BOUNTY! HTC Touch Keyboard/Keypad .cab w/Norwegian

Hi
There's a couple different HTC Touch keyboard/keypad .cabs floating about, but so far none with full support for my own language (Norwegian). I am a total newb when it comes to making cabs, but since there's already cabs out there with other linguas I can hardly believe it will be very difficult to make a cab with a few spesific languages.
So, here's deal. I will paypal this awesome bounty of 15$ aka "beer money" (not much but I'm unemployed, broke, my fiancé of 8 years and I just decided we'll go separate ways AND I'm horribly bored ) to the person who can make a .cab that installs the HTC Touch keyboard/keypad + English and Norwegian xt9 (additional languages might be an idea, but moderation please if you're really feeling like making a killer cab, size matters too) and so forth and makes it work on a Kaiser.
I will of course expect this .cab to be offered to the public through these forums.
You can find the dumped? files here that's needed (or so I believe).
www.mindovermadness.org/HTC_KeyBoard_DualOEM_multi.rar
Also, the .cab on Duttys FTP with the HTC Touch Keyboard that should be possible to break down for paths etc.
http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/HTC Touch Keyboard + Keypad.cab
I hope someone will be so kind as to look into this and become my personal XDA hero. Also I am sorry if I somehow have misunderstood the concept of a bounty, offended anyone or offered a ridicilously low sum of money. I come from a land of ice and snow, my brain is numb and thats my excuse!
/Mac

I have tried to do fix that, I got a oem package with the norwegian files, even the scandinavian layout is in it.
But I have had no success, im no coder
But I upped the package, and if any guru will look into it, that would help alot

It must be pretty basic stuff, I figured I can make it work myself simply by some creative renaming and overwriting files on a previous install from one of the existing cabs, but its hardly viable when you flash your phone every week

Think I did it
I have managed to make an installable cab with english, danish, norwegian and swedish HTC Keyboard + Keypad layout, and with working xt9/t9 dictionaries. I have installed it on my own HTC Touch (P3450) and tested all four languages with success. When nordic languages are chosen, the keyboard (not keypad) have the nordic letters on them, so the bitmap files should be right as well.

Thank you If you want the bounty, pm me your paypal!

nice work, thx
one thing or two though
keypad dont display æøå but keyboard is workin perfectly
i dunno how to explain this correctly, but in textwriting æøå works (in keyboard) but when opening them ouside like in.ex programs folder, it show only english qwerty, any suggestions?
Many has been waiting for this, great work

I've discovered a number of bugs/glitches in this .cab, see the thread at
http://forum.smartmobil.no/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=9314&sid=20a938d71af92d67e43f1ac3be4242cb
Yet, should be "fixeable" I think.

if u install this over another version, it works better

Thanks a lot! I'm close to 100% on the keyboard issue.
Ok, this is what I've done:
Installed (in this order)
Scandanavian Keyboard.CAB
-Soft reset
Nordic Keypad Mapping.cab
-Soft reset
XDA_JCEspi2005_Norwegian_Input_Kaiser.cab
-Soft reset
Now the SIP keyboard layout are OK with æøå - working fine. I Had to install XDA_JCEspi2005_Norwegian_Input_Kaiser.cab to get my hardware keyboard right.
This issue remains: Word Completion is still in english. Any fix for that?
Also in Duttys newest ROM, the Touch Keyboard and Touch Keypad are without the Norwegian letters. Any cabs for this?

If you can go with the diamond keyboard try this

Try this: Change Curlang to 414 (414 Hex, 1044 Dec). Search up Curlang in youre register (should be in: HKLM/Hardware/Devicemap/Keybd), Soft Reset. DONE! Youre Keyboard is now supporting ÆØÅ and all the oter keys and so on, just as you were use to on Norwegian Shipped/Stok Roms.

Thanks to you both!
I'll try this as soon as I get my hands on my "test Kaiser" again!

Ezinput / HTC diamond keyboard for omnia solution anyone?

