Hi there all, I have searched and read and then searched some more, even on other forums but (probably due to my technological stupidity) I have not found an answer... I need to use Chinese sometimes when emailing or smsing etc and I like to use the hard keyboard if its going to be a long one (amazing how quickly I got to like the qwerty keyboard)... now I have AEKmap so I can quickly change from the English one to a Chinese one (or so I thought) but I find that it does not have a Chinese keyboard listed in the options (just the default and a couple of Russian options). I have CEStar installed and also the d-ear Chinese sip as well as the 10 Key d-ear sip... but still cant find an option to enable the Chinese mapping for the hard keyboard. Am I missing something obvious (all to likely given my skill with tech stuff) or do I need to find a Chinese keyboard map? thanks for any help anyone can offer...
CE star is a solution but it s not free
and the logiciel bug my HTC wizard and Kaiser (hard reset)
Thanks but I already have CEStar but when I slide out the hard Kb it wont let me choose a Chinese layout and I can not type in pinyin... (wont let me choose a sip), would sip change help here?

install CESTAR or A4 pinyin input for Kaiser
then, open up your registry editor
go to HKLM->HARDWARE->DEVICEMAP->KEYBD
change curlang to 0x804
restart your kaiser
slide out your keyboard, the Sym/Tab button should allow u to switch to chinese input (if yours is a Eur/US device)
if yours is a Chinese APAC device, then you should see a chinese character at that button.
the button is on the left of the space bar
I have CEStar and it works perfectly for me. as long as you select the chinese mode, you will be able to eithe type in chinese with the keyboard (slide-out) or type with the stylus (regular)
Ruffruff... thanks for the advice, if I make this regedit will it be chinese layout all the time or can I select between default and Chinese in AEKmap?
Zcsx1985 yeah I sort of worked it out, I had to select the sip in portrait and then when I slid the keyboard out it worked fine...
Actually now that I have done that I can bring up the sip switch thing (little triangle next to the keyboard symbol on the screen) after sliding out the keyboard which I couldnt do before and now its all ok... well so far... cheers

Hi Shadow, how did you get the d-ear sips to work? Any special configurations necessary?
I have not managed to get them to work properly. when i type any messages, it appears right on my kaiser screen but when sent, my client will receive a whole page of question marks.
Did you overcome that issue?

I didnt do anything special, just install and then use... is your clients phone set up to receive Chinese characters cos thats the only reason for them not being able to receive them I can think of.. of course I am not too knowledgeable about such matters so it might be something else... if it is perhaps try uninstalling and then reinstalling... plus I am using a cooked ROM not stock...

I have an English ROM, how can I get Chinese MENU (switchable to English) and Chinese Pinyin input...? Thank in advance....
I'm using a WWE ROM and after I installed CE Star and the input method, it works great without any registry modifications
but one thing that bothers me is everytime I need to open the soft keyboard, press the "Chinese" symbol" once, then I can use the "input switch" button on the hardware keyboard to switch between typing English and Chinese ...
Tony as Kw31 says, CEStar is my main IME and it works fine, only conflicts with MS reader when its in Chinese mode (and also Pleco2 but thats another program)...

A new Input Method for Windows Mobile
A quick review
TouchPal is a brand new Input Method for Windows mobile which is pretty fast, accurate and convenient. But what’s best is that it is completely free for download until december 8!
In opposition to other solutions, TouchPal provides a “normal” QWERTY on-screen keyboard, with keys being easy to press with thumbs (animated gif here). In addition to that, the guys behind TouchPal have made switching from uppercase/lowercase really easy and fast: you just have to press and hold the selected letter and swipe up/down to change the case… and this is BRILLIANT!
The same technique is used to input punctuation… Making it (one of) the only input methods available where you don’t have to make a key combination or press twice to input what you are looking for.
Another deal-maker is the speed of this thing: even on an HTC Touch, I was able to get a really decent input speed (read: fast). Fire-up the video below and see by yourself!
However, you have to love the QWERTY keyboard because it’s the only one this solution provides (same goes with the predictive thing, it’s english only). I guess this will be supported somehow in the later releases.
Still, it’s the best input method I’ve used so far on Windows Mobile, and I’ll advise anyone to give it a try!

Free Download till Dec 08th
Download TouchPal here, and its documentation here.
Interesting idea, but doesnt work.
1. Installed the cab.
2. Soft reset.
3. Click the arrow, get the list of SIPS.
4. Click the TouchPal thingy.
5. Nothing happens (device seems to hang for a second or two).
This is WM6 with the Kaiser.

Did you soft-reset your device? And it is possible that TouchPal is incompatible with some other non-default soft keyboards. My friend got TouchPal work after uninstalling a Chinese keyboard and reinstall TouchPal->Soft-Reset. He decided not to go back to other keyboard, even decide to give up hardware keyboard.
yeap. step 2 there. and i dont have any sips.

do you have password setup for your device? if not, it is worthy of trying setup a password for your device. someone fixed this issue by this approach.
Can't wait
Excellent concept! Tried in on my VGA device. Got an error message saying "can't initiate dictionary" but it launched regardless. Great way to input different characters, especially between upper and lower case characters. I also like the keys to input web addresses!
Great job. Can't wait for a VGA version!

