Hey guys,
im all new to this custom rom stuff. Some days ago I installed CM13 on my OP3 and im very happy with it since then.
Only one small thing kinda bothers me. I am from germany and sometimes i have to use the "ß" letter, but it doesnt seem to get displayed properly. I do have a "ß" key on my keyboard but its not labelled. There is just a play key with nothing on it that can type the "ß". And on some news articles the ß wont get displayed either, in the headline for example.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thx and hello to everyone here on xda !!
best regards

Hi
Has anyone seen a countdown timer that sits on the todayscreen? I am looking for a freeware version.
The reason is I am off on a holiday in less than 3 months and want to know how many days and hours till I go just by looking at my phone - (without opening a program hence the today screen) I have searched the forums for a few weeks but haven't found anything yet (but that could just be my searching technique!!).
Once the holiday is up I would look to use it for other events that are coming up.
thanks in advance
Wow, you must really want that holiday badly.
Job sucks, huh?
lol, yep!!
i'm going to new zealand for 3 weeks (and visiting someone out there ) - going to be hard to come back after!!
I'm also competing in a Half Marathon a few weeks prior, and need to know how many days left I have for training at a glance. So ideally the today app should pick up on the dates from the calender and then display them on the today screen (I think thats the ideal way...but i'm not a programmer so wouldn't know for sure! lol). I've seen quite a few countdown type programs but none that sit on the today screen (from what I can tell - want to preserve battery life so don't want it running constantly which is another reason why I like the idea of it going on the today screen and the Touch HD (or mine at least) needs the battery life preserving as much as possible - usually manage 2 days before charging - have run it out in 12 hours and less though before now....and once managed 4 days before charging....but that was without talking to anyone at all!!!)
Still no luck finding what i'm after - searched here and other forums - if anyone has seen something that is similar to what i'm looking for, please feel free to pm me.
does anyone know how to program this?
cheers
count down timer
Hi,
Try this little CAB used to use it on my tytn but not tried it on my HD.
Hope it works, enjoy your holls.
(it works on the today screen so cant use it with TF3D)
install then soft reset, then activate through settings.
regards
Jon
Thanks Jon, just what was needed and another satisfied xda-dev customer!
Edit update:
installed and running fine on the HD so far.
Have a great holiday. Hope she's worth it.
(BTW, whereabouts in NZ are you going?)
So do I!! lol
Going all over, visiting both Islands -North and South and trying to see and photograph as much as possible. Will be there for 3 weeks but the time will fly by too quickly before the reality of coming back to work sets in
My next task for the HD is to find some New Zealand maps for TT7 (in English of course) .....time to start another search!!

Hi
I set mine up by going to the Start menu (I'm not using TF3D) settings, Today icon, then the Items tab, then touch T-Day Counter and press options on the right, then just input the the date you need to count down to and press OK top right. (making sure that it has a tick on the tickbox) and it should appear on the Today screen telling you how many days left
hope that helps

Hey guys. First of all a huge thanks to all of you guys. This forum helped me a whole lot over the last few weeks
so first of all: I work as a professional translator and therefor am looking for a suitable app to properly edit my microsoft Word documents. What i would need is some app which has a dictionary implemented (as add-on maybe) and things like word count, redo, undo, autocorrect...
Anyway i didnt find anything which suited my needs (also tried documents to go full version) but from all the apps ive tried Thinkfree write still seems the most comfortable. My problem now is: Sometimes when i want to edit a document and open the keyboard (i work with swype) I can swype over the keyboard as usual, but instead of putting the word into the document, the keyboard just closes down and doesnt let me open it up anymore. I have to play around a little bit and try different parts of the doc until the keyboard finally works again. Then it seems to work for a few secs and afterwards it shuts down again... Its really rather annoying. I tried a factory reset and a few reboots, but the problem persists.
Does anyone have similar problems? And do you guys maybe know some other very good Microsoft word editing program?
Ok now to my problem with gangstar. Ive tried installing it and everything works fine. Once i actually enter the game the textures arent displayed correctly. I can play and all but i dont quite see where im going and what im doing.
Im a pretty big GTA fan so id really like to try this game^^
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance. You guys rock =D
Swype and ThinkFree
I too have the same problem on my Samsung Vibrant with Swype working intermitantly and closing down in edit mode in thinkfree. Anyone come up with a solution yet?

