Thanks !

Hi, any news please?

[studyhood]

Sorry, I am coming to this again, but I would really appreciate if you could inform me when you would be able to see how I could use your patch on my Palm Pre.

[Loiter]

Sorry I was a bit absent from the forums these days. Send me via PM your mail so we can check it out.

Hi Loiter, hi guys,

happy new year to all of you!

Did you have any news on that 1.4.5 testing thing? I use a Palm Pre Pixi and would like to help you with that - I really need those greek characters!

Cheers

[Loiter]

You can contact studyhood (the user in the previous posts). I sent him the patch to test it and I believe he made some changes and managed to get it working. PM him.

[Tsanis]

OK, thanks a lot! I'll contact studyhood and let you know then.

[Loiter]

Also a good idea would be to post it here or even better send it to Preware if indeed it works. There are plenty of 1.4.5 users.

Bump !!

Anyone who could do this for a donation?

No need to ask for a donation.
Tsanis sent me an e-mail and told me he managed to do it.
I'll ask him, so I can attach it here.

OK here it is.
I didn't make it, I haven't tested it, I'm just the courier.
You test it and if it is ok, we'll add it to the first post. If not, I have no responsibility.

Hi guys, there I am again...!

I tested the patch on my phone (Pixi Plus from Vodafone Germany, no branding) and found out some problems regarding the sms'es. When sending an sms out, I can see the greek characters, but my counterpart reads only question marks...
Then I installed Shura's russian layout and tried it out with russian characters: again, the sms received on a russian smartphone (so no excuses about missing fonts) appeared to have misunderstood the coding, so only question marks for me today.

I have no explanation for that, maybe we should ask Shura if he's facing it too.

Apart from that, all other functions seem to work flawlessly.

Enjoy!

I suspect that some of the characters might not have been added to this table?

[Tsanis]

@Herrie: that was a great idea!

Unfortunately, I can't find the greek small letters on the 7 bit default alphabet:
The 7 bit default alphabet

So how am I supposed to add them?
