Need EzInput (with phone keypad) for VGA - General Questions and Answers

I know many of these cabs are posted on this forum, but after trying a few search results and installing EzInput cabs from those links, I am still unable to get phone keypad on my Diamond.
Can someone who has a fully functional EzInput (version is immaterial as long as I get phone keypad input)
My apologies if this is posted in the wrong section. But as soon as someone points me to the correct cab, the mods can close/delete this thread.
Thanx a lot.

Moved as not software release.

it's unclear what you ask
do you want
1. a phone pad so when you are in phone mode you get a sunder service
2. you just want a t9 phone pad for typing in sms and the likes
if 1 then you may want to describe what service it is that you request

COURAGE:-) MDAIII - Key remapping project

Hi all ...
we need some (maybe a lot) help from programmers to try to remap the hard keyboard keys from mda3.
As many guys know, we are a lot that we buy the mda3 with german hard keyboard layout... and now that we all have an english os, we must remap the key and symbols.
Any idea will be appreciated, we have all files from german os an english os.
Nobody want to broke the keyboard to glue the buttons in other place...
Nobody now how and where can order another english keyboard and replace it phisically.
Remain two thinks:
1. find the file with the layout and remap the symbols via hex edit
2. recompile a new layout (and here may be usefull for future progs)
All idea wiil be apreciated, all guru's invited
Please help us ... we can not take advantage of the new hard keyboard in this mode.
Thanks all before and...
COURAGE FOR ALL NEW POSTS THAT MUST BE UPDATED(POSTED) !!!

Actually, keys and numbers are fine. It's punctuation that is almost impossible to use unless you have a good memory
From what I remember of the old thread that got wasted, a few things were looked at but it seems harder than it should. You would think one or two files transferred from the PDA2K to the MDA III, like a keyboard dll and a mapping data file, would do the trick but, as usual with engineers, they made it harder than it should.
I can suggest another way for this remapping: just writing a kind of program lookind for keypressings and substitute them with another keystrokes.
I've already done it for Russian keyboard (project home page is http://ae.inc.ru/bahrus.html , but it is Russian only). Current state is "beta".
I can do some key remappings this way. But I need to know which of the keys should be replaced with which one. Or replacement table may be simply saved in config.
I'll do a tabel with the replaced hex value ...
You need only the xex value for this or need more ?
Thanks a lot
Denis
Let's try (before find all remapping simbol) to remap only the two letters z and y.
Symbolic constant Value (Hex) keyboard equivalent
VK_Y 59 Y key
VK_Z 5A Z key
like ... if '59' then '5A' and viceversa...
If we can remap this two letters, we can remap all we want.
Thanks a lot
Denis

Ok, I decided to implement more general solution for this problem and develop customizable hardware key-remapping software. This application wil allow to remap not only BlueAngel built-in keyboard but almost any hardware keybord connected to wince (some of my friends use Luch or Flexis external keyboards with PDA).
Hope first beta version will appear next week.
thank you!, sure i'll be back with more questions though!
Fantastic!
I'm excited about this

