due to popular demand (my own really, hehe) and sanction from the man himself, here is a new thread dedicated specifically to Asukal's MUI projects for the Hermes, specifically the japanese X01HT. this is a spin-off of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284765 .
below, i've made a cliff-notes of sorts, with links to the various MUI related files within the original thread. the original files remain on that thread for the time being.

i'll try to keep this post up-to-date and either transfer the files or direct links to the files to this post, but for now, continue to refer back to that thread for nitty-gritty details. hope you all find this useful!
If I get some time in the next few weeks (50% chance), I will see if I can repackage some of Asukal's original CAB files to avoid requiring post-installation patches and to reduce the number of separate cab files (which would also reduce memory space required).
....if Asukal is OK with this...
Could you repack LetsJapanNo5 & IME31J_QVGA together?
Also, anybody have problems with MMSLite on WM6 ROMs?
PLS DONT INSTAL or USE on Xo1H <Toshiba Device>
this is not compatible for Toshiba or any other device with WM6.

hi, of curse i say OK you to repack as your want
(but i dont know SB&MS Axis power will say OK )
i think only one cab "Welcom_Darkside_R6.zip" was included
all patches, but cabs for securities,
and you can extract canbs with CAB manager (trial version is enough)
http://www.ocpsoftware.com
Good luck!
does this work with WM6? It would be great to have an English interface for the Japanese Rom I installed. It would just be much easier than following the guide to installing Jap. keyboard, language, mail, softbank settings, etc etc for the English version of WM6.
Asukal,
I tried Lets Japan with english WM6,
succesfully installed and working.
There is only one issue that I found after
installing Lets Japan on WM6, I can't sync my
Windows Live account via wifi anymore.
But after I remove Lets Japan,
my Windows Live can then sync again via
wifi.
The error stated that I don't have
access plan from my provider.
Wherein I think windows live can use
both data and wifi connection, or whichever
is available.
Is it because of the localization or are there
any reg mod needed to make it work and
have my windows live sync via wifi ?
Does anyone in here also encountered this issue.
Thanks
well, i never did relay back my experience with the english MUI setup, but i was able to successfully install it. actually, at first, darkside6 didn't work for me immediately after installing the cab. rather, what i had to do (as one post in the previous thread tipped me off) was to find the extracted individual cabs in the temporary files folder and install them separately. after that and a soft reset, things seemed to be installed fine. most menus were changed to english (with the exception of the menus in the Softbank mail program and some drop-down menus, and shortcuts in settings).
one thing i wasn't sure about though- well, actually two. first, for the clock. i changed it so it shows a 12 hour clock instead of a 24 hour clock... but there is no AM or PM following the time? is that how it displays on native english roms? second, i've heard some people say that to get rid of the english menus and revert back to japanese, you have to do a hard reset. does this mean that it's safe to uninstall the programs listed in the installed programs list related to the MUI? i'm not a fan of hardresetting, and would like to avoid screwing up my quite functional setup if it's not necessary. but if its just taking up unnecessary space...

possiblity, 1st deleat Paring device when yors were English Lacation,
and try to sync after Japanese Location(not sure)
also i hard similar bug, and he could fix that with registry tweak.
(no exactly information what registry was tweaked)
Hello Asukal! I come to you again for help!
There are two things that I still have problems with while making English ROM Japanese friendly:
1º)I have Japanese I/O enabled, with "Roma/Kana" SIP by default (via SIP change of Sheult). But when I open a program, always "hiragana" write is default one, and I need to change to "romanji" (normal English input); but no I idea how to do it (><)
That isn't put "Keyboard" SIP for english input; it's Japanese input, but romanji by default. I hope I explain myself.
2º)[less important] Is there any way to make Pocket IE to work with Yahoo! Keitai (brose the Web pages of Yahoo! Keitai)
Thanks!
PD: After read this thread, I have two small questions (really less important; just curious):
a)LetsJapanNo6.zip: New CAB for make Softbank Hermes from JP to English without flash I suppose, no?
a1)Want does exactly do the Treo version?
b)You translate Softbank mail app to English, but only works in original ROMs because of certificates?
And the last one ... Any advance in MMS after MMS Lite? Last times I only checked WM6 Forum, and I think I lose many news form this forum.
Really thanks for all!!

