PocketCM Keyboard

Just a quick question - I'm getting a little confused here...
Does PocketCM-Keyboard run on the Polaris or not (I hear there's some problems with XT9)?
If it does: would there be a guide on how to set it up properly (apart from what's on the PocketCM Homepage)?
Thanks a lot!

It runs on my Polaris.
Take just the .Cab on PocketCM Homepage if you don't want to take the .Exe.
After installing, do a soft reset and it will be OK.

I heard that you have to disable xt9. Is that not the case?

Nope. XT9 only come as default input mode for pocket contact manager. PocketCM keyboard is totally different and a lot better than the default keyboard.

I wasn't referring to Pocket Contact. I heard from other Touch owners that you would need to disable xt9 in order for other kb's to work properly throughout the rest of the system. One of the examples would be using a regular kb when typing in a contact name in the email address to field.

Solution! German Keyboard / "Umlaute" (Fn+Space) working with english 6.1 !!!

Solution! German Keyboard / "Umlaute" (Fn+Space) working with english 6.1 !!!
Ok guys and girls,
the title may sound like i know what I'm doing, but I'm a noob to all of this after all. Still I managed to get the "Umlaut"-function (Fn + Space) working on an english 6.1 ROM. The ROM running my German TYTN II is L26_KaiserDiamond_V9.
Ok, so here's what I did:
1. set Keyboard layout to "German" in AdvancedConfig
2. changed value of registry key HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang from 409 to 407
3. installed XDA_JCEspi2005_German_Input_Kaiser.cab (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=345426)
4. copied the file "sym.0409.txt" (located in DEVICE \Windows), renamed the copy to "sym.0407.txt"
et voilá!
I guess step 4 is what did the trick... even though I still can't believe that the solution was this simple. Someone else give it a try... maybe on a different ROM. Would be cool if this was the definitive solution.
greetings,

Yes but it is also important to disable XT9 with KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig. Otherwise the Fn + Space dose not work for me.

thank your very much,
works perfect for me, too
bye andré

Hi,
does not work with my ROM (3.28.405.0 WWE) with WM6.1 Prof.
I have still the QWERTY keyboard.

Notice: For me this only works with the Hardware keyboard (L26_KaiserDiamond_V9). If someone knows a method to change the software keyboard (Windows Default) it would be very nice.

after 2 softresets it works also for me, but also only the hardware keyboard. for the software keyboard i take pcmkeyboard.

You can also try those 2 in combination, works and is a little bit easier ;-)

as I stated, this reactivates the "Fn+Space"-Umlaute on your keyboard.
no idea why one would think that this has any affect on the softkeyboard... but here's the suprising solution for you: install a german softkeyboard! i'm sure you'll find one on xda-devs.

Oh i searched a little while for it but i did not found any useful.

For the hardware keyboard have you tried to change the value of registry key HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/KEYBD/CurLang from 409 to 407
And then HKCU/MUI/CurLang 409 changed to 407 (Hexadecimal).
Then softreset and after that install XDA_JCEspi2005_German_Input_Kaiser.cab
And then softreset again.
In some roms i could not find one of the registry keys but then it was enough to change the other.

then give this one a try. As many different KB layouts as you could wish for, including national characters (although only 2 at a time, switch-able by a key next to R-ALt). @ the mo, I'm using Polish and Norwegian.
NO, I'm not affiliate, just a happy user.
Ah yes, it's NOT free, but at 9.99 PLN (or 2.99 €) anyone can afford it.
And YES, it IS skinnable.
DL a trial version, give it a shot, see for yourself.

With me I can now type fn + space but the Y is a Z and vice versa
What else can I do than reading and searching ?

Easyest way to do this:
With a Registry Editor, search and edit the key to the following value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"CurLang"=dword:00020407
Or download patch below...

The patch doesn't work for me, changed nothing :hmm:
What did the trick was
Regedit [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"CurLang"=dword:00020409 to 00020407 for German, other language see here
Install Jespis German/language cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1673274&postcount=2
Result is qwertz and after vocale Fn+Space = "Umlaut" + German dictionary
Thanks and greets,

Keyboard layout
It worked on my Kaiser! All symbols were messed up, but now it's ok. Thnx a lot, cartonneexpress!

Raphael English keyboard fix... anyone?

When using a Fuse cooked rom on the TP/Raphael, the hardware keyboard layout gets messed up (numbers and other keys)
does anyone have the default english layout registry?
based on the german language fix cab, i presume the layout is stored under the following registry keys:
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD
HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyBoardMapping
HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyBoardMapping\ToNum
HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyBoardMapping\ToSD
if that would cut it (PROs please confirm!), i'd appreciate it if someone with a stock english touch pro backed up those registry sections and sent them over

Have you tried using advanced config to change your keyboard lay out?