Wow, that's great news. (exactly what I wanted to hear!) Keep up the good work. (you rock)
AEKMap is available at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.html
To make "remapping" you need:
- install the program;
- run Start - Programs - AEKMap Settings and choose "AZERTY MDAIII with English ROM" in first combo box
- set three other optional layouts to "unassigned" and/or unassign "switch" key.
If you want to create specific layout, you may start with editing one of the existing. Use \Program Files\AEKMap\AEKMapScan.exe to define keyboard pseudo-scan codes.
To find unicode character codes use Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map on your desktop
This program may be closed with popup menu on system tray (lower-right corner of today screen).
And I'm definitly sure that some bugs are in this utility now. Let me know if you find them
Also send me with your layouts to be published on site (will appear in a days)
P.S.: AEKMapper may be used to remap almost any external or built-in hardware keyboard recognized by system.
AWESOME!
Thanks for doing this. If i understand correctly, what's needed now to get the German MDA III keyboard mapped correctly, following the imate english rom installation, is to:
use AEKmapscan.exe to identify all the keys that need remapping
then look up the correct unicode characters for the desired keymapping
enter them into a .AEK file and put into the Program Files/AEKMap directory on the MDA III.
If i get some free time today, that's what I'll do. If anybody beats me to it, please post!
thanks again, AE!
So here is a mostly working layout file for the MDAIII German. The only thing that seems to be not working is the semicolon/colon key just to the right of the space bar. that key seems to have no shifted mode, according to aekmapscan.exe
also: if aekmapscan.exe is running, this appears to stop the keyboard from working at all in applications. it needs to be stopped entirely.
Thanks again for this great tool!
It is always nice to know your job is needful to someone
As for the problem with semicolon: changing CapsLock/Shift processing flags should help:
HookShift 1
HookCapsLock 1
Probably I'll find a better solution for this later, but now I can't...
Official project home page will be available at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.html
thanks for the tool, works great. Can you add an option to not have the mapping name on the bottom, i.e. DenisJ Layout? It covers up the wireless icon that I use to turn Wifi on & off.
thanks again for the app
you already can turn it off. that's the "hint" option in the settings.
A parts from thanks the great job from AE, i wan't to try to ask a question:
In the registry there's a part...
HKCU/Keyboard Layout that have a profile value..
Could it be usefull..
My German Mda3 have... preload/1 set to e0010409.
Can anyone post the english Pda2K value...
Rups..
Bug report
AEKMap works quite well, thanks to the developer!
But...
I noticed that, when AEKMap is on, you can´t adjust sound/volume levels from the external button on the left side of the screen. Is that a bug or a feature? :roll:
Second thing is that if you switch the AEKMap off, you can switch it on only by softreset. Is that ment to be?
Can anyone confirm those features, or is it just in my MDAIII?
-Jigi
Sorry guys but i just arive from my fisrt (this year) snowboard weekend
AE many many thanks from me and (as can you see) from all other guys with the same german mda3...
I just tryed some days ago to begin something like this using EVC++ 4.0 ... but it's too much to study for an as400 programmer
This will be surrely in my startup programs for a log live time of my mda3...
Surelly we will ask you some options in future ...
Another lot of thanks

Opera Mini Text input problem!

Hello guys, I am new to this forum. I have searched for an answer to my problem already, but couldn`t find any. I have downloaded opera mini for XDA Orbit 2 (same as Touch Cruise). I used the HTC Touch download for it, as a HTC Cruise option was not available...I like it alot, its a fast browser, but how can I put text into the address bar without a hardware keypad? I guess its a simple answer to a stupid question, but I have no access to my software keypad once opera is started. Only option is: "Add symbol" and that is very unconveniant...
Thanks in advance, pTx
I was having this problem in my rokr E6 before and i fix it doing the folowing step.
go to setting and (uncheck the direct address input) and it will be ok
*yawn*
I've answered this question too in my MIDlet Bible... please DO USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION EITHER HERE OR IN THE BLOG!!!
In a nutshell: assign bringing up the SIP to a HW button and you're set...
Thank You! Your nutshell helped.
Actually I did use the search function, but as You probably know yourself, sometimes the search term is not 100% fitting->thus no success. I tried several with no answer at hand. Sometimes not so easy for non-native speakers...This may explain my question. If no one would ask questions or no one would answer them the forum would be pretty empty, wouldn`t it? If You think this question has been posted tons of times, You may delete the thread anyway.
Greetings from Magdeburg, Germany, pTx

iGO8 & Samsung Omnia - Problems...

Friends,
I am using iGO 8.00.35389.
It works only in landscape mode. Otherwise it says failed open ui_iog8\120_200\loading.bmp
This problem is faced by many, as I was going through lot of threads and forums.
Those who are enjoying iGO8 on their Omnia can help us.
1. Is it possible to use iGO8 without doing the pre-work of the changing it to landscape?
2. Is it possible to use iGO8 in Portrait mode?
I am sure many of you have YES for atleast one of these questions.
So could you help us please?
We are really fed of searching data.zip & sys.txt and ending up with wrong files.
So Please...
1. Upload the necessary files (I am sure all the files will be less than 10 mb)
2. A step-by-step procedure.
By doing so, you are helping us and proving the very basic purpose of this forum.
Thanks for all your answers!
-Ari

the latest official update...
...of iGo8 will solve some of the most seen "bugs" when using the software with Omnia.
The first one: It will run in both portrait and landscape modes.
The second one: Time zone adjustments are no longer necessary (some earlier version of iGo8 put the phone to "Minsk" time zone).
The necessary files are quite large, definitely far more than 10MB, I got the download from the official supplier.
In the sum, both of your questions can be answered with "yes".
Which version

