[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] MarkoDiMarko:
Hello to everybody. First post from me in this great community.

First, I'm gonna start by telling you my initial problem. I've always been buying some second hand HTCs from ebay. I've already owned an XDA II, XDA IIi, Qtek S200 and recently a Qtek P3300, with various brand names. My problem was always, to have a greek keyboard that could handle 160 characters in SMSs and a greek contact manager that I could search easily scrolling the greek letters. Until now, I somehow was able to find a cracked or cooked greek ROM and use it without any problem. Until I bought the P3300. Most of you out there should know by now that there is an official A_C_E Hellas greek translation extROM which, if you load it in your "non Greek" P3300, it will lock it down. I've been trying to crack the protection which finally understood who it works (with the great help of andrew_sh, thanks a lot man, I changed my username if you still wonder who I am), but for some reason which I don't know, it doesn't work for the P3300. So, I finally gave up trying, for the only reason that I DIDN'T want to translate the ROM (English is more than good for me), just the 2 things I mentioned in the opening. So, I focused in these 2 and here comes the result.

There are 2 different cabs. The first is the original A_C_E Hellas greek keyboard, with registry tweaks that provides 160 greek characters support for SMSs, both for Windows mobile 5 and 6. It's been tested in 2 different HTC models and works like a charm. It SHOULD work for any Mobile 5 and 6 OFFICIAL ROM. The second cab, just translates the phone part to Greek, with the ease to scroll down Greek letters while searching for a contact. This too has been tested on 2 different OFFICIAL HTC ROMS and it does work. It should NOT work on cooked ROMS, so try it in your own responsibility. I know some alternatives have been posted by minotavr, by using resco keyboard pro with greek characters file and PocketCm Contact Manager, but it didn't satisfy me in any way.

So, I'm posting the cabs and I'm waiting for your tests and results. I'm emphasizing that they should be used with OFFICIAL WWE ROMS and with Regional settings set to Greek. I would prefer if we keep this tread in English, just for respect for this great community.

Forgive me for the huge post. Have fun.There are 2 different cabs.