Hi there
any one got solution for working htc keyboard?
Ive installed files from xda, (main keyboards, language pack)
but after instalation only normal keyboard is working quite ok , in others (including samsung ones) i can only het numbers.
I was trying to make something with it, but failed (i ve made hard reset and installed it on a "clean" system but it was the same)
I was trying polish lang pack (changing ezinput.dll.mui.0409 to .mui.0415 etc) searchung in registry etc,, but nothing changed, i am fighting with it 3hours wright now smile.gif
tommorow i need to check something like that :
EDITED:
Still cannot make it work sad.gif
Be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0 - if not, change it.
Change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409:
Value of Ime File from \windows\xt9ime.dllto \windows\compime.dll
Value of Layout Text from XT9 IME to COMP IME
but maybe someone got any good solution for this problem? i really like the htc compact keyboard (double letter)
i tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392197
and the result is the same. think that it is a problem with polish language on omnia or something like that (people with 0409 got this keyb workig, i with 0415 got problems , still dont now why it is thesame for all keyboards even samsungs ones

Have you try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455769
that was only cab that I could install and had no problems with just numbers typing

Sliding Input as Keyboard (SlideIT, Swype, ShapeWriter)

Hello,
I am looking for a replacement of the build in sw keyboard for my HD2. I liked the idea of sliding over the keyboards.
I found different sliding keyboards - the funny thing is that every company writes something about "patents" and unique
I tried already SlideIT and ShapeWriter, because both are available for testing. But it seems that swype is not available. I suppose it should just be bundled with pdas (e.g. omnia 2)
Now my questions:
- Are there other solutions available?
- How are the chances to have Swype on the HD2?
- I have stability problems with SlideIT on my HD2
(e.g. the screen area for SlideIT are not correctly drawn, and keeps
destroyd...)
Is there someone running SlideIT on the HD2 without problems?
Any other notes are welcome...
Best regards,
stefan

Swype

I contacted Dsaur (SlideIT) yesterday ; below is a section of the emai I sent .
"I have stumbled on a problem, whilst trying to use my phone horazontaly in Opera or tryng to text message the SlideIT keyboard does not function correctly do you have a fix inplace for this?
At the moment this is the only thing stopping me making a purchase.
Many Thanks "
==> This is there reply !!
"Yes we will fix this bug and it will be corrected in our next demo release soon (about 2 weeks). Regards
Daniel"
I cant wait I really do like this Keyboard
Scuzzy

You can try a ported version of SWYPE
It is ported from Verizon's Omnia II (same resolution as HD2)

Working!!! Rom WWE 1.43
On NON-WWE ROMs you have to move the swype folder from your locale program files folder to /Program Files/

SlideIT
I purchased the slide it keyboard. I fell in love with it from the start. It is working without problems on my HD2. I have noticed the same problem, mentioned earlier, about the landscape typing. It works, but it doesnt look right.
It has increased my text speed at least 50%! It doesn't play well with entering usernames and passwords, however. I find myself changing back to touch input for this.

is there any way to get GERMAN DICTIONARY for swype? because i've only spanisch and english

Swype is pretty interesting... I find myself giggling inside a little every time I *swype* a long word.

Yeah, Swype is pretty good from initial impressions. I've tried slide-it, shapewriter and I find swype's keyboard to be laid out the best (in terms of straight typing and not swiping).

Amazing
I tried SlideIT. It's ok, but I don't like the design and it does not support landscape. That's a deal breaker.
Swipe is my favorite: good design, fast. Unfortunately it's only in Spanish and English....
I am not satisfied with ShapeWriter. It did not recognise most of the words and is only avalaible in Qwerty.

I have WWE 1.43
Why doesn't it work for me?
Its installed in root/Program Files/
I can go to settings > personal > input and its there, but whenever i choose it, it automatically goes back to the default htc keyboard.

You can modify the input with SK Tools or a cab named SIPChange.

Installed th .CAB file that already puts the program in root\program files, but it does not work om my HD2. The only thing I see after enabling Swype, is a black square that fills up the left half of the screen. I'm using Dutch ROM 1.43. Any ideas/suggestions how to get it to work?
regards, Kuzibri
OK, after downloading the .CAB file from different sources, I got it working. First impression: Not much difference with SlideIT, but can be judged only when there is a Dutch dict for Swype. Anyone?

Now I have this error message with SlideIT:
(3)missing lang data!!!
What can I do? Impossible to uninstall/install the cab.

[KEYBOARD] Another stable CIME keyboard

I've seen in the forum before there's a link to download the CIME keyboard which extracted from Acer. But that apk have a lot of bug. It's just only work in full-screen Hand Writing. I took a look around and can't discovered anything about this thread for a long time. Few days ago, I walked in to the mobile center in Xiamen, China then asked them that how to make the Nexus One to be able use CIME with stable Hand Writing mode. They look at my phone and said that taking a breath. Not too long, they return me Nexus One CM5.0.6 with fully functional of Chinese Hand Writing mode. No more waiting, I use Linda Manager to back up it for you.
How to install
1.Copy the file to your SD card.
2.Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard
3.Select language & region to be 中文 next one from the last that's mean Simplifies Chinese.
4.Launch Linda Manager what can download from Market.
5.Browse the apk and install it.
6.Back to Menu > Settings >Language & Keyboard (Please use your sensitivity to go to setting because of this time it's Chinese).
7.Check at new check-box to on.
8.reboot. <-- recommend
9.Change your language & region back to English (I used Thai-ไทย it go error just can use with Chinese and English but the another I haven't try).
10.Enjoy with CIME. This version has also extracted from Acer V.1.0.0
Summary
Do not forget to install on Chinese region mode unless you do, you will face with force close in keyboard setting.
PS.Sorry for my bad Eng. I'm Thai.

Thanks. This works great.. ！

This is actually a pretty stable Chinese handwriting IME. Much better than the one extracted from HTC and it's a APK....Love it..Thanks a lot for sharing..
Just a side note, any file manager will do it, there is no need to use Linda manager.
I didn't changed my region setting to Simpfied Chinese and still able to set it up.

Yes, it can set up but can't adjust some setting.

the keyboard key pressed soundcant be turned off..very annoying while doing typing..

Swype-omnia and 3.19 several issues

I have 5 questions...how to reset swype, how to guess which version is running and some more issues.
QUESTIONS:
1.
how can I know which swype version i am running? from which menu? or settings or where?
2. How to install a dictionary, for example ITALIAN Dictionary? (I have the Italian cab, but installation does not work)
I have two HD. The old one HTC-HD2, NOT T-mobile (running an old 6.5.3 cooked rom) has a modified swype in which sometimes (50% of times) long pressing does NOT result in a number to be typed. But it has ITALIAN language.
My new HD2 t-mobile has probably a omnia version (smaller keys) and long press ALWAYS work. Unfortunately it only has only ENG and SPANISH dictionaries, NOT ITALIAN. I have tried to install Italian cab (following a thread here) but it is NOT recognized as a legitimate dictionary.
3.
How to reset swype? In fact after 3 or more months, the OLD HD2 has this problem: I have accidentally hit od and i3 and press space. these 2 mistyped words are now part of the ENGLISH dictionary, right? then what happens, every time i type OF I get OD (as default choice) and same for IF: I get i3...so I wish to reset the internal dictionary. How to do it?
4.
The NON-omnia swype, in the 3rd screen (click 123-SYM key 3 times), has an option "SELECT ALL", The Ommia-version of swype does NOT have this option. Is there a way to add in omnia-version of swype?
5. TYPO vs TO
The english dict has this word TYPO. Each time I swype TO the system ALWAYS enter TYPO...how to correct this behaviour? I wish to eliminate TYPO from dictionary. there are instructions on how to do. but these instructions do not work...
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

can somebody feedback on which are the best skins for swype, available for both 3.19 and OMNIA version?
Thanks
Saulo
