german version of the xda-developers rom 1.2

hi guys
first of all thanks a lot for your work, it helped me out a lot and especially letting me get to know my new device much better and easier.
i just have some hard time setting up your xda special rom image. with an english version built in linux flashed with the bootloader way and xdarit.exe, it worked out fine but when i tried to built my own german version, it just shows the splash screen, at the lower right corned it show that the system initialised (with this g32S54 ; R3.17.01 message written in red) but than it just freezes and cannot be started.
i somehow tried it with a german t-mobile image, an old o2 image and the newest o2 image and i got the same problem everytime.
is there a way to get the german version running ? since i'm in need of the special signs or does your mkrom script just runs on an english image ?

To be honest, we never really tested mkROM much on German versions. But there's new developments on the horizon, and you may like what's coming...

What do you mean with that??? A universal multilanguage SE??? Special german ROM???
Please give more details...

Hi All,
English is ok for me. I just would like to get a german qwertz keyboard on it.
If anybody has freeware suggestions let me know.

did you mkrom, to extract the xipchain from your rom?
the offsets used in mkrom may need to be changed. currently these are all hardcoded for the qtek rom. have not looked at other roms.

thanks for the hint, i'm just about to try that, just did not recognize this xipchains script. but i'm working on that.
but since my knowledge is not that good it may take a while...
more hints are welcome .
actually this german qwertz keyboard is the most important thing for me too.. but having also a german language just makes navigating much quicker, and since there are a lot of people around here being interested in your special rom, because the original once just suck and are totally unusable. and yours seems to run very stable...
greetz at all

Sorry, no freeware, but there is an application called calligrapher, wich is a handwriting recognition thingy, far better than transscriber. It can use custom dictionaries and has a better keyboard included with it. I use it all the time with a dutch upgrade. You can get the german one if you like and youll have the qwertz keyboard. (Because of a bug, the dutch version also has qwertz).

I have also tried to built a German one...see http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1490&highlight=dolo
So I am even not sure if my Linux solution is the right one, or the hardcoded stuff is tricking me.
so any clue on how to get mkrom on German ROM running is apreciated.
Dolo

just checked the 3.19.01 german rom, the MISC block is larger than in the qtek rom. now it is partially overwritten by the XDA_DEVELOPERS1 block.
you would have to change the start of xda_developers1 to 81840000,
and also make it smaller, since not everything will fit anymore.

hey that sounds cool, but how do i do that ?
deleting some files out of the files2 directory ?
and how do i set the start block ? sorry did not have enough time to read through all the readme and how to files...
thanks a lot

Intellipad problem

Hoping there's a simple explanation for this annoying problem ...
Upgraded my XDAII to WM2003SE - all went smoothly and fine. Extended ROM installed IntelliDial and also IntelliPad.
Now IntelliDial works just fine, no problems at all. IntelliPad however I cannot get to work. It's installed correctly (as it shows up in the drop down menu on Settings/Input) ..
However when I goto Notes, or Create New Message, I still get the standard keyboard. If I 'hit' the keyboard logo (bottom right of the screen), then amongst the options that 'pop-up' I get an entry for IntelliPad. If I select IntelliPad however, nothing happens - it still defaults back to keyboard !!!
What am I doing wrong ??? Any idea's ?
Thanks
Mark

Sounds strange, probably something went wrong during install.
What version do you use?
How about un-install & re-install?

I installed the one that was posted by DCS in the external ROM package @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13588&start=0
It's on an UK O2 XDAII.
Can anyone recommend another suitable IntelliPad download perhaps ?
Thanks
Mark

I might have fixed it
Downloaded the German IntelliPad that was posted @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13066&highlight=.
Changed the language to English and it now appears ? Maybe there is a problem with the other version ?
The German version that I downloaded is v1.0 (Build 17286) - anyone know what version / build number the DCS is ?
Cheers
Mark

Plz note the custimized (that is de-T-Mobile-ised) version posted (under custom skin)

Cheers edsub
Have found it & installed it. It works just fine !!!
I'm a happy bunny now - many thanks again.
Mark

