I am happy when hearing that.


To all,

I have just uploaded cg33 unicode editable gaintable startup version 1.1 here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...kage_id=165548

You can use this c5_a4 CG33 with multi latin base keyboards.

Here is what I have done:

1. Replace Motorola's AMCSL.ttf with tahoma.ttf font
2. Enable to edit .GainTable.txt in /diska/.system
3. Automatic run all the scripts in /diska/.system/Startup when the phone starts

Motorola's AMCSL.ttf font supports chinese language and a few other languages.

Motorola's AMCSL.ttf font supports following languages:
Western
Japanese
Chinese_GB2312
Chinese_BIG5

It does not support Vietnamese language and/or some languages.

This modified CG33 replaces Motorola's AMCSL.ttf with tahoma.ttf font.

tahoma.ttf font supports following languages:
Western
Hebrew
Arabic
Greek
Turkish
Baltic
Central European
Cyrillic
Thai
Vietnamese

If you can use tahoma.ttf font to display your language in PC then you can use this modified CG33 to display your language in E680i.

I put the file .GainTable.txt in /diska/.system so that you can copy .GainTable to PC, use Notepad to edit, and put it back to /diska/.system. After editing .GainTable.txt, you may need to restart your phone.

This modified cg33 also allows all the scripts you put in /diska/.system/Startup folder will be run automaticlly when the phone starts.


Steps to install this CG33:

1. Download and unzip, you will have 2 files:
E680I_G_0D.C5.A4P_0D.B0.B1P_T674KV_L001_S015_P004_GSOE680IT674KV006_fullCG33.smg
and .GainTable.txt

2. Use PST or Flashkit to install

3. If you use PST to reflash your phone then just replace the origin CG33 with this modified CG33 during the "erasing memory" process.

4. If you don't want to reflash your phone then rename E680I_G_0D.C5.A4P_0D.B0.B1P_T674KV_L001_S015_P004_GSOE680IT674KV006_fullCG33.smg to cg33.smg. Put file cg33.smg in root directory of memory card. use flashkit to flash: flashcp -v /mmc/mmca1/cg33.smg /dev/mtd5

5. After use PSt or flashkit to install this CG33, switch the phone to USB mass storage, copy the file .GainTable.txt into .system folder of your phone memory (/diska/.system). restart phone.

6. If you want to edit .GainTable.txt, just copy .GainTable.txt in .system folder of your phone memory to PC. Use Notepad to edit it and copy back to the phone. restart phone after editing.

7. If you have any script need to run when the phone start, create a folder name Startup in /diska/.system and put all the scripts there. For example: You can put NEO's Startup.lin script in Startup folder.


Steps to adjust font size, to make unicode displaying looks better

1. telnet to phone.
2. go to folder /ezxlocal/download/appwrite/setup
3. copy file ezx_system.cfg to PC
4. use ultraedit to edit file ezx_system.cfg on PC
5. Search for Large/Medium/SmallFontSize
6. Replace default size with Large=18/Medium=17/Small=16.
7. Save the changes
8. copy modified file ezx_system.cfg to phone at /ezxlocal/download/appwrite/setup.
9. Disconnect, restart phone.
11. Choose setup, Text size = Medium
12. Your phone is now displaying unicode font nicer.






Look not to faults of others,
Nor to their omissions and commissions.
But rather look to your own atcs,
To what you have done and left undone.

Good news to all E680i users around the world:

I have successful created the font that can display all languages in E680i!

Please help me to share this good news to:

1. All E680i friends in www.motorolafans.com forum
2. All E680i Vietnamese friends in vietnamese forum
3. All E680i Chinese friends in ccmove forum
4. All E680i Thailand friends in thai forum
5. All E680i Russian friends in russian forum

Motorola's font can display following languages:
Western
Japanese
Chinese_GB2312
Chinese_BIG5

ThreeSearch's unicode font can display following languages:
Western
Japanese
Chinese_GB2312
Chinese_BIG5
Hebrew
Arabic
Greek
Turkish
Baltic
Central European
Cyrillic
Thai
Vietnamese
International Phonetic Alphabet

With ThreeSearch's unicode font, all languages are now under one roof.

My font also supports International Phonetic Alphabet. http://www.arts.gla.ac.uk/ipa/ipa.html

Now you can install any dictionary with phonetic in your E680i!
Go to http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net to download or setup your dictionary.

Motorola's font size is 1.8MB. ThreeSearch's unicode font size is 2.1MB. It exceeds the size limit of CG33. To keep the size of CG33 does not exceed 25MB, I have to move the following files to /diska/.system folder:

.GainTable.txt
vbr_dash.wav
vbr_dot.wav
vbr_normal.wav
vbr_dotdot.wav
vbr_pulse.wav
vbr_dotdash.wav

I attached these files in the zip file for your convenience. After using PST or Flashkit to flash this CG33 to your phone, remember to copy 7 files above to /diska/.system folder. If you forget to put 7 files in /diska/.system folder, you can not hear any sound from phone's speakers or your phone can not vibrate.

You can edit .GainTable.txt, ajust the volume of all speakers as you wish.
To do that, just copy .GainTable.txt to PC.
Use Notepad (don't use Wordpad) to edit it.
Save the changes and copy back to /diska/.system folder.
Restart the phone to apply the changes.

You can edit vibrate files to ajust the way your phone vibrates.
Use any sound editor to modify the wav files as you wish.
Save the changes and copy back to /diska/.system folder.

I also put the startup folder in /diska/.system. If you have any script need to be run when the phone starts such as Neo's startup.lin or startup_tone.sh, you can create a folder named "Startup" in /diska/.system folder and put those scripts there.

Ahaha, may be the keyboard of your theme had overwritten the default keyboard. Try to change to default theme or modify your theme.
Btw, I think latin keyboard is in cg35!

ThreeSearch's CG33 unicode version 1.3 change log:

1. include all the changes of CG33 unicode version 1.2 (support Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Greek, Phonetic...editable gaintable, vibrate, startup)

2. I merged yantz's rootfs with this cg33, this cg33 included auto telnet when usb cable plugged in (acmattach.txt), silivo's bash2, nano...

3. For some reasons, silivo's bash2 didn't work with XSnes9x. So I keep motorola's bash as default bash to make XSnes9x work, and add silivo's bash2 as /bin/bash2.

To make use of bash2 and keep XSnes9x work, I modified file .profile in /root folder to active bash2 on top of default bash. when you telnet, you still enable to see dircolors and path prompt. when you exit, you need to exit 2 times. first time exit from bash2, second time exit from default bash. bash2 apply to root only when you telnet, so XSnes9x still works with default motorola bash.

4. I also modified acm_fd.agent to auto backup native database (addressbook + sms) to memory card when usb cable plugged in. The phone will backup native database to /mmc/mmca1/.system/backup/sysDatabase folder. If this folder does not exist, it will be created automatically. You can use restore-native.lin to restore native database from memory card later on.

Hi ALL,

I have a problem with keyboard, and need your help.
I'm from Brazil and using E680i (A6P) since december. I have some years of experience with Linux and have made some monster packs to Motorola E398@ROKR.
My problem: I can see all portuguese accented characters, but can't write them ... My keyboard don't have any accented characters ...
Trying to solve my problem, I made a dump of /dev/tffsa and edited. Files copied from Threesearch CG35 ABP: /usr/language/themes/* /usr/language/inputmethods/english_cn.kbd. After that, I can't see any au or ab button. My iconres.ezx have the Input*.gif with au and ab buttons... All md5sum of .so files (from /usr/language) are exactly equal to ABP.
I've tried copying the *.kbd from european A780 to /usr/language/inputmethods too ... No additional keyboard appears...
I don't want to flash my phone to ABP because Motorola don't give me any support to this phone here in my country...

Thx

[chiennk]

hi chiennk,
your guidance said in order to keep the size of CG33 does not exceed 25MB, you have to move the gaintable.txt and other 6 files to /diska/.system folder, but can we put those files in mmc folder ? is there any config to do so ?
one more question, what's your CG33 latest version ? is it 1.3 ?
