Good news! I managed to find and extract the official files for square QVGA too. I've updated the top post with links - the new one should be significantly sharper and better than the resized ones you provided.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
If you just want the 320x320 one - grab the file I linked earlier, as it's updated and not as big as the main one.

-

In other news - I've added some limited support for Chinese display. It's a bit glitchy on the Chinese WM emulator (doesn't display all hanzi), but not quite sure what's causing it yet. I think it might be font related - will have to investigate more.

EDIT: Yeah it's the font. Adding it would increase the bloat by quite a bit though, since it's almost twice as large as the Japanese one. I'll make a separate package with full Chinese display support later, since I don't like the font they use and don't want to mess with it for regular display. I'm also considering just creating separate cabs for the three different resolutions to reduce the size, but that will have to wait as well.

Unfortunately, setting regional settings to japanese doesn't make the yomi reappear in the contacts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Hmm.. something is screwy then. I just made a contact on my Raphael in Japanese and that works fine. I also tried doing it from Outlook 2k7 - no problem. Flexmail with CJK, also no problem.

If you go back to letsjapan (you're using 6 right? not 5?) does it work again? Try re-creating the contact - both on the phone and in outlook or whatever PIM manager you're using. It's possible there's some kind of synchronization corruption going on.

If it does work in letsjapan - switch back to my cab and add this setting back in and retry:

Hey Finix1! Your package is great! (I used it on my old Hermes until a few days ago). I am, however, just wondering if you or anybody else has had the chance to take a look at the IME in the x04ht or x05ht? (Diamond/rapheal being sold by softbank in Japan). It would be great if somebody figured out how to export it and turn it into a cab. Having just got my x05ht, I can tell you the system seems to be a major upgrade, and allows word prediction while using English, among other things, for example.....

I would of course do it myself, if I knew how......
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Bagoj:
at last

You're the man flinx1! :D

Maybe my nick sounds familiar, i was back in 2005 the first to hack the IME and SIPs from windows ce.net to WM2003/2003SE. I've spent endless weeks rebuilding os images and fiugring out how that works. The result was far from perfect and i finally gave it up and sold my pda. On this week i've bought a samsung i780 and i wasn't expecting much in this field but decided to give it a try. After a few dissapointing trys (CEStar - messed up locale, letsjapan - freeze, Effy - no text in sms window :( ) i've installed your cab and wow it works! Now with 320px SIPs this is what i've been looking for long time ago.

So thank you for your work, and for others who contributed. I won't forget to buy you that beer ;)

Regards

Oh btw i've installed PQzII and assigned a hw button to switch from alphanumeric to romaji. Is there any way to switch between hiragana/katakana input like the buttons does on the mskana sip?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
tora, I think qtotter's working on something there, but not sure how he's doing. I do have a diamond rom I intend to look at, but haven't had time to really go into the details of cooking yet. I'd rather use a Raphael ROM as a basis though, since that what I have. Do you think you could dump the rom from the x05HT for me? Instructions are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427507

I just need the par01.raw and part02.raw files - I can handle the rest myself.

Bagoj, I'm not quite sure what you mean - what exactly are you trying to do? If it's switching between kana and eigo mode, the ctrl+shift combo should do that after the first time you first activate the input and switch to one of the japanese sips. Or do you mean some other kind of switch? Most of the keyboard shortcuts from regular Windows (such as ctrl+i to convert something into katakana) should still work in winmo, if that helps. If you know the keycombo, mapping it to a hardware key should be fairly simple.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Bagoj:
On the desktop Microsoft IME has five input modes:

Hiragana, Full and half width katakana, and full and half width alphanumeric

It has keyboard shortcuts alt+caps, shift+caps and ctrl+caps. I don't know which is for half/full width but that does not matter. So i'd like to cycle through alphanumeric (or ime off), hiragana and katakana input possibly with one button.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tora201:
Hey Flinx1, yeah I did take a look at that thread before, actually.

The problem is that my Rapheal killed my mini sd. So, how to dump the rom? Can I dump into internal memory? Then, I can just move it over to my computer...

