Thanks to the whole community!

nice rom.
but, no roms are allowed on our FTP. please remove it and upload to RS or vidmes.com, with tehPenguin's permission..

done... oops... i'm really sorry...

what happened? with the links?

uploading to rapidshare right now... I'll restore links asap...

Too bad, I cannot try this. My universal is having RAM problems(thats what the O2's engineer said )
So, selling it tommorow and buying prophet(since it is pretty cheap these days). Actually, I'm saving money for Fujitsu U1010. I'm in love with it With it, I'll be able to do .net programming on the go. *yay*

Screenshots
Here the screenshots (27)... Low quality for low size...

why not change RAM chips?
CHANGE: After surfing the web, I'm in love with Fujitsu U1010 too...!

Link ready... File available on RapidShare.

no "External GPS" menu?

I've hidden the External GPS applet because I let WM6 manage it automatically... Next release will show it in the connections tab with Wireless Modem and Internet Sharing apps too... do you think I should add GPS applet quickly in ROM?

Wout

Request update Tornado WM6 WWE (English+chinese language support)

andot,
first of all, you've done a great job on the updated WM6 ROMs. but as of now, those who use english interface and need to read and compose chinese occasionally have dilema on which ROM to choose. the only available one is WWE you released some time ago but it is quite outdated and buggy.
we are requesting for you to release an updated version on WWE where users can have the best of both worlds (English interface + chinese language support like those found in original dopod 577w) including bug fixes such as camera, GPRS issues, Wifi, comm manager, etc. i like the fact that much of the UI is untouched with no fancy clocks or bars in the old WWE build.
once again, THANK YOU very much for your hard work!

Nop, it is not the best of both world, it is the best for your world only. Most of us here do not require Chinese file, what we want is to make the ROM as CLEAN as possible, if you want chinese, you can always install the langpacks and fontpack, if you do some research, you can get it.
Or, safe the hassle, pay for CE-star

what can i say?different people have different needs. one man's meat is another man's poison. you cant expect everyone to think like you.
besides, andot's tornado WWE ROM has ~ 18MB ROM on fresh format, that's a lot of space increase compared to original WM5 ROM.
installing aditional language pack is a hassle and increased space usage a lot more than when embedded in ROM. i've tried PEE before, also has about 18MB ROM left. installed chinese language alone would take ~5MB, not to mention it doesn't work prefectly.
If andot decides to update the Tornado WWE WM6, there are people, especially asians will use it. other "so called senior member" who cant think in other people's shoes might not appreciate it, but i'll very much thank you for it.

Install Ce-star as I've said somewhere to some guy. It takes about 5MB space. I think you can install the trial version and use it without problem as they only charge you for the input not for the Chinese support. If you want Chinese input you can always install Plum SIP. It is totally free and much better than the Ce-star Chinese input.

Whether the langpack is embeded in the ROM or not does not make any difference, when cooking a ROM, the files are added, and registry are modified before flashing. If you install the langpack after flashing, you add the files, you modify the registry
And there is no need for your sarcastic comment.
FYI, I did PM melgurth a few times and discussed with him on how I can port the chinese T9 and language pack form Dopod AKU2 ROM.
If only I have the time, I will try to cook a ROM for chinese users, just that my exam is approaching and it is not wise to spend so much time for it now.
I think I offended you in my earlier post, my apology for that

please accept my apology too. but i must stand firm on my side that there are people who need both languages in one device, at least im one of them. im not trying to cause any trouble here.. just hoping andot will fulfill our needs if he has the time to spare.. or maybe you can do it, since (correct me if im wrong) you need it too..

Coolcode.cn has best WM6.0 English and Chinese version.
it is great!

I tried to import the T9 chinese files from AKU2 to my phone yesterday, so far I managed to get T9 pinyin, but it only shows boxes, I think I need to modify the font

Ok, I managed to port the T9 pinyin and T9 stroke file over to WM6, however I only can view them as blocks which mean I have some problem with the fonts, I duno why I just cant view Chinese character despite trying so many fonts.
Anyone have suggestion ?

try asking andot for help? i fully support your effort (or andot if he has time to build updated WWE with bug fix)!

u really missed something, u only have the input method doesnt means u can view chinese word, however it might fix with a font cab, u can download it over HERE . Please notice that after u install this cab your english characters will become so small, i know it can fix using registry threat but i dunno how to fix it, good luck!

Yea, I know, that is why I said I have problem installing the font. No matter what font I used, I still get blocks.
We can actually just add the font file but don't set it as system font, so the characters wont be small, im trying to do that, gonna hard reset first

Do U mean u need an English interface but still can read chinese? I hope i dint misunderstand...... what i did was, i install the chinese font cab 1st, after reboot will become chinese interface, then go to setting>regional settings> Set Locale to English(US) then reboot, will become english interface with chinese support, but font remain so small lol...hope it helps.

