if u watch in main post of ur rom im not the only one who ask about this problem...i really dont understand why it happen..
i dont want to flash again my pda and setup all again hehe but if i dont remember bad the other time i flashed (for batterystatus problem) i had the same problem..
4.1 about how much time need? hehe
im using darkphonepad but with classic one its the same

Hi,
i found an workaround to set phonepad to default.
1. Install "Phone Pad - International.CAB"
2. Install SKTools (Demomode is ok)
3. Set in SKTool under "Input Methods" Phone Pad to default
4. After restart run SKTool again
5. Remove all Input Methods excepting Phone Pad (Remove Key)
6. Softreset
7. Install GermanInputWM6.cab
Phone Pad is now the default Input Method after this. And the normal German Keyboard is in Inputlist, too.
There is anymore a Problem. Other Input Methods can only set one time after Restart???!!!
This workaround will not run with "Touch Phone Pad - International.CAB"!!!!! If you do that with this version, your PDA will not start anymore after set it to the default "Input Methods"!!??
Not Forget to change the LanguageKey in the Registry to 0!
Anyone know with file must be change to get the skin of Touch Phone Pad?

i think the freware version doesent have that function right?
anyway i need the italian language and i never seen a cab with italian keyboard around...
i found another workaround...simply install tons of times and set language everytime before open phonepad....1 time on 10 it works heheeh
with ur workaround phonepad works at every reset? because lots of time for me when i press "phonepad" in the menu it switch on normal keyboard without displaing phonepad skin...and then i need to reinstall phonepad

I found a better way!
Use this Too => IMSelector (Default_IM_WM5.CAB)
I found it here: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?11,801
With this Tool "Touch Phone Pad - International.CAB" work as default IM now without delete the original IMs!

im flashing again...
but i think it wont change anything
can u attach that file? the link in that forum doesent work

Here the file...

real thanks
with the new flash i found a way to use my language...but still disappear phonepad sometimes...
simply the first time i install it before reset pda..i choose the language then soft reset...
before select phonepad go to options and choose again the language (should be on the last u choosed) then confirm 2 times and the T9 dictionary is the right one...
i hope that with ur workaround i can eliminate the problem with disappeared phonepad

Automatch contact in sms

Hi guys, I am appriciated to all of your works. But I just got one question.
Do you know how to enable automatch in sms when you write at "To:" in new sms? ( like wm6)
It is seem to be does not work any more in most of your rom. Its only work in Bepe 0.54 basic.
Thx very much.

its default in ALL of the basic Diamond ROMS. Simple make sure you are typing in the correct name and give it a second.

Actually I am using your rom. But it is not working in my Diamond. I dont know why. Do you have any suggestion? Thx
I mean it is not working with keyboard, or resco keyboard pro. ( it is working with phone keyboard, etc...) But the annoying thing is: It auto insert contact after press space do you know how to disable it. THX

it does work because i just tried it, make sure your contacts are on the phone and not on the sim. also check if you have selected T9 or single input.

I have the same problem, it works with the new big kb, but not with the standard old keyboard.

I Just discovered that. The auto-fill( like wm6) was disable by ezinput or xt9. Because when I flash a rom without them. The auto-fill will work. I hope someone can sort it out. THX

What you can do if AutoMatch doesnt work for you is type in the name of the contact or part of the name, click menue and then click check names. Works like a charm.
I never even knew that The diamond had Automatch contatcs in the Messaging system

Truth but the "automatch" (or auto-fill) is much more convenience

I guess. But convenience is good when its working...lol......plus its only two taps of the screen..at least you dont need to go through 5 or 6 menus like you used to...hehe

Install Kaisertweak, disable xt9 with it, restart device and it all works again with default kb.

On Screen Keyboards

Hi there,
I'm usually in the Blackstone or Rhodium forums and have a mate who has the Xperia X1 and asked me about the on screen keyboards.
Looking at this phone, he only has the normal on screen keyboard which needs the stylus to be used, is there anyone out there that has the "Full QWERTY" and "Phone Keypad" Keyboards as a cab to install?
Thanks

search for FINGER KEYBOARD 2.1 or something like that. it's much better than the se kb.

Are u serious?
what's the point of a software keyboard when u have a hardware one?
imho, the best solution even is to install nullkeyboard to stop the annoying software keyboard from popping up.

Try SPB Keyboard. Its great
Hi, Although u have the slider keyboard already, but for obvious reasons one may need a software keyboard too. Try SPB Keyboard (just google it and u get the links). It also gives u lot many plugins to shoose from various layouts/options of keyboard.
I have been using it for long and its works great on X1.

fingerkeyboard is by far the best!

hm.. this might help u

Although hardware keyboards are great, you need two hands to use them. When you want to send a quick message or send something quick on Twitter etc, one hand is prefered, hence the Software Keyboard is needed.

Cheers for the link

I used the Touch IT Blackstone keyboard set which includes a handy keypad, simulating a normal phone pad. I mostly use it for one-handed sms.
The filename is Touch-IT Blackstone Keyboard.cab or something, so a search would probably yield results.

Tried fingerkeyboard, Blackstone and SPB one. Actually I'm with the xT9 keyboard, that id the official finger-friendly keyboard that SE ships with the R3A ROM release. It is by far the best one I've ever tried.
Try it, it's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494026

The xT9 is the best keyboard. The only one you can use with one hand!

It is working fine except hardware keymapping - QWERTY FN key is not working well. need to surf to find answer..

that was my issue... there's other ezinput 2.0 that i've got/tried...
and the fn keys are outputting different things...
ezinput 1.5 works BUT has smaller keys and the font is messed up (courier?)
oh well
still eager for someone to fix this issue...

what about the issue that older EzInput keyboards had with the predictive text on the X1i?
I remember when i installed 1.5 it would no longer pre-populate names as i was typing in the To: section for a text message

dont really care about t9 or predictive text...
i just want to type and use the fn key to properly output numbers rather than using sym all the time >.<

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
