I think I will be fine with just a normal English keyboard (for English and romaji), the hiragana keyboard from my dictionary (also works for Word, email, SMS, notepad) and the 2 handwriting input options.

I guess I will try to delete some other stuff I don't use much before I delete the dll files, in case that will stop my hiragana keyboard working, but just in case, what would be the correct file path for disabling the other SIPs? Sorry again if this is a stupid question, as I said I'm still a noob.

Many thanks again!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It's not so much a stupid question, as it's a vague one - which SIPs do you want to disable? If it's the romaji one, it's the msimj files, if it's the kana one it's the mskana ones. Or are you referring to a different SIP? At any rate, you'll most likely have to disable the SIPs and reboot before you can delete the files, since they'll be loaded into memory.

Personally I think the romaji one is the most useless one of the bunch, and may end up just ditching it if I can do it without affecting stability. It may actually improve it even, if it reduces the memory footprint. I've already checked, and the symbol input is also available in the other two SIPs. Does anyone actually seriously need/want the romaji SIP? If you have a hardware keyboard, it doesn't matter which one you use, and if you want to use a software one, kana is going to be faster anyway. There's also 10-key input for phones with no HW keyboard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
Ideally I'd like to remove the romaji/kana and hiragana/katakana SIPs, but keep the handwriting input and the hiragana keyboard from my dictionary.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] blurp76:
I just tried to a way to switch from english to japanese input without clicking ctrl+shift, because it involved changing sip to the plain soft keyboard.

I've mapped an hardware key to PQz_KEY.exe D:11 D:10 U:10 U:11 and it seems to work fine. I can switch between input methods, and T9 works again when i switch back to english (in the same session).

Working on a Diamond with ROM shaks 4.30
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
You're actually not supposed to lose T9 input (you don't when used on an emulator), so I think it's a bug specific to HTC ROMs and how they made their SIPs. If it works on shaks, that means something is different for that ROM.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
I got rid of my dictionary keyboard and installed SPB keyboard to switch between English and romaji/kana. It can also switch between full screen and half screen, portrait and landscape and various other languages (and comes with nice skins).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Added experimental test version that uses some WM6.5 files.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] g2tl:
Is there a way to add Korean support? I'm using asukal's korechithai with a korean soft keyboard, which is really frustrating given I have an HTC Fuze with a friggin hardware keyboard.

Thx in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Don't know if this is the same one, but you can try it:

http://my.opera.com/cameron_en/blog/2008/02/03/ime-complete-installation-files-download-section

My cab can't be used unfortunately, since the nls file doesn't support Korean (or Chinese for that matter).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wettrix:
I have tried this and it worked a little bit on my htc rose. I'm just wondering if this is suppose to work for internet explorer also. Because I would really like it to work for that as well as skype.

So far this is the only program that has worked.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It should work on Internet Explorer and Skype just fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wettrix:
okey I've read and tried a bunch of things. Done a dosen hard reset with new installments and it doesn't really work properly.

I can write however the japanese can only be displayed in office files. IE and skype only shows rectangulars etc. I uploaded some badly taken pictures.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Please read the compatibility notes in the first post and let me know if that works for Skype.

I just tested IE on my phone, and say www.yahoo.co.jp opens up and reads fine. You can also try changing the default encoding in the IE options. Some Japanese web sites don't properly define the encoding, with the result that you may have to manually switch between UTF, SJIS and EUC until you find something that works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wettrix:
I have tried to do the compatibility notes again and still no result. Skype and IE is the same. I even tried to change some codes in IE to make it work but with no results. And most of yahoo.co.jp showed rectangulars again.

I however tried to change font to meiryo, however it just felt wide and stupid and it doesn't go well with swedish text.

I haven't completely given up yet. I'm currently wondering if it is something in regedit that needs to be set so it works for my mobile. I checked some programs and it only seems to work on skype (just introduction to skype), music player (songs) and office.

Any help will do good, I really want this to work for my studies :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Are you using the regular version or the 6.5 one? Does "Japanese" show up as selectable in the Regional Settings in the Control Panel?

It does sound to me like it's not installing/loading properly. Try the regular version and hard reset your device prior to installation - make sure the JP cab is the first one you install before you add anything else.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wettrix:
Okay a little update now before I take my sleeping break. I've done the most of the most.

Basic facts Yes I can change to japanese in regional settings.

