tegic xt9 crash course? how do I add new words?

How do I add new words using xt9 in the excellent wm6 rom? I've managed to install and use scandinavian t9 (and also managed to re-enable english, since it disappears when installing scandinavian t9 ;-)). But I can't figure out how to add my one words. Does anyone have a manual?

All you need to do is change to ABC input, by holding the *t9 key (bottom left hand side key) and selecting ABC. Then type the word you want. Next time you input with XT9 you will see that it has learned your word.

Thanks, man. It works great. This explains why I've managed to store some words and not knowing how.

How can you enter hundreds of words into the database simultaneously????
I use winmo 6.1 btw...

Can't Read Chinese words after upgrade

Hi Guys,
Is there anyway that i can read chines in WM6?
Thanks

if you want a Chinese ROM, try this one: http://www.coolcode.cn/andot/window...t-simplified-chinese-song-edition-v2-released

Thanks...
The english rom is fine for me... but i can't read chinese words and text in chinese...

That's because the chinese font is not installed

where can i get the chinses font?

andot,
first of all, you've done a great job on the updated WM6 ROMs. but as of now, those who use english interface and need to read and compose chinese occasionally have dilema on which ROM to choose. the only available one is WWE you released some time ago but it is quite outdated and buggy.
we are requesting for you to release an updated version on WWE where users can have the best of both worlds (English interface + chinese language support like those found in original dopod 577w) including bug fixes such as camera, GPRS issues, Wifi, comm manager, etc. i like the fact that much of the UI is untouched with no fancy clocks or bars in the old WWE build.
once again, THANK YOU very much for your hard work!

Just install Ce-star2.8 for Sp on top of andot's perfect version. That is what did.

I downloaded Cestar2.8, but when i install it said that my phone has already installed with the software, need to uninstall it first....but the issue is i never installed the software ...
anyone can help?

Don't know what is your problem. I installed it smoothly and now after nearly a month it still is working good.
P.S the WWE version has a terrible interface. The font is much uglier. I prefer the perfect english version.

Finally i can read chinese words and sms in chinese after searching up and low... but now there is a minor issue with the wording on top of the bar when navigate to the menu, programs and submenu (ie Start, Messaging...).
Is there anyway i can over come this?
ps: Currenly i'm using the simyou.ttf font with some registry modification..
Thanks

Problem solved... now the title font has been changed back to the default font...

Mind to post what you did?
I managed to get T9 working, but I only see boxes, which means that the font is not installed properly, so I did some registry changes to include some font, but still I see boxes

This seems weird, eventhough I see boxes, but my T9 Stroke and T9 Pinyin are opposite, stroke is pinyin and vice versa

this what i did
This is what i did:
1. copy simyou.ttf to \windows\fonts in my phone
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]
"FontPath"="\windows\Fonts"
2. copy segoe.ttf and segoeb.ttf to \windows\fonts
3. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]
"FontPath"="\windows\Fonts
4. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\Sys temLink]
"Segoe Condensed"="\windows\Fonts\simyou.ttf,YouYuan"
5. reboot my phone
hope this help.

Greek T9 & 160 characters

Hi,
I have spent the last week trying to get a greek keyboard with T9 on my AT&T Fuze (Raphael/HTC Touch Pro), and for the life of me, nothing has worked. I see Greek characters (say on Phone Pad layout) but when I tap on the screen, nothing gets displayed. Only spaces do and symbols.
Once I get that, I am hoping to find a way to enable 160 characters (convert message to capitals).
I am running RRE HTC Fuze Rom 4.4.5 Special Edition. I am willing to give any other rom a chance provided I can type Greek and English using T9 (but English UI please).
I have tried, or at least I want to believe, everything on the forums.
First, I tried NitroGenious's Greek-English cab (I used his Rom on my T-Mobile SDA (Tornado) and worked amazingly well). -> No Greek on menu, probably because this was for a smartphone.
Then I tried T9 Input 14 Languages Update (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402121) and that gave me greek symbols on the display (software) keyboard, but when I try to type a word using Phone Keypad or other keyboard layouts, I don't get suggestions or anything (of course I have turned on all T9 options: Spell Correction, Word Completion in T9 mode, Word Completion in ABC mode, Auto-Substitution).
Then I tried using some other (non HTC) keyboard layouts and their T9s.
First I tried whc_SM_Keyboard_+_eT9_M_v1.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3057424&postcount=1). That gave me Greek as well, but no T9 for Greek.
Then I tried HTC Phone Pad (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312235), and this one worked but the VGA version only has English. The International version keyboard was 1/2 the screen in width, which made it very difficult to press buttons. I would prefer to stick with default keyboards in ROM but if this can work, I would be ok with it.
Third, I tried MoDaCo_Vox_eT9_Language_Pack.cab, and that didn't five me T9 either.
Last, I tried fingertouchpro_2.0_rc7.cab and that was just wrong (+ the greek didn't work).
And I wouldn't pay for T9 in a million years.
Obviously, I had to hard-reset my device many times already, which I am ok doing until I can find a solution.
If I need to make any changes to the registry (point to png, kdb and ldb files), I am fine with doing this if anyone knows the keys and values.
All I need is T9 in Greek that works with my HTC Touch Pro (English T9 works fine). If I can see the Greek characters, even better. If not, I'll use my intuition.
If I can get that, then it would be awesome if I can get something to be able to write 160 greek characters (Capitals). In the past there used to be something called SMS160, but that was quickly removed because it is owned by Ace Hellas. Any alternatives?
Any help would be wholeheartedly appreciated.

