Fix for Font Problem with new imate ROM and Opera

There's two ways you can fix this.
First:
1) Buy Tweaks2k2 and install on your imate Product
2) Using the Tweaks Program, change the system font
3) Soft Reset using psshutxp (NOT USING THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) Start Opera (Problem is solved)
5) (Optional) Run Tweaks2k2 again and change system font back to original (Tahoma). Soft Reset again using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
Second option (because I'm cheap and I don't want to buy the program:
1) Look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../html/cgconreplacingwindowscedefaultfonts.asp
2) Using a Registry Editing Program, go to the registry entries listed in the link above and change the name of the font (i.e. "Nm") to Courrier New. I recommend you do this to all 4 registry lines (Someone who's smarter than me can figure out which one specifically does the job).
3) Once you've changed the "Nm" entry of the 4 listed registry keys listed above, do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) After reboot, run Opera and the problem is solved.
5) (Optional) Go back and change the 4 registry keys to their original value (Tahoma) and do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON) Hope this helps.

Or another easier way.
Just copy verdana.ttf from your computer to your /windows/fonts directory on your Universal.

Wrong....
The only thing that helps is to copy Verdana.ttf from PC to /Windows older on Universal.

I love this forum and you guys !
thanks you ! Will try this ASAP

Thanks....
goxboxlive,
Thanks for the comments. I tried you're way as well. You're right, its even easier. However, if folks want to put a custom font on their machine (way off topic), they can use the registry edits I used above. I've been playing with it for a while now. I had no idea you could do all this stuff. Fun.

Hi there. Yes it's a funny machine, there's a lot things you can do with it. One of the funniest things is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35972&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

works as well here, sometimes the most simple solution are the most efficient ones !

Can someone explain what the 'psshutxp' is?
Thanks

It's a skinnable little app that allows you to turn the screen off (not just backlight - separate utility as well), soft reset, power down, and hard reset. I use it to turn the backlight off and do a soft reset if I can't find my stylus.
Note that the recommendation is probably made with regards to the soft reset otherwise possibly being done before the registry/file changes are written away. You can alternatively wait a while, or try to power down the device fully (hold the on/off (standby, really) button for a while, and you should get a prompt).

Re: Thanks....
Actually I copied Arial.TTF into the font folder and it became the default font. Tried calbri instead and it too worked..
BUT once you have added a font to the directory I cant seem to delete it.
What I am having happen, is the keyboard pops up as soon as Opera opens, when I close it Opera unboots, ditto with IE now..

PLEASE dont yell at me!!!! Error 120 tried everything

ok so i am upgrading to jwrights newest 2.02 xbow rom and i keep getting the awesome 120 error.
I have tried MaUpgradeUt_noID and i get "Ruu.dll was not found".
I can not extract the files from Jwrights executable file. If I could open his "MDA_PRO_WWE_20200_20305_11300.exe" I know what to do but I can not extract the files from that EXE.
Heck if I could open that up I could put my 1.15 radio file in there and run this upgrade all at once.
I have read through the thread below and there is nothing listed about how to deal with an executable rom and the 120 country error code.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Instructions for those with Country Code error
I have tried after syncing it. I have tried in boot mode. I am using XP with 4.5 activsync. I currently have jwrights 2.01.06 xbow on the uni. I have tried to extract the "MDA_PRO_WWE_20200_20305_11300.exe" using stuffit and pe explorer, to no avail. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance

got it.
this thread was very helpfull

I had to go to c drive, documents and settings, admin (or whoever you are logged in as), then to "Local Settings" which is a hidden file, then to temp folder. Once there there will be folders like "{01F9CB7E-E0B1-40CD-B57E-5E91A8408C67}" in that folder will be the files you need.
Then you copy everything to a folder on your desktop. Then add the "maupgradeut_noid" file to that folder and double click maupgradeut_noid then click next and there ya go.
I also replaced the "radio_.nbf" file so I could have radio 1.15 instead of 1.14 which comes with jwrights 2.02.
I added the above instructions incase someone is as retarded as me lol. FISH

All you have to do is press the light button (next to the volume slider) the power button and the reset button all at the same time, this will reset your phone and put it in bootloader mode (The screen has text on it, but is not lit so you will need a well lit room) next plug the USB cable in wait for your computer to recognise your phone and then just double click on JWrights rom upgrade app.
PS make sure you have a fully charged battery

Reverting to Factory Settings. HELP!

I installed the WM6 Black, and my keyboard is not inputing the right chars...I tried the RegEdit fix but nothing. I am trying to revert to the factory Cingular settings and I am using RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_.06.502.3_6275_1.33.31.00_108_Ship.exe. I keep on getting update error message. I have no idea what to do...Please help me. I am getting very frustrated with this thing. I looked at the Wiki and I see nothing regarding my question. Same thing for the forum.
Thank you in advance.

I had this with my T-Mobile ROM, the .exe file expands the files into a temp directory, the only one you need is the .NBH.
1. Copy this file to your storage card and rename it 'HERMIMG.nbh'.
2. Plug device into mains charger.
3. Push & Hold the side 'OK' and 'Power' buttons.
4. Reset the device.
5. Your now in bootloader.
6. Holding the 'Reset' button with the other two will make the device search for and run the HERMIMG.nbh file.
7. Make a coffe or something... (It takes about 25 minutes).

This is the quickest fix I have read about. Works with out a hitch for everyone who has done it.

Cool. I m happy I can finally do this. Although I would like to fix the keyboard instead...Anyways what solution do you guys know of that will fix the keyboard? Also where can I get that .nbh file?
Thanks a lot!!!

You can either use WinRAR to unpack it or if you run the .exe it will unpack to '\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp'.
I would suggest going back to this ROM as a diagnostic tool to make sure the keyboard isn't faulty...Just make sure you upgrade to SPL 1.35 Olipro first as this makes your phone almost unbrickable in future! If you do brick it so either your stuck in bootloader mode or the OS won't start follow the above instructions...

Well, I know for sure that my keyboard was working perfectly fine before doing the WM6 rom. I have tried fooling around in the Registry...didn't make it worse, but didn't make it better either. What values do you guys have for the qwerty in the registry? Also is there a program that will let you program what key gets what symbol?
I know I am trying to decide between factory, or trying to fix this keyboard characters mix up...
Thanks again.

Not to over-simplify, but what phone are you using? If it's the 8525, there's a CAB file to remap the keys to right places... just search for 8525 keyboard fix.

Here is keyboard .cab file fix.

Thank you very much guys. I solved the issue. The fix I ended up using was; going to my local Cingular store and beaming a reg editor into the live 8525 they have there, and looking at the registry where the qwerty is located the hexadecimal value on it is 40409 (located @ local machine/software/oem/qwerty/). Please let others know about this fix for the Cingular 8525.
Also thanks a million to those who actually put a linky and not just say there is something somewhere...
Thanks again,
Cris

To put a shortcut to any EXE file onto your start menu, all you have to do is the following:
1) Using FileExplorer, navigate to the directory containing the EXE you want a shortcut to.
2) Tap and hold on the EXE file, and select Copy from the context menu that popped up.
3) Navigate to Windows\Start Menu and you will see your current start menu programs in that folder. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and tap and hold in white space (a blank part of the screen below all other programs), then choose Paste Shortcut. This will place a shortcut in your start menu. You can then rename the shortcut to whatever you choose.
Hope that helps!

You don't have a touchscreen, do you? I guess my directions won't help too much, will they? You could try to apply something similar using the keyboard (and standard windows ctrl-key functions). It might work to just literally copy the EXE file to the Windows\Start Menu directory. Not sure if that will play nicely if your program has to reference files in it's "home" directory.
This might be closer to what you will need to be able to do that:

Assign anny Program launcher to Startbutton in upper left corner

Hallo
i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486712
With this program you can assign anny program to the "software" startbutton.
I mapped YotaCenter to start button and would say its far better than the new windows startmenu and the new htc start menu.
It has several advantages. YotaCenter enables you to place favorite apps in an easy way and brings a taskmanager.
Also other program launchers are better than the windows/htc one - so give this startbutton app a try

I want to do this could you tell me what I have to do as that thread is a bit confusing for a nooby?
Thanks

thanks!!!
hI MARKUSSIEBERT!! Thank you for your great app. I am happy finally! Thanks

has anyone got this working on dutty 2.3?

Yes - im using it with dutty 2.3 even if it seems that there are some unexpected behavios.
Unexpected behaviors are:
-sometimes (ever 15 - 20th touch) the original startmenu appears, but its ok
-a second click on "Start" doesnt close the launcher window (because it only launches)
How to use it:
1. install the cab
2. open any registry editor
3. goto HKCU\software\allelimo\StartButton\Run
4. change the value to what you want to start
If you want to launch:
\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
you have to insert:
MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
if you want to start an application that is not on the Program Files folder, you can write the full path instead:
\Memory Card\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
How to extend the hook to the "Start" text?
HKCU\software\allelimo\StartButton\HookText
Set this value to 1 for hooking the word "Start"
Delete the key for hooking only the Start button

yeah, i could get it to work from the memory card, but i reinstalled yota onto the phone and i got it working..
as you said clicking start doesnt close it,
one more (i dont know if it is limited to dutty 2.3) if you click to the right of the start text the normal start menu will come up, every time..

you have to diasble the new htc startmenu first,
