1. Displaying Japanese text
2. Japanese Advanced IME
3. SoftBank MMS

Fantastic job．I try it at once．

Oh wow... This is awesome stuff... Do you mean i can put the Softbank IME on my WWE ROM? I am just uninstalling my other Japanese enabling software so i can try it out right now (Even though its 2:30am and i have to work tomorrow...)

Perfect!
I now have my ultimate phone!
Ok well maybe if the battery would last a full day, but i am willing to accept that because now i have a proper Japanese input and access to Kaomoji
THANKYOU!
Edit: at 3am its hard to think straight and easy to get excited Any way to fix up the fact that the compact qwerty no longer works (only enters numerics, no alphabet), and proper T9 using the phonepad SIP? I assume thats the result of installing LetsJapan?
Also, are Emoji removed intentionally, or disabled for some reason?
Still very grateful by the way!

Please see the flinx1 thread for Japanese input for more information about the T9 bug:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
It has to do with how LetsJapan sets all keyboards to 411 (Japanese), while T9 requires 409 (English) to work properly. You can revert the registry settings to 409+411 (see thread above), but you need to use the Ctrl+Shift shortcut to switch between keyboards (similar to Alt+Shift on Windows).
Emoji will require a special font, or HTML rendering provided by S!Mail. Are you perhaps referring to kaomoji? If so, kaomoji requires dictionaries to be updated/installed. Those will depend on what IME you're using: standard MS IME (LetsJapan), ATOK, WNN, or FSKAREN. I'm not sure which the Softbank SIP uses (usually ATOK or WNN), but only MS IME is free to distribute; the rest are commercial products and it would not be okay to redistribute them.

The files above included the kaomoji so thats pretty cool, but the emoji (bitmap smileys) are not enabled. But i am pretty sure you are correct about it requiring HTML rendering or something like that... Probably if the SB MMS cab was installed it could be used, but then i couldnt use MMS here in Australia anymore.
Edit: Tried some of the registry suggestions in that thread (not that any of them were very clearly described), and nothing enables the T9/Compact qwerty keyboard again. As an FYI, prior to installing this IME, i was using flinkx1's cabs; installed directly without any other changes, and i had the same problem. I then uninstalled everything before trying this solution
Hate to sound like a noob (ok well i am), but is there any way to keep the original Touch T9 + Compact Qwerty functionality as well as the Keytouch SIP?

Yeah; Japanese phones use a basic HTML renderer to display emoji in their MMS (with the emoji images cached on the phone). The previous solution was to use MMSLite which used a special dingbats font and (afaik) would parse the HTML in the MMS and return text that used the dingbats. Crude but effective, although the emoji font was of course only black&white.
S!Mail should provide proper image-based emoji, but you may be right that it might not work with existing MMS services. Then again, it's possible S!Mail simply runs as a separate program/process and does not change existing MMS settings. But I have no firsthand experience so hopefully someone else can provide more information.
Getting T9+JPIME to work together is going to be difficult and will probably be different from person to person, because not everyone will be using the same kinds of SIPs and the registry settings might differ. However, I looked at the Keytouch CAB and there are a couple keys that are overwriting other settings that might cause T9 to become disabled:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip
DefaultIm = {9BBD6249-34B4-4cfe-934A-1F0607FB1D5C} sets Keytouch as default SIP
Use {62B00599-25D2-4e09-8C48-03BF26DB8517} for Compact QWERTY
HKCU\keyboard layout\Preload
@ = e0010411 sets JP as the default input method
Use e0010409 for English/T9; You may also need to change or switch the settings in Preload\1 and Preload\2 accordingly.
There are also some settings in HKLM, although I think changing them will cause Keytouch to not work. Of course, it's also possible that using Keytouch will disable T9 regardless of the settings, so there's no way to know for sure if T9+JPIME is possible until people do some further testing.

I thought I had responded already... Anyway, I do know that on the Softbank 705NK (AKA Nokia N73), S!Mail is implemented as regular MMS. Emoji are displayed as part of the font, and it is possible to enable Emoji in all areas of the phone with a bit of a tweak. My 705NK was sim-unlocked, and I was able to use MMS here in Australia just by setting the MMS server details
So I suspect the X04HT S!Mail client can also be used here; but only if you have access to the server settings
Now, I tried setting the region coding settings, but as expected, this broke the TouchKey SIP (well the SIP worked, but it couldn’t insert the Japanese characters into the message). Now I have another idea... If I install TouchPal SIP will that work together with TouchKey? I hear that TouchPal is supposed to be an amazingly good input system anyway...
Edit: This seems to be the solution. Touchpal works fine with Japanese region settings, and its arguably a better keyboard anyway...

The problem with the flinx1 package is that while it works for displaying Japanese it does not always work with getting the IME installed correctly. I tend to change roms almost daily but I keep my flinx pack in my nand memory so I can just reinstall at a whim.
Problem is, you can't use the flinx package with the default qwerty input from HTC. You must install a separate IME. I have been using spb keyboard as it has a quick switch to Japanese. But for some reason, as of late, I have been unable to get Japanese input working with spb keyboard without going in to the full screen keyboard option. Of course zgembo's isn't offering IME with the qwerty input but it is offering a reliable input method; something I have been without for far too long.
When I finish at work, I will give zgembo's a shot. Looks like big shoes to fill. I also need to get my Softbank MMS working. I have set up a gmail account with smtp but it's a pain when you mail to phones and they are set up to block internet mail. I would love to go back to my @softbank.ne.jp account.
@zgembo
I am staying tuned, bud. I have set up my mail correctly before by following an fc2 blog but I noticed that after a few messages or if the message has emoji or an attachment, I get the evil "unable to decode header" error. What app will you base the work on? MMS Lite, arcsoft, other, self created?
hate to nitpick
if possible, would you be able to edit your first post and change X04HT and X05HT to 'X05HT and X04HT'? Just so that it's parallel with the line before it (Raphael and Diamond phones).

Kev, do you have the SB ROM on your TD? Do you have access to the MMS settings like on the WWE versions (Servers etc?)
The IME put up by ZGembo is awesome. I am already typing Japanese quicker than i was on my 705NK, and Kaomoji is a nice bonus. English is a bit more difficult than a normal Phonepad input system, but its *exactly* the same as normal Japanese keitai's with the benefit of word prediction (the bit that is the same is that each letter doesnt 'time out' so if you want to type "back" you press 2 twice, then right d-pad or a long press of the 'キャッチ' button to move on so you can press 2 once for 'a' and then again so you can press it 3 times for 'c').

Dom,
I currently have ITJE's TouchIT on my Diamond. It's a really nice rom. I got S!Mail working on WWE before but it was such a hassle I gave up. I just got home now and am in the process of uninstalling what's on my device now and uploading both of zgembo's files to rapidshare. I will PM it to zgembo and it will be up to him/her to post it.
I want to give the gesture entry a try for JP input. Can you use the same SIP for both IMEs?

I noticed that the letsjapan screws up the date in TF3D on the home screen (top left). I assume this is because the WWE rom lacks the japanese TF3D files. If you change your region to English (USA; or other English) your date will be fixed and magically the JP input still works great with prediction.
Zgembo, all your work finally paid off! Nice job!

Zgembo said:
2. Japanese Advanced IME
This is a new thing. It enables word prediction input in both English and Japanese, and unlike traditional WM5 & WM6 Japanese IME engines, SoftBank introduced this third party IME (Omron mobile wnn v2?) and integrated into its newer ROMs. After installation, KeyTouch IME will become default. It only works in portrait mode, and in the case of landscape mode, IME will change to classic romaji or kana input. Kensaku and Tegaki IMEs are included. Also, settings for Japanese keyboard layout are in this CAB, so if you are using some different layout, you are on your own (there are plenty of posts around which explain how to change this). This CAB is only for VGA (480x640) devices (Planning to make QVGA version too, stay tuned)​

Doesn't this violate their copyright? it's not supposed to redistribute itself nor is a default Japanese IME for Windows Mobile from Microsoft. but Softbank just paid money to Omron to ship it in their product. it's a kind of a proprietary software.

Messes up how? (screenshot?)
All the WWE ROMs I've used come with MUIs for all languages (including Japanese). My guess is that LetsJapan is modifying the LCIDs (HKLM\nls) so that any non-ANSI Japanese programs can default to the corresponding codepage. TF3D will change accordingly, usually to 2009年02月18日 format (but that isn't exactly "screwed up"). You can of course customize regional settings (Settings > System > Regional > Date), and switch to English/西暦(英語) in order to change date localization back to English (for TF3D and other apps) while still keeping the device on the Japanese LCID/codepage.
Of course, I certainly haven't used every ROM so it's possible some chefs have removed all non-English TF3D MUIs, but you can't really blame that on LetsJapan.

