Hello,
Here I'm going to explain what I did to translate the English Keyx ROM to Spanish, method applicable to any other language.
The things you need are:
- Keyx kitchen: you can find it in his folder. The ipaq_91x_28011_-_WWE_Kitchen and ipaq 61x 28011 - WWE Kitchen depending on your device.
- Hp original ROM in the language you want to translate to. You go here and you put in your device model. Select your language and go to Windows Mobile 6.1. Download the actualization ROM (about 50 mb).
- The Language Localization Packages 28205 release from Da_G
We have started the translation of our ROM
-------------------------------------------------
You need to unzip the Keyx kitchen into two different folders, A and B. In one of them, you will have the Hp ROM and in the other, Keyx one.
Unzip the Hp .exe file and copy the file FLASH.NBF into A\ROM. Rename it to TEMPLATE.ROM, deleting before the existing one. Go to A\ and execute iPAQ61x_91x kitchen v4 beta.bat. In the window which appear, select extract ROM (1). Then, let the program work.
-------------------------------------------------
Now comes the easy part of the translation. The spanish files in Da_G Language Packages are somethig like XXXX_Lang_0C0A. You will see there also the termination corresponding to your language. In english is XXXX_Lang_0409. So open B\SYS. Every folders in B\SYS which have a _Lang_0409 in his name, look fot them at the Language Packages finishing in _Lang_0C0A and copy from the Language Packages to B. Delete the 0409 ones.
Now we have "translated" the programs. But we need to do the same with the system. Every folders and programs installed at the first startup of the system are included into the initflashfiles.dat file. It is located at A(B)\OEM\OEM_Lang_0C0A(0409). I recomend to copy them both with different names (initflashfilesHp and initflashfilesEng, for example) into a common folder, out of A and B. Now you copy the A\OEM\OEM_Lang_0C0A into B\OEM folder. Delete the A\OEM\OEM_Lang_0409.
NOTE 1: To extract the Hp ROM, is recommended to use the ipaq 61x_91x_flex kitchen, due to this kitchen let you extract almost every ROM. Then, extract as described before, and when finished, if it gives you an error, enter into Temp\dump\OEM and you get there the OEM_Lang_XXXX.
Note 2: The right way to translate is not to copy one folder instead of the other, but to replace every file into OEM_Lang_XXXX wich have the language code (0c0a in Spanish) in the name (including system ones). Is a little harder and lower, but it give then less problems.
The 6xx kitchens are a little bit peculiar at OEM folder. Keyx moved every important files from OEM_Lang to OEM_drivers. So you'll HAVE to do the lower methode of the NOTE 1 explained before between these two folders. If not, when you build the ROM, it will stop saying that they are. This is the way I built the last 61x ROM and it worked.
-------------------------------------------------
The hard part of the work comes now. You have to open the initflashfilesHp and initflashfilesEng together and compare every internal construction. Is parallel, so you will not have any problem to identify the names that change. Rename every construction like Directory("My Documents"):-Directory("My Pictures") or Directory("\Windows")ermDir("Start Menu") into Directory("My Documents"):-Directory("Mis imágenes") and Directory("\Windows")ermDir("Menú Inicio") (spanish case).
Every file translated to your language at the Hp file have to be renamed, because is how the system changes from one location to another.
Here is also where you can select which folders your start menu will create and which programs go at which folder. My initflashfiles.dat is quite better organized and translated than the Hp one p), so you can open it to see how I did it.
-------------------------------------------------
Now is translated (goood!, hurra!) and only rest to build the ROM. To do it, you have to go to B\ and execute again iPAQ61x_91x flex kitchen.bat, but now, selecting (2) build ROM. Let the program work, follow the instructions, and when it finish, go to B\FLASH\ and there is your longed FLASH.DIO ^^
When you have finished this, almost everything should work. If not, ask here and I'll try to fix your problems
-------------------------------------------------
After all this, I think I deserve a beer no? jajaja : P
Good luck!
I would thank you any comments to correct the way I made this tutorial.
Great Norax!!!! I've waited so long fo this!!!! Thanks a lot!
Norax..... I had to cut the first 3432 bytes from FLASH.NBF and then rename it to TEMPLATE.ROM to let the kitchen extract it correctly.
actually you only use hp original rom for OEM folder, for the SYS folder you should use the corresponding lang files released with SYS, using older lang files may cause problem
Sure. I didn't realized I used the Da_G ones. I'm changing it

There is no problem if the kitchen does not extract correctly the files. The point is to extract the OEM_Lang_XXXX file. So maybe it didn't finish but you got the OEM_Lang_XXXX file into the temp\dump folder.
If it definitively does not work, tell me and I'll do it for you : )
Should I use the italian initflash.dat form da_G too?
Sorry about the delay. No, if you use the Da_G one, you'll only have the deffault things initialized. As you can see in the Keyx's, there are big differences because everything is organized in another way, inside folders and with some programs and applications missing or added.
So you have to edit the Keyx one, translating all things that have been translated into your language at the Hp initflashfiles.
Tell me if you didn't understand something.
In any case, I'm having problems to translate to Spanish the 6xx. So this tutorial may be only applicable to the 9xx ROMs.
Norax, thank you a lot!!!! With this tutorial I've done the first successfull conversion form english to italian!!!
I need to correct a pair of things but it's almost all working!!!
Just two questions:
How much is the default pagepool size of keyx kitchen?
Why all system is in italian except the shutdown message "Do you really want to shutdown the system"?
Again thanks a lot!!!

