a few issues with wm6.1

i installed the kavana 6.1, and i have to say it works great, but there are a few quirks that are making me mad and maybe some of you guys have a fix for them:
gmail imap:
i did the [email protected] (or whatever you want as your domain) trick, and then going back to chnage it back to gmail, that works. but th ename of my mailbox is gmool.com and i cannot change it at all through account settings. registry hack?
i have a t-mobile dash, so pressing and holding the J button, or using alt-J should give me an @, but it gives me the GB pound sign, the & sign gives me the @. keyboard remap? reg hack?
other than that, it works great.

You can fix the keyboard crap by going in to resco explorer, opening program files, finding et9 and changing the icons in your notepad(your j,k,l,m will be all messed up as well)... or you can over write with this file...

Take the file above and drop it in the windows directory of your phone and overwrite the old one. That will fix your characters.

My device won't let me overwrite the eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt file. I think that's because it's burned into the firmware. I kinda expected this when you guys said to overwrite the file in the \windows folder. How do I update the file to get the correct keyboard mapping?
Also, it appears the 0409 file has the correct mapping. It's the 0408 file that's wrong. I tried updating that file on the device. Of course, I had the same problem saving the updated 0408 because I couldn't write it into the firmware.

resco explorer should allow the overwrite.....

OK, I got it. Another message in this thread said to update the file in the \windows folder. I updated the file in \program files\et9 and I was fine. Thanks for the help.

[Q] Fonts in google maps and HD Tweak messed up

Hi,
using miri v17, can anyone help?

Sorry but i dont have a foolproof way of sorting this as i did it quickly the other day when i had the same issue
you may also see the error when you recieve or make a call the name and number of the caller is also messed up
It's certainly to do with the fonts installed
So i copied all of the fonts files from \windows & \windows\fonts to one dir on my pc and made sure that they were all ok.
if not then try to search for fonts on here
Then i copied them all back only this time copied all of the fonts files into \windows and \windows\fonts after a soft reset they all displayed fine
i actually got some nice fonts made by godzon i think from this site and i'm happier now with the way it looks

Problem with Titanium Panels on non-English device

hi there!
I have an Acer neoTouch with German WM 6.5 (Build 21840.5.0.60) and a lot of the custom Titanium Panels don't work.
With don't work I mean they don't show up in Titanium, although they do in CHome Editor 1.6
Some work, some don't show up on the today screen. TitaniumStarter for example shows up, Opera Panel or CPlayer don't.
Also, Titanizer doesn't work at all. It can change the left softkey, but whatever Panels I setup, Titanium will be empty afterwards.
is there anything I need to know? Maybe a problem with different paths? Can I edit something in the Registry to make them show up? maybe there are language specific paths in the registry that I haven't found yet (but then I don't know what to search for).
thanks a lot!
Bernhard

The easest way is to create a new folder \program files and in this folder copy the titanium progs from the folder \programme. Copy not move..

hm, thanks, but copying the CPlayer directory from \Program Files to \Programme, with a subsequent reset didn't do it yet...hm.
I copied \Program Files\JMLPanex\CPlayer to \Program Files\JMLPanex
and did the same for CPlayer.
both, CPlayer and JMLPanex directories are now identical in \Program Files and \Programme
reset, but still no CPlayer panel visible on titanium (only in CHome Editor)... *snieff*

Sorry, but you think wrong. You have a german rom - In this rom the titanium progs install in the folder \Programme. But in the reg or *.xml the progs search for the folder \program files. Understand ? And some of the progs have different of screen solution. I don`t know what solution your PPC have. VGA - XVGA - WVGA Think about it, and try.

yes I do understand you, and as said, I have for example the CPlayer folder in both, Programme and Program Files. I also have the JMLPanex folder in both (with identical content).
also, the registry keys look good. same goes for other plugins, except TitaniumStarter and ElecontWeather. hm.
so, I followed your advice and copied everything to both folders, but they still don't show up. no error msgs. whatsoever

Do you have install it ? I have tried the cplayer and it works on my xperia if you do all the things that in the tread from the developer wrote. You ask him also. Possible it`s a thing in panex.dat or in the reg. I don`t know. Learning by doing. Do you have all files installed in the tread. Also the resolution file ?

Are there any files with 0409 in them?

No it isn`t. I know what you mean. For German 0407. But I think he missed some progs too and don`t install it. By me - It works.

Thanks to NighPlayer32
DRMClient is MUST-HAVE!

You miss drm and releted reg key.
Also I have this problem, becouse I don't have a windows pc, so I can't use ceregedit to import the key.
If someone knows another way to import this key, let me know.

save the regkey file in unicode format, then import with total commander, thats what i did

Thanks, it works.
I set the file as unicode utf-16 and resco import the key.
However under this rom I can't get slideview working...

please help. i also have the same problem... how do i fix my slideview? i really need it because it is the default image viewer.

ICS and Fonts?