Can you post the cab file here? Cause I am pretty finished, except for installing the font, I tried to install the font by copy the neccesaries file and create new registry keys by referring to the regisry on AKU2 ROM
What I did was this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontPath]
"FontPath"="\windows\Fonts"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Courier New"="\windows\Fonts\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"Nina"="\windows\Fonts\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song"
I hope I can solve this problem if you can pass me the cab file
Yes, I need an English interface but can compose and read chinese SMS

I already post it on my #11 reply, it was http://rapidshare.com/files/53340896/Chinese-WM6_Sung.zip.html

I DID IT !!!, it worked !
But i'm going to say, this is the most ridiculous registry system ever, ill try to make a cab now including the font file
System font looks perfect !
Now there is only one minor bug (fixed)
I also realized a simple typo in the ROM, I fixed it, and now it unlocks the option to change between languages ( dont see any use of it )

Lol, congratulations man

ITS ALL FIXED, everything is fixed,
Now, T9 Pinyin = pinyin
T9 Stroke = stroke
Now, I just want to package it into cab file
Btw, do you guys think Sunglobe.ttf ( true type font ) or sunfon.ac3 ( compressed font format ) looks better? Difference is only few kb
Hmm, I actually spent 1 whole day to do this thing, and I screwed my OS in the process, thank god its perfected now

Alright, done, please try and give me your feedback
http://rapidshare.com/files/53386427/T9_Chinese_by_karhoe.cab
Remmember to reboot your phone
If this works well, I will cook it into Phil's BETA II together with Chinese localization files
Cab includes font file, sunglobe.tff, this one takes 3MB, the 2nd smallest size I had, the other one is sunfon.ac3 ( compressed font ), found in Dopod AKU2 ROM, but difference is only a few KBs

Good work there Karhoe! i don't have my phone with me now so i cant be sure if it works, but im pretty sure from the screenshots it does work.

WANTED!!!

I`m looking for someone who can` make me a custom ROM...or someone who want`s to make a ROM and needs some ideeas...

Lol, and why should someone accustom a ROM to your perference? If you want to pay them, then you can consider Nitro

Sorry, mate. My ROM cooking is for free. And I'm full of ideas!

it is not neccesary to accustom a ROM to my prefferences but i have some nice ideeas for anyone who wants to **** a new ROM...

@NiTro
Same thoughts.... (look at the time of our post )

@illi
Well, every member of this forum would have made this thought!!!

My ideea is to **** a ROM based on the vanilla version wich is a very good version with no unecessary stuff,but the version of the wm6 english 5.2.116.18120 STANDARD v3.2 has more options wich is a very good thing from my opininion a good ROM sould have as much options as possible,and to be more stabile than the rest and with more free memory…My ideeas aren`t very shiney but I hope you will like it.
From the way I thing a ROM sould have/be:
• Fully application unlocked
• With htc camera 4 wich is a very good version of camera with allot of option and a great quality or the latest version of cool camera wich is allso very good
• We should select from all the cocked ROM`s the Media Player who can support many format`s of music like .mp3,.mp4,.wmv,.aac,.wma,mpeg,mpeg 4,.3gp,.avi and many others..(with the wmp 11 interface)
• The File manager maybe somone can **** to extract the .zip,.rar archives and stuff like that
• Automatic date/time adjustment with the latest gsm update included
• The latest version of htc SIM manager,wm5 storage,low light
• English xT9 included
• In the SMS recived if someone can make to view the smiles (the most used onley)
• Office 2007 just like in the original one
• Iconor list view but put it somehow in the display option
• The latest version of SmartExplorer
• In the album viewer at Pictures &Videos if someone could make it just like in the wm3 from the Spv c500 to give super extra large zoom at the pictures & to preview more medias
• In the games if could be include the Celeris virtual pool 2007 and the solitaire without bubble breaker
• Voice command
• The latest ADP
• To run more faster reboot,on/off (startup)
• Latest AKU drivers
• Basehue Express
• Make more options but make it to be easey to use not like in the version wm6 english 5.2.116.18120 STANDARD v3.2 the options are good but some of them are very hard to use,the options are good and usefully but are very complex and not all of the wm6 ROM`s or smartphone user know how to use,what I mean is that the options are very hard to change make it more easely to use because some of the users are afraied to use them just because are very complex and none of them whant`s to turn his software upside down…
• Rezolv the connection problems from bluethoot work because in all of the ROM`s that I tried the BT doesn`t work properley/corect
• Make MMS and SMS work faster and good because allmost 50% from the ROM`s realesed have problems or works slow…
This are my ideeas…aren`t very shiney but hope to be usefully….