Sorry for the dumb question.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
I've been looking, but unfortunately can't find anything for swapping input modes beyond plain alpha and romaji. There's a registry setting for IME hot keys, but from my (limited) testing it doesn't seem to actually do anything:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa911905.aspx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
You don't need SD for that - you dump it using activesync. Just follow the instructions in the link, except ignore this line:

It's not necessary, as the first time you run pdocread -l it'll copy the file for you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] psyche:
Changing that registry key seems to have done the trick. Thanks!

Japanese Yomi

wondering if anyone else is noting this on their device....

When you add a contact with English only names, with Japanese regional settings, the contact is displayed about the Japanese only names. However, the English only names created on the computer appear below...In other words:

WM created English Contact names

Japanese Names

PC created English Contact names

And the quick-alphabet sidebar only sorts WM created English Contact names. I wonder why this is...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Sounds like a quirk. It might be fixed by using the Japanese version of the contact list, but I have my doubts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Kyusaku:
Hi! I am on a Treo 700wx with a custom WM6.1 ROM from a forum member named NightRaven. I was wondering how I could possibly make an alternative to the Ctrl+Shift function. The Treo has no physical Ctrl key.

Nevermind, just noticed posts with something similar will give PQzII a run.

320x320 freeze

I noticed that one other had similar problem that the phone randomly hangs up. I does the same for me and I believe I had the exact same problem with LetsJapno6 (or whatever it was called) on my p4350.

Right now I am using a i780 (320x320) with a wm6.1 96dpi rom. Viewing japanese in EBPocket, Stackz, Palringo etc works perfectly and the little I have used the IME it seems to be working just fine aswell.

When I found this (yesterday) I did a hard reset first and then reinstall all my apps including JPIMEWM6.cab.

I am 100% sure that these freezes appeard after I installed the cab. This is because since I hade my phone (a couple of weeks now) I never experienced any lock ups or freezes, then I do a hard reset install japanese support and 12 hours later it freezes exactly like my p4350 did after I installed japanese support.

http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cache...al+japanese+unstable&hl=sv&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=se

According to that thread "If you just put wince.nls at \windows\ without reloadnls.exe nor usemynls.exe, uQJ@: L

your system will be unstable and occassionally hangs up. u 8 d7vrs " so, there seems to be a connection between fiddling with japanese and my unstable WM.

This said, I have no clue what actually triggers the freeze. It doesnt seem to be when I use the IME or viewing japanese in particular. Today when it froze I was having a conversation in Palringo (in swedish) and got an SMS and the notification icon showed up in the task bar like normal but then without any warning or indication it was just frozen. The cursor-pointer-thingy that blinks was still blinking so it feels that WM is still running but doesnt accept any input what so ever.

Let me know if you want me to test something or run some debugging tools or whatever.

Keep up the good work This is probably the best cab for WM :) EBPocket and Stackz are the only reason I still use WM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Well for one thing, Japanese wouldn't work at all if you did that, and for another I do use reloadnls. I switched to that in the latest release instead of using usemynls because it's made by the CEStar guys, so presumably they still retain copyright to it. At any rate, genfersee also has stability issues and that was while I still used usemynls.exe.

I have so far not been able to trigger a freeze on my device (Touch Pro), but that could be either due to the hardware (more RAM) or software. I use a custom ROM (ROMeOS), and that might have tweaks in the registry or to the pagepool that affects stability.

This is very much a longshot - try increasing the GlyphCache limit to 32768 (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE) if it's not already set. It should speed up display as a side benefit. Also look in some of the tweak threads for your device - there may be other settings as well that improve things. Try to monitor your memory usage - see if you start hitting the limit of what your device can provide.

EDIT: Something just occurred to me - to those of you experiencing freezes, have you set JP input as default in the registry key, or are you using shift+ctrl to switch?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ultrajakob:
I am using shift-ctrl at the moment because JP as default breaks the AÜ-button (think it is called sym on other devices? the one that toggles aáà etc) of my i780 so all special chars becomes broken :(

It froze again just now and I am pretty certain that it is when I recieve an SMS/email. This time the display went on like I was going to get a call or an SMS but then nothing happened and after a while I realized that it was stuck again :(

I have disabled all notification for SMS and email (vibration, sound, blinking etc) for now and see if it happens again in the next couple of days. If not I will try setting JP as default and see if I cant get the AU-button to work.