I haven't used 6.5, only once to try.

Now I've been doing it for some hours. Still same result except a small change. I can't input but I discovered that I will get the same results without actually using ime6compat.cab as I have now except my HTC Home skin doesn't fail. I guess thats a plus at least.

ime6SIPnamefix.cab doesn't really help either so. I'm guessing it all has to do with something that wont install properly. Maybe not the font itself since it's working it just wont work for menues for skype or IE. I tried yahoo japan and it worked fine but wikipedia jap didn't work at all so.

Going to try some more tomorrow. For now if someone else owns a HTC s740 and gets it to work please type here if you did something unique. I'm so close, just need my fonts in skype at least :).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wid4008:
Thank you very much for this!

I have installed it on my TyTNII and it works great.

I used to be using CE-star but was not very satisfied with its performance. Moreover, I cannot input Japanese kanji using handwriting input.

The only proble I have after installing this is that Chinese input is no longer there and Chinese display is greatly affected. Most of the Chinese words appear as squares.

I solved the input problem by installing TouchPal and also the display problem by replacing msgothic.ac3 with sunglobe.ttf.

I also made changes to the registry by replacing "msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic" with "sunglobe.ttf,UniSun" in the respective strings (Courier New and Tahoma for my case) in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink

I actually prefers the sunglobe fonts as they look nicer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
wettrix, check this registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink

Courier New and Tahoma should be mapped to msgothic and the other way around. If there are other fonts in there, they would need to be mapped as well.

wid4008, yes this addon isn't compatible with CE-star or Chinese input and display. I want to keep the size down to something reasonable, since most people don't need both. You don't need touchpal though - just grab the wince.nls file from CE-star in addition to switching the font lik you did.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
Hi again,

I was wondering if there is a trick to make this work on Opera 9 browser. IE dutifully displays Japanese kana and everything else is still working beautifully, just Opera is giving me trouble.

Many thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wettrix:
Okey I checked a little but it didn't really work here is a pic from regedit. I'm guessing it's right since.

Dont really know what the problem is.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Opera 9.5 build 15613 works fine on my Touch Pro. Sounds like you have a broken install, just like wettrix. See what I mentioned above about reinstalling. You might even need to reinstall multiple times for it to stick.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
I have build 2520. It initially displays the page in kana and then reverts back to squares.

It's not so important, I just use IE for the Japanese web pages and Opera for most other things. I'm just curious.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Starfox:
Personally, I would leave ロマージ alone.

You can see from the replies at http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1414759254 where many Japanese people prefer that keyboard, myself included. I just find that once I'm in IME it's best to leave it be, because pressing 英数 is a lot easier than trying to get the other IME back working.

I did like the comment from the person about to kill his boss because everytime the boss uses his computer it's left in かな mode.^^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
That link's not really aimed at phones - that's computers. I will give you it's much faster to switch to english input from the romaji one, but the problem is that if you're going to be using a pure software keyboard, the kana one is much faster for Japanese since you have to press half the keys to get the same output. You're going to be trying to press incredibly tiny buttons anyway - might as well take advantage of kana. If you have a hardware keyboard, like on the TP, it doesn't really matter which SIP you use, since you can still use the romaji input from the keyboard.

Mind you, this is an experiment for now, and comments like yours is precisely why I posted it - I want feedback. If people want romaji despite its slowness, I'll consider adding it back in. It's still there in the 6.1 release as well.

What I think we really need is a new kana SIP that has bigger and fewer buttons. I would also like one with a much larger input area for drawing kanji - it's hard enough as it is with the tiny area you're given with the default one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fatpandas:
mm just noting my experience with the 6.5 version. japanese output works fine but input doesn't work at all. SIP keyboards show up fine but they don't really do anything. and is there a way around use ctrl? i have the fuze so theres no ctrl button...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Follow the instructions in the top post for devices with no hardware keyboard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fatpandas:
i assume you mean using PQzII as the fuze has no ctrl option. not even in the SIP keyboards. also flinx, i assume you are still using EnergyROM 3.0 as your sig says. do your SIP keyboards work properly? i can press all the buttons i want, but no text will show up. (with the exception of the .,; and such buttons).

know why this might be? (i know this is an experimental version so just asking)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] thatsme1010:
where can I find it?

Hi guys,

I was wondering where can I find the link on rapidshare that was posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445550&page=13 by Kevbodian.

