Great work, your roms are quite fast and even work well in day-to-day use :-)

But I do have a problem with R16 and dutch text input. The dutch ezinput cab doesn't seem to work.

And worse: most of the times when typing I get digits instead of text! It may be a known issue since I had it sometimes in R14.5 also, but now I have it all the time. In R14.5 opening and closing the start menu while in the text input screen (e.g. SMS) solved it.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: it's with the phone keypad that I get digits, the qwerty seems to work. Selecting compact qwerty does not work either.

the WI FI seems not working. there's no indication whether the WI FI is on or not.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
To everyone that can't see their "insert language here" in the dialer -- it's because a while back HTC decided to change the font that they use. Most font cabs that install your font also put certain FONTLINK entries in the registry to include your font as a place the system should search for characters.

This has to be done for each font. Your hebrew font has to be fontlinked to the font that HTC uses for the dialer ("Helvetica Neue OTS"). The registry key is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink

Your value should be something like "\\windows\\hbrewfontname.ttf,ANAME;\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

Make sure you repeat this for:

HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin

HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman

After you do that, you should be fine.

There is always going to be a new version I just updated this one about one week ago. You can always download the newer one and put in to your Extendir Folder. If you want to have the shortcut in the Applications folder just send me the cab or a link and I will fix the shortcut.

Your ROM is really great!! and I love it very much. however, if it does not support Chinese, it is hardly to use here in HK as we frequently receive and SMS in Chinese. I got the CE star but your ROM does not allow me to install. Can u help??
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I thought the cab I put in would work as it had font inside. But as has been posted I may have to change Wincenls file. Just be patient and I will try to have you a fix.

Remember this is a WWE ROM but I wiil try to help where I can but remember I don't have anyway to test it.

Hi, flashed v16 yesterday.

Great ROM would recoment some aditional apps:

1. "AMeBa" for X-Button (showcase is horrible slow for me - and the "close on x" doesn't always work)

2. the GPSMod driver

3. Game "Experiment 13" is nice

4. Manilla Language Manager

other apps i always install:

1. AutoA2DP Manager - like it better then AutoActiveSync

2. A2DP Toggle (needed for AutoA2DP)

3. Samsung Midomi

But got a strange problem:

1. at PhoneScreen i got a vertical Scrollbar at the right side

2. i installed 3 of the 4 manilla mods (not hte 20 apps on 1st screen). But the app icons are already as small as with 20 app - even if the this mod never got installed.

since it was very anoying to send sms with phonepad not working I did hard reset. This time not installed fingerkeyb, and it now all worked fine... seems that fingerkeyb messes up some things
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stanmak:
Bob, you are always helful.

I understood that this is WWE ROM and i shouldn't expect it can deal with Chinese language. The issue i raised it up and hope you can help becasue it just don't let me install the other Chinese language application such as CE Star i used to have. Your 13.5 allow me to install CE Star so no problem at all. Your 14.5 can view Chinese Character in unicode but not big5 code and from 15.5 no chinese character can be viwed.

I appreciate very much if you can be of help.

Thanks a lot!!

HOWTO Install and use Chinese on LIA 16.1

Greetings to all:

I've noticed a lot of people here are using font cabs or CE-STAR to install Chinese support. Warnings about CE-Star -- it often causes unpredictable other problems. LIA 16.1 should have all the built in support for other languages that you need. All you need to do for any language is setup three (or four) things:

1) A font for your language (for Chinese, I recommend using the MSYH.ttf that you can find on your Windows PC. Just use a WinMo file manager to copy/paste it to the \Windows\Fonts directory. I can't include this font in a cab legally because it is licensed material, but I can't stop you from copying it from your own PC to your handheld.)

2) A fontlink setup for that font. Beyond just having the font -- Windows needs to know how to use it. If you copied MSYH.ttf from your PC to your SD Card (keep it there for future use), then copy/paste it to \Windows\Fonts, then you just need to install the cab that I've attached, and everything will display fine. SOFT RESET.

3) Install an IME. I recommend A4 2.8 *or 2.9. PlumSIP is great too. Bobsbbq has even included an EZInput for CHS! SOFT RESET.

If you have a program that still displays strange characters when it should show Chinese, or you language:

4) Go to your Regional Settings box and change it to the country most often associated with that language. After you soft reset everything should work. Next, write to that program's developer and ask them to release their software with proper Unicode support. Tell them, "It's not 2000 anymore!"

:)

Bob, when using LIA_V15_28011_Lite and locking the screen, it would stay in MS, but in the new LIA_16_21616_Lite, it switches back to the Today screen. Any ideas on how to fix this? BTW, I loved LIA_V15_28011_Lite, but it chewed through the battery in about two days. This seems much better with LIA_16_21616_Lite, so that's a bit plus.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
thanks for the great help from bob and rob :)

One question for Rob, if we use the MSYH, will some of the text still go out of margin? Ive heard that YanHei font has the 越界 problem...

bob's CHS pack has chinese font built-in, but I think it misses some reg entries.. I tried to install it on the latest Topix rom, some part will display chinese fine but the system menu and manila will not show chinese properly..

under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\fontlink\systemlink

the string "HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin" is there but not the "HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman"

If we creat the string value with the name "NelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman" and copy the value of the "HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin"'s to it (in the case of the IME CHS cab installed, the value should be something like "\windows\UCSH00B-gray.ttf, AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray);\windows\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma")...soft reset.. all menu and manila will show chinese fine.

ezinput CHS is great... I switched from A4 to ezinput..thanks bob for making the cab!!!!! Qilin has both IMEs built in btw...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I will chk it it was working.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Ok found it. Topaz is not usually used in Landscape. So add this String Value to your Registry and it will work.

