Has anyone got TodayPlus http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=843
up an running on the wizard. It is/was the best todayscreen plugin on my old Ipaq. I can get it to run as a stand alone app. but not to integrate as a plugin.

Hmm.. I reviving this threat after 'discovering' something called 'TodayPlus'. I did a google to it and it seems to be a very powerful program. From the looks of it, it seems to have the potential to cover both PocketBreeze and PocketPlus.. and yet it seems to be not often being discussed here. It seems to be able to do everything, by scripting (feels to be like the PPC version of Samurize.com)
I'm bound to give it a go this weekend.
Those who are interested, take a look at this MASSIVE forum just for this today plugin/application.
http://forums.jhollin1138.com/
French version http://www.todayplus.fr.tc/
You may able to download the software from the link above (post by `wizzzard`).
Note that, there are a lot of software named TodayPlus, which includes a Palm based software that tries to emulate PPC Today. So, it is rather confusing to do a google for it. Anyway, the 'head' of TodayPlus seems to be at this site
http://www.dark-mojo.com/
But it seems to be currently down.. interesting...
i got it working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=360201#360201
but i couldn't get it to update weather, rss,radar
attaching the program
Todayplus is/was the best plugin I found. It worked perfectly on my WM2003 Ipaq2210 and works on my WM5 Wizard. It was designed for WM2003 and does not support landscape correctly. There is no support available from the author but remains for me the most adaptable today screen plugin.
Don't work for me...
I got only a blank screen. Any suggestion?
Ciao
blank screen
i have given edited dll also in that archive.
Skip the steps for editing it and you have to follow these steps
phuntum (05-27-2005) - v0.11.0
On your PPC use a file explorer that will allow you to see extensions and hidden files to find the file “todayplus.dll” in \Program Files\TodayPlus and copy it to your PC. On your PPC turn off the TodayPlus plugin (uncheck in the Settings/Today screen), soft reset, and move “todayplus.dll” from \Program Files\TodayPlus to \My Documents. On your PC use a hexeditor to open the “todayplus.dll” and search for “7D 1E A0 E3 03 08 A0 E1”; replace “7D” with “8D”; save the edited “todayplus .dll” and copy it back to \Program Files\TodayPlus on your PPC. Delete” todayplus.dll” from \My Documents and reset your PPC. On your PPC turn on the TodayPlus plugin (check in the Settings/Today screen) and soft reset.
phuntum (05-28-2005) - v0.11.0
The above fix is permanent. Save the new todayplus.dll in a safe place so that if you have to reinstall (e.g., after a hard reset) all you need do is install, disable, and replace as per above. You might want to save the instructions just in case. Free hexeditors are abundantly available. Do a web search for one. It's a great program and the effort is worth it. When you're ready, surf over to http://www.jhollin1138.com for a goldmine of help. There is a great debate as to whether the fix should be shared--somewhat hypocritical in my estimation, since those who were lucky enough to get it before it disappeared are using it.
these are the directions from ppcfreewares i followed
after doing this go to this thread http://forums.jhollin1138.com/viewtopic.php?t=1292