Well, let's see. Flinx's pack doesnt do anything to the date display on the home tab of TF3D whereas every version of Lets I have tried, does. Flinx released a compatibility patch that is optional for his pack; once installed, it does the same thing to the date.
The thing that was happening to my date is like this:
Instead of saying: Feb 18, 2009, it would just change to 2 18, 2009. Again, this was easily fixed by going back to the English USA region. I did not claim that letsjapan screwed up anything that wasn't easily fixable by touching the screen a few times in the right places, nor was my remark about "nice job" in any kind of sarcastic tone. I wouldn't say I was placing blame anywhere.
As for the date thing... it's happened to me in every single WWE rom that I have tried installing LetsJapan on to. Again, this is fixed by changing the region or by installing TF3D tweak and setting the TF3D to japanese language altogether.
I have part 1 and 2 of zgembo's first post installed and all I can say is... fantastic.

The LCID keys that are included in the LetsJapan packs and in the optional flinx1 compatability patch are what cause TF3D (and any other app that relies on Regional Settings) to change the date format. It's a side effect, to be sure, and it will happen with all WWE roms, but it's not because LetsJapan (or the patch) are specifically affecting TF3D, nor is it because TF3D is missing 0411 MUIs.
I guess it's a choice of words; when you originally said "screws up the date in TF3D", I had imagined the date was somehow corrupted or illegible, and not simply a format change according to the LCIDs (which is normal).

At any rate it's amazing that WM, any windows for any system, is where it is now (just about 6.5) and IME is still such a pain in the ass. Why can't an OS just support this stuff without having to tweak so many little nooks and crannies. I just love the way the SIP that comes with our diamonds is simply incompatible with more than one IME.

Hi, I am new to all these stuff...

does anyone can help for my x05ht (Japanese keyboard)
Hi there.
I'm using x05ht which I bought cell phone in Japan.
so my x05ht keyborad layout is difficult to US Model.
and I was trying to search how to fix it in this forum.
then I found this thread.
I'm using EnergyRom1.6 Latest. then I tried to install
some software following step.
1.install the Rom
2.LetsJapanWM61r07.cab
3.KeyTouchJapIMEr07.cab
then I can type Japanese, and read Japanese.
But keyborad still doesn't work well.
which part should I edit (about reg or something relavent part.)?
I'm not sure, but when I using At0mAng Rom it works fine about keyborad.
especially now, function and some buttom isn't work.
when I push the fn button, then running calender. I also tried search any
thread about this problem. but usually I can't find the way to fix completely.
Best regards.

I was reading today about the MMS settings and it seems there are some registry hacks needed as well as a neat little browser called wasabi for enabling the yahoo keitai page.
Attached is said browser. Please note I am not the creator of this software and I found it at this link: url. I have not, as of yet, tried it either, so don't blame me if it doesn't work as I currently know only what I have skimmed on the above link.

This thread is meant to aid people in learning how to change the virtual keyboard layout in PPC2003SE. This is useful for people who upgraded to a WWE rom and still want to write text in their own language. In my case I need the Ñ character since I am spanish.
We are not dealing with the problem of the hardware keyboard layouts in Blue Angel units, as that is already solved in other threads.
So far my knowledge about this matter is that you can only change the layout using the Resco Keyboard Pro application.
Does anybody know of any simpler and cheaper way? (For example a CAB file)
Regards.

well it cant be that hard to do because
this program which does scandinavian keylayout have been free from day 1

I am using english wm6 rom and I can hardly find any t9 input method, which is the stroke input method in many chinese mobile device, for this version of windows mobile.
i prefer neither cd-star nor monster coz they are not stable and slow down the system. is there any stand alone SIP cab file available?

Hi, I was looking around and finally found this:
http://blog.g4team.com/?page_id=339
It is by far, the best that I've seen in terms of providing the ability to read Chinese Traditional, Simplified, and Japanese as well as inputting those languages. No registry tweaking necessary as Leies has already packed everything you need into cabs.
Be warned though, the "Enlarge Start Menu" utility will not work with it.
Specifically,
http://blog.g4team.com/?p=64
this will give you keyboard support for chinese input. No need for T9 when you have full keyboard available.

Wanna know which software can provide support to Chinese display and input on a Pharos..
I'd like to try the English version ROM here but still, need Chinese..

WM can display by itself
All you need to do is add the fonts. You can look at this solution to explain how to add the fonts to the registry.
For an IME/SIP, I suggest A4 or TouchPal.
There is also Hanwang for handwriting recognition. I haven't used it since I can't write.
One other small thing - make sure that your documents in My Documents have ascii names. In my case, Activesync choked on the Unicode filenames.

Display solution is for WM5.0. Is there any for WM6?
Thanks

cestar can meet your request

yeah i have installed the CESTAR but i can see blind screen when i open the sms ...any idea??

[APP]Yota Phone - Yota Center [27 January] VGA & WVGA updated
See post below

This is a translation of the original Yota Contacts application that comes with the HTC Quarts (MAX 4G) phone on the Yota network in Russia. Several people helped translate this from russian by hexediting the dialer application or translating the language xml in the skin. Cloudyfa released the first translated dialer.
Below you will find cabs for the YotaContacts application as well as the Yota Dialer. The two cabs below ONLY works for VGA devices (Touch Diamond and Touch Pro).
NONE OF THESE CABS WORK WITH CDMA DEVICES. This means the Verizon Touch Pro, the Sprint Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, etc
Please install these cabs to INTERNAL storage, not your storage card.
Link to mediafire download for Yota Contacts + Yota Dialer > http://www.mediafire.com/?mjiy0jlkmmu Updated Jan 26 12:01 PST
Link to TF3D icon skinned version of above cab. http://www.mediafire.com/?wionn0hzwzn
Link to Yota Contacts Only without the Yota Dialer > YozyCloud YotaContacts
If you're having any installation problems with these cabs (or the ones below this post) install SDKCERTS.CAB from the following link http://www.4shared.com/file/37343459/78d124a5/sdkcerts.html. SDKCERTS installs special certificates to allow applications that aren't signed by microsoft(or signed with the SDK certificates) to run properly.
------------------------------------------
Benefits:
- Yota Contacts completely replaces the built in windows Contacts application.
- New dialer that's much faster then the built in dialer.
- Favorites groups
- Better onscreen keyboard
Minuses:
- No easy VoiceMail access (holding down 1 doesn't work). The "New Voicemail" link on TF3D's homescreen also doesn't work.
- No "face down mute" feature.
- No "bluetooth on/off switch" while in a call.
- No "Slide to Answer".
- No "Company Directory" lookup if you're hooked up to a company Exchange server.
- This app doesn't display special characters in the contact names.
- S2U2's caller ID functions HAVE to be disabled (they conflict with the Yota Dialer)
- If you have a password lock on the phone, it will impede your ability to answer the phone quickly, because you will have to input the password before you can hit "Answer" on the screen.
- No video calling or "Videoshare" (yet)
Please keep in mind that none of the people involved in translating this application, actually developed it. This came from the HTC Quartz, which is a WiMax phone operating on the Yota network in Russia. Therefore, any requests you might have, to add this or that, CAN NOT, and I can't stress this enough, CAN NOT, even be considered. The reason ? We don't have the source code for the applications included in this package. All we can do is make graphical skin changes or translations to other languages... to a point. Also, the keyboard can't be extracted either, it's an integral part of YotaContacts.exe.
One more thing to remember is this app takes up quite a bit of RAM, which on a Diamond, Touch Pro, Touch HD, etc is not really an issue, since we have plenty of RAM. On a QVGA device, you should consider this before installing it, ESPECIALLY if you only have 64 Megs of RAM to start with.
There's several versions of this floating around, the version I posted here has the green dial key on the "dialer" screen. There's also versions found below that have this removed, in order to increase the area above the dialpad where you can see more than one contact. You will have to use the hardware dial button to make phone calls.
The application takes a few seconds (at least) to start the first time you use it after you turn the phone on. It's recommended to either put a shortcut to YotaContacts.exe in the startup folder, or after you run it, keep it running in the background, so it instantly comes on when you need it later.

ok i made some cabs with my latest VGA skin
these ones also have registry entries so it changes the default contacts app and also on your TF3D the Left Soft Key goes to Yota Contacts
for the latest version see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3222587&postcount=504
*teorouge to change the language, just extract the YotaContactsSkin.zip and go into languages, u'll find an xml file there
copy the eng.xml file and rename it to ita.xml, then translate the words and save
to activate the italian language u then go to Yota Contacts\Config\config.xml and set the language to ita

Yota Center
The program allows a quick start of all of the standard applications as well as the programs that the user has installed. It also forms a catalog of programs available for installation, helping the user to select and quickly install the programs that are needed. The Center checks for and informs the user about the updates available for the programs that are installed.

