in order to enable SPB smart scroll on my tilt WM6 (and disable touchflo) i have been following instructions to change a few registry settings. while most are easy i cannot figure out one of the steps:
2) Change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Driver Name to "PocketPlusTouch.dll"
i dont seem to have any "driver name" under the "touch" folder...
where do i find this?
btw- looking around i did notice a "driver name" under the "KEYBD" folder but i am guessing that isnt it.
under "touch" i have (Default), "Calibration Data" and "MaxCalError".
as to the "pocketPlusTouch.dll" file itself everything is allright i have the file and understand the steps, i just need help finding the aforementioned "driver name"
thank you.
the step is taken from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=13527&page=2
Try creating a new entry inside that key (not Dword, not binary. Text chain would be, wouldn´t it?). Must look somehow like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"drivername"="pocketplus touch.dll"
(You need a registry editor. Resco is the best. But even the one included in pocket commander will do)
reg edit help
first off thanks for the speedy reply.
i understand from what you wrote that i need to create a new value in the touch folder (as oppose to a new key)?
when i try to create a new value it asks for the "type"...
i have no "text chain" in the drop down menu, only dword, reg_sz,reg_binary, and others.... what type do i put?
No english
I sometimes forget how to say smthng in English. Gezz
Create a new "String" entry, not a new key. I would like to help more, but I don´t have neither spb scroll nor a tilt
Good luck

reg_sz? reg_dword? reg_binary? reg_multi_sz? which one? there are another 10 or so.....

Hi, i want to change this setting from Start, settings, system, regional settings by a registry key/cab file.
I've noticed that it's stored into HKLM\Security\ColdInit\
Locale = countrycode (in my case 1040 dec)
But the reg key is restored after a SR, also if i reset with an app
Is there another key that influences this one?
Ps: i've also tried changing
\HKLM\System\ObjectStore\RegistryType=0
But no suxcess... is important to Localize the rom with a cab wich contains spell check, dictionary etc...
Mate I think I found what you're looking for:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"LegacyLocaleMode"=dword:1
"DefaultLCID"=dword:xxx
"SystemLCID"=dword:xxx
Replace xxx by language code. '413' is Dutch (The Netherlands) for example. For the codes see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms834426.aspx#locplatform30_codepages
Better late than never
Changing those registry values cannot switch the regional settings immediately, not like doing this through start->settings->regional settings.
Is there any way (any command, program) to activate those registry values immediately, rather than a soft-reset?
Thanks!
No, you would need a program to recall these settings.

Do you know what program or command/function can do this? Thanks!!
bump - any idea how to solve this?
need to change registry for regional settings via cab file!
i changed the values but nothing happend... not even a soft reset...
i was searching every where for a way to edit the list programs in the launcher and i finally came up with my own method,,,, may be there are easier ways but then i missed it..
using registry editor( i use resco ) edit the lines in the hklm , software, htc, htc home, launcher
there are folders from 0 to 8 open.. they are listed according to the icons on the screen.. open them and create a new string value with name "path" and
string ,the program u want to use
eg: for one mobile note i used
Name--- path
string--- \windows\onenotemobile.exe
the string value depends where you have installed the program....
You can use gs finder to copy the path and then paste it in the sting box....
Problems
i found that i was unable launch programs installed in the storage card.( may be some error that i made) , so i made them appear in the start menu and then took the link from there and pasted it in the string value box....
eg: the link for a program that i use in my clinic daily , thomson clinical drug index, i use the link, \windows\start menu\thomson.lnk
Hope all this made some sense... if some one has found some cab or easier way to do this, please post it here....
Sorry for all the confusion and the mistakes that i made ( busy to edit them )
Hi
Maybe I misunderstand your question, but If you want to edit the program list, you must only select the last icon in the second row.
Now you can delete the app of your choice. Now, when the place is empty, you can press the placeholder and select the program you want from the appearing list.
That's all.
ROFL, dude, you took developing/programming to whole new level!
i am embarrassed. sorry
I unlocked and flashed my T-Mo Dash with the new HTC WM6. I set all the regional stuff to US English, but something's not quite right with the keyboard.
The '@' symbol key creates a kind of cursivy 'L', I believe it's a British Pound symbol, but I'm not 100% sure. The '=' key creates a sort of capital C with a equal sign through the middle of it.
I use the '@' key a lot, and I can get that symbol now with the '&' key (for which there is no longer a key).
I checked currency settings, regional settings, etc -- and it all looks right, maybe I missed something -- or -- maybe I need to find a registry setting for key mapping?
Place the attached text file into your \Windows\ directory.
Thanks -- tried, but can't seem to delete or rename the original. Tried unselecting the 'read-only' status in the file properties, but it wouldn't allow it. My device is application unlocked...
Hmmm...mine is listed as et9.Excalibur.407.kmap.txt instead of et9.Excalibur.409.kmap.txt and I cannot delete or rename or copy over it either.
edit: I should note that I installed the German rom
Ok, here is how I fixed it with mine.
use regedit and go to:
HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/IME/KeyboardLayouFiles and change value 07FF to 0409 from the 0407 in there.
Conceivably you can name the map file posted above to anything and change its value in that key.
GL,
J
Glad you worked it out, but that's not what's going on with my device -- I've looked at both .txt files and the one posted by OutPhase has the correct mappings -- just can't use it (yet)...