Most of the not-already-implemented ideas are not for a recooked WM6 version, but for a new WM7 version. Please submit those to Microsoft!
Please, dude, make some reasonable requests. We do not have the source code of WM6!!!!

i don`t know if it real is for a new wm7 but we can try to do something i can help ...we can make the best ROM i realy do not know how to make a ROM but it can`t be to hard to make this ROM possible ..
so if someone can do this i`d be gladley to help ...it is`n so hard to do let`s just think,we can change the WM6 English 5.2.116.18120 Standard v3.2 and just remove and add

no one intrested in improving this ROM?

Noone but you!!!

Come on Nitro.. You can let a guy dream, can't you?
What I'm really looking forward to is your new ROM.

I had found out
Guys i`d just search somethig to try to start my own ROM and i found that the sorce code can be found ,i just read this and realised that i allready have the sdk so if you would help me to make this ROM i can help with the information "The Windows Mobile Software Developer's Kit (SDK) ships with over a hundred code samples. These are working applications that can help you learn to develop software for the Windows Mobile platform.
The code samples are installed when you install the Windows Mobile 6 Professional SDK and the Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK . Each SDK ships with code samples that are common to both platforms, as well as samples that are specific to each platform" i don`t whant to upset you or something but i`d be gladlley if someone will offer

Japanese Input for HD2?

Is it any workable JP Input for HD2?
I've tried kind of method which work for diamond or even others WM6.5 machine.
like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482611&page=2
I can install the cab file sucessfully but cant type/tap any JP charaters with it.
Is it the problem of my HD2 come with the chinese support from HTC?
my ROM is 1.48.831.0 (71294) WWE

The one from the second link (Advanced IME) works on my HD2 (Rom 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE)
I installed LetsJapanWM61r07 and KeyTouchJapIMEr07.
Then, I installed Happy Taping Keyboard, which has an IME key to switch on/off the IME function. Then, I installed SIPChanger to make Happy Taping Keyboard as default. I also installed PQzII to see the status of IME (On/Off).
I put the regional setting to English (UK).
I have not tested the configuration for a longtime yet, but it seems to work with most applications.

Thx for yr kindly informations.
After few times of crash...hard-rest.....
Finally can tap Japanese after installed
LetsJapanWM61r07, KeyTouchJapIMEr07 and Happy Taping Keyboard,
But the others problems occur now,
I thinks its the problem in between mine HD2 is HongKong version,
HTC chinese support which have been installed by default.
without install any 3rd party software, we can read Japanese w/o any problem,
just lack of INPUT support.
Sure we have the chinese handwriting/taping support with it too..
After install the above tools,
i cant use the default ime to input chinese anymore....
>_<[email protected]#[email protected][email protected]%$#%!
what the ....
anyone have any solution?
PS,
in my point of view..
the fonts of HTC chinese support looks much clear, beatiful then others....

Sorry it doesn't work for you. As you say, there maybe some kind of software conflict....

Hello,
I hope you already found your solution by yourself, but I have also had similar problem on my HD2 with 1.48.707.2(71294)WWE ASIA ROM and found solution for mine.
I expect this information may help somebody else who wants to install Japanese IME into their HD2 (WWE ROM with HTC original Chinese support IME Touch Input 2.1).
First of all, I have already given up to configure this original ROM to make trilingual IME (EN,CN and JP) condition on my HD2.
This information will help ONLY for making bilingual IME (EN and JP) condition on your HD2.
I made it by flashing ROM (WWE EU/US 1.48.405.2) with Gold card method + "e-china for diamond" (with reloadnls.exe) produced by Asukal + "ATOK for windows mobile" + "ATOK update module" + "Fingerkeb2.1" + Japanese SKINS of Fingerkeb.
(FSKAREN also works instead of ATOK)
(installed .NET CF3.5 just in case)
I have attempted with same applications for original ROM but it had never properly worked at all ( I wasted more than 3days for configuring ).
If somebody wants to know whole story, I will explain it in other replay but the story is too long....
I DO NOT want anybody waste their time like me for this issue...
Thank you

well I'm trying to copy the JP IME from official WM6.5, which is how I made my WM6.0 WWE work with JP, not going well.
Where does one get ATOK for windows mobile from?

I was in the same situation more or less. Spent days after it and finally I got into something that allows me input but only in portrait mode since it looks like no wvga version is out yet.
My sequence (lol) brought me to have emoji too but still no true joy. The keyboard of FSKAREN in landscape is small and ugly, to say it all, so I was thinking about the "Fingerkeb2.1" + Japanese SKINS of Fingerkeb you mentioned.
I've seen the Finger Keyboard 2,1 thread but no trace of the Japanese skin so far.
Could you please link it here ?
Thanks in advance,
C.

I got it kinda working, but hiragana won't change to kanji
you must type, then select it and change...
I'll get another device to test soon.
another Q, what are
MsgStore.dll
helpstub.exe
imjp31u.dic
for?
When I made the Jp mod for WM6.0 I didn't need these files and it worked fine. But even then other cabs included them.

