Dear Flinx1

Do you have bitmap font for the cab you made? ( I mean JPIMEWM6.cab)

I'm using Omnia II and I can read Japanese with nice font and it seems

the font is bitmap font. But after I install your cab the font change to others.

If possible , I 'd like to get back to the original font.

Thank you .

Greetings, flinx1!

I found your app from a thread on the TP2 forum, and I must say, bravo and great job. I would say more, but I'm too busy having fun with it, since I'm learning Japanese and this is a great help, (together with ookii's pocket dictionary).

I'll dive more into it and let you knwo if I find any bugs, since I'm running a CustomROM atm. Cheers!~

ありがとう　ございます！
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fatpandas:
just wanted to note that those using energyrom's will experience the blocks under SIP changer at first. this is because the SIP changer uses helvetica fonts whose fontlinks weren't modified by this cab. just go into your registry and copy the link from, say, tahoma into all your helvetica entries and do a soft reset and it'll show up fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Aiden-Athena:
Ok,this software has some problems with Sense 2.5(On TP2) , just in case you all want to know.

Since the keyboard has to be pulled out to do the ctrl+shift activation, Sense 2.5's landscape issues will mess up the display, but don't worry, the activation should still work, if you go back to portrait (slide KB back in) and use the SIP to type.

Also, it takes a few tries to activate with the messed-up landscape mode, so if the characters don't display, just re-try the activation.

I recommend using Meiryo as your font for this, as it displays the characters in much better quality and detail as compared to MS Gothic. However, Meiryo is a licensed font, so you can't use it (legally?) unlessyou have Vista since it ships with Vista as standard.

You could use an OpenSource font like "Japan" or Mincho.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Thanks - I'll see if I can get that added in the next version.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The problem with Meiryo is the size - it's 9.4 MB. That makes it quite hard to fit on a lot of devices, and even if it does, it's going to eat up more RAM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
No, I don't. You can try a different font on your own of course, but it'll have to be a Unicode font with Japanese support.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Aiden-Athena:
Do you bundle a font together with the CAB? Or is it just as it is? I was wondering if you cold include either mincho or japan, since they are open source fonts and use up less space. Most Linux distro's ship with these two fonts for CHT or JAP input/output.

Option to use Meiryo

I'd like the option to use Meiryo. I tried adding Meiryo by hand, adding it to the \windows\fonts directory and changing all references in the registry from \windows\msgothic.ac3 to \windows\font\meiryo.ttf, but I just got mojibake.

Any advice about using Meiryo or other fonts?

Thanks,

Here's the answer to my own question from page 3

Next time I'll read more than just the first and last couple of pages.:D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Aiden-Athena:
You could install ookii's Pocket Dictionary (Japanese). It picks up meiryo for me straight away and uses it as the default font for my Japanese character input/output. I'm nto sure whether or not it modifies the registry, but you could try it out.

Which version is best for custom ROM

Hello, I myself don't know how to cook ROMs but a guy I am talking to can do it for me. He doesn't know anything about Japanese stuff hence my question here. I am in Japan and I have a Softbank Touch Pro. I want WME 6.5 but with Japanese language support. Is it safe to put the "experimental" WM6.5 version posted on this thread here in my ROM, or am I better off going with the regular version?

Also off topic, is there any particular custom ROM floating around that anyone would recommend for the Softbank variant of the Touch Pro?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Skeese:
What do i need to install if i only need to display japanese? I don't need the whole inputting keyboards etc. Would just like to view japanese websites properly...

Sending email with japanese text

I installed lets japan6 on my Htc tytn and my question is? I can read and write characters but i can’t send email through explorer, hotmail or skyfire browsers.

What am i doing wrong?

