Transcriber Missing in WM6.1 Classic - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

hai guys, I noticed after using it a few weeks that I'm missing the Transcriber feature as input option in my WM6.1 Classic, I'm using CE OS 5.2.2021 Build 19199.1.0.0
I searched around here and tried two different Transcriber.Cab's from this site and from www.4winmobile.com bot do not work (Transcriber still doesn't show up; and WM6.1 installer tells me "it may not work, as program is designed for an older version"). No registry entries either (I searched for "transcriber" keyword across entire registry).
Can anyone pretty-please help me out on this one ?
I'm using a hx2495b iPAQ and got the english ROM from a (Korean?) website, which was linked from here (somewhere in a "hx2000"-ROMflashing thread. Everything else seem to work fine.
thx

Nope doesnt work, if i read it correctly it's for BLOCK RECOGNIZER and not for TRANSCRIBER - i looked into the CAB-file, and it's pointing to a MSIMNL.DLL (for Netherlands InputModule) so i did it manually to MSIM.DLL (which is 120kbyte in size) - which according to the registry is/was set correctly, but not even in the registry was a TRANSCRIBER pointer/entry. After installing your suggested CAB i got TWO BLOCK RECOGNIZER modules/choices
It seems to me that both relevant DLL's are there (MSIM.DLL w. 120kbyte) and a MSIM.96.DLL (67kbytes in size), just missing the proper registry pointers to "activate" it.
anyone more suggestions?
cheers

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313081
works on my Loox N560 WM6.1. And it looks the full monty!

well, it's getting closer
it shows at least up now in the input selection pull-down menu, but it's kinda "defective" the area is not completely drawn, and it's missing entries. My windows-Installer tells me that this too was "designed for an older version of windows Mobile"
again, I'm using WM6.1 Classic, CE OS 5.2.2021 Build 19199.1.0.0 and in soft-boot the boot ROM reads as version # 5.20.01.C ENG
i got my ROM from here http://www.pdaviet.net/showthread.php?t=23740&page=2
not sure if that helps further

hm, now i got even a weirder effect.
i got myself Calligrapher v8.7 Build 8.379.0810
but the wierd thing is, it installs nicely, but i cannot start it up. Only the Config Manager and the PenCommander start up, but the WriteAnywhere or WritePad will not start, I cant even put in my serial number.
I noticed that at installation it has an option to uninstall the original WM 6.1 TRANSCRIBER (which I'm missing) - that option had a check-mark, but was "grayed out"/disabled.
anyone have an idea ? I'm getting desperate
cheers
@

I'm having the same problem as atlana, I installed Calligrapher 8.7 but cannot get it to launch. Calligrapher support suggested I delete some plug-ins from my Today screen, but even with NO plug-ins I could not launch Calligrapher.
Has anyone come up with a fix? thanks

Any Traditional Chinese Handwrite Input function?
Thanks
As Ricky said, i would also like to thank jasjamming first...
now..
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Ricky. Your solution is the only one that works stably for reading chinese... again, thank you very much!
Hi Ricky
I just installed the rom, and I notice that the font size is funny. The default size for the menu item does not change even if i change it in the screen adjustment screen (Settings-> system -> Screen). This does not happen with your old rom...
Thanks!
Slider
HKFreak:
Sorry that I did not include any of the handwriting software this time, I was trying to create a cab file for the Handwriting, however, everytime I installed the cab file I made the touchscreen would stop function (need to use hard reset to fix).
I'll find a solution later on... (oh well... maybe it's time to try 3rd party inputs )
Slider5354:
Hi, I realised this problem too, it is due to a reg key for chinese to enable "line break" (not sure if you have seen this problem on the previous version or not), if you use PIE to visit chinese/japanese websites, the text would not break into lines properly.
Once I added change the reg key the line break problem solved.
what you can do is change the reg key back to english one, use the RegEdit problem in System, find the key called "SystemLCID", change the value from 404 to 409 and do a soft reset, should fix your problem
X01HT Installed and Working Well!
Well done Ricky, awesome job. I found the Japanese input pretty painful, as it didn't have the correct romaji option, instead the layout for a true Japanese keyboard, which the X01HT doesn't have.
I used Asukal's one (tried to upload, but no go) and that is exactly as it should be. You might look at replacing your's with that one.
I will let you know how it goes as I run it through its paces, but its looking impressive so far.
Now where's the Black 3.5 version
Thanks, got it!!
Sorry, got it, thanks
thanks to you and the original rom chef jj. would like to know is 簡易 input method included?

