Hi all.
I've bought an herald (P4350 in Italy) for my wife. I've registered the product to htc club and i've installed windows mobile 6 in italian.
Now i've read some thread as:
Newbs guide to Herald modification *updated* 10/18/07: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046
and:
All you need on your Wing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
If i've understood well, the first option means overwrite the OS i've just installed with another one with (impressive) features (as touchflo, cube interface, kayser like apps) preinstalled.
The second means collect some apps and install it (maybe it's possible htc home, even touchflo but certainly not cube's interface).
Well, due to limitation of the second way (cube's interface for example), i'd like to try the modified rom (cooked?), but i've some questions:
1) First of all, is it true that i can have all the functionality of the "Touch-IT,WWE v1.1" or similar cooked rom only by flashing the rom or i can found ALL the functionality by installing some apps?
2a) If 1) is false where can i found ALL the apps for doing the same things as well as in a cooked rom?
2b) If 1) is true, can i flash with Touch-IT rom my italian device with italian WM6 installed?
2bI) If 2b) is true, after trying Touch-IT rom can i reinstall my WM6 italian rom by double-clicking on the file downloaded from htc club? If not is a way to rollback to the original rom?
2bII) If 2b) is false (but also if it's true because i prefer the OS in my language ), PLEASE Itje make a Touch-IT,IT where the second IT meas ITALY
1. While you can have the apps, touch-it is built on a newer, more streamlined version of windows mobile 6.
2a. see 2b
2b. You can flash the WWE. I believe there was some effort to get a native language port, ask itje about that.
2bI. Yes. I believe the HTC club one is an RUU, a "Rom Update Utility". If you mess up in the flashing, you can use it restore from bootloader also
2bII. Again, ask itje.
wow that was confusing. Outlines are like hell on a apple.
fzzyrn thanks a lot for answers.
1. So u think that i can have also cube interface by installing an apps? Wich one?
2b. how can i contact itje for a native language port?
Again, thanks a lot for helping me.
i believe there are like flash-based emulations of the cube. Look in the main software development forum.
To contact Itje, private message him. Click on his name and then it should be obvious to extent
Hi!
This is interesting information for owners of the Xperia X2 that want to change the device language to Spanish, and for others who want to study a new ways to change it to other languages.
The people in a Spanish forum have managed to unbrand a Spanish Vodafone based X2 using a trick to foil SEUS: the way is aborting the phone custiomization process, and then, installing manually a lot of CABs. This method also is useful to change the language from Stock English to Stock Spanish MR1.
I've already tried on my English based X2 already Updated to MR1, and it worked. Now I have a Generic Spanish X2 with MR1 installed.
The curious thing is that, this Spanish Stock ROM is far more stable that the same R1BA024 in English. I've used the phone with the original MR1 English for a couple of days an it was a real mess. But, this Spanish ROM is a little faster and it hasn't give me so many problems. The phone is really more stable (not perfect, but nearly close).
This is the link (all credits goes to dreamcrawler):

The instructions are of course in Spanish.
Cheers.

You need Flash Hard-SPL first. Then Flash ROM with another language.
But there is not any Hard-SPL for X2 yet.

I think that you don't even bother on read my message.
I already changed the language on my X2.
English translation of all that would be nice.

TUTORIAL: DEBRANDING AND UPDATING YOUR XPERIA X2
1º Open SEUS, start a new update. EVEN IF IT SAYS YOU HAVE LATEST VERS, UPDATE IT ANYWAY.
2º ONCE IT REBOOTS, CALIBRATION SCREEN APPEARS. RIGHT AFTER CLICKING ON THE CROSSES, IT WILL APPEAR THE SONY ERICSSON LOGO, AND IT WILL START APPLYING THE CABS. PUSH THE RESET RIGHT after it starts applying (hidden behind the stilus, opening the battery cover).
3º After rebooting, the Sony Logo will appear again asking to retry. Press NO.
4º Now you will need a pack with all the cabs from the language firmware you want to change & update your X2. No matter if they are from the old firmware or the last one.The important part is they must come from the firmware with the language you want to turn your cellphone into. you can find how to extract said cabs here:
(damn forum, it wont let me post a link, in this same forum theres a post explaining how to extract roms, seek for it)
5º Once you have the cabs on your SD Card, you have to install them all, one by one. Once you are done, restart the cellphone.
6º Start SEUS again, run another update, force it if it says you have last version and you will get your X2 updated on your desired language.
I also made a tutorial to make your x2 stable, run it with SPB shell 3.5.3, and many other fixes. tell me if interested so i can translate.
hello
I can't find any way to extract the cabs from the x2 firmwares(extractcabs.exe doesn't work).Can you please help by providing a tool for that or the cabs(english version firmware).
Thank you for the support!
biglaur, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5384641&postcount=2
requires .NET Framework 3.5
...
I have a .sdr version of the firmware but it doesn't work with the program above either.Help to the pro's,many thanks if someone posts the cabs from any english firmware.Please...!Thank you!
got it...
It works,my x2 has english language from sweedish.To find the english language cabs type in the "search" tab this:"Cabs from MR1 are posted here" and you'll find them.
Many thanks to you guys that posted the method,you deserve all our respect.

