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
2. Install a registry editor (http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities...ryeditor.shtml)
3. Find the registry key of that SIP under:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
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.

1. Installed TouchPal [on Device]
2. Soft Reset
3. Selecting TouchPal goes to default WinMob keyboard
4. Checked the Registry keys HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{802C691C-EB46-442c-BC54-DC2C42B156C3}
under InprocServer32 value of Default is \Program Files\TouchPal\touchpal.dll (this is the path to the program's dll)
5. 2nd Soft Reset
6. Tried selecting TouchPal again still no sucess

what else can be done? I don't have PocketCM installed.

hello all i have XDA mini S wm5 unit..wanted to load 3rd party keyboard which i can do fine..but can i get the damn things to work !! when selecting the the new keyboard (different language) the unit defaults straight back to the keyboard installed..wont even attempt to show the new one..any ideas ? have even change the registration to different code but even doing that still shows default keyboard..do'h
thanks
Hi plasticplanet!
Sounds like the system can't find the DLL for this keyboard.
The simple solution is to re-install it, and make sure you install it in main memory.
The not so simple solution: If you know the name of the DLL for the keyboard, get a registry editor, search for it under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{keyboards CLSID}\InprocServer32
and make sure the DLL is in fact in the path specified.
There is also a chance that the DLL is present but can not initialize for some reason. You should check the following:
Was the keyboard installed properly with its installer as directed?
Does the keyboard support your OS (WM5)?
Is registration required? (licence, key etc.)
hi levenun...thanks for your suggestion..i contacted one of the 3rd party companies about this problem..apparently in wm5 (fecking bill gates) the rom version i have which is 1.5 has a bug in it..apparently the memory used to change keyboards is the same that is used for today screen..so if you have plug-ins it wont allow you to change certain things...the company DynaType suggested that i switch them off and then try it..and guess what it worked after that i could then activate my today plug-ins once more
thanks for having a think about my problem :wink:

No mate, No Blackberry in this ROM probably the next one...
Running it for a few day's now and it's perfect. Thx
Flash junky gotta try........
I just finished installing all my goodies...so far so good.
It's not as snappy as I expected but definately stable, most importantly...everything works. If it survives 2 or more days on my device...you got a winner.
What I liked about this rom is that I use what's already cooked into it...less for me to install & more storage space for me.

Hi WizeMan,
I tried your patch but I had to uninstall it. I couldn´t have changed the lanugage in phonepad. It was always in english. After uninstalling it works OK.

I don't quite get it. What do you mean you couldn't change the phonepad language? Please explain me, because the patch does not affect phonepad nor smart dialing... It just has the correct registry values for SMSDRFix and the new .exe for PPCPimBackup (replaces the old one)
If someone has also installed it... post here m8s
With PhonePad you can use T9 in different languages (I use Czech) and if I install your patch it´s no more possible to use another language but english. You can change it, but if you open the settings once again there is selected english. After uninstalling it, czech language works fine. So I´ve installed just SMSDeliveryfix and it also works as it´s supposed to. I haven´t tried just PIM backup. Maybe it´s caused by it.

1. PIM Backup : Backs up your Contacts , SMS-MMS-EMAIL, Caldendar etc, into a file and you can restore it later using again PIM Backup.
2. Sip Config : Is a nice program made by a user of this forum, in order to configure VoIp function of WM6 (the provider)
3. Pocket Media Player is a freeware Video player that can also decode divx files
4. You can Install the Muns' keyboard cab, it will just replace the ROM's msim.96.dll.0409.mui from the Windows Directory. And of course you 'll get your keyboard.
5. You cannot uninstall TC, as it is into the ROM. I also have Resco Explorer but after a Hard Reset TC will be there ready to help you browse the files.
6. No, the software added (except TCMP which is installed from the extended rom) cannot be upgraded with a cab file that comes from the original software makers, because the file locations on a Cooked ROM are completely different. Only if a Chef re-makes the cab to change the file installation locations it will work.

