The link given earlier was wrong and went to the Willcom version. Their site is of course limited to phones that use their network. Here's the official live install:

http://download.microsoft.com/downl...EA55E8E5EDE2/WindowsLive_0411.PPC2005_arm.cab

If changing to Japanese region settings in the control panel isn't enough to get it work, you might need to use the ime6compat.cab. Getting a Japanese version of poutlook is much harder, since you'll probably have to rip that from a Japanese rom and then cook it in.

Flexmail definitely works as noted earlier (and is worth paying for even).

I got it working on my xperia by using PQzII since I don't have ctrl+shift on my keyboard. strangely it wouldn't work until i changed over to the diamond icon set.

I have a question about handwriting tho. How do I enable it for use, I can see the handwriting input if I change my keyboard input to 手書き mode but once I draw a character and select it, it doesn't insert it into word. am I using the handwriting mode incorrectly? I have pqzII on japanese input mode when I'm handwriting.

PQzII_check doesn't seem to work on the xperia, it just throws an error. Do you know of any other programs to determine the code values of keyboard buttons? I want to map the sip change to my "au" button.

P.S. i turned of the tray icon to see if it would work without it and now I can't figure out how to reenter the setup screen for pqzII since the way i did it before was to tap and hold on the icon
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
You'll need to use the ctrl+shift enabler for handwriting input as well. If you're having trouble, try activating keyboard input first so you're sure works, and then switch to tegaki. Alternatively if you don't need/want T9, you can just change the registry key mentioned in the first post of this thread.

To re-enter the setup screen for PQzII I think you just have to click on the shortcut for it again once it's running. Can't help more with the software however, as I don't use it or pqzii check. Maybe someone in the X1 forum can help - or the author of pqzII/pqzcheck.

Any chance to get this working on some wm 6.5 roms?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
I've confirmed this as working on Shep's 6.5 wwe raphael rom. Are there any it's not working on, and could you describe the symptoms?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
hmm if you say it works in 6.5 I'll try some different roms and see what happens. i'll get back to you soon if there is any recurring symptoms across 6.5 roms.

this is kind of a long shot since I know you are just providing a package of microsoft imes but do you know of any way to make the handwriting box bigger? maybe a registry setting somewhere? the recognition is really good but it can get pretty hard to write some of the more complicated kanji in the space provided. or do you know of any alternatives software? ce-star's penpower is a good idea where you can write on the whole screen but since it uses a stroke based algorithm its bad for someone trying to lookup the kanji in a dictionary and won't know the stroke order
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Keep in mind I only have a GSM Touch Pro, so if any rom issues appear on a different device it can be hard to troubleshoot.

As for the resize thing, I'll look into it. I have an idea that *may* work, but no promises.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
i got it working, it was just stupidity on my part, i forget to change the preload reg key when I flashed the new rom.

I'm looking forward to hear back from you on your resize idea :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The method I was thinking of using to do the re-size turned out to be a bust. On the other hand, I did learn quite a bit more about how the SIP resources are made, so I can do some other stuff like translate the entire interface if I wanted to. I might do that at some other point in time - I'll be looking at getting hold of newer SIPs instead first.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
are there newer sips floating around on windows mobile phones in japan? I guess its probably impossible to increase the size without the scource code tho.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
There's newer versions of the files (I just grabbed one), and there's also alternative sips that inplement other features. Zgembo extracted one of the sips from one of the Japanese phones, used for finger based input.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
do the other sips have a larger input? because I can't wait then :). I'm going to japan in july and I want to use my phone as a kanji dictionary when I'm there
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Not that I know of, but then I haven't really had a proper look yet. The one softbank rom I tried a while back blocked me due to not having a softbank sim.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] uccoffee:
for input , I use this one at the moment http://ookii.org/software/

and the dictionary as well :D

but you still need to install jap font to view it
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
I've seen that one but it says the algorithm is stroke based so I was expecting it to have the same problems I had with ce-star, I'll give it a try tho, thanks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't look like ookii has a bigger intput field than the regular IME.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
I've been looking around in the dll, I'm curious what method you tried, before I start messing around with it. thanks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Tried using a resource editor to change the graphics. Unfortunately the frame for them is defined by code, not resources, and to fix that I'd need access to the original source code for it. It's either that or start messing with a debugger, and I don't have the time or skills to do that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Anatasia:
Is there any mirror like mediafire to download since the rapidshare's has reached the limit
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
I'll try and come up with a more permanent solution, but I'll reupload it to rapidshare for now. Check the top post in about 5 minutes or so.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aro:
rapidshare link in first post does not work for me. :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Fixed and added a second link. This should be fixed in a couple of days as soon as the paperwork for a proper hosting site goes through.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Starfox:
Thanks for the package.

