Approach to make the great TouchPal work on special devices

Oh. I eventually got TouchPal work on one of my friend's device. Very special way...
(if you don't know what is TouchPal, please go to http://www.cootek.com)
Step A> Common steps:
1. Install TouchPal
2. Soft-reset your device
Step B>Check with your device version:
1. Make sure you can find "\Program Files\TouchPal" folder. If it exists, go to Step C directly.
2. If not, try to find another folder named "Programme". If you can find it, copy TouchPal folder, create a folder under root directory named "Program Files" and then paste TouchPal folder into it.
3. Soft-reset and try again.
Step C> If it doesn't work, try the following steps:
1. Install a workable SIP (PocketCM in my case)
2. Install a registry editor (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml)
3. Find the registry key of that SIP under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
if it is PocketCM, it is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\BB25F2EB-688C-4698-ADFC-F422A148AD4F
4. Go to InprocServer32 key, change the "default" value to:
"\Program Files\TouchPal\touchpal.dll"
5. Save and exit
6. Soft-reset your device, TouchPal works now!
Caution: After Step C, your PocketCM doesn't work anymore. You need to change that value back and reboot to make PCM work again. But actually, I don't really need it anymore, do you?
Hope more and more people could use this really cool SIP just like me~

Nice going there.
I assume you are from Germany as you refer to your Program Files folder as being "Programme" - How did you get around the missing dictionary and special characters used in your language (äöß)?

Tried to perfrom your approach on a Dutch Mio PDA I have here, just for testing. Did not manage to get it to work. I will wait for my Touch to arrive in 2 days and give it a go again then. To me all of this sound like a badly written installer for the SIP. But must say the Sip itself looks promising, would even buy it I think.
Found another workaround, based on JerryChan's workaround, so credit goes to him:
This is when installing on anther CE OS then English !!!!!
1. Install TouchPal

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{802C691C-EB46-442c-BC54-DC2C42B156C3}
4. Go to InprocServer32 key, change the "default" value to:
"\<your program files folder name>\TouchPal\touchpal.dll"
5. Save and exit
6. Soft-reset your device, TouchPal works now!

I am not sure whether it is the bug in SIP or in Windows Mobile. Actually it is quite common that a third-party SIP couldn't run on some Windows Mobile. I actually bet "SIP cannot load on some devices" must be a windows bug. But I think at least, the "Programme" issue must be a setup bug in that SIP. Going to report to CooTek! Hope they can fix this issue in coming release. Overall, TouchPal is still the best!
BTW, I didn't find the way to type those characters. Cannot wait to see international version of TouchPal.

Sorry, John. Seems this approach will kill customized word feature. That is, you cannot add customized word anymore.
I suggest you just use my solution on "Programme" like device.

Thank you so much - I finally got TouchPal working on my HTC Touch !

Now it works! Thanks jerrychan.

@jerrychan,
You are right noticed that also, probably due to hardcoding the path to the dictionary also.
So if you combine both our suggestions, you no longer need to install PocketCM.

Hi there
I really would like to use TouchPal as my default SIP but it is rather 'unstable'. Maybe I've installed other SIPs, such as CE Star, Phonepad etc.
Anyway, the steps mentioned here by the two gentlemen seems to be for those who didn't have TouchPal installed in the correct place. For my Trinity Asian ROM (official from HTC), the installation is as per what's being described here, so no changes are needed. But still, TouchPal refused to run sometimes.
Last night I tried installing some XT9 cab files which doesn't seem to work. After that TouchPal didn't run properly anymore. I've to delete it. Sigh..
Not sure what's wrong..

Similar issue appears on a lot of devices for different SIP. I think this is Microsoft Windows Mobile's bug.

under InprocServer32 value of Default is \Program Files\TouchPal\touchpal.dll (this is the path to the program's dll)
5. 2nd Soft Reset

hi guyz.. same problem here on Prophet 4.0.0.0.6 PV-Touch WM6...

Real VGA on x7510

Dear Tobias and friends,
I would like to install Real VGA and the other 2 DPI cab files into my Italian htc x7510 WM 6.1 pro but, beig really a newbye,...WHERE have I to put these files ? In wich Folders ?
2nd Question...Is there any risk ? It seems someone in the forum had problems due to the WM 6.1... Is there someone who tried successfully Real VGA on an Italian version ? With wich precautions ?
Thank you for an answer

I've used RealVGA on my x7510 since I got it w/o any problems at all. Works great and it makes the huge display really worthwhile.
When you install it be sure to install to main memory, not the flash drive or a storage card -- that's true for the RealVGA program and both dpi programs. Then reboot your x7510, open RealVGA, select whichever dpi you want and it will reboot again -- should then work fine.

