Already tried, also followed the wiki.... Keyboard is OK. just the space key doesnt change to äöüéàè
You can try to duplicate the file sym.0409.txt in the windows folder and name this new file sym.0407.txt. It worked for me for the french keyboard (sym.040C.txt in french).
What Atmis said, I simply modified the sym.0409.txt file in /Windows so I easily could type Swedish characters such as å,ä & ö with a/o + space. You need to copy it over to your computer with active sync, edit the file then move it back.

Already tried to copy the origional sym.409.txt to sym.407.txt (german) but when i press the "blue" space nothing happens.
You need to replace the sym.0409.txt file if your OS is in English.

Actually i've 3 files (for testing) sym.0409.txt, sym.0407.txt, sym.txt and it does not work.
Having Hermes with QWERTZ keyboard (switzerland) and English WM6 (Vanilla)
That's interesting. I had the same issues when upgrading my device to AKU 3.3. After some changing forward backward between English and German Keyboard it suddenly worked.
I also upgraded a second device and I cannot get the space key working to change between the special letters.
I know it does not help but maybe it's an device bug. I will downgrade the device the other device when I can get it back again and see if it works with the original image.
It was working flawlessly for me, I just had to reboot the device after creating the new file.

... After HardReset, installing the "German Input Cab", modifiying sym.0409.txt and a reboot everything is working fine...
Probably some manipulation described in the wiki i made before installing the cab made the changes...
finally it works. thanks to all
Ehm. I am not trying to sound stupid or anything. but how do I find this"sym.409.txt"? I would like to change some of the keys into norwegian symbols like æ, ø and å.
I have just heard something about the root folder.
But in that case. where is it, I assume that I am just being blind or something but.
THanks for your help

Not blind, the file is hidden, at least on my system with Josh Manulla2D.
To see the file in Windows, using File Explorer, click on "Menu/Show All Files".
My problem is that I have made changes for my German keyboard on an English language install, but I cannot replace the file in \Windows. All I get is an Access Denied message.
Anybody know how I can get past this to replace the sym.409.txt file?
Task Manager is installed so surely it must be some service that needs killing to free up the file.

Peter
Not sure what's the issue.

Thanks a lot for this new rom release
Any Traditional Chinese Handwrite Input function?
Thanks
As Ricky said, i would also like to thank jasjamming first...
now..
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Ricky. Your solution is the only one that works stably for reading chinese... again, thank you very much!
Hi Ricky
I just installed the rom, and I notice that the font size is funny. The default size for the menu item does not change even if i change it in the screen adjustment screen (Settings-> system -> Screen). This does not happen with your old rom...
Thanks!

HKFreak:
Sorry that I did not include any of the handwriting software this time, I was trying to create a cab file for the Handwriting, however, everytime I installed the cab file I made the touchscreen would stop function (need to use hard reset to fix).
I'll find a solution later on... (oh well... maybe it's time to try 3rd party inputs )
Slider5354:
Hi, I realised this problem too, it is due to a reg key for chinese to enable "line break" (not sure if you have seen this problem on the previous version or not), if you use PIE to visit chinese/japanese websites, the text would not break into lines properly.
Once I added change the reg key the line break problem solved.
what you can do is change the reg key back to english one, use the RegEdit problem in System, find the key called "SystemLCID", change the value from 404 to 409 and do a soft reset, should fix your problem
X01HT Installed and Working Well!
Well done Ricky, awesome job. I found the Japanese input pretty painful, as it didn't have the correct romaji option, instead the layout for a true Japanese keyboard, which the X01HT doesn't have.
I used Asukal's one (tried to upload, but no go) and that is exactly as it should be. You might look at replacing your's with that one.
I will let you know how it goes as I run it through its paces, but its looking impressive so far.
Now where's the Black 3.5 version
Thanks, got it!!
Sorry, got it, thanks
thanks to you and the original rom chef jj. would like to know is 簡易 input method included?

Thanks Ricky.. I notice text break problem too, and this happens even with regular English rom + CE-Star.. so I guess we can only choose no line breaks, or weird font size... :-\
I've been runing the ROM ever since it went up and haven't had to do a reset yet, whereas with the straight Black 3.01 with the hacks to get it using Japanese, I found myself resetting 5 or more times a day.
Thanks for a great stable release!
Is this rom built up from black 3.0 insted of 3.01?????
I found the Black 3.0 bug still on this ROM....
1) today theme cannot be changed(only Top/Under Bar can be changed)
2) symbol pad cannot be loaded.
how to use korean
I want use korea.
how can i use korea language.
The Voice Command button also disabled. Any idea how to enable it?
And is it possible to set the default input from '拼' to English? (For both keyboard and soft keypad) Thanks!
Ricky, can you post the Japanese SIP cab file on its own?
I'm trying to muck around with Black 3.5. and the Asukal one I've been using up until now doesn't want to work properly.
flashed this no prob. used it to replace 3des + CE Star, which was a very unstable combination.
this is working great. fine job Ricky, and also to whoever did black. Nice ROM. I love my phone again.
anyone know where there is a manual on the input methods. they take some getting used to after CEStar, a manual would help.