It happends also to me with the spanish one, so don't you worry about it, it seems to be untouchable.
-my default pagepool is always 16, you can check by using the pagepool changer under FLASH folder, when you change pagepool there is a logfile which tell you the original pagepool size
-the shutdown message probably in resources file that is under common sys (i.e not under the lang folder i suppose)

Como ya dije anteriormente, no debes usar la opción 1 si lo que quieres es construir la ROM. La opción 1 es para extraer los datos de un FLASH.DIO, pero si estás usando la cocina de Keyx, no te hace falta (es más, da error al extraerla, como te ha ocurrido).
Por tanto, modifica los datos del SYS y del OEM para cambiar el idioma, y selecciona la opción 2 cuando ejecutes el .bat para construir el FLASH.DIO.
As I sayed recently, you shouldn´t use the 1st option when you want is to bouild a ROM. The option 1 is to extract the data from a FLASH.DIO you already have. But if you are using the Keyx kitchen, is not necessary (in fact, if you do you'll have an error, as it happened to you).
So then, modify the SYS and OEM folders to change the languaje, and then use the option 2 of the .bat file to build the FLASH.DIO file.
1. i've got same problem like facundoo with sprx2xip
2. I want to translate WM 6.1 but i've got only lang files from DA_G to WM6.5, do you have lang files for 6.1?

Ok. Now I remember what happened. When you extract the Hp ROM from the .DIO file (renamed to TEMPLATE.ROM), it will say there was a problem extracting, but if you look into the temp folder, you'll find the longed language package
Use the ipaq 61x_91x_flex kitchen, then extract as described in the tutorial (that I'm changing now to introduce this info), and finally, when finished, enter into Temp\dump\OEM and you get there the OEM_Lang_XXXX.
Hope this fix the problem. If not, insist this way
Hi, thanks for the info on that other thread ^_^
I need more help please.
Ok, I added/removed/edited whatever I wanted and I'm at the proccess of translating initflashfiles.dat, since there's no official greek rom.
I got the latest version of initflashfiles.dat I could find (14/2/10) and it all comes back to me now. the 0408 version, instead of proper folder names like "Τα εγγραφά μου" (for "My Documents") has a weird string, "\x004D\x0079\x0020\x0044\x006F\x0063\x0075\x006D\x0065\x006E\x0074\x0073". I presume it's character sets but I have no idea how I can translate that so I can find what I should change in the kitchen's initflashfiles.dat. Last time I just used the naming conventions from my omnia's 6.1 rom, it worked but I got some duplicate entries and I got stuck with the welcome screen on every boot. Other than that I was pretty happy for a first attempt. I'm trying to do a proper job this time, and learn during the proccess. What should I do?
Also, is there any way to use the standalone device emulator to test the rom so I don't have to flash each time to test?
EDIT: oh, there's an official rom for 914, I'll try extracting that and see where I can get, my questions still stand though

Yes, that's the way. In fact, what I did was to develop the spanish one, which is basicly like the English one but in Spanish, to have everything a little bit more ordered. And when I was proposed to do ir in Chinese and Polish, I only had to translate to the other languages what was in Spainsh, and don't touch what was still in English. At the end, however, I had the same problem as you. But doing it this way, it's easier to not to wrong any name.
The thing is that is quite confusing that, for example, the Windows folder is also called with numbers, but sometines it appears the Winows itself. So let me finish our tests in THIS forums so I can give you an answer.
Of course, if you finally got an usable ROM, please, send to me your initflashfiles.dat, so I can see how you did it
I can't extrct the rom properly, SRPX2XIP crashes and the extraction doesn't get far enought to get initflashfiles from the temp dir. Oh well, I'll do the tranlation again. Sure, I'll post my file when done. I'm trying to make the rom a bit lighter so some of the extras will be missing though.
What about the emulator? Can we use it for testing the rom?