I installed it on a near-clean Diam500 and most of it is working. The only major issue I have is in the regional control panel where English (US) loses the date format dropdowns. I managed to get around it by using TF3D Config, but it was a bit annoying. I also found out that I can switch into IME mode by using the ロマージ/かな keyboard ctrl+shift without going into Full Keyboard first. Maybe this was an unintentional feature from the newer IME? Also, the installer offer to install on the internal 4G, but I don't think anything got put on there. ^^')

Anyway, I'm happy to be able to read 日本語 now.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The date format dropdowns in the regional settings looks fine to me. Can you take a screenshot so I'm sure we're talking about the same thing? Alternately, what option did you change in TF3D Config? If it's fixable there, I can add it to the cab.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aro:
no name in SIP selection menu

Hi,

I could donwload from the new link you added, and after installation, I can read and type Japanese character just fine.

Also the drop down date fields in regional settings for US are still working as they should.

Only problem I have is, that in the SIP selection menu, the newly added input modes do not display a propper name, but only a "/" (see screen print attached).

I did not receive any error message during installation, and as I said, typing works fine.

Is there any way to fix this, so that is shows e.g. hiragana or something?

Thanks and regards,
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Since several people seem to have trouble with this, I've uploaded a cab to the first post that renames the SIPs as a stopgap measure. Mind you, I'd like to see the problem for myself so I can try and figure out the cause - is the info in your signature updated and correct? You're still using Elite RC3?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bkh_0538:
Only for Raphael and Diamond?

Dear Fl1nx,

Can this Japanese input I use for O2 Atom Life? Or anybody have try this to O2 Atom Life? Thx....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
As long as it uses Windows Mobile, it should work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aro:
No, sorry, signature was slightly out of date.

I switched to RC4 some days ago.

Maybe that is the point.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bkh_0538:
I've tried to install it at my O2 Atom Life with the PDAVIET ROM build 20764 but it can not work.... The keyboard appearance was OK like my Raphael.... but if I type some words in hiragana, the word was not appear..... just blank..... and the cursor didn't move.....

I've installed ime6comp.cab and I've also change the reg for the keyboard preload default, but still cannot work.....

Some one has any troubleshooting? Thank you.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aro:
After I installed your fix, it actually showed ひらがな in the SIP selection.

Then I made a soft reset, and now it shows Hiragana/Katakana.

I believe showing everything written in Romanji is the content of your fix, right?

I wonder why after installation of the fix, before soft reste he was showing ひらがな in the SIP selection. Any explanation for this?

Anyway, thanks for the fix. It is much better than just having a "/" in the selection box.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
I couldn't get it to work on my x1 without using PQzII, you should try using PQzII and see what happens
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] bkh_0538:
Thanks for CowMix..... and for Flinx1 thank you very much.

The Japanese input has worked well already..... I forgot to activate the addons......

Thank you for all.... Problem has been resolved.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
Hey flinx do you know any alternatives to PQzII? It works well the only problem is it seems to disable my hardware volume keys 0_o. Thanks :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
No, but check the pqzii page to see if there's a version/profile aimed at your device. It should also be possible to customize the key codes

I'm doing two things normally - one is to enable support for Japanese, and the other is to add the SIPs. While it usually works, it's possible that on some ROMs the registry changes don't get stored properly without loading support for Japanese language settings first. A soft reset after that and then adding the SIPs with Japanese might work. Another possibility is to simply reinstall the original cab on top of the other one (let the previous one deinstall), since the NLS should still be loaded in memory until you soft reset the phone.