HD2 from HK, running WWE
It overrides wince.nls and thus it is impossible to install Japanese support on it.
I have programs that install Japanese support on WWE WM6.5 and inputs fine no the emulator but on HD2 it just crashes, or after install you still cannot select region settings as Japanese

Does it help?

Hi, I think that the problem is same as mine.
As you know that the wince.nls is always recovered by original ROM when each time of restarting your device. The reloadnls.exe is the program that overwriting nls file after recovered it by original ROM automatically. So you should have this (reloadnls.exe) shortcut file in you Start menu folder to prevent this kind of problem.
If there is no "Japanese" in list of region setting, means your modified wince.nls is not working correctly.
IME (Input Method Editor) crashes:
I am not really sure about the reason for this problem, but it seems be a conflict between Chinese IME and Japanese IME. It occurs on WWE ASIA ROM. If your device has the Chinese input support originally on soft keyboard, it must be a WWE ASIA ROM (I am quite sure that HK version is WWE ASIA ROM).
Can you check your "ROM version" from Start > Setting > About phone > Software information?
This is why I flash ROM with (WWE EU/US 1.48.405.2) on my HD2.
I installed ATOK and FingerKeyb 2.1 with WWE EU/US ROM, I don't have any problem about IME until today.
(You have to change registry - HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\Setting - chenge EnableHtcRichEdit 1 to 0 for solving ATOK conversion problem).
I hope this info helps you.
Regards,

I got Japanese support set now.
Installed IME, but it can't load. So lacking writing, but I got gesture10 that does the kana bit OK...

FOUND !!! working Traditional Chinese Input Method Editor

After much scouring the forums here & everywhere and trawling the web, today I finally found a working app that allows for Traditional Chinese pinyin input.
The app is "QQ pinyin input (mobile edition)" - literal translation - and you can get it from this website url, http://mobile.qq.com/py/ . The download is a cab file. There is an Android version if you are an Android phone owner. Also a version for Symbian phone users.
This app is currently in beta 1 and is FREE. Usually I would give beta app a miss but decided to give it a go after stumbling on it.
The actual download page is http://mobile.qq.com/py/download.jsp . I am using the 1180Kb "enhanced" version although HD/HD2 is not listed in the device supported. The difference between the standard and professional edition - I called it "enhanced", is in the number of words/phrases in the dictionaries. The professional edition has a larger set.
And it did not disappoint me ! It is a breeze to use.
I sent off a CHT sms to a Samsung UltraTouch S8300 (SEA) phone which was later forwarded back to me. The message was not altered in anyway. I saw for myself the message on the Samsung UltraTouch. It turned out beautiful.
Another CHT sms was sent to my bro-in-law in Taiwan who has a phone that displays squares if the message is in Simplified Chines (CHS). I will report back later on this when I get confirmation on receipt of my CHT sms.
I have not discover any adverse effect other than uninstalling the app which I did for testing. There was a bit of a lag during uninstall. Also, after rebooting from the uninstall, the backlight options for "On battery power" and "On external power" were both adjusted to 100% ! Not sure whether was it because prior to the uninstall, I did a couple of screen capture via pocket XNView which I had to forcibly terminate as there was no option to exit pocket XNView. Anyhow, I don't plan to uninstall it till the final version is released unless it really messes up.
FYI, neither did I install any other font nor is my HD2 on any cooked ROM.
Thanks for reading.

Advice : Go for v1.4 from SoGou if you are not too keen on beta apps. I'm sticking with QQ Pinyin input. I like their interface.

Came across 2 much earlier threads - mine was quite similar to one of them - that mentioned QQ mobile input. I am acknowledging and crediting their discoveries here.

Can you either repost the links or up load the ime file (I assume it does simplified too?)... the interface looks nice, I use sogou at the moment and sometimes touchpal... but this one looks nice...

Done. Just needed to prefix the links with "http://". Was and still a newbie, had no power then to post clickable link but just got my status revised after posting the 10th post.
I am on WWE rom and the default is Simplified Chinese. In the menu settings of QQ mobile input, there is an option to enable/disable CHS/CHT the input mode. See the 2nd from last screen capture, capture007.jpg.
Which TouchPal version are you using ? The interface is really nice and looks easy to use as well. It was my first choice but had hesitated and decided not to install it as they were user complaints in TouchPal forum and CooTek admittted that Traditional Chinese input is problematic in TouchPal v4 if one is running WinMo 6.5.
That led me to a 3 month 'worldwide' search for a switchable Simplified/Traditional Chinese pinyin input, fumbled on the below

that upset me a little, later found the CHS/CHT IME, tested it and decided to join the forum, create a new post and share.
