HTC Menu Enhancement-Chinese Support and English

As I am a Chinese and use 0404 rom for my winmo 6.0, HTC menu enhancement cannot support Chinese characters. The error is as follows:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=235830&stc=1&d=1255149049

Therefore I start a project to display Chinese characters on the menu.
The cab i adjusted is from
HTC MENUS 1.0
VGA: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=60620
QVGA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540922
HTC MENUS 1.1
VGA:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3443009&postcount=2
QVGA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540922

And the menu should be confirmed to wake up by HTC MENU ENHANCEMENT LOADER from francarl (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1415587)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540922
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE LOADER AND INSTALL .CAB FIRST IN ORDER TO USE THE MENU!

This menu should support Chinese and English for Chinese rom at the same time.:rolleyes:
I adjust the TFF that used to be tahoma.tff. This tff is already in the rom.

RAM comsumption:
For QVGA/WQVGA: 0.3~0.6MB
For VGA/WQVGA: 0.5~1 MB

Bug(s) known:
-The menu may not wake at the first time. Please wake again if the menu fails.
-There is a click by the ppc when the menu closes. (I don't know how to edit it. It would be good if someone gives me the cab without this problem.)

To do:
-Install HTC bootlauncher.exe with HTCMenuLoader-BootLauncher.v1.1.cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=209779&d=1248771963) if loading time can be reduced or not.
-Make the file path to pop up the menu too.

But it requires .net compact framework 3.5
For most cases, HTC machine doesn't require the booster.

感謝大大為使用繁體中文的人所做的付出~

[TheRem]

just use Arial Unicode MS (arialuni.ttf) font and all the boxes will disappear and you will see the Chinese characters. ;)

but it's a 22MB font file.

So, i am going to create my own .ttf
I will do the .ttf later :)



Sorry i am wrong
i do not realize other .exe require the ttf.
i mix up my mind =(

[pp18]

no need to create a .ttf. try adding a font link (from the font used by the menu enhancer to a Chinese font on your device)

Usung the font .ttf is a good thing to have a good and beautiful display.
However not everyone would like to install a 22MB file to the phone.

But I find out that the loading time of the menu is related to the HTC_MENUS.bmp size. So it is better for qvga machine to use the qvga one as the HTC_MENUS required is with a small size i.e. 100kb/

[kaiser_tytnii]

As I am a Chinese and use 0404 rom for my winmo 6.0, HTC menu enhancement cannot support Chinese characters. The error is as follows:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=235830&stc=1&d=1255149049

Therefore I start a project to display Chinese characters on the menu.
The cab i adjusted is from dharvey4651 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=483667) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491457

And the menu should be confirmed to wake up by HTC MENU ENHANCEMENT LOADER from francarl (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1415587)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540922
PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE LOADER AND INSTALL .CAB FIRST IN ORDER TO USE THE MENU!

This menu should support Chinese and English for Chinese rom at the same time.:rolleyes:
I adjust the TFF that used to be DroidSansFallback.tff. This tff is already in the Chinese rom. It is the "新細明體" in Chinese.
I just test the vga version only.Please test the cabs with the right resoultion.:D

RAM comsumption:
For QVGA/WQVGA: 0.3~0.6MB
FOR VGA/WQVGA: 0.5~1 MB

Bug(s) known:
-The menu wakes after 2 seconds on fexplore.exe, which is late. It is simply because .bmp used is big and it requires time to load .tff. (It is hard to rewrite the .bmp with same resolution to decrease the size of .bmp). I RECOMMEND the QVGA machines use the menu as the time for loading is smaller.
-There is a click by the ppc when the menu closes. (I don't know how to edit it. It would be good if someone gives me the cab without this problem.) Now the problem does not exist in emulator.
- "My documents" and English display badly.:(

To do:
- Investigate the menu booster if the time required to wake the menu can be shorten or not. (The time required depends on now large the HTC_MENUS.bmp is), it is hard to reduce the size of the .bmp
- Add .cab that menu without arrow (VGA/WVGA only) from http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=60620.
I tried the cab, but there is still arrow on the menu.
- Support winmo 6.5 by adjusting the cab (VGA/ WVGA only)
HTC Rhodium 6.5 Menu Enhancement.cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=224292&d=1252093990) from dharvey4651 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=483667) It seems that the cab made for winmo 6.5 will be without arrow.
All the cabs from dharvey4651 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=483667) are not workable. Therefore, i cannot adjust it.

6.5 menu is released. Enjoy!

I think the character block problem is due to the font htcmenu uses, which doesn't include Chinese characters.

Simply, in regestry, just change the current font used in htc menu (or other programs have the issue) to microsoft Yahei or any fonts that you've installed to support Chinese. Then do a reset, and the problem will be fixed!:cool:

This is how I fix this issue:D no need to install additional cabs:)
