I have used Monster Chinese (Version 5 for WM5) for my Wizard (8125, G3) since I purchased teh device a little more than a year ago and have had much problem. The only difficulty I got was the Monster SIP keyboard won't pop up so sometimes it required a soft reset. Now I loaded several different WM6 ROMs I found here but always have problem - the system is slowing down, sometimes it get frozen/won't weakup...
I am not sure if this problem is caused by Monster Chinese. However since a lot of people here reported very stable/smooth experience with the same ROMs on the same type of devices, I can only question the apps I added by myself if I get the problem other peole won't. I wonder if there is anyone who is also using this Chinese software on a WM6 mochine (especially Wizard), and if yes can you kindly share some of your experience about it?
I know someone talked about CE-Star but for some reason I felt Monster Chinese is a better choice. Now I might reconsider it if CE-Star creates less trouble.
I've been always using one of the WWE kitchens here, replace with chinese wince.nls, add chinese fonts, add necessary registry modifications. And I'll get a stable WM6 ROM with English interface, but fully supports chinese.

Sounds very promissing. Could you provide some details about how you can do this - necessary files, hacks...
Btw, is there any Chinese input method included?
XDA WM6 with Monster CHinese and SIP
I tried using CE-Star Suite 2.8 Version R2a freezes all the time, and cannot connect to msn messenger live.
Monster Chinese and it's SIP works better, less freezes and msn can connect but still freezes with wm6, but I found XDA WM6 version best for Monster Chinese ....less freeze and the SIP keyboard popups faster and doesn't feezes as much, also I overclock too. But XDA WM6 does make a different when installing Monster Chinese.
This is the only way I got chinese working well, but it does affect the OS sometimes. Oh also install monster chinese as your last program is best cause I notice sometimes it conflicts with other programs, but if you install it last it runs better.

Thanks for sharing your experience. So it is confirmed that Monster Chinese will affect WM6 performance. Good to know you feel XDA WM6 performs better. I installed this one but moved to NBD7.3 for HTC Touch Today plugin. I probably will move back when a new XDA version is released.
I hope Maction can release a upgrade for WM6 soon (but I doubt). I like the hand-writing input for both simplified and traditional Chinese it has.
One thing I also want to try once I got some free time - I want to configure the WM6 to support Chinese as lilila posted and install Monster SIP only for Chinese input. Hope this is avoid the conflict Monster Chinese creates. This will be valid if the problem is from Monster Chinese but not Monster SIP.
Oh also install monster chinese as your last program is best cause I notice sometimes it conflicts with other programs, but if you install it last it runs better.

My feeling is the keyboard has more chance to popup if you install the Monster SIP the first. This is the major problem I have had since I moved to WM5. We may need more testing on this. But I will try to load it the last and see if there is any difference.

Oh hey I install it that way too, first I install the IME keyboards first then Monster Chinese, then Monster SIP...works best this way when I install in these steps.

That sounds pretty good, you should install the IME keyboard and MonserSIP.....and it would be perfect.

Would you mind to share where to get IME keyboard for PPC? Do you mean it will just like the one we have with desktop Windows? Thanks.
I am able to get the Block-mode Handwriting function in Chinese WM5 work in WM6 WWE and also Chinese interface without having to cook a ROM. The process is not as easy as installing a cab, but I can share it here if you want.

download Windows Mobile 6 Professional Images (CHT) or Windows Mobile 6 Professional Images (CHS).
Install the Emulators, and extract the wince.nls(CHT or CHS version) files from the windows directory. Also extract the mingliu.ac3 font file for CHT and the mingliu.ac3 for CHS.
Export the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
registries form the emulator for CHS and CHT.
Then in the kitchen, \SYS\WinCENLS_WWE directory, replace with the wince.nls you want: for CHT, copy mingliu.ac3 to the SYS\OS\ directory, for CHS, mingliu.ac3.
You can also prepare two OEM packages called nls and FonLink: the registry hacks for CHT and CHS that exported from the emulators. Or you can just import the registry after flashing the rom.
As for input methods, there are quite a few of them, either as OEM packages or in CAB formats.
Solution found.

Thanks for your advice. Taking the Independence Day break, I flashed my phone with NBD7.4 and tried several methods to enable Chinese support on an English ROM. Sorry I didn't follow your instruction since I don't know how to cook ROM and it seems not easy for me to learn . Luckily I found a simple way -
With NBD7.4 flashed into the phone, I simply installed a unicode font pack I found from the Internet, which includes multilingal characters, and restart (soft reset) the Wizard. The Chinese characters will be displaced nicely on screen. No need to reload wince.nls and/or change any registry key.
Later I installed Maction SIP (v5) with several input methods. Everything works fine so far.
This is a big issue to me since it resolved WM6 powered Wizard hangs up from time to time when Monster Chinese is installed. The only negative thing I can see is the font pack takes quite big space so if you need to load a lot of stuff in main memory, you may want to plan ahead.
DFUHMD.cab
Can you supply the link or file for DFUHMD.cab, How is your experience with is it more stable then Monster Chinese on wm6.
Lilila,
Would you be kind enough to share those files and registry changes with us so that we don't have to go thru all that trouble?
Thank you so much!

progress?
i'm really interested in this topic, i'm currently trying to get TomTom 6's chinese hardwriting/transcriber input to work, the pingying/zhuying work fine.
the handwriting/transcriber don't, though it seems to work fine with a chinese rom, so i'm trying to figure out where the problem is. i've tried installing monster chinese and CE-Star. both cause my system to hang...ALOT. so i was hoping this would work.
i'm just curious if anyone knows of the root of the problem, and if any progress have been made
i'm currently trying to make heads and tails of this
thanks