Landscape keyboard writing a SMS + various questions on TD2

Hi !
First of all I'd like to apologize for my English, actually I'm French... But since there is no French XDA community I will do my best to understood...
I've recently bought an HTC Diamond 2, but I'm disappointed because of the keyboard when writing an SMS with touch flo indeed, I don't manage to have my phone in landscape mode with the big keyboard, and only get the small one in portrai mode. Is there any software or hack to get it ?
Moreover can you tell me the software the most useful, I've already setup the ATI drivers, and Advanced config tool (which I'm a bit afraid to use, is there any guide ?). Any softwares which would improve my way of using this phone ?
Last question, what about the SMS memory ? how much SMS can we keep in memory in the phone ?
Once again sorry for my English, I did my best.
Thanks in advance !
Victor
Go to the settings tab of the TouchFlo, at the bottom (you have to scroll down with your finger) you will find G-Sensor, click it and turn on Auto Rotation. This should enable auto rotate in SMS.
As for number of SMS, it is practically unlimited, I have more than 2000 SMS's in my TD2.
thanks for your answer, but it doesn't work, I am not triying to have the keyboard rotate in the windows mobile messenger software, in this one it does very well.
But when you receive a message in the touch flo tab, you press on it so that you can answer (but you're still in the touch flo interface), but here the keyboard doesn't want to rotate....
I think that you are selecting the message which effectively takes you to the people tab and the threaded message where I dont think the keyboard will rotate.
You can however click on 'menu' then 'reply' where the keyboard should rotate for you there. hope that helps
By the way using Advanced config should be quite safe to use. the latest version advises you on what the default settings are and what the advised settings are so it is pretty straight forward.
Just dont try changing things you are unsure of or post a question on here and i'm sure someone will answer specific questions
I finally have my question solved thanks to a topic here which explained how to make the TouchFlo 3D rotate.
Thanks to your answers !

larger qwerty keyboard

is there a landscape qwerty input type available that has larger keys?
Resco's Keyboard is Full Screen when in portrait mode. All keyboard vary in functionality. I personally like EzInput because of its simplicity. Other keyboards seem to throw too many options and stuff in there to please everyone.
Simplicity is the reason why the iPhones SIP keyboard is considered awesome (plus the compacitive screen)
I'm very new to the world of Windows Mobile, (i used to work with android/iPhone OS)
It's probably a stupid question, but how do i install EzInput?
Thanks in advance!
read 2nd answer
My diamond2 is 6.1, so it doesn't have EzInput.
Do you have a link/tutorial to flash it to 6.5?
Stupid questions don't exist mate Everyone has to start from the beginning. A good beginning is the search option and the wiki, that's how i learned a lot.
Now to get back to your question, look here for a lot of info on ezinput as well as other keyboards:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534678&highlight=ezinput
Thanks for the help.
I searched already on this forum / on the internet, but I didn't find any clear posts.
I'll try those links
I think I installed EzInput now, but I don't see any change of the keyboard...
Do I have to change a setting or something else?
(Do you have a link where I can see/read how to flash 6.5 on my diamond?)
I guess yours came default with that.
Well ofcourse i've got a link for you but first...
A quick guide:
Select your phone here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Read everything you can find about flashing cooked rom's, radio's and hardspl
The choice of your radio is very personal, it's different for each country but very important 'cause it basically give you good signal
The choice of the cooked rom is very personal. Some put speed over graphics whilst others like it the other way around
It's very important and the first step of flashing to start with HardSPL'ing your device. If you don't start with that you won't be able to do anything with 6.5
After that you can choose your rom and read all the info that the cook (a rom builder) has provided for the users, there are quite some differences and things to know and learn about roms in these posts. To install a rom you need CustomRUU (installer) and some even support flashing from your microsd card.
The last part is to always hard-reset your device after you've completed 1 of the 3 basic steps. Be aware that you'll loose all the data on your phone, it's basically to turn i to the first point after you've installed the rom. So don't start installing things right away...first try a few roms 'cause you might like another one better.
Last but not least, the radio, well my friend you'll just have to read about it 'cause it depends on your region etc. That one can be flashed after you've done the first 2 steps and it basically goes the same way as flashing a rom. But first things first...start your search for hardspl!
I've taken all these steps for example from the topaz. Some devices might have other routines,...i focus on my device only, 'cause otherwise it's just too much info.. and all the info that's on this forum might be confusing at first (let's face it, there's a lot of info.) But nevertheless, my experience is that people are willing to help others here. There's a solution for everything here, if you know how and where to look.
Start reading and have fun...

Open up your standard keyboard (in SMS for example), click on the small arrow next to the middle keyboard icon and go to "Other input options".
EzInput should be listed there, select it and youÆre good to go!
If you wish to set EzInput as default keyboard, even after restart of your device, use SIP change application. Remember to set the time-delay to 40-50 seconds!
Here are some linx to freeware keyboards;
