Couldn't grip the text from the form editor - can move it around, but can't select it.

Can't find out how to see the file in HEX editor mode - this stuff is quite new to me...

The best idea I had was use OCR software to extract the text from a screenshot of the form. Abbyy Fine Reader 9 advertises Japanese/Chinese support but the copy I found doesn't have Japanese in its list of languages... so, I am stuck here, unless you can remember that program;s name :)

Little progress

I am having very little progress here...

I started editing the "ShPowerMng.cpl" file by looking at my other device and comparing tabs and options. And so I translated two screens. However, when I upload the file to the device, only the tab names are in English, while the other stuff I translated is still in Japanese :confused:

Tried resetting the device... no change.

When I copy back the ShPowerMng.cpl file from the device to the PC - checking if the file was successfully overwritten - it is translated, but why doesn't it show the English text?
[General Topics] the-equinoxe:
Could be that the cpl has a separate "strings" section in the resources, or that the ROM also contains a ShPowerMng.cpl.04**.MUI file (not sure that cpl files can have a mui).

Regards,

EqX
[General Topics] stepw:
Excellent point, .mui seems to be supported for .cpl's too. If there's a native mui file, this is where the resources should be translated. If there's none, it could be created for ease of translation, then you won't have to patch up .cpl's.

More details regarding MUI on Windows CE/Mobile are avaiable on MSDN:

Most resource editors don't support unicode string resources properly, hence Japanese characters are replaced with question marks. MS Visual Studio resource editors may be able to handle them properly. Another freeware that claims proper unicode support is XN resource viewer, maybe you could get the chars displayed properly using it.
[General Topics] cheeseus:
XN Resource Editor saves the day!

However, because it returns save error for some of the files (write protected), I open the resource in it, copy the caption text in Japanese, paste in Google Translate, take the text and paste it inside the corresponding box in PE Explorer because it has no problem saving the file.

I have made significant progress this way, THANK YOU!

There are still some unknown problems:

- on the Power Management file (ShPowerMng.cpl), everything is translated but only the title and the tab captions are shown in English - the rest is still displayed in Japanese.

- on the Utilities file (shutil.cpl) - again everything is translated, but this time the tab captions are shown in Japanese, while the tab texts are all in English.

- on the USB connection manager (ShUsbCnt.cpl) the situation is as in the Power Management - tab names are in English, texts are in Japanese.

- the ShSystemInfo.cpl file is fully translated but I cannot see its contents in Settings - when I tap "S01SH Firmware", which is this file, I see only one page with some text that I could not see while editing, while the texts I edited are hidden. The text I can see is about the firmware version - 1.05a (upgraded from 1.00) - in Japanese, and the texts I cannot see contain: "Firmware version 0.00 / NAND ver.: / NOR ver.:" and over 10 other screens with texts that I presume are various warning messages displayed by the system, e.g. "An invalid argument was encountered."

Thanks for the help, guys! I hope that I can finish the job...

Some strings, for instance tab captions and window titles may be dynamic and the strings could be manipulated in code. In this case you won't be able to find them in the resource sections.
[General Topics] Alexx~:
Use Sisulizer, it correctly displays all the languages, including Japanese
[General Topics] cheeseus:
the big question

So, what I am still struggling to grasp is, where exactly are the texts written?

stepw says: "Some strings, for instance tab captions and window titles may be dynamic and the strings could be manipulated in code. In this case you won't be able to find them in the resource sections." --- does this then mean that the texts, written inside the CPL file are just there for no reason:

[above is the resource being edited, below is a screenshot of the resource displayed - tab names are in English, the rest is not displayed...]

Maybe these texts are also written in some other file and when the two files are loaded, the first one has greater weight than the CPL?

I also tried, following your advice to try creating a MUI file - in Windows directory there is also a "ShPowerMng.cpl.409.mui" file but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Maybe there is some other file I need to edit as well?

PS. I realize this thread has changed its original topic - the tool to edit CPL files - but I don't want to start a new thread for something which very few people would be interested in.