Hello!
Two things:
-About IME, I know what you told me. What I asked you is different. It's have the Roma/Kana option by default (or any that let you know Japanese, instead of "Keyboard"). But you know it have 5 options (Hiragana, 2 Katakana and 2 Romanjis). By default is always Hiragana. I want to change to Romanji.
-About "@Lets Japan No6 ", thah makes your device a Japanese one (fonts+japanese imput), of a softbank one?
Bye!

Asukal, I really love you!! I was asking for this many many times, and nobody know it!! (^-^)
There is more thing to make my WM6 perfect, and also one question that maybe you can help me
-I tries many times to make Pockect IE to work with Yahoo! Keitai of softbank but not way. Maybe you know how to do it.
-For MMS, I have MMSLite. I hace flat rate of softbank (1man yen). I'm not sure if MMS Lite use standar Softbank connect, or use any that mabe will charge more money to me (more than that 10.000 yen guari)
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the situation: I am one of these sorry Softbank users who have to resort to all sort of tricks to get their TyTn working in English using the Softback network. I flashed a WWE ROM and have now all services, including MMS properly working. Naturally the WWE ROM does not include Japanese fonts, and whenever you receive an e-mail in Japanese or want to browse a Japanese website you see only gibberish.
I tried to solve the problem with installing Askul's "LetsJapanNo5" cab that comes with Japanese fonts.
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/6912738.html
It works for IE and e-mail, but unfortunately this cab is somewhat mixing up with tje English fonts: Suddenly certain WM 5.0 parts are displayed in Japanese as well, such as the "calendar" function in "Today", and there is suddenly an annoying mixture between English WM 5 fonts and Japanese fonts.
I then tried "CE-Star for WM5" advertised as "the first and only true Chinese/Japanese enabler software suite for Windows Mobile 5.0 based Smartphone."
http://microsoft.handango.com/Platf...&productType=2&platformId=11&productId=193804
After installing it, the same happens like with Askul's Japan cab. Japanese fonts become available for IE and e-mails, but again certain WM functions, like the "Calendar" in "Today" are displayed in Japanese and cannot be changed to English, also there is an annoying mixture between English and Chinese/Japanese fonts. I can only warn to use "CE-Star" from Mobem, because you cannot de-install it, and I had to hard-reset to get rid of the *****.
Any idea how to get Japanese/Asian fonts working? So that they can be selected for IE browsing like in Windows XP without messing up the entire WM installation?

unarchive the lzh file and you will get the font file meiryo.ttc. just copy that into your \windows folder and make the registry changes as follows.

there are four fonts Arial/Courier New/Tahoma/Times New Roman in this. change the font link of these all four to \Windows\meiryo.ttc,Meiryo and that's it.
btw, i use ce-star v28 and it works fine for me although it does have some glitches as you mentioned. it does have the uninstall capability though. it should be too late for you now but you can unistall it by Start->Programs->CE-Star->Uninstall.

Thanks a lot. I could smell already that I have to change some registry settings as well, not just copying the font into the Windows folder. Interesting that with ce-star. Do you also get "Date/Time" and the "Calendar" in Japanese?

Harry, thanks again. I have done all this, but no success, I can neither select a Japanese font for IE (in the option menue) nor can I read Japanese e-mail. It actually did not change anything. I of course made a soft re-set after changing the registry. Do I miss something?
hehehe, I found a way how to do it:
The new font has actually to be installed into Windows/fonts/
as described here here:

I can now open and read Japanese websites, but still Japanese e-mail comes in "blocks".

