[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lapy:
remove ALL the OEMs related to the keyboard (ezimput, western engine etc..). You need to include only the Bjk OEM for the keypad and all the language pack OEMs you need.

For already cooked roms the solution is in this section

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] slimag:
is it weird that i've tried this solution and ended up with only numbers input.. i've tried also adding keypad=16 to registry and still nothing..

BJK made OEMs? i do that (removig everything related) and still - it doesnt work..

i'll make a super clean rom and i'll try - maybe som other package adding something...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] lapy:
no, you have to create OEMs by the CABs. If it doesnt work try downloading a kitchen and taking OEMs from there.

Was looking into installing the hero rom on my magic

JACHeroSKI 2.7.3

looking at the good replies

anyone have any other suggestions?

something that ALL the features work without problems (wifi,bluetooth,etc) and no lag?

thanks in advance!

I used qtek on my mt3g and it looked great and ran amazing. the browser is double touch and works really well also has flash. but it killed my battery from 76% to 20 in 30 mins of use.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] dodgyal:
Have to agree, I've been using the qtek ROM for a week or so now and am loving it. Theres a bit of lag when switching between heavy duty apps ie copilot but no real show shoppers. By the looks of it though there are some interesting things happening on the dream boards that will go on our sapphires quite easily.

Until then I'm sticking with qteks swap version.

Have fun :)

Just curious I have the dreaded perfect spl that they have rooted! YAY! But that's not the point, I was wondering if it is actually necessary to root my phone to install a hero rom? If it is I have everything ready already made the gold card and all that stuff! Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] zambezy:
Yes you have to change the SPL is you want to load custom ROM.

JacHero 1.2. BT and LED's work. BUT wifi does not.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] _illmatic_:
From using CyanogenMOD, to Qteks ROM, to JACxHero 2.7.4r2. The best form my experience has been JACxHero, I know that Cyanogen isn't a hero ROM, but it is a very well known ROM that some may try. Qtecks ROM was nice, but because the SMS did not work it was no dice. JACxHero is very fast once you change your home screen up a bit, SMS works, WiFi works. They only downside, that I've experienced is that when you go to create a text message and you turn the phone sideways to type in landscape mode, the keyboard does not change. It changes for any other app and the browser, but doesn't change for messaging. So my vote will be JACxHero 2.7.4r2 :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] ElChouch:
Testing ZeroXd's port... seems very speedy and fluid...

Someone else's opinion about it ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] JiNXt3r:
Unfortunately I am having a little snag her... evil and Jacxhero just sit there and loop at the "Hero" starting screen and fatla1ty doesn't have the screen problem with the pixelization (spelling?) but the rom is incredibly slow! Qteks was nice and fast but as stated before the screen problems are too much, I guess I might wait a little while until something not so buggy comes out. Unless some one knows of something better or some other rom's that I haven't tried..... or how to fix the looping problem on evil's rom and Jacxhero? - Thanks JinX

im using MT3G, JACHero 2.7.3, works great! although, i hate how i always get the loading "htc" screen after going through too many apps or trying to change the wall paper. still with this problem, i'd say this Hero ROM is the best. ive tried (evil Hero, Drizzy V3, and ZeroXd)... they all had major lag. or maybe its just me. lol.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pphengsykeo:
I too have tried different ROMs and the latest one I've flashed is Drizzy's Hero-V1.2r1 [09/09/2009]. It has been 2 days of use and I am really liking it. It is clean and apps have worked well. I think there is a v1.3 coming soon so look out for that one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] teleknEsis:
My two favorites right now are Modaco 1.5 and Evil Hero 2.3xx. IMO Modaco is a little bit quicker/smoother with Sense UI but since Evil is sporting BFS the responsiveness of some of the apps is MUCH better.

Currently I'm running Evil but I literally just flashed it 2 hours ago so I'm still playing around with it / testing it. I also just got my class 6 sd card in the mail so I'm about to partition that bad boy and reinstall a Rom. Can't decide if I want to try Modaco or Evil first...