Dear friends,
I have serious troubles with my hardware keyboard,
it's german layout (and a german phone).
Often it doesnt take input until the third or fourth tap on the according
button, while other buttons create a series of letters after just one short press.
So the text often looks like this.
Hlllllo mmmmum,
nee yoou to pckk meee upp afffterrr sclllll.
it has been like that for a while, but seems to get worse over time.
at first only m's and n's did this, now it's impossible to enter passwords or other sensitive texts.
I have been using custom roms for a long time, always using hard reset and t29.
but even the old roms where it once used to work fine suck now.
I restored stock spl and installed ofw via sonyericsson fw update,
slighty better, but still uncomfortable.
I used kaiserinput to get the german layout work properly,
but that is not the problem, since i tested the ofw without installing any extra apps or games.
it seems to be a driver issue of some kind, any experiences with that?
Help much appreciated!
Greetings,

It's a known issue. If you had used the search function you would have found the answer yourself. You have to disassemble your phone and clean the contacts. Afterwards your keyboard will be just as new.
Hey thanks for the quick reply.
I apologize that i have not searched hard enough,
I could not find it in my attempts.
Would you mind to post the according thread link for me?
I will try now to find it on my own!
I will report back asap then this thread can be closed!
thanks again,
Fk

Hello everyone!
I have the usual problem with the system limiting my SMSs to 70 characters when using the Greek alphabet.... Someone suggested on the Smart Keyboard forum (http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=970&p=4484#p4484) that HTC has solved this. But for me, the problem persists in a weird way:
-Of course I type in all caps
-If I use any letters that are specific to the Greek alphabet (Ψ,Ω,Δ,Λ,Σ etc) the limit stays at 160 characters
-If I type a letter that is common to the latin alphabet it drops to 70 characters!
It's strange, but I haven't seen much talk about this issue here, though it was a big topic in WinMo discussions (WM has the same problem).
So:
-Can someone verify whether or not HTC has fixed this?
-Does anyone have a suggestion?
Using RevolutionHD 2.09 with 1.72.405.3 .
Thanks!

Anyone?.... I also tried the IME mod v27 to no avail...
Goodmorning my friend,
Unfortunately my friend you have to use the ACE HELLAS solution for this, which is a "top secret" info, they will never help you out with this.
Had the same problem with my previous phone (HTC Legend), and ended up using SlideIT with Greek add-on, which I remember that worked for SMS (ofcourse always caps). Give it a try and let me know.
In case you really need Greek, and you are willing to come back to ACE HELLAS stock, I can Nandroid mine when it comes back from service and upload the ROM for you.

Good morning Kostantinos,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply... I can't believe we're in the same s#!+ with Ace Hellas once more - it was the exact same situation some 4 years ago when I got my TytnII! Of course this is not the sign of a serious company (speaking both for HTC and ACE) since the fix should have found its way upwards and be included in the stock HTC ROMs.... but I digress.
I'm running a custom ROM, so I wouldn't want to go back to a stock one, but I guess that this could be rectified by just grabbing the relevant apk(s)?
Also,thanks for the SlideIt kb. I had tried it, but didn't remember it fixes the problem - will try again.
Thanks again, and have a great day,
Themis
I will let you know regarding APKs after I root my DHD, as soon as I receive it back from service (the blur picture left part camera issue).
Until then, you can also "dig" information and try the new Swype beta for DHD as well, but I dont think it supports Greek at the moment (not sure). If I find anything I will send you a link.
Yes, the problem is really frustrating, but at least the WM problem was a single HTC_ime.cab file, which worked in almost all devices. In Android it is a real pain in the arse!!! That is why I still stick with the stock ROM.
After 3 years of upgrading Android OSs, this problem should have been fixed generically, from the box.
OK, you can try here... NOT tested, but you have chances to work
Thanks - I'll take you up on your offer, so please do forgive me if I bother you with a PM in a few days
Swype doesn't have Greek - at least didn't have the last time I tried it, so it's a no-go, but SlideIt is good enough I think - it's just that it's totally different and i happen to like the HTC Kyboard
Was it an IME cab for WM? I seem to remember it was a keyboard cab. And it seems to be the same here - there are messaging apps (call me Handcent) that solve it with the stock keyboard, but there are also third-party kb's that solve it with the stok messaging app! So it seems it can be fixed two-ways... If I could help in any way with digging into the ROM please do let me know!
Oh, just got a notification about your second post in a row - wow, it includes Greek! Lemme grab it, quick
Thanks once more mate, it's strange how not more people discuss this issue (time to visit the ACE Hellas fora again after several years I think! ).
Cheers

Ahhh yes I remembered the problem with Swype: it FCs whenever you switch languages... so kinda useless
[edit] and, also, it doesn't solve the 70-char issue, it's exactly the same. Gonna try SLideIt.
[Edit2] ..aaand SlideIt does the same as well.

My dear friend can you send me the HTC_ime.cab file or tell me where can I find it? I have the exact same problem with my wm6.5 phone! I don't want to use the solution with the remapped keyboards!
Number of Characters has to do with Unicode or GSM Alphabet?
Hey Guys.
Im new to the Windows phone, and still learning.
I've buyed a HTC 8s, to try the operation system. A little difficult, but still learning.
My problem is the homescreen isnt working as it should.

I apologies for my english, and hope you get the problem by looking at the picture.
Best Regards.
