ALT button doesn't work on keyboard! - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I'm at work right now and didn't realize my alt button didnt work on my keyboard. I guess its from flashing WM 6.5 Europe ROM yesterday because it was fine from the stock ROM.
Is their a fix for this because I need this alt button to work.

the mapping is different on the tmo tp2, just like the kaiser they will make a CAB to fix this problem.
their is already an ongoing thread about this, small fix should come soon.

European model does not have Alt key.
See here and see if it works for you.

Seems to be common problem, when flashing 6.5
since only branded phones seem to have an Alt key.
I am sure someone will come up with a fix.
​

my CTRL now serves as my ALT but i would like that to be fixed, i get confused
i have tmo us tp2
fusion power rom

The registry setting which was changed in the Raphael to fix this problem is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"CWSLayout"="1"
Try it on your machine. You will have to add CWSLayout=1 then reset your device.
If this doesn't work try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546358 where there are similar problems

Questions after upgrading to WM6 - Help...

Ok, I have upgraded my Hermes to WM6 using the ROM on the wiki site.
I have installed all my apps and everything was looking great. I then noticed the Extended ROM and half a dozen cab files. So I have installed all of these as assumed they were some sort of patches.
I carried on installing my apps but now after a reboot the SIM PIN Lock entry screen looks a really basic (non 3d) button version and the keypad that should be shown when pressing the green call button isn't displayed I just get a white screen.
I have installed the following apps:-
eWallet 5
Tomtom 6
PocketBreeze 5.2
Phone Alarm + VistaMedia skin
Any ideas on what has happened?
Do I need to re-flash my phone?
Help..
Thanks

Which version have you upgraded to?? If it is v0.20.x (thats 0.20.0 or 0.20.1) this is a known issue, seriously recommend reading the thread concerned with the ROM you are flashing before going ahead (the link for the thread is in the table aswell).

Yes it was the Vanilla version. I have done the wrong one?

The best thing to do is to is to perform a 'Hard Reset' which will reset your device back to the same point as when the rom was flashed, so you will need to reinstall everything. Suggest you install the same things again but dont install the skin....this might be incompatible with WM6 (since nearly all skins are designed for use in WM5).
BTW, i would take some time to read through the wiki and familiarise yourself with the various reset types and other literature on ROM upgrades, the knowledge in these pages will hold you in good stead for the future sir

Just one other question. Should I have ran all the CAB's from the Extended ROM?

Not really....the best thing you can do is to leave the ext_rom alone and just manually configure your MMS and WAP settings by hand. The ext_rom (again) contains cab installers that are designed for WM5.....while most should work in WM6 there are some that dont. ext_rom is something i havent used for ages in XDA-Live (v0.1 and now 0.2) and I dont miss it.
Just install the apps you were running (phonealarm and others). The ext_rom doesnt do much except run carrier based stuff (like themes and automatic settings).

After reading several threads in this forum I have seen that people are running this WM6 ROM in other versions of the Excalibur other than the T-Mobile Dash. Is that safe for me then to run it in the UK on a T-Mobile MDA Mail? I'm buying a new phone today and I will probably get that one.
Somebody know how to remove T-Mobile logos?
I tried to delete from \Windows\, it's tell me can't delete from ROM.
Does anyone know where can I get the WM 6 user manual?
thanks

Cant delete them, but you overwrite them. I just replaced the tmo with cingular branding. You can make blank files also if you want no branding.
I've seem to have lost the JOGGER aside from volume control... Anyway to get it back or where to make the adjustments/activations?

Hermes Touchflo: anybody willing to give a proper roundup?

Hi,
i was reading through the posts in this forum and over at 4winmobile.com regarding the porting of Touchflo and all the apps unique to Wizard.
What I still don't get is this:
Is there a "working" CAB already out now? So that I would just need to install that CAB to have Touchflo?
If there is, which would be the best ROM to go with it.
Are there any complete Roms, that have Touchflo already enabled?
How stable is the whole thing anyway?
Maybe somebody who is really into this can give us all an update/ walkthrough on this topic, since information on it is widely scattered over several posts at the moment.
Thanks for your efforts,
trial
roundup... touchFLO is currently only buttonFLO on the hermes.
and at SchapsROM it is only Buttonflo with Blackscreen...
so, there is no proper ROM avaible, that has at least touchButton installed by default?
What about the other questions I asked?
anybody?
thx

"ButtonFLO" is known to work well with blackmajik and most latest roms.

There is no need to install a cab to assign the button. Just set any button to run the app.

Yes, there is some rom flying around. black majik + "ButtonFLO" but you have to assign the button. The steps to make it function are in there. Just follow.

TouchFLO was not meant/made for hermes but for HTC Touch therefore it doesnt run perfectly but some people at 4winmobile.com are still working on making it better.

There's a Black Majik ROM that was re-cooked with the added files in Windows over at 4winmobile. I think Slueth? cooked it but not 100% sure. I'm actually using it right now, but I didn't add the ButtonFlo CAB cause the first time I used it, it worked for a little, but as you add apps it acts weird, so, I'm using just the ROM and it's absolutely awesome! Super stable, etc!
guys, thanks for all your replies!
will continue my search with your infos now, and add to this post, as i have more info myself.

Also when i use the gprs buton on the left side a strange page comes and somewhere stands, that there is no fix..or something? Whats a fix?

1. find it here,there is some text and a pic
2.settings>today>themes
3.you have to find tom tom installation (cab or exe)...i think there is a file in the wiki(slick my signature) because when you flashed the rom,all that was included in the original one was replaced or deleted
install it and it'll work
also,now that you have to download it anyway, i'd suggest you trying iGO6 iGO8,it's great and much smarter and less annoying than tomtom

Missing important file..
There was a .cab file posted by meschel in his original post which enabled 'messege sent' notification when sending a txt.
The rom's have not got this feature as standard and need this .cab file to fix it.
Its looking really hard to find as people only have the roms and not the extra .cab file he posted too..
Anyone have it?

Can someone port Rhodium volume control as a cab?

Hello I have alot of programs installed on my device and therefore the Blackstone volume control has become buggy. I was hoping someone can upload a cab for the rhodium volume control. I'm sure they made some changes that are different from the blackstone, and I have confidence that this will work.
try this
try this and see does it work .. haven't tested on y X1 since i am using the blackstone one ...

Topaz doesn't work even after resigning with SDK certs.
Rhodium works.
BlackStone works.

Hmmm...I think that's why the Rhodium Cab doesn't work...I only use SDKcerts for wvga fix, and I don't have wvga fix on my phone.
Edit: Nope, that doesn't work either...
i uploaded from blackstone - identical to topaz and rhodium

It's not identical, if it was identical then Rhodium and Topaz should install exactly the same way BlackStone installs on my phone.
