PinYin Input

[Guest silfer]

Hi!

I just rooted my asian hero with a goldcard and installed modaco's custom rom. Everything is fine but i realised that pinyin input is gone. Is there a way to add it back? Can we have pinyin input in the next modaco rom update?

Did you install the Chinese version?

Yep, but i only see handwriting, zhuyin and cangjie for chinese input options. Is there anything that i missed?

You tried the Google pinyin IME from the market?

mmm i installed it but i dont know how to use it for my keyboard, i tried restarting but it still doesnt show on the "select chinese input" option

EDIT: ok i got it to work, you had to tap and hold the text box to change the IME. There are actually a lot of hidden options and stuff in the android that isnt properly documented. discovering smth new everyday!

I had a stock Hero purchased in Hong Kong that had HTC IME with Pinyin and it is a lot better than the Google Pinyin IME. Any chance you can get that .so? I had to use the goldcard method of rooting and do not have a copy of the original ROM, so I can't help.

search for HTC CIME, you'll get the stock PinYin package. you may need to use ADB to push the files to your phone.
