which custom ROMs have Transcriber/letter recognizer inputs? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

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 !

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!

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

Hermes Keyboard Map

I flashed to the htc release wm 6.1 but accidentally did a foreign version. I flashed it again with the US release and it works fine except the symbols E, D, X, W, S, Z, Q, and A are not working correctly. They input a different symbol.
I went to do the keyboard fix...
"Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The default value of English ROM is 20409, and Chinese ROM is 20404 (both are in hexadecimal)."
...and the value was already 132105 (20409 in decimal)
I went ahead and changed it to 132104 and then back to 132105 but it is still not working.
Is there such a program that would allow me to easily re-map the keyboard?
Any help is appreciated!
schaps advanced config 2
Thanks!
I ended up just finding this fix a little further down the page...
"Issue: When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.
The Fix:

Is this an unrelated problem?

Apologies for jumping onto this thread, seems the best place really.
I've just bought a HTC Hermes, and it has WM 6.1 installed, using it on the Orange UK network.
My only problem is, when pressing ! I get @, and when pressing Y i get Z.
I've ensured all language and keyboard options are set to UK, however I just don't seem to be able to change the keyboard map to full UK, although physically the keyboard is correct, just not the SW side of things.
I was just wondering if someone could help me, if you let me know where I need to look, i'll be able to help you, just not used anything MS based for the past 4 years, so its a bit of a foreign object now.
Thank you,

Hi there,
I'm actually new to Smartphones, and the Tytn / Hermes was going cheaply online (ebay unfortunately), but the phone itself is excellent and is easy to use from back in my windows days.
Most is familiar, but seeing how far Windows can go before I want to switch to Linux.
Where would I get the ACT? Is it downloadable from here as a development tool, or is it online needing payments etc?
Thank you,
greee, u can get it at schaps website here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070&highlight=advanced
galaxys,
I've downloaded the ACT, along with a pocket msn, and neither will install.
Do i need to put them somewhere for it to install correctly? Just i'm only getting access to my memory card.

Both should install on main memory.
Are you getting an error when the don't install?
So far kareem, i'm getting an XML output for the ACT, and for Pocket MSN it reports:
Setup Is Not a valid Pocket PC application.
With the ACT, i've no option to install, although the setup file I have was meant to be a cab file.
Thank you,
Scratch all that, got both PocketMSN and ACT installed today! For some reason the keyboard was in German, so switched that back!
Thanks guys!

TouchFLO or M2D on the LG INCITE!!!

I've been playing around with the Incite a good bit and discovered that M3D works a lot better on it than it did on the Tilt, but there is no WQVGA version of it, so that led me to search around a bit. After a bit of searching, I discovered that there is a version of M2D for the Omnia, and guess what! It works on the Incite too! And this is how to do it.
1. Install the M2D all in one cab file. (make sure you have 20mb in the phone storage and install directly to the phone, NOT the storage card or it will not work)
2. Install the Opera browser cab for the internet tab (works from the storage card)
3. Install the SECcontact cab (this is to view contacts in the contact list)
The only tab that doesn't work is the comm tab. Other than that, the Incite renders the program flawlessly. (no probs with standby, powering off, etc.) Enjoy!
Thanks to:
SztupY for Manila
NFSFAN for Opera
And black-DraGon for SECcontact

Here is a fix for the Comm tab.You will also need the Comm Manager if you don't already have it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430468
Thank you very much, well, now we have a fully functional M2D! Another thing is that if you want to use one of the comm managers from that thread, it works just as well.
hi guys, i also have M2D on my incite and works fairly well. im also using the omnia m2d cab. i tried M3D for tilt but didnt work well.
Thats because the the M3D cab is QVGA, the Incite is WQVGA. If someone could port M3D to WQVGA our devices would run it better than the tilt, and not have the same issues.
So now I'm gonna work on some themes for M2D, will be posted them soon!