Oh joy. Now that HSPL is approaching and there is even a great-looking 6.5 ROM in the offing life is beginning to have meaning again (how sad that sounds).

Could anyone tell me what the situation with keyboard drivers on Rhodium is? While I absolutely want an English OS I would hate to loose my Scandinavian "ÅÄÖ" characters on the HW keyboard. On the Kaiser there was a small driver that had to be nstalled each time I got a new ROM. I'm guessing it will be the same for Rhodium? Is anyone with more IT competence than me (=anyone :confused:) given this any thought at all?

please note, that layout is different, i had this problem with touch pro first version, i had to use some addons created to have the layout for finnish

version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
You just need to change the layout as execine said. Sometimes you have to add the layout if a prebuilt one does not exist. I am sure it can be ripped from an official rom for your country of origin.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] test157:
well if really WM sucks in this area, I need at least 2 languages - and layout changing will not help at this situtation - because these languages have totally different chars.

why it's so hard for microsoft to make ADD KEYBOARD like it's done in windows XP?

lol it's version 6.5, how much more releases they have to done - just before they'll do this pretty simple feature?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
It actually does exist. My sisters old Wing had it. Talk to aserg and ask him how he did it. I don't know. He had a way to use 2 different hardware keyboard layouts by hitting a softkey.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] test157:
yes, it exist. e.g. at rhodium russian edition there are special button even at hardware keyboard, to change layouts. but if you want to use it at your locale you need to hack it. becuase there is no easy way to activate it on another rom. all others solutions mostly works for virtual keyboard - and this way you'll get new visual design - what I don't want to do, and others just for hw keyboards - what is not ideal either

Except my sisters device was an US device....

This thread has a hardware keyboard mapping utility. You can even have it run at startup. All that needs to be done is to create a custom layout file for the Scandinavian TP2.

Fix for Backgrounds of Titanium/Start menu in 6.5.1 Builds. Double the Top="-#" for the background in the Titanium/StartMenu_Global CPR's. Example = Top="-52" for QVGA. This will fix the alignment of the background image with the transparent Task/SoftKey Bars.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Best thing is to take this TSK & edited as needed. Just change color registries as described above & replace stwaters. Open with WinCE CAB Manager to edit. If you have custom images for bars/menu/etc that don't use same filename, edit the file names in the image registries as well.

I did the samething but again after testing on device, the background goes gray.

Anyways, I have attached the theme. Please checkout and if possible solve the issue. :o
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Try this one. You were missing a whole Registry Directory.

HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today\Touch HD 6.5.tsk

EDIT: Missed a registry, add;

HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today

Skin = \windows\Touch HD 6.5.tsk
[Windows Mobile Software Development] CRACING:
Ok, but still same. ( Gray background ).

However, I found an another trick.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE]

Contains theme color ( "SysColor" ). As you said in first post. I changed the color ( dedede to ffffff ) and now there is no gray background. :)

What if I add this reg key to the theme itself?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Might as well try it. Not sure wtf the value came from lol

Edit: Weird, never noticed that value & no clue wth it's even there. I have 2 Binaries in that directory.

SysColor = E9C9CB0000000000D3375600D58D9B00FFFFFF00FFFFFF00000000007F0C0F0033070800E9C9CA0099001E00BFBFBF00FFFFFF00ED1C2400FFFFFF00E9C9D0007F7F7F009999990033070800E9C9CA00FFFFFF0000000000FFFFFF0000000000EDEDED00FFFFFF0033070800F4517200BFBFBF00

Hahaha, works prefect!

I just changed all the de,de,de rgb entries to ff,ff,ff in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE] -> SysColor and placed into the tsk.