I still need to reinstall this plugin after upgrading my ROM.
There are loads of diferent skins available my favourite is attached.
The Dark Mojo forum closed ages ago but discussions particularly on the "Hammerskin" skin are ongoing on http://forums.jhollin1138.com/
Hammerskin is awesome but it was too much of a resource hog last time I tried it.
Sorry for the double post
updates?
did u get weather and rss updated?
I have tried it twice on my Kjam. Used the modified dll provided. however, I can only see a white screen when trying to access the settings! :S Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Thanks
Ok, I found it! I was missing the .net!
Very nice application with beautifull skins! Only drawback is that it does not auto refresh when you add a new apointment or task!
Apart from that its a really nice application!
Arrgghh,
Reinstalled on my Wizard after upgrading to Molski's ROM. I can get it working as a plugin rather than as a stand alone program, which previously was my stumbling block. Now I can't get the config utility to remember my location or get weather and rss feeds updated. This did work on my old ROM. I think it is just some reg settings that need creating but why it worked before and not now I do not know.
Hi Guys,
Im a newbie to this plugin but so far I understand that its able to make short cuts on the "desktop" just like a normal pc....and thats what Im looking for.
Ive followed the instructions carefully and the first time it went okay....i.e I got the slider.txt in the skin box. However I didnt find the "okay" button on the top.
Well I followed the instructions but it didnt show up on my desktop....strange so I uninstalled.
Now Ive been reading a bit further and read that the reason why it might not have workd could be the date so I decided to set back the clock 2 years and reinstall it.
2nd time around I dont get the slider.txt option, it has saved my settings from my first install....and it still doesnt work.
help help help
Well after som struggle I managed to get the slider.txt into the "Select Skin (DLL)"
But its still not working on my today screen. I can choose it as the only item on the today screen however its just blank.
Is this because I use a special black screen (tsk file) for my back ground ?
Also its seems to forget my location (Lat/Long)
Any help so that I can get it working ??
Im using a Qtek 9100 with WM 5 OS 5.1.195 Build 14847.2.0.0
Oh I'm happy again
I finally got Todayplus running properly again. Weather and RSS are updating correctly.
This is what I did.
1 install Todayplus cab
2 Disable Todayplus from Settings/Today/items
3 Soft reset. Or power cycle the phone.
4 Overwrite todayplus.dll with the modded one
5 create directory \program files\todayplus\Buffer
6 Connect to internet and verify connection with PIE, minimise
7 Run todayplus config
6 Tab to Weather/RSS add new weather cities and rss feeds
7 Tab to Time/Storage add new timezone and set storage path to \Storage Card (case sensitive and device specific for Wizard?
8 Close Todayplus config
The config utility would not save my location coordinates on the owner info tab so I manually entered the values into HKCU\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus\coords\1 (string value of the form 53.483,-2.053) You can get your city coords from http://www.heavens-above.com/
9 Disable all other today screen plugins and enable todayplus. Close the settings program.
On returning to the today screen after a short wait Todayplus should be working. This worked for me but there is loads of information at http://forums.jhollin1138.com/viewtopic.php?t=1292 if you need further help.
Dear all,
I read the forum since some months now, and I thank you all for the awesome things I learned there, now I would like to know whether something I have in mind is achievable or not.
I own an Ubiquio 501, a very thin qwerty PDA (with touchscreen, wifi and all) which works very well. However:
-With the AKU 3.3 ROM (released around february) it suffered from very bad graphic/video performance, but everything else was working pretty well.
-With the last WM6 upgrade (released in august) the maker fixed the graphic issue, but for me the keyboard behavior is nothing but unacceptable. It seems like I am the only one having problems with the keyboard, however a downgrade (to AKU 3.3) fix the keyboard bit, so I guess the problem is not in the hardware.
What I would like to achieve is to put the keyboard drivers in the WM6 ROM, what do you think, is this feasible? I was able to unpack the ROMs with the kitchen tools, but am not sure of which module the actual keyboard driver is, the relevant files and dirs (find dump/ -iname "*key*") in the
AKU3.3 ROM :
Code:
./KeyBDState_service.dll
./KeyBDState_service.dll/KeyBDState_service.dll
./KeyIcon.dll
./KeyIcon.dll/KeyIcon.dll
./keypad.dll
./keypad.dll/keypad.dll
./keysifter.dll
./keysifter.dll/keysifter.dll
./devauthkey.dat
and in the WM6 ROM:
Code:
./KeyBDState_service.dll
./KeyBDState_service.dll/KeyBDState_service.dll
---> same file as in WM5 (md5sum match)
./KeyIcon.dll
./KeyIcon.dll/KeyIcon.dll
--> different
./keypad.dll
./keypad.dll/keypad.dll
-->different
./keysifter.dll
./keysifter.dll/keysifter.dll
--> different
./devauthkey.dat
-->same file as in WM5 (but I guess it doesn't have anything to do with the keyboard!
Should I look for other files? (I think so
Thank you all in advance!

I have had the 503g for a few weeks now and love it. If there is anything I can help you with please let me know.
Hi maevro, thanks for joining
I just found (using a task manager) that stopping the "key sifter" service yields to a complete stop of the hardware keyboard (only things that keep working are the keyboard backlight and some "special" buttons: the comm-manager activator, the mode switcher (alpha, num), the shift key).
However, overwriting the keysifter.dll file with the wm5 version I was only able to reach a non-working state (the service does not start automatically and will refuse to start manually).
So, keysifter.dll is definitely (one) culprit, but additional testing may be needed to see its dependencies (I guess) in order to replace it with a (better) working version.

