Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Japanese Ime On Openzaurus? Cacko Rom Only?

Thanks for the reply, acpkendo. I have this thread set for auto-notification of replies, but it's not working right.

Anyway, this reminds me of something I had read about two years ago. Some people had been encouraging Sharp to release their IME as open source. Would this make everything easier -- compiling an IME for OpenZaurus? There is not much discussion of this topic as it relates to OpenZaurus. I guess that most people who want Japanese abilty stay with the Sharp ROMs, and those wanting to hack don't mind ditching the IME.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Japanese Ime On Openzaurus? Cacko Rom Only?

« on: May 30, 2005, 08:10:36 am »

I had a bike wreck and broke my Palm Tungsten E,  so now i am trying to migrate everything over to  the Zaurus. I have a B500 (5600 equivalent) with the Sharp 1.5JP ROM on it now. Does anyone know if I can flash this to OpenZaurus 3.5.3 and get Japanese IME ability (not just *reading* Japanese, but also *entering* Japanese)? The Cacko ROM is the only one mentioning this ability,
http://my-zaurus.narod.ru/cacko-jp-howto.html
but the Cacko ROM is Sharp-based and runs only on the 7XX/860 line.

Thank you.

PS I want to use the Zaurus for Japanese study, networking/hacking, and notes/PDA stuff