Works great on touch pro, thanks

Not that I can see. I have two ROM dumps and I don't see the files in either one, or anything remotely close to it. I'm starting to think that some things might be inside manila? Anybody want to attempt and package up the TF3D for the Yota and convert it from Russian to English?

I looked into it some more and I found out why we can't find anything in the official ROMs. The only thing in the official is that YotaLoader application that downloads all these addons (YotaContacts being one of them) AFTER the ROM is installed and the device is all setup. I guess when you're on a WiMAX network you can afford to do that, bandwidth wise. Hehe So we're SOL until YOTA decides to provide the missing MUI files in an "over the air" download, AND some smart russian on the Yota network will be kind enough to share it with the rest of us
p.s. Everybody having "issues" with the dialer and what ever.. READ the thread. There's several versions of this posted and some of the HAVE the dialer while other don't. For example, my version (VGA) has the Yota dialer, and even though it's in russian, it doesn't bother me at all.
p.s.s. For Alltheway... People already ported TF3D fromt he Quartz(Max4G), but it doesn't differ from the regular TouchHD version... so not much to gain from that....:/

Hi,
I found a lot of infos about some fantastic files from Asukal that allows Japanese input and reading on windows mobile 6.1 devices. But it seems there are some differences in registry editing for every models to get all the characters displaying correctly and the right keyboard layout.
But I am still looking for someone who has actually installed those files on the xperia and a list of what to do exactly to get everything right.
So far here is what I found:
Everything we install has to be installed on the main memory and not on storage card or device will not boot anymore.
we have to install this file for output:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/Localize/LetsJapanNo6.zip
do a soft reset
And this one for input:
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/IME_31J_F.zip
But we have to do some registry edit before the soft reset or the keyboard will not work. And maybe this patch will do the editing but I am not sure if it for HTC device or not and I am not sure anyway if Xperia is considered an htc device or not (because it is made in part by htc):
http://hn801.hkes.com/Data/SIP/Enable_IME_2.zip
there is also an Enable_IME_3.zip but I don't know what it is nor where it is.
do a soft reset
Note, if you don't install the Enable_IME patch before restarting, you will most probably have to hard reset your device.
So to make it short:
- LetsJapanNo6.cab
- soft reset
- IME_31J_F.cab
- DO NOT reset now!
- 2_Enable_IME_2.cab
- 2_Enable_IME_3.cab (not sure about his one)
- restart
I just got my xperia today so I did not tried it yet. If anyone has time to try, please report the results here. thanx all.

Some things I forgot to mention.
When you install those files the OS is supposed to stay in English (but I think some stuff like calendar get japanized but you can revert to english by reg edit).
Also the japanese IME is supposed to be the best you can find (better than Ce star cause it works with everything like the dictionnaries) and is the best at kanji recognition (you can draw a kanji with the stylus to search the meaning in a dictionnary!). there is a freeware that claim to do kanji recegnition but needs right kanji stroke number and order, which is useless for us learners cause if you know the stroke order you probably don't need to search the kanji.
So I can't wait to try this.

Strob were you ever able to get this working? I'd love to here a follow up on what happened when you tried install Asukal's on your X1.
I was able to get ce-star working pretty easily, but Asukal's sounds like a better option if its possible to get it working on the X1.

hi, may be someone have unicode fonts with hieroglyphs fo xperia?

Just to let you know I managed to get LetsJapanNo6 and IME31J_F working perfectly fine on my Xperia.
You don't need Enable_IME_2 or 3, just install the two CABs and modify the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010411]
"Keyboard Layout"=00000409
After that reboot and everything works, but the keyboard and SIP will default to かな. If you want it to default to alphanumeric, there's another registry entry to put in:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IMEJP\3.1\MSIME]
"option3"=0000000D
The "D" is hex for 13, it's not a string.
The Xperia works great browing Japanese web sites, running EB Pocket and Google Maps user interface changes to Japanese.
Hope this helps you get it working on your Xperia.

YES!!! Finally it's working for me too! Thanks to Asukal!