Is the graphicproblem totally gone, so you can play games and watch movies without any problems?
Also, do you have any problems with network on this device?
Keep us updated if you find any solution to the keyboard-delay problem!
Thanks
Well, I kind of sorted it out. The solution ain't optimal, but at last I can write my sms & mails as I was used to.
After many tries and file swap between wm5 and wm6 rom dump, I stopped the keyBDState service and... kaboom, everything worked as expected Yes, it was _that_ simple
Please note that there are still some issues (shift + arrow keys does not highlight) but I made this mod a few days ago and have noted no instability whatsoever.
The only thing that ceased to work after the mod is that I can no longer compose phone numbers from today screen (but in the phone app everything works, so I am not that disappointed).
If you want to try it by yourself, I can only advice for a prior full backup, and can take no responsibility for whatever damage may occur to your data, phone, sim card... blah blah blah ...
So long for my first post, although I really would like to investigate the thing a little bit further (and get highlighting back as it was in wm5).
To answer uggugg, I only tried a (mandatory ) Zoolander sample and it worked well (re-encoded to fit screen size, 20 fps, don't remember the bitrate, should check) as for the games... I really ain't into gaming (not on my phone, at least) so I'm sorry I couldn't tell you anything.

nice!!! quite tired of the normal todays screens..too much cluttered plugins...
hope you could share with us soon very much interested to try out...
nice work keep it up =) hope it is also support VGA..coz many developers develop QVGA soft huhu
looks good, keep it up!
I'm begginer in programming. So dont promise a VGA version. I wrote it with Windows Mobile 6 SDK. I think it will work with 5.0 and 6.0 of coarse.
Actually I doing it for my personal using (QTek S200, WM6).
Will be glad if some one else will can to use it
hi MaxKysh, im a beginner too. Is possible to use grafic libs like XFlib in your project?
Don't know I use only API functions.
Please, try it
Here it is if somebody want to try Please report of your try.
Tested on QTEK S200 - works well.
Tested on Asusu p525 - don't work BlueTooth swith (will try to fix it).
WiFi switch don't realised yet.
Place into Program Files on your device.

I've got an normal htc elf p3450
And the program doesn't work correct, the background doesn't load therefore the transparant icons doesn't show.
I can enter the settings tab but i don't think any of the settings work.
I know you are a starting programmer (and i can't program anything so i have deep respect for you) but could you concider something like total customization
Greetz
Did you extract it to Program Files? (I meen Program Files\MaxHome\, and not to Storage Card (!)). Don't promise full customize but will work on it

