[Atrix 4G Android Development] OngPangTau:
Dear godwin1981,

Thank you very much on the tutorial. I am from South-East-Asia and I have an AT&T rooted Atrix 4G and Atrix 4G Lap-dock (I assume this gadget is similar to the Web-dock). I would like to get further advise from you before I proceed to the mod. I thank you on adding-in the scripts to support Chinese fonts into this mod too. Thank you very much on this wonderful mod. Thank you very much. Really appreciated!! Here below are my queries: -

Q-1: I removed the original Motorola “Home Launcher” by using systems apps remover. I replaced with “Go Launcher EX”. Do I have problem to mod my Lap-dock?

Q-2: I changed some setting from the [prop.build] (from “true” to “false”) in order to allow me to use the WiFi Hotspot (because AT&T blocked this feature). Do I have problem to mod my Lap-dock?

Q-3: Is this mod able to allow me to input Chinese “pinyin” directly from my Lap-dock keyboard too? Any special function keys to perform? Like “Shift-Alt” kind of thing?

Q-4: If I really screw up (because of my own mistake) can I use kennethpenn [GUIDE] Flash SBF to Motorola Atrix 4G to resolve?

Thank you in advance and hope to hear from your sooner advise. Thank you again on making Lap-dock possible to support Chinese fonts.

Thank you.

SELF-UPDATED:

A-1: Go Launcher EX does not have any problem when running the install.bat file (even thought I have remove the system default Home Launcher). My phone screen prompted me the "Superuser" permission request in my case.

A-2: Modified the [prop.build] (in my case, I am only modified the WiFi Hotspot feature) does not cause any problem too.

A-3: Have tried many method on the lapdock shortcut keys and it seems this "mod" is able to support the Chinese fonts BUT STILL DOES NOT SUPPORT for Chinese "pinyin" input directly from the lapdock keyboard.

A-4: Not applicable. As I am lucky not to screw up the overall process as I have read the instructions many times just to ensure I understand and confidence before proceed with the "mod". Thank you for the point form instructions.

I would also like to share some fact finding as mentioned in the FIRST POST by odwin1981. If you completed the process and your lapdock still not able to display a proper Chinese fonts...you may want to download the fonts pack [msyh.ttf] from this link: http://www.orbitfiles.com/download/id110199902

Place this fonts pack at C:\WINDOWS\Fonts (my PC environment is Windows XP Pro 32-Bits) and run the install.bat again!

Once again, I want to THANK YOU and THANK YOU and THANK YOU godwin1981!! Hope in the short coming future you would be able to share "How to enable Chinese Input Method" directly from the lapdock keyboard too.

I managed to figure out how to input Chinese fonts directly from the lapdock keyboard. Just install Google Pinyin IME from Market and DONE!! Other multiple languages keyboard input method does not work "perfectly" with lapdock keyboard because they do not provide "short-cut key action" for "quick select" the desire "words" you want.

In order to use the Google Pinyin IME on the lapdock keyboard, you have to goto Setting > Language & Keyboard > Input Method > select "Google Pinyin" as the input method WHILE YOUR ATRIX 4G IS ATTACHED WITH THE MULTIMEDIA-DOCK OR THE LAP-DOCK.

I need to share with those who needed to use Chinese input from the lapdock an important message. Although you may directly input Chinese fonts from your lapdock keyboard from now, however this function only "limited" to those apps which you installed in the phone itself. YOU ARE STILL NOT ABLE TO KEY IN CHINESE FONTS IN THE FIREFOX BROWSER SEARCH BAR IF YOU WANT TO FIND A CHINESE ARTICLE. YOU WOULD NEED ANOTHER TINY ADD-ON PROGRAM PROVIDED BY FIREFOX!!

Download this directly into your Atrix 4G Lapdock (of course your Atrix 4G is attached with the multimedia-dock or the lap-dock) http://www.fireinput.com/main.php and it now allow you to input Chinese fonts directly on the lapdock Safari browser search bar.

中文输入万岁!!THANK YOU!!谢谢你!!