I appreciate some advise on this issue.

this dosnt work all the way for me

HTC touch pro 2 MightyROM 6.5

i tryed replacing the registry in the font links and got it to do input japanese and installed the ooki keyboard thingy, then reflashed for this to a blank rom of mightyrom... my touch pro 2 is cdma.

anyways

i get all the text to show up using this! however the japanese keyboards dont do any kind of input even if i select it. i tryed installing PQzII ver 0.8 and that didnt help... also my power button dosnt shut off my device it just puts it to sleep and now my end call button if held powers down the device insted of my power button...

any ideas?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
CDMA devices are rather short on memory, so that could be an issue. If ookii includes Meiryo, I suggest you try without it. The power button thing is related to PQzII most likely. Check the PQzII web site to see if there's a fix.

Try also the compatibility cab listed in the first post in the thread. You shouldn't have to screw around with the font stuff unless you really want to use a different (Unicode font) that you've added yourself.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Get Lets Japan 6 then.

As mentioned earlier in the thread this is most likely due to the encoding used by the mail app. The only thing I can suggest is to use Flexmail as I know it works. There may be other apps out there that supports Japanese encoding.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It should be safe. The installation is more prone to not pick up the names for the SIPs for some reason, but if you install the 6.1 first and then the 6.5 one it fixes it. If you embed it into a custom ROM hopefully it'll work better.

I do have a full 6.5 version lying around here, but I haven't gotten around to releasing it yet. I just need to add the romaji keyboard back into the .cab first, which involves reinstalling the cab editing software on my computer (reformatted and upgraded to Win7).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] トロワ:
i am sure that PQzII is not compatable with my deive... however i am also sure alot of this stuff dosnt work for the TP2 because i did the following.

1st tryed installing lets japan 6 and it crashed my device so i had to reflash (keyboard didnt work at all)

2nd i tryed enabling though the redgistry the japanese font and that kind of worked but keyboard japanese didnt work at all only us charectures... and no regional settings to japan...

3rd i did it with your 6.5 experemetail stuff first (that didnt include the PQzII) it displayed boxes untell i set the region to japan then it displayed correct...

i then however i can read japanese just fine but cant input it at all all the keyboards work but when you hit a button its like nothing happens, when i write kanji i can see it drawing the kanji and recognizing it and listing it but when i push on it nothing again happens PQzII displays a white box over the start menu. i tryed the pqzII for w5 first then w6...

my device dosnt have a controll or tab key on the keyboard. at all. so i cant ctrl shift or anything like that.

please help ^^

thanks for your previous responce.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
That means you haven't triggered the language switch. Either change the registry entry mentioned in the top post, use the compatibility cab or you can do the ctrl+shift switch from a software SIP.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] トロワ:
after changing the keyboard to your string (which i dont think is a touch pro 2 keyboard) i hard booted the device now the device dosnt power on all the way. it freezes at Touch Pro 2, guess its time to reflash another rom.

UPDATE:

copyed msgothic.ttc to windows dir and modifyed redgistry as follows.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]

"MS Gothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

"MS PGothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

"MS UI Gothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

"Courier New"="\\windows\\msgothic.ttc,MS UI Gothic"

"Tahoma"="\\windows\\msgothic.ttc,MS UI Gothic"

"HelveticaNeue LT 55 Roman"="\\windows\\msgothic.ttc,MS UI Gothic;\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

"HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin"="\\windows\\msgothic.ttc,MS UI Gothic;\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

"Helvetica Neue OTS"="\\windows\\msgothic.ttc,MS UI Gothic;\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"

then installed ookii japanese input and reset device

then installed your japanese 6.5 experemtnail cab

it reset its self

then compatability

reset

set region to japan

reset

keyboards work software wise... hardware keyobard now works also, and inputs in japanese ime. there is no way to swap right without redoing a registry each time?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Don't do all that. All you have to do is install the 6.5 cab and then the compatibility cab. That was the entire point of creating this - no messing around with copying files or modifying the registry.

The font stuff is already configured, as is the Japanese region (if you use the compatibility cab). You also don't need ookii input, and it could cause compatibility issues. It's also not as flexible on stroke order as the MS IME, so not much point in adding it.

