Setting default typing input to English instead of Chinese? - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

Hi guys, just wondering whether anyone here would have any idea of changing the default typing input from Chinese to English.
The options available in Settings are only "handwriting recognition", "keyboard" (but in Chinese by default; one must click on "English" on the on-screen keyboard to change language), and something else which don't help.
Basically, whenever I use the hardward keyboard, it starts typing in Chinese, even if I chose English last time. Would there be something in the registry that I can tweak?

I am also having the same problem, have been trying to find out how to set it too, but did not succed.

I just gave up in the end and went for the JasJar WWE ROM with Monster Chinese installed. I'll survive without the handwriting recognition for the moment.

It's perfect with the new ROM from Taiwan !
when you first start it up or after a soft-reset, simply go to notes/messages and then select the keyboard, then select ENGLISH input, then select handwriting recognition. That's it, everytime you open a program or messages etc. you can type on the keyboard just as you would with an English ROM
But remember after a soft-reset it will go back to default Chinese input, but I can live with that as I don't soft-reset often, and also it's only a 10 second procedure to set it back up again

But it doesn't have A2DP for Bluetooth, right?

Don't have a clue as I never need it anyway, I am finally happy with my EXEC now apart from the MMS problem, but I can live with that for the time being. The hand writing recognition system is wicked. I am going to try and re-flash the radio stack to 1.09 though as I found that better than the 1.11 in the Chinese ROM

Hi,
I have had a JamIn for the last year, and have just switched to a T-Mobile MDA (Its the TyTyn / JasJam) - but they dont put the Intellipad on it. I found your post, and thought all was going well (the pull out keyboard is fine for typing an email, but the intellipad was spot on for a quick text message). Unfortunately - I installed the fil eyou point to, and reboot device. It shows in the input options - but never actually appears. When its selected - it seems to show the onscreen keyboard, and not the intellipad. Any ideas? I thought I may be able to get the files off my JamIn - is there any mileage in that?
thanks doedoe..work perfectly on my X01HT

uninstall 3rd party phone dialer and using the default one.hopefully can make intellipad works fine with your phone
soft reset
i have this problem with most input apps i install.
some of them re-appear after a reset.
pls post if you find a solution.
anyway is there a diff between intellipad and phonepad?
my mda vario has a dutch phonepad. but the ones mentioned above are in english and way nicer.
i installed both and the both seem to work...
I have rebuilt my PDA countless times trying to get Phone Pad to work. No matter what order I reload my applications ultimately one of them breaks it and it stops working.
As reported when I select Phone Pad as in input method it just swaps back to keyboard. Very frustrating.
I do not believe I am running any third party dialers either so I have no idea what the cause is.
If anyone has found a workaround or solution I'd really appreciate it being posted.

[cab file] WM6 Simplified Chinese patch for Hermes

Original released at PDAFans (http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-333961-1-1.html) by 午木.
Keyboard layout is following Japanese model X01ht, so I guess for other models you will have to manually fix the registry. Not sure how to do that though.
Internet and MMS configuration for China Mobile are added, can be removed manually. In fact I had them removed as I am living overseas and only need my Hermes to display Chinese properly.
There is no Chinese input included in this software.
Been using it with both XDA Live and Black Edition, works fine for both.
Good jobs mates,
Do you have Big5 one?
Thanks,

Not at this moment, you may want to try some Taiwan PDA forums for that.
The majority at PDAFans are from the Mainland. Hence what ever you get there are most probably in Simplified Chinese.
Alternatively you can always use the latest WM5 firmware released in Taiwan which is in Traditional Chinese, it includes Taiwan style Chinese inputs as well, of which I don't really like.

I cooked myself a rom that has CE-Star (Big5 displaying, PinYin input, Hand Writing input and Cantonese Input)...works pretty well...except one little bug I still need to figure out was the hand writing input part..can't do full screen, but hand writing in a "box" type has no problems.
This is the registry key that needs to be changed for those with different keyboard layouts:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty
There is a key 'Layout' (in DWORD, hexadecimal) that needs to be changed to one of the following:
For default English layout: 20409 (132105 decimal),
Chinese layout: 20404 (132100 in decimal),
German layout: 20407 (132103 in decimal)
Thanks for an efficient way how to show Chinese characters
After I installed this font in softbank x01ht. the japanese input can not work. I thought there may be some problem with keyboard setting, I changed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty to 197649(japanese keyboard setting), however it does not work!
Chinese Display Problem
Hi Guys,
After i installed either the CE-Star or the Chinese Font Support Cab on WM6 English Ver, the Chinese character both looks very light and small (in contacts, words, dictionary software, etc). It really does not look good compare to my previous WM5 + CE-Star which is not installed by myself. It looked very clear, solid and smooth.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Just disable ClearType. may get better.
VOW, It really works!

I'm having an interesting problem. As soon as I install the cab that holds the actual Chinese character support (at least, I think that's what it holds) calles ChineseSG.cab I do indeed get chinese characters on my WM6 Artemis. However, this install completely disables my ability to read and write text, email and mms messages. When I try to read or write a message the screen just becomes white and un-editable. Anyone else got this problem and might be able to help me fix it?
-edit-
I tried the other package, the one that started this thread Chinese.Support.Song.cab and it gives me the some problems. In message overviews of for instance my inbox I can see the content of text messages, both Latin and Chinese characters, however as soon as I open a message to read it or write a new one the screen is just empty. I have the buttons at the bottom, but no text appears.

Yes you are right. After installed the Chinese.Support.Song.cab into WM6.1
The sms will not run or displayed properly. I do have the same problem. If you uninstall the Chinese.Support.Song.cab again. The problem still remained the same. Unless you do a hard reset. However, after the hard reset I installed CE- star have no conflict with WM6.1. The sms work perfectly and I can read chinese even in Window Media Player or Audio Manager.
Oh Ya. Try SMS Delivery FIX by Saman It's work after you activated the setting. All the message can be see.
Hi,
I installed your chinese font to my ipac 100. However my keyboard backspace and left right arrows don't work any more.
Also in Messaging can't see emails...
was wondering how I could restore these funcionts... I would really appreciate it.
I uninstall the cab file, but those functions are still messed up.
Thanks

Can someone help me out on installing just a Chinese font on my HTC At&t tilt? Lets pretend I am a complete idiot and know nothing. I just need to be able to see Chinese fonts when they come in on text messages so someone can translate them for me.

4.1 about how much time need? hehe
im using darkphonepad but with classic one its the same
Hi,
i found an workaround to set phonepad to default.
1. Install "Phone Pad - International.CAB"
2. Install SKTools (Demomode is ok)
3. Set in SKTool under "Input Methods" Phone Pad to default
4. After restart run SKTool again
5. Remove all Input Methods excepting Phone Pad (Remove Key)
6. Softreset
7. Install GermanInputWM6.cab
Phone Pad is now the default Input Method after this. And the normal German Keyboard is in Inputlist, too.
There is anymore a Problem. Other Input Methods can only set one time after Restart???!!!
This workaround will not run with "Touch Phone Pad - International.CAB"!!!!! If you do that with this version, your PDA will not start anymore after set it to the default "Input Methods"!!??
Not Forget to change the LanguageKey in the Registry to 0!
Anyone know with file must be change to get the skin of Touch Phone Pad?

i think the freware version doesent have that function right?
anyway i need the italian language and i never seen a cab with italian keyboard around...
i found another workaround...simply install tons of times and set language everytime before open phonepad....1 time on 10 it works heheeh
with ur workaround phonepad works at every reset? because lots of time for me when i press "phonepad" in the menu it switch on normal keyboard without displaing phonepad skin...and then i need to reinstall phonepad
I found a better way!
Use this Too => IMSelector (Default_IM_WM5.CAB)
I found it here: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?11,801
With this Tool "Touch Phone Pad - International.CAB" work as default IM now without delete the original IMs!
im flashing again...
but i think it wont change anything
can u attach that file? the link in that forum doesent work
Here the file...
real thanks
with the new flash i found a way to use my language...but still disappear phonepad sometimes...
simply the first time i install it before reset pda..i choose the language then soft reset...
before select phonepad go to options and choose again the language (should be on the last u choosed) then confirm 2 times and the T9 dictionary is the right one...
i hope that with ur workaround i can eliminate the problem with disappeared phonepad