Hello,
I try to use the sw but I have problems with the excel program, dont run if the realVga is intalled in my HTC 7510 spanish.
when I made the installation I have a message that said: Missind 128 DPI resources
ipsecvpnres.dll is not found.
Can you help me?
thanks a lot

I had a similar problem (not ony with excel but with any program with a box to edit a number).
I think that the problem is with the SIP keyboard that does not work on 96/128 dpi. Install another SIP keyboard (like resco keyboard) and all should work fine again.

Or you could just drop the three files in the attached RAR into your Windows folder...

missing msimit
Thank you all
I installed Real VGA and also the file you suggested but there are still problems:
1) first of all there is a message that msimit.128.dll and msimit.96.dll are missing. Where can i find them ?
2) some programs do not run properly: e.g. in Agenda Fusion 8.60 contacts, the icons commads at the bottom are not displayed.
3) If it will become necessary, how can I go back to the original display ?

you must copy the msim.128.dll and msim.96.dll to another folder, rename it to msimit.128.dll and msimit.96.dll, and copy back to windows-folder
if you want your original display with 192dpi, start real vga and set it to 192dpi, restart, ready. some progs are not working with that, eg s2u2 will not go back to 192dpi

Dear All,
I solved the problem with missing msimit : it was enough a files' rename.
Still open instead the problem with Agenda Fusion 8.6 (Developer One). At 192 dpi works properly but, at 96 and 128 dpi, even working well, the icon buttons at the bottom pages disappear, so that commands are not available.
Anyone knows a way to solve it ?

most roms have a utility that will allow network settings to be automatically retreived
settings will have to be done from scratch
look for a program called pimbackup to save numbers
and
you can do a search for compatible keyboard aound the internet

but how to know that it is compatibil, das it depand on wm6.1 or diamond by akeo, or ...what?
this phone is too smart or i am too stupid

yopu read all of the thread this will give you possible compatability issues
and no ones is stupid if they leanr correctly

thanks
thanks for eaford.
I understand that my sistem is mising some programs or apps that alow to use some other themes, programs and games...
can p3600 use touch mods and g sensor screen rotating?

i dont think the device u mention has a gensor

that meens one question is solved!
can you postt some links to the exatc ...enything usfol for my phone so I can notice a right way... allmost evrything I instaled sends me a same respons
: instal sucsesful, but when try to load it...-it need some aplication

thsat file in question needs another application to work
you need o get the master application first

master for what
whap is master is it a opecsorce for all aps or what?

no basically your try to open a file that needs touse anothre application to be used
you need to find out what it is you need

thanks
that is what I was a freid off
hor the last do you have some rom sugestions?...i am loving animations and mooving ojects...on black descktop
thanks

Cant use alternative keyboards with WM6.5

After upgrading my PDA to WM6.5, I found that I was never able to use anything other than the default system keyboard and the shareware TouchPal application. Any other keyboard would just default back to the system one when selected. One, after installed, actually disappeared completely. No option for it or even an installed file!
So has anyone else had this issue. If so, how did you correct it?
Or if you know how this might be fixed, that would be helpful too!

There's a couple problems in doing this as I see it...
First, Changing the Soft Keys when using the WinMo interface (NOT Manila/TouchFlo) requires a registry Hack. I'm assuming that there's prolly a different registry setting somewhere to change what Manilla sets the SoftKeys to, but you'd have to find that first. Maybe someone who is more familiar with the Manilla interface and where registry/settings are, could give you that info...
Secondly, I don't believe (or at least know of) an Executable app that Locks the device. I believe the built-in "Device Lock" functionality is calling a DLL or running service/exe or something, but I don't know of an EXE in the windows directory that you can click on to lock your device. Another post I read mentioned something of a "lock.exe" file in the \Windows\ directory but I believe that was a reference to a 3rd party app since I do not have/see that file. Again someone with more knowledge - please feel free to step in and correct/inform.
in light of those two problems I would recommend using the built-in (or at least built-in on my phone - Fuze w/ WinMo) "Long Press End Key" option found in Start > Settings > System which can be set to lock the device when the "end" key is held down. This option may or may not exist on your phone... I am not sure if it's just something HTC included on mine, or what.
I hope this helps a little bit, or someone else can be of better assistance.

found it
thnaks for ur answer i found it de devicelock is hidden in windows right now i cant remember if its a.exe or what but its named devicelock.
i sold that phone to a friend and now i got an opal, its funny because i found my own q while looking for the same app