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

PSPS. Looking at this thread, I see that the following are displayed from "cplmain.cpl":

Settings>System>Backlight>Brightness = 20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,6

Settings>System>Backlight>Battery power= 20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,6,1

Settings>System>Backlight>External power = 20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,6,2

Unfortunately, this is the only CPL file that I can't copy from my device - I get "cannot copy" in total commander and "access denied" in activesync. Any idea how I can cheat this?
[General Topics] kel187:
try it with ROM Extractor 1.0. with that tool you can copy "non-copyable" files from device to storage card, and from there to your computer (via active sync). you'll have to do these steps on your device off course ;-)

see you
[General Topics] cheeseus:
Thanks! ROM Extractor did manage to copy cplmain.cpl but it cannot be edited - ResHack and XN Resource Editor won't open it, while PE Editor opens it but gives a warning of some errors ("Erros detected! File opened in Safe Mode."). Still, the Resources are not viewable (View > Resources is grey) so even if there is text that should be edited in there I cannot get to it.

So, maybe I am looking in the wrong direction?

Yesterday I managed to completely edit another one of the CPLs, Pointing.cpl, which deals with the pointing device on my S01SH - I still have to fix the sizes of a couple of text boxes because some text is cut off but that isn't difficult.

Where else should I be looking for stuff to edit/translate?

I watched the demo and couldn't understand what it was about. Monitor different locations weather and other security alerts? I also couldn't pay attention long enough to see how it integrated with your mobile phone.
[General Topics] crissg:
Still learning about it myself

From what I've seen it provides a way to send a message to defined groups. Emergency contacts is the one that is prebuilt. You send one message and it goes to everyone in the group. The news thing looks like a way to keep up with info that might affect family/friends who live way from you.

It is a desktop app, but if you activate your phone, you can send and recieve alerts from the system via sms.

I'm sending feedback that I'd like to see a dedicated mobile app.

Hey folks - just got the Telus TP2. Wow. In geek heaven after TP1, and 6700. Big iFinger to the iTards. Anyway, the only glitch I've come across (so far) is that the Menu Enhancement seems to give out and revert to the standard menu system - albeit much bigger and fairly finger-friendly. Not really a useability issue as both are pretty easy, but just kinda annoying as its a bit of flakiness.

Anyone else? Any specific cause/application?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Haven't experienced that yet. On the T-Mobile version though. It's probably some program you installed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] harryprog:
Hi there,

Can anyone help me solve this problem:

Ik have a Sony car radio with a BT hands free function (MEX-BT2500) in my car. When I make a call, the radio stops and I can speak hands free, hearing the conversation on the car-speakers. All nice, like it should be.

Problem is when I receive a call. The radio stops and I hear a ringtone (not my phone-tone though :confused:). When I awnser the call, the caller can hear me, but I can't hear him, unless I take the phone in my hand and put it on my ear. The sound doesn't come through the car-speakers. So an incoming call can't be awnsered handsfree.

With my former phone (nokia 6230), it was no problem. Anyone knows how to solve this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] todd69:
If it was the same as my problem, turn up the volume on the phone :p

My phone was the exact same, for some reason when it connected it was turning the volume right down!

Hope yours as as simple :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] harryprog:
Unfortunately my problem is not that simple. I got an incoming call yesterday when I was driving, but again no sound. When I called back, there were no problems. Does anyone else have a solution?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] toth42:
Well, I don't have the Sony-stereo, but I've got a Pioneer with BT. I have bumped into several issues with it, and the solution is the same every time:

-first, if you have a settings-option called something like "reset BT-memory", try that one, and pair phone again.

-If that doesn't work, next step is full reset of the stereo, meaning you pull it out and disconnect the power. Then plug it back in, and re-pair phone.

This at least did the trick for me, now voice-dial works perfectly, and I even have "BT Audio", meaning I can play my Topaz' music on my carstereo without hassle.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] todd69:
Could also be something else simple, you are using the stereo to answer and not the handset?

