I would like a Portuguese-Brazilian keyboard layout. See file attached... This file works in every Rom except yours.

Also, if I may ask, a Portuguese dictionary...

Thank you.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
This file don't be work in my rom because in my rom is over structure of this files and over names of it:). I'm attached my English file. I haven't Portuguese dictionary, sorry:(
[HTC Excalibur] xciton:
My mistake. I was originally doing

FN SPACE

Instead of

FN(hold) SPACE

There is a difference.

Thank you!
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
I will try to modify this file to match my keyboard. Also, I´ll try to install 3vo language pack from Ookba in your rom.

I´ll let you know if it works.

Regards
[HTC Excalibur] xciton:
Couple of things I've discovered.

1) I've enabled date format YYYY-MM-DD. In the top home screen bar, the WiFi status text now overlaps with the date filed. Example:

2009-08-XXXi-Fi: Connecting

Perhaps the small text next to the clock needs to be three lines?

Monday

2009-08-17

WiFi: Connecting

2) I can't seem to download opera mini (http://mini.opera.com) from Pocket IE. The page shows up, but when you hit the link "Download Opera Mini!" The page just loops back onto it self. Not sure if this is a opera html issue, but I was able to do this on another rom.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
About date & time- i can change the font size or try to make 3 lines. I make it later. About opera link- over links worked or no? If not- i be cheked it, but if its opera page issue i can't make nothing :).
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I make full cab with Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Turkish and of course Russian langs:). I can upload it later:).
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
In attach file SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr- there is changed date&time panel. Now wi-fi replased to 3-rd line. Just replase it with your file in windows folder:)
[HTC Excalibur] xciton:
Other links work.

Might I suggest it has something to do with the .jar or .jad filename extension for the java download? I"m pretty sure this worked with other versions of PIE.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I think mb its problems of IE? Install opera or opera mini & download files. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] xciton:
Yes, thank you. That works.

The space for the name is little short (it cuts off the WiFi name). I changed with width parameter from 80 to 160 and it fits now without cutting it off.
[HTC Excalibur] SugarMouth:
Very Nice! I am happy with your cooking! Can you make all screens on a 12hr clock? Also, can you make the USA symbols on long press work?

Thanks!! :)
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
With 12-hr its seems something like this. About USA symbols- tell me that you want. If you can- make txt with letters of keyboard- symbols that you wanna at long press (e.g. A-@) and i make it specialy for you:).
[HTC Excalibur] SugarMouth:
Yes you are showing it correct on the 12hr clock. And yes you have it right, long press J and get @ or long press M and get ! Its what is on our USA Tmobile DASH keyboard and saves having to go into symbols. :):):)
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Long press N you can get @, long press Q you can get ! ;). If you dont like this i can change it. Or if you can send me a photo of your keyboard & i make correctly TMO keyboard mapping file.
[HTC Excalibur] SugarMouth:
That works, I'll try that. I rebooted and the clock is now on 12hr on all screens :) Not sure what happened but before the home screen was 12hr and all others were 24hr. Now I have all at 12hr :)

I appreciate all your work, this ROM is my favorite by far! Great Job!
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Thx, bruv :). Thats about keyboard mapping file? Do you need it or no?
[HTC Excalibur] fsxpilot:
You saved my phone. I have had my new Dash Black WM 6.0 For about 3 months now and have been very disappointed with it. Your ROM fixed every problem I was having. Well done! Thank you
[HTC Excalibur] SugarMouth:
If you can get these long press characters, you will have a fantastic USA ROM!

:D
[HTC Excalibur] SugarMouth:
Few things you can help me with:

One is how do I get weather to work?

And how do I set up my email accounts? Does not seem to work?

Also am i missing something or is there no way to set a new homepage?

