it doesn't work on windows mobile v6.1
says 'This is not supported on this platform type'..

Do we have a definite solution for this now.
i am also facing the same problem on my HTC TILT 2.
The mobile is not displaying Indian fonts. Instead it just displays boxes. Annoying
I would really appreciate any help on this.

My OEM Packages to Share

I know you can get them from other places either in CAB or in OEM Packages. However, it's just too difficult to get them all together.
So I present you some of the OEM packages which I collected, extracted or created for use in my ROM.
1. The first one is taken from Schaps' ROM. It's a 3G-Battery with Indicator. I didn't ask Schaps' permission for this. I hope he's cool with it.
2. O2 Backup is taken from O2 Life and has been fixed to work on all devices. It allows you to backup PIM & My Documents data
3. O2 SMS Plus v1.6 is also taken from O2 Life. It's sorta like SMS Threaded applications. It also allows you to send/receive vCard from other dumb phones. It also support group SMS & Scheduled SMS
4. HTC Album v1.1030.720. Taken from a CAB file with fixed English Interface (Originally Chinese). You can choose which Folder to browse.

Here are another 4 Packages:
1. Newer version of HTC Home v2.1.105.722
2. Adobe Flash Lite v2.1 with the Cool HTC Animation from Schaps
3. Schaps' Advance Configuration v1.1
4. Palm Threaded SMS with fixed database folder. Instead of in Windows Directory, I patched the database to be stored on 'My Documents' folder for easy backup. You need to rename your backup SMS data from 'PalmMsgv001' to 'Palm01' and copy it to 'My Documents' folder.

Another 4 Packages
1. KeepAlive is a very old freeware from WinCE days. It prevents your PPC from turning Off. It's very usefull when you need to let you device on all the time.
2. PowerOff is another old freeware from Scott Seligman. It just shows a tiny PowerOff buttons at the Today Screen.
3. O2 Smart Text is also taken from O2 Life. It's just another thumb inputs with T9 capability. Good for One-Handed Operation
4. Picsel PDF Viewer. Taken from PPCGeeks. A superb PDF viewer compared to Adobe offering.

I downloaded all but I couldn't install even a single one.
These are not cab files nor installation .exe files nor a folder placed in the machine to run off with.
What are they? If these are for ROM cooking only then they are outside what most of us want to deal with.

These are OEM packages for ROM cooking and since this is the upgrading forum its the right place for things like this to be posted (IMO).

I personally wouldn't mind a separate forum for cooking, as some of the questions here are rather 'off topic' from ROM upgrading (flashing) or cooking, since installing an application is not an UPGRADE in any sense of the word...
Until then, it seems like this is the right place for this...
Thanks for your contributions [email protected]...

wow...a package for palmsms...hopefully it works.

Thanks for the packages! Am sure some cookers will find these handy!

how to benefit from thsoe if you are not a cook?
Hello,
a lot of thsoe packages look really useful, but, noby uses them so far in the offical release ROMs.
Cooking your ownROM still sounds intimidaing to me (and mybe others), so is there an easy to get thsoe as cab files, or is it posible to cook a delta ROM just adding those pakcages to one of the release ROMS?
Thanks
Juju

As requested by you here or via PM. Here are the CAB files for the OEM packages.
The 3G Battery Level will replace a system file. So you need to install Certificate CAB to allow the installation.
For Keep Alive, PowerOff, Advance Configuration, just copy the execute file to your Kaiser. No installation is needed.
HTC Home & Album CABs are widely available so I won't post them again. To change the HTC Album to English menu (from Chinese) you need to copy the 'RFileShell.dll' from Resco Explorer english Version.
Enjoy!

