[Help] Building a rom for Korean

Hi, I was trying to make a Korean Rom for Hermes for quite some time... can you share your sorce for making one and how to? This is what I've tried till now and the qusetions I have...
The Question:
1. How do I install and change the default font of the ROM?
2. How to change the dictionary in your language, settings for your language, t9 dictionary for your language, keyboard layout?
Here is the tutorial I've found: (originaly written by a member of XDA-Developers: Tna)
Step 1
(a)Download your language emulator Files from
(b) install the downloaded file
(c)Take the emulator image that you want from the installation folder.
For example, if you have downloaded the images for Korean language look in the folder "C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\PocketPC\Deviceemulation\0412":
The image for Hermes is: PPC_KOR_GSM_VR.BIN
(d) extract the emulator files in a new folder.
to extract files from the emulation rom follow this direction:
- Download Tadzio's imgfs
- Unzip the tools along with the emulator image(PPC_KOR_GSM_VR.BIN) in any folder.
- Rename the image to A.BIN (to make the next commands easier to type).
- Open a D.O.S. command window and perform these commands:
Code:
> NBSPLIT -emu A.BIN
(it generates two files: A.BIN.EXTRA and A.BIN.PAYLOAD)
> IMGFSFROMNB A.BIN.PAYLOAD IMGFS.BIN
(it generates the file IMGFS.BIN)
> IMGFSTODUMP IMGFS.BIN
(Now the extracted files are dumped in /Dump directory)
(e) Rename ALL the 4xx files to 412 (e.g. 0412.mui -> 0.409.mui) Apply this to all files and folders (an eyasier way to do that is to search from windows for all *412* files and then rename them)
Step 2
Find your BASE ROM. (e.g. Hermes Black Rom)
Step 3
Download your Kitchen. (e.g. Anichullus Core Professional Kitchen)
Step 4
Dump the BASE ROM (If you use Anichullus Kitchen , follow the manual but Stop BEFORE using Bepe's Package TOOL)
Step 5
Go to DUMP folder (e.g. C:\core\extract\dump) and paste ALL the language files you have
renamed from step 1e. ATTENTION you have to copy and paste ALL files from your
language folder AFTER you have renamed them to 409 . REPLACE duplicate files
Step 6
Continue with kitchen steps . For instance if you were to use Bepe's Package TOOL , go on and build the packages.
Step 7
Edit Initflashes.dat file . Information on how to do that are in every cooking tutorial. In
Intflashes.dat file you will have to translate all the links and directories according to your
language files. CAUTION if you make mistakes in translation your WM6 will be crappy and
programs may not start
->In order to make a good translation check your original rom, or try the WM6 emulator with your language files and check the directory names.
Step 8
Save Initflashes.dat in unicode and remove first two bytes with a hex editor
Step 9
Choose your OEM packages.
about keyboard, you must add with a oem package also:
- dictionary in your language
- settings for your language
- t9 dictionary for your language
- for keyboard layout make this registry mod:
Code:
Registry Editor:
HKCU >> ControlPanel >> Keybd
Create a string "Locale" with "0412" vale. Everything without "Where 0412 is your country value.
Step 10
build your rom according to your kitchen manual

Hi, I have the same dubiousness, where I find the keyboard packages? I'm looking for Keyb Portuguese Brazil(Dictionary, settings, etc)... If anybody know please help me.Thank's.

Howto add extra language to Phonepad B&B 4.1

I was searching for a way to add the Dutch language to the B&B 4.1 ROM of Tom.
I saw in the thread a lot of people where searching for this so i made a little howto
First of all i need to thank the guys from who i have gotten this here in xda (search & find):
- ctibor
- hiblopp
Well here we go:
Code:
1. Copy T9DutchLdb.dll to \Windows folder of Artemis.
4. Edit the Artemis Registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\IntelliPad
a. Incerease by one the value of the "LibraryCount" dword (in my case from 10 to 11)
b. Created a "Library10" dword with the value of 8. (This is for the Dutch language).
Soft reset and you can use the dutch language in Phonepad!
If you want to use another language not provided you must copy the appropriate T9<language>Ldb.dll to the \Windows folder.
AND
change the Library10 value to the value for your language.
These are the languages i found in another thread:
7=Danish
8=Dutch
9=Finnish
10=Hungarian
11=Norwegian
12=Polish
13=Romanian
14=Slovak
15=Swedish
I have added the dutch language file for people who want to make the change!

