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?

How to use ABC input after install this?a,b mode is very hard and slow to type!To type one character,you must type 2 times!

for type english, just hold * button awhile then select "english",
for abc mode, i think full keyboard is faster
the im PlumSIP5 for htc s710 i had already upload to my server
the download link can be found at this post

I can't install your China-hyms and plim.Always report unsuccessful.
I must dowload plimSIP5 Vox.cab in another topic.It can type chinese but just have xt9 En or a,b.In a,b mod,if i want type "k" i must type "5",after that,a suqare pop up wit: 1 for j,2 for k,3 for 7 for J....It so hard to type!

I don't know whether this can be used on HD ... but I installed it.
Saw nothing.
Guess this may not be used for HD .... only for HD2.

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????

This one's gonna suck.. You can't. You will have to flash back your stock rom, because that containts the appropriate keyboard layout in /system/usr/.
Unless you are S-OFF and have my cwm port installed, in that case please try
update.zip

hi mikevhl, i see a german kl in your package,
will this give me back qwertz layout?
i got that device with already wrong software, so i'm on my was searching qwertz for chacha..

I have no idea, I don't own the phone. If it doesn't work, try renaming
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/
chacha-keypad-ger.kcm.bin -> chacha-keypad.kcm.bin
Code:
/system/usr/keychars/
chacha-keypad-ger.kl -> chacha-keypad.kl
now signed the update.zip, forgot to do that before
update.zip

That doesn't work for me, Z and Y are still switched.
And the button next to enter, (normaly "?" and with fn ":") doens't work at all.
How can i correct and reactivate them?
Edit:
I flashed back to stock ROM, but Z and Y are still switched, but all keys work again. the special-chars are still on the wrong place, and the umlauts(ä, ö, ü) are nowhere.
Does anyone have an idea, how i can get the standard-qwertz-layout back?

I have the same problem.

Need American HTC Status QWERTY layout, please
Hi! I have HTC Status (U.S. version) with stock ROM, with S-OFF and root. I have a similar problem with the keyboard after I rooted the phone (using instructions on this forum).
I have the following issues:
* alt+Y used to show @, now shows euro
* alt+P used to show ~, now shows @
* alt+. used to insert ".com", now goes to camera app
* alt+N used to show :, now shows "
* alt+B used to show ", now shows '
* alt+V used to show ', now shows lb symbol
Other similar discrepancies...
I think I have the UK English keyboard layout now, which is still QWERTY but the alt+ functions are off. I need QWERTY with American English keyboard layout that comes stock with HTC Status in the U.S. I have searched the forums but the only link I found to an English layout did not work (I copied the chacha-keypad.kl and chacha-keypad.kcm.bin provided in the post I found to /system/usr/keylayout and /system/usr/keychars, respectively, but I still have the UK English layout).
Can someone please provide the keypad and key layout files for me to change it back to American English keyboard? And also the file(s) needed to change the alt+. command back to ".com" instead of going to the camera app?
Thanks so much!

[Q] Greek keyboard

I have unlocked my chacha via HTCdev, rooted it and then flashed CM 7.2.0 from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291232
Then, i installed the greek keyboard (el keyboard) that i found in the above link. However, i cannot write in greek using the physical keyboard. If i try to switch between languages as i did with original rom (fn+space bar) it returns either www. or .com (depending on whether i use it at the begining or later). Can someone help me find a way to write in greek? Thanks a lot in advance
