[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wcdisciple:
This is the situation:

I had a message on my phone (G1) stating the SD Card was damaged and I may need to format. Long story short, I formatted the card. Before formatting I moved everything from my card to my desktop.

After formatting, I moved everything back to my card. I then partitioned my card. I tried to partition first but got fed up when I ran into problems attempting to do so. Now after rebooting I was able to see about 1/3 of the apps I downloaded (I had almost a hundred and change- 16g card).

So, the question is: Do I have to reformat the card, partition, then put the files back on the card? Basically do everything all over again. Or is there a way to "restore" all my apps somehow?

Thanks in advance.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Did you transfer you ext partition? If not then you are going to have to redownload and install everything cause you wiped your entire card losing your apps2sd links.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wcdisciple:
What exactly do you mean "transfer you ext partition"?

After messing around some more.......

I connected the usb to my computer, copied the "whole sd card" to my desktop, transferred everything back to my card after after wipe, format and everything.

Now when I go into a file manager, which I had to download again, I can see all the apps are on my card.

How do I get them in the "app tray or app launcher", I think it's called.

And when I go to settings, application whatchamacallit, I see my card is partitioned. I use Amon-Ra partitioning thing.

The regular RD client that comes with the TP2 seems fine. Tho I've found it won't pass some remapped keys.. (tried to remap a keyset to send ctrl-alt-end or the 'windows' button but it won't pass).

zadesktop isn't half bad either since it'll let you go higher then 800x480 res.

I have a Dimond2 with a stock 6.5 Telstra ROM. I see that there isnt the option of choosing Block/Letter recognizer...but....when I installed PhoneAlarm, it has the option in advanced settings to choose which input type you want as default upon startup. I had Letter Recognizer in there from a backup that I had from another phone...and when I restarted, the Letter Recognizer SIP appeared. Its still not in the list you can choose from, but it proves its in the ROM somewhere. Just need a hack to enable it to be chosen from the list.

Good news for fellow sufferers !!!!!

After snooping around, trial and error and many heart stopping moments ..... I have found the solution to the problem.

Have managed to get the Letter Recognizer working well on my device. Still got 2 problems though:

1) Sometimes it can be a bit slow, and sometimes, not very accurate. But I think overall, it is still acceptable.

2) It is not able to switch between this SIP and the default Touch Input SIP. This is not an issue for those who use Letter Recognizer exclusively though.

Will post the steps soon.

I've actually come a little closer to success than my first post in that thread suggests; when I had Dutty's R8 LEO ROM installed, I installed the latest EzInput 2.0 (not 2.1) package, and the recognizers came back and sort-of-kind-of worked. They were usable, but there was a lot of weirdness:

-"Compact QWERTY" was listed twice in the input menu

-Autocompletion of contacts (when sending SMS/email) would only work from keyboard-based input

-The bottom bar across the screen (where the input selector menu lives) would not auto-hide in landscape mode.

I've tried every solution and no good until now.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bushmaster:
Nope, it looks like all they do is flip the IsSIPInputMethod flags (it's an EXE that makes the registry edits for you). Also, it sets the InprocServer32 values to "msimen.dll" (apparently because the author of the tool was running a European handset; on my North American device, the file is just called "msim.dll" without the "en" language-name-wart.)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bushmaster:
Okay, I'm a little reluctant to post this.

I kinda cooked a ROM.

It seems to be working so far, but I'm a little worried, because I've never cooked a ROM before.

I used this kitchen:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=526469

I took the stock HTC ROM upgrade from here:

http://htcpedia.com/touch-diamond2-topaz-wm6_5-rom/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html

I took the stock AT&T Pure ROM image from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=567663&highlight=pure

I used the kitchen to disassemble the .NBH files for the HTC ROM and the AT&T ROM. I found the following packages in the AT&T ROM:

- IME_Engine_Western_2_0_351250_00

- IME_EzInput_Western_2_0_355550_01

I built a new ROM based on the HTC ROM, but substituting those two IME packages from the AT&T ROM for the corresponding packages in the HTC ROM (IME_Engine_Western_2_1_19191433_00 and IME_EzInput_Western_2_1_19191320_00)

As I say, it seems to be running fine. But what worries me is that the .NBH file is only about 170MB in size (the HTC and AT&T .NBH files are about 215MB and 230MB respectively). Also, when I disassemble my new custom ROM in the kitchen, the dumped file tree looks absolutely nothing like HTC ROM dump.