Yet another possibility is that the Japanese in the cab is malformed in some way. I'll see if I can grab RC4 and reproduce the problem, since that lets me try out different things.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Exactly how are you using PQzII to get it working? Even if I can't fix it in my cab I can at least include proper instructions in the top post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Okay I flashed RC4, installed my cab, and basically http://xkcd.com/583/

Try it with a clean install - btw. exactly which raphael do you have? There are some slight differences in specs, particularly the available memory.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
the steps I got it to work are pretty much as follows:

install your japanese ime

change preload default to e0010411

reset

install pqzII

set pqzII ime to the au button on my xperia keyboard

the japanese ime will not work until I press au

when i do anything else i either mess up the keyboard (whenever i press any key I get a long string a garbage characters) or the japanese input doesn't' work. also since i don't have a ctrl button on my x1 keyboard I have to use the diamond soft keyboard method, but even after doing ctrl shift shift ctrl, I still need to press au on my keyboard to enable japanese input.

I recently flashed a new rom so i don't have anything installed yet, its still fresh so I can try anything if you have any suggestions or if I'm just doing something stupid :P
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Instead of using PQzII, try first using the soft keyboard ctrl+shift trick and then switching to the romaji/kana SIP. After that press the kana button (switch back to eigo and back to kana again if necessary). Does that work?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] CowMix:
thanks, I'm stupid :P

Download

mmmm...

Download links on first post don't work...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] yukster:
Hi larsuck,

Thanks, I tried it out, but it didn't seem to have the desired effect... Since I couldn't find the Option3 anywhere in the registary, I created one under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/IMEJP/3.1/MSIME. At soft reset, it did seem to set the IME mode to romaji, but as soon as I opened any application, it reverted back to hiragana.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ellaqezi:
I got this error from rapidshare:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
That's very strange, as that option is already set in the cab. I just checked on my phone (clean install from latest EnergyROM), and it's there and works.

EDIT: NM - you were talking in general, not my cab. This option was mentioned on the first page of this thread btw.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
RS links should work again now, hopefully the last time.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Starfox:
Sorry for the late reply.

1) You don't need reloadnls if you can copy the wince.nls to \windows. It can be safetly deleted, and it will work just fine. I didn't need it on my Q9C on WM5, and I've already deleted the Startup for it.

2) The missing input panel issue is due to the NLS not correctly being interperted during the install. Reinstall the CAB and it will show up correctly the second time.

3) The issue with the Gregorian Calendar seems to be when in Japanese regional setting mode, you set it to anything other than Western Calendar (Japanese). When you change it back to English (US), it doesn't know about the calendar so the long/short display is blank. It can be corrected by going back to Japanese regional setting, not rebooting, then set it back to Western Calendar, then going back to English (US).

Anyways, it's working for me, so thanks.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
When I first experimented with this, just copying over the nls file wasn't enough - I'll do some checks next week when I have access to my build machine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Starfox:
Are there any devices out there that won't allow for overwriting \windows files? To my knowledge it was a relic of wm2003 where rom and flash were separate. I recall doing a manual wince.nls on my now-dead MotoQ, and I didn't have an issue on it even when using File Explorer.

Maybe it is harmless, but I'm trying to save some boot time on a stock DIAM500. Since I didn't need to use sdkcert or the two-level lock (which I did have to do on the Q), I figured that reloadnls became obsolete.

Also, are there any plans of integrating KeyTouch? I was reading on the other thread that it was included in the new Softbank TP Rom, and it did predictive JP&EN, but someone said that it wasn't compatible with your package. Sorry if I missed it somewhere, but trying to surf only on a 480*640 as your sole 'net device makes it a wee bit hard to search through stuff.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Starfox:
I'd also like to put in a request for including Meiryo instead of MSGothic. There may be a slight licensing issue, but anyone who has a valid Vista, Office08, or XP (and downloaded the Meiryo pack) would have no issues with it. Only thing is that you'd need to kitchen it to make it ac3, but from what I've read, people swear by it esp. with ClearType over Gothic.

I like your package because it's a single install, so incl. Meiryo would make it a lot easier for me. Thanks.

-- Starfox
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ellaqezi:
hi! awesome cab. thanks!!

two things, some of my romaji/kana keyboard's characters aren't working

could it be because i have a german ROM?

i read that option3 D is for direct input... what other options are there for this registry key?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Meiryo is too bloated IMO and the only way I'd consider it if it was compressed. I've yet to find any tools for that unfortunately.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It's a possibility. I'll try and grab a german emulator image to see how it reacts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Jyosua:
Wow. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this man.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elythor:
Seems like the RS link is down again :(

Perhaps you can try uploading to other sites like Megaupload?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Got my own hosting now - should be no more RS issues :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Elythor:
Thanks! The new link is working great.