Thanks for that. That seems to be a very detailed description. My Japanese is not good enough, but I will ask the GF.
Locales and Date/Time settings
From my understanding of Asian languages on PPCs (only 2003SE, but I assume WM5 will be similar), the actual installation of the fonts as descibed allows Japanese to be displayed. The settings for Today (in fact, all regionalised date/time settings), are set in Regional Settings [Start -> Settings -> System -> Regional Settings]. If, after you've installed the Japanese enabler, such as CE Star, you'll probably notice that Japanese has been set in Regional Settings. If you change this back to English [and your appropriate locale, eg. English (Australia)], then, after a soft reset, date/time/Today settings should be in English again.
Note that these settings also affect the ability to restore from a backup using ActiveSync. The device to which a backup file is to be restored must first have the same locale set (in Regional Settings, or the registry) as that recorded in the backup file at the time of the backup.
This is set in the registry at HKLM\nls\DefaultLCID
-> For example, 0x404 (1028) is for Chinese (Taiwan)
It's also set in HKLM\nls\overrides\LCID
This may have changed in WM5.
Note that there are other settings in there which allow manual setting of Date/Time settings. For example, in HKLM\nls\overrides\SLDte, the System Long Date format can be set. I have manually set this to "dddd yyyy'年'MM'月'dd'日'". Instead of changing the Locale, you may instead manually set your date settings here.

note that it's not that easy to install this and you need to read this page qtotter mentioned in the later post for not having side effect problems. if you just install it, you'll be screwed.

that's bizarre. i have it installed in the \windows folder and not in the \windows\fonts.
you also need to check your regional settings (start->settings->system->regional settings) and change Region to Japan when you want the full japanese display capability, but this requires changing the nls. just adding a japanese font is not good enough. the only way to install the japanese nls file is either installing ce-star or Asukal's cab. you can change the date and time formats to english even japan is set for the region.

It's also set in HKLM\nls\overrides\LCID
This may have changed in WM5.
Note that there are other settings in there which allow manual setting of Date/Time settings. For example, in HKLM\nls\overrides\SLDte, the System Long Date format can be set. I have manually set this to "dddd yyyy'?'MM'?'dd'?'". Instead of changing the Locale, you may instead manually set your date settings here.

thanks for the follow-up. what you explained is all true and they are the same with wm5.

that's bizarre. i have it installed in the \windows folder and not in the \windows\fonts.
you also need to check your regional settings (start->settings->system->regional settings) and change Region to Japan when you want the full japanese display capability, but this requires changing the nls. just adding a japanese font is not good enough. the only way to install the japanese nls file is either installing ce-star or Asukal's cab. you can change the date and time formats to english even japan is set for the region.

It's definitely in the "fonts" folder, as described in the "how to" I linked. It works for IE browsing, but not for e-mails.
I can't set in "regional settings" to Japan, because such setting does not exist in my WM 5.0 installation (WWE ROM 1.35).
I give CE Star now a second try.

well, burning a rom is NOT like installing an os as win xp... you do not choose the default region/language when you burn a rom. it just "burns" something like a fixed disk image onto the flash memory.
you can change settings including region/language on os, which means you do the same every time you do hard reset.

you can't set it to japan as you don't have the nls you need. if you are giving ce-star another try, i recommend that you turn off everything other than japanese in the options for installation if you don't need any chinese. when that is successful, you will have japan for the regional settings option.
True Type Fonts for the PPC are the same as for Windows machinese - any *.ttf file should work. It shouldn't matter where the physical font file is located, but settings in the registry will dictate whether the font works on the PPC system or not (both in terms of [a] System Fonts for Today, and Application displays, and availability of fonts to applicaions such as Pocket Word).
Firstly, download a font file (*.ttf) that contains your Japanese glyphs, and put it on your PPC (eg. in the \Windows folder, or elsewhere, such as \Storage\Fonts). Secondly, use a program such as InFont (http://www.insoftwarehouse.com/download/infont/xe.php?l=en), or FontOnStorage (http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=726) to set up your fonts to be loaded when the device starts.
Then, using a program such as TillanoSoft PocketTweak (http://tillanosoft.com/ce/ptweak.html) - (see the Fonts tab), set the System Fonts (there are three of them - System Font, MenuBar font and Pop-Up font - this may be different on WM5) to a font that contains the glyphs you require - in your case, Japanese.
Note that this can all be done without an nls file for Japanese, or any other language for that matter, and avoids the use of CE Star, or the Japanese CAB (but does require other tools such as the Font Manager, or FontOnStorate).
This approach will also avoid any issues with English regional settings, such as Date Time formats, and phone number formats, from being changed.

