I have a Win Mobile Phone Edition 5, very first one in U.S. :D

I tried to load chinese so that I can read chinese. I copy over font file and am able to see Chinese in Word, providing that I select options.

However I got issues with IE, because I there is no option for me to change the encoding.

I learned that I need to change wince.nls file. And I downloaded your file. Now I got an issue "Access Denied" message when I try to override original wince.nls. Looks like it was in ROM.

Any idea?

Thanks

you should use another file explorer other than the system's one, and then you can overwrite it
the tool is in the attachment(it's in chinese language), it's a green software :)

Thanks for your prompt response and the program. :)

maybe i did not use it right, some how the menu of the program is mess up. see the attached.

I have Resco Explorer 2005, which also show wince.nls is in rom. Every time I change the other attributes, it changes back when I re-open property page.

While I have a pocket PC 2003 Dell x3. The wince.nls is not rom file.

Can I override rom file?

It is about mid night here in U.S. I will check back first thing in the morning, just in case you do not get response from me right away. :D

Again, thanks for your help.

on wm2003 it was possible to "override" files in ROM.
Now it is not.

You have to wait until we'll be able to decompress the ROM and inject your wince.nls into ROM.

ok, i've downloaded your chinese.rar to test-it ...

i've replaced the wince.nls with this procedure

in \windows\ , i've renamed wince.nls to wince5.nls
got an error message "Can't delete wince.nls" , but it's renamed
Copy the new wince.nls to \windows\

Copy fonts to \windows\fonts\

import reg file ... modified

soft-reset

...

Anything appears ...

i'm not able to choose chinese in regional settings

In the registry , after soft-resest , nls automaticly set to "0409"

if i set to 0804 and soft-reset , poof .... 0409

I think there is another problem

One another thing I noticed: through ActiveSync, I can create a folder in windows, (well, as you expect). But I can't copy the wince.nls file to even the newly created folder, not just windows folder. On my PC, the message saying... no space or no permission, etc. I do have like 3-4mb left in main storage and install other program.

Just for your infomation.

[buzz_lightyear]

it is easily possible to copy wince.nls to your \Windows folder. Just create a cab for it.
But it is not taken into system... That;s the problem here...

Will look at it further...

I'm success to copy it in my himalaya. I had tried several method, one of them is o.k. but not sure is this one or not.

1) copy the wince.nls to somewhere in your SD Card.

2) Boot your Himalaya into Safe Mode.

3) Then copy the wince.nls to your Himalaya's \windows\

4) Soft Reset.

Do you mean that you can choose the Chinese region now?

I had tried to replace wince.nls in WM2K5_160C_WWE in various ways mentioned in xda-dev forum. none of them could be finished this job.

so i had to refresh my rom to 1.60b, everything is OK now. I can override the wince.nls, import *.reg, set regional to PRChina and so on.

[ljw666]

expecting a perfect WM2K5_160C supproting Simple Chinese.

Hi buzz:
I have got a SD image from a Himalaya which rom is CHS version, it's backup from a friend of mine. He got it from the seviece center. but when i use this image to flash my himalya, i replaced the SD head, write it to my SD card and flash...finished, hard reset, and I got an error like this:

"Device authentication failure. Please contact the product manufacture. For reference, please provide your device ID.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"


Then I found a way to convert the SD image to a .nbf file for the xda-developers site. converted and flashed using the PC through cable, but the same "Device authentication failure..." error occucred again.

And then, I asked my friend flash the SD image to his device which the image came from. succeeded
!
Any way to make the rom work for my device? help pls...
