SGH-i780 keyboard fix - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have the problem that I can't press two buttons on my phone at the same time. While playing games this can be really annoying, because when I play for example Super Mario, I cant run and jump, while running.
In another forum somebody had the idea to change the keyboard driver with the one from the BlackJack II as I has the same keyboard. Could this work? and if yes could somebody load up the driver and maybe tell us how to install it on i780?
Edit: I have WM 6.0, maybe the problem could be solved with another rom. If it works on your i-780 please tell me what rom you have.

I have the same problem and looking for a solution.

the lack of some directional key .. is also limiting the games that this baby can play

here's the solution : http://neato4u.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/games-emulator-on-samsung-i780/

Cool! Will test that when I load up the back up I have of wm 6.1

It doesn't work on the Epix .

wrong post sorry...

[Common Problem] Slow performance when using stylus or touch screen

I noticed that whenever you touch the screen, the device slows down BIG TIME. I mean if you try to use a CPU utilization app, it will show you that whenver you touch the screen, CPU utilization immediately jumps to 41-45%! And if you try, there is no way that you can actually play touchscreen games like Skyforce or KRally because of this problem.
I just want to know, is this problem ROM specific? for WM6? WM5? or is it really just a flaw in the device? I searched and found out here that the Trinity also suffers from this. I used to have a Himalaya and a Universal, and this was never a problem.
Is there a known solution for this?
I hope nobody will mention overclocking as a solution. Cause even overclocked, it is still slow.
HTC Advantage X7500 with 624Mhz CPU is suffering same problem.

Looks like it's an HTC problem, and don't hesitate to write to HTC support for complaining
cheers
I guess nobody really cares about this issue and nobody tried to fix it. Not even HTC.. oh well.. I guess Hermes devices are just not bound for stylus intensive type games.
same thing..

Dude, avoid speaking in tagalog.
I'm using WM6 TNT 2.0 Pro.. I also tried Schaps' ROMs, but it's a little slow for my taste. But regardless of the ROM, it still suffers from this issue. Also tried the ATI fix, no effect. It's either a bad hardware or driver design/fault.. and sadly, nobody could fix it.
I think Ill bring this topic back to life...anyone found a solution?
I've noticed this a lot in games like skyforce. Makes the game a lot easier though Hope someone comes up with a fix.
want just to bring this back to life again
as I know this haven't been fixed yet
Would be really cool if somebody has a solution
Other phones have this problem got fixed so why not ours too?

Yeah! really appreciate if someone already figured out the reason behind this..
I can't even play skyforce on my Hermes which I enjoy playing on my O2 XDA II mini.
I have the same problem, i try to remove "HTC Home", from Today Menu.
Now its work fine.
I hope that is the solution
I have TyTn II with WM 6.1
well you must know that We have a strong arm processor... samsung... very powerfull at 400mhz nice but the god dam ati accelerator makes the issue!
even tho in newer builds in 6.5.1... we are experiencing new issue touch response at repeatedly tapping...
So i think is a mix betwen Processor acelerator and the OS... If you are in winmo6.5.1 and you dislike that delay at tapping this key allows you to tap more fast not so fast as first 6.5 but good enogh to continue with the sip typing... the games are... games... Skyforce in a Universal with almost 600mhz has the same delay... in 6.1 and 6.5 so... in games the procesor is important but the stability and the PAGEPOOL is the meaning of our troubles. i have cook with 4 PP and the new IE cant works fine but skyfire works good... MSFT develops his PP at 15mb!!!!! to test the speed on IE... just to reinforce my point of view...
the reg to fix the delay at touch response ( alil fix )...

Well, with a raw CPU power test (using 7zip's built-in test) it comes as good as XScale at the same clock frequency so it seems it's really powerful.
Thank's for the response.
I try to find your key, but there isn't. I use PHM Registry Editor, i use also "Find", but nothing.
Thank you
(excuse me for the english.... i'am italian)
My stupid minutes yesterday... i tho we have Intel StrongARM Xscale....
Yeah here the principal word that you may read... are, newer versions of wm6.5.1

WM6.1: Any tweak for a German keyboard remap?

