found a different cab to use.
the only ways i see for fixing this would be get rid of security - which i've already tried using a microsoft program that keeps querying device for ever and ever and won't let me change anything or maybe finding another similar keypad kit with language packs that won't bump into the security level of this rom.
chef has released V20, will try this too in the mean time.
Check if you have .net 3.5 installed on your Hermes. I find it missing a lot. Re-installing might work too...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I do, yes. This is one of the first things I install after a flash, without it I can't run AdvConfig... have considered that too.
Hi out there,
i am totally new to this topic... i recently got an elder PDA, an iPaq hx2790 with WM5, german localization.
After being a liitle convenient in handling the device and the basics of installing additional programs to it, i had the wish to make the userinterface look a little more "nicer" or at least more usable ;-) I googled around and found some good-looking aspirants for my project. I downloaded Quick-Menu 2.8, GSMART, Ifonz2, Pointui... and i tried to install them, one after the other. The result ? Nothing.
Quick-Menu had in most menu-items only squares instead if characters (seems to be a common error in non english devices)
GSMART only added one push-button, when pressing it, nothing happened but the cross to cancel programs / leave screens in the upper right corner disappeared and the device was unbelieveable slow from now on (also reported by other users on http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-gsmart-today-plugin.html)
ifonz2 could be installed, but when i tried to start it manually (because my start screen looked like before) it *****ed around that .Net would be missing, although i installed the version adviced (3.5) in the readme by the author of the prog
Pointui could also be installed, but when i tried to start it manually it also told me that there would be missing a security certificate or some other thing would be missing.
Am i too silly or am i missing some special point ? How should these progs be started after SUCCESSFUL installation ? Do i even have to start them or shouldnt they rather start themselves ?
I am really at a point in time where i am willing to live with this odd WM5 Screen...
any help appreciated ;-).
Also suggestions for WM5-Interface replacements that will do what they propose to do .....
best regards
Freddy
You can still get PointUI to work. It's designed to be installed on pocket pc phones and looks for a couple dll files that are only found in phone edition roms. As far as I know, it looks for sms.dll and phone.dll (it might be different for german roms, I only have experience installing it on english roms). You can find these on the internet somewhere.
As for the others, I really have never tried them. Where did you download the .net installation program (exe or cab)? If you didn't, try downloading the versions directly from Microsoft's site (might take some searching). Another option to try is SPB Mobile Shell (you can get a trial version). Does this help?
thanx for your help.....
Steve,
thank you vey much for your help...
I downloaded sms.dll and phone.dll but GSmarts behaviour did nor change...
The first .net 3.5 was downloaded from softonic with a link provided from the author of iFonz... this one didnt work, it was only the small CAB-File. Then i downloaded the big one it directly from microsoft and it installed it right away on my PDA. iFonz then could be started and configured, but it didnt cope with my screen size and shutdown afer a short while (sigh!)
So i guess i finally will give the iPhone simulating apps a last chance... if this doesnt work, i keep my MW5 as it is ;-(
Thanx alot Steve
Freddy
I did a full install today of the official 6.1 rom to my i780, and as u might know u get to chose your language and keyboard setup, Swedish, norweigen, danish english and more.
i guess this has to be an "app" in the updatefiles taking care of this?
when i updatet my PDA to a cooked rom my layout changes on the soft and "hard" keyboard and as i have the Swdish keyboard layout i like åäö to work both soft and hard.
if it is possible to "take out" the app that "sets the langugae" in the original setup.exe should'nt we either be able to use it in cooked rom or get info of wjat changes has to be done to make my hard and soft keyboards work with other layouts than english?
I have searched but not find solution but alot of ppl has the same
I'm interested in this too.
Some one more into to this Rom building/cooking should be able to tell me if there is a chance of making this happen?
When i do a new installation of NORDIG official rom 6.1 i get to choose lagugae/layout for my phone, and a "formating" procedure runs and then resets the phone and my device is "swedish" as i see it this means in the updatefiles there is a app. that has all nordic and english "language packs" inkluded.
the "app" them makes all settings and uses dictonery and keyboard setup to my language, this means to med that it should be posible to add this "app" to a cooked rom? i knew there is alot of people here that wants this done.
