Hi!
I need for my app the function of changing the T9 language WM uses, for example between Norwegian and Swedish, if those are the languages installed.
Can't seem to find anything valuable on google or at msdn, does anybody know of a registry key, API or similar that might be helpful?
I have bought a Samsung SHG-i640V for my wife, and it of course doesn't have Norwegian T9 since it's not made for Norway. I tried to install a few different T9 types, but I'm getting nowhere fast. They install, but suddely there's no T9 option at all. Can anybody help me with this?
Hello,
Apologies beforehand if this is not in the correct place.
Being a new owner of the BenQ E72, I am trying to adapt the phone to my native language (Greek). The phone features Windows Mobile 6 Standard and supports the Greek language in terms of regional settings; however, it's not possible to type in Greek either via the numeric pad or T9 (absent).
After browsing these forums (and a lot Google-ing), I've collected some T9 Greek components in order to try to add the Greek language to it. Careful examination of the registry does not provide any clues about the existance of xT9, so I assume that the phone features the "standard" T9 (the 'old' one).
The problem is that even if the Greek T9 is recognized, it does not work on all applications, particularly the Messaging application (SMS). When the Greek T9 IME is selected, I cannot enter any words and the phone just beeps. The rest of the system correctly recognizes the Greek T9 IME and I can use it (e.g creating a new task, typing in Greek using T9 is possible).
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance.
No ideas about this?
Hi all!
A lot of users want to use several input languages in their devices. Why not cooking a really multi-language ROM supporting UIs in different languages and multiple keyboard layouts? It is possible as some devices (e.g. Samsung OmniaPro) are delivered with a ROM supporting UI and HW/SW keyboard resources in several languages which every user can switch. I've also read about such custom ROMs for HTC Touch. Additionaly, in ROMs for non-latin languages (like Russian, Chinese) user can switch between latin and national keyboard layout by pressing the SYM button, and there are solutions like AEKMap.
What is to be done to create a ML ROM work, is to integrate
1) *.mui system files for several languages
2) an app (basically a registry updater) where user can activate a particular UI language and which keyboard layouts (one, or two, or maybe three?) have to be switched by pressing the SYM button.
My personal use case is as follows: I own a HTC P4350 with standard German ROM (6.0) and QWERTZ layout and need two things: 1) the additional Russian input for the hardware keyboard and 2) Russian UI. The only way now is flashing a Russian ROM - which will alas change QWERTZ (Ger) to QWERTY (Eng) and then using a tweak to set the layout back to QWERTY (yes, I've read those threads).
I've experimented a little bit without flashing, just by copying *.0419.mui files to the device (0419 for RU) and editing the registry like advised in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366756. However there is obviously more to be changed or added than I could discover. The best method to catch all the differencies is probably to compare two registries of same ROM version but in different languages, or to check solutions for other devices.
What do you think? Can someone try to cook a ML ROM? No matter WM 6.0, 6.1 or 6.5.
You see the main problem in doing that is the conflicts that would occur in creating a ml ROM.
But what we can do is install apps like FingerKeyboard with ml support and doing as you're doing.
But the conflicts I am talking about may render your device useless.
Tribulattifather, thanks for your point.
1. Why should there be conflicts with P4350 if there are apparently none with other devices? Which conflicts for example?
2. FingerKeyboard is for the screen keyboard, but I'm talking about the hardware keyboard.
Look at this:

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa913008.aspx
I apologize, I forgot to mention the problems in my last post. You see, I have actually tried to adopt a similar theory. The problems that I faced where in the process of cooking the ROM. The ROM would not boot. And when I finally got 1 ROM that was a German/WWE combo, the device would constantly shut down because the device was trying to call to an operation expecting one thing and getting another.
But maybe we can figure something out from an already cooked ROM in WWE. I will experiment and let you know what I find out.
Tribulattifather, what you describe sounds more like a kitchen problem, because, as I've already mentionned, there are official multilingual WM ROMs. I have another mobile device, a Samsung OmniaPro P7330, which runs under official WM6.5 with a ROM supporting English US, English UK, German, Italian, French and Spanish UIs. There is a menu item in Regional Settings for switching the UI, it requires a soft reset, and voila, after the reboot everything is in another language (but not the keyboard layout).
On the other hand, official ROMs for non-latin languages like Russian support two input methods, one for Russian and one for English.
It would be great to figure out how it works. Can a look into registry dumps from a Herald with Russian firmware and from my multilingual-UI'ed smartphone help you?
Hi, for whatever reason Microsoft decided not to add Czech XT9 dictionary to Mango. They had it in Beta 1, but removed for Beta 2 and decided not to add it to RTM. This left the Czech WP7 community with the dictionary itself (extracted from Mango Beta 1 ROM), but no way to add it into a phone running Mango.
Is there any way to insert the dictionary into the phone and make it work? We found a registry key named XT9 Input Method, but we don't know, if it's related. Did anyone experimented with XT9 on Windows Phone? THX
Czech dictionary
Same question here for all skilled WP7 registry/rom hackers - is it possible to 'activate' Czech dictionary on Mango final by changing some registry values or not?
Currently it's possible to activate Czech language in Mango by adding new registry value into hklm\MUI\Available... but what about the XT9?
Same problem here
This goes for all languages even Eng.... wtf?
LOL IDIOT! I forgot taht the menu in Mango is different. You have to enable the xt9 haha
so there is no XT9 dictionary function on Mango?
miss the autotype function on Blackberry
