Dear all,
Does anyone know how to make Window Media Player recognize Chinese Characters. I have tons of Chinese songs and none of the titles can be read.
Thanks in advance
I have the same question too.
On the other hand, Ken, do u have solution to display chinese in WM5 (not WMP10 and PIE). I have installed a chinese pack for 2003 on the WM5, it is OK to display chinese filename but makes mess on showing Date and Time even on Today screen. And, as I know, CE star has been verified not to work on WM5.
Any suggested solution.
Knife Chinese is working generally but not for WMP and PIE still. Monster Chinese SIP is ok for Chinese text input.
Thanks Chris. I will try those.
Hi, Chris,
Knife seems not to be able to install on WM5. I have tried several times, but failed. What is the version you could install?
Hi, Chris,

Knife chinese ->
www.gismosoft.com
v 3.20
Monster Chinese is a famous software. You should be able to find it. Can only install SIP, not the core system of monster chinese.
Make sure that they are install on the device, not storage card.
See the pictures.

I can't fine the v3.20 at the website. Could u give a link?
finally, I have found knife v3.2 & v3.7. but whichever I installed, it failed.
Oh, I got a version 3.7 on www.penpower.com.hk, it's ok. Together with Monster Chinese SIP, it can display and input chinese on WM5 now. But there is still mess display in PIE and Email.
Thanks for buddies!

hi, i am japanese in china and i used try to make WM5 to chinese/japane machin, but as you know, the important file of wince.nls in windows folder, cant replace to another one. this wince.nls can make encode china and japane. Monster chinese/Cinese Star/Knifes also replace this.
(actuary, it can replaced, but cant effect)
But the old version of wince.nls cant efect in WM5.0. we have to wait chinese/japanese WM5 SDK to get wince.nls.
without effective this, no way to IE/e-mail
(in the inbox,UTF-8 can use for chinese.but not all the time)
So many encoding Softwares such like you tried, cant install or cant encode to chinese complietly.
following a my site to dicribe chinese/japanese input and encode on WM5

Can CEstar work on WM2005?? I don't think so.
Between, I have already downloaded MonsterSIP 4.02 and knief V3.7. But after I installed, it don't seem to work. I still see ???? for received chinese sms. I can sent chinese sms out.
Any idea what happen?
Thanks

Re-CE Star or any other chinese plat form softrware.
PLS see my post up above! dont work, just SIP can work.

this can see the pictures of SIP working on my WM5
Instead of Knife Chinese system, you could just install a Chinese Pack (I tried to upload to FTP but failed). With that, Chinese can be displayed but still mess in Pocket IE, Word and Email. That may only be solved by an updated Wince.nls captured from a chinese version WM5 device in future.

i agree that, i tried many versions of wince.nls, ppc2002/2003/wince.net, also i edited previous wince.nls by binary editor and hexeditor, but still no use. just wait for becomming one!
Simple chinese/Japanes e-mail in inbox, can be displayed if it was sent with encode of UTF-8(sorry no test for Traditional Chinese)
You can see the captureed screen.
http://asukal.seesaa.net/article/3006810.html
also tried to edit registry for encoding, the "encoding to Japanese" in pIE can be seen, but no work.
just Date display of Today Screen, i got it by editing registry.
My be cant display following registry correctly in this site,
please see the capture screen at

@Chinese readers having trouble with sentence-wrapping,
solution 1. Modify the registry as below:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls] "SystemCID" = "1028"
By modifying the value, you will get rid of sentence-wrapping problem.
However, this modification will partly interfere, or as I said earlier "uglify" the system fonts.
Thumbnail 1 V.S. Thumbnail 2 (Today before/after)
solution 2. Install "Chinese Wrapping":
Simply installing this cab, you can enjoy chinese sentences wrapped correctly while keep the system fonts intact^^"
Thumbnail 3 V.S. Thumbnail 4 (PIE after/before)
How to:
1. download Chinese Wrapping cab (economically 9k)
2. install
3. soft-reset
4. enjoy
Note: devices with non-warez-Ce-star can do wrapping correctly, no need to install this cab.

iiiox, another problem now.
When Reg item about nls(System LCD) be changed back to english language setting, it's no more possible to list out my contacts with any chinese character in "Contact".
For examlpe, with System LCD "trick" we can list out all contacts which content "大“ when we put "大" in Contact search field. With this "webvwrap.dll" "trick", we can't do that anymore.