Thanks again.
I re-stalled CEStar, got the fonts, and now also the regional settings (for Asian countries). I re-set to US, the Chinese characters disappeared in the "Calender", and everything is now working. I can open Japanese websites and e-mails.

Hi CBS, thanks a lot. Although I have it now working with CEStar, I will give this a try later as well.
Hi everyone I have started a new thread for English WWE ROM. If you are like me and own a Chinese Dopod U1000 device, and wish to use it in English, then I have authored a CAB. It is virtually 99% there (I think) I have tested it quite thoroughly, (there is an Uninstall if you wish to go back to Chinese.) The install is based on the Dopod WWE ROM (RUU_Athena_DOPODASIA_WWE_1.24.707.3_104_6275_1.32.00.10_108_Ship)
However as the ROM on the Taiwan device is newer, the CAB only enables the English language. Ok unfortunately you will need to do a hard reset first and then run through the extended ROM setup. Once the vendor automated builds have finished, run my CAB. The install will prompt for a reboot (in chinese, just select the option on the bottom left.) Once rebooted the unit should start up in English; now set your region and install all your apps. Please use this thread for Bug reports etc. Also credit goes to Dutty (And his set of Tools) and also Asukal, and also wu5262 and ahmadfarid for testing.
My congratulation.

I did as follows:
- hard reset
- reset again before loading the ext Dutch ROM
- installed the English Dopod U1000 WWE Language ROM CAB, copied before to a Microdrive
- reset
- got an error; " The file VCDaemon cannot be opened. .... reinstall or restore the file"
- install the WWE extROM, copied before to a Microdrive.
Checking how it works now.

Ok guess is that the ameo does not ship with Cybrion Voice commander. You can fix this by navigating to Windows\startup and deleting VCDaemon shortcut....

Also have it working with T-Mobile Ameo Dutch with the same issues reported above. I have removed the "non existent" program shortcuts and uninstalled the voice commander application because it is not translated at all to english. Will work on the registry values to correct the positions of the tray icons vrs program links. A few programs need to be renamed and then no-one would know this used to be a Dutch ROM
Thank you guys for this wonderful job.

Now lets see to unfinished business.
On my ex-Nederlands version, the tray applets are out of alignment. This is how I fixed it. Will find time tomorrow to "unhide" some of the icons.
Go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\TrayApplet\...........
You will see the keys (folders) named 2 to 9. Re-name them by reducing the numerical values by 1, so 2 becomes 1 3 => 2, 4 => 3 etc. until 9 renamed 8.
Currently SIM Acess Manager is not responding, and the Backlight.exe control icon is hiding. That will be sorted out later in the day by mapping the correct paths.

If you have Tweaks2k2, there is a setting to unhide the block recognizer.
That failing, your right it is just a reg hack. Perhaps someone else here will know what to change, as I don't.
Tweaks2k2
I have tweaks2k2 and i have tried that one but the page where i should be able to chek the box to show block recognizer is greyed out (disabled).
I thougt that tweaks wasnt up to date to fix x7500.
So mabey i should send a mail to tweaks...
Thanks
Magnus
Thats strange. I have it shown and selected under keyboard tricks. I just tested it and the block recognizer works.
I'm using v3.26.0.0 on the English language Advantage, so I can confirm this arrangement works. Oh, thats right, you said you had the swedish version. I wonder why the registry would be different in that respect? I'm sorry I couldn't help out more.
clsid is missing
Hi and thanks mysticbluebmw
I think they have removed the clsid from the registry in the swedish version so i think that is the problem.
Anychance you can check the clsid in yours and look what keys that are in it.
Then i can try to recreate them and see if it shows up in the siplist.
If possible i want the blockrecognizer.
I know that if you have a phone bought from dangaard you can download the fix from their site. In sweden the site is www.smartmobile.se

according to microsoft, the handwriting recognition is only available on WM5 in certain languages.
English
French
German
Spanish
Italian
Brazilian Portuguese
There are of course others for the asain languages, like CHT, CHS, Japanese and Korean, but other than that, you are best looking for a third party solution like penreader.
The block recognizer is availible in swedish.
I just need to get the regfix to make it visible again.
I have done the same with a Qtek9100 before.
Not sure if the same fix will work because i cant find it again
I let you all know if i make it work.

