Hello loonychewy,

I have taken a look at your default.xml and found that there's NO such a line as

<item type="boolean" name="Chinese">yes</item>.

So it still showed up for picking on Input Language with only the content inside the <function name="IME_sip_set"> tag?

I'm trying out Stock+Sense Hybrid V5 and there's no option for Chinese Input. Although the IME_sip_set has already been presented in the file with all the right options shown, including Handwriting, these options are still missing from the menu.

Is default.xml the only file governing the (input) language selection? Do you have any idea?

Handwriting just ROCKS for folks using Chinese :) and I really long for it.
[Wildfire General] loonychewy:
Hi TheEKey,

Kindly note that the missing line should be <item type="boolean" name="Handwriting">yes</item> instead of name="Chinese". :)

Honestly, I don't know much about how it all actually works. :p But from reading the various forums, it seems more complex than just this default.xml. My best guess is that the tag <item name="total_list"> only specifies the expected valid tags to follow, and only the presence of the following <item type="boolean" name="Handwriting/ZuhYin/CangJie/..."> tags determines whether the input option is available to the user. So for my case, adding the tag for <item name="Handwriting"> makes handwriting input available (and I know that my copy of HTC_IME.apk in the rom supports handwriting). And I guess the yes/no values specifies whether the input option is enabled by default or not.

I will download Stock+Sense Hybrid V5 to have a look, and see if I can get some clues for you.
[Wildfire General] loonychewy:
I downloaded and had a look at the Stock+Sense Hybrid V5 rom (didn't try flashing it to my phone though). The xml files are all identical to WildPuzzle's. The only thing is that HTC_IME.apk isn't included by default in the rom. You could try to get it from WildPuzzle to install (even though HewGBalls already tried it unsuccessfully http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11195690&postcount=198). If you want to try, you can add the HTC_IME.apk into the rom first before reflashing the whole rom into your phone. I had to do that before I could see the handwriting option.

(HTC_IME.apk is located in /system/app of the rom)
[Wildfire General] TheEKey:
Thanks, loony. I think it's quite complicated indeed (especially without some official documentation).

You may have seen this but well, here it goes.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893353

So Handwriting is a HTC thingy? Hybrid V5 is on gingerkeyboard. Don't know if this fact wipes out the possibilty of using Handwriting after all.....

Let me start with adding Handwriting tag line in the xml first :)
[Wildfire General] loonychewy:
Yeah, I've read that post before. Its complicated isn't it?

I won't say handwriting is exactly a HTC thingy. Chinese handwriting is obviously only useful for the east asian markets, so device manufacturers will release their handset there with their implementation of it. Conversely, they won't include it in devices for the other markets. I have found some HTC_IME.apk shared in various forums that does not include ch handwriting mode (I decompiled them), which probably means it doesn't originate from an east asian rom. Same thing for gingerbread keyboard I suppose. Finally, the reason why some wildfire roms here have ch handwriting is because they are based on an east asian version of the stock rom, which has handwriting in its keyboard (HTC_IME.apk).

Hope you'll be successful in enabling it :)
[Wildfire General] TheEKey:
:) I decompiled the HTC_IME from wildpuzzle rom and found that the "手寫" handwriting option was not present in the XML files of this package. It's enabled but not shown under menu tags. I guess what you say is true that it's meant to be kept hidden to those markets which don't need it :)

I guess I will try to pull HTC_IME from HK or CN versions of official ROM and see if I get any luck on this.

Thanks for your hints~!
[Wildfire General] loonychewy:
I always thought ch handwriting works in wildpuzzle? If not, you can try the ime from sunaabh, because that is working on my phone :)
[Wildfire General] TheEKey:
It's funny that I switched from Sunaabh to StockSense Hybrid. I was lured by the fact that it's very clean and fast.

I got 3.xx from linpack using this ROM and that's why I would like to make this work :)

Anyhow, I may need to consult with danne_jo, the WildPuzzle creator.

I actually got some light on it. After I decompiled the HTC_IME and found that the handwriting is hidden for most of the languages setting except zh_ch and cn_ch. The odd thing me facing right now is that right now in the international input menu, i only have english to choose......

I guess this is international english and those 4 less wanted chinese input are available though toggling the "en" button on the keyboard.

I, secondly, guess is that if I can get international languages to show either zh_ch or cn_ch, then this will be fixed....
[Wildfire General] MasterDL:
My way around was installed an alternative launcher on wildpuzzle, sense restricts the phones customization option. Then strip out all the HTC files suggested in hybrid Rom thread and patch anything you need and indeed the system is more efficient reaching 3mflops not a problem and best of all keeps Chinese handwriting (新年快樂) intact. Ginger keyboard is installed in wildpuzzle 0.8 too if you like it.