If I answer using the phone with my stereo then I get the same issue as you, answer using the stereo and all is well :)

I am trying to get my Hero to connect with my Lexus RX400h's bluetooth car-kit. I can pair the Hero with the car but it will not reconnect. Is there a way to authorize the Hero to alway reconnect without having to re-pair?

I'll add the Range Rover Sport to the list of cars with bluetooth issues.

Worked fine with my Diamond and Touch HD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Biffert:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
What model year is your RRS ? My MY08 D3 works fine with the Hero... contact list navigation is far better than my 'old' Nokia N85. If your RRS is pre MY2008 there is an ECU update for the Bluetooth PTI I believe.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] vlad69uk:
I'll add a Jaguar XF to the list. Hero will pair ok, then it will disconnect. it will disconnect a few times before it settles down. Whenever it tries to auto-connect, it will disconnect 2 or three times before it stays connected. sometimes it wont connect at all, a quick disable, then re-enable of bluetooh on the hero then gets it to connect again.

Didnt have any problems with any BlackBerry's, Touch Diamond, Nokia e52. Looks like we're waiting on Google for a fix. I wonder if their continual beta policy applies to updates as well as full blown applications?

Let your car do the pairing

Turn bluetooth on your phone and let your car discover and pair with the phone. Your carkit will suggest the passcode enter it in you phone and not the other way arround. That might work, It did for my Porshe.

How do you transfer bluetooth contacts??

Hi. I have my bluetooth car kit working fine, it is with a pioneer head unit. At first i would have to manually connect it, as the phone can only be made visible fo 120 seconds. Hoever after doing this 5 or 6 times, it then automatically conected every time. Just keep trying and see if it eventually does it.

Also.... How do you transfer your contacts lists to the bluetooth device?? I cannot find anyway!! please help!!

No Go on the Mazda 3

just bought a 2010 Mazda 3 sport and the bluetooth does not work with hero.

it pairs with the phone and then occasionally connects. however when you dial a number by voice or keypad the system in the car locks up completely for about 4 mins. tried other phones and works perfect.

Strange thing is it did work once for a day but then went all haywire after that.

would rooting the phone and installing a different rom open up the bluetooth any more so it can communicate better.

Dont want to get rid of the phone but unless i can find a remedy im gonna have to get a different phone.

Sorted

Well ive sorted th bluetooth problem.

once paired as long as i dont turn off bluetooth on the phone then it connects / reconnects just fine. if i do turn bluetooth profile off then when pairing i need to make phone visible before i get in the car and it picks it up again.

sorted.

2010 Mazda 3 and HTC Hero Bluetooth

Have the exact same problem as Wingy999 and if I leave the bluetooth switched on on the phone I have no problem.

But if I do switch it off/restart the phone, even if I make the phone visible when I get in the car, it does not connect and I have to delete and repair the phone to the car.

Can you help wingy999?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wingy999:
Yes/No

Well its a case of Yes it is and No it isnt.

Sometimes, for a few days i have no problems with phone. Then for no reason it decides to connect (picture of the phone on dash) but it cant communicate with the car. So when you dial it just hangs the system.

Got sick of pairing it to be honest so have left it for now. i wondering if rooting the phone might be a way forward.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dom2114:
yeah, no clue if rooting will help, but im def waiting for it to be possible. lots of cool things that can be done.

the bluetooth problem is to do with the android bluetooth api itself from what i understand. google haven't figured it out entirely yet and so only released it with basic functionality. even once modders are able to get inside the cdma hero, i dont think they can get at the low level bluetooth functionality and make changes. I could be wrong, but if it were the case, we'd see things like obex object transfer available on the GSM Hero's already.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sirtom1:
I also have the same problem with my 2010 Mazda 3 and my sprint HTC hero.

I am probably going to have to return the phone. I was hoping for an update or a fix.

It is critical that the bluetooth feature works.

