Old-School Word Correction... Fixes

[phelony]

Ok so its obvious that Old-School Word Correction is messing up the onscreen software...
Whats issues have you had using the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Syste\CurrentControlSet\Control \Layouts\e0010409] Set "Ime File"="\windows\compime.dll" and "Layout Text"="COMP IME" Hack
Any fixes available
Personally the only thing i have noticed is it Nerfed my on screen KB
i cannot type letters of any sorts only numbers or symbols
Also it seems like it might have lagged my hard KB typing slightly although this may just be my perception any ideas?
has anyone else experienced this?
and if you have does anyone have a fix
I really do not wanna capitalize the first word of every sentance manually or type ' ' ' all the time as it slows doen my texting.
This might sound lazy but I got super used to it on my Q9c

So whats the word guys any fix in sight or are we just Fubar?

Yea I hear you dude. I had to disable work completion because of this. Hopefully there is a better .dll that works properly.

The fix also doesnt work when using the keyboard to input a txt, then I just have an empty txt box where the suggested word are suppost to be @.

For you guys is it only messing up word completion meaning where it suggests words for you simular to t9?
cause to be honest I just want it to auto '
and capitalize the first word of every sentance thats really all i care about

Make these changes to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9]
"XT9SupportMSSip"=dword:0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:0

[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409]
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
This value should change FROM eT9 IME to COMP IME
"Ime File="\windows\compime.dll"
This value should change FROM eT9ime.dll to compime.dll

Then, soft reset and perform the following changes in Control Panel:

1. Start > Settings > Input.
2. Select Full QWERTY and click Options.
3. Select English, "Turn on one-touch symbol entry" and click T9 Settings.
4. Check ONLY the first and fourth options, uncheck the second and third.
5. Click OK twice to return to the main Input screen.
6. Click the Word Completion tab.
7. The options here SHOULD now work the way they've always worked on the Mogul and Touch, so set them how you want and open Word or a text message and give it a try.

I'll keep an eye on this thread for a while to make sure there aren't any major problems with this, but just be aware there's a couple limitations with this hack in place:

First, the SYM hard key definitely doesn't work with this hack in use, but you can always use the software keyboard for that as an alternative. (Just click .,123, and use the 1/9 page scroller to get to the ones you want.)

Second, this definitely prevents you from using T9 modes on the software keyboards (basically you can use the Full QWERTY in ABC mode, but you can't use it in T9, and the Compact and Number Pad T9's don't work). Actually, this may or may not be true... it's entirely possible that I only hate the T9 mode because I just don't know how to use it very well.

Regardless, it's a bit of a trade-off and compromise between whether you want it purely old-school QWERTY or whether you want it new-school T9. I only recommend using this if you are like me and hate the T9 input system.

THIS VALUE MUST STAY THIS WAY, DO NOT
CHANGE IT TO "COMP IME"!

Im new at this. Can you tell me how to make a change to the registry. It would really be helpful. Thanks

I am trying it out GoodThings2Life thanks for looking into it.

[fr0st]

works great for me. Thanks for the fix

@GoodThings2Life

I tried your method and for somereason, it doesnt update the list as i type (with sip). Say i type in Lakes, im getting suggested "lines" "little" and "lives", BUT if i press back i get "lakeland" and "lakewood"

Works perfectly with the hardware keyboard though

[GoodThings2Life]

Gobmonster, I'm not sure what would cause that, but I suspect this is because the SIP is still closely integrated with T9. That said, I think this is about as balanced a solution as we're gonna find for a while.
