Hi there !
I have flashed Ver 1.1 then 1.2 on my O2-Asia, and several T-Mobile and SX56 of my friends and business partners. No accident so far.
Congratulations and thanks to xda-developers. Even went once to WM 2003, then back to ver 1.2. Never touched radio upgrades though.
Questions from a newbie : can I cook my own ROM in French with Jeff's kitchen ? Assuming I would have a basic ROM (from Bouygues ?), will it mix with other apps in English ? If it works, should I upgrade the radio part too ?
Cheers 8)
I was thinking of creating some elaborate translation mechanism with lots of search/replace strings for the ROMkitchen. Then I figured most people really only want the keyboard layout and word-completion for the language they speak and the keyboard they're used to.
We have a volunteer currently looking into what would be involved in creating our own keyboard layouts and completion dictionaries. Stay tuned...
well as french using an UK o2 XDA in France i was alson wondering, but i remember trying to put an english rom on my french version ipaq 3 month ago, i realized that bootloader of the device is also looking for language so that i was not able to update it to wince 2003 eng cause it was e franch device.
actually to solve my problem on the xda which is only for me to manage a azerty keyboard with french accent i use a software that change the keyboard.
That would be great to have the diferent language dictionaries, keyb and os language files nevertheless, but seems to be quite a hard job ...
French cuisine in ROM kitchen
Thanks a lot to both xda developer Peter Poelman and Cyberb0b.
Agree that most of us will be happy only to have a French layout keyboard. For the rest, English is now the universal computer language, whether we like it or not : we must do with it.
BTW which kbd software do you use ?
Will stay tuned, with xda developers forever !

hi anyone knows a way of changing an english rom of xdaII to french language??
Dory, please read :

Quite a few are interested in getting a ROM in French, but according to XDA-DEVELOPERS it's not for today, not even for tomorrow. Let's wait until Bouygues Telecom releases a French version of WM 2003... But then you won't get all the goodies you can cook which have to go along only with an English ROM !
I am quite happy with a ROM cooked in Jeff's kitchen (thanks and praise to him) 4.00.11 ENG working very well with radio version 4.16.00 on O2 Asia 64MB.
From friends' experience this ROM is doing equally well on SX 56 and T-Mobile with original radio versions. From my own experience, hangups and slow operation encountered by some are due to newly installed programs which need a hard reset after installation.
Interkey keyboard in French is very helpful. Thanks Tenzin !
Then what do one needs French for ? :? Only a matter of habit, after a few weeks you operate automatically and do not even realize it's in English...
Bonne chance !
I tried it myself and it works great!
On my HTC Wizard I'm running a Dutch ROM Translation Pack that was put together on this forum a while ago.
Since I now own a Wizard and a Prophet I decided to try to turn my SPV M600 with the latest Dopod ROM into a fully Dutch working device
And it works like a charm!
You can find more info on this in the "Wizard Upgrading" thread.
NOTE: I don't give any kind of garantee that it works for everyone! But it works for me 8)
Tried with wm6?
It's been silent for a while on the dutchiefront.
If anyone has any experience with this translation pack on a wm6 rom, please post here.
For a start: Translation of the dictionary and t9 input to Dutch with this cab works tadeloos on my g4 prophet with fantasticmobiz b4 (WM6) rom:

I can live with an English OS, but ...
Hello
I have Qtek 9090 (spv m2000), I installed (settled) wm5 English version, but I found that it is not practical... Before returning in wm3 French version, I want to verify before if there is one wm5 in French or if there is a means to change the language.
Thank you in advance
For sure somebody did french localization, but I would not recommend using it. The best you can do is to keep english OS but add french keyboard support (if your device is french) - AFAIR it's just small registry modification to choose keyboard layout.
think you man...

Hi, I would like to know how I can create a custom rom (Flash.DIO) so that I can modify Windows Startup files and decide on what software I want to have installed by default, etc...
When I applied the HP Rom Update at one stage, it modified my Rom so that every time I do a Hard Reset, it will put CustomizeEngine.lnk in the Windows startup folder and this will start auto installing software from the Extended rom which I am not interested in and then after the installation I am forced to do a soft reset (this is quite annoying).
If there is a way to fix this please explain.
Thanks heaps
Hello, my first post here.
The 6.1 manilla seems really good, but I'm from Sweden and want it in swedish language. English could work but swedish had been much better.
I've read the forum and i have a weak memory that I saw a thread with different languages, but now I can't find it. I thought I saw a swedish version, but maybe I'm wrong?
A swedish rom would be wonderful! I've been reading on some swedish forums also and there seems to be alot of people looking for a swedish rom.

Hy!
I would like a Dutch ROM for HP iPAQ 614c

Hopefully someone will make one
Romanian one?
A multi-language rom would not be so hard to make, just provide a sample rom with multiple languages, or multiple roms in different languages with a same version of core. And that is the hard part. If anyone could prepare such material, there will be many heroes whom can cook the rom for all of you. Including me.
Swedish Rom wanted here to=)
Swedish ROM wold be nice!
Swedish ?
nobody that can fix Wm6.1 on Swedish?
i got like 50 hp 614's here
all from different country's with different languages.
if someone can tell me how to upload like, the dump of the rom
or the language itself, i will upload every different rom i got.
so if someone could tell me how to upload a ''whole'' rom
i'd be honored i work with apple, linux, ubuntu or windows,
but i think trying this via linux will be the best way ( srry im kinda new to this)
greets, im sure we can make a multilang rom for the 614.