Hi RikP just did your settings and it seems to work fine thanks!
Do you know also a way to get the keyboard to recognize dutch words?
(or do I have to wait till i typed them all )

Thanks for the guide!

Did a quick search and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299036
Does it fix your problem?

T9
A better method would be the easy one . First you have to copy your t9 file directly in windows folder. Than select phonepad as input method (click on the little arrow beside the keyboard on the bar) and select Options... Input Method: Phone Pad. Select Options... Languages tab... Database... and select your language.
For t9 DLL's i downloaded t9languages.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290007.
I added Romanian in my phone and works great.
PS: Sorry my english, hope is allright.

Best software keyboard - the TouchPAL 4.0

Dear All,
Touch PAL has a beta version available the Touch PAL 4.0 (upgrade from 3.5), its just the best software keyboard i ever have used. Now my HD is almost perfect, such good that i even have doubts to buy the Touch PRO 2.

Thx for the heads up. I agree, no matter what other keyboard I try, just always go back to touchpal...bit of a learning curve to it but worth it as once learned its simply the best and fastest to use. Just love it!

Any link to the beta version? I recall I really liked this, but ditched it as it didn't have a landscape mode.
**EDIT** Sorry, here it is - http://www.cootek.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=854

I didnt know this software before this, post, but after try it, it is the best keyboard software by far
thanks

I have been using this since 3.5 and think it is the best ever, and now with v4.0, it simply blows everything away!
I prefer this over Fingerkeyboard2 and the HTC Touch Input.

I've started using it since it's FOC day v.1.0.. It has come quite a long way.
Like the new landscape layout (tho' I hardly use THD in that mode) and I can type as fast using the T+ layout as if I'm in portrait mode! Cool!
Now, waiting for them to load up other language pack, and hopefully add in some symbols on the T+ layout, instead of having two '.' and ','.

All languages wich already exists will also work for 4.0
You just have to modify one little thing..
Open ActiveSync and open the Device Browser and go to "My Windows Mobile based device.." then go to Program Files\TouchPal\Surfaces..
There you will see already installed languages.. now open up the directory off the language you want to have available in TouchPal 4 for example dutch.
In this directory you will see dutch.img and surface.data just simply rename the surface.data to dutch.data same as the name of the directory..
If you get the message can't modify jadajada.. then just chose another keyboard on you're device, and then it will work after the renaming you must restart you're device!!!
Happy Typing T+

For this version there are other language files?

hi
tried this for norwegian language, but did not work.
I see the language but I can not choose it.

I bought it for my kaiser and it was great. It's picked up some problems with the Touch HD implementation though. Odd fiddly bugs like the unreliable way it interacts with the HTC input selector, occasional reversion back to the WM6 keyboard and it's not brilliant with opera.
Hopefully they'll fix.
Jon

Sad to report that I lost v.4.0.. after trying to tweak the language file.. this may not be the cause, since others have not issue with it.
Basically, v.4.0 doesn't load or load up a blank page (1/2 the height of the normal keyboard size) at the bottom which doesn't disappear untile I change the SIP. Uninstall, reinstall, uninstall and install v.3.0 and reinstall v.4.0 etc all no use.. sad...
sigh..
Edit：
Solved the problem with the help from the developer. Back up your language files in Surface, uninstall TouchPal, delete all the TouchPal folder in Program File and reinstall. Then Soft reset. Viola!

Anyone tried deleting the other language file before? Is it ok? How about the Chinese language file from v.3.5? Anyone tried it yet? I have it installed, but it's the fifth one on the list at the bottom, so can't access it unless I remove one of the other language.