I guess you download wrong cab. "can't initiate dictionary" was a mistake and has been fixed. One of my friend encoutered this issue on several hours ago's build. He downloaded it again, seems that issue has been resolved!
So, you can try to download it again. Soft-reset your device and then install the new cab right after reboot.
BTW, VGA version is available
Great SIP! The only thing I am missing is the swedish characters åäö. I will still use it becouse it works so well.
Does anyone know if it is using the built in dictionary?
OMG i Think this will be my default SIP
On my touch it works fine. But this sip is quite haevy. Does anyone know how to create other dict for it.
i've installed on my touch and jasjar, both are working fine. of course i used the differet installer for qvga and vga.
i've uninstalled pcm keyboard for now.
Custom Words.
Simply edit the engdisct_usr.txt and add the words you want. It can be found under the \Prorgam files\TouchPal\.
In case you use non-english words, It's advisable to select " precise Input Mode" under options.

Oh, great info. I tried and found the dictionary was only loaded after WM reboot. So, adding your words, soft-reset device and then select TouchPal will make your customized words appear.
I can't get it to work. Everytime I select the keyboard under the Input Method in between the softkeys I just get the regular WM6 keyboard. I'm trying this on my Mogul. Any ideas?
SIP Change
Use this SIP Changer. I get the same issue with this SIP.

Yes. I have a password set up on my device.
Has anyone been able to make it work on a Kaiser?
I have it working on my Kaiser
I have no password set on the device
I also have it working on my Kaiser and Ameo. For Ameo I neede to install SdCert... to get it working

I installed it to my Kaiser, without issues. Just a detail, the SIP keeps in the screen even when the windows that instantiated it lost the focus. But is working fine.

After having installed the HTC cab for TomTom (just the app + one free city map) on my Orbit 2 I noticed that TomTom has hijacked the Windows button.
I've been through every option in the TomTom settings, but can't find a way to stop this.
Can anyone advise a simple way of making my windows button go back to its original purpose (brings up the start menu) - other than uninstalling TomTom (I can work that out for myself!)
Thanks,
Roy.
Try the Settings of WM6 !
Mine is german, so i can´t tell you exactly what to do.
I mean it has to be Menu-Setting-Keys
Key 1 is what is changed by TomTom.
Change this setting to whatever you like.

Yeah, in the English version its Start/Settings/Buttons, then change the one that says TomTom to <Start Menu>

Thank you to both of you.
Exactly what I needed.

Does that work with the Touch Cruise, too? I ask that, because the Touch Cruise has a GPS-Button instead of a Windows button.
PS: I don't own a Windows Mobile phone, but want to buy one in near future.
Yep, curiously the icons for the buttons are for mail and calendar, just like the first two buttons on most WM phones.

But I want one key to open the Windows Start Menu and one key as OK key. Can I assign them like that?
yes, you can assign any application and some functions without troubles.
i just wanna ask if its possible to reset text inputs without doing a hard reset?
im current using wm5, ive heard this is a feature for wm6 phones. any freewares for this?
thanks!
By "reset text inputs", do you mean SIP change?? (i.e. using Keyboard, Phone Pad, Transcriber etc...like in WM 6.X)
Here is the LINK , scroll to post 16 and download the cab...
Alternatively, Go to this LINK , scroll down till you get Set default SIP
Hope this helps...

Yeah wanna know this too. especially the QWERTY keyboard.
AND MORE IMPORTANT:
1. How does the drivers work on win. mob. 6 - 6.1?
2. Is there any way you can assign a new letter to a button (it could be nice to add æ ø and å (as i'm from denmark) to some buttons.

I realy don't now or you can assign other letters to the keyboard or even to any keyboard, I have here a Dell bluetooth keyboard (same as the Stoway) and can't find anything about aply any other letter to a button, what I can do is asign hotkeys but these are all programm or funcions, I dont now how you insert such a letter at this moment, if you have to lauch anything I would suppose there should be a way to do it through that aplication.
How do you insert such letters at this moment?

Hi, I just bought a Diamond in Japan (New carrier, E Mobile) picked it up for approx $150USD w/1 year contract.
Anyways the reason I bought it was to act as a mobile word processor. I have a great BT keyboard (Filco Majestouch) and I wanted to be able to use it anywhere to work on my thesis and a novel.
After struggling with getting it to accept input, I found a 3rd party shareware app (BlueInput from Teksoft) that lets me input text using my keyboard; the only problem is, there is lag/delay on how fast I can type.
Actually it's not just lag, that would be okay if it was just a delay on the text appearing, if I type to fast (usually around 80-100 wpm) the key presses just don't get picked up. I have to t-y-p-e v-e-r-y s-l-o-w to get it to work; quite annoying.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this to work better?
its probably your drivers slowing it down. check ur Bluetooth settings as well.
Here goes 6.5 for our e72!

Thanks for your work but can we have some information about the rom?
it is normal native 6.5 rom. Nothing special, just fast as hell
Excellent rom works very well, even text input works correctly. One small problem the MMS on mine doesnt seem to work correctly, cant get into settings and wont bring up screen to send. Thanks
Sorry I'm a noob. Eboot file does not exist in the download. Should I leave it blank while flashing?
You should uncheck Eboot.
Excellent ROM, please continued supporting this amazing phone.

Rebooted and now I don't have ANY text entry. No t9 and no multitap. ALL you can do is numbers.
Has anyone actually gotten T9 to work?

I have the same problem as e72_guy. Installed the t9 package from http://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads and could only enter numerals. Removing it from the E72 got me back to multi-tap but no t9.
There is a thread at http://e72.pl/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=258&rowstart=0 which mentions making alterations to the registry to get Polish t9 working but trying to make (what I thought to be) corresponding changes to my E72 registry didn't help. I will still left with just numeric input.
Go here http://mobilityclub.gr/media/p/873.aspx
pxico: thanks for the pointer but I get the same problem with that one as well. Have you got t9 to work and if so with which ROM?
