Adding English Input Tools to Chinese XDA (Dopod): Possible?

[Cunning Man]

Hi all,

I just purchased a Dopod 696 (essentially the XDA II) here in China, and am wondering if I might be able to add the standard English input tools, including the word "suggesting" system, as additional input choices (the Chinese system does allow letter-by-letter entry via a softkeyboard, but doesn't suggest words, and also does not have Transcriber).

Thanks very much for any advice.

Best regards,

CM

Ha! I just had my second dopod stolen monday...
I was just in Hong Kong and bought an O2 (english edition), and now am annoyed that it doesn't have excellent chinese input/display like my dopod 696 did. Where are you located? I'm in Hangzhou.

Shanghai... I just replaced the ROM on my Dopod 696 with the O2 roms, so it's now all English. But now the Chinese entry for SMSs etc is poor (using CE-Star)... Sheesh. So I'm thinking of switching everything back to the original Chinese ROM, but if I do so I would like to still have the English word-suggester... wonder if it's possible.

Exactly! That's why I'd love to have the english O2 ROM and graft the chinese input subsystem from the dopod onto it. Not to mention the fabulous kingsoft dictionary. Perhaps we can cook something up. I expect you made a backup of the original dopod ROM image, yes? Let's figure it out!
