Hello,
I recently got my Flyer and been doing some document viewing and editing. I discovered that Polaris Office apparently does not support some special characters, specifically germanic umlaute (ä, ö, ü and so forth). I can neither view nor write those characters.
Is there a known workaround/fix to that? I'd like to use Polaris due to the Pen Support. So far I've converted the docs i want to view and annotate into PDF.
I've tried setting the system language to German (I'm using a UK Flyer so it's "German (United Kingdom)"), which didn't help. I can use those characters normally in other text editing tools, like the Notes app.
Thanks
Update/Fix: After Flashing the FlyHigh Custom Rom today, Polaris Office shows and writes those characters perfectly. It works with system language set to English as well as if set to German, so that was not the issue.
If i use Swedish stock keyboard, I can type characters such as äöå, ü if Long press u. Everything shows fine in Polars. I don't know why it doesn't work with you. Have you tried to restart (not fast turn off; turn on) the device or even reset to factory settings?

Thanks for your suggestion, but that didn't change anything. I can write and view those characters just fine in other applications.

I have the same problem; when reading PDF with Swedish characters they are simply missing in the text.

Hello, I as you know also have the TrueNeytral and the charge of battery for usb me works perfectly and in the car also, in the PC it charge me between 210 - 280mA. The only problems are the Russian characters, for the rest it goes very thin. Greetings
Please post installation instructions/link to install info (Must downgrade? etc.)
Thanks, Eladio
To install TRUE follow normal procedure to WM6
That's:
-Downgrade to aku 2.20... If you previously had a WM6 or aku 3.3..
-Activesync 4.5
-Conect prophet via USB in normal status (not necessary to place it in -BOOTMENU)
-Execute upgrade utility (a .bat file)
-Wait no longer than 15'
-Dont touch anything, i recomend turning communications or phone off
-Anything happens in appearence but after pc message in MSDOS, hard reset -must be done.
-Now you are done.
It would be great if a russian speaker could give some info from 4pda.ru forums to change .dll in order to switch language typography in this rom.
Thx dudes

I've installed TrueNeytral a couple hours ago. Registry change of Keyboard is not working for me, but Resco Keyboard yes.
If i change registry of IR my Prophet restarts each time switch on . Original values are '15' (not '14' as you say).
Also some original ring tones (setup/personal/phone) are not recognized as valid wma files.

Hi all.
I've been using TrueNeytral WM6 two days. Actually for me is the best WM6
implementation I've flased to my dear prophet. Things I've used:
-USB, Wallet and car charge, all work fine (car charger required software
reset with cable plugged to works).
-WiFi: I've wireless router to internet, with no problems starting/stopping WiFi.
Windows Live, Google Mail, everything OK. Configuration resists software
resets.
-GPRS: OK, corporate mail (Lotus Notes) working perfect.
-Bluetooth: Stereo Sony HBH DS970, handsfree Jabra bt-150, freedom bt
keyboard, parrot ck 3000, GPS Zaapa. Multiple connections (parrot & GPS)
work, tomtom returns after receiving a call (this is the first ROM to do this)
ActiveSync over BT to my desktop working also (TrueConnect over BT!)
-IR: NoviiRemote working with no tweaks. Changing registry as stated at top
of this thread for IR gets my prophet to shutoff completely when hibernate,
so i cannot use file and vcard transfers over IR, but I think this is a OBEX
problem, because IR port is working for NoviiRemote.
-I have no incompatibility at all. WisBar and SPB Backup is supposed to get
into trouble, but not for me.
-Finally, battery drain is correct. I've been monitoring two days, and
consumes 4-5% at night and 30-35% with normal use; checking once an
hour mail with GPRS and 30-40 min. call.
-Cannot map HW buttons 1 and 2.
It seems to be near RTM...
Thanks for posting this ROM, and of course to the author.
Eladio.

Ah!
Russian Keyb: Install Resco Keyboard and SPB Full Keyboard with dictionary completition. These are apps I use normally.
Contacts: Again Pocket Informant & Pocket Breeze, I don't use standard apps from M$. Pocket Informant traps links to std apps, so 'contacts' is hidden for me.
Dialer: I've installed cabinet from first post, but normally use voice command over bluetooth handsfree to dial.
I'm trying to isolate me from lang/reg issues. The cost is to have to install these apps...
I have come across with a post in a spanish forum where they got rid of russian characters. It has to do with a .dll. i think they succed. I will post the how to ASAP
This one also has the problem of turning itself on constantly with an Exchange account.
One more: cannot control volume of incoming call. It is set to maximum, and volume indicator seems to work but there is no real effect over volume.

Thanks for this great rom.
It looks great.

Great work.
Thanks for the ROM. Finally one without any Chinese stuff in it.
Just 2 more questions: does this ROM support use of SDHC cards and how to change the date style (from short to long date format)
1 - this and all other rom's dosn't support sdhc card's
2 - need to change it in registry editor
Thanks for the quick reply. Re the reg editor: do you know what key needs to be changed (and to what value)?
Can you please give a step to step guide, for how to install this rom on the SPV C550 please?

A few small problems I found:
MoBlue is only in Polish.
Some error messages (as from media player) are also only Polish.
Is there a way to fix this?
moblue is in english too, but you must change them i moblue settings or in registry editor.
about WMP i check it

Do we have to flash some specificradio for WM6.1? This is the best rom so far, but i still have most common problems that occur with 6.1: phone keeps losing coverage and battery sometimes drains for no apparent reason.