Thanks Ricky.. I notice text break problem too, and this happens even with regular English rom + CE-Star.. so I guess we can only choose no line breaks, or weird font size... :-\
I've been runing the ROM ever since it went up and haven't had to do a reset yet, whereas with the straight Black 3.01 with the hacks to get it using Japanese, I found myself resetting 5 or more times a day.
Thanks for a great stable release!
Is this rom built up from black 3.0 insted of 3.01?????
I found the Black 3.0 bug still on this ROM....
1) today theme cannot be changed(only Top/Under Bar can be changed)
2) symbol pad cannot be loaded.
how to use korean
I want use korea.
how can i use korea language.
The Voice Command button also disabled. Any idea how to enable it?
And is it possible to set the default input from '拼' to English? (For both keyboard and soft keypad) Thanks!
Ricky, can you post the Japanese SIP cab file on its own?
I'm trying to muck around with Black 3.5. and the Asukal one I've been using up until now doesn't want to work properly.
flashed this no prob. used it to replace 3des + CE Star, which was a very unstable combination.
this is working great. fine job Ricky, and also to whoever did black. Nice ROM. I love my phone again.
anyone know where there is a manual on the input methods. they take some getting used to after CEStar, a manual would help.

Really , just can't enable kansaku & tegaki. On 3.5 & all the new released roms.
Yes. All versions > 2.5 seemed not support SIP switching.
I guess some REGISTRY changed.
I switched to LVSW two weeks ago.
It works great!

Sleuth's Developer ROM v2.0 Released!

v2.0 of my developer ROM is now available. Core/XIP is the official WM6 core. Bluetooth, Power Management, Communications Management and GDI are also from the official ROM. Most of the built in apps have been refreshed. Finally, for you Tom-Tom/VPN addicts, the DUN bluetooth profile is now available in addition to Internet Sharing!
Because my imgfs is completely custom, this ROM will report itself as follows:
CE OS 5.2.1437(Build 17913.0.3.0)
v2.1 of this ROM includes:
Both DUN and Internet Sharing bluetooth profiles are available!
SDHC support: tested with 4GB cards
GLYPHCACHE limt re-optimized at 32,768
Mobile Office 2K7 includes OneNote 2K7
My ATI Imageon patch cooked in
The New Block style CommManager GUI is enabled.
The latest build of HTC X-Button v1.51 cooked into the base ROM.
The Cyberon voice dialer which can save/restore voice tags is cooked in.
Windows Live build 1400 (more stable than what is in the current Official ROM) is cooked into the base ROM
4MB Paging File
Big Storage
A2DP optimized for highest Fidelity based on hardcore's research.
additional apps: GSFinder+, DotFred's Taskmgr, PHM Regedit, SIPChange, Austinboy's Fieldtest, Adobe Reader LE, Audio Manager, Streaming Player
Windows Update and QOS removed
VoIP optimizatons: dialplan normalized for US calling (default areacode is 262 on 7 digit calls), connect over 3G as well as WiFi enabled
Live Search today plugin is set to use Google and works just fine when spaces are part of the search term
can toggle the phone skin between Video and Non-video modes using lsvw's TweakUI program
WM6 tap sounds are enabled
This ROM will play 3G streams or local mp3s over A2DP in powersave mode to Coreplayer or Audio Manager. Unfortunately, WMP can't do this. This is because I forgot to refresh WMP
The Official bluetooth Handsfree Profile has been cooked into this ROM. This provides even better Car Kit compatiblity.
This ROM is free for you to personalize. I'm not in this for the donations (although they're always appreciated ), rather my primary focus is to give you a better Hermes. So, use this base ROM to learn the ROM kitchens then go make your own ExtROM for this to customize Today Screen etc. Simply add a file called preconfig.txt to /windows to enable autoconfig (you'll need to dump a production ROM to unravel the syntax btw) to run your extrom at cold-reset startup. Because Preconfig.txt has been removed, the base rom has no autoconfig and will go directly to the today screen.
Free storage memory remains at about 49MB and free program memory is 29MB. Displayed Today screen items have been reduced and re-ordered in this manner (note: the additional plugins are still present, just unchecked in Today settings):
Date
Live Search
Internet Calling
Owner Info
Email messages
Appointments
The installer will also upgrade your splash screens to the Gold HTC Innovation theme. Your Radio, IPL and SPL will remain unchanged. However, for best results I recommend running a radio that's at least 1.40. AT&T subscribers in the US should upgrade to the v1.48.00.00 radio for vastly improved performance.
I'm using OliPro's latest RUU installer in this version and recommend installing using the SSPL option. Vista users: be sure to check out this guide for how to make SSPL installers work on your version of Windows. Or, jcespi2005 reports that with the latest WMDC (v6.1), you can upgrade through CustomRUU normally like in XP. WMDC 6.1 itself can be found here.