Edit: And as for your other tip my device was already had GlyphCache set to 32768 :/
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Well that's a start at least - hopefully we'll be able to figure this out through the process of elimination. If it is the SMS or e-mail though, I doubt the notification would have much effect - it would then trigger on decoding the text of the e-email/SMS. Which clients do you use for them? And what are your regional settings set to? Are you actually getting text messages/e-mails in Japanese? Try to figure out which of the apps trigger it, text, e-mail, or both? You can set different notifications for each type if that helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ultrajakob:
Yup, you were right. The notification didnt help much and I tried switching regional settings from japanese to swedish but it still froze up on me and so far it really does seem to only freeze when I recieve an SMS. Because if it was mail I would be able to notice a new mail in my inbox after a soft reset, but the SMS disappears. I feel pretty weird sending people a lot of "did you just send a sms to me? "-messages :p

I use the default wm6.1 messaging app for both sms and mail and I am pretty sure I dont get sms in japanese (all the people that I know have swedish phones).

And as for memory usage I really cant see a connection. I have plenty of free memory (at least 50-60MB) and I havent noticed the messaging app to go crazy in any way.

So now Im gonna try setting JP as default and see if that helps.

*Sigh* My phone is SO close to perfection, but still so far away
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DoubleVision19:
I've read this whole thread and this .cab file is the one I'm looking for, but seems like it's tailored for the Diamond/Raphael...do you think it will work with my Sony Ericsson X1? I'm still looking for one that will work with my phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Yes, it should work on the X1, as it's the same resolution as the HD.

ultrajakob - I'll be making a new cab tonight that reverts to the original wince.nls file (without Chinese support) to see if that works better for you.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DoubleVision19:
Mahalos for the reply. I will give it a try later on this evening. I'll let you know the outcome.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DoubleVision19:
Okay, I installed it, but nothing is working...I'm unable to type in Japanese with my phone. Did I miss something?

Just an update...only the Qwerty Keyboard is unable to type in Japanese...any way around this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ultrajakob:
Thanks! But so far so good with JP as default keyboard input. And I realized that the ctrl-shift-shift-ctrl works both ways so it really isnt that big of a problem with the AÜ-button.

But it has only been a day and havent done that much texting. I'll keep you posted.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Do you mean the hardware keyboard?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
You mean you can use ctrl+shift to switch from Japanese input and then input Swedish characters? That's interesting. It puts me one step closer to figuring out why you can't do that on the Touch Pro.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] DoubleVision19:
Sorry, I figured it out now...I had to activate the ctrl+shift keys on the virtual keyboard first so I could use it with my hardware keyboard...Anyways, Mahalos for the application my friend.:cool:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ultrajakob:
Well, kind of. I haven't found a way to change the hardware keyboard layout to swedish because there isnt a swedish wm6.1 rom or fix for this. What I do is that I change the sym.0409.txt button so that åäö is first in line after tapping the AÜ-button. The rest of the special chars are actually the same on the keyboard.

So when I start a new app it is 0411 and the AÜ-button is broken, I do ctrl-shift and it changes to 0409 and everything is exactly the same only that my broken button now works.

Edit: nope, it still froze :/ damnit

ce-star japanese on touch pro/diamond

hey just wanted to let everyone know mobem ce-star works on the touch pro and diamond for reading & writing emails/opera & ie browsing... when i tried it a month ago it wouldn't work, but now it seems to support my devices just fine.

the japanese pack/install seems to be free.. i just get an annoying "your 15 day trial has expired, register to use more features - yes or no" dialog after a soft reset. it seems you only have to pay for using the chinese options and advanced character inputs such as hand writing recognition. I remember it being free for japanese on my mogul too, but i didn't get the dialog...