Hello,
I have this phone but have a problem- how to set English display language. I read in this forum - i must find a English rom... or... i am not shure. Can u help me?
/sorry for my english/
Thanks a lot
you can not change the language in windows mobile, you have to use an English ROM.
unfortunately, Acer has not yet released ROM updates, nor are there custom ROMs available yet. But check back the forum regularly, there is one in the making.
oh...
Just wait... right?
Can i install only English language? or... just update something?!?
you need to flash a different ROM, if you want a different language, period.
a device can only contain a single language a time, so you need to install a different Windows Mobile (in form of a ROM image). Why haven't you bought an English device to begin with?
I bought it from ebay. There is no information to display language.
Just one last question- can i install ROM from other model phone?
no.
you need one specific for the neoTouch S200.
Did you try to change regional settings (start, settings, system, regional settings). I always had an english device but this maybe will help you so you can read english.
What language do you have?
While waiting for an english rom, you may install/try SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 which works fine on S200 and choose enlish as your language. This will help you alot. At least you will use your mobile decent.
Freco, thanks !!!!
I will check SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 ... and will wait for rom.
You are the man!!! thank you again!!!
You can change language... but its a little bit tricky...
You need mui files for language you want eg 0415 are for polish language then change some registry entries...I've made polish language for TG01 and the only problem are settings from Toshiba(they don't use mui files ;/)

Hi All!
2 days ago i bought S200 and now i have the same problem
It`s french WM and it's .....aaaah no comment :/
I need english language (or polish)
I will try install SPB maybe it helps me for a few days...
But if someone will find english WM for s200 please share somewhere...
Now, I have s200_1.002c.00_fr
maybe some one can find s200_1.002c.00_en somewhere...
First You must know how to hard reset Your phone with button combination (messing with registry entries can lead to the hangups or make your system unbotable) second so far i know changing language on french/german TG01 to the English made system unbotable(that was Toshiba Keyboard SIP problem) and didn't translate much of the system... i didn't seen anywhere english mui files so easier would be to translate language to Your native using mui files from rom with close build number with one installed on Your phone
Hi everyone!
First of, as first time poster I'd like to say thankx to everyone who maintains this site and everyone who contributes with everything, from they're kitchen's best meals to any crazy ideas, I've been taking advantage of that for last month or so
But for this one I've found no answer, so here goes:
Yesterday I bought an Acer S200 F1 neoTouch yada yada yada...
I live in Portugal, so it comes with portuguese version of WM 6,5 which is horribly translated, making me, therefore, prefer the english version. I've never actually seen one of these with english version for sale here.
So I went around fishing for a way to change the language, I downloaded the official english version rom update from Acer's website, extracted it, replaced the ACER_EUU.exe with the cracked one, and it flashed smoothly.
However, EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn on the phone it hangs up, sometimes on the WM logo, sometimes during network search (shortly after WM is loaded I guess). Then it reboots all by itself, and then it works sort of ok.
I think I've described the process quite extensively, obviously, either I'm doing something wrong, or this method is not even supposed to work.
So I flashed the portuguese version back to the phone using the exact same method as described above, only not with english rom of course, and it is back to working as it should... in awful badly translated and cropped portuguese.
Should anyone know a way to get around the hang-ups I get with the english version, I'd be so grateful!
Cheers!
Why don't you try one of the Rafyvitto's roms. They are english and good looking.
Indeed. I'm using v2.7-vanilla, no crashes to date.
But I'm kind of obsessive, and rafyvitto's roms althought working much like they should, they have stuff built in which I think have no business being there. In this vanilla 2.7, as an example, title bar makes no sense as WM already has it's own way of doing the same (I think) I'm a noob to WM, so this might be a complete nonsense. Then there are bugs, such as the keyboard not showing/hiding properly during a call (I have to tap the button as if double clicking, and the button's description displays a wrong message ("hide" when it's hidden, "show" when it's being shown already) and sd-card encryption can't be turned off.....
Small things which make my day a little worst
Still, I appreciate rafyvitto's work, as the possibility of choice he provides us with is priceless =)
EDIT: as of the release of the new official rom's from acer (EUU_Acer_S200_3.003b.00_EN_03.03.08_3.003.01_20100119.zip) I am able to change the language from portuguese to english without the hangups I mentioned earlier!

are there mui files for every part of the os? like settings, programs, clock, messaging etc?
would it be possible to take the mui files from a german rom rename them from mui.0407 to 0409 install a new english rom and replace the mui files with the german renamed ones?
of course with a programm that allow replacing rom files like resco explorer or total commander?
if so maybe i even could get some german htc manila mui files from originial htc leo rom and rename and replace the ones of the acer s200 leo roms to have a part german rom ?