You will have to remove other language files before you can select another.. just installed a new rom i'm trying some other language files right now.. I will report the status of the testing
**UPDATE**
"Have to be 3.5 language files.."
Norwegian :: tested :: Works file: Norwegian.rar
Dutch :: tested :: Works file: dutch.rar
Install language file:
1. Chose another keyboard
2. With ActiveSync open up the Device Browser
3. Go to \Program Files\TouchPal\Surfaces
4. Extract here an language file from above
5. Restart youre device
6. Select TouchPal keyboard
Reminder:
You have to delete other language files before you can use other language files
1. Chose another keyboard
2. With ActiveSync open up the Device Browser
3. Go to \Program Files\TouchPal\Surfaces
4. Delete every language you don't need except for English

I did the above before, and I can't even get TouchPal to launch after deleting the language files that come with it.

if can't afford..using chinese version instead of cracked version..XD

The title should read "Best software keyboard - the TouchPAL 3.5"
IMO 4.0 is a step backwards, I don't use landscape keyboard so the only good thing about this update is nicer skin.

swedish dic SUCKS
This software is great and one of the best if not the best IMHO.
BUT no matter how good a software is for putting in text is. If the dic is bad there is really no use for it.
Different tempus for verbs is non existing and so cumbersome to input. the best would be if it could use the HTC dic like fingerkeyboard. Which really is the best dic a experience so far.
Other really bad thing is trying to get help on their forum to build a good Swedish dic has been non excisting. Atleast for me.
just my 2 cents
Regards
/Frewys

Nice keyboard indeed, and language version of djxfma works good.
Bu I miss the SMS name suggestion function of the HTC input and finger keyboard.
I will give it a try though.
Thanx for this application.
L.

It still can, just a bit more troublesome. After typing the name, press 'Space' and then delete the spacing and the name suggestion will work.

Greek Text Prediction for Gingerbread Keyboard

Hello all,
I recently became a ZTE Blade owner and I decided to flash it with the latest CM 7.1.0 RC1 ROM, only to find out that the stock Android keyboard does not yet support text prediction in Greek. Since I didn't want to install a third-party Greek IME from the market, I decided to inject a Greek dictionary found in a previous CM release (6.1.2) inside the already existing LatinIME.apk.
Other than the addition of the Greek dictionary, this LatinIME.apk is just like the stock one found in CM 7.1.0 RC1. It was decompiled/recompiled/signed with APK Manager. I don't know if it's going to work on other devices/ROMs, but you can try and share your results.
UPDATE: Apparently there was a minor problem with the keyboard, causing the "&" symbol to display as "&amp". I corrected it a couple of days after posting the APK here, but I forgot to update this post. I have now uploaded the correct APK and updated the link below, let me know if it works.
How to install:
1. Navigate to /system/app using Root Explorer and copy your existing LatinIME.apk to a backup folder in your SD card (just to be sure, should things go wrong).
2. Use Root Explorer to mount /system/app as R/W and then paste the new LatinIME.apk inside this folder. Change the file's permissions to rw-r--r-- after pasting.
3. Reboot your device and go to Settings > Language & Keyboard > Android Keyboard > Input Languages. Under Greek, it should now say "Dictionary available".
Download Link:
https://rapidshare.com/files/1386317323/LatinIME.apk

Works perfectly with Cyanogen 7.03 and wildfire.
Thanks!

Works Great on HTC Hero running Elelinux-7.1-Hero-Custom-v2 (Cyanogenmod 7.1 based)

A.I.type Keyboard will support Greek text prediction soon
We are releasing Spanish and Hebrew today. German and French next week. Then Arabic, Italian, Portuguese and Greek (in no particular order). So we hope to support Greek within a month and a half.
They keyboard itself already supports Greek, but doesn't provide text prediction, corrections and completions in this language.
FYI.