Hi'all !
I'm quite interested in the WM6.1 Rom, but I own a German TMo MDA Mail with a German keyboard layout...I wouldn't mind using the English ROM, just wanna know how to tweak it to the German layout...any idea?
Cheers,
vivid
Nobody? if its just sth in the registry, would somebody mind explaining it to me^^
WM6.1 running on german XDA cosmo
Hey,
I've got a german XDA cosmo (= Excalibur), running with the Kavana 080408 WM6.1-ROM.
I am using eT9 (link as found in Kavanas thread: http://movie.99msn.net/kavana/eT9 Full.cab) with the attached keyboard layout (copy to Program Files/eT9).
It's working fine. The only problem, is that the zero key doesn't work in numeric mode. But you can switch to alphabetical mode and type the zero there. I'm also not able to type a TAB, but who needs ;-) Probably it's not hard to fix, the kmap-file structure is very simple.
Good luck ..
... and to minimize the cultural shock you can set your locale to german in "settings" -> "regional settings". This affects time / number -format and currency. Feels a lot more like at home afterwards ;-)
The automatic "Connections Setup" in "Start Menu" -> "Accesoires" does also know the german operators. It has set up cellular data connections for me (works fine), but I haven't tested the MMS setup yet.
Cheers mate! So I just copy the eT9-cab with the kmap into the directory u have given there?
You install the cab, like you do with any other program (copy to the phone, and start it through the phone's file manager).
It installs to the directory I mentioned (the installer creates it). Afterwards you can copy the kmap-file there (overwrite the old). I'm quite sure it just worked afterwards, since I can't remember modifying the registry But you will probably need to reset the Telefon
I've got the keymapping from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2121806&highlight=german+kmap#post2121806
You can also do a search for "german" and "kmap" or "eT9" and "kmap "in the kavana thread.
Maybe you'll have to activate eT9 through Fn + Space in a text field.
Thx Probably was juz too lazy to scan 1700 posts in that thread... But thanks anyways! Another question concerning the 6.1 ROM: I wanted to update to rickywatt's edited ROM, but seem to get an error 270 anytime i try...any idea?
You're too lazy again .. the "search this thread" button does magic
Seems, that others had the problem, too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2154892&postcount=181
So you should make sure to have unlocked first .. (if so, I have no idea)
Haven't tried Ricky's ROM yet, maybe when the wheather gets worse
I'm afraid the ROM is full of blingbling, but slow as hell with little space .. Ricky's feature list scared me so maybe you could report, how you like it to clear my doubts
Well yea it is completely unlocked I am afraid...thats what i saw before already...
I actually dun have time in the moment myself, lots of exams going on but I always take myself time for my lil' excalibur
Does CAP key works with your kmap?
Well no..^^ it did for Kavana's ROM; but somehow for ricky's it doesnt. Quite odd actually.
Oh, and @fruchti, i got rick's OS working...if u overclock the OMAP you gonna be fine. Just disable all the panels u dun need: for me that was myfaves, internet etc...

I was able to solve this issue for Ricky's build. I installed eT9Full.cab, restarted the device and selected German using Fn+Space.
Now it finds "für" "über" and so on. CAP works, too.
Please keep in mind that you have to reboot the device after installing cab. Without rebooting - german settings will not work.
Hope this solve your issue, too.
Really? Thats odd...i installed the et9full also...and the overwrote the old kmap with the edited one...i have the right keymap but CAP still does not work and he only finds "fur" and "uber" as an example, although the xT9 German is activated...
Maybe i should just re-install that completely...mh...
EDIT: Did u insert the new kmap as well?
Ohhh alright, no need for the kmap..thats the thing that seems to cause all the interferences But nice that it works now
After I restart my phone, the CAP error is on again and I have no idea why...the keyboard works apart from the bespoken CAP issue...it also doesnt find "uber" and so on anymore...that really sucks...
German T9 not integrated in Ricky's WM61 build

I confirm. Trouble comes back after rebooting the device. It's some kind of funny that german T9 is not inside this rom. Maybe the german guys don't cried loud enough in the past ;-).
Please link this to Ricky's ROM thread. Ricky is a freak and will be able to fix this with V2x. I'm sure.