"Bling" in this ROM
Sorry, but there are no fancy today themes, catchy colors or spectacular splashes included in this base ROM. All you get is performance and reliability. Bling is a personal expression, so you're free to add your own.
So, what's on your today screen? Post screenshots! Upload themes & post links and I'll put them below.
CUSTEL's black theme (thanks CUSTEL) http://www.tri-syndicate.com/CUSTEL.tsk.zip (just change the name to CUSTEL.tsk after downloading, its not a zip file). I'm actually running this one now because the block style taskmanager looks better with black menu/taskbars.
v2.0 Release Notes (check back here periodically for updates)
X-Button requires the latest versions of SPB Weather/SPb Time to correct the "Black Font" issue. The latest version of SPB Weather is v1.7.0 Build 767 and the latest version of SPB Time is v2.1.5.
The softkey editor settings are initially out of sync with the actual softkeys. Additionally, you must SR after the first time you use it to get your changes to stick. After that, the program works normally. This is a HTC bug unfortunately in softkeyapplet.cpl
executables stored on your SD card that don't have their own icons will flicker when viewed with the built in Filemanager. GSFinder+ does not experience this quirk. It's very unusual for a Windows Application to not have an icon resource built in so you will probably not even see this one. If you must see what it is I'm talking about, download powerstatus.exe from here, store it on your SC card then view the directory in filemanager.
Be sure to soft-reset after you complete the initial startup. This will activate HSDPA and initialize your WiFi MAC address.
Howto: Speed up CommManager and free up storage memory.
Use PHMRegedit to search for the value "DisableButtonText". Change this value from a 2 to a 0. Reset your Hermes by pressing and holding the power button then answering yes to the dialog that is eventually displayed. The downside is that you disable the "eye candy" interface too.

With your previous release I had some problems car charging; but now I run the Dopod rom and I don't have the problem anymore.
I will try your rom and report back.

If so its just that activesync hasnt detected the phone, disconnect, soft reset it, let it boot to windows mobile and plug the usb lead in again.. then try again.
Just flashed this one and noticed something strange.. My WiFi MAC has changed.. it isnt missing.. but it is weird and may be an indication of a WiFi MAC bug..
Its now 00-00-00-00-AC-9D which doesnt look like a valid MAC address..
Im gonna try it now and see if its still working.
/edit: It Isnt working, networks all come up as unavailable when I try to connect to them but its not the same issue as the DeadWLAN one as I CAN activate wifi.
hmmm.. seems that the solution is to turn on wifi, then soft reset.. when it comes back up your MAC will be right again and all will be fine.
Strange bug/error? Or just my device playing silly games?

So many ROMS, so little time! Sleuth's v3.0 Developer ROM is here

If you're a ROM flashing addict, nows a good time to own a Hermes!
This ROM has been completely re-worked and is now based on the official imgfs. It reports itself as follows:
CE OS 5.2.1437(Build 17944.0.3.1)
ChangeLog
v3.2 (available now!) contains the following fixes:
The v3.1 patch
The Aku portion of the CE build number now displays correctly
All Softkey cpanel applet issues identified in the release notes have been corrected
Audio Manager v1.02 build 614.712 refresh fixes the "only plays one song in standby mode" issue. This is the official build information reported by the so-called Audio Manager 1.2 update btw.
Initflashfiles no longer copies information from \windows to \program files\<app dir> for Sipchange, GSFinder+, Taskmgr and Fieldtest. This increases storage memory by about 1 meg.
Notes:
if you restore from backup after upgrading to this version, the developer utilites will be restored back to \program files and storage memory will be decreased to your original amount. To prevent this, exclude the app directories "green software", "sipchange", "taskmgr" and "fieldtest" as well as the applications' associated shortcuts in \windows\start menu\programs from the restore. Also exclude the sipchange shortcut from \windows\startup.
There will not be a v3.2 Crackberry edition. Sorry.
v3.1 includes target.img.zip which corrects the Intent Java midlet manager issue identified in the release notes
v3.0 of this ROM includes:
Both DUN and Internet Sharing bluetooth profiles are available!
SDHC support: tested with 4GB cards
GLYPHCACHE limt re-optimized at 32,768
Mobile Office 2K7 includes OneNote 2K7

The softkey editor settings are initially out of sync with the actual softkeys. Additionally, you must SR after the first time you use it to get your changes to stick. After that, the program works normally. This is a HTC bug unfortunately in softkeyapplet.cpl
Because the base imgfs has been changed back to hermes from its previous Universal base, this ROM will also change your device ID if you are upgrading from previous Sleuth ROMs. The device ID will become identical to the official Hermes ROM device ID.
Howto: Speed up CommManager and free up storage memory.
Use PHMRegedit to search for the value "DisableButtonText". Change this value from a 2 to a 0. Reset your Hermes by pressing and holding the power button then answering yes to the dialog that is eventually displayed. The downside is that you disable the "eye candy" block-style interface too.
If Midlet Manager displays the following message: "Cannot run target.img" then copy the attached target.img.zip to /windows on your hermes to resolve. If you need this fix cooked in, then follow these instructions:
deactivate direct push & your data connection if you run Direct Push
Take a full backup with your favorite backup software.
Download v3.2 from the above rapidshare link & install.
Restore from backup.
If pressing the "Calendar", "New SMS" or "New MMS" softkey displays a not found message then download and install the attached calendarfix.cab to correct. Make sure you choose "Install to Device" if asked.
This rom is based on the DoPod release. Because of this, vp3g's ptt cab will not enable PTT on AT&T networks.
Great release, nice work Sleuth
gonna try it tonight
Will have to wait until BB Connect is compatible before I try this out.
Car Kit Profile
Sleuth, does this ROM also include the updated car kit profile your V2/2.1 ROM had?
I tried to activate the ext. rom in v2.1, but didn't succeed. I did read a lot and tried different rom kitchens but no way I could activate the ext. rom.
Could someone please recook this rom, with activated ext. rom?
I would like to have this, so I can use my RemoteProtect software in a more secure way. After a hardreset everything will be re-installed.
Thank you in advance
Same request, my sincere apology.
Any other mirror available other than rapidshare and megaupload? Todate, can't seem to download anything from the 2 sites.
Thanks in advance.

