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...
Is it possible to do with HTC S740 notouch model?
HTC: http://www.htc.com/europe/product/s740/overview.html

And also Softbank SMS/MMS
if some one can provide me the steps since I am newbei...
Thanks in advance

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.
I have an unlocked Rogers Magic running on AT&T. I have not rooted the phone, thus I am running the default software/firmware.
The phone and default image work great, with one exception. According to tools like useragent.org, my browser UAString is coded to "en-ca" (vs. what I would like it to be: "en-us"). This causes some sites to redirect to Canadian content (e.g. snapfish.com redirects to snapfish.ca), and it is driving me nuts.
I'm aware of the "about:debug" trick for faking other (but, not the above referenced portion of the string) aspects the reported User Agent. Further, I'm aware that I could download an alternate browser like Steel.
The default image and browser would be just fine for me if I could simply change what amounts to 2 characters in the User Agent string. Any ideas on the least invasive (i.e. vs rooting, new images.. etc. etc.) way of doing this? THX!
Have you tried going to settings - locale & text - Select locale and changing the language to English (United States)?

sorry my reply won't help since my knowledge of android is still infantile. my rogers unit (to run an att usa) is due tomorow and hacking won't begin until surfing the device stock for a few days before "rooting" and rom swaps.
question: how branded is your interface experience? from startup screen and through the dailer, is rogers prominent?

Branding is minimal ... Based on research, I understand that to get rid of the splash on boot, you will need to root etc etc... For me, it's nbd because it is very rare that I turn the phone completely off and on again ... There are a few Rogers 'apps' (really simple URL links) that you can't remove (again w/o rooting etc etc), but I just don't include them on my desktop
Any ideas on my User Agent issue?
The disadvantages of the original Rogers ROM are adding-up:
1) Canadian user Agent
2) No Voice Search (Ugh! this one of the things I flet made a Keyboard-less phone more tolerable)
3) No ability to see/edit Custom words for type-ahead (usually found under Menu - Settings - Locale & text - User dictionary)
Assuming Rogers ever fixes any of these and send in over the air updates... will I get those using and unlocked phone on AT&T?
Any love out there on my questions? THX!
So, I bought my Nexus 7 because it was conveniently launched around the time I was looking for a good portable computing device for some college classes. For the most part, it has been working great. But, one of my classes is Ancient Greek, and the Nexus 7 does not come supporting the unicode characters necessary to read the web-based textbook in Chrome (it has the core Greek alphabet, but not the accented characters).
One other app that I was using was AnkiDroid. I discovered I could load custom fonts in AnkiDroid, but they are only used when displaying flash cards (in other words the app's normal UI screens still rely on system fonts). So, I was still stuck not being able to see the characters I need even in an app that had some customization of fonts.
So, I started toying around with the fonts in /system/fonts. It turns out this is a bad idea. Renaming the original fonts and symlinking them all to a unicode font resulted in my device not being able to get past the boot-up logo. Fortunately I was able to use CWM Recovery to fix things back up (in case anyone else gets stuck in this mess, use the CWM touch options to mount /system and then use "adb shell" to go in and manually put everything back. If you deleted any original fonts you may have difficulty fixing it without a wipe/reflash)
Does anyone have a good way to get Unicode font support on a Nexus 7?
BUMP. Has anybody got any clue why this device cannot show some of the more arcane characters in a Unicode typeface? My Nexus 7 is missing certain characters with diacritics (in Pali), rendering it useless for study support. Macs and PCs that I have worked on have no problems doing this.
AW: Incomplete Unicode Fonts
I searched for 'Pali font' in Google Play and found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anysoftkeyboard.languagepack.pali. The description has a link that shows how to install suitable fonts.
An advance...

Elmicha, thank you.
I had downloaded the Pali ASK but no keyboard was visible - I only today discover that it was only the font set that I had downloaded(!) and so quickly got the keyboard!
I notice that, while you have kindly pointed me to a link, you don't indicate that you actually use this. Do you? If so could you - or anybody! - confirm whether you do or don't still miss certain diacritics, esp. the dotted n' - I only get a '~n' on a long press. I have installed a suitable font ('fallback') using the Font Installer app. (I hope) and restarted thereafter which gave me the ~n.
Sorry, no, I don't know any Indian languages (apart from English). But maybe somebody else can test it.
I'd like to change the locale of my nexus 4 to France but still have it running in English. Is there absolutely no way to do this?
By locale you mean what specifically? If you can give an example of what you are trying to achieve.
Sent from my Nexus 4
I'll give you a small example:
The locale is set according to your device language.
In google now you can only use voice search for your phone's language. If it's in english you can only use english voice commands, if its in french you can only use french voice commands.
The voice commands language is selected by your locale, some people would like to have their phone in english but to be able to use voice commands in their own native language.
The OP wants to know if theres a way to separate the two.
There was a program MoreLocale2, that could do such things. I was using Ukraine(English) locale. That gave my proper date/time formats and English interface language. Unfortunately that program is incompatible with 4.2+. Since then I looking for substitute.
That said, you can set Google Now voice commands language independent from system locale. There is 'Voice' option in Now's settings.
I just set Language to English and keyboard to Danish (switchable to English). Maybe this also forces me to use English date formats etc, but I'm ok with that.
So this won't work anymore? Any alternatives I could find?
Hi
i am new to all of this nintendo switch thing so please be easy on me with your explanation
i live in China for now, and just bought myself a switch just to enjoy a little and play some exclusive.
the problem is that i didnt know that the switch in china is a special one that is operated by tencent.
anyway my question is
can i change the language in my switch? maybe install a new OS?change some REG files?
i dont care loosing multiplayer game abilities or online store (im more of old school cartridge lover)
please if somebody can help me i will be more than happy
some donations will be included too to the helper
i just want to be able to read and understand my games and console ^^
If you could run Switchroot, that`d be language independent.
As for Horizon OS: Probably outta luck
(Aside from maaaaaybe using an EmuMMC... But that is unclear)
If that model of switch is capable of going into RCM, you can try sending a payload to see if it boots. If it does you can follow this guide to hack it and use Atmosphere instead of HorizonOS
https://switch.homebrew.guide/
Chinese Switch player here to answer.
In fact, only new players will buy Tencent Switch, most of experienced Chinese players prefer importing one from Japan or Hong Kong - and I'm the one using Switch imported from Hong Kong.
Therefore, you have two choices:
- Sell the bare console itself (known as single tablet 单平板 in China), and buy another bare console that claimed to be Hong Kong variant or Japanese variant on Taobao Flea Market (Xianyu 闲鱼). These two aren't language selection locked. If you have cartridges ended with CHN, sell them as well, as cartridges ended with CHN are region locked to Tencent Switch.
- All of Tencent Switch are based on revised Mariko based SoC, so RCM method is definitely unusable. However, the mod chip is usable, but can be risky and not recommended.
Joy-Con and other accessories aren't region locked, and they're still under 1-year warranty guarantee from Tencent. If you prefer the first choice, all existing accessories can be kept. To help you search, here're keywords you can use:
switch 港版 单平板 续航
(Switch Hong Kong variant bare console long battery life)
switch 日版 单平板 续航
(Switch Japanese variant bare console long battery life)
Nintendo Switches with longer battery life are based on revised Mariko based SoC. If you don't mind, you can remove the keyword "续航".

it's not that easy on a Tencent Switch. on GBA temp this is explained but you need an Rcm switch or a modchip.
hi, i want to buy a tencent switch, but there isn’t a chinese id step, how can i pass it since i’m not from china?
