I recently got a cast-off Moto Razr V3xx that I've been working on getting the DFM for Chinese working. Well, after several days of banging the thing against my head it worked, and all because of this post. I thought I'd add my experience to help others possibly on the same road.
I essentially did what Bahathir did; I used the info on http://dictionarymid.sourceforge.net/newdict.html#SetupJARUpdate though. The 'manual' way turned out to be the easiest, I don't see the point of messing about with yet more quirky programs.
1. download the (non-functioning) 3.1.2 Chinese dictionary
2. download the 'Empty' dictionary (again, from the site above)
3. rename both to .zip from .jar
4. open the former in explorer (other platforms may have to unzip, generally not preferable) and copied the 'dictionary' directory
5. paste said dictionary directory to some temp location and remove the 'fonts' file from within it. copy these two files now
6. paste the two files into the main dir of the 'Empty dictionary' zip file
7. rename the 'empty' dictionary back to .jar
8. Don't forget to adjust the 'size' line in the associated .jad file (came with the Empty dict). To make this the truly 'idiot's guide' version, open the 'properties' of the new dictionary you've created. Copy the 'size' line (not the 'size on disk'). Now open the .jad file in Notepad. The last line states the size. Paste yours over the existing one, and delete all commas spaces and other junk leaving only the numbers. Save and close.
I used MIDway 2.8 to upload the files to my V3xx. No more 'application error'! If you want more info, or the copies of the files in question feel free to reply. And a big thanks for Bahathir's brilliant yet amazingly simple idea! Bloody dictionary is fanplastic, it even shows trad/simp side by side. Damn nice.