So that you're not doing unnecessary, modaco.com has a thread with lots of themes modified for the Omnia. Now get back to work on the ROM's!!

It looks like it tries to load whatever tab my finger is over while scrolling ... and it slows down the phone considerably.
Help Please
I have installed the manila 2D and now I am not able to find the FM radio application. I listen to the radio a lot. can some one help me where i can find the FM radio applicaiton.
Thanks in advance.
I'm a noob at this whole thing. Can someone point me in to a step by step tutorial for installing this? (I'm sure i can figure it out if thier isn't one)
And once installed can you switch back to the original UI , and if so, how?
Thanks!
Just read the first post, and install in that order. To disable: start/settings/today/items and uncheck TouchFLO
ok, i have everything working. Thanks!
I have another question though. I installed M2DC in order to install some skins for M2D. The only ones i could find were Omnia skins. When i install them the scroll bar (the one with home, people, ect.) is not at the bottom resulting in about 3/8" of unused screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Those skins are WVGA and your phone is WQVGA, which is why it doesn't display properly. In order to fix it, open M2C and restore original layout and it should 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.

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:

for gods sake, why no one is helping me-how can I tweak the GPS-please someone help

Hey Guys
I am using the following
Radio: 4.49
Rom: WWE 6.5
Operator: T Mobile
I have advanced config, and I saw a thread about tweaking the gps, please can someone explain to me in detail how to do that. Under GPS in advanced config it was mentioned to set log file to No logging , but everytime i chose no logging when i restart the device it goes back to \windows\GPSlogFile.txt
it was also mentioned to delete the old and current log file how can I do that.
Are those tweaks applicable to win mobile 6.5
Look for the Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc thread stickied at the top of this section
I really feel annoyed by when people tell me look at this or that thread when from my post you can tell that I already did that. I tried to follow the instruction on the tweaks, cabs thread, but got stuck, so please why in this forum specifically every time I ask a question I get these insulting replies.
I think I will abandon my dam HTC TOUCH pro2 and go back to HTC TOUCH HD forum since at least there I get answers. I am really pissed now.
For gods sake respect that we are at least trying to learn, and stop being rude to us, by showing us that we are stupid
I don't know what to tell you. When i got it it took a lot to get a lock so i updated the radio from the official site, installed SeaSGEE (do a search), downloaded the content, used the gps registry tweak ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/GPS Tweaks ) and the lock is under 2 minutes (although i believe the lock time is horrible compared with the samsung omnia which was 15 seconds).
Hope it helps.

As far as I can tell .. transcriber and letter recognizer do not come with 6.5 anymore they took it out I Loved it .. but I guess noone used it. )
I have tried installing it .. on 6.5 with NO LUCK ;( If you find a way message me too !
Just found this : http://pocketnow.com/thought/goodbye-transcriber
Handwriting recognition has always been a feature of Windows Mobile that went unrivaled by most other smartphone operating systems. Admittedly, most people either didn't use the feature or didn't know that it existed. About a year ago, we did a tutorial on how to use the features of Transcriber to get fantastic handwriting recognition.
The upcoming HTC HD2 has a capacitive screen, meaning that traditional styli cannot be used with the device. Because of this, HTC has stripped out the Transcriber option, as seen below from the HD2 ROM. Also of note is that there is now only one keyboard option, which is HTC's Touch keyboard. Gone is the small stylus keyboard that we've come to know for many generations of Windows Mobile.
With Transcriber gone, will you miss it?
You don't need to take it personal and get upset.
You should at least consider that the issues you're asking about are not common....so the number of people who know or care about the answer is small. If they were common issues then you'd find many other posts stating the same problem. Do you?
If you've followed the suggestions and the suggestions don't work for you, then what more can anyone say? How much time are people supposed to devote to troubleshooting a problem that only you have?
If you scan down the list of threads, those threads that have 0 responses are either questions that are odd/unique/unknown or have been answered so often that there's a sticky with the answer at the top of the forum...which indicates that the poster isn't even trying to help themselves.
BTW: If I had the answer to your technical issues I'd offer it, but I don't.