Installing Japanese Input on Rhodium/Touch Pro2

This thread will hopefully become a communal Work In Progress. I received my TP2 yesterday and have gotten to work right away on installing Japanese IME on my phone. Anyone who can offer useful tips or any help at all, I greatly appreciate it.
12:11 PM 8/21/2009
So far my first attempts have not proved fruitful. As a first step, I installed Olinex's HSPL. After that, I began installing the cabs from Zgembo's Touch Pro/Diamond Thread. I first installed the Let's Japan WM6.1 R07. After a soft reset, it seemed to be installed ok. I could see a few Chinese characters in the predictive text box above the SIP keyboard (although, there were some boxes too). Second step, I attempted to install the Japanese Advanced IME from the same thread. I should note, it clearly states that it's designed for VGA devices, and TP2 is WVGA. I went ahead with the install anyway. And that's when the trouble began. After soft reset, the HTC splash screen comes up, but after that- black. Nothing. No amount of button pressing or anything short of a hard reset resolved it. And that's as as far as I've gotten.
I'm going to do some more reading and then try again. If anyone knows a better way to go, let me know. Hopefully with more input this can become useful to other people living in Japan that require Japanese capabilities on their Touch Pro 2.
*****UPDATE*****
first off, my apologies, i realize that my solution to the problem wasn't clearly stated in my other posts below.
to get Japanese input/output working on your Rhodium/Touch Pro 2, do the following:
install Asukal LetsJapan6 and restart
install Asukal's IME_31J_FULL, but do not restart
install Asukal's Enable_IME and restart
that simple. romaji, kana, kanji, kensaku, tegaki (the handwriting recognition inputs) will all work. XT9/Predictive will be broken. And you will need to switch between かな カナ or 英数 on the soft keyboard to get the hardware keyboard to type in the language you want.