If anyone could help me get rid of the soft reset dialog, i'd be greatful.

http://www.mobem.com/products/cestarwm5.php

i was going to try what you guys have here, but it seems there's still some bugs to work out? since mobem seems to be working, i guess i'll play around with that for a while. what are teh advantages of using the fix you guys have here?

edit: ok well i think i figured out how to get rid of the annoying register to add back more features dialog (also an uninstall dialog after that)... after installing ce-star i found that it put a shortcut called dynanls.ink in the windows/startup folder... i moved it to see if that would make a difference and it removed the dialogs on bootup... all japanese functions still work.

don't know why mobem charges for chinese, but not japanese... they pretty much give us all the japanese features we want for free.

i hope the dynanls shortcut isn't important for any of the basic features, but so far i've been able to read and input just fine in emails and browser. it doesn't do anything if i click on it... oh well, i'm happy everythings working!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Here's the differences for my cab:

- should have less overall compatibility issues on WM6, CEStar still uses a nls file compiled for WM5, even on WM6 devices

- more readable font

- "\" doesn't show up as a yen symbol

- less invasive on the general UI by default at the expense of compatibility with some software. Registry keys to increase compatibility to equivalent of running a full JP edition of Winmo can be found in this thread, but will affect font display and default application language for multi-lingual apps.

- smaller memory footprint and can be slimmed down for less storage usage in addition

- doesn't stop T9 or localized hardware keyboards from working properly if you use the option to have ctrl-shift switch input languages (don't know if CE-Star does this, if not it might be possible to hack the registry in order to add it)

- uses official WM6 IME, including dictionaries and character recognition

- free, no warnings, no hassle
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] orlandojumpoff:
hmmm thanks... i'll definitely try it out if i find anything i dont like in ce-star.. got rid of the annoying boot dialog, so at least i'm good to go on that.

If i do install your files... are there any drawbacks or negative changes that i might find? Hopefully everything is updated in the first post to get me setup properly if i decide to try it out..

thanks for your response and i'll be sure to check back if need be. In any case, you've done great work here that's for sure. Nice to know i have options...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] SOULd OUT:
Perfect.

This program is huge!

I ran into a problem with ce-star... worked great for everything, but for some reason it clashed with my instant message forwarding to mobile program... whenever i responded to people that sent messages to my phone from a computer, my responses would just be a bunch of random letters.. very strange.

I'm going to try yours to see if this problem goes away, but i was shocked by how much space this program takes up... at least twice as much as cestar. i'm wondering how much space i'll save once i delete all the extra screen sizes.

edit: just got this up and working.. so far it's working great... web pages are loading nicely and my problem with forwarded instant messages is solved too...

Thanks

another edit: I find it strange that i can get the kanji for atarashii with the handwriting recognition keyboard (typed in hiragana then converted to kanji), but if i use the regular one and type it out (hiragana then convert to kanji)... it gives me options for different kanji, but none of them are for atarashii (new - 新しい). Am i doing something wrong that it's enabling the option with handwriting recognition, but not with the regular japanese keyboards?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] orlandojumpoff:
flinx1, i'll probably be using your kit for a while... but is there anything you can recommend for enabling just japanese reading on a touch pro (VGA screen)? I have a family member that doesn't need all the keyboards and input options... he just needs to be able to read emails and web pages. Any info would be great, thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fhsieh:
For that you just need the original LetsJapanNo6 package.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] orlandojumpoff:
thank you for the response, do you know of any issues related to this software?? thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Orlando - the one in the top post still uses the CJK nls file, so it's a bit bigger than necessary - about 700k or so. I was going to change it earlier, but got buried in work. I'll update it tomorrow with the old one which should be better for space/memory.

Atarashii works fine on my device - could be that CEStar didn't de-install cleanly. Are you sure you're typing it out right?

Letsjapan6 does have everything you need just for JP display, but the default settings are a bit different, so will affect font display and the like more than my cab.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fhsieh:
There should be no issues with the package itself, just install the CAB and soft-reset and you should be able to view Japanese text in emails/sms/opera/internet explorer/etc.

There are only two things to keep in mind:

Some apps will not display Japanese properly unless you set the regional settings to Japan (Start > Settings > System > Regional Settings). When you switch to Japan regional setting, other apps such as Google Maps will change its menus to Japanese. This may also be true, for example, with Japanese MP3 audio tags -- which at least for the TF3d player requires the tags to be encoded in Unicode (rather than Shift JIS or other Japanese encoding).

LetsJapanNo6 should not cause any major problems by itself, but it's possible there could be other incompatabilities with certain configurations, for example if you install other language support packages or if certain apps modify LetsJapanNo6 files.

Both of those will depend on your specific configuration (what apps you're using), so there's no way to really know if there will be any problems until you try it yourself. But of course if you do run into problems, XDA is here to help.

Best of luck, and 明けましておもでとう！