Really , just can't enable kansaku & tegaki. On 3.5 & all the new released roms.
Yes. All versions > 2.5 seemed not support SIP switching.
I guess some REGISTRY changed.
I switched to LVSW two weeks ago.
It works great!

i would like to flash my german treo 750 with the official uk WM6 rom and i was wondering how that will effect the keymapping.
i will then have of course an english rom but still the german keyboard layout. in the wiki i found the reg-key for the keyboard layout for different qwertz/qwerty/azerty layouts, but this string does not exist on the treo.
someone else mentioned it might be detected automatically.
do i need to worry or just give it a go? i REALLY NEED the correct mapping with all according symbols cause i am using the keyboard all the time.
ok, i got it working. there is no reg hack needed, everything just works like it should.

Does any one know how to get japanese input and output on the ATT 8525 and ATT 8925 (8925 running WM6, 8525 will be running WM6)? I currently have a free program that does this on WM5 but it doesn't want to work on WM6 (See Link). When I install it on WM6 it makes the keyboard not work.

I tried this however it only has support for input, not output, which I need.
Any recommendations. Keep in mind I would like to stay on the free side of things. I'm cheep
For the Kaiser http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333507
For the Hermes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298919
It is possible and free. Read read read!
Edit: Just read your thread. Looks like you are having trouble because it is a Kaiser, right? Check that Kaiser thread. One reg edit is all you need. Also, don't install that Bagoj stuff. Stick to the original WM5 input. It is running smooth on my WM6 Hermes.
i have the hermes. Thanks ill take a look.
Wow, you've got a Hermes and it is still messing up the keyboard!? Well, when and if you have trouble, I will be watching this thread.
yea the hermes doesn't have WM6 on it yet cause ATT hasn't released it. I have it working on it now but my testing with the TYTN 2 tells me that im going to run into this problem when i upgrade the phone.

I build my own ROM with Japanese input/output using Pandora Kitchens with 3.62 ROM. I have made some packages for this with all files from Japanese WM5, not from any commercial third parties. If you are interested in it, I can send you a private message with the packages. Let me know.
thank you for the offer, however voiding the phones warranty of the phone is out of the question. The warranty is very important to the company that I work for.
If you can separate the Japanese input/output from the ROM that would be ok by me. One more thing the Japanese input/output needs to work on Windows Mobile 6, as i already have a program that dose this on WM5.
I have yet to try the previous suggestions. I will be trying these most likely tomorrow.

there are a few things you have to do to implement east asian language functions on windows mobile. actually, you can do this without rom cooking.
1) you need to replace wince.nls in windows folder because it is only for western languages. however, it is a rom system file, and simple copy&paste does not make it work.
2) download reloadnls.exe and put it in \Windows\Startup. This makes the new wince.nls work properly. you can download reloadnls.exe from this link:http://www.geocities.jp/hou_ming_2/reloadnls.zip
3) you also need a Japanese font. (for example, msgothic.ac3 from japanese wm6 or windows xp) You can retrieve a font and wince.nls from this zip. http://x01ht.ratn-leaf.com/files/customizer/packages/Japanize_Tiny.zip
4) You also have to change the registry for viewing Japanese texts.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls]
"LegacyLocaleMode"=dword:00000001
"DefaultLCID"=dword:00000411
"DefaultACP"=dword:000003a4
"DefaultOCP"=dword:000003a4
"SystemLCID"=dword:00000411
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]
"MS PGothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"MS Gothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"MS UI Gothic"="\\windows\\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma"
"Courier New"="\\windows\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
"Tahoma"="\\windows\\msgothic.ac3,MS UI Gothic"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SkipTable]
"Tahoma"="005c,00a5,007e,0391-03c9,2026,2116,221a,25a0-25ff"
"Courier New"="005c"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\International]
"ACP"=dword:000003a4
"LCID"=dword:00000411
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI]
"DisableFarEastWordBreak"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International]
"Default_CodePage"=dword:c6f4
5) After soft rest, you can view Japanese text now.
6) To use MS Japanese IME, you need to copy following files into \Windows. You can find them in Japanese WM5 or you can download from here. http://x01ht.ratn-leaf.com/files/customizer/packages/MSIME.zip
hwxjpn.dll
imjp31.dll
imjp31dx.exe
imjp31k.dll
imjp31s.dic
imjp31s.grm
mboxjpn.96.dll
mboxjpn.dll
msimj.96.dll
msimj.dll
mskana.96.dll
mskana.dll
(You don't need to copy any files in the zip other than files listed above.
7) In the zip above, there are two registry files, defaul.txt and user.txt. Just import them using your favorite registry editor.
8) Soft reset, and you now have a Japanese input function (MS IME) installed in your hermes. However, there is no way to call this function from your keyboard since it is not a japanese keylayout.
9) To call MS IME, you need to assign this function to a key by freeware called PQz. http://1942.rocketspace.net/PQzII/PQzII_20070725_HTC_Hermes.cab
English manual: http://www.nicque.com/PQz/DOC/index_e.htm
Hope you will figure out the way!
Your post is helpful however I am unable to read Japanese. (wish I could) The geocities site you referred me to appears to throw an error but, again, since I cant read Japanese I cant be sure.
I'll give this a shot though
While I am sure qtotter's method works fine, there are easier ways. I myself have a WM6 tytn and get Japanese output/input simply by installing the following two .cabs.
Fonts and wince
http://www.asukal.jp/WM5/LetsJapanNo5.zip
Install and soft reset.
Input, fully accessable from the keyboard
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/IME_31J_QVGA_F.zip
Install and soft reset.
You may run into troubles depending on which physical keyboard your tytn has, but these can be solved by a simple registry edit to the keyboard layout key.

