Tried to install files in keyboard.zip. Install was successfull but still can not see any russian keyboard. Do I need a soft reset, do I need to change regional settings to Russian or change registry or what?

Chinese input hack

I got this from some chinese forum, i forgot which 1 cuz i dl it in school, so no history.
As you all know chinese input is currently not avalabile on the vanila rom, some chinese dude figured it out.Works on all roms
anyway here are the steps
Download the needed files http://w14.easy-share.com/4297691.html
Read everything carefully before proceeding with the 1st step.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any data loss or bricking(nearly impossible to happen), "First uppercase","Numbers","All Uppercase" ect typing style will be lost,only the "All lowercase" will be left.
Note : I did it with a card reader and a microSD card, I have no idea what would happen if you install in the phone.
Step 1: Install PlumSIP5 SP10 V5.0.1.CAB in your phone. Don't touch anything after that.(Install it in your card).
Step 2: Using activsync Rename PlumSIP5.dll that is in your phone(/storage) to another name like "PlumSIP5old.dll"
Step 3:Copy the PlumSIP5.dll that is in plum_dump into /storage to replace the one u just renamed.
Please do not try to type anything or it will freeze.
Step 4:Reboot your phone(switching it off and on)
Step 5:Copy everything that is in plum_dump to /Storage Card/ProgramFiles/PlumSIP5(you may use a card reader)
Step 6:Modfiy the settings to your liking(in Start) I recomend u to use the vista skin.
How to use it:
Switch between chinese and english or numbers using the */T9 key on the keypad or the space(you need to press Fn 1st) on the keyboard.

it seems like the Input method in ASUS phones. i've tryed that one .but it can not exist with other IM.
what about yours? can i change IM if i installed your version?

I will work on typing textbox, including IM and text message.

i've tryed your one,but all the same... i want to use German input method and chinese IM at the same time, it so hard to achieve.!

dear, feel honor that you like the way inputting PLUMSIP.
--it's me found this way to use plumsip in my S710 bought from HK
(in China, only those HTC S710 branded with DOPOD C730 can come with PLUMSIP)
attached is well finished file -- in .CAB format and then you need install it without any complex procedures.
BTW: I'm not the developer of PLUMSIP.
it belongs to a company from China.
enjoy！

here it is

have a problem installing this in my WM6 standard. i can't activate the IME when in messaging box, any idea? I press capital-function key, I can see the IME change (there's an indicator in Treo), but very quickly it disappear and change to alphabet mode.
any idea?

Guess this may not be used for HD .... only for HD2.

How to enable WM6 support chinese display?

I don't like to install Cestar, so is there anyother way?

There is no default Chinese support in WM6 ROM built here. CE-Star is good choice to add Chinese support to WM6. Working good with SimOne and WM6 Brushed. Not working with S.V.I. and WizFlo. Hope this help.

ce star freeze my ppc

Why don't you try this http://www.studiokuma.com/wm/?section=support

Thank you, agan, but I use simplified chinese most of the time, I don't really use traditional chinese, so anyone know about the simplified chinese?

I don't think its problem of CE-Star. If you are using a custom built ROM, the problem might be the ROM. The SimOne & M2D Brushed are working fine with CE-Star.

If you install CESTAR, it will cost u 10M more, that's why I don't like installing it. Still looking for the other ways.

First,install a software called "FotgottenNationsNo5",about 2.32MB;
Then reastart,and select "Start Menu--Setting--System--Regional Settings" as "Chinese(People's Republic of China)";
Now,U can install the Chinese font as U like,From"3.39MB to 14.6MB",I prefer to install the one which is 3.39MB called"Chinese_WM5.cab"

So can the chinese fold name and file name display correctly?

I found the easiest way, downloaded one file call Ricky MSYH 6M ChineseSupport v1.1
but if u can read chinese, go to Ricky's website, u will have more choice for u. Try MSYH first, I installed the SIMSUN one, that didn't work.

I have the same problem as you. This is what I figure it out after trying several things.
You need to install a chinese font (*.ttf), so your device can read Chinese characters. This can be sunglobe, yahei or any other you can find here. If you just copy to your "windows" directory in the device and do a soft reset you will be able to read most of the files in Chinese. If you need suppport in all programs, you may need a real tweak also. This means changing some of the reg (HKLM with regedit or similar). Also there are some cab files that do it for you (install the font and do the register changes).
If you also want to write in chinese, you have to install a chinese input program this will allow you to write te character or use pinyin (like A4, PlumSIP or other).
At the end this is what CE Star and other programs do, install fonts and the input program, but also install many other thing you may not need.
Maybe you can look here:

Have you tried this ROM that includes Chinese support?

You may install "O2 Chinese Plus Fixed" into your device.Then your ppc can display simplified Chinese. It takes about 3M space.

i will try your method when i reach home, every time i install the chinese display software on my wm6.1 (atom exec),will make all the hard buttom lost their function!

why don't you try O2 Chinese Plus Fixed for your WM system

Adding language in HTC keyboard?

Hello to everyone.
Please forgive me if you think that I'm not posting in the correct forum, but I think that posting in the general Sapphire forum would be more irrelevant.
I'm using Cyanogen's 4.0.4 ROM and I'm totally satisfied with it. I think he (with the help of many others) has done a great job, keep up the good work guys!
My only problem (and believe me it's a big problem for me) is that the HTC keyboard supports only the english language. I have tried many ROMs and some of them had other language support, but unfortunatelly I had others problems and had to drop them. So here I am with Cyanogen's ROM which I would be totally satisfied with, if I could use the HTC keyboard with my native language (Greek for my case).
I have tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling HTC_IME.apk, HTC_IME.odex and libt9.so from JACxHERO's ROM that works with my language, with no success at all.
I assume that a lot of people like the HTC keyboard like me and would like to use it with their native language. So, if there is a solution and anyone knows it, I would really appreciate it to know.
Thank you in advance and again, keep up the good work!!!