Yea well that should be cuz the ROM by Kavana isnt actually a WWE yet, and probably only a leaked one from somewhere So either we just wait and see till the official WM6.1 WWE comes out, or Ricky finds a fix for us...so far, we have 3 guys with the problem : RICKY PLEASE HELP US
Me too. The CAP key isn't working so I have to write only with small letters...
Wish a solution for this problem will be available soon. Writing a message without caps are classified as "unfriendly" for a lot of people in Germany.
i'm too
need it for some passwords and business mails
PLEASE fix it

Htc touch hd keyboard problems

Hy,
I havent found simmilar problems to mine on any past thread, so I opened this one. If a thread with simmilar problem does exist, I apologize in advance.
My problem:
I downloaded and instaled new keyboard on my touch hd , called "touch input" which is originaly instaled in touch diamond 2 and touch pro 2.
I've seen a video on pocketnow.com, that it is compatibile also for HD, link: http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6918
, so I downloaded it from here:
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=6918
When i instaled it, it totaly messed up my previous original keyboard, so i've uninstaled it, and with that action I lost also the original touch HD keyboard (compact qwerty, phone pad, ful qwerty). Whenever I try to run one of those keyboards, phone just freezes (does not open it).
I use third party keyboard (SPB) that still works. But I would like my original (touch hd) keyboard back, without HARD RESETing the phone if its posssible. is there a file that makes this possible?
Did I screwed other programs on my phone also with my action or can it influenced the device's performance generaly?
For you answers and help I thank you all in advance...
no one to help?!
The keyboard that screwed my original one, was downloaded from here actualy:
http://www.4shared.com/file/88843093/f25db617/BJK_HTC_EzInput2_WVGA_NoKbd_0409-B1_2.html
i tried **** loads of application in my htc touch hd and keyboards aswell even finger keyboard showed some problem but spb stuff are cool spb keyboard is best i feel..
I used my touch hd during the day and downloaded few apps on it such as change screen 2.7, core player 1.3.2, RaphHighResPanorama and Tesalat Metal V2 Theme. They all worked fine for hours until few minutes ago when I was about to send an SMS. I had lost my keyboard except numpad with letter p and w on it. What's going on? Tried soft reset without any changes. I'm running HSPL 1.56.OliNex + Miri's WM 6.5.
Edit: Dunno what went wrong, but got it sorted out by reflashing rom.
i got the same problem and didnt find a solution. Could any rom-rooker upload the cab for the htc keyboard 2.0, so we can overwrite the existent files, to fix the failure.
thx for help
Hard reset will do the work
Valti, this tipp isnt verry usefull, because i want to have my actual rom, with all my settings and appz AND a full functional keyboard.
That a hardreset solves the problem is logic.
Hmmmpf ...
dajhoony, after HR you will have the same ROM, which is installed now.
then you will have to install again additional apps and progs.
i know that. and i know, that it is much, much work to reinstall all my aooz, including all my registry optimization, my skins, my symbols, my ... my ... my ...
So, thanx again for this great answer, that a HARD RESET repairs the problem.
But i am looking for a solution, to reinstall the HTC Keyboard 2.0,m because Dutty knows allready the problem with the HTC Keyboard v2.1.
So, if i would do a hard reset, the failure comes again and i DONT WANT THAT.
So, plz .. only posts with help to install HTC Keyboard v2.0.
Thx for all followers.

As an interim solution I would suggest you (if on your keyboard you use English only!) - install FingerKeyboard 2.1, in checkboxes tik "En" (as an options can check "suggest names for SMS) and then install this CAB attached in the next post.
You will have a beautiful YOTA keyboard with arrows
Here is the CAB:
i will try. verry nice idea. thanx for help!!!!!!!

which custom ROMs have Transcriber/letter recognizer inputs?