Fantastic work
Works really well with my Acer Liquid Metal
Thanks

[Q] XL 4.1.2 -- set default language to hebrew

Hello everyone,
I bought a nokia XL in belgium. I've managed to root it + installed Gapps.
I need to set the default language to hebrew. I tried Language enabler but it doesn't work for me.
I also need to be able to add an hebrew keyboard (which is not available in the nokia keyboards'language choice).
What are my choices?
TIA & cheers. :fingers-crossed:

You're not totally out of luck, but...well, it's complicated.
You can install MoreLocale 2, a free and open source app which requires no rooting to force apps which have a Hebrew translation to use those. Essentially it's similar to the Language Enabler app which you've tried and which really didn't do the trick for you. Know why? Because the Nokia X's default ROM ships with only a handful of languages, which are:
Bahasa Indonesia (Malay)
Bahasa Melayu (Indonesian)
Čeština (Czech)
Deustch (German)
English
Español (Spanish)
Français (French)
Italiano (Italian)
Magyar (Hungarian)
Polski (Polish)
Português (Portuguese)
Română (Romanian)
Slovenčina (Slovak)
Tagalog
Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)
Türkçe (Turkish)
Ελληνικά (Greek)
Беларуская (Belarusian)
Български (Bulgarian)
Қазақша (Kazahk)
Русский (Russian)
Українська (Ukrainian)
العربية (Arabic)
हिन्दी (Hindi)
ไทย (Thai)
中文 (Chinese)
Any and all other languages not listed above are not natively supported by the default ROM, but you can manually add the support...or more precisely, try to, since you have a rooted device. You'll need to install Xposed Framework and the resOverloader module for it. You'll also need a computer with:
The official USB drivers for the Nokia X
Android Software Development Kit (SDK) installed
Java Software Development Kit (SDK) installed
apktool
Using these tools you are able to extract the system apps' files and the necessary framework .apk file from your device into your computer. After you've decompiled each and every app, you'll need to create a temporary folder for your resOverloader work; I created mine in D:\ so the full path to the folder was D:\resOverloader\. Then you'll need to create a folder inside the resOverload folder and name it according to the app's package; say, if you wanted to translate the HERE Maps app, the package -- and thus the folder -- would be called com.here.app.maps, so the full path would be D:\resOverloader\com.here.app.maps and you'd need to copy the original strings.xml file here from the sources decompiled by apktool, and then manually translate it! Talk about a tedious process -- took me over a week to translate most of the system apps and whatnot.
Once you've translated whatever you want and need, push the resOverloader folder to your device via the "adb push" command into /storage/sdcard0/ (which would mean that the path to the HERE Maps app's translations would be /storage/sdcard0/resOverloader/com.here.app.maps/). Reboot, or if you want to avoid rebooting, go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > choose the "All" apps view > find the respective app (say, Maps), tap on it > choose "Clear cache" and you may also need to choose "Clear data" (doing so deletes your data, so be careful and don't use this option if your device has valuable information which isn't backed up anywhere!)
...
By the time you've done all this, you'll notice that despite all your great and time-consuming efforts, some pesky apps won't display in the non-English language you've chosen, no matter what. The biggest offender is the Settings app (com.android.settings), but the Phone app also has some dialogs and whatnot in English, despite that I've translated them; Messaging and Contacts will require the caches to be purged in order to work correctly. Internet (built-in Xpress Browser app) and Camera display menus which contain multiple choices (such as Camera's "Storage" option) display the menu label in your chosen language, but the actual options in English -- this is likely a problem with my translation files, though, as opposed to the resOverloader module or the actual device firmware, I'd guess.
So what do you have at the end of the day, if you've followed my above "guide" patiently and correctly? A Nokia X device which sometimes speaks the desired language to you, and often also speaks English, whether you want it to or not. How to fix this, then? I have no idea, I'm afraid; if you know someone who does or you know yourself how to fix this, do speak up, please! It would be lovely to have the X support at least all the languages the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) does. And yes, I'm somewhat annoyed by the fact I spent over a week translating and fine-tuning these strings.xml files only to find out that they don't quite work "as advertised"...
As for enhancing the Nokia Keyboard to support a new language or multiple languages, I don't know anything about that either -- though it's something I'd also need to do for my native language, Finnish, which isn't supported by Nokia X natively -- but maybe someone else in this forum does?

Hi Jack. thank you very much for such a complete answer. I take from it that it is not a path I will follow. I thought there would be some original ROM I could use.
Anyway, regarding the keyboard I installed another app which offers the keyboards I need.
Cheers.