I just recently moved to ICS on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Epic 4g Touch) and I can't seem to get all fonts in all locations system/apps to change to the new font.
Up until now, I have always used rom toolbox pro to flash my fonts with my Gingerbread roms and everything has always been themed in the chosen text (all apps/menus/text on websites/text in facebook ect).. Love the patronne font. So I upgraded my phone to the Blue Kuban ICS rom built off of FF18. I downloaded romtool box pro to change my fonts like I have always done in the past. I select the font and then install. After the reboot from the fonts being updated, the system menus updated and anything that shows regular (non bold, non italic) fontsdisplays as the new patronne font.
Anything within apps that have bold or italic fonts does not appear as patronne. They appear as the regular system fonts. So i go into the font installer preferences within the rom tool box app and cloctopia.tff and roboto-Regular.tff are selected.
​I have tried to select (enable) the roboto-bold and the roboto-italic with no success. the phone will not boot after rom toolbox pro messes with those files.
I restored the default fonts. Then installed the rosemary and a few other flipfonts that are all apks that do not require a reboot/flash. Now the system font is updated (not anything with the clock widget) and italic fonts are now showing the installed apk but bold fonts still show system default font and not new themed text. This is the same case with other fonts that I have tried to install as well.
I have listed some apps below that are not consistent on displaying the themed font. Probably due to which roboto its referencing???
Patronne font from rom toolbox
System menus - patronne
RSS Demon - Feed list - system default, article list system default, article Patronne
Touchdown Exchange - Email list (read and unread emails), appointment/calendar, and contacts show default font
Facebook feed text - System default
XDA app - Forum list - system default, thread list - system default, article (user text) typed text is patronne and quoted text is system default.
APK - Flip fonts (rosemary, sony sketch ect)
System menus - does reflect new themed text
RSS Demon - Feed list - system default, article list reflects installed themed font, article displays in installed themed font
Touchdown Exchange - Email list (unread email - shows bold - shows system default and read emails show in themed font), appointment/calendar system default, and contacts show themed font
Facebook feed text - System default
XDA app - Forum list - themed, thread list - themed, article (user text) typed text is themed and quoted text is themed.
I am guessing that ICS handles things differently with fonts than GB. Is there anything that I can do to get all text displaying the themed text?? I am at a loss on what else to try in order to get all text being themed and not partially.
I was hoping that someone with more experience on fonts/themes would be able to tell me how to fix or what to change so all text appears the same.

Found a solution to the incomplete font themeing
Well after some trial and error I finally figured out what was going on with the fonts. ICS is way more picky on the font files than GB was. None of the font changing programs (romtoolbox Pro, flipfont ect) work 100% or even without at times causing boot loops. This is because the apps themselves do not update the metadata to match the font name. GB never checked the meta data or I guess didn’t care if it matched. ICS does and if it doesn’t match, you get boot loops.
The installable APKs do a better job but would still miss updating Bold and/or Italic fonts.
This is what I did to get 100% themed font without boot loops. Unfortunately it is a manual process.
*****Now for the disclaimer: You must have some technical know how in order to successfully do this. I am not responsible for any boot loops that may result in doing this. Please make sure to have a nandroid of your phone before proceeding.*******
Obviously the phone needs to be rooted to complete all of these steps.
Have your desired font in regular, bold, italic, bolditalic.
You will need a font editor. ( I used FontCreator – Free 30day trial)
The process on how to edit the classifications on whichever font editor you are using.
You need a file explorer app ( I used root explorer)
**backup of your phone (nandroid)**
So take your desired font files on your PC and rename them accordingly
Regular font ==> Roboto-regular.ttf
Bold font ==> Roboto-Bold.ttf
Italic font ==> Roboto-Italic.ttf
Bolditalic font ==> Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf
Now you will need the font editor program for the following steps.
Open each of your newly renamed files and change the classifications to represent what the actual font will be used for.
If you use FontCreator you will need to go to Format menu ==> settings menu to check the general tab for the classification there as well as metrics tab to make sure they represent bod, regular, italic ect
Once you have updated all the classifications, save them and copy them to your SD card.
Now we need to update the permissions of the files. Now you can copy the permissions exactly from the /system/fonts folder if you want. I just used rw-rw-rw for the four font files. You will need to copy the font files to the phone inorder to change the permissions. I created a folder in the /data/app folder with the name of my font “patronne” and placed the four files in there. I then changed all of the permissions on the files.
Now make sure you copy the original files listed below in the /system/fonts folder to another folder in case you want to return the font to the default font.
Roboto-regular.ttf
Roboto-Bold.ttf
Roboto-Italic.ttf
Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf
Once you have backed up the four files, now copy (make sure to enable R/W in root explorer) your new fonts into the /system/fonts folder and you will be prompted to overwrite the existing files. Press ok.
Now at this point the phone may lock up and/or you get cryptic characters on your screen since you just replaced files that may have been in use, so you need to reboot it. I just pulled the battery out and put it back in.
Then boot up your phone and should have all themed fonts that correctly display for regular,bold,italic ect.
If your phone bootloops then just restore from the Nandroid and check all the files for proper settings and try again..
Hope this helps anyone that has run ir is running into this. I just like having all my text be the same font and not 90% of it.

Thats waaay too complicated. Do you think there can be an easy way of doing this for flipfont apk's?

I am not experienced with what all the flip font apks do or how to update them to be 100% successful in converting all fonts. However in my experience I have had to take the font file out of the apk do these edits I described and then copy them over as the apks still didn't update 100% of what I seen on the phone. If you install an apk and it changes everything to your liking then your good. If it doesnt then the only way I have been successful with fonts is to do what I outlined. Its somewhat complicated but works and doesnt cause boot loops if you do it properly ... maybe someone with better understanding of how to update the apks could chime in how to go that route. I am sure there will be edits and possibly complicated per say to update them so you have an easy install.