Oh, I looked through HKCR/CLSID, and found this entry which I exported for you to take a look at (renamed .reg to .txt)
If that does't help, I don't know if your problem may be of a similar nature, but some fellows had some hard times switching between inputs quickly. This solution worked wonders for them. They guessed it might have have gotten rid of the permissions. If you don't want to try it, thats cool, I just thought, it couldn't hurt.
1. Export HKCR\CLSID (will save to a *.reg file)
2. Del or Rename HKCR\CLSID
3. Import the backup of HKCR\CLSID
Turn off your device about 15 sec and reset .
OR.......
- renaming the CLSID to something else (say CLSIDbak)
- save the changes
- turn it off for 10 seconds
- rename it back to CLSID
- save the changes
- turn it off for 10 seconds
Good Luck!!!
Thanks
It's getting closer now...
Now I have it in the list but I cant select it
So ill keep working on it.
Cya
Thanks a lot i have it up and running now.
I did use your reg-file but i hade to change 2 things in it.
I needed to change DefaultIcon to "msimsw.dll,0"
and also InprocServer32 to "msimsw.dll"
So i guess if you have other languages that dont have Block Recognizer take a look on your keybord and se what defaultvalue the InprocServer32 has and use that for the Block Recognizer (that you get from the txt file we got from mysticbluebmw).
So once again Thanks a log...

Block recognizer in POLISH WM5
Hello Guys,
I have the same problem - I cannot see the Block Recognizer on the list, I have imported they posted REG key, now I have on the list but I can not select it.
The problem is that in the Windows directory there is no msim.dll nor msimsw.dll
I have other Ameo that I can copy it from but I am unable to copy or rename or duplicate - it allways give me the error mesage. Anyone of You know where can I get msim.dll from??
Solved
Sometimes I have to look twice in the directory..... There is of course msimPL.dll in the Windows dir. Just modify the reg file posted few posts earlier to msimpl.dll in two places, import, softreset and ... it WORKS

I came to the conclusion that the arabic rom doesnt work unless you change the whole interface into arabic, and there is no working english with arabic support cab.
solution for your problem
Hey guys,
I had the same problem with my HD2, and here is the solution to your problem:
download and install mobidiv arabizer 454, this is the latest version, and it works on most if not all ROMs. After you install it, half of your phone will be in arabic, and half in english as you've mentioned. to Fix that, go to your start menu on your phone, and go into arabware app. Under the control tab, select English with arabic enabled (control tab might sh.ow like this ????? before you do this step) but anyway, it is the second tab from the right. Do this and restart your phone. This should take care of everything except for the date. Go into the arabware app again, and under country tab, select english US, hit ok and restart again and you'll be all sit.
these 2 steps have to be done separately.
The only issue you MIGHT have with some ROMs after you do this, is reading/typing arabic text msgs or emails. This is not because mobidiv does not work, this will be because your ROM does not have arabic font in it. To get this fixed please do the following which I'll explain briefly and you can email me if you need more details:
go to the fonts folder on your PC, found under c:/ >> windows >> fonts.
copy the font Calibri and the fot Tahoma (I think thats what its called) and make a cab file for each one. Copy them onto the external memory on ur windows mobile phone, and install... and Arabic will work perfect.
This might seem like a long process but its pretty easy.
Good luck, and sorry for the super late reply Im not here very often,
I hope you guys get to see this

How do you make a .cab file.
Or is it possible that you can upload a ready made .cab file with these fonts as i am totally clueless of how to do this.
thank you.
Come on guys, It's just arabic !
Flash a fresh ROM (to get rid of Half/half thing & backward letters) and then Download and install those cabs from here :