The link for the files:
http://rapidshare.com/files/45830591/CHtCHs.zip.html
I have built cabs for my packs, look at my signature.
The Chinese support pack includes all input method equipped with Traditional Chinese version of WM (Chajei, Phonetic, Writing Pad and Full Screen Writing. Chajei and Phonetic can use hardware keyboard).
The MUI pack localizes most parts of WM6, with shortcut names.
However before use, remember to backup your data, then apply the 2 security cabs, or you will get big trouble (Due to the fact that system DLLs are required to be signed, and it is not possible/feasible to get all DLLs signed with a valid certificate)
hey stark, i tried downloading the disablesecurity.cab from your website, the link doesn't work, says file isn't on server
is anyone else having that problem?
thanksss
Sorry, there is a mistake in the filename (CAB vs cab)
It is fixed now.
Remember to backup your Wizard before installing!
Hi!
Nobody knows how to get keyboard shortcuts working on WM6?
On WM5 it works ok, after i install sym-patch software. tryed to use same software on WM6 Roms, but not working.
Tested many different roms.
If somebody can help me and others
Thanks wery much!
Hi,
First I installed SkandinaviskTastatur5 and then I changed the registry like this:
1. HKCU >> ControlPanel >> Keybd
create string named Locale and put 4-digit code of your keyboard (my german wizard with WM6.0 WWE ROM uses 0407)
2. HKCU >> keyboard layout >> Preload >> 1 >> Default
change value of last 4 digits to your code (in my case, I changed e0010409 to e0010407)
3. HKCU >> keyboard layout >> Preload >> Default
change value of last 4 digits to your code (in my case, I changed e0010409 to e0010407)
4. exit registry editor and continue to operate your device for few minutes. After that, softreset. Caution: sometimes your wizard "forgets" to write modifications to your registry, so repeat this procedure 'till it works.
I wanted swedish keyboard so I change to 1414 for Norwegian because the Swedish code didn't work.
I now have a swedish keabord layout and it works with my Qtek 9100 keyboard too. Worked with all the WM6 roms I have tried.
Good Luck !
Thanks, ill give it a try
What do you think is the best or ok WM6 ROM? i have tryed maybe 10 different ROMs, and still looking
Qtek 9100 is too slow for WM6 and i need to use Over clocking.
Ill let you know if this works for me!
Thanks!
So, I'm curious. Did it work out ?
I really liked XDA Mobile 6 release 3 but it made my qtek a bit slow and I didn't want to use over clocking because it's a workpda
I then tried some other roms but now I'm back with the original rom for my qtek. Haven't found one that I really like yet.
But I love the HTC home plugin so I have that installed now with my WM5 and it works great
Still looking too I guess...
Hi!
jep, it allmoust worked. had to use norwagian keyboard code. no swedish or finnish worked.
I have xda mobile 6 version and it works like a charn
no trying to find keyboard change to universal qtek 9000.
haven't found it yet!
do you have an idea where to look? tried everything allmoust.
thanks for this
Hi all, i am totally noob on ROMs cooking, ia want a custom ROM for my Kaiser, i read Alex Wiki and download Cooking kit, i got some questions...
My goals are:
Strip down some thing that dont need, like error reporting, customer feedbak, connection setup, introduction, ZIP, SQL...
Integrate/Add someone like a good % battery meter (can anyone suggest a good one?), "kim possible" video pager sound (Windows Live Messenger messages), Tilt to TYTN II Keyboard Fix, HTC Enlarge Start Menu, WMP Skin HTC AP Touch, psshutdown, Net CF 3.5, Schap's CommManager - 12 buttons with 3G band switch button, WinRAR ppc, Manilla 2D with some tweaks or custom options, etc.... also update some things like HTC X-Button and Internet Explorer!
Just the OS, NO SPL, NO RADIO, CUSTOM SPLASH...
i am afraid of Language issue, i want this in Spanish with the most of components in Spanish...
I can Cook this in Spanish with Alex Kitchen for Kaiser + OEM Packages or i need some other things like a WM 6.1 Spanish base or ROM or something like that?, i tried with the file "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_SPA_3.29.412.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe" i extract the EXE with Winrar and the Start "KAISERKITCHEN.CMD", put RUU_signed.nbh on base ROM and extract it with the kaiser kitchen tool but nothing about remove packages or change settings appear when i load the folder...
Any help is welcome, Regards!!!!
You have to manual remove the folder which contains OEM packages that you dont need.
I am not sure about spanish, but i do remember seeing something like that in hermes forum. Use the search link in my sign to drill deeper. Good luck cooking.
Hi there..
I know I can install a single language with a t9 cab file. But what I need is installing many languages in a single go. They are used on the Imate SPL.
I have quite a few Imate SPL phones to sell and installing single languages takes a lot of my time, so a single big file would save me trouble. I could install all languages seperately with Active Sync, but then I need something that can adjust the registry so that they are all available from the t9 menu, now only the last one installed shows.
I use all the languages from this page, from Czech to Turkish (no Chinese)
http://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads
Only for Portuguese I use another one, because the one from the page doesn't work. I use this one:
http://rapidshare.com/files/71913751/t9_Eng-Portug.rar
Of course I don't want to be a free rider, so the first to make me a fully working multi language .cab file or a proper registry edit thingy gets $100!
Maybe it already exists, well that is also worth it to me, let me know please.

i dont think this is a problem
or you may chang your ROM,this is a better way
add input changer in your settings, cpl.xml control it
Find what`s difference in the cab:
