mda pro english rom upgrade

as any one already found a way to change german to english on mda pro sold in germany t-mobile

i'm also extremely interested into this topic.
i'll have the MDA Pro in about a week and want to try alt least 2 things:
1. english rom upgrade
2. switch the Z key with the Y key.
Thanks for the interest !

i have my german mda pro since today.
Problem is the warrenty sticker is in front of a screw.
So i dont know if we can switch eh Y and Z

i was hoping that it will be something like a pc keyboard ... that we can remove only the keys and not the entire keyboard.
mine arrives in a week ... so i still have to wait
do you like the german version or waiting to upgrade to english one ?

i am happy with it,
i will only start working on it till my xda 2 is sold.
in the mean time ill try to make it english and look at the keyboard

To remap the keyboard, use this: http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap_t.html
Takes a while to learn how it works, but works like a charm.
You will have to create your own keymap file.

I was succesfull to change the keyboard from QWERTZ to QWERTY
I wont recommend it, cause the size of Y and Z are a bit different.
The Z is ok and u wont notice, but the Y has 0,5 mm difference on the sides.
U can get used to it very fast though. And u dont really notice it.
This all without voiding warrenty stickers..
Now i need a english rom to enable QWERTZ ->QWERTY

excellent news ... can you give some detailed step by step
thanks

I also changed in the german rom the keyboard from qwertz to qwerty
by editing the registery
hardkeyboard show qwerty now, the on screen keyboard is still qwertz
but i dont use that one so much.
now for a english rom update...

maybe you can try using one of these keybord skins

The most difficult thing seems that we need an english ROM with the german keyboard.
Maybe someone who tried something like this have some answers.

So Guys Can I change the Germany Rom to English Rom on the MDA PRO, and after just change the keyboard settings? I am very interested in ,coz I would like to buy one soon. 8)

Phone pad (Intellipad) and Crossbow?

Hello!
I tried to install htc phone phone pad, all went ok, is functional, but...
the phone pad is very small and it can't be used.
Any solutions?

Umm, with crossbow there is absolutely no reason to use intellipad since the OS itself has smart dialing built-in to the phone application.

it is about writing with your thumb, not with the stylus....

Phonepad is the T9 style SIP, not smartdialling
Here ya go.

thank you AlanJC

@ AlanJC
I'm serching also for phonepad qvga version (for Hima WM5 AKU3.5), could you post it, if you have one working version (or one to try)?
thx

You could try looking on the Himalaya forum, or one of the other QVGA device forums, this is the Universal forum.

I know, I posted just in case you had it ... (same software, only different resolution)

here it is QVGA version:

Hi there. Would there be a version of Phonepad T9 for VGA with Dutch included as a language? This one only has English I believe.

Other languages?
How to integrate other languages than english into the cab? E.g. dutch or german?
I copied the t9germanldb.dll to the windows folder but I can't choose it in the phonepad options.
Is there a german vga phonepad anywhere???

Hi guys, i'm new from this forum, i'm searching a phonepad international VGA version for my eten x500+, it exists?!?!
I need a italian language!!!
Thanks.

Thankyou AlanJC - you do not know how grateful I am for the effort you have put into this SIP

Changing the keyboard layout

Hi everyone!
Many people out there from all over the world have upgraded their Artemis to Windows Mobile 6, thanks to people who are working hard on cooking nice ROMs for us. These people are used to a specific keyboard layout, many languages are using special characters too.
It would be nice to have a way to change the keyboard layout : something like easy installing CABs or a how to on what to change in the registry, what to remove on the storage, or whatever way to have our own keyboard on theses WWE ROMs.
Is it possible?

vive le france
Hi Romano2k,
The only thing that i have found was this regkey:
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks
But afaik does this regkey only work for the 'hard-keyboard' and not for the software-keyboard, so this answer won't help you a lot...
On my P3300 nothing changed with these keys and nothing happend when i changed the keys in 'HKCU\Keyboard Layout' In another forum i found a thread and they are saying you need a third-party software to change the software-keyboard...but for me it's no problem to use the english keyboard...but french keyboards are much stranger (i think french keyboard are the strangest keyboards that exists) and so i can understand your problem
Cheers
Peter

Love your reply's title
I agree with you, the french keyboard is strange, I wish they were only DVORAK keyboards all over the world! But I need my "é" "à" and so on... I'm sure there's a way to change the software keyboard!

Vive LA France
As far as I know it's a dll file that you would have to change. Never tried in WM6 to replace it, in WM 2003 it wasn't possible. Resco Keyboard would be an alternative if you don't want to try to change the layout yourself.

ups...
My french isn't that well....long time ago since school
I found a cab for the german keyboard, maybe you will find out more when you take a look inside this cab ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321236

And for us in Greece?
Hi all,
Is there any way to change the keybord to contain Greek characters???

German Keyboard for ROM2.03

Hi everyone! Ihave The taxist´s ROM 2.03 on my magician. It´s verygood, only the keyboard+ integrated in it i don´t like, because i need german signs like ä,ö,ü,ß, that are not supported. Does anybody know a soft keyboard (Freeware if possible) with a german layout? Need it badly!

German keyboard
Try this one.

Keyboard for Magician
Thank you so much!!! This keyboard is exactly the tool i´ve been searching for!!

Hi all. I am looking for a Greek Keyboard for the same ROM (2.03.TX WWE). Could you please make any suggestions.

Greek Keyboard
Try this one

Thanks a lot Mister B, the keyboard is working fine.

The keyboard (KbdDe.cab) is fine, BUT it is increadible slow on my magician (WWE 2.03 TX ROM). I've searched the forum for a solution, but most threads are about problems with XT9, i don't think I've installed that. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot...
Problem solved: After a softreset everything is ok.

CAB to change from AZERTY to QWERTY

Hello,
I have a Touch Pro 2 with a QWERTY physical keyboard and I have flashed a french ROM to sell my phone because I have upgraded to the HTC Desire.
The problem is that the ROM think my keyboard is in AZERTY.
I know there is some reg change to change it to QWERTY but I want to know if there is a CAB that can do this.
Thanks a million times in advance for the one that can help me.

If You cannot find it, I would propose to convert from .reg to .cab. There are programs out there who can do this for You, although I do not have experience with them. Sorry not even a name, cannot find it. Just do some searching around here.