[Q] Import dictionary into stock keyboard

I always used swiftkey on my N1. Now I have a Nexus S and I really like the stock keyboard, but there is no Dutch dictionary on the Nexus S.
Is it possible to import a custon(Dutch) dictionary into the stock keyboard? That would be really nice

You could try this package I created from CyanogenMOD 7 for Nexus S. It can however be installed on ModacoROM as I have and probably also stock nexus s.
It has the dutch keyboard/autocorrect hidden under 'Italian'. I didn't know how to get it under its own language. So I abused the Italian language for that.
I'm not sure if you need root either to install, anyway good luck with it.
If you have successfully installed it, you'll get another Android keyboard in your language and keyboard menu. Select the languages you want and Italian for the dutch dictionary. Please be aware you need to set them in both settings when you click "Input Languages" (it asks you to complete action using).
Should be fairly safe, you can remove it under manage applications and then choosing "Android keyboard". The stock keyboard that ships with the device itself and can't be removed afaik.
good luck.

Is it possible to add custom keyboard languages (that are defined in the SDK) without root?

I think you would need to build/compile it from AOSP. What I'm doing is probably quick and dirty but it works (I'm still new to this android development). Think you need root though to install this.
If you like I could try and make another APK with Swedish keyboard/autocorrect hidden under the Italian language.

That would be awesome!

Oke. Here is the Swedish APK. Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action).
Might need a reboot to have it work, didn't need it here. Also I'm on a rooted nexus s and haven't tested it without root.
I'v tried removing it from application management, which works. After that you are back to the stock keyboard. Looks safe so far
have fun..
note: I used adb install LatinIME.apk to install this.

Thanks, I've tried but can't get it to work. What do you mean with: Select Italian 2 times when you try to select the input languages (for each action)?
EDIT: Okay, understood. Still doesn't work. Unrooted also.

Hmm.. So it installs and you get another android keyboard in your settings menu right?
What might help is installing another keyboard (free from market). set that as default (select it as input method in browser for instance). go to settings and select the recently installed android keyboard i gave you. deselect all languages in the input languages menu (once for each action popup). close settings, open it up again. select english and italian in input languages (once for each action popup) and close settings.
now open text messaging or anything else that uses the keyboard. select the android keyboard as input method. hold the spacebar and select italian. it should now give you swedish predictions.
i'v seen it here also that it at times didn't give me dutch, but after redoing all the settings it fixed it.
just make sure you have enabled the keyboard in the settings menu and set the settings for it like i said. if it doesn't work i don't know.

Is there any other way to get, for example, the Dutch dictionary in the Gingerbread keyboard, without having to abuse one of the existing languages? Can't you just add additional languages?
I'm using a Nexus S, and I heard that there are versions of the phone that download additional keyboards during the initial setup, based on the location of the phone (network, country, ...), if they have an internet connection available, see for example this screenshot: h~t~t~p~:~/~/~plixi~.~com~/~p~/~67798426 (can't post a link, so just delete all ~ chars).
I'm also wondering if this method won't cause problems when you get an OTA upgrade (e.g. to 2.3.3). Will you need to do it all over again? :-s
Thanks!

Has there been any progress on this? I don't know why android doesn't just include all languages possible. If an iPhone can do it, surely our phone should!

I heard that Android 2.3.3 adds support for a lot more languages, also on the US/UK Nexus S, including Dutch ...

[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

Exactly the same problem for me
xt9 came with the 1.52 update, and I didn't find how to disable it yet.