I have that application on my htc touch pro, never had any problem, I only use it for reading only, now I have the htc touch pro 2.

When I clicked on the rapidshare link unfortunately has expired.

does anyone know how to download the same application?

Since I am not very good at this, to me the rapidshare link was a god sent.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
fatpandas, you can either use PQzII or use the "Keyboard" SIP to do the switch. Alternately, you can just use the registry key swap mentioned in the first post. Text will not show up using the Japanese SIPs until this is done.

Thatsme - just download it from the link in the first post in the thread.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fatpandas:
ahh ok, works now. oddly enough, it worked earlier while i was playing around without doing the ctrl,shift,shift,ctrl. not sure what was going on there.

one last question, does the hardware keyboard IME work like it does on the computer? i type and it'll display the letter with the dashed line under as it would on my computer but pressing space or enter does not bring up the japanese selection screen. nor does tapping on the text itself. how would i go about doing that?

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It should work like on your computer - space should switch over to a list of kanji. Try also using the arrow keys if space doesn't work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] wettrix:
I got a small update, It works with smaler bugs or so. I got text in skype and IE at least. After trying CE-star which worked nice, but the input was abit strange for me and I prefer the IME.

First of my problem got fixed by just adding another font piece.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
Segoe Condensed="\windows\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"

But the writing is still abit hard. Mainly since when I write in japanese I can erase if I make an error. I haft to switch to english mode to erase. And the english mode screws up my qwert so that A and well mostly all of the buttons at the top instantly goes to 1-9 etc.

Another part is, that everytime I reinstall I need to use ime6compat.cab and that removes the boldness and destroys my HTC Home.

Need some extra assistance here to get it working the last parts om my s740.

small update, wrote wrong in code :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 3to4:
Juste one question. I am using HTC Touch Diamond 2.

In the first post, to activate Japanese, I have to press ctrl, shift, shift, ctrl in this order in Qwerty keyboard. Well, I see the shift key, which is the key with an upward arrow, but I don't know which is the ctrl key.. Is the ctrl key the one with XT9/ABC writen on it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Obsidian72:
Unfortunately you can't change the IME with the "large" Diamond keyboard. You'll have to use the WM standard keyboard or you install VGA large keyboard whoch features an IME button and is skinnable, e.g. black (I attached the skin I made for it).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] pied2porc:
Hi,

I made the IME permanent following the regedit in the first post.

but since i'm using gesture10key as my main SIP, I still need to switch to japanese SIP to activate japanese input.

Is there a way to activate japanese input at startup?

thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 3to4:
Thanks for the skin. It looks nice.

How can I install it? Could you explain?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Obsidian72:
Follow the download link on the website or take the CAB I attached below. This will install a new SIP. You can change the skin in the properties of the input method.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] 3to4:
Obsidian72,

Thank you. I installed this keyboard in my Diamond 2 with your skin.

I think the function to turn ON/OFF IME is very useful.

By the way, I am using it with AdvancedIME for the moment, and this function to turn ON/OFF IME makes it almost usable. (Actually, I am trying to find the Japanese IME most suitable for me.)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
I found out what the problem was, laughably simple but I thought I'd report back that it wasn't the app, install or Opera build. I forgot that I had set Opera to "mobile view". Unticked it and now kanji and kana are showing perfectly (also seems to work in Opera 9.7 so far).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dkun:
Hello,

I have 2 questions.

1. Does this procedure also work on the HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium)?

2. Do I need a special rom to do that, or can I use the normal WM 6.1 rom, which comes with a German HTC Touch Pro 2 as well? I don't really want to flash my rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dudesweetness:
Anyone tried this on a universal?Just as noted, it has no CTRL key so I used to code in PQZII to assign CTRL+SHIFT to a single key (Win key). Tried using this to allow JP input, and got no change.

Also tried the software keyboard Ctrl+shift+shift+ctrl and also had the same problem?Nothing short of changing the registry keys works - which is a bit sad as the keyboard swap ability would be very useful.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tinz:
Does anyone have omnia II?

I really can't succeed to display and write Japanese language at all.

It seems that Omnia II combine the reginal language into their keyboard.

I'm from Thai so the Thai Font and keyboad is already into the Rom of Omnia II so when I install those cab it has trouble and can't boot the phone at all.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dudesweetness:
Just wondering is flinx1 is still around at all?He could best answer these questions I think.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tinz:
Opps. Sorry that this forum is designed to HTC only.

