Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?

I'd really like to use CorePlayer for Videos, etc.
Thanks in advance for the help.

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure

Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.

** Bump **

I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....
PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.
Here is Poorlyducks post,
page 23 has the skins....

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.

*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can you point me to the registry change to get the 6 sided cube?

Nope
Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Does anyone know what/where the registry settings are to point the HTC album to the storage card?

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Things to check first:
- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

Excellent Carlos....I was hoping you would take a look at this program for the Polaris!!

Thx
Hi carlos,
thx for your quick reply. It works like a charm now. I need now some "stylish" icons for my selected apps, but thats another problem.
Thx anyway for your great application.

well, on mine it really did not turn out that well....
The cube does not turn any more

Please HELP!!!

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

How to change the hard keyboard to Chinese mapping?

Hi there all, I have searched and read and then searched some more, even on other forums but (probably due to my technological stupidity) I have not found an answer... I need to use Chinese sometimes when emailing or smsing etc and I like to use the hard keyboard if its going to be a long one (amazing how quickly I got to like the qwerty keyboard)... now I have AEKmap so I can quickly change from the English one to a Chinese one (or so I thought) but I find that it does not have a Chinese keyboard listed in the options (just the default and a couple of Russian options). I have CEStar installed and also the d-ear Chinese sip as well as the 10 Key d-ear sip... but still cant find an option to enable the Chinese mapping for the hard keyboard. Am I missing something obvious (all to likely given my skill with tech stuff) or do I need to find a Chinese keyboard map? thanks for any help anyone can offer...

CE star is a solution but it s not free
and the logiciel bug my HTC wizard and Kaiser (hard reset)

Thanks but I already have CEStar but when I slide out the hard Kb it wont let me choose a Chinese layout and I can not type in pinyin... (wont let me choose a sip), would sip change help here?

install CESTAR or A4 pinyin input for Kaiser
then, open up your registry editor
go to HKLM->HARDWARE->DEVICEMAP->KEYBD
change curlang to 0x804
restart your kaiser
slide out your keyboard, the Sym/Tab button should allow u to switch to chinese input (if yours is a Eur/US device)
if yours is a Chinese APAC device, then you should see a chinese character at that button.
the button is on the left of the space bar

I have CEStar and it works perfectly for me. as long as you select the chinese mode, you will be able to eithe type in chinese with the keyboard (slide-out) or type with the stylus (regular)

Ruffruff... thanks for the advice, if I make this regedit will it be chinese layout all the time or can I select between default and Chinese in AEKmap?
Zcsx1985 yeah I sort of worked it out, I had to select the sip in portrait and then when I slid the keyboard out it worked fine...
Actually now that I have done that I can bring up the sip switch thing (little triangle next to the keyboard symbol on the screen) after sliding out the keyboard which I couldnt do before and now its all ok... well so far... cheers

Hi Shadow, how did you get the d-ear sips to work? Any special configurations necessary?
I have not managed to get them to work properly. when i type any messages, it appears right on my kaiser screen but when sent, my client will receive a whole page of question marks.
Did you overcome that issue?

I didnt do anything special, just install and then use... is your clients phone set up to receive Chinese characters cos thats the only reason for them not being able to receive them I can think of.. of course I am not too knowledgeable about such matters so it might be something else... if it is perhaps try uninstalling and then reinstalling... plus I am using a cooked ROM not stock...

I have an English ROM, how can I get Chinese MENU (switchable to English) and Chinese Pinyin input...? Thank in advance....

I'm using a WWE ROM and after I installed CE Star and the input method, it works great without any registry modifications
but one thing that bothers me is everytime I need to open the soft keyboard, press the "Chinese" symbol" once, then I can use the "input switch" button on the hardware keyboard to switch between typing English and Chinese ...

Tony as Kw31 says, CEStar is my main IME and it works fine, only conflicts with MS reader when its in Chinese mode (and also Pleco2 but thats another program)...

HW Keyboard not working in citrix RDP

hi guys,
I am using a citrix ica client as a remote desktop.ANd unfortunately its not accepting the Hardware keyboard strokes at all. Its only accepting virtual keyboard.Can any kind soul tell me how to completely disable the virtual keyboard and use only the hardware keyboard please ?
I tried changing the few roms availabe, but nothing helps.
Suggestions are welcome , as whats the point of not able to use a keyboard in Remote desktop clients ?
vijayvasa

I've just been reading about RDP. It should work if it is install on the phone, not the card, but you can try the opposite, if its not working.

I have tried the citrix client with installed on device.
I will try and then will post the feedback.

I'd forgotten about Citrix until reading this thread. I've just installed it and have the same problem - no working hardware keyboard...

I found another program in witch the hardware keyboard doesn't work; iGO8. I Haven't been able to figure out why, thinking it was an iGO8 problem. Now reading Citrix also doesn't work maybe it isn't an iGO prblem after all.
Still searching for a solution; iGO *must* be use in 320*240 mode, and it seems silly not being able to use the hardware keyboard.

I have a good news. The hardware keyboard works in the ica client. I believe the "Enable Palette Device" in the settings did the trick for me.

Hi yaa, I tried with your setting enabled on 1.90.405.1 Uk version official rom and am still unable to make the HW keyboard work in the ica client ? Hope you can tell me your rom version ? Thank you.

Sure.
ica client version: 10.0.57037
ROM: 1.90.401.1 WWE

I played with settings again and unfortunately the previous option indeed doesn't enable the keyboard.
You have to modify the IME settings. Either in global settings or for each server (from the main screen select the remote server, press edit, edit options, set IME settings). Set it to "Disable Client IME" (default is Disable Server IME). Tested it this time
Sorry for the confusion, I enabled more options at the same time.

Just in case anyone else has been having the same problem as me, use Pocket IE to get to the /localaccess page instead of Opera.

It seems the xT9 software breaks keyboard handling somehow. After cooking a ROM without it iGO8 works fine. I'm sure there must be another way (like with Citrix) but I'm happy now.

How do I restore the Block Recognizer

Hi all!
I have just updated my TP2 (Verizon) to WinMo 6.5. The Block Recognizer has disappeared. Verizon's response is a resounding "oh well".
I understand there is a registry entry that will restore the feature. Anyone have any ideas or solutions?
I am desprate, my fingers are too big for the on screen keyboards.
Thanks for advance.
Uncle Eric

Im guessing you also dont like using the slide out keyboard (which i am happily using to type this). I dont know the reg edit for the block recognizer but i can suggest 2 soft input panels u can try. One is Spb keyboard (not free) which has a much bigger onscreen keyboard. There is also my favorite solution for onscreen keyboards....Swype. Its free because it was pulled from the rom to another HTC phone and is compatible with the tp2. If u want the cab let me know. Do a google search to find out how it works. I believe it is a much more efficient way of typing onscreen. If ur not interested in the cab then maybe someone else can throw their hat in as far as the reg edit. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response.
What I really want is the feature in WinMo 6.1 restored in 6.5. The Verizon Imagio has this feature, I guess, because of the lack of a keyboard.
I like the "Palm Grafitti" type input, I have been using it since the first Palm device shipped, before WinMo or Windows CE even existed.
I am told there is a registry entry to fix all this, maybe I need to find an Imagio and look at its registry. I do know it is not just a 1 or 0, its one of those long {xxx-xxx} type entries.
Thanks again for the suggestion, but it does not work for me.

htc has a hotfix for this "HotFix RHo09076". it is on the htc site. it reinstalls the block recognizer and transcriber.

This hotfix does NOT work for the Verizon phones; I'm unsure for others.
I do know that all verizon did was disable the registry value for a few of the SIP(block recognizer and transcriber) and left all the dependent files alone(dll's, registry entries, etc.).
If you're comfortable with a regedit then here's what you'll need to do:
Letter Recognizer
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
"Default"="0" - Disabled
Block Recognizer
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
"Default"="0" – Disabled
Transcriber
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0034DD0-2AD4-11d1-9CB0-E84BE8000000}\IsSipInputMethod
"Default"="1" – Enabled
"Default"="0" - Disabled

it worked for my verizon tp2 with update to stock wm6.5

I found the registry entries and made the changes.
Unfortunately, this does not make the block recoginizer selectable.
On the menu that selects the keyboard, etc, there should be a selection "other input methods", after selecting that menu, the menu to select "block recognizer " appears.
I suspect there is another step here to add the "other input methods" or "block recognizer" to the selection menu.
The menu is located by pressing the up carret that is next to the keyboard icon.
Thanks
Uncle Eric

I found the Block/Letter Recognizer hotfix. It was on HTC's UK site. Can't post links yet, but it's at:
htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=822&news_id=435
Problem was, when I went to install it I got an "unsupported device" error. So I edited the XML and made a CAB.
Hope this helps people out, I spent the better part of an afternoon looking for a fix and couldn't find one.

ScottSNX - you are a LIFESAVER... I thought I was losing my mind - because I know when I was in the verizon store I saw the block recognizer on the htc imagio and a friend of mine had the touch pro2 (but maybe windows 6.1) and it was there - which is one of the reasons I bought this device. I was pulling my hair out trying to find a solutions - thank God I came upon your post... This definitely works.. it literally took me 1 minute to download and it installed and worked in 30 seconds. I can't thank you enough!!!

Thanks ScottSNX
I completely agree. Thanks ScottSNX!

Are you using a custom rom or have you upgraded to the new Sprint rom that HTC released a week or two ago?

Will this work for the Sprint Touch Pro 2?

Thanks for the fix. Believe me I'm glad someone did this, I'm lost without my block text!
Only, now, I need someone to walk this old man through how to install it.
I've downloaded it to my PC and tried to copy it to the phone. Won't copy.
I've downloaded it using my phone but when I open the folder I saved to, no file.
I'm sure it's simple but if you don't know how, it's frustrating.
Thanks again.

Works great
I installed and it works great. Now I can take notes again. Was a little rough using the board. Thanks for all the effort

Bump!
(Version MR1 just installed)

Have you connected your phone and computer (USB) using Microsoft ActiveSync? Find in the ActiveSync window the Explore utility...should be one of three selections available in a toolbar just below the standard File/Edit/View... toolbar.
Select Explore...and you'll see a typical Explorer view of your phone and its files.
Now, you can drag and drop the .cab file, for example.
Go now to your phone file explorer, find the .cab file...and run it. Voila!
My only question now, is -- I seem to recall that there was an on-screen keyboard with smaller keys than any of the keyboards now available. Is this another "enhancement" in 6.5.
Many thanks to Scott...on behalf of all of us (both of us? -- tee hee) who use the stylus for something other than just tapping. Letter and block recognition is awesome. If you haven't tried it in a while, I urge you to do so...it has come a long way!

( Assign program is a scroller so scroll down. Then click ok and continue on now hold down the send key and say whats on the screen now its complete.

Is there a reason why you give download links for the apps as opposed to going to the official download sites for the apps? Is there a difference?

Thanks for the instructions, I have installed this on my HD2 with the latest stock HTC ROM.
I have followed them to the letter, but I cannot get the final setup to work.
It prompts you to click the Vlingo button and say "Search cinema tickets"
I long press the send key but nothing happens . I have checked the processes that are running after I have pressed the button and I can see:
vlManager.exe
vlingoVoice.exe
Any ideas?
Thanks

It looks like on the official site when you try and download from there, that it's only available in the US, on ATT and for the Samsung Jack...

I've just tried it and can't even the launch the program...don't think this works

DO NOT INSTALL THIS.
It doesn't work very well at all and its completely messed up all of my hardware buttons.
Do not bother giving it try. Just have to wait for Google to release their voice control solution on WinMo
really annoyed now - prob going to have to do a hard reset >:<

Finally installed and working (sort of) on the HD2
I followed the directions in the first post but could never get the long_press send key to function with the app. It just stopped functioning with voice command. The directions did allow me to assign the Button one which I created by the reg edit. This allowed me to at least get to the point where you push the long send and say "search concert tickets" but the listen notification bubble never appeared. I just clicked on OK to close.
I then made a quick link to Vlingo.lnk in /program files/vlingo. The first time I press the quick link I get the screen again asking me to say "search concert tickets" and I click ok. From that point on the quick link opens up the "Listening window" and the program functions normally. It is set to close with key or silence, so it will close after you speak if there is not a lot of back ground sound. Just get it to search for anything and then open menu/home at bottom for help, options etc. Do not set to close with key only as the key does not work.
Messy but it works. Here is a not very good icon if you need one.
UPDATE EDIT: Not working for SMS. It says it sends the text message and it shows in text program as sent, but they never arrive. It will do searchs. Don't waste your time!

