Hey all....
I recently change the language of my X01ht from Japanese to English.
Unfortunately i dont seem to be able to type Japanese anymore.
I can see it and read it, but not type it myself.
also, i seem to have problems with my Radio. after the device enters standby,
and i turn it back on, i cannot reactivate the phone. i have to soft reset before i can turn the phone on, using the comm manager.
this is not my first upgrade of a HTC phone, but certainly the most exciting
i hope someone knows what i did wrong.
Also, is it still possible to bake my own roms for the HERMES???
Sorry I can't help with the japanese input... but for the other questions:

This is very weird, which radio version are you running?
As you said you changed your phone from Japanese to English I assume you already have bootloader 1.04, then you can try to flash an extracted radio rom to see if it fixes the problems.

Unfortunately not yet, the hermes upgrades use NBH format instead of the NBF you have probably seen in older HTC devices.
The available shipped ROM upgrades contain all the rom parts in one single NBH file (IPL, SPL, MainSplash, SubSplash, GSM, ExtROM, and OS), this file is signed with an HTC private key, and checked against a certificate stored on the phone before it is actually flashed, so if you cook your own ROM in a NBH file you get an "invalid cert" error from the bootloader when trying to flash it.
Some of us have started researching how to hot-patch the SPL in RAM to allow flashing self-signed code, but it is still too early to have results.

if you are not a japanese speaker, read this. it is easier, but not typical.

if you are a japanese speaker, read this. it is a typical way to implement japanese functionality with a non-japanese wm5.0 device using atok.

thanks for your replies.
Im running Radio Stack version 1.07.03.10. I just realized that i cannot send emails via my Gmail account under Flexmail2007. If i connect to a WLAN everything seems fine. But using 3G, i cannot send anything. Internet and receiving works fine though.
Also, once i use my hermes for a while (surfing internet via 3G), the back of it gets quiet warm.
I guess around 38-40 degrees celcius.
@qtotter
thanks alot, mate. That really helps.
i seem to have a few problems with this device. i didnt have a HTC for a while, mainly because i moved to Japan and my phones didnt work there.
Now i seem to be a bit behind.

This is a configuration problem, check the 3G and proxy settings with your provider, this has nothing to do with the radio stack, you won't fix it by upgrading it.

i can send email via gmail with pocket outlook, and so does a friend of mine... i guess it's your setting in the email client as pof says.
also, my x01ht gets warm, too, when it's connected to the internet via 3gpp.
Thanks guys...im gonna do a hard reset tomorrow and built it all up again.
right now its all kinda messy.
I have over 5000 programs and games for PPC and i wanted to see what still runs, so i have alot of dead folders and probably some unnecessary registry entries.
I also might change from Flexmail back to PO or something else.

over 5000 programs... if you use one program a day, it would take more than 13 years to try them all.

Thats certainly true...thats why i usually use only the ones that are interesting to me. but thats still alot...but since alot of the are a few years old now, i am reluctant to try them. i already had some problems with some software under WM5.
I installed the Japanese input...this language bar thing. But its really annoying. It opens 1 more bar every time i start a program/game.
it is also making itself very present. even if im in camera mode, when its in the
background, i can still move it. During games i have to move with the stylus, i will always pickup that little bar....very annoying...

i am not sure what the little bar you mentioned is. i guess you tried the method for non-japanese speakers?
i have never tried any input methods other than atok 4 ppc. if you do not mind spending a couple of thousand yen for japanese input, i would recommend you buy it. but it does not officially wm5, and you need a little tweaking...

if you have installed a japanese font and tweaked registry to read japanese, you can try ComPOBox (Otsu).

How to avoid the unwanted appearance of the IME floater
1. Download, unzip and copy GWinter's KbdSwitch to Program Files. http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winte...are/index.html
2. Run KbdSwitch and set to Japanese IME.
3. Soft-reboot.
4. As soon the Pocket PC starts up again, the IME should be in Japanese. Sometimes, it is not and so you may need to reset KbdSwitch to Japanese IME and restart a few times.
5. Run any application that may use the Japanese IME, i.e. dictionary and wordprocessor.
6. Switch back to English IME (COMP IME).
NB: The floater should only appear only in applications that you started with Japanese IME on. Also, remember that the "X" in the upper right corner of the windows is actually a "minimize" function.

if you get rid of the software totally, why don't you uninstall it???

Anyway, Is there any way (even paying) to make the Japanese input work in a proper way, just like when you have the device in Japanese (always without the floating bar)??

I think the athena boards are quite tame, compared to the Hermes and Kaiser forums...In those forums you will be called 4 letter words for not searching or posting a new thread instead of posting in the proper thread...
Of course, in those forums new roms come out every day, so there is a lot more activity.

Has the downgrade tool been confirmed in the works? I am waiting on it or the next version after 4.0 I am not happy with AP 4.0 at all right now to many issues with applications etc
not really confirmed, just few words from the dev team, no ETA ... would be a disaster if this tool is not released...

Yes, I am also having some issue with AP4, but I have changed several items and it now at least usable.
1) I removed all keyboards/sips except the default and I added resco keyboard. I believe some of the newer sips like the manilla keyboards were causing me memory issues.
2) I shutoff touchflo
3) I shutoff Vueflow
4) I changed several registry keys to performance setting via sktools.
5) I installed the Opera 8.65 cab and removed the opera 9.x
6) Removed Manilla Dialer
Also, changed a few registry items found in the forums wiki's for universal and kasier.
Most changes above were performed using SKtools, Schaps Advanced config app and PHM Registry editor. I still have issue with the photo album, but i do not use it much.
So for me, it now is a usable device again and better than ap3. DO i wish i could downgrade the SPL and try one of the other wm6.1 rom...Yes

Sorry, I did not make a list of the reg changes, but most can be accomplished with sktools and/or readng the universal wiki registry edits
As for mail address prediction? Do you mean suggest words etc
did you go into settings, select personal tab, select the input icon, select the word completion TAB,
check suggest words when entering text
Change Suggest After entering to "1 letter" (i think the default is space which does not suggest words until a space is entered, totally useless)
set the other check boxes to your preference!
Remember word completion will store what you type most often, thus the email addresses, words etc

My problem is in "suggest words". There are options for 1, 2, 3 or 4 words suggested, but is impossible to mark a number. I think again the registry is not very fine. The curious comment is that teksoft keyboard does suggest words, that means AP team deploy this part of the rom only fine with software keyboards but not the phisical one.
This is the worse upgrade I ever made of a device. And no way to solve. I feel stupid after several years testing rom upgrades.
AP 4 is totally unusable for business. Maybe nice youtube video capacity, or maybe music, but no way to have it working.
I am starting to use again a blackberry device I have: totally usable for word prediction, gps really superfast.

Hello there,
I am not certain if this question has been posed a hundred times before or not. If it has, I apologize for asking again; however, I have searched through the forums and haven't found the answer yet.
My question is: Does an applet or utility exist which could be run after I update the ROM on my phone (or perform a hard reset, etc.) which would essentially read in the entire Windows Mobile registry, then allow me to customize the OS to my liking, then finally re-read the registry and save the deltas off to a .REG file?
I love to continually update the ROM on my phone and after owning an Apache and now a Titan, I have become pretty proficient getting the phone back to the way I like it; however, I would very much love to double-click a .REG file (or whatever) to have all of the customizations reapply immediately.
Does such an animal exist?
Thank you,
Erik

I havent seen anything that will create the delta's that you want but SPB Mobile back up will create a registry capture than you can reload that exact registry from that point in time. I dont know if that will help you but after months of not getting an app here or there to cook into my kitchen correctly I realized why bother. Just use the back up program after flashing and installing and I get the EXACT results I was looking for.
Good luck!

I would suggest against this if you are flashing different ROMs (i.e. 3.2.0 and 3.2.1, etc) as there will be different drivers that these programs rely on. It could cause some problems that a hard reset won't fix. Some people see no problems and other senior members have felt the burn after trying to reimage their device.
I would suggest looking into UC customizations for a better solution.
If i can get a full reg dump. only the reg from HKLM..
there are missing entries in the rom I have and it will be easier for me to go though a full .reg dump then all of the rgus in a rom dump.

Basicly all you need is a reg editor for windows mobile, which can be found here http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ if you don't already have one.
connect your phone to your computer using active sync.
open ce reg editor and connect to your phone.
the reg keys will be displayed in the left pane.

then zip the file and upload here thankyou for your help.

but obviously features like GPS and other hardware features that arnt on the OMAP850 will not work. But like i said, we have your rom on our device so put yours and mine next to eachother your just going to see a diffrent case

As far as I'm concerned the HTC Favorites plugin is a live display of the IE favorites. But I am not entirely certain about that since I don't have a S740.

I don't use it and have it disabled on my (altered) sliding panels home screen, but I have just tried it and it seems to update automatically.

To All Chef,
During flashing the ROM, when the customization job runs, is it possible to provide the list of application's that come along with the ROM and let the user choose the set of application he wants?
Also, if possible, the job can even delete the cab files of the application which are not choosen by the user. This will save ROM space i guess. I am not a developer, so i am suggestion instead of do something about it, sorry.
Thanks.
I'm not exactly a chef, but I'll respond anyway
For your first question, yes, that is possible, as long as someone develops an app to do that. Hell, I could develop it if there's enough demand.
As for deleting CABs that weren't installed, that is unfortunately not possible because they are already part of the ROM.
Yes it is available. You are talking about the Rom Kitchens available in this forum. Just take a look in the rom kitchen posts then you'll know what I'm talking about. Here are two that currently has the lastest aGPS fix. At0mAng and Da_G's Kitchen and the corresponding packages. The kitchen allows you to pick what you want in your rom, it is very easy to use and you should no doubt give it a try.

Thats actual ROM cooking. But i was mentioning about the 'customization' program that runs right after you flash your ROM. If we have an option setup in that program to choose application before it installs, that would nice from users perspective. Just a thought. I am sure everyone will like it.

I am glad to hear that you could develop. (I dont have that skills). If you develop, we can probably let all the Chef know to use it, if they want.

Reading through this thread I knew it was only a matter of time until I found the post with that link
I liked that app but never really used it. Always seemed like too much of an extra step on first boot. Not to mention, some cabs require user input to install and would freeze the device temporarily requiring a soft-reset once it tries to install them.

For your first question, yes, that is possible, as long as someone develops an app to do that. Hell, I could develop it if there's enough demand.

That would be one cool ass app!
I was thinking of something like this as an xml file. Can it be done with XML? I don't know XML that well but I think it might be able to.
Can you be more specific as to what you were thinking with XML?
I wrote a simple Mortscript that generates a SDConfig.txt based on what files exist in a specific cab folder...
Simpest solution is what many chefs do: Lite and Loaded ROMs
SDconfig in the apps you want to a lite ROM or uninstall the ones you do not from a loaded ROM...
or you could always cook your own custom ROM

I liked that app but never really used it. Always seemed like too much of an extra step on first boot. Not to mention, some cabs require user input to install and would freeze the device temporarily requiring a soft-reset once it tries to install them.

I'm guessing the device is not actually frozen. Generally, during customization screen input is locked to prevent the user from interfering with customization.
The device will appear to be frozen because the buttons and screen do not respond. If you were to call your phone you would see that the call comes through, but you can't answer because the buttons are locked out (trust me, a few times my wife has called my cell while I was testing ROMs and a few times she called right when it was doing customization).
You would need to unlock the screen input before running the cab to ensure the user can enter data.
example config.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
TSK: \WINDOWS\Guava Bubbles.tsk
LOCK:Disabled
CAB: \WINDOWS\Microsoft_Sounds.cab
LOCK:Enabled
CFG: \WINDOWS\config_PT.txt
I get the impression that the real goal of this is to prevent the installation of a few items that the rom chef likes but others don't. For example, I personally find no use in SecondToday, but a few chefs include it with their roms.
I think that this would be a non-issue if most applications were uninstallable after setup...at least the apps that tend to be upgraded frequently (Opera, TomTom) and the ones only popular with a few users (SecondToday, TouchResponse).
The argument is "just cook your own or use a different one", but that doesn't really answer many people for whom one rom is nearly perfect, but there's just a little tweak or two to the installed apps that would make it perfect.
I'm not sure this really needs another app or any extra steps in the install process. Not when this would slow down usage for many people, and only really benefit a small percentage