My custom ROM is here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5L8FQKLE

As I say, I am a total noob with HardSPL, a kitchen and a dangerously cavalier attitude. Careful with that axe, Eugene.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NothingBetterToDo:
Enabling the Letter Recognizer SIP

So sorry for keeping you guys waiting. The following are the steps I took based on my memory.

To enable the Letter Recognizer SIP, set this to 1:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}\IsSipInputMethod

"Default"="1" – Enabled

You will notice that this will not make the SIP appear, for example, in your SMS application. However, it should appear in the pulldown menu at Start->Settings->Personal->Input. Now, if you try to set the Letter Recognizer as default, thinking that it will appear in SMS application, it doesn't. For some reason, it will always default back to the Touch Input (or EzInput) SIP.

So, the next step is to make the Letter Recognizer SIP the default. To do that, check the value at

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\DefaultIm

It should be "0654897B-B359-473F-B28B-D85CF601C57F" (for Touch Input SIP). Replace that with

"42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9" (for Letter Recognizer SIP).

WARNING -- very very important to make sure the above is entered correctly. According to some posts elsewhere, a non existent SIP can crash your device. You might want to confirm if you have the Letter Recognizer SIP by searching for the msim.dll file. If it exists, I suppose it is probably safe.

After soft reset (power on/off device), you should now see the Letter Recognizer in your SMS application. However, you will also notice it doesn't work properly. For eg, the Capital Letter (left panel) doesn't work, there is this irritating word suggestions thing that keep popping up, it is quite slow and quite inaccurate, the Help doesn't work well.

To resolve these problems, set the following to 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\IsOtherSip

Do a soft reset and the problems should disappear and you have a good Letter Recognizer to work with (even with fingernail), save for the following problems:

a. Sometimes response may not be very good. Can be quite slow especially if you are entering letters like "i", "r". Maybe this is because of the screen sensitivity.

b. If you click on the little triangle and want to switch to the Touch Input SIP, you can. But the problem is that you can't switch back to the Letter Recognizer anymore unless you do a soft reset. I guess this is OK if you use Letter Recognizer exclusively, but if you want the Chinese Handwriting feature in Touch Input (which is pretty good IMO), then it is not good.

Sorry for the long post. Thought it is better to also share my observations. I am a newbie with registry thing, so I prefer to do step by step and hence many soft resets. If you are gungho enough, just do the steps in bold followed by a soft reset. Hope it works for all you guys. :-)

Note -- if you don't feel safe doing the registry changes, an alternative is to use the Touch Input SIP but set the waiting time to the shortest possible which will reduce the delay. But it is still very irritating to use IMHO.

Cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NothingBetterToDo:
Switching between SIP

I have been trying to solve the 2nd problem but to avail so far. Things I have tried:

Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\EnableSipMenu to 1 -- doesn't help although this appears to be the most logical step.

Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\BioToShowMenu to 1 -- this one is quite interesting. Although it can be set to 1, somehow it doesn't get written into the registry. So, it will always revert to 0. I tried setting to other values like 2, 3 and lo and behold, the SIP menu will actually disappear, which means you can't select the Touch Input Sip anymore, which may actually be a good thing if you don't want to accidentally activate the Touch Input SIP.

I also found out that this particular registry entry doesn't need a soft reset for the change to take effect.

Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\CurrentET9Mode to 1 -- no effect.

Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\CurrentET9Style to 1 -- can't be done.

Setting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\CurrentSIP -- the value I have on my device is 3508 (0xDB4). I searched through the web and found that the typical values are actually A00, B00, D00 that corresponds to the various QWERTY keypads. Tried with A00 but no effect. Also tried with another value I got from a forum "3561 (0xDE9)" also failed.

Hopefully someone can help try things out to solve this irritating problem.

