Fix for Font Problem with new imate ROM and Opera

There's two ways you can fix this.
First:
1) Buy Tweaks2k2 and install on your imate Product
2) Using the Tweaks Program, change the system font
3) Soft Reset using psshutxp (NOT USING THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) Start Opera (Problem is solved)
5) (Optional) Run Tweaks2k2 again and change system font back to original (Tahoma). Soft Reset again using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
Second option (because I'm cheap and I don't want to buy the program:
1) Look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../html/cgconreplacingwindowscedefaultfonts.asp
2) Using a Registry Editing Program, go to the registry entries listed in the link above and change the name of the font (i.e. "Nm") to Courrier New. I recommend you do this to all 4 registry lines (Someone who's smarter than me can figure out which one specifically does the job).
3) Once you've changed the "Nm" entry of the 4 listed registry keys listed above, do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON)
4) After reboot, run Opera and the problem is solved.
5) (Optional) Go back and change the 4 registry keys to their original value (Tahoma) and do a soft reset using psshutxp (NOT THE HARDWARE BUTTON) Hope this helps.

Or another easier way.
Just copy verdana.ttf from your computer to your /windows/fonts directory on your Universal.

Wrong....
The only thing that helps is to copy Verdana.ttf from PC to /Windows older on Universal.

I love this forum and you guys !
thanks you ! Will try this ASAP

goxboxlive,
Thanks for the comments. I tried you're way as well. You're right, its even easier. However, if folks want to put a custom font on their machine (way off topic), they can use the registry edits I used above. I've been playing with it for a while now. I had no idea you could do all this stuff. Fun.

Can someone explain what the 'psshutxp' is?
Thanks

It's a skinnable little app that allows you to turn the screen off (not just backlight - separate utility as well), soft reset, power down, and hard reset. I use it to turn the backlight off and do a soft reset if I can't find my stylus.
Note that the recommendation is probably made with regards to the soft reset otherwise possibly being done before the registry/file changes are written away. You can alternatively wait a while, or try to power down the device fully (hold the on/off (standby, really) button for a while, and you should get a prompt).

Re: Thanks....
Actually I copied Arial.TTF into the font folder and it became the default font. Tried calbri instead and it too worked..
BUT once you have added a font to the directory I cant seem to delete it.
What I am having happen, is the keyboard pops up as soon as Opera opens, when I close it Opera unboots, ditto with IE now..

mouse mode in WM6

I have a problem and hope that some of the Artemis experts can help me
In WM6 you can select the mouse mode. Normally it is disabled which is fine since I use the keys more.
However, from time to time the mouse spontanious appears, probably after pressing a button too often or too long.....
How can I remove completely this function?? I don't use it and it is bugging me..
I have looked at the registry but there is nothing I can find..

what rom?
what button u press?

rename mousemode.exe in the /windows folder of the ppc into mousemode.bak
Use totalcommander instead of the normal ppc explorer, otherwise its a pain to do it...
soft reset.

I have tried to rename the file by using total comander CE and each time after I choose the enter after changing the exe to bak the file remains a .exe file????

Are you using Meschles Touch 2.1 ROM? Or do you have Hbutton installed? Meschled set the Start Menu Button to Activate the mouse when you hold it until it vibrates. If you don't use his ROM then it's not the reason.

Or after you close TomTom??
See this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1536593&postcount=2

I am using the Fracoon 2.2 ROM.
I have tried to press and hold the start menu but nothing happens.
To be quite honest, I have no idea what triggers the enabling of the mouse mode but it is irritating that it sometimes comes up
I know it is not when you close TomTom

I am sorry you are right. Work around is this.
1. Copy the mousemode.exe to another folder on the storage card(for save keeping).
2. open notepad or pword and make a tekst document. save it as mousemode.exe in \mydocuments (it will save as mousemode.exe.txt)
3. opentotal commander and rename mousemode.exe.txt into mousemode.exe
4. copy the new mousemode.exe into the windows folder (it will overwrite the old mousemode.exe.
5. soft reset.
Update:
Try to disable the mousemode via settings and afterwards do the steps above. Otherwise you will have a mousemode, but cannot shut it down an it treloads at a soft reset.
ready!