Finally solved..... :)

Edit; The DefSysColor entry doesn't change when the theme is changed. Just the SysColor. I guess this color values are created here too (SysColor) taken from theme.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] ai6908:
I use old school using ini and drag and drop on cabwiz!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I never had WinCE CAB Manager break a TSK. I been doing it this way since April without issue. It's either that SysColor Registry or you tried adding your new menu/bars/etc images to the TSK. The images can NOT be inside the TSK. It should only have the stwaters(tdywaters). Make a CAB & put the rest of the images & TSK in that for installing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] CRACING:
Tried everything. Mine TSK doesn't contain any image files except stwaters. WinCE CAB Manager never given troubles for me too but on this new 23028!

I'm using the same theme from many days and it worked fine on all builds but from 23022 its giving trouble. :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Upload it again, let me see what it looks like now.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] CRACING:
I guess I got it. :)

I removed :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Color\MultiColorTheme]

"BaseColor1"=dword:00000000

"BaseColor2"=dword:00ffffff

"BaseColor3"=dword:00000000

"BaseColor4"=dword:00ffffff

From the theme and got rid of gray background.

ai6908 said this in ppcgeeks thread. Here.... :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
So, it turns out that ThemeValue from

HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Color

is actually a combination of 2 other registry value or should I say that it & the BaseColors (1-4) make them.

HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Color , SHColor

HKLM:System\GWE , SysColor

If you take both value & put them together you get the same number of digits. I'll upload a Excel File shortly of every color I have enter. Also, making sure all FF,FF,FF,00 Values are in ThemeValue & the Corresponding in ThemeColor is 01,00,00,00 will insure you get no grey backgrounds.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Updated first post with new example files. This is a 100% working method. Read & Compare my Example to yours carefully if it does not work for you, you did something wrong. I tested this thoroughly, by this I mean being up all night working on this for over 8 hrs to get it right...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jmckeejr:
I could use some serious help here :o I followed the speadsheet and changed the values in Yellow to try and remove the grey BG in setting items, but I think I got an "F" on taskmaking :( Also, my images for stwater and tdwater do not show up, instead I get the classic blue images.

Now when I build and flash a ROM, I usually have the Theme preset and I replace the stwater and tdwater in SYS with mine from theme package which works. I also install some reg entries to fix the grey at boot. Its all good until I change themes and then change back. Then I get wrong images and the grey :( Any chance you can help me out? I will attatch my theme, which is Classic Black modified for my ROM. I did not include any of my other images like Pivot or Toolbar, let me know if they are needed.

EDIT:

Fixed the stwater issue. It was wrong DPI set in registry. I will continue work on the greyness.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You're not supposed to change the Yellow Values. They are the White colors. As long as they are FF,FF,FF,00 & the corresponding in ThemeColors is 01,00,00,00, you'll have white, not grey. The Black & Red values do nothing. the only values to change are the different "RED" colors. Those effect the rest of the theme that is NOT white.

EDIT: Also, all Themes need to have these changes, not just one. The problem is most Themes are screwed up missing registry values or what not. To fix those theme without any other editing. Add the FF,FF,FF,00 Values from the spreadsheet to ThemeValues & the 01,00,00,00 from the spread that corresponds to those White color codes to the ThemeColor registry. This "should" remove the grey as it'll overwrite any hidden Gray Value with White. Secondly, the Grey in General is probably coming from;

HKLM:System\GWE , DefSysColor. It's a security backup. If the TSK is broken it'll load that into SysColor, which is the last say 30% of the ThemeValues entry.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jmckeejr:
Thanks, I'll take another look. Appears my reg entries were not applied correctly anyway. I exported that part and edited it, then imported but there was something screwy.

EDIT: By yellow, I mean yellow on speadsheet. Is this still not correct? Or I need to change the values in white boxes in spreadsheet?

EDIT2: Attatched the reg entries I am working with
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Check my edit on the above. I'm going to check the colors in that Registry & add an extra Spreadsheet screenshot for it. That should help fix all themes if I am right.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Yellow in the Spread sheet, only editing you should do is make sure what is Yellow in in your TSK's Reg. No changing FF,FF,FF,00 to anything else. Just a straight copy.