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\

Make a new string value with name "EnableLandscape" with the value "true" without quotes. Save and soft reset and it will work.

The 1.54 SPL is just available to some beta tester at the moment. It will likely be V1.6 but there is not any notable differences in my opinion. But since most of the community is moving toward the new SPL I think it is worth the new version.

This ROM is made to be used with HSPL 1.56 or USPL with 1.54 SPL.

This ROM has updated Topaz packages from new Ship ROM 1.40

All Blackstone Packages and Drivers from New 1.56 Ship ROM

XIP & SYS from 21501

Once I get some feedback from the testers I will consider release.

Large Icons in Start Menu

For Those who wish to have the larger icons in the start menu, copy the 2 files in the zipped folder to windows and soft reset. You may have to use Total Commander if you get file permission issues. This will put the start menu back to large icons and 3 rows.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
I haven't seen any margin problem at all, ever. MSYH is what the guys over at xda-china use in their ROMs. The Helevetica Neue OTC is the most important font to patch. Just use YaHei and the cab I uploaded. If you have any problems after that, I'll try to fix them.

Rob
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jldiablo:
After installing the CHS IME, I can see the NeueOTC...Maybe because the topix rom is on manila 2.1, so it needs the HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman. I think if the LT 55 Roman reg entry is included in the cab, It will be more compatible with other ROMs. Anyway, gonna swtich back to LIA soon coz I like the new winmo bulid!!!! hope HTC will fix the messaging bug..then we can stick to M2.5

I'm fine with the CHS IME now..windows\UCSH00B-gray.ttf, AR CrystalHeiU20 Bold(gray), do you know which font is it? a HTC version of Yahei?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
I'm not sure which font that is. I think it's just meant to display on the IME itself. It doesn't really look very nice as the full-time Chinese font.

I just recommend you install MSYH and the cab that is attached to my message. Installing the MS font should guarantee you the best results. In addition, the cab that I posted includes LT 55 Roman and should work on any ROM. I originally built it to work on Dutty's roms and have used it on Miri, Dutty, Topix, and LIA.

To bob & Rob,

chinese char. still not displaying... I tried both bob's IME cab and Rob's MSYH cab (and copied the font file to windows/font).. I guess this build is missing something or the Extendir confuses the system for the location of the fonts?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] stanmak:
thanks Bob and Rob!!

However, i also cannot see any single Chinese Character at all. no matter is SMS, email or name of songs, no matter they are unicode or big5. i think the system cannot locate the font.

I don't think it has anything to do with Extendir. But since I can't read or wite Chinese I can't help much. Rob has helped a lot and maybe he can assist you.

Hey Rob I thought I would try this. I tried to put the Font in Window\Fonts but it would not copy there. I used Total Commander. So I put it in Windows. But I have the same no fonts working. I have tried the PRC and Hong Kong regional settings.

When you are running an application and you click the "X" at the bottom bar the program is not closed, only minimized.

RobRedbeard's Chinese for LIA

Here is a cab that will install Chinese on LIA. I've just tested it on my mine and everything seems to be working fine - e-mail text unicode GB2312 dialer, etc.

Please test and give me feedback.

Please note:

- This file requires at least LIA v16.1. It may work in part or whole on earlier versions, but only 16.1 should be guaranteed.

- This file does not install an international nls file, hence the need for LIA 16.1

- This file does not install an IME. I recommend A4, Dayhand.com PlumSIP, or EZInputCHS for LIA by BobsBBQ

Issue with standard Dialing

Great Rom!

I'm using v15.5 of the 21884 build. Really impressed, txt messaging is fast now (in classic mode) now that I can disable HTC. Also the battery on this seems to be great and love the PDF reader... before PDF pages used to take ages to load now it's MUCH faster- I guess the extendir and your tweaks really have made a massive difference all round.

So far only found 1 issue:

I removed the HTC dialer to default WM using the HTCtweak program found in the Entendir folder- it works but the call history/contact list in the default (non-HTC) WM dialer is invisible.

----------------------

Also found this progam that you may be interested in as it's not mentioned on the forum as I know of called 'Home Screen Customizer'. http://homescreencustomizer.spaces.live.com/default.aspx?wa=wsignin1.0&sa=415746551

It's downloadable via MS Marketplace and allows you to add/remove tabs (or lines) from the new default WM6.5 homescreen. I removed the calander tab which seemed to speed the homescreen up a bit and then I added the weather tab --- oh yea, weather on the default 6.5 homescreen --- and I love it like this. Anyways, I say this hoping you'll give this guys app a go... it really is lovely and simple.

Thanks for your help. I will change this cab in place of mine in preset installer.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] RobRedbeard:
The Ezinput that is installed by default (English) works great. XT9 works like a champ. It would be nice if there was a cab in the preset installer to disable force feedback. I'll try to dig one up. I know Dutty shipped one with his latter ROM releases.

The EZ-Input w/ CHS input doesn't work for me on 16.1. I went so far as to delete my Extendir directory, recopy it to my sd card. With my sd card out of the HD, hard reset 5 times, each time waiting 10 seconds with the battery out. Then put the SD card back in and setup. Without configuring anything beyond the default config, not installing my font cab or anything at all, installed only CHS Ezinput via the preset installer. Again, it types, English. No XT9 word prompting, and in 中 mode, just all caps English.

Bob - what would be more helpful would be to release parallel versions with and without Extendir but no other differences. It would be a great resource for debugging apps that might be affected by extendir.

Rob

PS - I'll test the new EZ CHS Repack. I knew there were font clashes, and had actually resolved it just by installing the font cab second. I think repacking the cab is a better solution. Still, A4 is great.
