Japanese/Chinese Input?

renochew · 01-07-2011, 04:34 AM

I read this forum for a while now and you guys successfully convinced me to actually taking the trouble of ordering an NC (outside US). I just receive this baby and loving it. This is my first post here looking for help...

I know that I have a very little chance of receiving any positive feedback, but did any of you successfully installing any Asian language keyboard input for your nook color? It would be perfect if I could input Chinese and Japanese since I want to read and write both language...

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't have the direct answer but I think it's possible.

1. After rooting, I got a bunch of language dictionaries from the android market, incl.
cidian dictionary. You'll have to input in pinyin.

2. haven't tried this: http://robrohan.com/2010/05/01/chine...-1-htc-desire/

but see if it works on the rooted nc.

Hi, thanks for the reply, well, i tried 4 to 5 different type of IME apps now, even I successfully make them appear in the keyboard selection list of the nook tools and activate them, the interface do appear when I click the text box, when I click the input button, the interface disappear immediately without inputing any words. All ime apps I tried have the same symptoms. So, it seems it is the NC itself that make the IMEs can not be run appropriately..

Hi Snowman, thanks for the reply, actually, I did install slideit successfully before I try other IME, using the same installation method (namely, copy apk to sys/app -> install -> change permission). But it didn't work. But I haven't try rename the latinIME (I didn't need to do so to get slideitto work). I will take a shot.

Exactly which file I need to rename?

To give more information above the IME I tried, I have installed OpenWnn and Kaede IME (For Japanese input), CedIME (for Chinese Input), all of them can be activated through the nookcolor tool, but the interface disappear when I click any button on it.

PS: 是的.

I tried that but unfortunately it seems it didn't work (except slideit).

Yes, lets try together.

I'm using root explorer RE if it helps
1 mkt place to get google pinyin ime
2 install from notification
3 RE copy from /data/app the google apk
4 RE back back ... navigate to system/app due
5 RE R/O mode
6 RE paste
7 RE long press on the just pasted string i.e. the google ime apk
to install
8 reboot
9 nookcolor tools to pick the new keyboard or just long press in any application text input (gives u a choice of keyboard)

snowman55 · 01-09-2011, 11:53 AM

Hello. I have the same exact issues as the OP... any IME/Keyboard I install for japanese I can get to show up on my nook color's list of keyboards to choose... then when I select a text field it pops up. BUT then the second I try to type something the keyboard disappears.

I have tried every app or ime availible and was wondering if you got it working. I did get google's Pinyin to work fine.. but I don't know any chinese :/