I'm interested on the same issue. That's the only reason I keep using Hero ROMs.

I'm interested to...
Is there a way to add spanish language and T9 languages to the magics??? Like spanish for example?

This is the exact same reason why I'm still looking for an OS for my G2. Tons of kudos to whoever can tell us some about this.

+1 for me.

instead of installing other languages i wanna remove the damned chinese language in my htc magic..please help!!

you can try the following
I'm no expert guys but here is the command that activates Russian language in HTC.ime. It worked fine for me and English stays as a second language for the keyboard.
cd to the Tools folder within SDK and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell "echo ru > /data/property/persist.sys.language"
[code]
Then reboot the device.
Obviously you need to replace "ru" in above code by your respective language short name. Like "gr" would stand for Greek language I would imagine.

rubbish: thanks for your suggestion... but it doesn't work for me as far as HTC Keyboard (HTC_IME.apk) is concerned. I have French Canadian set on my device (i.e. fr set in persist.sys.language and CA set in persist.sys.country) and still, only English appears in the HTC Keyboard configuration panel.
I took a look at this page on the Android localisation topic, but find nothing really helpful to solve the problem with HTC Keyboard: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/web/localizing-android-apps-draft?version=10
As far as I know, HTC_IME.apk was intended to be used on Hero only, not on Magic. Having used Hero ROM for a couple of weeks' I can confirm that you can select any available languages for use with the HTC keyboard. So is there anything else missing (apart from libt9.so) from the Hero system stack in order to have the complete languages list on Magic?

edit
.........

so no news =( ???

All right, let's try the following method although it's going to be trial and error, you'll see why. It will only work for HTC-based firmware I think (Hero ROMs should be OK). I'm on the different firmware at the moment (SPFrance) and it worked fine adding Russian as 2nd language to the HTC keyboard. The method described in my previous post was really for the system locale (although it was adding 2nd keyboard input as well just fine).
You'll need to pull a system file called "com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml" from the device. To do that enter the following command from within tools folder of your SDK folder:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is one command, just copy and paste it. You should get the above mentioned file copied to your Tools folder. Then you need to edit it with Notepad. Now comes trial and error method. To add Russian you need to do the following:
Change: <string name="keyboard_language">0</string>
for: <string name="keyboard_language">6</string>
So it's a simple change of 1 figure (0 -> 6). The thing is I don't know (and couldn't find info) what figures are relevant for other languages. But there's no risk in trying, you can always push the original .xml file back to device. Try from 1 to 9 (missing 6 obviously unless you want Russian) and see how it turns out.
To push file back to device:
[code]
adb push com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is again a single command. Reboot the device afterwards.
Good luck!

For spanish i could recommend an application called Better Keyboard, it is available though the market... it comes with english and spanish support... also has a language pack with some languages i don't remember ...

Great great tip Rubbish!!! I tried number 5 and I guessed portuguese right on first try! I was looking for this for months and couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks again! You didn't save my life but will save me a lot of time typing

@rubbish You made my day!

Does this method works on Cyanogen's? Can anyone confirm it? I'm on a Hero ROM.

Yes, you should get it. I got Russian predictive and there's no reason for Spanish to work differently.
To all. If you succeeded with above method please post what number worked for your language. For now we know that 6 adds Russian and 5 - Portuguese.

To get English environment with (in my case) Czech prediction keyboard on 32A with CyanogenMod 4.0.4, I just set the phone locale to Czech (important step, doesn't work without it) using standard phone locale settings - which switches both the environment and predictive language to Czech (note that the keyboard preferences still only show English as the only visible language choice, but it's not actually selected - the list just doesn't show the other choices) then I change the /data/property/persist.sys.country file to contain CZ (that should really be capitalized) and reboot phone. Works like charm (tested on multiple wipes). You can of course do the exact opposite, too - have the keyboard language set to English and UI language to your preffered language.
Basically - the persist.sys.country file controls your regional locale (including keyboard prediction) - in uppercase characters - and the persist.sys.language file contains your UI messages locale - in lowercase characters.

Tryied it out with no succes... Everytime I change the number I got english again =(...
My phone is 100% english xD...
There should be another way to put it in spanish I think right????

[Q][A700][ROM] iconiaN 2.6 Dutch version of Gapps?

Hello, does anyone know what Gapps to install on iconiaN 2.6 to get any other language then the default supported languages on this rom? The rom is great but I really would like to have Dutch language support for speech and autocorrect.

Hm. Doesn't iconiaN support the Dutch language?
Concerning the Gapps (Google apps), you might want to try this app. It will "notify" all the apps to show in your native language. All of the Google apps support every language there is.

Nope, it only seems to support GB, US, DE, ES & FR I tried the DE and the US but i cannot select dutch language.

Well that sucks. Am working on a (multi)language pack right now.

Done.
Edit : This won't work. I still didn't test it so you're free to try, but I can't seem to open the apks.. Am going to work on a solution some time.
Download the RAR file at:
http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/49759785/file.html
Please run _runme.bat with Administrator rights (just to make sure).
There's an option to make a backup (which is done automatically with option 1) and another option to restore everything.
I have not properly tested this, but it should work.
Watch whichever number you're inputting. It'll instantly do whatever number you typed.
There's a slight change your tablet will crash after replacing the framework. It's no biggie. Rebooting should fix that. Then manually choose option 7.
PM me for any bugs and please report status
