Japanese input on WWE rom

Well, just to start things off I will mention that this bunch-o-tweaks runs on both WWE roms and the only Japanese rom on this board: the X04HT rom that qtotter was so generous in dumping upon us .
To get JP input running on WWE rom WITHOUT that tacky keyboard garbage:
Install the following:
1. Diamond TF3D Config
2. LetsJapanNo6.cab
3. IME_31J_F.cab
4. SpbKeyboard4.arm.cab
In any order you choose. SpbKeyboard4.arm.cab is the nice find I made tonight.
So the order is not terribly important but it is how I did it. The TF3D config is always installed anyways.
So after installed TF3D and LetsJapan, reboot the device. You will see that your Japanese contacts in the contacts screen and any other Japanese you have on your device will change from random boxes to actual characters. The point of having TF3D config installed is so that at this point you can change the TF3D display to Japanese and set the date settings for TF3D to display the correct Japanese date: yyyy年MM月DD日 .
Next, install IME_31J_F.cab. This will install the crappy xvga soft keyboard etc. Everytime I see this I feel sick. It's not so bad with the X01HT or Tytn or maybe even the touch pro, because there is a hardware keyboard. I like the idea of typing with my finger and not with my stylus; that's why I got a diamond.
Next install spbkeyboard.arm.cab. This cab basically updates the gui for the ime_31j_f keyboard and integrates the old ctrl-shift-shift-ctrl into a simple button.
I don't know if anyone wants to take it from here. By "take it from here" I mean, figure out some way to combine the files from letsjapan, with ime31j and have the input as spbkeyboard so that this entire process can be somewhat streamlined.
I found the spbkeyboard on a Japanese site so I would assume it will work with a Japanese ROM. I am going to flash my diamond right now with qtotter's ROM and give it a go.
I just wish that ROM was more streamlined. I am surprised no Japanese have cooked any versions of the Softbank ROM yet. I can't find one anywhere
RAR file with all 4 cabs inside can be found HERE

Diamond TF3D shouldn't be required, but of course it's a nice config tool to have. The two required components are LetsJapanNo6 and IME_31J_F (along with some reg edits), all of which have been rolled up into a single easy-to-install cab file by flinx1 over here:

SpbKeyboard4 is an optional keyboard which can utilize Japanese input provided by MSIME. There are many other soft keyboards. Softbank also has a nice custom 12-key input which some people are currently working on extracting into a CAB file.

That is the "Advanced Wnn" that all japanese HTC Diamond phones (not only the softbank one) have as default (replacing the T9).
You could also use the gesture10key theme for the touchkeysip.

In order to use this you need to set up the gesture10key_w.txt as the theme.

The spbkeyboard works as standalone on the JP rom. Just go into options and enable JP.
edit:
So I have been using this spbkeyboard with my JP rom but I have come to the conclusion that it sucks balls for entering JP. So I will use the pretty decent 10key for JP input and the spbkeyboard for EN input. My reasoning:
The spbkeyboard seems to be limiting the number of possible kanji options for a certain word. It also lacks the ability to enter katakana directly (unless I am missing something). It also lacks the ability to enter a symbol while keeping the dotted line under the word to help you select the correct katakana or marks, IE:
マーク
郵便番号
For mark (above), it allows you to enter ま then when you press the SYMbol button, the dotted line under ま disappears. So you are unable to turn まーく into マーク. You could do it character by character but that just takes too freaking long.
For 〒 mark, you typically enter 郵便番号　and then press space to get 〒. There is no option for the mark. In the 10key, you can enter the symbol screen (different than that of the spbkeyboard symbol screen) and enter the 〒.
Ok, enough of my ramblings.

I installed spbkeyboard and couldn't find any jp support? Also asked spb and they said no?

