Ok, so even after loading the Tegic eT9 English Cab file and eT9 full cab. However, some symbols are not mapped.

For Example:

Alt M should be ! and I get =

Alt Q should be % and I get %

J, K, L & P are not working either. What should I do?

Picture question

I have been using the new 6.1 rom for about two weeks now and everything seems to be working fine except for the pictures I had on my storage card cannot be viewed. When I try to access them I receive an Alert that states "there is no application associated with (filename)". As a test I tried opening the files through an active sync connection through my computer, but when I click on the file I receive a similar message, also the file type is listed as a MENC file, when formally these files were JPEGS, AVIs, etc. Anyone know whats up with this?

I also have a noob question for you; how do I produce a backslash on my keyboard? I only have a fore slash. TY in advance and TY for such an awesome rom.
[HTC Excalibur] sabiandrums3:
I also forgot to mention any new pictures I take or receive via MMS work just fine and can be viewed and stored on the storage card.

[HTC Excalibur] pudgedaddy:
Ok i figured out a solution (or 2 solutions) to this issue. Even though i figured it out on my own i thought i'd post it in case anyone else wants to do this.

The settings and activesync options in control panel are trying to point to \windows\settings.lnk and \windows\sync.lnk but in this new ROM neither file exist. But they DO exist in the \windows\start menu directory. So you can do one of two things.

1. copy and paste both the settings.lnk and activesync.lnk files from the \windows\start menu directory and paste them into the \windows directory, but you will also need to rename the activesync.lnk file you are pasting over to sync.lnk (leaving out the active part)

2. You can edit the registry:

Navigate to HKCU-->Software-->e-Natives-->SmartToolkit. and edit the value cpanel_items .. when you edit it you will see that somewhere on the line it will say \windows\Settings.lnk all you will need to do is make it say \windows\start menu\settings.lnk . then for activesync

on the same value you will see \windows\sync.lnk you will change that part to read windows\start menu\activesync.lnk

after you do that go back into STK's start menu and then control panel and you will see that both activesync and settings in the menu work!

HOWTO: Change Default Font in WM6

I for one don't really like the default Tahoma font, so I thought I'd share how to change the default font.

Using the default Vista font "Segoe UI"

1. Copy your font file (usually *.ttf) into /Windows/Fonts. Be sure to note the INTERNAL name of the font (find it out by double-clicking on the file in Windows)

in this case "Segoe UI"

2. Using your favorite registry editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SysFnt

3. Find the key named "Nm". Replace what's in it (usually Tahoma) with the name of the font, in this case "Segoe UI"

4. Repeat III for "HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\Menufnt\Barfnt" and "Popfnt"

4.1 Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1

- look for something like FontAliases. The keys inside represent the font "choices" -you have (which default to Tahoma), and look like Arial:-12. Change the value -from Tahoma* to Segoe UI*.

- Rinse and repeat.

5. Reset

And that's it ! The Segoe font renders much more easier to the eyes with Cleartype (and the spacing is really nice)

Do post newer font faces that look nice on QVGA screens

I've uploaded a screenshot of AudioManager in playlist mode. As you can see, the font spacing is MUCH better, and the font looks crispier......try it out!

you can tether via bluetooth using Personal Area Networking on MAC OS 10.4.9 or higher. follow these steps:

1. pair dash with mac

2. go to internet sharing and specify BT PAN as pc connection leave network connection as T-Mobile Data

3. Press Connect

4. click on modem icon in menu bar on MAC (the one that looks like a phone with wifi bars radiating off of it)

5. select join network on T-Mobile Dash or HTC s620

6. browse on MAC :D

my suggestion for a backup program is Sprite Backup (you'll need the latest version., i think its 6.0.2 or 6.2) although if you're trying to backup stuff from one rom and then restore it onto another rom, it creates issues with some programs. So if you're currenty on another rom, only do a backup for that one if you feel you may end up going back to it, otherwise do a clean install of the new ROM, install all your apps and tweaks as you want it then do a backup of the new ROM, once you have it the way you want it.
[HTC Excalibur] T-Will:
You can also try Dotfred Backup: http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty full-featured. Planning to load it up before I go on vacation (in case anything happens to my Dash while I'm away from the PC). Although, I'm not too worried since I haven't had any data corruption issues in the past 1.5 years that I've used my Dash.
[HTC Excalibur] HKBoySiR:
Thanks, I just found that too. Here's an updated cab file.