There is another nice application called O2 Theme which works well with kaiser. This is the WM6 version of O2 Plus. To learn about this, you can go to this thread I posted in Athena board:

Subject: M8 help hint
hello developers
your product M8 is very good!
one more idea, to improve usability:
make an option to let keyboard appear from top of screen, till the middle.
the reason is: some applications have text input field at the bottom, but doesn't recognize keyboard allocated this place. and doesn't redraw it's input field higher (on the top of new appeared keyboard), so application text input field becoming invisible until the end of input.
another solution on same problem:
make your keyboard application it's own temporary input window on top of keyboard.
(it may optionally include increased font size for better visibility on street)
will be waiting for your reply, and a new version
thanks
now, let's wait for new release of it (under name of O2 or standalone M8)

Palm Threaded SMS changed database folder

I guess this is somewhat helpful because it's easier to back up the My Documents folder than find PalmMsgv001 in \Windows and back that up.
However, I hardly ever put anything into \My Documents because of the chance of forgetting about backing it up before flashing a new ROM. Hopefully someday we'll see a Threaded Messaging app that has more options - like save folder, and font size (the font is so tiny!). That's why I liked TxtMan - but it crashes too often, and isn't completely integrated into the Windows messaging system.

if someone could fix palm to work on the kaiser thatd be fabalous.. i know im jumping off topic but im willing to offer up $25.00!

Custom dictionaries in windows mobile 6?

Hey all,
Ive been looking for a while now for a solution to this. A large portion of the words I use with transcriber (the write-on-screen text interpreter) are not known by whatever dictionary is in use. I see a section in transcriber options to ADD DICTIONARY. It looks for .dct file format, and all of the .dct files i have downloaded are not in the correct format, and cant be added to transcriber.
1) Where can i download custom word lists to add, and increase the vocabulary of WM6 transcriber? (a .dct/word list with computer terms for example) URLs would be helpful.
2) How can I edit/add custom words to my list? I was using dictmgr on windows mobile 5, but for 6 I cant find any programs to edit my dictionary, and 'autocomplete' words for the screen keyboard.
Any help or info would be much appreciated.

Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Read/Write Chinese

I'm using a Motorola "Napoleon" Q9N running Windows Mobile 6.1.
I'm trying to find a way to AT THE VERY LEAST, read the characters. I don't mind if I can't write the characters, but I would like to if possible. I tried installing CE Star, but for some weird reason, when I tried to send an SMS message, it just sends out @ symbols whether I type English or Chinese characters and it only lets me user the number pad when the Q as a full QWERTY keyboard (which seems like a waste of time, but I understand why).
Does anyone know of a way I can at least get the fonts working? I've found different ways, but I'm afraid to try them cause usually they are written for PPC or WM5 and I'm not sure if it's valid or not.

just change your font to Arial Unicode MS (arialuni.ttf)... 22 MB file.

How do I do that? Is that just a simple registry edit? Can you be a bit more specific? Is the font installed by default or do I need to find it somewhere?

HOWTO: Change Default Font in WM6:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334781
arialuni.ttf is in your Windows computer's font directory.

Just tried his instructions, and it gave me a black screen upon a battery pull. I tried using 2 different remote registry editors, but both gave me a could not write to error. I had to use PHM and do it by hand.
The last edit that was in the guide was not present in my registry, neither. Not sure why these instructions were a bit off. Maybe he was editing a PPC when I have a smartphone?

[Q] About registry editor

Hi dear,
I have a problem to install the registry editor via Application Deployment.
I just registered as a developer yesterday and registered my phone today so it's unlocked.
But when I tried to deploy that file, it shows
Error - 0x081030120
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
I was about to add my first language to my phone
Please let me know how to solve this or how to add my own language!
Oh I'm currently using 7720 not the beta 2 for developers.

You can not side load without doing a registry change first when you get to Mango and how you do this depends on your phone (HTC, Samsung, etc). But even then the side loaded registry editor will not even run anyway. If you have an HTC you have to use the provxml method (search the forums). If you have an Samsung or other device you will have to search (I have an HTC so am familiar with it). But, again, there is no third party registry editor that runs right now on Mango that can directly change the registry.

registry editor can only be used before 7661. Maybe you have to re-brush machine
In the 7392 version of Prison Break
for example(chinese),Run the registry, enter [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ MUI \ available], you can see has 2 language files, according to the above format, a new value (item): 0804 writing the first column, second column write: Chinese (Simplified) ,
you can enter you need language code

Will the registry change be remained after updatin to mango