Sorry, how to force SEUS update it anyway? It said "you have the latest software"....

It's not necesary that you force SEUS update on step 1. You can simply hard reset the device under Settings to erase all phone's content.
Then, you can go to step 2.

Thank you very much for advice-)))
But the thing is - few days after device hard using I got a stupid decision delete all pre-installed soft. And after rebooting I can only see the SE logo. I can put device into boot-loader but everytime SEUS says "You have the latest vers...etc"...
Bought it in China so I think the only solution is to wait official MR2 update for X2 for China.
Because X2 didn't official come to Chinese market yet.
X2 Language Swedish <--> English

I need to do exactly the same as biglaur did. Have Swedish X2, Need English X2.
Can you share (links to) the English CABs ? also the Swedish CABs ?
It's a company phone so I might need to restore it to original.

Language from Czech to English
Very new to the forums here.
Phone: Xperia X2
Want to change the language on all of the programs from Czech to English.
I have tried to read as many posts as I could about this and people keep talking about putting X2 roms on their X1. I have not found any step by step instructions anywhere on how to change the language other than this thread and I am still unable to understand how to do it/get the proper programs/roms/tools etc. . . I have downloaded what I thought would be the step by step instructions but apparently you need special programs to open them up as well. Sorry to sound like s 3 year old but I am totally new to this and really want to use/read/understand the language on my new Xperia X2 phone.
My family bought me a Czech language Xperia X2 that I need to change to English. I am getting the complete run around from SE(Sony Ericsson) Europe as well SE USA."The phone was sold in Slovakia and was meant to be used in Slovakia. SE is not responsible for changing the language. . . " yadda yadda boolcookies.
Questions:
1.) Is there a complete step by step process (for idiots like myself) with all of the downloads/instructions/programs/extractors needed to change the language to English?
2.) Does the language change affect ALL of the programs on the phone: Windows Mobile Office, Internet Explorer, CNN tracker, Panels, etc. . . Or are there specific roms that i need to find for each program on the phone? Where are these roms?
3.) If I succeed to perform the necessary steps to change the language from Czech to English will I be able to perform future SE phone updates?
Sorry to be so new to this but I can use some help if someone is willing to offer it.

Language from Czech to English
Double Post
this is great! all i have instaled on my phonr is windows 6.5 that cames with the mr1 firmware (SE buggy stuff not installed) i installed just the SE dialer, SE comm manager and SE taskmanager. I also installed the SPB shell 3.5.3 and i have it as main menu. oh i also installed the X2 camera app from mr1 asn the SE flash deployment. internet settings were needed to set manualy bat that is no problem.
So far the performance is amazing. that SE stuf it just prings the phones performance down. I dont have slideview, dont have panel manager. as i da basic WM 6.5 and SPB 3.5.3 (and some apps for internet and file management.)
X2 performance for the first time in 3 month since i got the phone reminds me on my X1.
Ty again so much
I have updated to the latest version, canceled the customization and installed the extracted cabs as explained above and afterwards reflashed.
But unfortunately same language as before (Swedish) instead of English.
Did i miss a cab or something ?