Trying to get icon to upload as png but it is getting
changed to a jpg image by the uploader? Sorry!

i am looking for a software i can use on my hd2 that, as im driving, i can dictate some notes and print the text files out later to put in files.
maybe this is not the best?
i am also using voice command on the hd2 so i dont want that messed up.(unless there is a better option).
a couple things that i dont have tweaked (dont know how) is to have the voice command announce phone calls as " john smith from mobile" like it did on my old phone. (it just rings here). Also, would like appointments mentioned rather than just the tone as i used to get.
thanks in advance

Tutorial:[/U][/B]
Step 1: Install Vlingo fix to device and Resco to device or storage card, Then soft reset. !!!WARNING DONT START VLINGO!!!
Step 2:Start Resco Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\Shell\. Now some Htc Hd2 have a folder called keys some don't If you do go to next step. If you don't click Menu, New, Key and call it Keys.
Step 3: Go into the keys folder then click Menu, New, Key and call it 40C1.
I did all of this except I copied every value from the existing key called 40C6
into key 40C1 and modified the string to read "(Long hold Send key)" without quotation marks.
When I started Vlingo it skipped the button setting page and went directly to the voice test (search concert tickets) page.
It works but it will lock-up when I stop using it until I power down and back up.
You will have to forgive me if I type anything like a noob cause I am.

tried everything and am wondering if someone has a piece of advice

does vlmanager.exe need to be running first ? I wonder if someone found a different version of a vlingo cab that works. I am on the elegancia rom and am curious if the people who have managed too get this to work could mention their rom versions. thanks to all.

There is a new WVGA version that came on the new Tilt 2 ROM in Rhodium section. I have been trying to make a cab, but am having issues getting it to connect to the server. If anyone can help me review and modify some of the libraries or dependancies, we can get a new working version made for WVGA devices.

Hey qpr1991, great info. What hd2 do you have - UK or T-mobile? What ROM do you use? Do you know the build-number of your windows 6.5? Do you know what radio you are using? What network are you on? I have to still use my old smartphone because I can't get vlingo to work on htc hd2 yet. I've followed your instructions many times and I am sure they work great, and I am willing to adapt my hd2's configuration to match yours enough to get vlingo working. If you are still around I'd love to hear from you. IF ANYONE GOT THIS TO WORK I'd like to ask you the same questions and maybe we can all cobble together a config that works. Thanks all.

How I finally got Vlingo working on HD2
Pick the Android build of your choice and install it on your HD2, Go to the market and download Vlingo. Works like a charm and you can play Angry Birds in the time you save trying to get it to work in WinMo.

I see Johntheboatcat has a T9193 hd2 - I wonder if qpr1991 also has the T9193? Maybe that's why you guys got it 'mostly working.' I'll look into this, and see why a rhodium and a T9193 would work but not the T8585. I'm still interested in seeing Vlingo work on the hd2. I would love to help with that rhodium cab - I don't know what I could do as far as getting it to connect to the server properly other than regedits or swapping files or .dll's with other cabs to see if that would work. I can also write mortscripts to stitch together partial functionality into something that works. Thanks again.

Hi Johntheboatcat: is that the WinMo Rom you were using when you had partial success with Vlingo? If not, do you know what it was? That's good advice about the Android version of Vlingo. Vlingo is one of the first apps I put on an android build - it is great.

I have the tilt2 with stock rom, vlingo works well, installed plus and still works great. I can say "text ??????" comes up fine, press and hold talk button again, speak my message still works great. but when I click on send nothing happens. I can press and hold talk and say "search for free to air" still works great. just won't send a text message.
