First of all i would like to ask you how can I install the greek language for sms and gps to my phone.I have already downloaded this file from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486162
but I did'n see any difference! (I already know it's for a dieffernet model).
Secondly I tried to flash the rom of my phone from CE OS 5.2.21734(Build 21734.5.0.20) to the latest update Ultimate iOmEgA WM 6.5 COM2 XIP SYS 21887
but an error260 CONNECTION came up so the the installation had to be canceled!
Please give me your best ideas
Thank you very much
very simple. Your phone is not a genuine phone, it is a fake Iolite
Indeed, you have a clone one, we can't do anything for you unfortunately...
There are threads here and there about fake HTCs, so you can gather information about what you can do with it, but DO NOT try to flash the roms made for the original phone, they will not work and it would result in a bricking of your device...
Keep in mind that the clones only share the look with the original, the hardware is totally different. You have a different processor, less ram, etc.
Good luck!
So everyone who has fake htc he cannot have the applications made for real one?
Are there any applications made for this fake phone? I'm really confused.
Roms are device dependent, so they cannot be exchanged between different devices.
Applications are not, and there are people trying to get the touflo from the original device to the clones.
There are also roms specifically made for the clones, but it looks like some features are gone with these upgrades, such as the scroll wheel.
And the roms for the clones are not available in many languages... Only chineese, english, and spanish i think...

"CPU 140MHz ARM9" good luck running android on 140mhz
You can have android theme on viewty though but not Android itself.
i thing e334 is right sorry
People are just starting to run on android on the hd2 and n900. Both are quite powerful so I doubt 140 mhz will do the trick

Size of grid/icon

I have sort of a weird question, but I am hoping someone who themes can answer this for me.
I am currently using GoLauncher and my grid size is 8 rows by 7 columns.
What I need to know is, what would the resolution be for each "square" of the grid?
I am told the screen itself is 600x1024, but that doesn't seem right... If I knew the right screen size I guess I could just do the math myself (assuming there are not spaces between each grid)