Another annoyance is that I cannot turn the bluetooth streaming audio. Even though the car and phone both have this feature, I do not want it on. I want to be able to turn on bluetooth for phone but not bluetooth streaming audio.

The HTC touch pro 2 (windows mobile) could turn each of the 2 bluetooth services off independently (and worked for both), the HTC Hero does not allow this (and doesn't work with the car anyway).

Huge thumbs down for an otherwise great phone.

ORIGINAL POST:

"I've noticed that the tutorial for making a gold card is not as intuitive as it should be. A lot of people are having issues making a gold card for a few simple reasons:

1. You need to have the SD card that you want to make in to a gold card in your phone when you get your CID. You need the serial number off of the SD card you're making in to the gold card, and not the ID of your phone it self.

2. Make sure you are following the hexED modification directions correctly. If you run Windows 7 or Windows Vista, be sure to Right click on the program before opening it and select "Run as administrator..."

3. You can use this site to replace steps 6 through 9 of this process thanks to mr_black03:

4. When using the hexED program make sure you are copying ALL the gold card data, then placing your cursor at the front of the first line(0000000) and click on Edit > Paste Write. Then save. This should replace lines 00000 to 00170 with the data from the gold card.

Here are the directions again for everyone(ease and comfort):

I have a MyTouch 3g rooted, running Cyanogens 4.1.11.1 rom. Any questions let me know as I know the process practically by heart now.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Radix999:
Can I suggest that this be added to the wiki - then it will last longer than this post will. Ideally you would create a new wiki page with all the instructions, then anyone else can update them and improve them if they see corrections or simplifications.

See: XDADeveloperWiki - HTC_Sapphire_Hacking

Please help me keep our wiki up to date - I can't do it alone (and I know nothing about any of this as I did not need to create a gold card to root my phone)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mpmilestogo:
Also add how to do the gold card with Linux?

I followed these basic instructions that I found on this originally here to make this work with ubuntu jaunty 9.04 linux:

download QMAT from the site above and either install wine packages or get the codeweaver wine package or use the website above to get the correct reversed numbers after adding zeros up front as it instructs.

visit the website to get the goldcard.img sent to you and save the goldcard.img file on your system

after getting the CID from the same card, I use a cheap USB card reader and not the phone to do the creation.

insert the card reader and create a fat file system. if your system auto mounts the disk, you need to unmount it but leave it plugged in and accessible. Now make a file system by doing sudo fstab /dev/sd? where the question mark is the disk drive that linux gave it. You can easily find it by doing a dmesg in the same terminal and look for the card information at the very bottom. Now create a file system using all the disk space on the card and change its type to vfat. Make sure you do this part!

Now format the card you just created by using the command "sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1" as an example. This creates the vfat file system you need.

DD the goldcard.img to the card by doing "dd if=goldcard.img of=/dev/sd? where the ? is the drive designation linux gives it.

copy the sappimg.zip to the drive after formatting and dd'ing the image. very important and forgot this one when initially compiling this. sorry.

now remove it and test to see if linux will mount it as a vfat disk. If not, the card is most likely not suitable and you need another one or you did a step wrong. You can either mount it manually or let linux attempt to automount it. I don't like automounting so I turn it off.

place the card in the phone and go on with the steps.

I followed these steps twice and the only place that got me was with the actual card itself making a stupid mistake of using a different card for the CID and to make the goldcard.

If you see an error its operator derived and all mine. Just important I think to have a variety of the howto for folks on Linux only.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] neymo:
sorry but what's gold card ? ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] geahboi:
not sure of the exact definition, but essentially its an sd card specifically set up to be used on a cell phone for rooting purposes. the SD cards serial ID as recognized by the phone gets bound to it manually(per the instructions above) and allows the user to get past certain security practices on the phone which would other wise restrict your access to flash image files which is what you need to do in order to root your phone.

any one with more knowledge than myself care to elaborate?

p.s. before mods say it, these types of questions should go in the general section.
