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.

Not even then... I use ES file explorer and use wifi to access my computer files XD
Bad news though... I made the mistake of breaking a boot and my data.img got corrupted Been using WM until I can extract apps from old data and insert them in a new one (a little experiment).
Update about my little testing:
I gave up XD The problem is that I don't have a permanent linux installation anymore (a big mistake on my side), so it's difficult to work with ext2 images.
A USB live distro is good for little things, but not to create a stable testing environment
Luckily I had a recent backup with titanium.
Failed in GB, I tried the FRX05. But it has the same problem as GB:
1. dialer response is slow. Pressing a digit takes 4 seconds to be displayed.
2. Dial from xdandroid, connection ok but no voice from mic and speaker.
3. Dial to xdandroid, connection also ok, voice can be received but mic is dead.
Any idea why? How can I troubleshoot them?

Hello fellow A7 sufferers ;-)
I've got my tablet last week and so far I'm loving it. I got it to do almost everything I need.
But I still need 2 more things:
- Networking proxy system
- Bluetooth DUN (or USB Modem to phone / USB 3G Stick (Modem))
I've searched quite a bit and found some apps, none of them really work as intended on the A7 and some are actually unstable.
Is there anyone with a reliable method to make any of this to work?
Do we know if building the kernel of the git repo will render a usable ko module? or do we need some set of A7's specific patches?
I really thing this device has lots of potencial.
Cheers.
PS: By the way what's that thing of putting the device to sleep means no notifications of alarms nor emails... ? When I put my cellphone to "sleep" or even if it's off I get the alarms to work.

The reason is developers from NVidia. Good hardware but poor programmer skills.
This problem exists at eLocity A7, Toshiba AC100, Point of View Mobii and others devices on tegra 2.

I need Proxy as well. I know that the Galaxy tablet has a proxy setting under Wireless / Advanced, yet ours doesn't somehow. I've worked with Linux/Unix type systems for almost 20 years so I have a very good understanding of their system/subsystems and underlaying configurations. I am curious if the proxy setting/setup is just a quick config change somewhere, as I do not know entirely how the GUI builds it's specific options to present to the user (not sure if they are hard coded, or dynamic based on the configuration files at the system level). I'd love to hear from some DEV that knows more than I, and I might be able to hack something together to open up some other things.

Right, that sounds like many big companies... too many products too quick that would need a couple more moths of cooking in the oven ;-)
What would be really nice is if they would open the code to the comnunity so we could fill in the missing parts. Is there any precedent from NVidia doing that in this context (Android tablet/phone) anyone who may know a contact in there?

I guess first thing would be then to get out hands on a Galaxy Tab rootfs and see what differences it does have to ours... I'm new into the Android internals stuff but I assume that in theese cases as settings and other non-changing "Activities" as they call them, they are probably coded into xml files as UI descriptions... but all that is a wild guess (for now).
One test that I'll try is compiling the git repos kernel using the tegra2 defconfig and see how those modules interact with our device's kernel
Let's see if we get this thing done.