i know about LetsJapanNo5.zip, but did not introduce it since i am not sure if usemynls.exe included in the cab is freeware.
as for the ime part, i suppose IME_31J_QVGA_F.zip does exactly what i explained above automatically, and i recommend this way.
as for the keyboard part, if your device has a keyboard with non-japanese layout, you cannot call ime as i explained above since there is no key assign for this function by default. you still need PQzII to map ime function to a key on your keyboard.

Heh, heh. I'm not real sure about that myself, but I don't think Asukal would pull anything funny. AFAIK, he is on the level.
What exactly does usemynls.exe do? Does it redirect use of the wince file in Windows to another one? Cause you can just use TotalCommander (or whatever file explorer) to copy over the one in Windows and then do away with usemynls, no?

You sure the tab key (or whatever is just left of the space bar) doesn't function this way if you let the ime cab do its work? What if you edit the registry thusly: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty] "Layout"= 30411 (Hexadecimal base)
Looking at the X01HT and the 8525, the hardware looks exactly the same to me - same number of keys with the same placement.
qtotter, I have a X01HT, so I'll believe you if you say its so, but it just seems weird to me that HTC would make different hardware which looks the same. If you've never tried it yourself, then perhaps pwnage can be our guinea pig.
BTW, which Hermes rendition are you using, pwnage?

I tried this and the input seems to be fine however the keyboard refuses to work. I did try a few reg settings in the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\keyboard layout\Preload\1]
Under the preload key I changed "(Default)" from e0010411 to e0010409 (the original reg value).
Under the preload\1 key I changed "(Default)" from ee0010411 to e0010409 (the original reg value).
Now when I switched the values from ee0010411 to e0010409 in both the Japanese input stopped working. When I changed them back they started working (no keyboard).
Am I inputing the wrong reg keys or what?

no, you are not doing anything wrong. LetsJapanNo5 forces keyboard layout change.
this is what i explained above. 10409 is for the english keyboard layout, and 10411 is for the japanese keyboard layout. since you are using an english keyboard, you need to keep the value 10409. however, it does not have a key assigned to ime call. you simply need to use PQzII to map this function to any key you want.

When you say the keyboard stopped working, do you mean that it just doesn't respond at all, no matter what buttons you press?
Is this on the Tytn or the TytnII?
If this is the TytnII, check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333507&page=2
That guy had problems with his keyboard AND buttons responding, but got everything working with the two .cab files I posted above with one regedit.

Yeah, but isn't that just paint? I don't want to sound pendantic, but if the hardware below the paint is the same, then I don't see what the problem would be.

You can't use the File Explorer built into WM to overwrite system files, so I use GSFinder. Others use Total Commander. These can copy, delete, whatever to system files.
Anyway, now thanks to your info about usemynsl.exe, I have another 350kb or so free as I was able to overwrite my wince file in Windows (which allows .NET programs to function! YEAH!) and delete the usemynsl and the redundant wince in my Temp folder.

i am not saying you cannot copy and paste different rom system files to your device. even if you copy and paste another wince.nls, the system does not refer to the new wince.nls.
this is the reason why people use usemynsl.exe to force the system to refer to another wince.nls in a different location or reloadnls.exe to force the system to refer to the overwrote wince.nls in /windows.
if you wanna save disk space, i recommend you build your own rom burned with east asian wince.nls like i do.