For T9 try a download from hxxp://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads
The setting of SMS service center works fine for me
When I clear the entry, it was auto filled by the network,
when I modifiy the default, it stays as I enter the value.

Is there any way to remove words that were auto-saved short of a factory reset? They are not in the user dictionary and I found some instructions that said long press the word will bring up a menu to delete that word but it doesn't come up. These are the words that if you have your settings to set to automatically learn new words, it'll automatically save them and not the specifically user added words.
It's words like "tha" instead of "the". Thanks.

Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it worked. The errors and saved names are still saved in the dictionary even though I cleared it out. Thanks though; never would have thought to look there. Could it be I had done something?
I have an X10a, flashed to the global generic (or world generic, whichever one is the correct one for the Americas) running 2.1 with build 2.1.A.0.435, rooted.
Hello!
I've got a little problem, which is not life threatening but somehow irritating..
I've been using few roms: gingerreal, both CM ports, coderom, flash, and maybe more and everywhere I get the same problem with SMS.
I'm from Poland where we use some weird characters like "ą", "ś" or "ł". As you may know, when you use this kind of chars while composing sms you get your 160 chars sms cut down to 70chars because it's being sent with unicode alphabet (or something alike).
Now I know that once I had a rom (maybe it wasn't even a custom rom) that even when I used those weird chars wasn't sending them. The whole message was "encoded" as a GSM alphabet.
I know that there's a setting in stock sms app to use GSM alphabet but it isn't working when I use GoSMS which doesn't have this setting.
Do you have some way to solve this problem? Maybe some of my countrymen here can enlighten me..
Cheers!
ps.
stupid rules to not allowing me to comment roms in dev section...
You can try another keyboard. Like HTC_IME mod (it can replace characters you want with another set of characters) or hacked Swype 3 that just doesn't input ą, ę etc.
I'm using Swift Key 'cause it works for me better than any other. It's predictions are priceless 'cause it learns my style of writing from all my mails and sms..
I want to use dictionary and write with polish chars but force sms app to convert it to gsm alphabet. I know it can be done 'cause I had it before..
Any other ideas?
Have you tried the Handcent SMS app from Market? I don't know if it can replace Polish characters.
Now I noticed, that all the time since I've got Galaxy Ace the Input Mode in stock Messages app is GSM Alphabet and all messages that I sent and received has Polish characters.
So every time you thought that you were sending one msg you really sent 2 or even 3... That sucks, doesn't it?
I really like GO apps so I would rather stick to less predictions with swift key than change the sms app.
Shame it can't be set to send without our 'precious' polish chars :/
Every nokia I had in past could do that..
I am using gosms for remove czech diacritics in sms. In polish will work probably also.
where and what setting are you using to disable czech chars?
Gosms - setting - advancedsetting - setting for sending - switch on national setting. Then supported language( polish) and choose czech for sms.
I have gosms in czech, so name of setting is translated by me. But i hope you will find it
Daaamn, you were right! Of course I tried this few times already but this time (since you declared that it works for you) I restarted the gosms app and only after THAT it worked!
They should have written somewhere that you need to restart app so the setting would make effect..
Much appreciated, thanks!
Thanks for the tip man, in Brazil we use special caracteres all the time, after install Go SMS i noted this bug with limititation, i put czech national settings and after restart the app works great again, thank you.
I like it when i found out cool things about my phone!
So I was going to scan one of those digital bar codes and pressed the bing search button and realized there was an option to scan text. Hmmm.... i said to myself, and gave it a try. This phone(come to find out its all windows phones) can act as an optical character recognition. You can scan an image and copy the text and paste it into a word document. And then, while i was messing around with it, i come to find out that if you just leave it with a view of the cover of book, it will recognize it and pull up searches for the book!
Maybe you know this, maybe you don't (haven't used a windows phone since the HTC Tilt) I don't know if I will ever use this feature, but it is still cool to know that this phone can do a lot of cool things I may never use.
In case you don't know, it also does the translation in-place too. So, if you are in a foreign country and want to find out what that sign or menu means, just use Bing search and point your camera to it. You do have to choose the languages. This feature used to be a separate app for WP7 but now integrated into Bing search itself.
Great stuff right? These are known features and part of Bing Vision (if I am not mistaken thats the official name) and available for a while now.
Similarly try Bing Translator App, it can translate text using your Camera in real time, also a very impressive feature.

It should recognize foreign text automatically. It recognized Vietnamese...but it did a really poor job translating it. Half the stuff didn't translate and the other half didn't come close to what it actually meant.
English to other languages has been pretty accurate so far though.
Have they included support for non-latin based languages? there is a Japanese grocery store by me, and they have an entire area of sauces with no english words on the bottle. so essentially, there is no way to find out what is in each of these bottles. I tired using my phone (albeit it was a samsung focus using mango at the time), and it could not recognize Japanese. did it to Vietnamese hot sauce. It didn't recognize that, either

You need to select your translation language manually. I've tested with a few Chinese menus and it works fine.
Nice stuff!
we had a cab on windows mobile that could scan business cards and put the information straight into the contacts app.worked pretty good too. is this supported as well?
