Hi,
I really like all the Android builds that use the Desire ROM as I really like the HTC Sense. However, my language isn't really supported there (The fonts exist but the formatting is bad).
I have some files that should fix the formatting, but they are meant for the original HTC Desire and are installed by going to the ROM Manager/Recovery Mode and then choosing an option called: "Install Zip from SD Card".
Since I can't go to this ROM Manager nor get into Recovery mode with the HD2 Builds I am looking for an alternate way to change the system files on the Android build I am using.
The thing is that I am having difficulties doing so.
At first I tried using EStrongs File Explorer to get root access and copy over the new files I want to change but it gave me an error that it failed.
After I couldn't make it work I started looking for ways to open and edit the system.ext2 file in Windows.
I couldn't find any program or driver that would let me change the files, but only view them so I decided to install Linux and do it from there.
I used VMware workstation to install Ubuntu on my system.
On Ubuntu I mounted the system.ext2 following the mentioned instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8001443&postcount=8
It mounted okay but it said there was 0 bytes free when I tried to overwrite the files I wanted to change.
In addition it gave me permission errors, the error was that I did not have permission to copy the files.
I am not that familiar with Linux and I tired googling for answers but couldn't find anything useful.
I would appreciate if anyone can explain how to do it, or direct me to somewhere with more details as I'm kinda stuck at the moment.
The files I wanna change are:
/framework/framework.jar
/app/.DS_Store
/app/Gallery3D.apk
/app/Mms.apk
And a few font files to /fonts
Thanks a lot!
It is best to mount the ext2 file as you suggest but instead of trying to modify the file, copy the contents into a new folder and use the genext2fs command to recreate the system.ext2 file!
Hey man, it worked perfectly.
Thanks a lot!!
By the way, is there a recommended file size for the system.ext2? Or should I just keep the original size?
Is it worth setting it bigger? Will it benefit somehow?

Read the rom thread you are using.it probably has instructions, on applying files.
Hi,
I am pretty much new to this forum so please excuse me if I have not made an extensive search. I have an HD2 device running Win7 NoDo on nand and a MIUI build on SD using MAGLDR 1.13.
Can someone please explain how I can install an english language pack for the MIUI build? A lof of the settings in the build are in chinese and that is really frustrating. Do I have to install Clockwork recovery? and will that erase my Win7 installation?
It's better to ask this in the ROM thread you're looking to install for better support.
Thanks, but the issue is i can not post in the thread section yet so had to post here. :-(

Noone knows?
http://htcfanboys.com/index.php?app...§ion=download&do=confirm_download&id=232?
after downloading this multilanguage pack unrar it in system folder delete build.prop. then in your miuirom find update folder, make a folder 'root' in update folder. then copy the content of language pack (meta-inf and system) into the root folder you just made. reboot phone. then select your language.
I think I've uninstalled live wallpaper stock app, I want it back for my x8 don't want to reflash , plz someone upload. thanx in advance...
you can download modded stock rom from development section and take the livewallpaper.apk then push it to /system/app/
don't forget to reboot your phone
thanks +1 , but how to extract the apk from that rom ?
just extract the ROM and there will be 3 folders (data,META-INF,system)
browse to system > app folder, there's a bunch of apk files
just take the LiveWallpaperPickers.apk then push it to your /system/app/ folder on your device
let me know if it solved your problem
well that's what I'm asking, how to extract the rom ?
just download the ROM that you're using (ex : update-GingerDX.v007.zip)
extract update-GingerDX.v007.zip isn't that simple?
i attach the apk from GingerDX.v7, try it and report if it works
thanx, but i'm using stock rom, And the file you gave me earlier is working fine, I had to push it to system/app
and then install it..
thanx
No need to install,just push it to /system/app/ and restart
So it solved your problem? Good to know
well i pushed it to system/app and restarted but no luck, then I had to install it...