A4 input method

I am running windows mobile 6.1 in a HTC device, Topaz Diamond 2
In settings > input method I see listed 6 inputs methods: Block Recognizer, Touch Input, A4<chinese char>, Transcriber, etc.
The chinese input method often comes out as a default choice, even if I deselect it and select Touch Input as my preferred one.
Basically I do not need A4 input method, as I am not chinese speaker: how to erase it permanently? How to remove this A4 input method completely?
Is it embedded in ROM (it comes pre-installed) and therefore I cannot delete?
Of course A4 input method does NOT appear in the list of installed programs (in fact no programs appear, as I have just done a hard reset)
I put my question here, since I believe this issue is a general purpose one, not related to ROM development. I apologize if this is the wrong forum
Thanks

more details
for completeness: I am running wm 61 on HTC Topaz. The room seems to be:
wwe 1.40.707 04/20/09
Waiting for your suggestions on how to permanently remove this A4 input method.

I'd say just hide it by (G4 Input Hide)
so u won't see it on the selection menu anymore
It's a PITA to remove input method....

Chinese input

Anyone know how can I use chinese input in hero? any methods? install new firmware? install app? anyone can help? thx many many much

The system supports Chinese language by itself, so what you need is just the input method application.
You can find the Google Chinese Input from the market (and if you do a search in the forum you can find another one from HTC)
After installing it, you also need to make sure it is selected on in Setting -> Locale & text
To switch input method, press and hold any input area (for example, the address bar in browser), then you will find 'Select Input Method' as a menu item.

Input Panel in fullscreen apps / Hold Button to open Input Panel

Hello all!
I really need your help, searched through this and other sources for 2 days now without any solution.
I usually set <Input Panel> to a hardware button on my devices,
so i can open the software keyboard (sip) inside fullscreen applications.
On my diamond i did this setting:
Button 1 (Hold) -> Input Panel.
For example in java fullscreen applications, like TibiaME,
i usually open the input panel by holding the "green" button.
Using this method, i was able to type inside java apps/games/midlets.
This worked perfectly on my HTC Prophet and on some ROMs on Touch Diamond.
But since i flashed my preferred ROM (BsB 6.5.1G), the software keyboard directly
closes again, if i open it inside some fullscreen applications.
For example, if i run a fullscreen java game on jbed, or Resco Snake,
the keyboard shows up like expected if i long-press the call button,
but directly disappears again.
The java apps also resize if i try to open the software keyboard,
leaving a gap where the keyboard should be, showing the application in the background (usually my homescreen).
The keyboard shows up, but directly closes again.
I never expierenced that problem before.
In some other applications, that problem doesnt appear.
For example in teeter the keyboard shows up and
stays in position like it should.
If anyone out there has an idea or a small hint,
it would be very nice if you could post your thoughts here.
Also, if you could test that behaviour on your device and post your
result here could be very helpful.
Im really stuck at this point and flashing another ROM
is not an option for me at the moment.
I already asked for that inside the ROMs thread,
but since it appeared on another ROM too, its not only ROM-related.
ROM-Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533&page=687
Edit:
For java midlets, i now use the following workaround:
-JBlend for "windowed" midlets, windows-bars visible, any SIP working.
(TibiaME update from 1.7 to current version fails, maybe someone could proof that?)
-Esmertec Jbed 20090506.2.1 for midlets that don´t need a SIP, like Final Fantasy.
For me, only swype works in fullscreen-mode.
-JRebeiro_Esmertec_Jbed_-_Build_20071119.3.1 for online games that need SIP and fullscreen-mode.
Any SIP working in fullscreen mode. Build is outdated, but allows SIP to stay in foreground.
I´m still looking for volunteers to check this on different devices / ROMs.
Still no solution for windows native applications and latest JBed builds.
Thank you very much for any help!
Best regards,
xumx

[Q] Input to online Dictionary

In the last couple of days, I am unable to use the online dictionaries. Trying to interface from FBreader or by manually inputting a word for look up. Free Dictionary will not recognize that a word has been entered. Fora tells me that there are "no results for the word input. ColorDict also says it can't find the word. The test word is "work". Other internet input apps (e.g., google search) work fine. This suggests to me that there is a difference in the way data entered into the seacch box on these apps are different.
I suspect I tweaked once too often. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the dictionary apps with the same result which suggests the problem is on the phone.
If anybody has any ideas, I'd love some help.