No problem's here^^" (see the thumbnail)
Is it possible that your namelist looks like this:
-----------------------------
ex., Da-pan大胖 or Da-ye,大葉
-----------------------------
If it is this case, your "english" system (ex., SystemCID 1033) will has difficulty to find a single chinese word from a string of words WITHOUT A SPACE IN BETWEEN.
On the other hand, if your contacts look like this:
-----------------------------
ex., Da-pan 大胖 or Da-ye, 大葉
-----------------------------
You'll find the tartgets by typing 大 alone, or 大胖 for Da-pan, 大葉 for Da-ye respectively
The third example is:
-----------------------------
ex., Da-pan 大 胖 or Da-ye, 大 葉
-----------------------------
Typing 大、胖、葉 will lead you to find either 大胖 or 大葉 or other contacts with any of the three words
This is the way M$ deals with our need in multi-language. So nice a multi-trillion corss-national M$ can be...-_-
Thank you, iiiox, for your patience.
Let me take your example. With Reg "trcik", we can list all contacts which have "葉" in names, such as "大葉“，”小葉“ or ”中葉“.
But with "webvwrap.dll" "trick", we can't.

Sure, you find very Chinese character with your SystemCID setting to "1028", which is one of Chinese regions along with the wince.nls.
However, "1033" is for U.S.A and that's why I said that all M$ can do for the need of multi-language....
Good news is rumors are going that WM7 is coming around 2009. Let's wait and see what M$ will have done for us^^"
Bad new is that there is still NO solution for the issue (setting 1033 and searching Chinese characters correctly with the built-in Contacts). To write a new dll might help, but it's absolutely beyond my limited knowledge....
Neither setting 1028 nor activating webvwrap.dll satisfies all Chinese users' requests. The only solution is, let's face the music now, to flash a Chinese rom for all you need^^"

You are absolutly right.
May I ask for another help?
There isn't big difference between WWE Rom and CHS Rom. Attractive for me, WWE Rom has engllish word suggestion by input because I sometimes write some english.
Do you have any "trick" to add/activate english word suggestion in CHS WM6?
Thank you, iiiox.

I am not quite sure about this, for it's been a long time I've not used a CHT/CHS rom.
But I think that's possible if not alrealy a reality.
If you are of interest in it, you might like to copy compine.dll from an english rom to your chs rom, and add the registry as below to see how it goes^^"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409] Note: e0010409 is for WM native english keyboard. The value should be modified accordingly when you install an english IM later for typing english with suggestion, if it should work at [email protected][email protected]
"Ime File"="\\windows\\compime.dll"
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
And then, try to install any English IM. I am not sure if it works, but it's always worth for a go!
Note: CHS keyboard will be interfered byWM native english keyboard, which is not recommended, since both of them share a lot of files.
Thank you, iiiox!
I'll try your "trick" next time when I flash a CHS Rom.

Not really
Found the solution for the application unlock here : http://www.mobilejaw.com/articles/2009/01/removing-the-application-lock-on-htc-s740-smartphone/
But that doesn't solve the problem when installing the Gregory_HTCHomeN.cab installation. Still getting an installation error (translated from dutch: Installation unsuccesfull, program can't be installed or a setting can't be processed because of not the correct systemauthorisation is available)

I think both do the same thing - I couldn't remember the registry settings when I needed to do it, so went the easy way.
Does the homescreen need any separate plugins - smartmonitor for example?
The Greogry_HTCHomeN.cab is a standalone plugin, is doesn't need anythinh else.
It seems to be running on the "vox" an those type of Smartphones with WM6.0 and WM6.1 Standard Editions.
Can't find a specific reason why it will not run on my (dutch) htc-s740.
can you post the cab file on here - I'll take a look.

Hope there is al solution..
Hi. I think its because of the totally new concept of the homescreen on the WM 6.1 standard edition devices. Its different to the WM 6 edition. In my opinion, any today plugin from a WM 6 device will not run on a WM 6.1 device.
P.S. why dont you like the original homescreen HTC plugin delivered with the Rose. I think, its great and has everything from your Gregory plugin. If you like to configure the plugin on the rose, use the homescreen configurator CHome http://smartphonenutsandbolts.wordpress.com/2008/05/17/chome-configurator-for-wm-61/ Works very well on my Rose.
The gregory_htchome doesn't seem to run on my dutch S740.
Too bad, but i just doesn't work. Don't know why.
Switch back to the Standard HTC Home pugin, and play a little more with the home screen configurator.
Thanks..
it works ! it is just a little tricky . i have refresh my notebook and must mod the plugin again, ok!
tomorrow i´ll upload it for you in this thread
Where is the up ?
sorry, i have forgotten !
install the cab and restart , then sda-app-unlock and finally file-explorer over active-sync and putt the contend of the windows/htc in to the main windows folder ... to overwrite the original one. finish
I also have a problem installing the normal HTC Home plugin on my Dutch S740 phone. I'm a newbie so please be gentle.
It gives an error when I want to install a random version of the HTC Home Plugin. Something that the installation file isn't suitable for my device. Where can I download the correct version of the HTC Home Plugin for my dutch version?
do you work with the htc-home-plugin or the gregory-home-plugin ?
Aaah. we meet gain
Well I'm now working with the Gregory version you supplied and it seems to work... I'm getting better at this .
Now I have to see how to tweak this plugin. Well I will continue my search...
have fun ! there is something to mod , on this plugin!

