Letter Recognizer??? - Touch2 ROM Development

I am really disappointed that HTC has removed the letter recognizer in Touch2. As it is now i have to use qwerty or cell keyboard and its really frustrating.
What the hell was the HTC development team thinking when they descided to cripple the users like this ...
I like the device but if i would have known this in advance ...
Does anyone know how to get letter recognizer ?

I found a solution for it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4882992&postcount=34.
It worked great for me and I hope it helps.
Bye
Caes

Thanks. It worked!!!

But... there must be a way to change btw handwriting and keyboard (by default) without a soft reset
Patience...

you're welcome
I can live with it, because I rarely use the keyboard. But you're right it would be great if it would be possible (then I don't need a reset after my boyfriend played with my mobile phone.... )

ha ha, you can either change your boyfriend or try out the fix at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5023391&postcount=67
But be warned it is not a 100% solution because sometimes the Letter Recognizer still won't work well.

caessa, if you think that the solution provided by NothingBetterToDo about your boyfriend is a little bit "radical" I suggest you to install the fantastic app "QuickMenu" in the TaskBar HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340352. It has an option about "keyboard" and there you change your Input mode WITHOUT any SOFT RESET.
Enjoy it!

Default input abc instead of xT9 cab fix

Hi,
We've been having the same problem on disabling XT9 and there were no solutions. Good thing I found this. And few people including me tried it and it really really works! so, i share this with you all.. Cheers!
Yeeeaaaahhh
It Realy Works!
I Love You For That...
Thank You So Much
Rename your thread. This could be misleading. This does NOT disable xT9. It only changes the default input method to abc (which is much better for most of us non-english users).
Rename it to something like:
Default input abc instead of xT9 cab fix
there... I changed it heheh... Thanks But I also found out that somebody knew about this earlier. Too bad I didn't read the post.
But now your thread title is more descriptive and will definitely get more hits on search query results.

Same here. I want permanent xt9, not ABC.
Here's another kick for the same request. Does anybody know how to switch to xt9 permanently? I've done a lot of searching but can't seem to find a solution. Much appreciated!
Thanksssssss !
So happy found this app, simply great ! Thanks

I found out how to set xT9 as the default (over ABC):
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME
-> set CarrierDefaultTextMode to 1 (the .CAB in this thread sets it to 0).
Now my keypad switches to T9 automatically when it pops up!
how about forcing qwerty mode always on, instead . is it possible?
i'm trying to get a touch dual (uk t-mobile latest stock rom) to default to xt9 rather than abc.
I've tried the CarrierDefaultTextMode fix mentioned below (adding the key as a Dword as it didnt already exist) but no change, it still defaults to abc when starting a new sms message or anything.
Before recently going back to t-mobile for a repair and them flashing it with the latest rom it defaulted to xt9 and the owner wants it to behave as it did.
Anyone got any other ideas?

PS Its running wm6.1 btw.

Default Keyboard during Phone Usage?

All,
Can anyone provide me the tweak or registry key to allow for me to continue typing on the thumb board while on a phone call? (Presently while talking, the system defaults to the number pad while talking)
Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a couple threads about changing the default keyboard config, but not for this one directly.
Thanks,
Bob

Using AP4, had the same issue with AP 3.0 as well. I assume that they would be different registry keys, but any help would be appreciated...

Interesting, so when you are in a call and you type an SMS or email at the same time, the "Y U I H J K B M N ." keys don't type numbers in their place? I would love to have the letters instead of only numbers. The numbers are a help in 2% of the cases, but for the most part, I want to type notes about phone calls and without having the thumb board working, I am stuck with the touchscreen and it is much slower for me.
Either way, I appreaciate your help

i just tested to confirm and yes that is correct. i was on a call and i hit notes and started typing and it types letters not numbers. i am looking at the reg files now
i used windiff to see if i could find a difference but there were sooooo many i could not find it sorry.
Thank you
Does anyone else have any ideas on how to set the keyboard mode while talking on the phone?
Thanks,

I'm using original spanish ROM WM6 and I have the same problem.
Me too
Let's bump this thread up the date sort:
AP 3.0, still. I can't get letters with the kbd at all when in a call, so I end up using an on-screen, or translating whatever I typed after the call. It sucks. I thought the active prg would dictate what happens with the keys. ???
I must admit the convenience of the automatic switch when in the phone app is nice.
I'm not getting why some units do this and some don't, or if it might be that people aren't using thier keyboards during a call in a different app.
Reg key? Any better ideas?

On screen keyboard or hardware keyboard? On screen works fine, hardware not since WM6.
its important to me, i would love to type using thumb keyboard while talking, i can confirm that vanilla version of 6.1 does that too but its a beta rom and i like AP4, maybe the athena project people can inlight us about this matter and creat a patch for us to use
for importancy am trying to keep this up, guys its doable, someone is required to just lead us, at least someone post me a clean (hard reseted) registery from a rom that works during call normally, and i will install it on my mobile (which doesn't type letters during call) if it works then at leaset we know its defenatly registry and there for i dedicate my life for it. any clean registry anyone can supply
PS am willing to Hard reset but not willing to reflash another rom am very tried from that business

If this drives you that nuts, then maybe you wouldn't mind doing a bit of investigation and sharing that with us?
Take a look at this registry key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyboardMapping
There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!
Dialer/Dialer skine deppendent
It also could be that it is deppendent on dialer used in your system. Some dialers can switch keybaord to numbers and some can not. It would be nice if those who can write letters during a call could tell us which dialer is in their system.
Possible Path?
HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch
Looks like this could be the ticket, will try to mess around with it and see if it makes any difference

IGO 8 in PK 4

I did installed the IGO navigation software and I can't open the application .
I got the icon on today , the icon in programs , but no chance to start it. Does not react to any enter , click or anything?
Anybody does have the same problem?

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

Really .... OMG ?! And who will come to inspect my PDA around the world ?! I think that you have a problem called frustration , cause you can't find cheap software. Try with doctor Phil ....
An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.

Anyone else got a stupid thanks button???

When viewing a post if it is of benefit to me I like to hit the thanks button, to indeed give yes you guessed it, thanks.
But when I do the thanks graphic disappears from under the mouse pointer but no thanks is given to the poster... If I refresh the page and try again, same thing happens.
I have had this for quite a while now, I brought to the attention of one of the mods, I forget which one, but it has not been sorted...
Does anyone else have this issue or does anyone know how to resolve it?
Of course if I get it resolved, I can test it on who ever has sorted it

Hm, really? It never happened for me, although I don't check if he received it or not.
Just in case, for testing purposes, I offer myself for you and everyone else to see if it works for or not
Also if your settings are set to display old style of XDA you don't get the thanks button at all.

Can't add anything to personal dictionary (Gboard)

Am I the only one with that problem?
Anyone got a fix? If not how can I report it?

I have the same issue. Still didn't find any solution.
Why dont you guys simply use SwiftKey? Its so much better. (IMHO)

Nope you're not the only one. I've had it ever since I got the phone around the release date. It's a pity though. However there are apps like user dictionary manager that can somehow help wth the problem but it's not the same still as you have to add your words manually and not double tapping on them while texting to add them into user dictionary - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.usr.dict.mgr
Nope SwiftKey is far from gboard so not an option.
Thanks, dictionary manager works like a charm!

No worries. Like a charm maybe but not as intuitive as when you could only double check tap the word while typing on gboard ?. Maybe someone will fix it one day.