I'm wondering if your .cab only works for GSM Diamonds? I have a CDMA Diamond with a custom rom running WM 6.1 (Mighty ROM from PPCGEEKS)

Does anyone else tried running this addon on CDMA Diamonds?

EDIT: I answered my own question. I reflashed to the stock Telus ROM and got the addon working. For some reason installing the cab on Mightyrom bricked my Diamond :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Some of the CDMA phones have a lot less free memory available, so it's possible that that might be an issue. Other than that, it should work fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] miweak:
hello,

I just installed this .cab . It works great but i got a problem.

I cant use Phone keypad and Compact QWERTY anymore. Only number are written.

Thanks for your helps!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Phone keypad and compact qwerty will not work if you use the ime6compat.cab - do a regular install and use shift+ctrl to activate Japanese instead as described in the top post.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] miweak:
Thanks for replying.

I cant use shift +ctrl because i 'm on Diamond device.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Yes you can. I've described how in the top post of this thread even :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] alterception:
Whenever I install PQzII, it has the icon right next to the start button and it shows no icon. Does anyone else have this problem?

btw I'm using a Touch Diamond Pro
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Starfox:
I believe it's in the sdk as one of the build options. As per Microsoft:

Agfa AC3 Font Compression

SYSGEN_AGFA_FONT

The company Agfa Monotype has been renamed to Monotype Imaging, and the Agfa AC3 Font Compression technology is now called Monotype Imaging AC3 Font Compression. Constants and variables in Windows Embedded CE 6.0 using the name Agfa have not been changed.

Basically, someone has to build a rom with that enabled and include Meiryo, then you can use the ac3 file in your cab.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] blurp76:
Thanks for creating this cab.. it works fine on my Touch Diamond (Shaks 4.30 rom). The only problem i have is that i can't display japanese characters in the HTC Enhancement Menus. I can only see squares. They display correctly if i revert to the original Windows menus. I'm sure this can be get to work because they displayed correcly before i had to reset my device. The SIP names also were displayed in japanese.

I can't remember what i did exactly to make it work. I've read all this thread but i haven't found nothing regarding this matter.

Any Help? Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
What's the HTC Enhancement Menus?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] blurp76:
The menu shown on post #216. I see only squares instead of japanese text. I'm not referring to just the Sip selection, but to any other japanese app's menu.

I've got an option on my rom to revert to standard WM menus and Japanese works fine there

I'll try to get screenshot and post it here.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] blurp76:
Ok i managed to get a couple of screenshots
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] blurp76:
Ok, don't worry, i managed to fix it by myself..

I've changed HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMenus\FontFace to Tahoma.

It doesnt look as nice as the old Helvetica i had, but at least it works!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
Hi flinx1!

First of all I want to say thank you very much for this wonderful app!

I have a small problem though. It seems that by default the files end up in the main device memory, where they take up about half of my available space. Is it possible to move some or all of them to my storage? Most of my apps are installed on my storage card and I clean out my IE cache, cookies and history regularly, is there anything more I can do to make room?

FYI, I have a Samsung i900 with standard ROM and I already deleted the files you suggest in your top post.

Many thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
You can most likely delete the reloadnls.exe file and the shortcut to it in the startup directory, but that'll only save you like 5KB. Unfortunately the files in the addon have to be installed to the main device memory to work, since they're system files. If you want more space you'll either have to cook your own rom and include my files in it, or flash a custom rom someone else has made that's not as bloated as the standard one. Custom roms also tend to be faster and have updated drivers, so that's probably the best route overall.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
Many thanks, I will try that!

Also, would disabling some of the SIPs save me some space? I already have a hiragana keyboard from my electronic dictionary and while it's neat to have romaji/kana input I don't think I will use it often (I'm very keen on tegaki though). I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm still new to this game.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Disabling SIPs will not save you space unfortunately, as the files are still there. However, if you just use tegaki, you can in theory disable the romaji and kana and then delete the following files:

msimj.dll

msimj.192.dll

mskana.dll

mskana.192.dll

Mind you, I have no idea how that would affect the stability of the device or JP input.