Only thing not working is the WeatherApp ?
I saw a \windows\htc folder with 2 different files, should those be copied to the \windows folder ? The \htc Files are older than the original ones.
yes yes i know that ! they are much older, but there is no way out , these are very diverent versions of the weather-app , the original for the chome and the gregory for home plugin. you have to backup the original (if you want) and overwrite the files to get an working weather on gregorys-htc-home

Please help me everyone handsome man has an idea,, tks a lot
mmm,
Only can allow you to read Chinese characters, can not write characters. For that you need Monster Chinese or similar application.
Just copy the "Sunglobe.ttf" font file to the "\Windows" directory on Atom Life.
Then you have to do a Registry edit as follows:
In your registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ add a new key call FontLink. Then, under this newly added FontLink key add another key call SystemLink. Example, you should now have the following in your registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink
4. Now add the following 4 "String" values to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink
Value Name: Times New Roman
Value Data: \Windows\sunglobe.ttf,Unisun
Value Name: Arial
Value Data: \Windows\sunglobe.ttf,Unisun
Value Name: Courier New
Value Data: \Windows\sunglobe.ttf,Unisun
Value Name: Tahoma
Value Data: \Windows\sunglobe.ttf,Unisun
5. Do a soft reset and you are done.
Dear Angusc,
I tried your method, but after soft reset, the fontlink key with all the values simply disappeared. the sunglobe.ttf file is still in the windows folder though.
Pls help
Install this CAB file in order to read Chinese. (Other versions of this cab, using other Chinese font sets, can be found on ricky119's homepage.) It works for traditional and simplified, but the emphasis is on simplified.
In order to enter Chinese, find yourself a good Chinese SIP. I recommend ZTA4 2.8, or maybe DayHand's PlumSIP (点讯梅花输入法).

Sorry for late reply, been away from home.
I never had any problem with the registry hack method, it has worked for me in WM5, WM6 and now WM6.5. Can only suggest that your registry editor might not have saved the changes?

The problem is probably that TF3D uses a couple of non-standard fonts that haven't been linked to the Chinese ones. Please have a look in your \Windows\Fonts directory and tell me what files you have there.

I used Ricky's package and I can both display and input Chinese, except one application - UCWeb browser. It does not display Chinese characters at all, including the menus. This is the same across multiple devices:
- HD2 Artimus v22 WWE ROM
- HTC Fuze TAEL ROM
- iPaq 4700 wm6.1 ROM
Does anyone know why UCWeb browser has a problem and if there is a fix for it? Thx.

Thanks for this.
I was using CE-Star for the fonts, but that stopped working with the later versions of the 6.5.3 series ROMs.
Found an excellent solution at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700311 Worked on HTC HD, The fonts should work on any WM device and the IME's seem to be more portable than one might think.
Now using Font = Arphic CHS (Chinese Simplified)
IME = IME CHT LEO HKCW V3 (Although CHS not included in name it does work with Simplified) Excellent.
Much better all around.
hello masters of wimo, special greetings to ultramag.
i have new question, and i am sorry if i did not found topic about this issue, but i would like to know.
i was user of symbian, and for symbian i was able to pick what languages to flash to rom, but on htc i do not have that option.
wasnt checking wince files, but i assume all rom files should load language from external file.
and, allso, i saw one awsome 6.5 rom on spanish...too bad i dont understand that language.
oh, yes, i have croatian keyboard and z and y are exchanged with standard roms, is there any way to fix this ???
what to change in rom file??
i have required tools for cooking.
best regards
wook
oh, btw, i have hermes and wimo6.5 pro by josh (first one from hist thread) (test one).
allso, registr will not work... :S at least hkcu/keyboard layout/preload/1
tried at least german, nut it will not work....
regards
solved with RevRom7.
now german keyboard fits perfect hehehehe
only, i miss symbols in inputs.
but i have new issue.
i made new bootloader splash image, created nb, put it in nbh and flashed my phone, but after that,
about 20% of screen (bottom part where letters are) was white, and rest was ok.
is it because image was too large? or ???
best regards