No, I couldn't test it because as far as I know, is not possible to change the emulator that way. We should try it, any way. But I'm at this moment quite busy If you find a way, tell me and we can see how to do something.
Try to extract through the ipaq 61x_91x_flex kitchen. This gives also an error, but it extract all the ROM files, including the initflashfiles.dat. Try it and tell me
ROM with RADIO you want, rename it to tg01.tsw
Rom you want to CHANGE radio,rename it to tg01ori.tsw
then,use cmd follow these codes:
Code:
tgtool -sp tg01ori.tsw original.os.payload
this command will split out OS from original ROM named as original.os.payload
then,
Code:
tgtool -mp original.os.payload tg01.tsw TG01WP_00.tsw
this command combined original OS and new new radio to a NEW ROM
Moin,
du hast ja das Radio 5001.0300.76 wohl schon ausprobiert: Wie siehts in Deutschland aus mit der Sprachqualität? Nur E-Plus oder auch andere Netze probiert?Für mich ist das 1700er Radio bisher am besten, aber vielleicht gibts ja noch was besseres..
Hi,
you tried Radio 5001.0300.76: What about the call quality in germany? Did you only test it with E-Plus or also other networks? Till now, 1700 radio for me works o.k, but there might be more improvements?
nice one, should be sticky.
Hello how i can make it work with T01A ROM (.tsd) i try just rename but dont work.
Hi,
It's very nice, I combined Nokser's work (WM6.5.x UPE[5.2.23569][+SPBMS][30/05/10]) and the radio 5001.0300.76 ...
...And I'm very happy !!!!
hiya iam a complete novice on this one could you please make a step by step method to change the radio in a rom like for ex. which program to open do i need to put this in a folder?
thanks in advance

I think i understand this... well i've managed at least....
i first read of this procedure here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653566
anyway here are my notes from splicing ROMs
firstly put the 2 ROMs you wish to splice togther in the same place along with the TGTOOL on your pc
file list
ROM1.tsw
ROM2.tsw
TGTOOL.exe
next launch cmd from your PC (note you'll need to run as admin if using vista/win7)
browse to the folder you have placed the above files in
eg
C:\Windows\system32>cd C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\TG01WP-WM6.5-Orange-UK\ROM Build
where the folder containing the ROMs is in a folder called ROM Build & i've put it on my desktop
CMD will now be pointed at the correct location
C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\ROM Build>
1st take out the OS from the radio you dont want to use by typing into CMD
tgtool -sp ROM1.tsw ROM1.nb0
tool will now run & complete above tasks
2nd you'll want to put the OS (that you've just extracted) with the radio that you DO want - type the following into CMD
tgtool -mp ROM1.nb0 ROM2.tsw TG01WP_00.tsw
tool will run & complete the radio/OS splice
the new ROM will be created in the same folder as ROM1/ROM2 & the TGTOOL
at the end the (totally amazing) TGTOOL will perform a check of the 'new' ROM for file consistancy & tell you if its ok to flash with it
once its finished proceed as per the instructions below
Copy TG01_SDDL+ to your 'Storage Card' & copy TG01WP_00.tsw into a folder named 'prg'.
next start your phone - browse to the storage card via windows explorer &
run TG01_SDDL+ and let it flash.
your battery must be fully charged & put the back (battery) cover on so that the battery can't fall out during the flash
hope i've explained ok......

Hi,
For those of you who already switched to the great ROM of Endless, you maybe have seen that your physical AZERTY keyboard isn't recognized on your favorite default language.
Here are the steps make your best wishes coming true (Based on the nightly 20110909 v3+ but should be functional on other versions) :
1/ Boot until you see your blue light and press "vol -"
2/ Connect your phone on your PC and go on tools>share system
3/ Unpack AZERTY.zip. Those two files come from the original sbf 2.2.2 from motorola (thanks to the great program unyaffs )
4/ Copy bin file to /usr/keychars and kl file to /usr/keylayout
5/ Rename qwerty.kcm.bin to qwerty.kcm.bin.old
6/ Do the same to qwerty.kl > qwerty.kl.old
7/ Rename umts_milestone2-keypad.kcm.bin to qwerty.kcm.bin
8/ Rename umts_milestone2-keypad.kl to qwerty.kl
9/ Unmount your filesystem
10/ Reboot and you're done
The next step is discussing with Endless to find a solution to link it to the language parameters to do it automatically
Hi, I will shortly upload an update.zip containing both azerty layout and stock contacts and mms apk, which have french support... I'll try to do this today...
Cet update.zip compatible CWM 3+ installe la disposition AZERTY du clavier physique, ainsi que les applis contacts (carnet d'adresses et téléphone) et mms en français .
Installez ceci à vos risques et périls !!! Faites une sauvegarde nandroid avant!!!
Edit : Here it is :

I'm backing up, I'll test it afterward !
Works fine ! Thanks Momus !

Hi,
Do you know how to disable popu for messages. In the english version i found it, but i don't know where to disable it in the stock version.
Kind regards,
What kind of notification?
Popup in status bar or toast (in a temporary window in the middle of the screen?)

Now the keyboard configuration is included in the rom, do you think you can repackage only sms and dialer ?
These two apps are already provided by Endless7 at the bottom of the first post, in CM7 thread. (stock_apps_cm7.zip)
You can install it the same way as you did for my former update.