Thanks
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
1. HTC weather worked only with HTC Slibing panels. Now i try add it to over panels. Also i make Titanum panels :)

2. email setup worked fine with my accounts- yandex, rambler. I dont try with over

3. you can setup it- just install cab (if you about homescreen). if you about homepage IE- its set at registry. i dont know over way :)
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Any idea if the htc sliding panels cab created by ookba could work with this Rom? Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Just try it. I don't install it- i have my own HTCSlidingPanels.
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Nice..your version works 100% :D
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Fantastic ROM AlekSS...wonderful job;)...just installed your rom and I am amazed.

I will be posting more comments as I will be using it more intensively.

So far is just...GREAT!

one petition...could you post a .cab to solve the keyboard mapping..I mean, the english one included is for uk keyboard layout, but I need the american keyboard layout, just like the picture of previous post...thanks again!!
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I saw your previous post- today i think i make it & upload it for you. I think you dont need the uk keyboard layout?
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
USA keyboard file

Specialy for gethsemani & over american users of my ROM i make a TMO USA keyboard file. Just replace this file with file in windows folder. Use your own language:D.
[HTC Excalibur] mprapoza58:
im lovin your snap ROM :) but when im writing a message and wantin to put a exclamation mark it puts an equal sign....how do i fix that?
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Its english keyboard, but as i think you need usa keymapping file which placed by one post before. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Thank you alekSS for the file..anyway here is the cab that fix the us keyboard mapping issue..it works like a champ, just install that .cab, reboot and problem fixed for all us keyboard users.

I really think this rom is gold, but I would like to comment some "issues" just to help to get this rom even better :)

-Sometimes, when I try to launch wifi manager from sliding panel it does not respond...I should enter to start menu and hit comm manager from there.

-I would like to be able to have more color schemes to replace the flat black softkeys bars other than guava and windows mobile green...just my personal taste.

Im encouraging users to try this awesome, fast rom from our friend AlekSS..

if I found more things to improve I will be posting them.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
How good is the battery life? Under previous version (core 23004) it lasts 2 days and a half (for me). Using standard stock battery.

Regards.
[HTC Excalibur] qaplus:
Is there a way I can use the standard icons? The square ones make selected one less noticeable.

Great ROM otherwise!
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
I will be checking battery life today and I will be posting my impressions...what a nice rom!!
[HTC Excalibur] mprapoza58:
i tried that but it didn work
[HTC Excalibur] mprapoza58:
woah idk what happened i was goin to upgrade to your new wm 6.5 and it said this concludes the beta test of this software and in wont sync to the computer now :mad:
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
If you can get into the settings turn the date back in time if not flash stock ROM via bootloader.
[HTC Excalibur] mprapoza58:
it wouldn hook up to the computer but i did a hard reset and that worked
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I think its bug with Commanager. I'll see it.

I try to make over schemes & later upload it.

Yes, soon i make a cab for you.

I don't understand thats this.:( Try to flash one more time.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Also today i make a Titanum Panels for my ROM & fixed bug with HTCWeather- now its worked with all panels. :)
[HTC Excalibur] mprapoza58:
how do i put the english keyboard for the wm 6.5 (23017 ver 2.0)? :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Just install the cab I have referred in post 54; reboot and then alt+space on any text field and you should get correct us keyboard mapping. Hope this help
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I'm attached cab with original icons.

Or take my cab in 1-st post, install it & reboot.
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Thanks alekSS for the original icon`s cab...waiting for more improvements, as this rom is just..GREAT.

As for the problem to launch wifi manager from sliding panel...I´ve found exactly when the bug occurs...is when you launch the wifi manager from the sliding panel, then close it, let´s say with celetask, and then you will never get able to launch it again unless you reboot the phone..hope this can help you to fix this small issue...
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Also, I need to confirm with anybody else using this rom but in my case USBtoPC is not working.....glad to hear your comments..
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Let see: if i right understand you- you run Wireless Manager from Sliding panels, close process WrlsMgr in CeleTask, after that Wireless Manager not work? Hmmm, i try to do it some times- all time Wireless Manager started. But if you close Comm Manager in Cele Task tasks its not be worked while you dont close WrlsMgr process. Its not bug- its NOT CORRECT CLOSING!!!