hi, just tried it, unzipped to device/Program Files/Max Home
tried running MaxHome01b.exe and comes up with error:
"the file 'MaxHome01b' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file."
I clicked on accept when it said it wasnt signed...
Not working for Wizard
Date and time displayed correctly, the "Comm Manager" displays correctly but the Bluetooth button is the only one functioning, the rest do not have any effect.
Icons at the bottom do not work at all.
Anyhow, good idea, keep the good work!
Forget to say:
realized at this moment only:
- Clocks
- BlueToot, GSM, GRRS switch (WiFi - not yet)
- Balance Update
The bottom icons just for full view They are not working.
Please tell me, which Software to programm do you use??
Can you post the source code, so that we can help you to make a realy realy good home screen?
Thanks
This project is about rebuilding the touch.dll coude from the original dll assembly.
Latest package:
touch.cab
For adding the "developers certificate" ( read side node on update 21/11/08 ) you can use the following tool:
Microsoft Security Configuration Manager
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update 21/11/08:
Ive finally managed to rebuild the touch.dll from assembly and recompiled it and im able to boot the new touch.dll
Ive cleared some of the calls made to some old features implemented in the original file like the touch cube etc.
Be aware that this isnt for daily use and only for testing purposes. But I really need some input on speed and reliability because i cant test everything on my own ( i flash my device every 4 hours or so so not really long testing times ). If you are not affraid of hard resetting your device and are willing to participate in testing current work please do but dont keep me responsible for freezes etc
I have only tested it on udk R4 because its easy for me to test speed on manilla 2d and it gives me a good impression of daily usability. And because i removed almost all calls to the original cube code it wont be any good for cube lovers as and original HTC roms.
Keep in mind that all ive done now has been done during work in a few hours and although ive tried to be on the safe side i cant tell you all is working as its suppose to and I think i havent done more then remove about 20% of garbage out of it.
I know not all is as fast as its supposed to be but like i said im better safe then sorry and i dont wanna hardreset every 2 mins or so... Some good testing can be done in Manila2d like scrolling through images fast and scrolling through the bottom bar. Also ive noticed that scrolling through the normal "All programs" is still on the slow side ( still need to resolve a lot of scrolling issues... HTC has included a lot of codes for all sorts of winmo controls like listviews etc ) but if you open up the all programs in manila from the programs menu u will see what kind of speed it can work at minimum....
As for the priorities mentioned earlier in this thread im going to set both the priority256 and the priorityhigh256 at 109 ( original microsoft value that can be found at msdn ) in the cab file so we can test the touch interface as it was suppose to be set up... you can easily change these values as you like ( read earlier posts ). Setting it lower then 109 will give it an higher priority which will make the device suffer more from touch input... Setting it higher ( upto 255 ) will give the touch input less priority and will make rendering faster but can also come of the cost of reliability.
Side node:
Make sure your rom has the "Sample Privileged Developer" Certificate installed because i signed both the file as the cab with this certificate ( files need to be signed because of being system file and they dont get any trust at boot without a certificate ).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start 15/11/08:
Ok so because i didnt had much to do this week i started digging into the touch.dll to see if there can be some solutions to the slow scrolling/stuttering etc when touching the screen.
I already found out that the graphics stuttering mostly happens due to the fact that the touch.dll is set to real-time process priority.
WinMo uses priority values from 255 (low) to 0 (real-time).. Normally touch should be set at 109 ( according to msdn ), but because htc put so much garbage in it ( touchflo related ) and it got slow as #@% they put the priority to 0 as a default and deleted the registry entries
Using IDA i found out that those registry values are still being accessed but since they are not there the default of 0 is used.
Just create the following key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Touch
And create the following values in it
Name value (DWORD)
Priority256 255
HighPriority256 255
This will not speed up the actual scrolling but it will also not make the device freeze when pressing the screen... So scrolling seems more natural. ( especially in programs folder and file explorer )
So this is not a fix but a good start for now.
Already found out a few things looking at the code that can be dropped out so im going to try to rebuild the touch.dll from asm without most time expensive calls ( hopefully shrike will help me out on this one ).
Let me be the first to say thank you. I am not sure I did the things right, but my Polaris seems more alive than ever. I will post an exported regkey, please confirm that I've done it correctlly.
I have noticed an improvement in sliding in S2U2 and on everything that involves touching the screen. This indeed is a great step forward for Polaris.
Thanks for trying... As soon as development will progress ill create a cab file which will include the registry keys.
Big difference... great job,
I've noticed though that in icontact, when you scroll contacts, the animation has to finish so that it can accept new gesture, so i set it to 109, scrolling is still good and icontact work propertly..
Great find Rogro! Was irritating me how the graphic stutters whenever I scroll in programs and phonebook..
Just wondering though, if it was such a simple fix, why did they remove the reg key to begin with? as far as i can see, the impact on the processor speed seems really minimal..
I look forward to more of your discoveries..
Nice job! Performance is much better... but in the all programs list the icons all still flashing when scrolling, although its much less.
Thank you
Great job in all programme speed seems little better.
nice
thanx
Hey Rog,
Nice to see you're trying different things.
I looked at my HD but it didn't have the slowdown the Polaris has. But it also doesn't have the registry keys... so i added them and soft reset. Now, my HD's TFLO3D is really unresponsive and stutters... So maybe it's only for non-TF3D devices?
Thank's
It's working well in my M-Amine 2.0 Final Rom.
Here is the little Cab.
EDIT: If you install this cab or change the register by hand (Is the same) , the scrolling work well but maybe you will have problems with Igo, TomTom or destinator.
Please take that in your mind.
Thanks a lot Rogro!! It's wonderful for every application that uses touch scrolling.
Why do HTC engineers leave us alone with those awful bugs? Is it so difficult to add those 2 DWORD values?
Actually it fixes the screen response AND the All Programs scrolling in Manilla 2D
thanks for sharing rogro82.
cheers
Thanks rogro82.
It's working
BTW i've notice something,,maybe wrong.
When you scroll (very fast) in file explorer or program folder, stoping it(the scrolling) with a sigle tap it's not so easy. Or when you tap to stoping it ,then turning to another direction(up or down).
Also the icontact scrolling isn't good enough.
I use the "cbolumar" cab.

Thats because the scrolling is still way off in terms of speed... the only thing that happens when you change the registry settings is that it will not allow touch.dll to eat all resources and hang all other processes..
Maybe you could try to set it to 109 ( what it should be on a normal driver )..
I never use any gestures or whatever so setting it to 255 works for me for now until i can start cleaning code.
TomTom7 with these settings
Nice find. But in Tomtom7 something strange happens. I have to press the screen much harder then without these reg keys. I Use M-Amine's RTM rom.
Anyone else have this or is it just me having this bug?

Bug with IGO 8
The same for me , i have a lot of problems with the screen in Igo , the problem disappear after delete the register changes.
To delete this, you must go to the register and delete the new values by hand, not the touch entry but the priority entries.
Only uninstalling the cab is not valid because the driver is in use.
Thanks a lot!
It's like early Christmas!
It´s because of people like you that my Polaris is an increasingly awesome machine. Continuing like this in the near future it will teleport me from one place to the other!
Keep up the good work.

ROM M-Amine 2.0 Final ITA
THIS THREAD WILL NOT BE UPDATED ANYMORE, FOR NEWS CHECK HERE
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...

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 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!

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.

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.