@mark.peters

Yes... Use other installation... now... download RU image. Use 7zip to extract the installation (yes, you can). Download ENG image. Extract it from same way. Now, copy EXTROM.bin and FLASH.bin from ENG extraction files to RU files (replace). Then run ACER_EUU.exe . This is it ... and one more thing - if it show error for wrong version before "Key failure", edit the version.txt and put high version than yours.
Sorry for my bad english.
Good luck
/if you can not success, i will upload for you ready installation/

Hi, HTC HD MINI users....

i just bought this phone from ebay...
problem is....... the phone is in italian language, and not english...
i am panicking for what i should do, because i called HTC and they said they have no solution to change it to english
any advice would be appreciated from you guys, thanks

i'm also ok with chinese language FOR NOW, if english isnt available....
because i see a chinese rom file for download in this forum, but i am also not sure how to install it after i downloaded the .exe file

Mine is also gonna be in Italian (ordered today) and want to change it into English or Spanish. I downloaded both official ROMs, but apparently we also need something called Hard SPL before flashing it, otherwise it won't work

can someone kindly direct us to, or teach us how to install these language roms?

currently is not possible until hspl available

Try BSB tweaks
Hi,
I don't actually own a hd mini, but I do have a friend who does own one and the problem she had was very similar to those mentioned on this thread.
So I suggested that she installs 'BsB tweaks' and she told me that although it doesn't change all of the interface into english(or french, spanish, dutch, german, italian, czech, portuguese) it does change the Manila language...
Steps:
1. Download BsB tweaks 1.6 (or newer if any)
2. Install BsB tweaks
3. Go to 'menu'
4. Click on 'manila language'
5. Select your desired language
Hope this helps

thanks for the info, but i checked out some info on bsb tweaks online and it is for hd2 right? or does it work with the hd mini as well?

Yes it works perfectly on Hd mini and most of the tweaks i've tried work too

thanks all for the help..
ive installed the bsb tweaks, and some menus are english now, but some are still in italian....
is this the best solution already?

yes its the best solution for now until the HSPL is out !

Little explanation since the thread starter seems to be new at flashing custom roms:
First of all, concerning your language problem. You should be able to at least change the HTC Manila into the language of your choice by customizing a registry setting. This is at least possible in other Manila Roms for other HTC Devices.
Second of all, Hard SPL is necessary to be able to flash a Custom Rom onto your HD Mini. This "unlocks" the phone. Might be a while until someone makes an SPL for this device. Warning, if your phone ever fails to work and you have to send it in then your warranty is NOT VALID anymore if you change the SPL.

Now, you can change your ROM the english ROM
the hack tools leaked.

I've just installed BsB Tweaks in my new HTC and i was able to changed most of functions from Swedish to English. I'm waiting for update which may support all the functions in my HTC. Thanks for the information

Download the program. Follow the steps as he says..
Make a new folder and extract the file to that.
Then go to double u double u double u dot shipped-roms dot com /shipped/Photon/
and choose the ROM that you want (You can choose the latest Europe or Asia eg RUU_Photon_HTC_Europe_1.36.401.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36_Ship.exe or
RUU_Photon_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.07.707.1_Radio_Signed_20100305_Ship.exe
or GCC if you are in Middle East.
Then download this file and use win rar(right click on setup file and find to extract the RUU_signed.nbh file from this Europe or Asia ROM file to put in the folder u have made.
Run this and You will have English with the Latest ROM version!
It works 100 percent dont get scared by the trouble shooting comments!
Just read thru the pages and then follow wht I have told you!Plz comment how it went.

Open your ROM with OSKitchen and save it without changing anything. Than use SSPL. It worked with me.

Change language in the Htc Hd Mini

Does anyone knows how to change languages from the default language into English in the htc hd mini?

Language is fix and can only be changed by flashing another ROM, AFAIK.

There is a application called setup in start menu, its a HTC Sense setup program, if you launch it, it will give you a chance to choose language you want to install for HTC Sense. Worked by me.

Hi guys, I just bought a HD mini on Ebay, turns out its from Taiwan and is all in Chinese, does anyone know if I can put an English ROM on this? I'm in IT and pretty handy with working things out, but I wanted to make sure that it would accept it before I end up with a broken phone!
cheers
