One of the things that stop me to try Windows Mobile 6.5.X custom ROM is lacking of Chinese language support. Most of the custom ROMs out there don’t have it. Only a few of them have it. Without it, you will see lot of block shape on those Chinese characters. Finally, I found a solution to enable traditional and simplified Chinese on HTC HD2 Cookie Energy WWE ROM.
There are several “All-in-One” solutions from xda-developers ~ LEO_TC_HKCW_Fonts_IME_w_Global_Region, LEO_TC_HKCW_Fonts_IME_Only and LEO_Mingliu_IME_NLS_SSung. Tried all of them. Found out only MingLiu font can support Microsoft PowerPoint. AR HeiU20 Medium (gray) font and Arphic Crystal font do not support it. In the end, I installed the custom solution that matches my need as I don’t need to use Samsung IME.
HTC Ezinput IME V4 supports ZhuYin, PinYin, CangJie, Stroke and Handwriting with HK Common Word. And it integrated LEO08843-02 ~ improve HTC HD2 Handwriting Stability and LEO07879 ~ addition Hong Kong Common word.
If you are using WWE custom ROM like Energy ROM Series 23569, Duttys Leo HG V3.9 23569, CleanEX HyperRom v11.5, ChuckyROM-23123-Tabtastic with SFX, CleanEX OzROM V3.40 WM6.5 21905, Artemis v21.5 Level A WWE and TOUCH X-TREME 2 Build 2.0.00.01 23569 and wanted to type or read Chinese, this is the solution for you…

You are in handwriting mode. You can change to other Chinese input like PinYin.
I do not know how to do that or see it anywhere, can you step by step show me. And another thing this is a new HTC hD2 (t-mobile) it is not install with these yet, Energy ROM Series 23569, Duttys Leo HG V3.9 23569, CleanEX HyperRom v11.5, ChuckyROM-23123-Tabtastic with SFX, CleanEX OzROM V3.40 WM6.5 21905, Artemis v21.5 Level A WWE and TOUCH X-TREME 2 Build 2.0.00.01 23569.

Not sure it works on stock ROM or not. To change input setting, click on the keyboard on center bottom.
hmmm when i click on the keyboard on center bottom it just minimize it, didnt really do anything. So where can you download those custom ROM where it can work? please send me some info thanks
https://www.jayceooi.com/2010/08/12/download-htc-hd2-cookie-energy-windows-mobile-6-5-x-custom-rom/
will I able to uninstall later if it is not working?
It should be. Worst case == hard reset. 😉
these step is so confusing, and my htc hd2 for t-mobile cant reset by holding the volume down key 🙁
You can select which SPL version to install in “Choose SPL” screen. To check your SPL version, hold the Volume Down button and do a reset.
It is possible to downgrade to this SPL, by just flashing to an Official ROM with this SPL version.
3) Features
– Disabled CID Check, so you can flash any official ROM without using a Gold Card.
– Security Level = 0, so you can use all the boot loader commands (for developers).
– This HSPL will not get overwritten when flashing a full NBH with SPL via RUU.
– No NBH signatures check, so you can flash unsigned ROM images.
4) Warranty Issues
Be warned, Installing HSPL may void your warranty.
If you need to send your device to a Repair Centre, make sure that you uninstall HSPL!
5) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
– Take any “RUU_signed.nbh” from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
– Rename it to “leoimg.nbh”
– Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

hey, jayceooi~ i find your site very informative! Good job man! Thanks for sharing all this precious information with us…. i’m using htc Leo Energy rom, Just solve the chinese input problem and with your solution!!! Now i can input and read chinese words 🙂 its super cool and smooth now! 🙂
However, i cant see the weather animation on home tab, if i go weather tab, i can see all the animation moving around the screen which is very cool…. how can i show the weather animation at my home tab?
1 more question, everytime login to my fb using Opera browser, i can only see the mobile version fb. Is there any way we could view it as what we view from the computer?
I appreciate your help… thanks.
Hi Gregory, you are most welcome here. 🙂
For weather animation ~ use Edit Quick Links – Insert new link – Select Toggle Switch – Pick Weather Toggle. You can on / off weather animation with it.
For Opera browser ~ Go to Settings – Select Display – Untick Mobile View. Or change the setting on that particular website.
hey jayce! Thank you so much for your prompt reply! The weather animation is enabled! Now animation comes out already…. thanks man~! You are the coolest dude on earth! haha…
but for the Opera browser, i have done as what you mentioned above, the Mobile view is “Untick” by default, so the display still maintain the same as Mobile view even i the checkbox is unticked. Is there any way to make it display like normal computer view?
Truly appreciate your kind help…. 🙂
This is website dependent. For example, try to login to Facebook using Opera Mobile. You will get mobile version of Facebook.
You can try https://www.jayceooi.com/2010/05/26/uzard-web-p-a-server-based-web-browser-for-windows-mobile-blackberry/ It is server based browser.
hey jayce! You are always so helpful and kind…. 🙂 ya, i have installed uZardWebP as my web browser. And it works so well and i can see the normal fb view already!!! Thanks man…. However, uZardWebP cant use finger to zoom in the size we like… bit pity there… I actually wanted to install skyfire but why start from july 2010 they wont support certain countries, therefore i cant install it… weird…
Anyway, thanks for your great help! What rom are you using now? upgrade to Android froyo 2.2?
Yup, Skyfire only provides service to North America and Western Europe from that date.

Hmm… I don’t have GPS issue with Energy ROM + Chinese input. No setting is needed. Try reset phone and see. If cannot, hard reset it. If still cannot, try other version Energy ROM.
Hi Jayce,

Glad to hear that. 🙂

Is your model T8585?
Hello. i have found the model: Touch HD2 LEO T8585 Platform: Pocket PC
I have Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
CE OS 5.2.23090 (BuILD 23090.5.3.0)
Processor: QUALCOMM(R)8250B
Odd Arne
If yours an official HTC HD2 T8585, you can try to install custom Windows Mobile ROM like https://www.jayceooi.com/2010/08/12/download-htc-hd2-cookie-energy-windows-mobile-6-5-x-custom-rom/
If not, I cannot help much. Since China make lot of clone devices. Your HD2 might be one of them. 😉
thank you very much, so far so good. it is working…..
Thank you very much for the information. I tried all three files on my T-Mobile HD2. Character display and input worked great. Well, at least until I did a soft reset. Then, the input completely flaked out. The icon at the bottom center morphed into a indiscernible hazy cloud. And, hitting it shifted the bottom part of the screen, but no type of keyboard would appear. No type of input, Chinese or English, was possible after that point. And, this is with a stock ROM (3.14.531.1). After removing both IME_CHT_LEO_HKCW_V4.zip and UseMyNLS_Global_Region.zip, but leaving the fonts, the input keyboard returned to normal, I’m able to see Chinese characters. So, at least it’s still an improvement.
BTW, do you have any idea how to get accented pinyin characters to display? Basically the 3rd tone vowels with the exception of ‘e’ show up as blank square boxes.
Thanks!
hi jayce…
i download already •UseMyNLS_Global_Region.zip
but in msg no chinese word.. cant type the msg chinese..
how to msg in chinese?
Sorry, if you install 3 files above and still cannot read Chinese, I have no idea then.
