Japanese IME for the T-Mobile G1 - G1 General

Alohas from Honolulu, Hawaii Just wondering if anyone knows if the G1 will be able to type in Japanese or if anyone is creating a .cab file for it. Reason why is that I wanna be able to send SMS/MMS to my sister-in-law whose living in Japan. Mahalos in advance.

anyone

According to the official roadmap, Japanese IME and the software keyboard (both of which will require the same framework) are scheduled for Q1 2009. どういたしまして。

Searching for Asukals Japanese IME

Since the server over at "h++p://asukal.net/blog/2006/09/post_20.html" is down I was wondering if anybody is kind enough to share the Japanese VGA IME with me; it seems Asukal was the only one hosting it as I can't find any other place... Maybe Asukal himself lurks around in the forum somewhere, too?

Asukal on business trip will back 02/15 please wait for him or you can pm to him as well
I guess I could wait for him, but all I need is just the "JAP 31J VGA" package which I am sure somebody must still have on his PC. I'd rather not bother Asukal with such a small thing if anybody could put it on rapidshare quickly.
The packages are both online again and should work now under WM6. So everybody who had trouble getting it to run under the various WM5 editions just give it a try again ^^

Moving to Japan with Hermes?

I'll be moving to Japan in September so I thought I'd get some info from Hermes users over there.
Is it enough to just install the Japanese language input program I've seen in the searches? Or do you guys recommend sticking a full Japanese ROM on there? My kanji skills are sub-par, so that worries me about putting a full ROM on.
Suggestions for service providers, and general cost for voice+data? Is it cheaper for non-PDA phones? Will they freak out if I bring my Hermes since I won't need a phone with my contract?

I will be a bit OT, hope you do not mind...
If you wish to use non-commercial input methods posted here you will need two things:
> japanese fonts (to view characters instead of squares)
> japanese input system
Asukal on this forum is source of knowledge in that matter. He is japanese and he has posted here a lot of methods how to view or input far eastern languages. Definitely give him a pm, or view some of his threads. I've been able to use his input methods .cabs on english ROM without problem (well when writing with hardware keyboard I lost ability to input special symbols via "dot" and "space" combination, but apart from that it is working fine and I doubt you will need these because you use english).
Thanks, KarhU. I'll read through Asukal's posts to get me up to speed.

Japanese on Imagio

Does anybody know how I can get my phone to view/write in Japanese? There's no option in my regional settings and a friend told me to come here. Any help would be awesome, thanks!
My suggestion would be to look into HTC or Verizon (or perhaps your carrier) for a Japanese ROM.
Needless to say once the Imagio ROM cooking gets going you're bound to find more information.
P.S Welcome to the forums, please make sure you've read the Forum Rules and you're pretty much guaranteed to enjoy your stay here.
I've already checked with HTC and after not understanding my question several times, I think they finally got it and they don't have anything. So I was hoping someone knew where a crack or something was. Not being able to read Japanese isn't going to help me on a global phone I bought to take to Japan.
Thanks though. If anyone else has info or suggestions, I'd appreciate them.
CE-Star is made by Chinese company, but it works for the Japanese language.
Please google for the CE-Star, you can get information.
A very nice person is providing the software

My review: For using the CE-Star, we can write/read in IE, Opera, Outlook, but it does not work for any text message.

completely lost - adding a language

First of all, I'll go ahead and apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.
I purchased a usa tmobile hd2 last week. I was told it could support THAI language. (purchased the phone for my gf)
But, once we took it home - it was not an option. Figuring this was one of the latest phones.. I haven't returned it yet!
however, I have no clue on how to start. I've been reading tutorials but so far.. nothing makes sense.
So my question:
Is there a simple way of adding THAI to this phone?
?
what do you want your phone to do? do you want all the language on your phone to read thai or you want to be able to just read your language in certain programs like e-mails. also do you want to be able to input in thai???
please be more specific
^ korean flag.. I'm also korean
anyhow.. figured it out. (somewhat)
found a .cab file that allowed "thai" to be an option under language/region settings.
so, my gf can now read emails from her friends.
Now, I installed a thai keyboard.. but when you send texts or emails, they show up as "?" marks.
Ideally, I think my gf would prefer the entire phone to be in thai
whole phone

there are couple threads on the windows app and developments thread that allows your gf to change every font on her phone to thai. there is also a reg edit you can do to get other languages on your phone. do a quick search. as far as the ? i believe the receiving party's phone has to support other languages. pm me if you need farther assistance. good luck
just type in language support in the search engine

[Q] Someone help before I smash this thing!

Bought a verizon imagio in Australia, not really tech savvy with phones but unlocked it using mr x rom, no mms and I have googled but am stuck a little and would appreciate help... I live on a boat and this phone is to be my tv and communications, the tv part requires mms to work and I have googled but can't work out how to get it working, I think I need a registry editor and I downloaded the cab (I don't even know what this is!) that the thread said but haven't done anything with it, I apologise for the noob Q. Your help would be appreciated regards
