Changing the '$' sign with the '£' sign on keyboard?

As per subject really...
I have the Imate WWE 1.13 ROM on my JAM but cannot find the '£' sign anywhere on the keyboard (just the $).
Is it possible to change this somehow- even with an additional plugin/app if need be?
Thanks.

Go start--->settings--->system--->regional settings and select United Kindom

Phone Number Format

Does anybody know how to change the display of the phone number, I'm using mUn's ROM and when a missed call came through from an unknown number it put the first 3 numbers in a bracket, whereas the Orange ROM used to display them as a proper UK number format xxxx-xxxxxx

I'm not sure about that- but have you gone into Settings/System/Regional Settings and made sure it is set to English (United Kingdom) ?
Phone format isn't within the options list, but it may affect the display of numbers

Arranging Screens
How do you easily rearrange (already created) screens (left and right of home screen) without having to remove and recreate again. Thanks

Wildfire Weather Data
Where does HTC gets the weather data from. Is it from Accuweather ? How do you include cities not found in the list ? Thanks.

You need to find your closest location.
There aren't stations in every city.
Also you drag and swipe your screens for moving htem

Thanks for the reply. But that's not what I expected. It's clear now that Desire takes weather data from Accuweather. I remember when I was using WM (Jade) some cities are not listed by HTC (especially the small cities), but data actually exist in the main Accuweather database. (e.g. Labuan is not listed in Wildfire but actually listed in the main Accuweather dbase). These cities can actually be added by modifying/adding to weather.xml file. I am not sure what file is used in (Android) Wildfire. Does anyone know ? and if so how to edit that file ? Thanks.

Are we able to wake the phone using the Optical Trackpad Button? Its quite tedious to use the power button every time.

Sense Graphics are in the .APKs for sense,
You could modify them with a decompile tool and recompile the apk and theoretically put them back onto the device but you need full root and general knowledge of recompiling an app.

3D Interactive Games
To all Wildfire Users:
Does the Wildfire plays 3D interactive games like Raging thunder,Caligo Chaser,etc?
Thanks

you can tell your phone to retrieve the weather based on your location. it's working fine with me even in small cities.

You might want to update the root question to include links to the official post from rpearl regarding unrEVOked's effort...

Yes, thanks. The thing is sometimes it does update, sometime it says "data unavailable". Anyway, not a big deal as we can always get detail weather from the website using browsers. Danker.

[SOLVED] Telephone dialer number format

Hi,
Im in the UK and have just recently imported an Atrix, one little thing that is bugging me is the number formating on the dialer and also how number from my phone book are displayed when making a call.
Is there any way to stop this dispalying the american format xxx-xxx-xxxxx and get rid of the dashes?
Thanks

can anybody help?

Since this is a north american phone, you might have more luck looking at a UK phone community and ask someone who also import phones.

I am curios, what format is the UK phone numbers?

Number in UK would be like:
(01224) XXXXXX
Dialing UK from US would look like:
011 44 1224 XXXXXX
Note: 01224 is Aberdeen, Scotland area code.........home for me!
Now I have 781 area code...............Boston area, my newer home!

No english locale???

I just got this phone.
In the initial setup menu, I can choose keyboard language of 'english UK' or 'english US'. But then the next screen is locale, and there is no england/greatbritain/unitedkingdom at all! no america/usa either! I put it on "st. kitts and nevis" cause that's english-speaking country at least, and phone is still in english, but this is kinda bizarre... any ideas if I can patch it in somehow?

Post some details about your ROM. In other way we are not able to help you.

As I recall the Xiaomi phones are not sold anywhere that English is the main language, ie UK and North America, so there is no English locale option, I think mine is on Algeria but it doesnt seem to really affect anything that I have noticed.

Follow this link and you will got the English ROM

There's no Ireland also.

Australia is also missing. I can only guess that the listed regions are where they have officially released their phones.