Sorry i dont usually post questions unless ive exausted all other options and im usually pretty good at following direction and making things work.
Now ive already done all that before posting my question, i got the phone to have the arabic program which turned the phone to arabic until i switched it back to english with arabic enabled and country to us.
Now i can read arabic on my phone on some programs but sms are squares (already had the sms fix installed last). Also, when previewing my emails i see squares but when i open the email i can see the arabic. so im guessing my phone is missing system fonts that why i asked for them.
Ive managed to make it work before with another rom pretty easily, im using chucky rom and i read somewhere that if all previous downloads didnt work its probably the rom is missing the fonts.
any help is much appreciated i really like the chucky rom and would like to continue using it.
Dear all,
As I write I have a Lenovo ET960 sitting on my desk, which is lying there for the last 2 weeks as I am unable to figure out how to change its menu language from Chinese to English. My uncle who was never able to use it gave it to me after all these years. It has WM2003SE (I think!), although I am sure the experts here will know all about it. I am very keen on fixing this issue, the trouble is I am novice in this area.
I have done some background research, but I still need some help from all you guys here. I have the the following requests.
1) I understand that there is no way to change the language of this phone as the OS is hard-coded in the Chinese ROM. One way is to hack this Chinese ROM and change it to English using a HEX-editor. An alternate way would be to use a third-party software to change the language, however I could not find one for WM2003. Once I hack the ROM and make the necessary changes, I should, in principle be able to install an upgrade to WM2003 (which I also do not have with me!).
To hack the Chinese ROM in ET960 and solve this issue I would need to know two things:
(a) Where to locate the ROM in this pocket PC using my desktop PC (via a USB cable connection)?
(b) I need a reference ET960 ROM (ET980 ROM may also work!) in English to compare the values to change accordingly.
(c) Finally, an upgrade to WM2003/WM2003SE (the firmware upgrade d/l link) and the upgrade method.
Now the trouble is I have never flashed a ROM before, so I need to know the steps. In addition I would also need to know the steps to the upgrade process.
I have managed to download the following softwares/tools which I think will help in the process, but I dont want to start the process until I get some feedback from you guys here.
(1)The lenovo.zip file _ftp: / / ftp.roverbook.com / RoverPC /Lenovo_ET960/
and the (2) ET960update.exe from gsmforum.ru, which can be used as an update tool for both Lenevo ET960 and ET980. I have also managed to download the upgrade instructions, but only in Chinese!. This is where my research ends. Now I request you guys to help me with the missing links to convert my ppc into English.
Thanks,
Jay
This Thai review (use Google Chrome and translate it to English) states the following:
Languages: Support English, Simplified Chinese, Tranditional Chinese Input but can not display Traditional Chinese character.
The screenshots also show the phone is using English. It might be as simple as changing the system language in your MUI settings (in the registry: HKLM>MUI and change SysLang to 1033 Dec/0409 Hex...HKCU>MUI and change CurLang to 1033 Dec/0409 Hex).
Hi rete, Thanks for the reply. I have never edited the registry in a pda. Is there a special tool that I have to use for editing the registry? The ET960 I have with me has a interface similar to this _http:/ / video.pomoho.com/ent/762870.
As everything is in Chinese, I am unable to make head or tail of anything. Please guide me if possible. Cheers, Jay
I am getting back to my ET960 issue after a gap. I really want to make this device (which has a great design) usable, for which I will need to convert the user interface to English.
Rete, I made the registry changes you suggested but nothing changed. So I will need to to find an alternate solution.
The ET960 has WM2003SE (ROM version: S603 051229 which is not WWE). It displays all the system folders as well as some of the installed applications UIs in English. But most of it is in Chinese.
I installed an English localization software (Paragon Inc, LEng for WM6) which translated my ET960s interface completely to English. But, the ActiveSync stopped working and the system folders could not be accessed after the installation of LEng. This tells me that if I can replace the *.mui files from CHS to ENG in the ROM, I will get an English interface.
But the trouble is that I am new to all this and do not know where to start. So I request for some guidance.
The other option to make the device usable is to boot Android from a microSD card, but I could not find an Android version anywhere from my ET960 (which has similar hardware to MDA compact & Yakumo Omikron). Please advice.