If you really want to screw around with stuff, I can't stop you, but please don't expect me to give support for a screwed up installation. I don't even touch the hardware keyboard configuration for instance, so if that breaks it's something you've done or installed.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] トロワ:
the default package dosnt work though. input dosnt work no way to switch between ego and nihongo. with the current setup on the tp2. i had to do the other stuff to get your package to work. i can revert it but then how to swich from the japan to us on TP2 without ability to.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The stuff you did still has no effect on being able to switch or not. With Japanese set as default, you switch between English and Kana using the romaji SIP - that's in the 6.1 version only at the moment. I'll add that back in for the 6.5 when I release that.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] トロワ:
can the 6.1 version work in 6.5? i cant seem to get

2008-04-05	0.0.8c	PQzII_WM6_20080405_008c.cab for WM5/WM6

or

2008-12-06	0.0.8e3 [Update]	PQzII_Raph_20081206_008e3.cab

for HTC Raphael/Diamond

to work on the HTC Touch pro 2

and if its allways in japanese i cant log in to my bank or send text msg to US phone because its in 日本語 loging into skype is even not posible. calling still works lucky but email i cant add because in japanese always. so i cant comunicate with my japanese friends.

is the sip available as a seperate addon cab?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The 6.1 version works. For PQzII, talk to the author of that.

Skype uses the region setting, which you can safely set to English (or some other region). You'll have to experiment and see which setting you need to set it to for, depending on the apps you use.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] トロワ:
the 6.1 version works on 6.5? so why is there a 6.5 version? is there a way to make another key my ctrl key on my keyboard? i tryed nueSIPDefault but it only changes what keyboard is default it does nothing for making ime change. does the tingy described in the 2nd or 3rd post about the SYM key value work for the touch pro 2?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Because the 6.5 version contains newer versions of the files, simple as that.

You can still use ctrl+shift to switch using a software SIP by the way - presumably one of the ones that come with the the TP2 has them.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] orlandojumpoff:
so which version should i install on 6.5 then since 6.1 works?? are there bugs for using 6.1 on 6.5 or bugs using 6.5 experimental? please clarify, so i don't mess anything up. thanks in advance. loved using this on my 6.1 stock rom by the way.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The files in the 6.5 version contains a mix of 6.5 and 6.1, so I labeled it experimental as there might be unknown bugs that would surface as a result. Since no one's reported anything specific to either version, you can use whichever one you want. Right now the only perceivable difference is that the 6.5 experimental version doesn't have the romaji SIP - I removed it since I never used it and it just took up space. People who need/want it, should grab the 6.1 version instead (at least for now).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] orlandojumpoff:
thanks for the reply! i'll try 6.5 and report if i find anything strange that wasn't in 6.1 version i used to use. also, will this work okay with a touch pro2? i have diamond and tp2.. thanks again
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] トロワ:
the software keyboards dont have it... and now i signed out of skype and cant log in because its in japanese input not english, the device wont let me past the password eather >.<
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It should work on a TP2 as well.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] トロワ:
what should? the touch pro 2 keyobards only have Up down left right arrows and shift controll is missing >.<
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
So get a non-gimped TP2 that has those keys? Or you can use a software SIP that has them, or you can use PQzII, or you can change the default input to Japanese and use the SIP to switch between kana and english. Plenty of options. I have no control over what keys are used to do the switch by the way - MS is the one that's programmed it this way to begin with, and I don't even know of any phone maker that adds the necessary registry entries to do the switch. I'm just exposing those controls for us users.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] orlandojumpoff:
you can use rhodium keyboard controller found in tp2 forums that lets you remap your hardware keyboard. you can add a shift and control key in easily as secondary functions to other keys.

I tried the key combo on the normal touch diamond softboard but it doesnt enable anything. I can select the keyboards, but they wont input anything.

How do I fix this? I just want to be able to just select the japanese input on the few occasions I need it. I dont want to do all sorts of key combo's everytime.

What should I do?

Oh, little offtopic but does anybody happen to know why the dictionairy app from the post is so onlogical? I mean just try searching for ''dog'' for exable and instead of doing the thing which would be most logical, start off by showing ''inu'' it shows all sorts of waaaay to complex translations. I mean why is the word for foreign dog waaay above the word for dog if I search for dog?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sjaak1234:
NM, got it working...

