how to make BLOCK RECOGNIZER a default text entry method ???

Anybody knows how to make block recognizer a default text entry method? Each time i softreset my test MDA II it comes up with keyboard which I hate. I found out how to turn on/of letter recognizer and transcriber from the menu, but I do not know how to make blockrecognizer a default. I think it is not written to registry as it comes back to the keyboard after softreset. Anybody has a solution? I used pocket tweak 420 for that before but this is the only thing I was using it for so it would be good to get rid of it.

Off the top of my head, the best way to do this is to install the trial version of Fitaly, tell it so set your favourite input method as default (soft reset a few times to make sure it works), and then uninstall the Fitaly trial.
It's certainly not elegant, and there must be much better ways, but it works, in a quick 'n dirty way..

Making Block Recognizer as my default Input Mode

Anybody knows how to make Block Recognizer as my default Input Mode? Some of the applications make the Keyboard or Transcriber as the default input mode. Is there a way (e.g., registry entry) that I can override this input mode default? I don't usually use keyboard, letter recognizer or transcriber as my input means. I'm more at ease with the Block Recognizer. Help please

Try this...
Using a registry editor, search within HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID for key IsSIPInputMethod. Then, for each one found look at the parent CLSID and you should see a string value (Default) set to the name of the input method (e.g Keyboard, Letter Recogniser, etc.) Once you find the CLSID entry for the input you want, make a note of it - in your case the Block Recognizer. Then find registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip and edit the string value DefaultIm to have the CLSID you for Block Recognizer.

That's good
PHM do a free reg editor, I use the one bundled with Resco File Explorer - it is very good.

you are not the first one to say that I can't see it myself lol.

dcs,
found the string to be edited but it just allows me to delete "9667" on the string and wont allow me to key in a new value e.g.9690 for letter recognizer.
please help
thanks

Change keyboard layout?! Where in registry?

I have searched but can not find the answer...
I have installed T9 languages and it works. But I also need a different keyboard layout, with åäö. Where in registry do I fix this? Or do I need to use a third party input software?
Thanks a lot.

Not anyone?
Would be very thankful for answer.

the registry is not a general place where all program settings and options are stored
a program need not use the registry at all it all depend on how the programmer made the app

keyboard problems?

just recieved my replacement hd so got all the fun of setting it up again lucky me, so nothing changed from the default programs, my problem is i cant change the keyboard over to something more useful like keyboard instead of the default setting
of phone keyboard any ideas how to resolve this.

Maybe you just don't have any other SIPs installed?
If you want to change the default keyboard, take a look at the registry setting for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]. "DefaultIm" specifies the default SIP. But be very careful with this, a wrong value here can prevent your device from booting.
You can find valid SIPs but searching the registry for IsSIPInputMethod

ok found [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]. "DefaultIm" dosnt mean alot to me to be honest but havnt been able to locate the IsSIPInputMethod within the regisrty so far and when i do what doi do to change the default keyboard settins?
