hi all!
couldn't find anything using search, so here it goes...
for me one of prerequisites of the ROM selection is to have so called English(Russian) lang choice in the setup process, since half of my contacts are in Eng and half - in Ru. having dual language in the phone keypad and prediction is paramount.
lately i found ReflexTSense HD ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791315 ) which suits this purpose perfectly. the only problem there is that 720p video is still not working, even in 1.5.1 and that's a killer. sadly the author failed to mention this in his post...
are there any Sense ROMs cooked with this kind of dual-lang support? i know for fact that some have 720p working (tried them myself). is there a way to add this dual-lang functionality to one of the 720p working ROMs? the problem is that even though Russian is supported in most of them, it does not mean that English(Russian) language is available as a selection in the beginning, hence no dual-lang phone pad later on.
sorry for long post, help is greatly appreciated.
thanks!
gents! (and possibly ladies!) anyone, some help, please?
is it really such a difficult/rare thing to have a dual lang keypad and prediction for the keyboard?

I want to be able to input Simplified Chinese - but I don't want an entirely Chinese OS. After some searching I've found these (I'm not sure if I remember the names correctly):
CE-Star - doesn't work well at all. For me, at least.
"Ask China_FEPNo5" - mysterious thing, but it does let me input everything using stylus. No predictive input. (EDIT: I think the credit goes to asukal)
PlumSIP No. 5 - takes a lot of space on the screen, but no hardware keyboard support.
There should be something built-in in the Chinese ROMs, and a lot of cooks starting with Dopod ROMs must have stripped it down - so can anyone give me an idea of where to search?

Thank you. This forum required a registration to view, and I found a discussion of yet another ROM build. However, download links simply do not work.
What I hoped for would be some information about where is the IME itself stored in ROM... now I can only compare that and the stock one, but there are too many differences, I'm afraid.
Hello everyone!
I have the usual problem with the system limiting my SMSs to 70 characters when using the Greek alphabet.... Someone suggested on the Smart Keyboard forum (http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=970&p=4484#p4484) that HTC has solved this. But for me, the problem persists in a weird way:
-Of course I type in all caps
-If I use any letters that are specific to the Greek alphabet (Ψ,Ω,Δ,Λ,Σ etc) the limit stays at 160 characters
-If I type a letter that is common to the latin alphabet it drops to 70 characters!
It's strange, but I haven't seen much talk about this issue here, though it was a big topic in WinMo discussions (WM has the same problem).
So:
-Can someone verify whether or not HTC has fixed this?
-Does anyone have a suggestion?
Using RevolutionHD 2.09 with 1.72.405.3 .
Thanks!

Anyone?.... I also tried the IME mod v27 to no avail...
Goodmorning my friend,
Unfortunately my friend you have to use the ACE HELLAS solution for this, which is a "top secret" info, they will never help you out with this.
Had the same problem with my previous phone (HTC Legend), and ended up using SlideIT with Greek add-on, which I remember that worked for SMS (ofcourse always caps). Give it a try and let me know.
In case you really need Greek, and you are willing to come back to ACE HELLAS stock, I can Nandroid mine when it comes back from service and upload the ROM for you.

Good morning Kostantinos,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply... I can't believe we're in the same s#!+ with Ace Hellas once more - it was the exact same situation some 4 years ago when I got my TytnII! Of course this is not the sign of a serious company (speaking both for HTC and ACE) since the fix should have found its way upwards and be included in the stock HTC ROMs.... but I digress.
I'm running a custom ROM, so I wouldn't want to go back to a stock one, but I guess that this could be rectified by just grabbing the relevant apk(s)?
Also,thanks for the SlideIt kb. I had tried it, but didn't remember it fixes the problem - will try again.
Thanks again, and have a great day,
Themis
I will let you know regarding APKs after I root my DHD, as soon as I receive it back from service (the blur picture left part camera issue).
Until then, you can also "dig" information and try the new Swype beta for DHD as well, but I dont think it supports Greek at the moment (not sure). If I find anything I will send you a link.
Yes, the problem is really frustrating, but at least the WM problem was a single HTC_ime.cab file, which worked in almost all devices. In Android it is a real pain in the arse!!! That is why I still stick with the stock ROM.
After 3 years of upgrading Android OSs, this problem should have been fixed generically, from the box.
OK, you can try here... NOT tested, but you have chances to work
Thanks - I'll take you up on your offer, so please do forgive me if I bother you with a PM in a few days
Swype doesn't have Greek - at least didn't have the last time I tried it, so it's a no-go, but SlideIt is good enough I think - it's just that it's totally different and i happen to like the HTC Kyboard
Was it an IME cab for WM? I seem to remember it was a keyboard cab. And it seems to be the same here - there are messaging apps (call me Handcent) that solve it with the stock keyboard, but there are also third-party kb's that solve it with the stok messaging app! So it seems it can be fixed two-ways... If I could help in any way with digging into the ROM please do let me know!
Oh, just got a notification about your second post in a row - wow, it includes Greek! Lemme grab it, quick
Thanks once more mate, it's strange how not more people discuss this issue (time to visit the ACE Hellas fora again after several years I think! ).
Cheers
T