There are other possibilities which one can try:

a. Install another 3rd party SIP like TouchPal

b. Someone posted a Show SIP Menu CAB which might be useful

Cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bushmaster:
NothingBetterToDo, I think the problem is that while the core software components for Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer and Transcriber are still present in these newer ROMs, HTC's "HTCSipSrvc.dll" Service has moved forward and no longer offers the "Other Input Methods" submenu that enables the LR/BR/T input methods. When building my custom ROM, I did binary comparisons on MSIM.DLL and MSIM.192.DLL and found that they were identical in the HTC and AT&T releases. But HTCSipSrvc.dll was different.

So, my guess is that messing with registry entries like DefaultIM may get you minimal functionality, but it will never get things back to the way they were because of hardcoding in HTCSipSrvc.dll.

By the way, I think you misunderstand the behavior of the "BioToShowMenu" registry entry. When you set it to "1", it is written to the registry; but HTCSipSrvc immediately notices this, displays the selection menu, and sets the entry back to "0". In other words, this is the software interface to display the selection menu. In older HTC ROMs there was a process called SIPGT_app.exe which I think performed the same function.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bushmaster:
Regarding the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\CurrentSIP" value, my experiments on the stock AT&T ROM indicate that it's not affected when Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer or Transcriber are selected; it only changes when one of the HTC-specific input methods are chosen. I could never discover what the A00/C00/D00 corresponded to. I mean, obviously they match up with the different QWERTY keypads; but I could never find anything else in the registry that was keyed by A00/C00/D00.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NothingBetterToDo:
So, I guess it is not possible to switch between the different SIPs then? It sucks. :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NothingBetterToDo:
Yep, that one baffles me too. With a name like "CurrentSIP", I was expecting that it should correspond one of the SIP values, but it doesn't. Guess that is how software engineers work ..... :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bushmaster:
It's possible that I missed something, but I'm pretty sure that's what I saw, because I was trying to figure out what the magic "X00" number was for the Letter Recognizer, and I never could.

I would be so happy to be wrong about all this; if I simple reg tweak could bring these things back, I'd be all over it.

I hate seeing all the comments to the ROM cooks saying "Get rid of it", "Nobody uses it"... it's a tiny amount of storage for a very nice feature. Heck, the stupid animated .GIFs for startup/shutdown on the AT&T ROM are probably bigger.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bushmaster:
Still running my custom ROM and can't find anything wrong with it.

(In fact, writing this post using the LR...)

My buddy mentioned seeing something on these fora about cooking ROMs in such a way that they could not be disassembled. I also noticed that when I hard-reset, the progress bar on the orange WM boot screen restarts 2 or 3 times. I think maybe this kitchen creates ROMs in some super-compressed format. If anyone knows more about this, I'd appreciate any pointers.

And how I do to have BLOCK RECOGNIZE ?

I tried this and work fine for letter recognize, but I prefer block recognize.

Any sugestions ???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] NothingBetterToDo:
Great that it worked for you. :)

I guess if you want Block Recognizer, can just do the same but with the following value:

42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9

Do you find the Letter Recognizer a bit slow? I compared it with my Omnia2 and it is definitely slower, can be frustrating at times. It seems the processor takes longer time to analyze the handwriting. Hope the block recognizer won't be worse off.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Bushmaster:
There are registry entries (the ones under HKCR\CLSID) that refer to MSIM.DLL on my phone; on your phone, they may refer to MSIMSW.DLL. Be careful using any of the downloaded .CABs that make registry edits, as they could change those strings (on my phone, I once ran a .CAB that changed my strings to MSIMEN.DLL, which broke things).

Letter Recognizer block select

I noticed a strange behavour on my Letter Recognizer. Can you guys confirmed if it behaved same on yours or is it just my device.

Use the Letter Recognizer to enter a lot of text into say Microsoft Word such that the vertical scroll bar appears. Then, try to do a block select, that is, click and swipe your stylus over the text. You would expect the text to be selected. But it doesn't.

However, if you remove enough text so that the vertical bar disappears, this works OK.

I have confirmed that this is not a Letter Recognizer problem becos the SIP worked well on my Omnia2.

Anybody any idea?