[HTC Excalibur] HKBoySiR:
Tegic eT9 US English

The only glitch I found in my earlier english cab file for eT9 was that the "0" key would type "0" by default instead of tab.

I've just put together a cab file that replicates the original T-Mobile Dash's keyboard. No oddities so far. Hope this fixes some of the stranger keyboard issues listed on this page.

@DreamCatch - I am still working on your language issue. Hope to have something tonight.
[HTC Excalibur] tman701:
Ok if you got that far then you are at step 4.

When you ran the "auto.bat" did any errors come with weird numbers on your PC's screen?

1) Unzip it first.

2) Run "Auto.bat" on your pc if your device is locked. Run it anyways if you are unsure.

3) Follow the instructions by pressing any key each time on your PC.

4) THIS is the IMPORTANT part. When you get to the part that tells you

"execute SPL now - press center button on your Excalibur and screen should turn nearly white. Press any key to continue . . ." Make sure you press a key on your "PC" FIRST then the screen

on your DASH will change and there will be a button in the middle of your screen on your DASH.

Now you press the center button on your DASH. Your screen should turn all white.

5) Once again press any key on your PC or run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from your PC, follow the instructions on that. Enjoy the new ROM.

This has worked everytime, but you have to follow the instructions exactly as I wrote them.

how nice it would be

if a rom was made to suit folks using dash as a super ppc, with no cellphone company programs (the trivial stuff you loose when tmobile gets all in your grill, like messenger, contacts, anything not dealing with ppc capabilities). Im no programmer, but it seems it would be easier to just put out a rom focused on having a tiny pc in your pocket. The time it takes to program for cell phone signals would shift to molding a perfect dash, I think it would be pretty great. :D

Can threaded Text messages be exported?

Hi to all,

Is there a way to export a text message thread from the Kavana 6.1 ROM?

It could be to Word or Notepad, whatever works.

If anyone knows how to do this that would be great

Thanks in advance.

Also another small point. I am with Fido (or Rogers Wireless - same network). When I receive voicemail notification, the network sends me a text message which enters the thread under the title "+18". But I do not see the Voice mail waiting notification icon display. Fido assures me the network is functioning normally. Could this be a registry item that needs adjustment? I did have a problem with receiving "Caller ID Name Display" which I do subscribe to - that was fixed based on a forum posting here. I had to change three small registry item values, then it worked perfectly. Any ideas?

I just looked at my registry and it is there and set to 1. In the settings screen there is usually an option for the JOGGER (I guess it depends on the ROM) and an option for silencing the ringer which you can enable.

I called myself and double-tapped the bottom rectangle of the Jogger. The ringer stopped but the call did not go to voicemail. Give that a shot.

Very strange behavior when entering text

I can't say how appreciative I am for this rom, it's nice to see my T-mo dash usable and actually responsive. I have, encountered one issue with text entry and am hoping someone here might have a solution.

While typing a text, I attempted to disable t9. I pressed alt+space and got the text entry menu. I no longer remember what I chose, however, now I no longer get the menu, or anything else when pressing alt. Even stranger, the phone seems to only recognize the number block when entering text, i.e. when I press e, I cycle between a, b, c and 1. Pressing 'v' gives me w, x, y, z and of course 9. No matter what I try, I can not get my phone out of this mode. I've not tried hard resetting the device as I'm hopeful someone might have a registry fix that can be implemented without my needing to reconfigure everything. One more note, I attempted to install the eT9_Full.cab, however, get a certificate error and am unable to proceed.

I'm relatively new to Windows Mobile, so apologize if there's something very simple I'm just not seeing. My hope is that there's a registry value that will somehow allow me to use the Dash's keyboard fully and without the T9 stuff.

Any help extremely appreciated.

Thanks,