Just want to know if there is any Cab for
Mouse Mode in WM6

ASUS P750 - VGA ROM available!!!

Well, we (Sorg and GreateVK) finished VGA ROM for ASUS P750.
Primary thread (on Russian)

Heya! Thanks for the work on the VGA rom! I tried to load it into my P750, unfortunately I'm getting the following error message:
Boot : Checksum error!
Update fail!
Not sure what's up with this but I was able to install your WM 6.1 rom perfectly. Anyone else having the same trouble?

Use original USB-cable. From MicroSD it's impossible to load VGA into P750

Oh, so I can just copy the nb0 file into the main phone memory? Is there a specific directory I need to copy the file to?
I've been installing roms via microsd card in the past, didn't know I can't do the same with the VGA rom.

Voice command botton does not active P750
Hi Sorg, GreateVK,
Last time before update cook rom v0.09, I can use voice command botton press force mode. Now it does not work. Other way auto run cab fr sdcard does not also. Do we have other way to downgrade or clear it. pls advice.
Thx, F

You flash it as all other cooked roms from the SD-card and force bootloader.
The v1.02 has a big time issue with memory leak, starts with 25 MB, but at the end of the day under 10 MB without any programs running...

Does this rom have a vga wireless manager?
I'm trying to find one to port to the E-ten x800 as the wireless manager from E-ten is pretty bad.

NO its the same one from WM6.0 but it is okay

------------------------
1. How to flash fr sdcard? which rom version nbo, cab? where i can load?
2. I'm quite sure force bootloader cannot do it, Coz voice command does not active (voice command + slide power upward + joystick downward + reset)
3. VGA rom is nbo or cab file, the way to do as item 1 or not.
Pls advice,
Thx, F

Yes, it's in english!
Just copy the ROM file on the root of your sd card, plug the usb power (cable or power adapter) then hold the voice command button + hold power button upward + hold joystick downward + reset with the stylus
A bit difficult but not impossible

Thanks, do you know of a way to back up the existing ROM first to go back to it ?

Flash from the SD-card:
Org. roms: cap-file
Boot Loader Force Flash:
Plug into Charger (or Computer), Press the Record Button in and the Joystick UP and the Power/Hold Slider upwards and hold these three in Position and then press the Reset Button to start the Flash
Modded roms: nb0-file
Boot Loader Force Flash:
Plug into Charger (or Computer), Press the Record Button in and the Joystick down and the Power/Hold Slider upwards and hold these three in Position and then press the Reset Button to start the Flash
To backup your own rom you need to dump the rom- difficult:
But all the original roms are on the ASUS site!
ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Mobile_Phone/P750/
Just download the correct one and reflash the phone.

Now, here is how you do it
You start with p750 horizontally before you, the screen to the left, numpad to the left.
1. take the stylus into your mouth, locate the reset hole and slip it into it (do not push it yet).
2. left hand: hold the joystick down.
3. right hand: press voice record button and with the thumb slide the power button.
4. immediatelly push the stylus with your tongue and hold the whole combination for a second or two.
Joost: which one is the right one on ASUS ftp? I mean the qvga, English.

Take the Singapore one WWE SG !!

Anyone seen the French ROM on their FTP ?

Hi Joost,
Thx for yr time, finally my H/W voice command does not active. Now change MB can do everything. So far i test vga rom v.1.0 it's pretty display, memory too low, CPU slow down.
thx, F

Do the VGA Rom's available put the phone in VGA mode permanently or do you have the option to switch between VGA and QVGA?

Assign anny Program launcher to Startbutton in upper left corner

Hallo
i found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486712
With this program you can assign anny program to the "software" startbutton.
I mapped YotaCenter to start button and would say its far better than the new windows startmenu and the new htc start menu.
It has several advantages. YotaCenter enables you to place favorite apps in an easy way and brings a taskmanager.
Also other program launchers are better than the windows/htc one - so give this startbutton app a try

I want to do this could you tell me what I have to do as that thread is a bit confusing for a nooby?
Thanks

thanks!!!
hI MARKUSSIEBERT!! Thank you for your great app. I am happy finally! Thanks

has anyone got this working on dutty 2.3?