The same HEX editing should be applicable to this release.
Why do you put the Cyberon Dialer? That is one of things I hated about the stock firmware. I am a noob when it comes to build my own firmware package - I actually I never tried and currently don't know how. I would like to use yours if it didn't have the cyberon dialer. Maybe in the future you could have 2 versions one with the dialer and one without?
Thanks for listening and keep up the good work!

Honestly, this is the only thing holding me back... I like M$ Voice Command.

Also why there is an advice to use SSPL? Why not to use Hard SPL?

Primary reason: not licensed with the DoPod base. You have to buy M$ VC software to use it. Including it in a ROM whose base didn't originally contain it would therefore be piracy. Also, the current M$ voice command needs hacks to (almost) properly work with BT headsets.
Cyberon is the licensed voice activated contact dialer & gives you full BT enabled dial functionality.

SSPL avoids the following potential issues:
no hardspl installed
Installer can't autodetect oliPro bootloader version
"I don't know how to boot to tri-color"
various other n00b issues
intent midlet manager
im not sure but when i run my intent java in this rom, i get the error message "cannot run target.img.zip" ,i installed a cab of intent java and problem was solved, but the cabe eats up around 5mb ongmy storage
great rom.
just the utilities i need.
Thank you sleuth

Don't let this hold you back Sleuth did an excellent job - install the ROM and simply add VC cab file with VC WM6 fix cab. But honestly untill M$ will fix their BT brainfart many peope actually prefer Cyberon products.

Flashed on my HTC P3350 (alias HTC LOVE)
Hi cesconoa.
Yesterday I flashed your rom on my new HTC P3350 and I must say
that you have done very good work (essential and good loking).
This is first rom I flashed (my phone arrived 3 day ago and I didn't like
wm5 on board).
However I had problem with cid unlocking, but retrying a second time it
went ok, meanwhile installing your rom was done without problems.
This evening I will install your next release (1.2). Must I have particular
attentions? Is it sufficient 1) Re-cid unlocking 2) Flashing your new release?
Yesterday I accidentally eliminated the rom's desktop link to the
CommManager (the first icon on the quick start's group) and trying to
restore the link I did't found the program in the list of avaible program.
Do you know how to do? However CommManager.exe is well located in windows path.
Using your rom I found a program to quick fix gps signal. May it be of
any use for me (P3350 doesn't has gps) having external bluetooth gps?
..I had never seen before this program.
Very good your idea of eliminate many programs and useless files that
peoples may install later in storage card (if they need). I suggest you
to substitute also the calculator and the timer.. and remove also other
useless programs (for which the web is rich of good alternatives).
Thanks you for your release, and if you need some help improving
your very good rom, I will be nice to support you with my experience

@cesconoa: when I try to download your 1.2 upgrade from the link that you have posted, I obtain only a 221 kb .nbh file; please, could you give me another mirror? Thank you.
Problem downloading Rom v.1.2
Hi cesconoa.
I am having problem downloading your rom (from http://files-upload.com/),
because every attempt to download it, end up before the 50%.
You should change server or add it also on another server.
Last but not least, before upload it, you should pack it in .zip or .rar format,
so that, if the file is incompletely downloaded (as in my case) or
partially damaged, unpacking it may help discovering the problem (thanks to
crc check done by unpacker), avoiding flashing a damaged rom.
yet many thanks

No particolar attentions, use USPL that make cid-unlock & flash directly

This is becouse there isn't a link to the program, but only a registry key, rewrite this key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher\0]
"Path"="\\Windows\\CommManager.exe"
"Type"=dword:00000001

I think using an external receiver is the same, this program download "Ephemeris", data important to align correctly satellites and receivers

You are right, but I've done this ROM thinking to my use, programs installed are very used by me...
To leave you customize the rom like you wont, I've build it using very logical criteria (folders and .rgu visible)...

Too dumb to install new user inteface on WM5 PDA ?

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
