word suggestion FIXED.. perm solution!

so encase anyone else is like me and HATES word suggestion in wm6 i am going to post how to disable it for good (yes u can re-enable it) some roms already have this fix put in.. for example core 2.0 and 2.0n do but xm6.0 doesn't and being that i run xm6.0 along with alot of other people i figured id post this so they can benefit from it too!
now i know your already thinking this has been covered and there is a cab called wsuggfix.cab and yes thats true, however that cab doesnt cover both entries it only covers the one! now i take zero credit for this because it was already done here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291785&highlight=word+suggestion+fix+cab all i did was follow the 2nd post and export the .reg file so that you can import it.
what you have to do is download the attached .zip file it includes 2 files.. wsuggfix.cab and 20070611.reg (which is a export of the 2nd reg key to fix the word suggestion) install the cab file.. wait a few seconds.. go into start > settings > input > word completion and make sure its turned off.. once it is then you can import the .reg file.. wait about 20 seconds and soft reset your device!
maybe someone can pack the cab and the .reg file into 1 single cab file? that would be great! i dont know how to do it sorry!
any questions/comments just ask
have a nice day!

thanks jacob...that was driving me insane!

I opened the cab file and Imported the reg key.... Don't know if it will work or not but thought I would give it a try... Let me know if it works!!

Worked great ran cab file then soft reset no more suggestions.

sorry, but do you know why can't I use the arrows up/down to select words when "word suggestion" is enabled ? I use ROM Pandora 3.1.
Thanks

sms
i apply the fix and registry files and all worked as expected but i want to enable the word suggestion when i type a name in the "to" field of the text messages.
how can i do it?
thankss!

Yep - how can word suggestion be re-enabled again? I'd like to know this one too.

You're a GOD
This is great... finally a miracle
no more word suggestions.. they were always wrong.. so who need them

Re-Enable Word Suggestion
Anyone have a cab to Re-Enable Word Suggestion?

Possible solution
After you install the .cab and apply the registry fix, uninstall the cab. This work for me.

Cannot Uninstall Cab
Unfortunately I have no cab to uninstall as this was part of the cooked WM6 ROM I have loaded. Is there a way to disable it from running in the registry?

Play Time - Registry Settings - Works

Personalizing your roms (B4 Flashing)

Iv'e started this thread after several PMs regarding this topic
Please feel free to post your tips on how to customize/personalize your roms before flashing.

Heres one to start from my inbox before i deleted it

I have done a similar thing, by putting the "owner" info into the rom and changing the registry to remove the "owner info" control pannel applet then when they hard reset they get my welcome note same as you and also they can't disable/change owner details
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you think that you could explain to a n00b like me how you can edit the rom or whatever so that the owner details cannot be changed?
Thanks
Get a registry editor like resco regedit or something like, goto
HKLM\controlpanel\Owner
and add a new string value called
"Redirect" and leave the value blank
now delete the dword "group"
save and reset device
If you are cooking you have to search the registry for the dword "group=0" and change to String "redirect="
Now that I've been around for a little while I will try this now, but If I ever wanted to change the details (say i was to sell it or whatever, which I REALLY don't want to do) what do you do?
The best way is to reflash a standard Rom without your personal details in. if you only want to modify it reverse the registry settings with a reg editor note this must be done after a hard reset every time. best to reflash your custom rom again modifying the settings first.

Shortcut to New SMS in WM6

Hi,
This forum helped me to decide on getting an O2 Orbit 2, so thanks for that..
I have searched for this but haven;t found a solution but forgive me if I am repeating a thread.
I am trying to find a way to add a shortcut to the Today screen that directly opens up a new SMS. At the moment I have to go to messaging>SMS>Menu>New>SMS, which seems very convulted, having come from a standard phone.
Is there any way to do this at all?

Try these. I'm not sure about a today plugin. But these cab's create a shortcut for you in \Windows called New SMS.lnk. You could always copy them to your start menu and uninstall the CAB if you dont want to lose a softkey.

Thanks. Tried them both and the left one just changed the name of the soft key but still pointed to the calendar and the right one changed it to got the route of the SMS directory not to a new SMS message. I uninstalled them but the right one still stays the same
Any way of getting it back to the contacts?

Just un-install the CAB.
It might depend on the messaging software.
The shortcut should point to "\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS"

I did unistall the CAB and it didn't do anything, just removed itself from the Remove Programs bit. The shortcut is no longer there either, so I cannot check it.
Having looked at your CAB file presumably all I need to change it to calendar is find a registry editor and change the settings your CAB made back to "Calendar" and the correct shortcut?

There is a "Softkey changer" app, or a program by schaps called "Advanced Config" both of those will save on the Reg hacking.

The Solution.....
Install the attachment...
You can place a shortcut to "NEW SMS" on your left or right softkey....
PS: Next time search or follow the link on my sign....