Ahhh yes I remembered the problem with Swype: it FCs whenever you switch languages... so kinda useless
[edit] and, also, it doesn't solve the 70-char issue, it's exactly the same. Gonna try SLideIt.
[Edit2] ..aaand SlideIt does the same as well.

My dear friend can you send me the HTC_ime.cab file or tell me where can I find it? I have the exact same problem with my wm6.5 phone! I don't want to use the solution with the remapped keyboards!
Number of Characters has to do with Unicode or GSM Alphabet?
This is the first time I bumped into this issue, and I must admit it sucks
Here's the deal, in every single phone I had I've used the phone (UI) in english, and wrote text in spanish using Itap.
My last phone (nokia 5800) had no problems with that.
With this new one, Moto Defy, I see there's no way to change the UI language, and the auto-prediction separately.
I thought it had to do with the fact that Android by default doesn't have a T9 like keyboard for text input so I downloaded a couple of apps for that but all have the same issue, they work fine, but they keep using the language for auto-prediction set in Settings (which is English, for the UI)
Does anybody know how I could accomplish this?
Hope somebody can help =)
Regards!
I had your same issue and I solved it using "htc ime mod keyboard"; you can find it here on xda forum, not on the market (therefore you have to manually install it).
It's fully customizable, has T9 prediction, supports many languages.
Infact I configured the volume button to quickly switch between 2 languages that I use.

thanks, i've tested it and tried but it feels somewhat slow to me :S
I'm really picky when it comes to typing speed so maybe it's just me. I'll see what I can do but thanks =)
pls help to confirm me that the ONLY language the revolution & Leedroid supports is english with original ROM? i really need a chinese enabled one.
and the purpose i turn to customed ROM is for battery time extending, so kindly brief me the advantages for these two, especially in battery juice saving, thanks
any one help
Try MIUI roms...they are all chinese
I'm using Android Revolution and I can say that it supports Chinese, in fact in 3.1 it supports 3 kinds of chinese (don't know what the difference is, i suspect traditional, simplified and no clue about the 3rd one). As 3.2 is just out, I guess it should also have chinese
good luck with it.
thanks, i think revolution and leedorid are from official ROM, sure they get htc sense UI, which i like, so the optional MIUI i will pass.
i slip to tell, they supports chinese means also they can key in with chinese characters as above Dxue to say, with your explanations i will explore through the forum thread to find out

Android revolution supports chinese input as well , would be weird if it shows chinese but you cannot type it . there are 4 ways to input chinese characters, pingying, writing, with the 5 strokes and another I don't recognize.
(I'm a dutch chinese guy, so I use it sparely, but my chinese really sucks ).
don't know it this answered your question or not. if you need more info just ask

i get it, my friend, i am filing the treads and starting to flash this ROM, thank you
Hello,
There is an awesome build of MIUI GB that is rock solid and stable. It is probably the fastest build of MIUI GB I have seen so far. The issue is that it is all in Chinese. I could set the language to English and push the eri.xml file to get English displaying.
I have a few nagging issues:
Dictionary not working correctly with the native GB keyboard.
Handful of apps in Chinese (sidekick.apk, calendar app, monitoring app)
Some apps do not appear in Market (perhaps due to region setting)
I would like to get my feet wet with converting roms, but not sure where to start.
You might try hitting up swiperat to see if he may be able to help. He has been working a 4.0 version in the developers section.
You get this project worked out maybe you can take a stab at this one after.