Oke so I did manage to get it working a other way. Something I noticed though on a quick test is that if I input japanese in lets say my agenda (thumbcal) and sync with my pc it wont display properly. If I input from outlook and sync with my Diamond it will display properly. Mail etc also works right.

However, SMS does not work! it will only show ?????. However, in your sent box it will display the message you sent properly (I texted myself) so its only for incoming messages.

Does anybody knows why this happens? I can live with the agenda not working properly but japanese langauge SMS is kinda vital for me.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] sjaak1234:
Oke tested some more. I think it has something to do with whatever way WiMo handles the whole input/display thing because receiving SMS from a iPhone with Japanese text does display properly. However, sending SMS to a iPhone wont display properly. Only ?????? will show.

Japanese Input for Sprint Touch Pro 2

I recently purchased Sprint version of HTC Touch Pro 2 and would like to have Japanese display and input option added. As posted on #1, I have installed JPIMEWM6.cab firstly. This enabled my phone to display Japanese letters perfectly, but my keyboard (both soft and hard) wouldn’t switch to Japanese input. Even by pressing T9, it wouldn’t let me switch to Japanese input. Since the Sprint version does not have a Ctrl key, I cannot press Ctrl + Shift to switch to English typing to Japanese. Then I have installed PQzII, hoping that I would switch the entry, it didn’t work. If someone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fatpandas:
what methods did you use? using the handwritten input SIP, does it work? and the "Keyboard" SIP should have a "ctrl" key on it and i'm pretty sure all HTC's have that SIP. use that to switch to japanese input.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tokyoboy7:
I used soft keyboard SIP (PQzII), which has ctrl, shift, and alt keys, but it did not switch to Japanese.

I hope this answered to your question. :)

Compatibility with English (Asian) ROM?

flinx1,

I've just bought my HD2 in Singapore. We use the English (Asian) ROM here and my ROM version is 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE.

As most of the owners of HTC devices in this thread are based in North America, Europe or Japan, I guess probably none of them have experience with the English (Asian) ROM, which includes Chinese display and input (pinyin and handwriting) in HTC's default Touch Input for Pocket PC.

I've gone through all 38 pages of this thread and the only reference so far (correct me if I'm wrong) to Chinese input is your post on page 29, post #281 "wid4008, yes this addon isn't compatible with CE-star or Chinese input and display."

In a similar thread by a HD2 owner in Hong Kong who mentioned that his HD2 also have native Chinese input, he has installed the addon but can't type Japanese (alas, he didn't go into specifics...)

Thus, can I know is the statement "this addon isn't compatible with CE-star or Chinese input and display" cast in stone or can a workaround be created, as I REALLY would love to install your addon :) (Note: I've not installed the cab file yet... should I do that first?)

I'll be more than happy to assist you in finding ways to create a workaround.

Regards,

kakukan
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It seems some HD2 users have been having issues getting it to work, mainly due to having trouble with activating and swapping. I'm not sure if that's user error or what, since I don't have a HD2 myself.

That said, I don't recommend using this with a Chinese rom, as it will break Chinese input and display. You'll have to use CE-star or a different CJK tool.

Loss of English input...

Thanks for all your hard work! I installed all the files, and now I have all the different Japanese input keyboards, which is great. But when I use my browser (eg, to access facebook, etc) and a few other note apps, I can't type in English anymore. Instead, it as the dotted underline as I type (and turns into kana automatically).

Is there a way to disable this if I just want to type in normal English?

Edit: I am using an HD2.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ichiai:
hey hey sorry for the late reply.

i hope you managed to figure it out. Like i said, it works better on your phone as if you have freshly flashed your phone. if you had any other imes or other keyboards installed it might cause some problems.

ive followed my own procedure like 5 times already, so if the problem is not in the procedure and and appears to be more techinical you might want to resort to some other knowlegabel fellows or other methods.

however if you have succesfully managed to get this working, the ability to work the keyboard comes with practice! works alright with me!
