How to switch to Chinese handwriting on official Froyo ROM - Desire General

Hi,
I upgraded to the official Froyo ROM. I see the options for the Chinese handwriting, but I can't find a way to switch to the Chinese handwriting mode.
Please help.

1. Ensure you are using HTC's stock keyboard, then only:
Press Menu, select settings > scroll down > select Language & keyboard > select Touch Input > select International keyboard > scroll all the way down > select 2nd last chinese word.
You're done!
You can configure simple chinese or traditional chinese in the Chinese Text Input option

If think he is talking about actually drawing the characters.

Hi,
The problem is that I can see that there are many different Chinese input options but the handwriting option is actually missing! Is this a know bug? Any workaround?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Any update on this? Really quite odd that the options are there yet one cannot select the handwriting keyboard.

It seems hand-writing only works in Contacts..

I have been looking for the Chinese handwriting option all over too.
In the Settings / Language & keyboard / Touch Input / Chinese Text input, there is a Handwriting options section.
Lets say I go back out and write a SMS, there is no way to select handwriting mode. I have already enabled all the Chinese input methods. However none of them gives access to handwriting.
Am I missing something? Or is the handwriting feature missing from this build?

Here what i have done to make touch input working:
Setting / Language & keyboard / Touch Input / International Keyboard / Tick English and PinYin and HandWriting (tick all the options except this one: stroke input)
and then make sure you have no other input method installed, at least if you have others installed, you can touch the input area on the screen until a window shows up that tells you to choose one of them

I got Chinese handwriting keyboard option now. It works exactly like the HTC Desire HD now. Chinese character recognition is extremely good. It is now available in MCCM's HD v2.0 Desire HD build. It got released when I wrote my previous message.
It can be found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856312
The build has some nice new features. It has a few minor issues like the default skins are missing. I always customise so that does not matter too much. It is still a battery hog. It does not seem too stable as it has rebooted back to WinMo twice so far. Overall, the build is still very nice.
Previously, I was using MDJ's v4.0 build of the Desire HD rom.

I have four chinese input options: zhuying, changjie, pinyin and bihua.
but none of them is handwriting... the "bihua" is for you to choose, not write on the screen...
Please help.
p/s: sorry for hijacking the Desire forum as my android is Desire based.

chinese input on android

how to get chinese input in android? I am new to android.
I just downloaded google input IME from market place and installed, it is enabled in settings(languages), but keyboard did not change in messages and browser input. why?
any other apps will work?
The default way to change input method has been changed in ICS. Instead of long pressing at any text entry field, In ICS you will see a small keyboard icon in the left corner from the status bar when the keyboard shows up, then you can pull the status bar down and change the input method from there.
Google Pinyin IME is average. Some better options are sogou input and touchpal input. Sogou does not support ICS at this moment. But touchpal V5 works flawlessly.
I actually set default keybord to google pinyin, but then I cannot enable default english keyboard. what if I want to try other chinese keyboard? is there a way to enable multiple keyboard?
What if I want stock ICS keyboard to have Chinese? Any way I can do that?
I really like the stock keyboard and I don't want to use third party keyboard if at all possible
Also looking for this option....Surely there must be a way to switch to hand written chinese input via the stock ICS keyboard right ??? I realise that 3rd party apps are available but they are all terrible IMHO. Looking for something similar to how iPhone handles Chinese input....any ideas / suggestions ?
i'm using penpower, it not made for ics, as the writing pad does not fit the whole bottom half of the screen, but it works.
updated, just installed the ics version.
google voice input is the best. i use HK traditional.

touchpal is good too. they got chinese pack and handwriting pack.
go to System Setting > Language & keyboard > System Language. Then, scroll down and check PinYin option. You can choose handwriting too.
Later, when you're at a text box you will can toggle between English and Chinese using a "EN" key at left side of your spacebar.

I'm guessing that you actually mean "auto-correct" rather than T9 (T9 is a specific method of typing text using the number keys of a standard phone keypad). You can manage its state at Settings --> Language & Input. Tap on the settings button next to Android Keyboard. At the top you will have "Input Languages". Click on that and you can select what language to use. Scroll to the bottom and you can change the Auto correction options.
Hope this helps.

Japanese handwriting support?

I see Japanese as an option in the handwriting language list, but not in the keyboard list. If it's not listed in the keyboard list I can't actually select it while using the handwriting keyboard (which seems rather broken to me). Anyone know how to get this going?

I'm not sure if this is what you want - try Google Japanese Input.
After install, you can enable them in your Settings > Language and input.
Google Translate does japanese handwriting rocognition too.
you need the keyboard and libs from a Japanese ROM. Japanese isn't intergrated into the Samsung keyboard. It has its own Samsung Japanese keyboard. There is another thread around that lists the stuff you need to extract from a Japanese ROM.
Else try third party like others suggested, Swype supports handwriting doesn't it as well?

How to add languages to S-pen direct input?

I cannot get my Note to recognize Finnish writing in direct input popup window no matter what. Works fine on my Note 3 though.
There is the language indicator showing that it is set on English but the menu that opens by holding on it has no options for other languages even though I've enabled them from settings.
The real problem is that it simply wont accept characters åäö. On my Note 3 the Menu only has Finnish but even with that selected I can write English without issues (like now).
Where's the problem?
Try swiping left or right on the space bar to change the handwriting language. I have Greek enabled in addition to English so that I can write the necessary Greek characters for my scientific notes.

Is there no way to enable both languages at the same time?
Same for my SwiftKey Keyboard.

Under settings/control/languages&input, click the cog next to samsung keyboard. The next page should give the option to add input languages. Then when using handwriting input window, holding down the second item at the top lets you choose your newly loaded languages.
Max languages is 4 including english so if you're a true polyglot you're in for a lot of extra tapping :/

[Q] multiple languages in keyboard

does the amazon keyboard allows it?
i could not find it anywhere. and i am really liking the keyboard, if it wasn't for that flaw. I usually desperately need 2 different languages for any text entry to be useful. ideally 4.

Hi,
I've got the Fire Phone and I use 2 languages, Dutch and English.
Go to Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard language and download the language you want to use, you don't have to select it if it's not the default you want.
Then when using the keyboard, long-press the space bar to change the language
