I bought a Legend that has the Chinese/Taiwanese rom on it(Parallel import). It is in English but has a bunch of apps useless to anyone outside those countries that I can't uninstall.
How easy is it to change it to the, for instance, European version?
I`m assuming I would loose everything on it if I did that as well
Also, do these non-uninstallable apps take up ram that could be used for other apps or are they stored in a separate area?
Just go to the legend developer section on this forum... everything you need is there.

Hey, sorry if this has already been posted on how to change language, but i have some specific questions i would like to ask.
1) I bought the Touch HD from Taiwan and the language of it is Traditional chinese, i was actually thinking that it was an international phone and would have several languages to choose from... but apparently not.
How would i go about changing the language from chinese to english?
What would i have to do?
2) If i change the language, do i lose everything that is currently on my phone?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
You could just flash a new Rom, it will change the phone to that Rom and replace what you currently have, a lot of Roms have the same stuff just tweaked for better performance so you would not lose much.
That is assuming your not on a phone carrier plan of course, check out the different roms to suit what you want
This phone was bought outright so im assuming im not carrier locked (Kinda hard seeing as im in australia and it was bought in taiwan )
So i would have to use HardSPL?
There are two options to do it there are excellant directions for both in the ROM section I used HardSPL but the choice is yours
Sorry to bother all of you. After 80 plus hours i am close to give up and sell my HD2 or dump it.
Bought a "English HD2" in Shanghai. Found out its a old ROM with many problems. Downloaded the new ROM from HTC and got a traditional Chinese version and for sure I do not speak Chinese. .Means iI can never use or update the phone if i leave like that.
Started research, found a HK SN and and downloaded from HTC a Hongkong english version and installed it.
Installed the win frame work update to.
It worked but there is no phone keyboard anymore but now i can input in CHINESE! I need the phone keyboard I cant life with out one.
Found the EzInput soft key and installed several times, every time after installing it the phone wont start anymore and only a hard reset can bring it to life again. I made a soft rest before installing the keyboard.
Can any body help me with the keyboard?
Or any information where to get a NEW ROM which works in English but need to be able to show( not type) Chinese characters.
I am begging all of you, my eyes are red, my girlfriend is so upset that she went back to her parents and I had to switch back to my E75. SAFE me please
Rom version installed: 1.72.831.1 (82124)
OS: 5.2.21869(21869.5.0.82
Tow more glitches i can't fix.
Switched it on after hard reset. Now the time is wrong. 27 min wrong and i don't know why. I set the time manual now.
Location is most times wrong. I life in Shanghai and I am all times set in Shenzhen or Suli or somewhere elsei If i drive suddenly the location corrects to Shanghai
instal hspl2 and then you can instal any rom you like (over usb).
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately I am not a developer. If i follow what you suggested what happen? No rom software anymore? Where do i find the rom(cab file )i need?
Question
Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for your HD2 in Shanghai? Did you order it, or buy it there? Thanks!
You can probably get a better answer to your questions in the ROM Development section of the forum.

Hey Mate,
I have the Telstra HD2 which has loads of crap software, so all I did was run the HSPL (HERE: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433) and then found the Asia WWE (World Wide English) ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623283&highlight=WWE, it has the serial number for you to download directly from HTC.
I have been using the South East Asia (Asian WWE) 1.66.707.1, with no issues.
Hope this helps
Hello Xda members,
I just got my tattoo today and i found some problems...
First, i enable GPS on Locations (settings and let google find... blah blah)
but when i open Google Maps it says "connection lost, failure etc etc"
Second, when i kill all tasks, the remain memory is 92 MB..
is it so low ? or is a trouble here somehow??
Third, my phone status are:
Model Number
HTC Tattoo
Firmware Version
1.6
Baseband version
13.29.55.13H_3.35.07.20
Build Number
1.67.161.5 CL#74011 release-jeys
Software Version
1.64.161.5
So my fourth question for today is,
can i root and flash a custom rom in it?
'Cause i saw somewhere in this forum that not
all tattoos can be rooted and flashed...
Thanks in advance
Also do i need a goldcard to root my htc tattoo?
for google maps you need internet, for real gps try other program such as igo or andnav2... :-??
the question with the rom search the forum, especially the How to flash section...

Don't kill all tasks. Eg, if you kill clock, you have no alarms to wake you up. After all, RAM is invented to cache everything for fast access and to be full, not empty. What use of it if you don't use it
For flashing custom ROM questions, please search this forum.
thanks a lot my friends for your advices, i ll search for it and never kill all tasks again

Im wonder its a way to install locked region apllications to other regions?
im want install Youtube 8,Flixter,Vimeo, iCookbook and Slacker Radio and im cant because they dont exist in polish shop any idea?
Are they actually region-locked, or just not available in your language? Open the Settings charm in the Store, Options, turn off "Make it easier to find apps in my language".
If the above doesn't help, then go to Control Panel>Clock and Regions and choose Region tab. Set your region to whatever store you need, ie USA and click OK.
Reload the store and the apps you want will be available for installing.
I have done this for a number of apps. Two things to remember though, set the region back to your own when finished and if the app requires a country specific service like Pandora it may not work. I am in the UK and it will not work for me.

I'm a serious noob. I din't know what is ROM or HSPL before today. I just got a gift, HTC Touch2 which has Italian as default language. Now, I need to change it to English. I know I have to flash my phone with Eng ROM, but here is the problem. My idea about flashing, HSPL, ROM are not clear.
Can someone be kind enough to give me brief suggestions to do it and explain the process briefly..
Also, there are thousands of ROMs avaiable in the forum, but all are somehow customized. I need a fresh official ROM which won't change my phone anything except the language. All links in the HTC Thouch2 ROM database (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578915) are dead! So, where do I find such kind of ROM?
Thanks in advance
You don't need to change entire ROM just for languag change. I say, look in the book, there'll be something about it. Every official ROM comes preloaded with several languages. Try fidgeting around in the settings. You'll find some option.
Thanks, but that wasn't useful

I have visited every settings in the phone and I'm pretty sure that this ROM has no option to change language.
First try going to Settings -> System -> Regional Settings and changing it to English (country). It "may" work for you, depending on the ROM you have currently.
Otherwise, you'll have to flash an English ROM onto the mobile