I just flashed my first custom rom (energy photon) and noticed that the transcriber and letter recognizer inputs are not available in the sip menu. Apparently I'm one of the weird ones and use these as my primary input methods (I love handwriting recognition!). In which case, does anyone know of or use a custom rom that offer these input methods? I've tried searching but its not exactly common for the chefs to say they have transcriber or letter recognizer offered in their roms. Anyone have any suggestion or perhaps cabs to install?
thank you very much
Is this too newbie of a question? Should I just search more?
I am in the same boat. Just upgrade to NRG's Photon 10/28 and not seeing Block/Handwriting input, just the different keyboards. Anyone have info on this?
same here ... hoping for a resolution soon to an otherwise great ROM experience
Ok .. I am a dumbass ... I Finally figured it out ..
I installed Transcriber ..
click-> http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...c3-2eee-41e3-9339-f7b303f4b386&displaylang=en
And true 6.5 roms do not give you the option of choosing transcriber from the optons menu ..
However if you find transcriber.exe in the windows dir .. you can run it and it does work !
So I made a link and added it to the startup dir in windows and it works just fine now
Just a warning .. if you change to the full or compact qwerty it closes transcriber and you will have to restart it to make it work again :/
However if you open the keyboard it will switch to the keyboard layout
and back to transcriber .. without restarting transcriber
Give it try .. Worked For me !

I guess i should thank you for being a "dumbass" for ALL of us other "dummies" who were relying on you or someone else to pose a resolution. I'll be giving this a shot today! Thanx!
Transcriber/Block recognition Gone
HTC Tilt 2 ATT Window Mobile 6.5 Pro
OS Version 5.2.21887
ROM Version 2.10.502.4
I used to have a 8525 I kept it for years and got it repaired multiple times for one reason...it had inherent handwriting recognition. When it finally died, I replaced it with the above HTC Tilt 2 specifically because it also had handwriting recognition.
Yesterday, I upgraded the ROM to the version listed above. I read through the upgrade info, didn't mention it was going to take away the one feature I loved, but it did.
I tried to install transcriber as mentioned but cannot find the .exe file discussed to make the shortcut. The new rom apparently does away with file explorer.
At this point, I feel like unhooking everything and going up into the mountains where the most technological thing I have is the axe I chop wood with.
There are a million phones out there...why can't they leave one that old farts like me can use?
Sorry for the venting...I called HTC and they said 1) can't downgrade ROM 2) Search the internet for something that let's you transcribe.
Any help would be appreciated.
"ScottSNX", modified the original HTC Transcriber for WinMo 6.5. But, word complete is still missing & not much available for free. His post is #28 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=605586&page=3. CalliGrapher ( http://www.phatware.com/index.php?q=product/details/calligrapher ) is an app you can buy & it has word complete.
Thx,
Brian
Thanks! I have downloaded the cab and will let you know!

Problems with Thinkfree mobile and Gangstar

Hey guys. First of all a huge thanks to all of you guys. This forum helped me a whole lot over the last few weeks
so first of all: I work as a professional translator and therefor am looking for a suitable app to properly edit my microsoft Word documents. What i would need is some app which has a dictionary implemented (as add-on maybe) and things like word count, redo, undo, autocorrect...
Anyway i didnt find anything which suited my needs (also tried documents to go full version) but from all the apps ive tried Thinkfree write still seems the most comfortable. My problem now is: Sometimes when i want to edit a document and open the keyboard (i work with swype) I can swype over the keyboard as usual, but instead of putting the word into the document, the keyboard just closes down and doesnt let me open it up anymore. I have to play around a little bit and try different parts of the doc until the keyboard finally works again. Then it seems to work for a few secs and afterwards it shuts down again... Its really rather annoying. I tried a factory reset and a few reboots, but the problem persists.
Does anyone have similar problems? And do you guys maybe know some other very good Microsoft word editing program?
Ok now to my problem with gangstar. Ive tried installing it and everything works fine. Once i actually enter the game the textures arent displayed correctly. I can play and all but i dont quite see where im going and what im doing.
Im a pretty big GTA fan so id really like to try this game^^
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance. You guys rock =D
Swype and ThinkFree
I too have the same problem on my Samsung Vibrant with Swype working intermitantly and closing down in edit mode in thinkfree. Anyone come up with a solution yet?
