Default Chinese Characters on TMobile Dash

Hi everyone,

I have in my possession an unlocked TMobile Dash which I'm trying to get some use out of in Shanghai, CN. I can't get it to display any Chinese characters except in ClearVue applications and internet explorer (so no SMS, menus, network warning messages, etc.)

I once had hopes of flashing the dopod ROM, but obviously I didn't act quickly enough.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

Default You can try to install the CE-STAR.

It's the great software for you.

I had heard that CE-Star works well on the Dash for Chinese. I personally am using the Dash in Japanese (SMS, e-mail, Web, not menus, though).

~Cheers~

Default display japanese characters? (kana, kanji, asian font)

Hi,
has anybody succeeded in getting Japanese characters to display? Especially in email, web (opera mobile), dictionary (MDictSP).

I've searched the forums a bit:

There are lots of free solutions for PocketPC edition (or palm os) on the web, but next to nothing for Smartphone.

I'll keep you up to date if I manage to get anything working (haven't experimented yet).

Default Incoming call screen font size

Is there any way to increase the font size of the calling number and name on the incoming call screen? This is for the Rogers WM6 ROM. I've looked through the registry but couldn't find an entry for this.

I did change the system font to "large" in the accessibility settings, and while it changed other screens, it had no effect on this one.

Any help is appreciated.

If you can find out how to change the colors to white that'll be great too. Sesinger, do you know how to change the colors of the home screen test to black? I've got some pictures I want to use as wallpaper that are too light for the white text. Thanks