For me USBtoPC worked fine.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
This is a very old annoyance I have ever since WM 6.1 Kavana Remade by Ricky... I don´t think it has a solution.

This is something that really bothers me, and I found no solution at all at that time.

It appears that all roms except NRG´s got this problem.

Regards.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I think i solved this problem one post before. Just some programms freezed then you just close task & don't close process. Try to close task Internet Sharing (not process- just task) & try to run Internet Sharing. You can't run it ;).
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Maybe I´m doing something wrong...just selected "Disk Drive" option, hook to the pc but nothing happens...no external disk or something like that..what Am I doing wrong? :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Hmmm, Disk Drive don't work :(. I try to find newest version or del it from next versions of my roms.
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
AlekSS, maybe you can borrow it from Ookba ;)...in his ROM USBtoPC works ok.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I asked him- he used same version as me :(
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
Mmmmm...that´s really strange...

By the way, don´t forget about the change of flat black softkeys..would like other color than black...that will be amazing :D

The rom is wonderful as more as I use it...great battery life too!
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I've tried to add standard color maps. It looks... not so well :D
[HTC Excalibur] Lukifer:
Problems..

I am trying your rom, works nice so far.. character map for us works fine, except when I go to type in a website address in opera mini.. the number keys work odd... 1 switches between a bunch of characters . / etc.. 2 does abc, 3 does def, 4 does ghi, etc. any fix for this? By the way, it works normal in pocket internet explorer.
[HTC Excalibur] Lukifer:
fixed my problem.

Found a spot on the forums here where another guy had the same problem. Apparently Opera Mini's auto-complete address input feature causes it somehow. Don't get how, but went into Opera's settings and disabled it. problem fixed.
[HTC Excalibur] thegreenfamily04:
Runs GREAT !!!!

Thanks For the Update !

Is There Any way to get the "MyFaves" Menu On there ? Or did I just miss how to do it ?

Thanks Once again !!

Troy. :)
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I try to do it tomorrow.
[HTC Excalibur] pampanya:
it spent alot of my battery...but any way,thank you alot:)

Missing Portuguese Dictionary

Hello, AlekSS.

Here is the keyboard Map File for Brazilian Excalibur (S621).

However, I´m missing a Portuguese Dictionary. None of the ones I found worked under your Rom. Could you please help me with this issue?

Regards
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
And thats a problemm? You need Brazilian or Portuguese file?
[HTC Excalibur] tmrhodes:
Voice command?

I love your ROM and greatly appreciate it, but what happened to Microsoft Voice Command?
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
And what happened with this?
[HTC Excalibur] tmrhodes:
what happened

When I had 6.0 and 6.1 they had the voice command on it. But the 6.5 seems to have the old voice tags. I was wondering why. And once again, you did a great job on this, thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I think therefore i didn't include it.;) Thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
I never saw a brazilian dictionary available around in Excalibur, only Portuguese. And the ones that work in other ROM´s (portuguese) also works pretty well for Brazilian language.

Here in Brasil we have special symbols we use very often, like "ã", "é", and it is hard to type a SMS or an E-mail if the dictionary is not working properly, because it helps a lot.

Otherwise, I would have to use the camera/sym key very often to get those symbols and it´s a pain in the neck... here are some examples and their meanings...

Não - Means NO

Atenção - Means Attention

Abraço - Means Hug

Não faça isso! - Means Don´t do that

Reunião - Means Meeting

É sim - Means yes, it is

Não é não? - Means Isn´t it?

Te encontro lá - Means See you there.

Ajudá-la - Means Help her

Ajudá-lo - Means Help Him

Gravação - Means recording

So... It is REALLY A PROBLEM not having a working dictionary in portuguese.

If you could help...

Thank you.

Regards
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Ok, I can make it, but the Portuguese kmap is necessary for me or simply the list button-symbol. You can make this list with additional buttons as you want.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
I think I was misunderstood. I apologize for that.

I don´t have problems with the keyboard layout. It is now working properly with the changes I made in the KMAP file and that is attached 2 posts above (posts from me) for other brazilian people who might need it.

My problem is that there is no Portuguese dictionary when you press FN+SPACE to change language. That is my problem.

Did I make myself clear now? Again, I apologize for the misunderstanding.

Thanks, AleKSS. Your help is very valuable.

Regards
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
You make Portuguesse keyboard from english file:). You can make some changes to regystry and your lang will be showing, but its dont be worked. Also you haven't library as i think (i see- i havent it too :( ), therefore portuguese dictionary didn't work(as i think). You can just typing with abc mode. Correct me if i mistake.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Abc mode doesn´t work. I mean, it works, but not for typing. I still have to use the sym/camera key.

So... there is no solution? No Portuguese dictionary?

Regards
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
No, sorry, i haven't it. Today i will see that i can make for you.
[HTC Excalibur] gethsemani:
USB to PC

AlexSS, any news regarding the USB to PC not working? :o
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Ok, today i found required library & made Portuguese keyboard update for brazilian people who need it.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
I'm not with my Excalibur right now (It's charging), but I'll test it @ night and I'll report back ASAP.

Thank you, AlekSS!

[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Not at all bruv. Glad to help. ;)

[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
For connecting with your PC goto Settings->Connections->USB to PC & uncheck checkbox Enable advanced network functionality. For changing bootsplash just search the forum.
[HTC Excalibur] jdogle:
Hello,

I need help with the English keyboard as well. I tried what is sais for you to do but I cant get my phone to give me the option.

I can not get the number keys to swith to letters when I need them. I have loaded the eglish file but still no luck.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
What happened with the English keyboard? For me (and over users of my ROM i mean) its worked fine. Do you change the registry or some files?
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Hi, AlekSS.

I´m back after a few days off to report back about portuguese keyboard layout and portuguese dictionary.

The portuguese keyboard layout modified by me works well on your rom. The dictionary provided by you DOES NOT.

In the other Rom´s, when I select PORTUGUESE and try to type a single vowel like "a", the dictionary suggests me to use “a à á â ã”. This is not happening with your portuguese CAB provided, so, I still have to use the Camera/Sym key. Same with the word não, wich means NO

Also, when you´re typing, you can´t use the center button like an OK to autocomplete.

For example, try it yourself... in any text field, type "auto". You´ll notice that the dictionary is suggesting you to use "auto automation automatic". Scroll to the right to choose AUTOMATION. Then, you should press the CENTER button to accept the word AUTOMATION (this is default behavior in ALL ROM´S for Excalibur). It doesn´t work. In your rom, you have to press SPACE to accept it.

So... I still have keyboard issues with your rom. May I suggest you take a look @ the cab attached? It works perfectly in some 6.1 and 6.5 rom (yours included, older version), but not on yours (current version).

Also, may I suggest you to set the #A key to turn to vibrate mode on long press?

Thank you for your help.

Regards.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Ok, make that: backup your original HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic and delete this registry key with all subkeys. Reboot device and install other eT9 lang pack.
[HTC Excalibur] knight021730:
English keyboard issues

Hi, I've got the English keyboard working...There are some keys that are messed up though...& maps to @ as well as a few others...

Any ideas?
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Just give me a file of the keyboard and the list of problems. I shall try them to correct. Though on mine ROM English works without problems.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Ok, Lets start with the basics... where in your rom is an App to do mess with the registry? I can´t see anyone built in your rom.

_______________________________

Edit: Ok... My friend Google told me that PHM Registry Editor is the man. That said, I did what you said, but now things are messed up... My keyboard doesn´t work anymore, no matter what language pack I install. I found many on the web, but none of them worked... I can´t select language with FN+SPACE or with FN(long press)+SPACE.

My keyboard is messed up too... the keys are not acting as they were supposed to. The CAPS, FN and other several keys are not working. The numeric keypad behaves as it, a numerical keypad only. I can´t type any letter printed in the numeric keypad.

I know that a hard reset or clear storage fixes it, but this is not what I want. Why is so hard to make a working portuguese dictionary? If I have skills, I would make one myself.

Any Ideas?