The upcoming HTC HD2 has a capacitive screen, meaning that traditional styli cannot be used with the device. Because of this, HTC has stripped out the Transcriber option, as seen below from the HD2 ROM. Also of note is that there is now only one keyboard option, which is HTC's Touch keyboard. Gone is the small stylus keyboard that we've come to know for many generations of Windows Mobile.
With Transcriber gone, will you miss it?

If I read the site you linked to correctly, L3V5Y says the transcriber is a registry setting, but is still in the OS. Anyone know what registry setting would enable it?
I just checked my Tilt2 and it still has transcriber. If you click on the Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. Go to other input methods, and transcriber is one of them. I don't know of any custom roms that have the transcriber, but my Tilt2 rom has it. I haven't flashed anything to my Tilt2 yet, but will be doing so soon. I have flashed a lot of roms to my old Tilt and Fuze, but am really looking to get a stock ATT rom with the BS bloat taken out. I have yet to look at Da_g's, but will be doing so shortly.
And, by the way, I've been a member for about three years, but my post count is low because I do search for things. when I have asked a question, I typically have gotten great responses. The "go search" people are usually smug people with no knowledge, but have seen others write it, so they do too.
My GPS wakes up in <10s in clear skies when it's been on somewhat recently, perhaps 1 minute if it's got stale data.
If your GPS takes forever to warm up, there's something wrong with it. As for the registry entries, you're probably just doing it wrong. Besides, there's zero need for it anyway.

What ver of Mobile you have 6.1 ??
In Mobile 6.5 - If I goto Keyboard icon, it brings up the options. I have NO "other input methods "
sad to say .. But true
--------------------------------------edit
Ok .. I am a dumbass I installed Transcriber .. and true it does not give you the option of choosing it 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 :/

My Tilt 2 (6.5) offers Transcriber, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, and Block Recognizer. Sorry your ROM is crippled.

I have a tilt2 and both transcriber and letter recognizer (my favorite) are enabled and the tilt 2 does use wm 6.5. i went back to the stock rom after flashing the energy rom because it didn't have it, i just prefer features over speed. i vow not to flash another rom unless it has full handwriting recognition, i for one use it a lot more than the keyboard.

I really feel annoyed by when people tell me look at this or that thread when from my post you can tell that I already did that. I tried to follow the instruction on the tweaks, cabs thread, but got stuck, so please why in this forum specifically every time I ask a question I get these insulting replies.
I think I will abandon my dam HTC TOUCH pro2 and go back to HTC TOUCH HD forum since at least there I get answers. I am really pissed now.
For gods sake respect that we are at least trying to learn, and stop being rude to us, by showing us that we are stupid

Hi hykhleif
I think that you have misunderstood the ethos of this forum. This is a developers forum not a users forum. There is a "Questons and Answers" section in the General section of the forum which you'll see at the top of the main forum page. You may get more detailed help by posting questions there.
I think that if you want "user" advice generally this is potentially not the best place to look but a forum on the HTC website. I think that www.expansys.com has some good user forums as well.
I hope you get your device working to your satisfaction.
Best wishes

Mods,
Not that I am a religious freak or anything like that, not that I object to those who choose to believe in that sort of stuff...
For the record I would like to convey my objection to the tone err attitude err approach err demanding nature of the comments err are we here on this planet to serve this person err is he a reincarnated faro? I move that this thread be removed and our faro friend be given some lessons/guidance on how to communicate in a none aggressive (or pigheaded) way...
We all get frustrated... we all have people in our lives that represent a challenge... our girlfriends/boyfriends all get headaches from time to time... so lets keep a lid on the aggressive nature particularly in this our very fine forum...
PATIENTS is a VIRTUE.

simply i apologize to my tone, i was not aggressive but frustrated.