Old thread, but you are full of win mate. This sorted the issue that's been driving me mad for months. Orsm.

disabling the 'black' text line above the input line?

Hello friends,
is there a way to disable the black text line in TP that shows the letters typed in? it seems to cause a massive delay in text input.
The best would be if i could revert to the "old" WM 5 or even 2003 when the text is input immediately into the message, and in case complete option is enabled then the words are on the screen and not in this black line.
Thanks in advance.

You want to disable eT9. Go into the registry and change to this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
"Ime File"="compime.dll"
then soft reset. that disables eT9 and leaves you with the windows mobile standard IME.

I do'nt think you need to go into the registry settings? Just open up the onscreen keyboard, and switch from T9 --> ABC

Thanks a lot Da_G for understanding what i wanted (although my poor explanation) and the great solution - works like a charm.
Just turned the TP from great to perfect machina.
Thanks,

[Q] How to switch off spell check (xt9) on ChaCha

I'm using polish language on my chacha. When i write sms i see in notification bar information that xt9 En is enabled. So that everything i write in polish is underlined. I just hate it. Is there any possibility to remove that spell checking? or somehow use polish one? there is no configuration for this under menus i guess. Or I'm just serching in wrong one ;/
i'm on 1.52 with s-off and @fullbring_v2_eu

go to settings -> language & keyboard -> touch input -> hardware keyboard settings -> prediction (un-check this option)

Nah, i'm not talking about text prediction.
What i mean is that i have prediction off but english spellcheck is on underlining my polish words, as they don't exist in english dictionary. And under menu you mentioned, there is no option to disable it, or change dict language.

Yea, im having similar issue. Im using EU global rom.
Until today my language for typing messages was "Eng" (when you start typing message you will see small square on right side in notification bar, next to clock saying "Eng") and i was typing normally, without any issues.
Today i had OTA update of my ChaCha and my typing settings changed to "Eng xT9." Since im using Serbian language to type my messages it pointless to say that my every word gets underlined in red as incorrect word since it was not in english dictionary.
Its pretty much annoying to see your complete message underlined in red, and its lowering visibility of letters. Is there any way to disable "xt9" or change to normal "Eng?"

I found semi-solution. I installed Smart Keyboard from market and used it as default input method, and disabled all predictions spell corrections etc. it is not showing up with touch buttons and running in background so you can use your hardware keyboard as usuall.
hope it helped

I have the same problem, Azerty hardware keyboard and my language is installed in Dutch really annoying that every word is underlined!

so i have this problem too...i am coming from austria and we are using the htc chachas frequently for email checking and answering...
is there any solution now to solve this problem...i have also showing up the xt9 EN logo on the notification bar and i can't get away the red underline on each word.
i am using 1.54 with S-OFF

Can you guys perform a small check?
Set your phone's language to your country and start typing again. I have a hunch that xt9 is activated automatically by the ROM in the phone's language.

nope, already tried this...
switched from german (doesn't matter if i choose austrian, german or swiss version) to english and back again....
i think only in the original s-on country locked 1.18 version was a spellcheck for german, this was also the only version which hast the right qwertz keyboard.
now with cid 1111111 and original 1.54 there is no qwertz keyboard (even if i choose german language) and also no german spellcheck...
ok i can deactivate the dictionary funktion, but the spellcheck which underlines every word in red, i can't....
can you find out, which file does this spellcheck, so i just can delete it or do whatever it takes, to stop working.... i don't want a german spellcheck or a dictionary, i just want it to stop underlining f#####g words P

Is this available on the stock ROM?
Menu -> Settings -> Locale and text -> keypad -> XT9 [ ]
Tick XT9 for predictive text. Then go into XT9 advanced settings and fiddle about. There are tick boxes for Spell correction and so on.

nope... we only have to edit dictionary or to sync it , under keyboard settings (
no xt9 mentioned

I have the same problem
Alex, i don't have that section under settings..
running 1.52

HEUREKAAAA... i have the solution
it couldn't be easier...i am so dumb, really...!
to change the language of xt9 from EN to any other (in my case DE) just press FN + Spacebar to open a menu, where you an choose the XT9 language...
now i do not have anymore red underlines when i am typing an email or any other text in german...yihaaa!!!
update: now the dictionary is also in the right language...awesome-oooo
update2: for all those people who have keylayout problems after s-off and thinking this could ix it....it won't...this is for spellcheck and dictionary only...the keylayout files have to be edited by hand like we know it

OMG, and i pressed that combination so many times by mistake, but i exited it immediately. anyway, no help for me there, romanian not provided :lol