I apreciate your efforts, but If you have nothing to do for me, let me know, and I´ll find another ROM. I can´t be without a portuguese dictionary.

I know you are not Ookba, but in the moment I brought this problem to him (this very same problem) he solved in a snap! No offenses at all AlekSS, your Rom is very, very, very good, It´s fast, it´s simple, it´s responsive and I couldn´t find anything wrong. But I can´t live without a working portuguese (or brazilian) dictionary in it. I´m used to type a lot in Excalibur.

Thank you.

Regards.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Resco Explorer->Menu->Favorites->My Registry ;)
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
I was editing as you answered. Thank you for pointing me to a registry editor. Can you read the rest of the post, please?
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Ok, tomorrow i'll be at home & upload 20 langs cab for you. I make it so long time... I'm trying to install it and it's worked fine in this version.
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Thank you so much!

I´m waiting.

Regards!
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Ok, lets see follow screens:

If you like it- lets make few steps:

1. Open Resco Explorer->Menu->Favorites->My registry

2. Delete key HKLM/Software/tegic with all subkeys!!!

3. Reboot!!!

4. Install attached file

5. Reboot!!!

Enjoy ;)

P.S. This is Por-Eng Update. As i think you dont need Russian :D
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
THAT´S WHAT I´M TALKING ABOUT!!!!

THANK YOU VERY, VERY, VERY (did I say VERY?) MUCH!!! I´ll test your rom from the bottom to the top, I´ll turn it upside down and I´ll report later, but, NOW it works!!!!

Let me start the report by telling you that this CAB provided also fixes the keyboard layout. There is no need to replace the Kmap TXT file with the one I created.

Thank you for your attention (now I can say "atenção" :D)! Thanks for your patience (Paciência)! And Thank you again for everything! It is good to count on people like you.

Regards!
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Yes, i know it. Thx for this message. As said one good man-"A happy user = A happy chef" :D
[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Keyboard problems... again!

Hello, AleKSS..

After a few days of use, I have to say that there are some good, some bad...

The goods:

* It´s fast and responsive. Real fast... It´s almost like running WM6.1

* Your start menu icons are pretty much more visible than Ookba´s and different from the original icons (the ones in WM6.0 or WM6.1), it makes out of boredom.

* Boot screen does not produce any sound during the boot process. And let´s be honest... they´re much better than the Fire ones...

* When you´re typing, you can use the center button like an OK to autocomplete. This behavior happened after installation of the PT-BR cab provided by you.

The bads:

* After installing your PT-BR/EN-US language pack the way you told so, I can´t use CAPITAL letters ANYWHERE in any field or SMS, Email, notepad.. anywhere.

* I think you are well aware of it: USB to PC does not seem to be working. WM5Torage (not included in your rom) works well.

* I can´t install any Java app (game or application) by clicking on a .JAR file from Resco Explorer. Can´t install Opera Mini either. Problem was solved by installing JBEDROSE.CAB

* I know you must be aware of it, and I´m sorry because you have nothing to do with it, but.. Opera mini gets much better if you use the tahoma font in \Windows dir.

That´s all I could find so far.

Can you do something about the keyboard issue?

Regards.
[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
I know. I make it myself.

:)

I'll be see it.

[/QUOTE]

I'll try to fix this issues. Thx.:)

[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Any news about the keyboard issue?

Let me tell you that battery life running your ROM is GREAT!

Thanks

Thank You.

[HTC Excalibur] AlekSS-881980:
Of course i'll see it. I think i'll see it at next week. Please wait... :)
[HTC Excalibur] rafaelgsm:
Is possible extract opera mini from 3vo rom for install in alekss wm6.5 rom???

[HTC Excalibur] joeskull:
Why do that? Why have such work? Download it from opera site...

Or if you want the signed version in PIE type mini.opera choose the if this version does not work, then choose the top version multi signed, on install tick to always allow connection, then wont get prompted if want to connect all the time.

Hey Alekss is wifi working with this rom because when i go to connection status it says the driver is not loaded.