Yes - im using it with dutty 2.3 even if it seems that there are some unexpected behavios.
Unexpected behaviors are:
-sometimes (ever 15 - 20th touch) the original startmenu appears, but its ok
-a second click on "Start" doesnt close the launcher window (because it only launches)
How to use it:
1. install the cab
2. open any registry editor
3. goto HKCU\software\allelimo\StartButton\Run
4. change the value to what you want to start
If you want to launch:
\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
you have to insert:
MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
if you want to start an application that is not on the Program Files folder, you can write the full path instead:
\Memory Card\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
How to extend the hook to the "Start" text?
HKCU\software\allelimo\StartButton\HookText
Set this value to 1 for hooking the word "Start"
Delete the key for hooking only the Start button

yeah, i could get it to work from the memory card, but i reinstalled yota onto the phone and i got it working..
as you said clicking start doesnt close it,
one more (i dont know if it is limited to dutty 2.3) if you click to the right of the start text the normal start menu will come up, every time..

you have to diasble the new htc startmenu first,
To enable "old" LargeMenu (Disable new manila start menu):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\Enable ManilaStartMenu =dword:00000000
then configure this tool...works for me

[REQ] Clean 6.1 / 6.5.1 rom

Hi,
I was thinking that maybe the good things of WM6.1 and WM6.5.1 could be put in one rom.
Because I like the startbutton and the close button at the bottom from 6.5.1, but I liked the quickmenu from from 6.1.
I also want the quickmenu of task manager back, so you can open it any time without having to go to the startmenu again.
So I was thinking to put the quickmenu from start and task manager together and make it open by pushing the start button at the bottom, just like with normal windows (see pictures).
To make the rom go fast and without having all kinds of programs that you don't even use, I would like to have only these programs/settings cooked:
- Enable internet and bluetooth
- The option to really close a program by pressing the X-button
- Long press end-key
- All standard settings
- An internet browser (don't care which one)
- Office mobile
- Notes
- Pictures and Video's
- Tasks
- Camera
So NO extra keyboard, windows media player (got my own music player), ram cleaner, lock, navigation, etc.
Another very important thing is: I don't want the 6.5 layout as home screen and no touchflow, just the Today screen.
I think that will be possible, because a friend of mine got an old htc and also only the Today screen.
I'm not able to make my own rom, but I'm sure there are a lot of people that know how to do it.
Could anyone make me this rom, please?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583606
this is what u want i think, no touchflow no titanium home.
otherwise theres few clean ROMs available that are pretty good with titanium.

looking at ur attachments... just 2 words..... yuk yuk lol

Thanks for the replay, I'm gonna try the rom.
But how do I instal a .nbh file?

pls search forum for flashing from internal storage.
oh well...
1: copy the ROM in internal storage, rename the file to diamimg.nbh
2: press vol down + back key + press reset with stylus [keep it press untill screen changes to boot loader 3 color screen]
3: press power button to start flash.
4: after completion again soft reset.
5: u can do hard reset now if u like.
u can do MTTY first if u want and then do all the steps from 1 - 4
u can also use custom RUU as well.
u better be HARD SPL'ed or i take no responsibility.

Thanks so much, I'm flashing now...

Is hard reset necessary?

Ehm, nothing happened.
I've still got my old rom...

pls search forum for ur answer, u apparently a newbie and its better to be safe buddy.
1: u should have HARD SPL before flashing custom ROM
2: u sure u renamed file to diamimg in root of internal storage.
3: does it shows successful at the end.
4: try with RUU

I am indeed a newbie, but...
1: I've installed HARD SPL
2: I renamed it diamimg and if you mean with "in root of internal storage" just in internal storage (not in subfolders) then, yes I did that.
3: It showed successful at the end
4: I'm gonna try with RUU then What exactly is RUU? Or do you mean rename it again?
Thanks for all the information .

RUU is a custom windows flasher that u use to flash using windows.
another idea since u got the success prompt is it possible that by mistake u flashed ur old ROM.