Sorted
Hi Guys,
Thanks to both of you for your quick replies and help. I have created a working New SMS on my today screen using the last app and the o2 shortcuts program that comes with the mobile.
Knew this was the right place to come!
PS: I did search and nothing useful came up...
PPS: I also couldn't have read your link on the sign as it is posted in the area that says to not post unless you are a developer or hardcore tecchie. I am neither and so didn't go there. Thanks for the help though.

Over a year later and the information in this thread has proved invaluable for me. Thanks.

The correct solution to directly compose a new SMS with a shortcut is the following:
tmail.exe -transport "SMS" -to ""
Works great on my Tilt2. However, I do think I used the syntax above posted by DaveShaw with a prior WinMo device and it worked. However, it does not work on my Tilt2.
You can also get a lot more complicated such as:
Creating new MMS with given recipients, subject, body and attachment:
tmail.exe -transport "MMS" -to "8005551212" -cc "8001234567" -bcc "[email protected]" -subject "simple subject" -body "simple MMS body" -attach "/My Documents/test.jpg"
Anyone know how to turn these into executables since my today launcher only accepts exe's?

If You haven't got a reply to that yet... You can make a simple mortscript (like runmms.mscr) with Run (tmail.exe etc...) and then have the mortsript dummy.exe renamed to the same runmms.exe which, when executed, results in the desired action.

Restore original shellres

Hey XDA,
I recently used the start text modifier on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426264&page=1
I read it and it seemed to suggest if I rename the included shellres.dll.040C.mui to shellres.dll.0409.mui it would work on my device.
It ended up changing my softkey menus & start menu to French. I wouldn't have a huge problem with that, as I can use Google translate & I know French.
But all my startup programs were lost. With my shortcuts all on WAD2, and access to Settings & Programs on QuickMenu, I couldn't access anything.
A hard reset has done the job, but its still not the greatest solution...
Would anyone know if the shellres file deleted startup entries, or why my start menu did not have settings & programs (just recent)?

Hi,
The problem is very clear : the manual and explanation it the 'Icon-changer' are WRONG. You just can't change the language to any other by changing some reference in the name of a given *.dll... You need to have the correct *.dll for YOUR language. Hence it's not working. Your shortcuts etc. did not disappear, they just didn't have any reference INSIDE the *.dll, so no way to show up.
Bad explanation doesn't mean it's not working. If you like to play around, you first backup your *.dll and the start hexing a copy of that backup. If it's not working as you should expect, you can always use TotalCommander to put back your backup.
Dirk

Ah, thanks sir.
I am relatively new to this, so thanks for giving me some basics.
So I would need to do some kind of hardcore cracking open of the dll, which is out-of-the-question for a newb.

There's nothing hardcore in it Just copy the *.dll you want to change to your PC. Make a backup-copy of it, and open that copy in an HEX editor like XVI32 or such... hack the needed bits and save the file.
Then you copy that hacked file back to your device. Best is to copy it to another place as the original, cos WM won't let you overwrite like that. Therefor you'll need to use TotalCommander.
If it's not acting as you expected, you can replace the hacked *.dll with the original backup the same way.
Dirk

Thanks!
Thanks for the quick responses sir.
I will look into your suggestions. Thanks heaps!
While I need to change the language parts of the *.dll from the other thread, will this also allow shortcuts to show up? Or is it better to edit my current *.dll to change the text that way?

Nope, you'll need to use YOUR *.dll... That's the only one that is integrated in your OS, and has all the connections to your shortcuts.

how do I delete words from my user dictionary ?

I have a mis-spelling in there that keeps popping up and it is pissing me off any ideas?

Ha, I've got the same problem! For some reason it has "the" as "thee." You can imagine how problematic that is! I checked through the settings but I couldn't find it. It's probable in the application management section, but I haven't really looked.
I figured I would just do a complete wipe when I got home from vacation and it should delete the whole thing.
Anyone know how to edit the list otherwise?

You will have to delete the cache. Not sure which. Let me look in my phone and see if I can find it. Which will delete all saved words.
*NOTE* THIS WILL DELETE ALL SAVED USER WORDS.
Go to settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Touch Input > Clear data

the only way to do this is to delete the whole dictionary.
If your phone is rooted, it's really easy, its just a button push in Flipz kitchen
Otherwise go to settings>aplications>manage>touch input> clear data. It won't uninstall it, it will just clear your dictionary and clear your keyboard settings (haptic feedback etc.) but its pretty easy to put your settings back

Ironic that you can remove/edit individual entries to the Moment dictionary. Also funny it came preloaded with "Sprint" "Samsung" and "Moment" as custom words.

Couldn't you pull the db, open it with sqllite and edit it?

somebody know where the db is stored? Maybe we could write an app to do it.

I think I found it at /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/udb
It's not a sqlite db, but just looking at the file it does appear to have some words I've saved along with a lot of other words, might be the entire prediction dictionary?
/sdcard/ime/tubd.dat is also supposed to contain words, but I am not seeing it on my card.

is there a way to edit the file ?

I've been looking at it... and it seems like new words are added to the end. I think the only way to delete a word in the middle of the list is to rewrite the file completely but leave that word out. I just haven't had time to play with it.