Noted and understood the condition. Tks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Yes, see the top post for the registry key or use the compatibility cab attached.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
1. Yes.

2. Any western language ROM that uses the latin alphabet is compatible. Cyrillic ones might also be, but there's possible font issues.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It can be a bit finicky - try swapping to a Japanese SIP. If you're using the 6.5 version, try the 6.1 instead and using the romaji keyboard.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
The NLS file included in the cab does NOT support Thai, which is why it breaks. I don't have a way of modifying a Thai NLS to add support for it - I'd need a complete winmo manufacturer development kit.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
I've been on a working vacation (to Japan in fact), so haven't been around to answer questions and work on the addon for a while. I am subscribed to the thread however so even if I don't answer at once, I'll eventually get around to it. Feel free to nag if I forget to answer something however.

Japanese IME for X1i?

Hi Flinx

Do you still have that JPIME411.zip lying around? It was originally at http://dbhqs.com/flinx1/JPIME411.zip but it's down now.

I'm trying to work out a problem on my Touch Pro, HT-01A.

I'm trying to get the Japanese keyboard to be fully functional on a WWE rom.

I've managed to get some success on a one of Asukal's IME installs (IME_31J_F.zip) by inputting the 00000411 key into the registry, and while the keyboard layout is correct, I lose functionality of some of the special function keys. Installing another IME around here also installs keytouch, and fixes up the missing keyboard binds, but I don't like keytouch so I'm looking for a rip of the latest IME to see if that works.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
Not that I get why you want the old one, but I've added it to rapidshare. I'd just use the 6.1 or 6.5 versions, since they're essentially the same, just slimmed down and optimized a bit.

http://rapidshare.com/files/280398404/JPIME411.zip.html
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] dudesweetness:
Thanks flinx1!

Couldnt get it to input anything when I swapped to JP SIPs so In the end i had no choice but to use that registry cab to change it to 411 permanently. .

Now all the SIPS work.Just no ability to swap between them...Great app nevertheless mate!Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] latraviata:
The Singapore version of Omnia II has Japanese language support, but not input, i.e. it will display Japanese email and web pages but you can't write Japanese unless you install Japanese SIP. So yeah, I guess it really depends on what type of Omnia II you have.

I'd actually be very interested to find out if the .cab will work on the UK version of Omnia II, which hasn't been released yet, as I'm planning to get this as my next phone. Based on the above I suppose it will, but you never know untill you try it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
As long as it uses winmo and the rom language uses latin characters, the addon should work.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] thedicemaster:
is it possible to get just the japanese character support without the japanese SIP's?

i have no need for writing in japanese, and i don't have much phone storage.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
If you just want display, get Asukal's Letsjapan6 (google it).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] thedicemaster:
thanks for the info.

though it did give me a problem, when using the HTC full qwerty SIP i can no longer switch from 123 to ABC mode(ABC to 123 still works)

EDIT: fixed

letsjapan's cab sets e0010411 to be preloaded, but for the HTC SIP to work properly it needs to be e0010409
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] fatpandas:
hey flinx, are you still working on this app?

and any clue why japanese input seems to spaz on and off? w/o turning the IME on, (the ctrl - shift - shift - ctrl) part, i can still sometimes put in characters. (usually works after a reset). but somewhere in between switching SIP's and programs, it stops working and every time i try to input japanese, it'll backspace instead.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tinz:
Yeah , I came across to know the Omina II can display Japanese Language without

install any Letsjapan. Then the next step I have to try is to install some cab file

the allow me to write in tegaki that is all I want.

I will try some how some day and let you guys know.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] flinx1:
It just uses the IME files from Microsoft, so if something breaks it most likely would be an issue on an official device as well. The only difference is that most devices aren't configured to switch languages. There may be a memory leak as a result when you switch back and forth, because they don't test that kind of configuration. Winmo itself is kind of leaky (think Windows 9x) which may contribute to it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] tinz:
I used to have such problem many time till I install the compatible file on the top post of this topic. After install , you must reset one time and it seems to set regional to Japan. So your today screen will be changed to Japanese but you will no longer face such problem.

For your more information , after I installed this compat file , the Tegaki with 3 block input is still have the problem but if you input with another Tegaki with 2 block input it will be o.k.
