Changing Key's/layout of original HTC Keyboard - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
i like the original htc keyboard, so i dont wanna use fingerkeyboard or anything else.
but i'm just wondering if its possible to change some keys..for example those smiley keys..to assign them with another smiley...
thanks in advance,
DN41

it is possible, one nice attempt by boogiecornejo here,
basically it's the matter of finding and editing few xml files in Windows folder (look for 0C09.xml, 0D09.xml and similar), more details in the thread above,
besides that you can try finding threads on lithuanian and bulgarian keybords here - I remeber seeing some info there as well

thanks for that mate, i'll try to manage that

Package Collection

Given the number of different ROMs and ROM cooking utilities, it's getting very easy to make a ROM do exactly what you want. However, there are very few packages readily available (that is without dissecting cabs or ROMs).
I decided I may as well upload some packages I have made (thanks to ervius's package tool and way to much spare time) so that everyone else can find the apps that they want.
If anyone has any packages to upload, please do, or link to somewhere you have them. But please don't take others work and say it's yours...

Useful tools:

Hypercore
Neokit

XML tool
Help for xml settings, and using packages in hypercore is attached.
Thnks for this
Please can you tell.me how can i add the one keyboard, ex. htc touch keyboard on the dump rom?
What utility are you using?
i would like to use htc touch keyboard in portuguese... i have taked the files from coffie pt rom!!... Can you help-me?
With which ROM? and in what form are the files? (taken from a ROM, an nk.nbf etc...)
OEM! I want to put on micro v2 edit by me!
Please see att.
Do you have something like hypercore or neokit?
yes yes... i used neokit... i have tried to put that files, do all exacly but not apears the keyboard!... some files missing maybe? :/
What language keyboard is it?
Portuguese- PTG
So, can you help-me? :x
Sorry, I've been out up till now...
I think the problem is that you need two packages (attached) one is the basic keyboard, and the other is the PTG language pack. Using the new Neokit, you should be able to import the packages directly.
Ok big thanks, i will try it
Isnt necessary change nothing on reg.?
The two packages should contain a *.rgu file, and this should be imported by neokit, so no need to change anything.
oh yehhh... i dont have copied that from gullum rom... So i found here is the problem Big thnks friend!
no problem.

Request Custom made ROMs here (it's what YOU want) Back up :)

I offered this same service for the Kaiser and the Hermes (just now for the Hermes) and a lot of people seemed to like it so i thought i'd bring it here. It'll bring a lot more load on me, but i'm on summer vacation until the 25th and then school starts (will continue to do this even when i have school hopefully).
Most chefs tend to cook what the majority of the people like including myself. When i cooked my first ROM and asked people for feedback/suggestions, i did get a few programs that everybody liked but there were many suggestions of programs that each different user liked. So i could have cooked Livcast in which Joe wanted, but Mary wouldn't use it at all; that kind of thing
I couldn't get anybody to cook what i wanted so i did it myself So i'm opening up this thread for ANYBODY who has a request to cook a ROM which can include ANY program (or rather anything they want). I will cook commercial programs, but will NOT include any license/registration key; that's up to you to get. The format should look something like this:
Programs: Thousands of these.
Games: Thousands of these to
Version: Here you can tell me whether you want a cube version, non-cube version, diamond build, etc.
Other: Whatever else you'd like.
Preferred Upload Host: Have problems with RS? No problem, just tell me the site and i'll upload it there. I can also upload to Jannaa's blogspot thanks to her generosity!
You can help aplace4u.biz to stay free.
Chances are that I probably have access to the programs you want, so i'll make them to an OEM if i don't already have them.
I really want a Raphael/Fuze to so if you can, help me in getting one, i'd appreciate any support. This is 100% FREE and i'd like to help as much as I can, but if you can/are able to, i have PAYPAL ksallstar2013 at yahoo.
Reserved, just in case.
Pssshh, you shoulda just put the programs on it for me, not sent me to your FTP. Haha jk, Although I need the pass to the .rar file.

Just want to know if the radio can be changed so that Europe and US frequencies are working? Is it hardware or software related? Will donate you some bucks.

Ah, ignore the email i just sent
Radio is a software thing that can be changed. You could use the same radio for two countries, however you have to find the best fit one.
My laptop has been a living nightmare, so yesterday i took it to Best Buy so that they can fix it for me. So as soon as it's back, i'll get going with all of this!! Thanks for the support

Actually, there are two different kitchens for each and i don't want to take a chance at messing up your device because they "look the same." If i have time, i'll go into the Diamond and see its whatabouts and get back to you (when i get my laptop back) Currently, i'm on my bro's computer (vista :\)
I also forgot to mention that l3v5y will also be helping me out in this project! We're going to work together to try and bring you guys the best custom ROMs I'm sure you guys all know him Support l3v5y if you can!!
Hello everyone!
As and when HardSPL is finalised for the Raphael, we can begin cooking, and releasing ROMs.
Anything in the Official (Shipped) ROMs you want removed can be removed, and (virtually) anything you want added can be added.

ROM cooking is not identical, but is similar. I'll go and grab a copy of the latest WWE ROM and try and apply those changes. It'll be an unsigned ROM though.
Alternatively, if you want to cook it yourself, you'll need to delete the OEM packs that have the names corresponding to the app (windows live is a SYS program, as is Windows Update and User Feedback), and look for all the files with names like "config.txt" and delete lines such as "CAB: \Windows\Opera.CAB" as they are cabs for Opera. There is one for manila as well.

