Hello,

My language2 is Cantonese pinyin (specifically yale romanization) but it probably works the exact same as the Mandarin ("Chinese") pinyin.  So I can probably use that.  What is the associated file...  I tried NormationChi but it didn't find that file... 

Ryan

By the way, I just got my new dictionary up and running in the 2.7.0 version (I will convert to the 3.2.0 version when we figure this problem out) but I had a question about making or finding a Normation Class.  I made a new post:

With your experience maybe you can help!  Thanks again!

Hello,

Forgive me but I'm trying to create a new dictionary and I'm not that experienced at programming.  I had a question about creating a new Normation class, or perhaps if I'm lucky finding a suitable Normation class already in existence.  I get the concept that including Normation Classes helps during searches, so that if I type an "e" it would include other forms of the "e" character including accented ones.  (Stop me if I'm incorrect)  Anyways I have such a need in the dictionary I'm making, but its even more simple...  My language2 (non-english) entries have a number (indicating tone) after the word.  But I want to be able to search omitting the tone number and get all tone results.  For example if I search for "gai" I want results to include "gai1", "gai2", gai3", etc.  I have the dictionary working so far, but I must enter in the precise number or else it returns nothing.

Can anyone help me?  Either by whipping one of these classes up and giving me the link, or by telling me how to do it?  I'd appreciate any help I can get.  My dictionary is amazing and with this new addition it would be really powerful.

Thanks!!

Well it's back to the "Application Error" message again, which is a little bit of an improvement, but back to the original problem.  So it must be something really fundamental between the 2.7.0 and 3.x.x that is causing the problem.

Hi,

WinRAR does handle ZIP files as well as RAR files (obviously), JAR files, and many more types.

I don't really understand the JAD files...  When I copy those files to my phone, they don't show up in my list of applications to install.  If I copy both JAR and JAD files to my phone, then go to "Applications" and "Install New", I get a list of names with no file extensions... and only the JAR files seem to show up.  I don't know if the JAD files do something "in the background" when I install the associated JAR files or not.  I can't really tell.

Let me know what I can do to help.

Hello,

Again, this file results in a "Failed. Invalid File" error message.

I don't know if this helps, but when trying to create my own dictionary, I noticed that if I used the JarCreator.jar file to create the jar files, the installation at least got to the "Application Error" stage.  But if I tried to edit an existing dictionary by opening it in WinRAR and replacing files, it said "Failed. Invalid File.".  So maybe that gives a clue.

Ryan

Okay I tried those 2 jar files and they don't work...  but it quits at an earlier stage with a different error message.

When I hit "Install New" and select the appropriate filename, it immediately says "Failed. Invalid File."  It doesn't even get to the summary screen that I could normally get to.

Ryan

Hello again,

I tried all 3 of those jar files and none of them work.  They all respond in the exact same way 3.1.2 does - it quits during installation saying "Application Error".  I hope that helps to narrow down the problem.  Let me know if I should try any others.

Ryan

Thanks for the help!

I tried to install the empty DfM jar file 3.1.2 and had the same problem...  Here's the deal:

On my phone, I go to "Applications and Games" and "Install New" then select the DfM file from the list.
Then it gives me the summary:  Says the filename, version 3.1.2, made by Gert, etc.  Then I hit "Install"
Then it asks "Not a signed application. Continue anyway?" to which I reply "Yes"
Then it says "Installing..." but only for a split second...  because it almost immediately says "Application Error"
and then that's it... can't do anything else.  It kicks you out of the installation process.

Hope that helps.  What else can I do to help test?

Ah here it is... my problem exactly.  I have a Motorola K1 KRZR and I'm in the exact same situation.  The 2.7.0 version works perfectly and the 3.1.2 version says "Application Error".  I wouldn't mind normally but I'm trying to create a new dictionary (which is by default in the 3.1.2 version) and it also won't work...  Can someone please look into this??  How much could have changed between versions to make it not work?  Shouldn't be too difficult as far as I figure... but what do I know?  Please help!!!  Thanks so much!!

Ryan

Hey guys,

I just found this website.  Did you ever figure out jreiffers' problem?  I seem to have the exact same problem.  I have a Motorola K1 KRZR and I can't seem to install any DfM version above 3.x.x.  During installation of the .jar file, it says "Application Error".  Specifically I'm trying to install the Chinese-English dictionary.  I have access to the 2.7.0 version and the 3.1.2 version.  The 2.7.0 version works perfectly but the 3.1.2 version does not.  The reason I care about this is because I'm trying to create my own dictionary and your utilities use the 3.1.2 version and my new dictionary won't install, saying "Application Error" again.  What's the problem?  How can I fix it?  If it can't be fixed, can I have access to the 2.7.0 version of files to make my dictionary?

Thanks everyone,
Ryan