try to delete the folder inside C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\ BEFORE you run SEUS
Im going to try and chagne my generic_SG to generic_UK after hearing its better.
So this is the steps Im going to try:
1) Do steps explained in first step up to the retry but and say NO
2) Download R3A UK rom
3) Extracted cabs from UK rom on SD card
4) On clean WM install ALL cabs? (Is this necessary?)
5) Update on SEUS again, say YES
6) Hopefully it will update it to generic UK
7) Once upgraded to MR2, clear phone memory again and repeat steps from post 1
8) Install my own personal cabs from R3A rom
Please correct me if im wrong anywhere, cheers.
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
Here is your Saviour!
You will need to look at this page

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.
I'm looking for a ROM for my Touch HD which includes the following things:
- GERMAN SWYPE! (that's maybe the most important thing)
- WM 6.5 (With the buttons at downside)
I use the "Windows default" Screen (I dunno if it's the right name for it) so I don't need any special type of "HTC Sense" (or similar).
Please help me to find the right ROM!
Thx
i have the right rom for myself
makes me happy to hear, that you have the right rom for yourself... maybe you can help me find the perfect ROM for me...?!
i think the rom you are loking for doesnt exist here on xda
maybe on a german htc site it exist
as there arent many german chefs i havent seen a german start menu at the bottom
i know andy also uploads on a german site and maybe there he has a startmenu at the bottom
or go here and download a german kitchen and try to make youre own
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534534&highlight=ger
thanks for the link. I'll have a try on this one!
But I think you misunderstood. I don't want to have a german interface - there's no need for this. All I want to have is swype in German!
I also looked for a German version of Swype but all files I found were removed... at the moment I use EnergyROM and i'm really happy with it - the only thing is swype. It has only a german dictionary.
A friend of mine has a HD2 with his GoaTrip Rom he has German Swype...
Is it possible to use a HD2 ROM on a HD???

You can install Swype with a simple CAB
too many rom's with wm 6.5 to list. You can try.
for example, I use a italian rom with sense buid-in (because i think that it's most stable), but i disabled sense and i use with another today screen.
where can I get that CAB???
Swype is installed with my ROM - the Problem is it's only english - I want to have a German version...
German ROM
Hello....
Take a look on my ROM..
http://www.htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=5662
Install SWYPE as a .cab . You will find it everywhere.
But SWYPE make an error by select names in SMS-PRG.
Better take SlideIT by Dasur.
http://www.dasur.co.il/product/slideit/SlideIT.php
It's faster and smaller. (I thing it's much better)
Available in all languages.
Mark....
Thanks for the link - i'll try it.
I also installed slideIT for now and it's doing good - maybe I'll buy it, when the trail is over...
MOD EDIT - As this is more of a query regarding Swype and no rom development I've moved thread to General forum
I wanted to downgrade my pocket pc os to it's original rom because the windows mobile 5 does not have a transcriber.thanks
Hello nfstanton,
I don't have any i-Mate ROMs, but would be willing to search if I know more about what you need. I bet the following information might help others want to help you...
Could you list the model name or number of your i-Mate?
Are you trying to downgrade to 2003 or 2002? With or without phone? What language ROM?
Any chance you know the ROM version number that you want?
Wishing you success.
ph10b windows mobile 2003..thanks
LOL - I see that is a hard to find ROM... HTC Worldwide doesn't even list the Himalaya on their Support page anymore. Other resources I checked don't have it in repository either.
One quick fix may be to Download the install package for Transcriber direct from M$. It is listed for WM 2002, but may work under WM 5.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...c3-2eee-41e3-9339-f7b303f4b386&DisplayLang=en
They have it in English, French and German...
Or
Here on xda I found an "All Himalaya WM 6.x ROMs" thread by user maggie
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379017
Lots of ROMs in multiple languages to choose from...
Some of the links might still be good... Maybe an Upgrade instead of a Downgrade??? Especially since WM 2003 is next to be phased out of support by M$.
P.S.: I'll still poke around looking for the WM 2003 a bit... Post back if either option above solves your problem so I don't keep searching needlessly.
Here is a Blog with info and working download link for a cooked version of WM2003 ROM which installs on all Himalaya... (It appears to be an English Language ROM)

There's a little problem
I'm having difficulty changing the operator in the WM2003 nbk and radio files..it says that i have to use command prompt and enter the words in the instructions so i entered them and it says that it doesn't recognize the syntax...How do you really change the operator ID of the ROM? Please elaborate the steps..if you can.Thanks
I'm honestly not up to speed on Radio Stacks... There is a large group of threads for your device here:
