Chinese/English

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me with this question?
If I were to buy a Chinese Jade (Chinese windows etc.) I would obviously be able to receive txt messages in Chinese, but if I flash the ROM to English, would I still be able to receive Chinese txts? If not, if I then installed Chinese language support for the windows mobile as in "Monster Chinese" etc. would it then be possible to receive these txts?
If that would work then I assume the following would be the same (Is this correct?)...If I bought one from England which would obviously already be in English and installed the Chinese language support would it then be possible to receive and send Chinese txt messages?
I guess my confusion is between the "PPC part" and the "phone part", I had an IPAQ before and I know I can install Chinese language support, but I am just not sure if that would allow the "phone part" to use it
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am in England for another week or so and not sure if I should buy one before I go back to Taiwan.

Since it is one system, yes, just install the chinese support software. I prefer the fast, convenient and FREE ZTA4 Text input. http://www.a4user.com/A4_down_sip.asp
Works very well on Jade. But you still need the chinese font file for actually displaying the hanzi. Use sunglobe: http://www.trendsmobile.com/downloads/sunglobe.cab.zip
Greetings from Berlin and Beijing

Thanks
Thanks S200 for the quick answer.
Great help
I will check those links now

why the first answer is a no ?
i found some tutorials on a Chinese site, it says you need to install font to display chinese characters, and an input method to type chinese, even if you are using an english rom, and isn't this correct?

http://www.ricky119.com/category/technique/cellphone
and you can also use ce-star to get chinese support, but current version is reported to be unstable and could lead to crash constantly.

yeah thats what I meant, just install the font I mentioned in my post, then of course the answer is yes. but without modifying the english ROM, it is unable to DISPLAY (but of course receive) chinese chars..

I had installed the "CE Star" for handwrite and display the Chinese Charater. I found it still cannot display on the TouchFLO. Can any expert help? Many thanks!

my jade comes with ce-star 2.8 r3. i think this is the latest version works perfectly with jade and wm6 phone.

buy an English Jade and installed PlumSIP and Monster Chinese, works better than CE Star

Chinese characters

Hi, I just updated to 1.61 Tur rom ytd and realized that I am unable to view chinese character from SMSes. Is there any way I am able to view it ? I used to be able to view it with the 1.48rom
Thanks in advance ...

god...didnt u noticed it from the name of the rom itself; before u flash?
yes, I'm a troll

What he means, is that it's a Turkish ROM, so it probably won't have any chinese fonts in there. Until there are official 1.61 ROMs available, you're not gonna have 1.61 with Chinese. (Unless there's a fix that I haven't imagined)

not sure about smsses, but you can install a chinese font. Like the ricky chinese support. With that i can view chinese in file explorer and the htc audio player. Look @ screenshot.

try some fonts files like .cab . you can find it by google with keywords yahei for wm6, good luck

Thanks. Will try it out. Appreciate it

hi , any success? i also want to add Chinese , also thous the keyboard "gets" Chinese options too?

CE-Star?
I used to use CE-Star on my TyTN II... thought I'd just reinstall it on my HD2 when I head back to China next.
That should work, shouldn't it?

Chinese android?

Hi, I am very new to the whole android scene especially since I just got my android hero this weekend. My question is that my dad has an android and english isnt his best language so I was curious if there was a chinese android 1.5 for Sprint Hero? I seen some pictures of it.
thank you.

not sure if sprint has muti-languages on there device.But check under settings> locale and text > select locale. And see if there's any other languages to choose.

When I was messing around with PNG files from the new Pancake ROM, I DID find a Phone apk that has Chinese symbols on it. I'm not sure at all though how you could enable that.

You can install MoreLocale, then select chinese as your UI language.
But there is a serious problem in sprint factory rom that it can not send unicode SMS corretly. The receiver will see messy code when u send chinese SMS.
This problem exists in all of Android 1.5 roms on XDA forum, and it is resolved in all of Android 2.1 roms. As u know, 2.1 roms are still in test.
Luckly, there is worked 1.5 rom in the world. This issue is resolved by chinese developer.
You can download worked 1.5 rom from www .diypda .com /forumdisplay.php?fid=237
（trim space please)

I'm not sure about the stock ROM but in the 2.0 AOSP ROM I'm running right now I can easily change languages and there are two Chinese options (I'm assuming one is traditional and the other is simplified.)
Menu > Settings > Language & Keyboard.
Might be worth upgrading your dad to a 1.6 AOSP ROM for at least. (I suggest 1.6 since everything, pretty much, works in those ROMs.)