have you tried that on your TP2? what results did you get?
for anyone else trying Zgembo's cabs from the Touch Pro/Diamond thread, can you let me know your results? After installing LetsJapan, for my SIP icon, I'm getting an A4. In the dropdown menu where you select which keyboard to use, it has A4 智能输入 (i can't read those characters at all). anyone know the deal with this A4 menu?
No problem running CE-Star on my TP2 and the interface is in English, but I don't use or need Japanese input so I cannot comment on that.
yeh, I need Japanese input. and the A4 Chinese pre-installed in my ROM seems to conflict with it somewhat.
almost there... i hope
Ok, so here's the situation so far. After nearly 10 resets, I seem to be *almost* there.
I installed in the following order:
1. LetsJapanWM61r07.cab, then reset
2. KeyTouchJapIMEr07.cab
3. Enable_IME_2.zip, then reset
4. Softbank MMS
So far, I am able to send and receive with no problem. however, I'm still not able to type using any katakana, hiragana, nor kanji. even when i use the kensaku, it will recognize the characters, but when i choose the character, nothing shows up. Japanese input seems to be completely broken.
Is anyone on here able to type in Japanese on their device? if so, what program are you using? the relevant programs I have installed are:
Zgembo JapaneseIME
Asukal Enable_IME
Zgembo Lets Japan WM6.1
Zgembo Lets Japan WM6.1 Mincho
Zgembo Softbank MMS
The soft input keyboards available to me are:
A4 智能输入
Block Recognizer
Kana*
Kensaku*
Keyboard
KeyTouch*
Letter Recognizer
Romaji*
Tegaki*
Touch Input
Transcriber
* for the Japanese characters that don't show up when I type
CE-Star has some Japanese support (I need it to show Japanese song names, but not all words are displayed correctly) and Romaji input but since I don't know any Japanese I can't test the accuracy of inputs for you, but their Romaji input appears to work.
@mesquire: yeah, CE Star doesn't work for me. i think i'll need a bit of a more 'homegrown' solution.
Getting Japanese Input running
well, i finally managed to enable Japanese input. previously, i had been attempting to install Zgembo's KeyTouchJapIMEr07.cab. VISUALLY all the keyboards were there, but only a limited few functioned. i did a lot of trial-and-error installations to figure out what effect each cab file had.
after installing the softbank connection I began installing the IME piece by piece. I should mention that the ZTA4 (Chinese) IME is preinstalled in this stock ROM. the keyboards included in this IME are Touch Input, A4 智能输入, Block Recognizer, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer, Transcriber. i'll paste some of my edited installation/setup notes below. if you don't want to wade through that muck, just skip down to the Highlights section below it:
17. Install Keytouch (Zgembo JapaneseIME; 17.5mb) -> DON'T RESTART
18. Install Enable_IME_HTC_HD
19. Check Input (5 new: Kana, Kensaku, KeyTouch, Romaji, Tegaki)
20. Restart
21. Check input, Regional Settings (still no Japan)
22. test input
QWERTY Touch keyboard is fine (XT9 doesn't work)
Keypad only types numbers
small keyboard is fine
romaji broken (no kana)
kana broken (blocks)
KeyTouch broken (blocks)
Tegaki is fine
kensaku is fine
A4 is fine
block recognizer is fine (but sucks)
Letter Recognizer is fine
Transcriber is fine​23. Install CEStar Japan (2mb); no change in SIP functionality; restart; no change in SIP functionality
24. Install Softbank MMS (5.2mb)
25. Install Asukal Lets Japan6 (4.25mb); restart; Regional Setting changed to Japan; Mapple functional; Kana is default keyboard; A4 智能输入 now reads A4 智能▯入; no change in SIP functionality
26. Install 2_IME_31J_FULL.cab (Ask IME 31J) (7.8mb); new input: Roma Ji, Kana, TagakiKensaku, restart, no change in SIP functionality
27. Install LetsJapan WM61r07 (Zgembo Lets Japan WM6.1; 4.25mb); restart
28. Install Enable_IME_HTC_HD again
29. Install 2_IME_31J_FULL.cab again; restart; No change
30. Install Enable IME2; restartl No change
31. Remove Asukal LetsJapan6
32. Remove Zgembo's LetsJapan6 (but didn't remove properly; still in Programs list); A4 is now A4▯▯▯▯; restart; problem occurred with cprog.exe
33. Install LetsJapan WM61r07 again (Zgembo Lets Japan WM6.1; 4.25mb); restart; problem occurred with cprog.exe; no regional setting change
34. Remove Asukal Enable IME; no change
HARD Reset
Highlights
if you have no desire to read through all that and decipher it, it basically says this:
ZTA4 natively allows you to view Japanese (Japanese characters are Chinese characters afterall, but it allows you to see Kanji and Kana)
ZTA4 does not allow you to write in Japanese nor display Japanese in software designed for Japanese OS.
LetsJapan6 (both Asukal's original and Zgembo's derivative) adds Japanese to the 'Regional Settings'. it also installs the font used for Japanese input/output. Of the two, only Asukal's LetsJapan allows software designed for Japanese OS to display Japanese properly (ie. Pocket Mapple). However, neither LetsJapan installs any keyboards (only fonts), so you still cannot write in Japanese yet.
LetsJapan6 (both Asukal's original and Zgembo's derivative) both appear to conflict with ZTA4. I don't know of any change in functionality, but A4 智能输入 in the list of keyboards will now read A4 智能▯入 (if anyone knows of a way for me to completely remove ZTA4, please share).
Zgembo's KeyTouch/JapaneseIME adds 5 new keyboards to your available inputs: Kana, Kensaku, KeyTouch, Romaji, Tegaki; of these 5 keyboards, only 2 work- Kensaku and Tegaki
Zgembo's KeyTouch/JapaneseIME doesn't allow Japanese input; it also breaks XT9 functionality in the English keyboards; Visually it's lovely and everything is there, but it does not function on this particular stock ROM. I should also warn: if you do install this IME, DO NOT RESTART immediately after installing. Immediately after installing, install one of Asukal's Enable_IME files (there's one from long ago and one he recently made for the Touch HD... although, i think they are exactly the same). If you do not install the Enable_IME before you restart your device, after your device boots up and the splash screen fades, you'll be stuck on a black screen, at which point, your only option is to Hard Reset.
Asukal's IME_31J_FULL is the alternative to Zgembo's KeyTouch/JapaneseIME. although Zgembo's is prettier, it unfortunately doesn't work on TP2 (if someone else has had a different experience, please share). Asukal's IME is rudimentary, no fancy stuff like a Japanese Touch Keypad or predictive text, but it allows you to write in Japanese.
Asukal's IME_31J_FULL adds 4 new keyboards: Roma Ji, Kana, Tegaki, and TagakiKensaku. All seem to function perfectly fine as touch keyboards. As touch keyboards though, they're not very finger friendly, so you'll be stuck using your stylus to tap. In hardware keyboard mode, at the moment there is no known Fn key combination that allows you to switch between English and Japanese. This must be chosen by first choosing either かな カナ or 英数 on the soft keyboard, then typing with the hardware keyboard. And again, if you do install this IME, DO NOT RESTART immediately after installing Same thing will happen as stated above. Immediately after installing, install one of Asukal's Enable_IME files. If you don't, you'll have lots of fun hard-resetting.
After setting up the IME, it should be relatively safe to install the Arcsoft Softbank program. I've been using that and have no problems sending or receiving SMS and MMS... although, I don't know how to use emoji since i think it was something that is inherent in the Japanese KeyTouch keyboard.
So that's my rundown. Hope it will be useful to others. What I want to do now is find a way to Isolate the Japanese KeyTouch keyboard, get rid of ZTA4, and get XT9 prediction working again on both English and Japanese keypad. I'd really love it if Asukal, Alcibiade, Zgembo, larsucks and the rest of the X01HT gang could get in on this and offer some suggestions. Anyone else who has discovered anything interesting, please don't hesitate to post!!