First things first, remove the "PACKAGE_DIAMOND_MANILA" OEM pack.
Also remove the 0409 OEM pack (first make sure it contains only
Code:
69479299-552b-4c65-8085-cfeaaffda10c.dsm
mxipupdate_oemoperators_WeatherCityBase.provxml
_2330fc3c_manila
*** Note: not all Diamond ROMs contain this! ***
Finally, you have to remove the manila_PT_Reg.cab file, and the line associated with it in a config.txt file.
Thanx man for ur good and quick reply
1 more question please
where do i found this config,txt file? in the OEM folder or SYS folder?
Thanx in advance

It'll be in the OEM packs if its there... Do a search for "PT_Manila_REG.cab" to make sure it's there.
Perfect... thanx again
Besides the regular cooking it would be nice to see some adjustments on the home screen:
Make the clock, normal small digits so we get room back for other things, like seeing my agenda below it.
Also there is a good working CAB to get the Call history in the icons below so we can get rid of the line with big title under the clock.
Thanks, Bastiaan
@ l3v5y
another question please.
when i use an official rom (includes Radio) as a base ROM for cooking, will the radio be automatically included in the cooked ROM or do i have to do that manually during Build OS?
Thanx in advance

Radio ROMs, Splash screens and other non OS parts are added when you use HTCRT to create the nbh file.

You have different choices as well. You can add anything to the list that is possible for the today screen such as Samsung time, RL Today, etc.

how to make my rom dump?

hello ive got th iolite
but i dont know if i can use the tools that i also use for my blackstone to make the romdump?
and can i use the same kitchen as for the blackstone??
hi,
see here
This is by the Jade forum. but I think it should work also for you.
thank you going to give it a try

Did you have success?
just saw that my comment was ereased
i didnt have succes because i didnt tryed it
i wanted to make a dump of the dutch rom but is already on the site
so i thiought a dump wassnt nesecary any more
Hi, i got a dutch Iolite and right now i am trying to find out how to swap to an english ROM. But somehow it is quite difficult to find kind of a step-by-step explanation in this board.
I guess before trying any kind of flashing action i should first dump the ROM I have installed, to go back in any case.
So i downloaded those ITSutils but procread just crashes with a 'RAPI.dll was not found" error. Well, i will check for that later in the board, but in general... What should i do to dump the ROM?
I am supposed to plug it to a pc via usb? If so, using which drivers? Do i need to open that windows mobile cd i got with the phone?
Because if i would not need it, i would keep it closed until I decided wether to keep the phone (in english) or to sell it again when it has to stay in dutch.
Thanks for any help, because I really did not find what i was looking for within the wiki or that board so far. thanks
I find this topic very confusung too! :-/
For maybe being of help for other people:
- the RAPI.dll not found error is gone, when Active Sync 4.5 is installed at the host-computer, then there are also no further drivers needed
- smartphone has to be attached via usb in the activesync mode
The thing is this:
Nobody explains that right!!!!!!
Sorry maybe i'm a fool!!!!
I think is more easy wait a original ROM upgrade from HTC......
Eduardo
The real interresting question here must be; how to backup / dump my existing ROM to .nbh?
That way it wouldent be so scary to try the different custom roms here, and allso it would be very easy to share our ROM's.
Dump it to RAW, then use "Visual EviusKitchen" - ExtraButtons - Raw2NBH
Dumping programm: HERE
Kitchen U find in forum too, must use sefu

Yes , if there are something to do with it
for a better result, also remove the PACKAGE_Raphael_PlayShow & PACKAGE_Raphael_PlayShow_XXXX. u wont need this.
Thx all.
Just another questions .
It s about TF3D and i finish my rom

2. In tab " programs" , there are shortcuts by default. How can u make somes i want instead?

You're likely going to find those in one of the Operator PROVXML packages ... the Manilla (TF3D) .RGU file contains a list of the registry entries you can look for in the various PROVXML files.
Sorry, not sure which PROVXML - still working out some other cooking related items.
HTH,

Cooking Help

I was thinking of teaching myself how to cook WP7 for Leo. Ive looked through the HD2 section and the WP7 section. I got myself the kitchen and some basic instuructions, but i have a few questions.
1) where are the langugage files and how can i add/delete language abilities?
2) I can make the default.hvm file and user.hvm file, but how do i open them to edit things?
3) If i screw up cooking my ROM and test it on my HD2, will it brick the phone?
I really dont want to release something, that doesnt work, so if anyone could help me, that would be great!

Just for starters, have a look at Yuki's Great tut on cooking WP7, which i believe you already have.
now the questions,
1) i dont know much about this, but usually on x86 platform microsoft has ttf fonts for languages which are linked to system language preference using registry database.
2) they are registry hives, use any registry hive editor from google (works for me)
3) Nope, HSPL protects user from bad flashes in bootloader, MAGLDR protects HSPL by doing flash work in userspace. so if you flash a bad image, power goes off during flash using MAGLDR and DWI, only the data on NAND will be corrupt, you can still boot into HSPL bootloader and MAGLDR and next time you flash a good image, that will boot as well. (you will have to format/clean the partitions ofc if using Android)
Although this is a dev section its not for asking questions, do that in the Q&A forum.
The only posts here should be dev releases/projects/reference etc.
What do you think this section would look like if everybody was allowed to just post questions?? Thats the whole reason the Q&A forums were created in first place.
sorry TheATHEiST, my bad. ill remember that from now on.
@Rick_1995. Thanks for that! should get me started!

The .hvm files are actually editable in any text editor, as I found out. Just don't forget to convert them back to .hv files like I did.