Does 1.6 have chinese support? Also if the rom2.0 has chinese does this mean the upcoming 2.1 patch from sprint will have chinese or they'll try to condense the size and put only english/spanish again.

楼主可以下载一个叫custom local的程序来更改Hero的语言。当然，是不完全汉化，但是日常应用肯定没有问题。这个程序可以在baidu和其他Android论坛搜到。
Op could download one apk named customlocal to change the display language. It doesn't change all the menu to Chinese. But it could be used daily. You could download this apk through baidu or the other Chinese andriod forum.

You are looking for a Korean ROM or just need to view Hangeul, in which case you just need Korean font on your device.

Rom not font
looking for ROM not hangul font. Preferably with 576MB ram 'upgrade'. am hoping one exists.

If I...
Yeah.. me is looking for this too... I heard that you can install CHS+CHT Rom then you can install language pack (or something similar) to read and write in Korean...
I would live to give it a go, but only if i had spare HD2 to test it on...
lol
But I will let you know if i manage to do it...

I've Done It!!

He has clarified that he is looking for a Korean ROM whilst based on your post, you are looking for the ability to just read and write Korean. If it is the latter, that can be done using the correct font and input (SIP)
However, you will not be able to view Chinese font. I am not sure if there is a way to allow the user to see both Chinese and Korean fonts at the same time

Hey mate, would the fonts and SIP's be available for download from the Microsoft website? And/or from someplace else?

I've ran into these and installed to my Touch pro 2. (it says it's from HTC HD2) http://www.mymits.net/zboard/zboard.php?id=pds&page=2&no=5757
Thanks to James Kim, it work fine as far as texting and e-mailing in Korean. (I've installed it last night and so far so good)
It comes with "Moa keys" and I was able to get some info from youtube. (I'm learning)
I've got T-Mobile and it's working fine, but when I try to send to my friend with AT&T, it gives me message and tells me try to send it without the symbols.
I guess it doesn't work if you have AT&T.

yea I am also using MoaKey2 which I think is from Samsung and is relatively easy to use.

@nayajoeun, can't remember where I got the fonts
edit: added cab file for font

its not easy to install font on wm6.5... i've tried so many fonts... all failed on me

Here is how i did it..
OK.. Here is how I did it.. hopefully this will help you ppl.
I'm currently using Telstra (Australia : 850Mhz / 2100Mhz) version of HTC HD2 (Leo).
I've forgot what Radio Version it was.. but yeah...
* Install HSPL
* Do a search for Merlion Leo Rom V2.5 on this forum
a) Once installed and configured,
* Do a search for Lost In Asia V1.2.23544 WWE with CHS on this forum
a) Once installed and configured, open up a browser then goto google.co.kr then in the search box, type in or copy and paste this "htc hd2 한글쓰기". It's the thrid one down on the search result... one that starts with "mymits"
b) download the files from the website and follow the instruction.
Instead of using Fingerkey, I found Moakey is alot better.
Hope this helps... Reason why I've used 2 custom roms.. ROM installed ok, but got stuck on HTC Screen (May be because I didn't read the information fully... advised to install RADIO Ver of 2.08 before installing the ROM)... So, I had to install Merlion Leo Rom V2.5 then Lost In Asia V1.2.23544 WWE with CHS.
Anyways...
Screenshots attached..
And I'm not responsible if this don't work and brick your phone... like all the cooked roms.
Cheers..

Bravo! Well done.
I would like to try on my HTC Touch Pro 2. Any advise?

Can't see why not

LIA ROM does not include radio whilst Merlion ROM does. You should be able to skip Merlion ROM for this exercise by just flashing the correct radio before using LIA.
Thanks for the updated MoaKey. Will give it a go later.

I made a mess trying to upload screenshots.
Skip this post, Sorry.

It's working! but it's 99.9%
I installed steps 1-6 on my HTC Touch Pro 2 and it is working, but whenever I pushed start button at bottom right it freezes my phone.
Until I installed MyMITs_Korea+Moakey2WVGA100310.cab then everything works smooth.
As you can see, some of menu has not changed yet. 99.9% I'll say.
My rom is |R|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23544 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
and it seems to be okay now.
I can't wait til the t-mobile hd2 comes out. (I'll have to butter up my sweetheart to get one probably )

Thank You!
Thank you so much for providing this for us. I just ordered an HD2 today, and I worried whether or not I'd have access to a Korean IME. 한어 문짜를 못 보내면 속상하고 한굴 컴색을 못하면 죽을 것 같아서 정말 고마워요!

keyboard only
your keyboad and fonts cab , is it possible to get the keyboard only, or if you could show the way i would be deeply endebted to yo sir/madam.

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

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.
