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 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.

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?
How in heck do you import reg keys?
I thought, just transport them over and execute them.
I keep getting an error. "The specified file is not a Registry script"
And i somewhat did a search....brought up to many threads, none with a specific title as this issue.
Is there a reg hack to enable reg importing??

You just copy and execute them.
Incase they are not working, before you copy to your phone - right clik reg key and click edit type this in the first line of the registry key (in other words, it should be the first line):
REGEDIT4
save it, copy it to your phone and execute them. See if that works.
If it still does not work, open Resco Explorer and execute the file and hopefully that should work.
Good Luck !
All the above has been tried.

Wierd.
What are you trying to do? Can you ellaborate, please?
I've never had a problem in importing registry keys.
It depends on the format of the registry key. You can't use normal Windows desktop format if I recall. The file must have a .reg extension (sure you checked that). Can you post a snippet of what your key format looks like?
The key must look something like this (exported from Reg Editor):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu]
"Order"=hex(7):41,00,63,00,63,00,65,00,73,00,73,00,6F,00,72,00,69,00,65,00,73,00,00,\

Import my old reg keys for links.
I used the CHome config to reorder the pages and fuked them up.
i updated the program today, so i am trying to import the keys back.
Instead of doing all those changes manually

lol, i just recently got finished messing with my reg files because they weren't importing correctly. from what i can see from your registry snippet, and what fixed it for me was that i used mobileregistryeditor to export my keys, and it didn't add double \\, so it would import WindowsExplorer.exe instead of windows\explorer.exe. It was only once i exported with resco and compared the two that i noticed the missing extra \ in the exported files.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\ CAppointments]
"ICONPATHS"="\windows\cal_s.png;\windows\cal_s.png "
"LocName"="Appointments"
vs.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\ CAppointments]
"ICONPATHS"="\\windows\\cal_s.png;\\windows\\cal_s.png "
"LocName"="Appointments"
I used the same program.
I think i will be using resco to export them from now on.
Thanks, had the same problem, this works well
Solved my problem, thanks to both of you.

Try to put this string in the first line instead of REGEDIT 4
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
All my .reg files have this and I have no problem importing
Hope it was helpful
Cheers

this was the same thing i was going to suggest. I was having the same issues as mikey and when i changed from REGEDIT4 to Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 the keys i was trying to import worked!
thats really weird
Hi!
As I understand, CustomPFD only lets us see some Registry Keys.
In fact, for example, the tutorial for the full FS access needs us to modify some keys that are not visible in CustomPFD, so we have to use vcFan's registry editor.
In that application you can only write a path and read/write the values of that path. So my question is: Is there any way to read all the registry tree of the SubKeys? How do you discover these hidden Keys?
Thank you!

Hi .
you can see some more keys using Web Server registry access developed by GoodDayToDie .
It shows more keys than CustomPFD in my compares .
Thank you very much for your help!