Uh oh. So what did I do to my tytn?
I copied over the original wince in Windows with the one from LetsJapan in Temp.
I deleted the wince in Temp and moved usemynls so that it wouldn't run on startup.
Everything seems to be running smoothly, and I have soft reset (for other reasons) a few times between now and then...
No problems so far (its been a couple of days), but can I expect them?
First of all, let me say that so far, there is no Portuguese-Brazilian version of Wm6.1 for the HTC S-621 and maybe this will never exist at all…
If you are new to ROM Upgrading, you MUST read this! - PDF file - 2,5 mb + - (pages 1 to 11 only - keyboard issues are treated here)
That said, let´s cover the main issues you may have (at least the ones I faced) when upgrading to 6.1 for brazilian people.
Before we get started, let me tell you that I´ve tried all 4 flavors of roms available (so far) in this forum (in chronological order, i guess):
1 - Kavana
2 - Kavana remade by Rickwatt
3 - NGR Rose Rom
4 - NGR Rose Rom remade by Ricky and Stylez
And the best one that fits in my S621 (when you talk about funcionality and the little amount of trouble) is the second one (Kavana remade by Rickywatt) in this thread:
CLICK HERE to get Kavana remade by Rickywatt
With all other ROM´s i had some irritating issues, like CAP key nonresponding, comm manager not opening when you click on it, dialing “0” (zero) and getting TAB instead, typing “£” sign instead of “ç” and so on….
The very first change you MUST do is changing emergency number (911 does not work in Brazil – 190 does). All other changes but this one can be postponed, once you are dealing with life!
In order to do that:
Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – MYTOOLS – REGISTRY EDITOR
Find these Regkeys:
HLM/Security/ECall
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and change the “911” number to “190” (wich is the emergency call here in Brazil) – Confirm Change.
Find
HLM/Security/EcallWithoutSIM
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and add “190” number. Press Done, Confirm change and repeat steps with:
HLM/Security/ECallWithSIM
Add “190” to it the same way.
DO NOT softreset the device yet (it´s necessary for changes to take effect)... there are other changes to do before softreset (Just to not waste time resetting it several times).
Needless to say that by doing this, you´re setting your phone to dial 190 (the emergency number here in Brazil – Remember, this guide is for brazilian people) even if keypad is locked.
______________________________________________________
Now let´s change some regional settings to best fit our needs here in Brazil.
Goto START – SETTINGS – CLOCK AND ALARM – DATE AND TIME.
Change TIME ZONE from London,Dublin (mine is at it – Who Knows why?) to GMT -3 Brasilia. At this point, you are able to change clock top to 24 hour format (I prefer) by changing values on CLOCK ON TOPBAR item (this step is optional)
Yet in settings, goto REGIONAL SETTINGS and change LOCALE to PORTUGUESE-BRAZIL. Press Done then OK.
Remember DO NOT soft reset yet.
Click done twice.
____________________________________________________
Let´s fix keyboard issues
Download Attached file to your PC to set up keyboard.
Is it done? Cool... now let´s do the trick: Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING YET! Press FN + SPACE Keys to bring the language menu. Navigate to LANGUAGE (3) Choose PORTUGUESE (8). At this point, try typing a single letter, like the “a” character. You´ll notice that the XT9 dictionary will suggest you to use “a à á â ã” (for those out of Brazil, we use this special symbols very often). This is the predictive text working as it should be in all other ROM´s, but unfortunately, things are not as it were supposed to be.
Let´s go on...
Try pressing FN key and type the “J” letter... You´ll get an £ (Libra) sign instead. Type FN key again and type the “K” letter…. You´ll get an $ (Dollar) sign. It´s wrong… at least in my keypad, if you press “J”, “K” or “L” with FN, you should get the “ç”, “º” and “ª” signs.
Nevermind… let´s fix this…
Done with your annoying “ HEY! this is not the key i wanted to show up” thing? Ok. Now you can discard the note (press MENU button and choose CANCEL).
Remember the “eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt” file attached here? Did you got it? Put it in your mobile´s Windows folder, replacing the existing one. Your keyboard is fixed now, but do not test it yet, because it needs a reboot to apply changes.
________________________________________________________
NOW is the time for the first soft reset. Press IE key (this will bring Celetask) goto MENU – UTILITIES – REBOOT – confirm and wait.
Get back to text notes (START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one), and try typing something, like “jo”. You´ll notice that the XT9 Dictionary is giving you some options, like “jô jogo José jogos jogadores jornal”. It means the dictionary is working properly, as it should be in all other roms, but unfortunately, it only works in Kavana´s remade by Rickwatt. God knows why!
Now, try to type any vowel (a e i o u). Let´s take “e” for example. The XT9 give you some options like: “e é ê”. You see? Again, it´s the predictive text working as it SHOULD be in ALL other ROM´S...
Let´s try one last word... type “versao". It Will give you the option to use “versao versão”. (Just for your knowledge us-citizens, versão means version).
Ok? Done? Are we even? Now, let´s make it more confortable to use...

Some will say: “Hey, there is a Free RAM utility already built into the ROM!” or “Hey, there is CELETASK that does this trick!”.
Ok... I agree... I totally agree and I surrender. Use it! You done? Now, go to main screen and try to go to Comm Manager... close it using celetask. Try to open it again…Could you? Me neither. It´s a very common and strange bug among alternative ROM´s.
Oxios memory does the trick without this issue!
Whenever you want to free up some RAM (and speeding up your smartphone as a consequence) use Oxios Memory (the icon is a skull with a black hat and a red stripe on top of the hat). It´s completely harmless and best of all – free and works!
That´s it… Rom developers, I hope you see this topic and try to help us here in Brazil by including at least the keyboard layout and the predictive text in your future rom´s.
I´m waiting for comments, thanks! I also hope to help other people in trouble, like I once was.
Sorry guys... i forgot to upload file...

Thank you very much!!
Very nice topic... it helps a lot.
I still have some troubles: how do you change the IE key to open internet explorer instead of celetask?
I'm using WM 6.1 by kavana but i don't think it was remade by anyone... i've downloaded you file but there is no portuguese option when i press fn + space. Do you have a any idea y?
And finally, have u downloaded any cab file to install the portuguese keyboard layout after installing your WM version?
Thanks in advance

I don´t know how to change IE key to open IE, maybe some registry tweak, try search this forum... IE sucks a lot and I don´t care at all. Even when I was running the original WM6.0 from Vivo, I never used that key, so I really don´t care at all.
In the beginning of this thread, you may have noticed that there is a link to "KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT" right on top of the post, so, it WAS remade by "anyone" (in this case, Rickywatt - Thanks, Rickywatt). Kavana was the first one, then came the others with improvements.
And as you may already know (because I assume you did read this thread entirely), this is the only ROM that I had no several issues with keyboard. All others were trouble and a pain in the * to fix keyboard. That´s why I gave up all others and stayed with Rickywatt.
If there is no portuguese option when you press fn + space, maybe it´s because it´s not Rickywatt´s ROM.
Please, download Rickywatt´s and try again the instructions I posted here. As I was making this guide, I was doing it in real time just to be sure it´s accurate. I did it three times in my device and three other times in different devices (I mean, the same HTC-S621 from different people). So, if you apply them step-by-step as I posted here, you´ll see things are gonna work properly.
And finally, I haven´t downloaded any CAB to make keyboard work properly. Almost everything was already built in Rickywatt´s ROM, I just made some adjustments in the TXT file posted here. As I said, install KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT and follow my instructions here and you´re good to go.
Thanks
Hi buddy,
first: thanks for the tutorial!
second: I have a S60 BT, but I couldn't installed any rom. Every time I get a "corrupted rom" message. Have you ever seem this? I've read something that my phone could be blocked and that would be the reason.
I've tried to used that unlock from Rick, but didn't work. Do you have any more tip?
Thanks a lot man!

Try Google... Take a look @ this or this.
It's a very common error and easily fixed just by getting attention when upgrading ROM. There are SEVERAL topics about it. Use the search tool.

Might be a good idea to read the Sticky "Noobs Guide To Flashing"
All files needed and info are there
I tried to change de et9 file in Windows directory but in this version i'm using (wm 6.5 build 21848 nrgz evolution mod) there is some type of protection that prevents me from deleting/editing the file.
I attempted to change de read-only atribute but it doesn't changes.
Any ideas?

First of all, copy the txt file anywhere on your device using your pc.
Now, in your device, use Resco Explorer to copy (and overwrite) this file in the Windows folder. Restart and you´re done.
Regards.
No one in Portugues Brasil yet?
Nenhuma versao 6.1 em portugues ainda?
We all brazilian guys here could ask these guys who do this modifieds roms how to translate or offer our help to translate something to our native language! If anyone here have contact with this guys and would like to help. I coud help!
Meu ingles nao é dos melhores mas dá pra ajudar!