thanks, i'm familiar with ookii.org. good stuff. i've been using his pocket dictionary for a few years now. but with regards to his japanese input, i don't imagine there will be added functionality over Asukal's IME, but I do imagine there will probably be less. And still, it's old, so the letters will still be tiny, there will be no keypad, and there will be no predictive text.
Did you try BeeGee_Tokyo's CAB for Topaz?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4102158
I tried it on my Rhodium and it works quite well, though it seems to slow the system down. Only thing I found is that I can't use the physical keyboard to input Japanese.
Topaz and Rhodium are quite similar, definitely in terms of screen res and probably software I think.

thanks for the suggestion. i already got Japanese input working now, but i may try that one in a later configuration.
what i'd like to know now is if anyone else has been able to install HTC KeyTouch (the Japanese version from the X05HT) onto their Rhodium. That is the SIP keyboard I would really like to get functioning, as one-handed typing on the Rhodium would be lovely. Also, I think that the emoji are preset in that SIP, so presently, i can't get them working in my Softbank Mail program. anyone have any success with that?
btw e60202, if you follow the method i stated on the previous page, you can have Japanese input both software and hardware keyboard.
Cool...I'll give that a try and let you know if I have any trouble. Thanks.
@shunsai
I want to buy the HTC Touch Pro 2 here in Germany soon. But reading and writing Japanese is very important to me. So, I am glad that you found a solution for my problem.
But I still have some questions.
Could you tell me where I can download Asukal LetsJapan6, Asukal's IME_31J_FULL and Asukal's Enable_IME?
If it won't work the way I hope it will, how can I remove it from my device afterwards?

asukal keeps a blog where he also includes his files. this entry he wrote is about the Touch HD, but the files work for the Touch Pro 2 as well. the 1_Enable_IME_HTC_HD.cab included in the zip seems to be the exact same as Enable_IME_2.zip
LetsJapan6 is available here
most of his other files are available here.
if things don't work out, hard reset will become your friend, so make sure to backup all your files and settings before you install just in case.
Thank you very much for the info, Shunsai!
Have you already found a way to change the input method with the hardware keyboard?
Somewhere I read something about pressing the Crtl and Shift at the same time. Does that work on your device?
Having trouble with text
First of all. I want to thanks to you Shunsai and Asukal!
I'm having trouble to input Japanese with Touch pro 2.
Now everything work good except text message.
When I text with Japanese it shows "????????????????".
It shows fine with email and web browser.
Do you have same problem? Or it is just for me?

no prob. i'm here to help people in the same boat as me if i can, but really i haven't done anything. i'm just benefiting from the fruits of asukal's labor like you. can you tell me more about your device (which ROM/region)? what order did you install the cabs in? was it on fresh install?
i'm still tinkering around trying to get japanese and english input where i want them, but japanese IME seems to be very tempermental in general. so far, its really only worked for me consistently when i installed in the order in the OP.
Have you guys tried this Japanese display and input app?

No need for separate installs - all in one cab, works on many different devices, also with hardware keyboard. Much smoother than LetsJapan or CE-Star IMO.

typing Chinese in WWE Roms?

Hi all, I've been digging in xda-developers for some time for a software to input Chinese characters, let it be in SMS, or even composing emails in WWE rom.
So far I learned that Droid can only read but cannot write.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469199 this link here is either dead or no people know the answer.
I even tried the msjh.cab but I don't know how to input in sms.
So I brought this here, maybe anyone can show me something?
do you want to input Chinese by pinyin or strike? also, do you want to input simplified or complicated Chinese? I have a few software like A4, PlumSIP6_1008 for you which are for Chinese simplied.
finally there's reply
I need pinyin simplified input. But so far I haven't see anything that can input Chinese Characters in eg SMS.

is it? I tried HelloNasty's rom before. But XannyTech still the best (personal opinion). Anyway, is there any other ways?
Chinese Input
You should try - CE-Star Standard for WM5/WM6
http://www.mobem.com/products/Personal.php
Various versions available, which include Pinyin, Stroke, Handwriting recognition (which I bought, but don't use).
Has worked perfectly on WM6.1 and WM6.5 Xannytech ROM.
Switching between WM6.5 keyboard and the CE-Star keyboard is a little slow, but works well. Also toggle between CE-Star English mode and pinyin mode sometimes a little irritating. Suggest that once Pinyin Mode is working then switch to WM keyboard for English and not use CE-Star for English.
Chinese Input PS
PS When you install CE-Star it will change your language settings to Chinese, so things like GoogleMaps will start to display all menus in Chinese, Just set Language to English in Regional settings, and everything is back to normal.
