Keyboards and SIPs

Q. I changed my Keyboard setting to another language but now the keyboard is blank!

A. You didn't install language files or configure them properly... See the answer in the next question.

Q. I want to change keyboard language to non-English.

A. Install languages from this thread (look for the post titled "Language Packs - QVGA"). When finished, go to Settings->Input->Full QWERTY->Options and select your language.

Q. How do I make my keyboard always use T9 without having to manually set it every time I open a new program (default is ABC currently)?

A. Open registry and set \HKLM\ Software\ Tegic\ eT9\ IME\ CarrierDefaultTextMode to either 1 (T9 always) or 0 (ABC always).

Q. I would like to back up my ET9 words database before I hard reset or re-flash device.

A. Back up these files in \Windows: eT9Rudb.Rdb, eT9Cdb.Cdb, eT9Asdb.Adb. Restore these files with Total Commander (the default File Explorer may not work).

Q. How do I make another keyboard (such as PCM Keyboard) as the default?

A. Two steps:

Go to registry @ HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps and remove the key called Startkey

Then install SIPChange and run it to select your default input method.

Q. How do I enable the old drop-down style of Word Completion for keyboard, block recognizer, etc.?

A. Read this post.

Q. How do I enable Letter Recognizer and Block Recognizer in input menu?

A. Open the registry and change the following:

For letter recognizer:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}\IsSIPInputMethod]
"Default"="1"

For block recognizer:

"Default"="1"