use TotalCommander or Resco Explorer to overwrite the file during a copy/move

US English keyboard settings...
change HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang to 1033 (Dec) 0409 (Hex)
use a reg editor to move the attached file into \Windows
reboot
I've already made the CurLang change in the registry, it 'took', but no change in my keyboard mapping.
I've no idea how to 'use a reg editor to move the attached file'... I'm using the registry editor that comes with Resco File Explorer, see nothing in it for file-move operations -- something I don't ever recall as being part of any registry editor, mobile or PC-based. Thanks for trying though...

I didn't say use the Registry editor to move it. Use the normal Resco Explorer to move it. It'll ask to overwrite the existing file.
Thanks, it worked. Not sure why, but I could copy/move and overwrite it with Resco Explorer, but not rename/delete it. It's all working now, thanks!!!

No, you didn't -- Johnny Lavah said it (as was quoted in my reply). What you said worked -- thanks again.

another solution
There was already an "eT9.Excalibur.0409.text" in windows that was in the UK English version of the keyboard. I renamed the attached US version as below and put that in the windows directory. Then I mapped the registry to it.
I like Outphase's solution better -- no registry edit required, once he explained to just copy the file over it's all good now. Thanks though.

keyboard layout files
Hi all
My device is french, but I'd like to use the German keyboard layout.
I can change the contact search keyboard layout but not the layout that's active when writing messages.
As I understand from the above thread, I need the german layout file, eT9.Excalibur.0407.kmap.txt. Can anyone provide me with that one? I don't see a single reference to it.
Any other hints?
Thank you, Michael
anyone know how to setup the # butting to changes your profile to vibrate and visversa? (worked on the t-mobile wm6 rom)
I miss that one too -- it's actually a part of all TMobile WM ROMs -- kinda handy, would be great to have that back!

Thank you. I tried outphase's solution and it works perfectly. Didn't have to edit the registry at all.

Yeah there must be a registry setting some where that enables it. it's not t-mobile dash phone's only. I got a s621 (Rogers) and it worked with all the t-moble ROMs. hopefully somone will figure it out.
where is the \windows dir and how can i go there?
Hi there!
I'm a beginner cooker and need some help with few things that I can't solve with myself
My ROM is based on WM6.5 build 61222 in Ervius Kitchen 8.0
1. Copying the files in File Explorer doesn't work... First I tap on specific file, then I select "copy", then I want to specific the path in the top left corner, f.g. from IS to maim memory and then it crashes...I don't know what to do
2. Opera9.exe and AlbumSearcher.exe are active all the time in Processes list in dotTask Manager. I have to kill them but after SR they appear again. Isn't it something wrong?
3. After every SR calendar and contacts are poping up... how can I solve it?
4. I want to set the softkeys (I'm not using Manila or Titanium) so I made registry key, but I don't know what is the .exe name for contacts? For sure it's not poutlook.exe because it gives no reaction. So what .exe should I put into the registry file?
Thanks in advice!
REGARDS!
1: use Total Commander
2: there's a registry entry you need to add for opera to exit on closing; google for this one
3: check your init/and-or startup
4: it's actually a link in rai; poutlook -contacts
adwinp thanks for answering, but...
1. Total Commander is an alternative program but I want to fix the problem with builded-in File Explorer. I want my ROM to be free of bugs as much as it's possible.
2. It's not problem with closeing because opera9.exe is there at the beginning, after every SR even if I didn't run it.
3. Don't understand
4.So what am I suppose to add in this registry value?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="poutlook -contacts"
Is it correct?
hi chiefs,
i have 3 questions:
is it possible to deactive the touch calibration on the first start after flashing?
is it possible to edit the rom date in the "info" under the setting option?
how can i edit the date witch was displayed on the first start?
sorry for my bad english
To deactivate the calibration requires deactivating a package called Welcome Center which includes setting the time-zone, and the time and date.
skipping calibration is very simple... search under SYS folder the link (remember just the link!) "welcome" & remove it
then add whatever you want these couple of reg entries:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="488,502 791,181 795,825 183,827 180,178 "
"MaxCalError"=dword:00000008
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Welcome]
"Disable"=dword:FFFFFFFF
this will auto-setup the calibration phase even if the screen will appear mis-aligned on next reboot it will be OK
for the other questions is possible for sure... but I never modded them

is there any kitchen which is better than ervius?
not really... they use the same concepts/apps to extract/assemble various things
it depends just by your tastes...