It would great to see a widespread solution to implement easily into other roms as well when the source is found. There is a recompiled China ruu Rom in the Rom list if it helps.
[Wildfire General] loonychewy:
I'm able to get all the different international keyboard options regardless which locale language I'm using. Quite possibly the other xml files in /system/customize/CID are responsible for restricting the input options based on current system locale, since in sunaabh, there's only default.xml, and in hybrid/wildpuzzle, there're quite a few more. The xml files in /system/customize and /system/customize/MNS may play a part too, if you compare these roms. You can try to delete these extra xml files (+possible wipe cache/data maybe <-- do backup before that, I got a boot loop and had to reflash).

This post (if you haven't already read it) doesn't really help much, but might add a bit more hints to how it works http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10216720&postcount=30

@MasterDL, so you do have handwriting when you're using another launcher, but not sense?

Yeah, I would like to try out all the various roms to compare too. If I could get pass the look of despair my wife gives me when I told her I'm flashing a rom. :p She just don't get it! :confused:
[Wildfire General] MasterDL:
Well... I originally flashed wildpuzzle v0.8 it was the only Rom that had the handwriting but I find that sense was too limited so I installed adw and then stripped out the unnecessary HTC apk like the weather, sense home and providers so no more back ground htc activity apart from necessary ones like the touch input and mail dependant files. This kept the touch IME intact. But it would better if ginger keyboard international unlocked as well.

Also it somehow doesn't show the wildpuzzle label anymore in the software info just 2.2.1.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] dzemoo:
At start, sorry for my awfull English, but I just want to help:) and I never seen people from Bosnia (europe) to write something usefull on this forum except our neighbourhood Serbs :)....

starting at 10.00 AM I'm never before write any word on this forum, but I used frequently and I just want to help other people about solving this famous problem.

I have niki "htc touch dual" for 5 days, and I see that is very strange behaviour of my touch screen, I try to align screen and get over and over same window :)

After 12 hours of trying, surfing internet, seeing all kind of problems about this, I found some other codes of touch calibration, and with "CeRegEdit" put some...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]

"CalibrationData"="1903,1948 3181,636 3187,3240 607,3242 592,648"

but it's not worked for my phone,

so, keep trying more option, than I see, MSP_RemoteAlignment program, also good for skiping but, now I have unusefull touch :(

then I found welcom.not (to put on root of sd card, just making txt file blank and save as WELCOM.NOT for skiping align screen, but its same option as skip in MSP_remote Aligment program...

then, reinstalling all of yours roms here in last 356 days that you posted :), no result, except that 6.1 all systems, not working skip in software, or cannot change registry value, but 6.5.x working..

and finnaly, now is 10.01.PM, I found solve of problem..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\TOUCH]

minimum tap time I put on 50, and it works!!!!!! accidently?!

every next time to align screen is work!!!

no welcome, I'm tired, good night :)

I see people using different kernels with different roms. Why so many kernels and whats their use?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shagav:
Kernels basically run the back end of your phone. A lot of people make different/ update the kernels because they find a different way to improve battery life and make the phone run smoother and faster. Also, SBC kernels implement trickle charging which makes it so your phone is at or near a 100% when you take it off the charger

This is my theory... maybe this will scare and annoy people enough that they will actually think twice and possibly search before posting in the wrong section. They should be scared to come in here and start a thread about a non-development topic.

Jumping down someones throat because you believe they posted in the wrong section is absurd. If it is a moderator doing it then fine, that is their job. If its one person that suggest posting the question elsewhere, ok.

Well, look at it this way. We've got a signal, namely people who are developing their content for everybody else to consume. And then we have noise, which is any kind of side conversation that has nothing to do with the forum topic. What we want is to keep the signal to the maximum, and the noise to a minimum.

Imagine like being in a classroom, and you're trying to hear the lecture, while somebody is tapping their pencil over and over. It's not loud enough that the professor (in this case, a moderator) will get its immediate attention to tell that person to stop it. But it's bothering you and everybody sitting around you. So what do you do? Even though you are not in charge of the classroom, you'd still tell him to stop.

That's what is basically happening here.

As for a response to the OP, think of a kernel like being the brain of your computer. It literally controls every little thing that it does. If you've heard of Linux before, the kernel IS Linux (most people don't realize that Linux is in fact just the kernel.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bostonsbrash2:
I will try my hardest to post in the appropriate section. I never thought this thread would reach 30 post. Kinda funny seeing how irritated people get over the small, simple things in life. As if their brain and the forums are connected and if any little glitch happens, its like someone pissed in their cheerios (Naaa, more like Captain Crunchberries)

As for the person who said my kernel has a blueberry filling... it actually does. I cracked my phone in half like you suggested and then put that delicious blueberry filling on some toast. I then smeared in on.... ahh nevermind, if she didnt mention it to you, I wont.

Aside from the BS, I want to thank those who actually gave me the answer I was looking for. Thank you.