I tested that (The Phone Pad Problem) and it works just fine. Czech is selected, I also wrote sms with Czech T9 and then in the Language settings tab, Czech was still selected. And of course I have the patch installed.
So, I don´t know. Maybe there was another software collision. Never mind. Btw. I still have your rom ;-)

Nice to hear that, I tried to cook the ROM with the most useful Packages so it is has all the needed software to begin with plus its super fast and lightweight.
My first non-offical ROM
Wizeman I thank you for this ROM.
I've been using it for 3 days and i'am pretty happy with it.
Just that automatic lock thing that I don't know how to disable.
Language pack would be a good idea. I have a French (azerty) wizard.
I finaly succeeded changing the setting but the on screen keyboard is still Qwerty. The word completion is now french and english. If a little software can do this correctly this would be very easy for all non-english people around here.
I'm also waiting for the blackberry edition of this ROM.
Finally got wm6 installed on my spv c600 after afew grooling hours but there is 1 small problem, i cannot wright any text in sms's etc, just comes up as numbers and theres no options for turning t9 on etc. i added the sp5 packes to windows like the post said but it still wont work.
Any suggestions,
thanks
which wm6 version did you install?
this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321665
Its realy bugging me!
You have to install the t9 pack you want to use to the phone (not storage card) then restart the phone.
Im not very good at this, i dunno how to install or where to get the t9 pack from? :s
Here you go, please use the search function next time
Is there a way to make T9 always the default input method?
In Java machine Jeodek i have to select T9 input each time manually, because it always resets to 'abc' input method.
With xT9 this problem is fixed. Once set to xT9, you always have xT9, but with T9 it's not the same
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 ?
Hello,
I need help with this problem that it is driving me crazy. On my WM6.5 23564 cooked ROM I'm now unable to change from the basic keyboard to the FingerKeyboard that came embeded in the ROM.
I'm not refering to place FingerKeyboard as the default SIP input after boot. I mean really making a normal selection of something other than the basic keyboard.
This functionality used to work fine but some app I installed caused this behaviour. I don't know which app.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzNCY2Xkrow
Hoping to solve the problem I tried one at a time (switching the phone off after each try):
- Changing the default SIP input to FingerKeyboard with SK Tools (that toggles it in registry).
- Changing the default SIP input in nueSIPDefault (tool came with ROM) and set time from 10 to 59 seconds.
- Installing another 3rd party keyboard (SlideIt). I was unable to select this one too. Installing FingerKeyboard cab.
- Using SIPChange.CAB recommend on another post about SIP input.
- Using AC_IM_Selector.CAB recommend on another post about SIP input.
- Tried sipswitch.exe from Vijay but I don't know how to use it. When I click on it, it just pops up the basic keyboard.
- Disabling SPB items (wireless monitor, backup, news, time) from appearing on home screen
- And also a tip I saw: 1. Export HKCR\CLSID (will save to a *.reg file) / 2. Del or Rename HKCR\CLSID / 3. Import the backup of HKCR\CLSID / Turn off your device about 15 sec and reset .
None of this worked for me. Ramdonly FingerKeyboard appeared 2 or 3 times, but disappears the same way.
Any idea about a solution to this?
Thanks
Finally I found a workaround that allows me to use other keyboard besides the windows default.
After installing more than 10 keyboards and SIP managing apps I installed EzInput 2.1 QVGA and now it always shows that one. I'm still unable to change to the other installed keyboards like fingerkeyboard or SlideIt, but at least I'm not stuck with only the windows one. Only worked with 2.1. Version 1.5 showed the windows default.
EzInput is far from perfect. I still prefer SlideIt or FingerKeyboard over this one, but I can live with it.
Also tried Biotouch (dll, exe and reg) and it didn't solve the main problem.
...
try these dude:
Show SIP Menu.cab
SIP Change.cab
Sip Config Tool.cab
Rn
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried those but it didn't solve the problem.
"SIP Change.CAB" was one of the tools I mentioned on my first post.
"Sip Config Tool.cab" is not for input methods. It is to configure session initiation protocol. You know... that VoIP protocol, port 5060, registrar, etc.
"Show SIP Menu.cab" doesn't do anything. I searched and it appears to be used to launch a hidden menu in WM6.5 where you can change T9 language. In my phone it didn't launch any menu or added any icon.
