Hi,
Can someone point me to procedure or guide how to take stock rom fromthe unit and just addnadditional interface language.
Thanx,

Well, you are still looking?
Ok, I popped open a rom, and what I saw, was in the /system/usr/xt9/databases/ldb, were ldb files in multiple languages. (LanguageDataBase)
My guess, is that this is part of the multi-system language based on region.
So my guess, is that if you find a rom (any rom), that contains your regional language, you should be able to copy that Ldb file, into the custom rom zip, and let it re-compress the zip file, then try flashing it. This may give you the language support you are looking for.
It's a guess for me, but, it may work. Maybe something else is needed.
I have a feeling, finding a custom rom in Croatian, will be extremely difficult. So, sometimes, you have to do it yourself. Find your regional HC 3.2, and unzip it, and look inside.
Hi,
Thanks for reply.
I found out that motorola Xoom latest stock rom has Croatian language built in.
Would it work to copy ldb file from it or there will be issues since it is for another device ?
Thanks for tutoring but this are my first steps

Usually, we don't copy files from a rom other than acer. Not without doing a recovery backup first.
It's possible you will be ok. I think at the most, it will force close, or reboot. Or, it may work. I would be interested to know.
Also, you may want to take a look around and see if there are other files that may be linked to language. I was just lucky finding what I found.
I guess it will all depend on if the zoom ldb uses the exact same format as the Acer roms. 50/50 chance.
Seems I have found additional info on changing to a different language. Hope you want to learn a little programming

hy all. i have a problem (wish): i want to install a clean rom ( i have it allready) and i want to customize it with the programs that i want to, and then, to save this rom (i supose that i have to dump it and reconstruct it) exactly with my settings/applications/etc. can i do that? if I can, how? thx alll.
When you customize your polaris on the device itself, it doesn't change the ROM on it. So dumping it will not give you a new ROM. You'll have to change the ROM on the desktop, and upload it afterwards. There are a lot of topics about ROM building.
ok. thx. i will go then to that topics. thx.
Yes but the problem is that all those posts are about porting a 6.1 rom from another device to polaris.
Now that we have a 6.1 rom how exactly do we cook it and flash it back?
Here's my problem: I have the PTG 6.1 rom, but I want to replace the CF2 with CF3.5 and replace TTN6 with TTN7, and flash it back.
I already have Kitchen 1.3, extracted the 'RUU_signed.nbh' and a dump of 03_OS.nb.payload.
Now, where do I go from here?. I want a rom that's exactly the same as the official one but with the changes I mentioned above.
I'm a complete noob at this cooking rom issue. I've read lots of threads but I've only gotten more confused about all the XIPs, SYSs, OEMs and stuff, and I think the same happens with other users.
I know that some of the actual cookers were once in the same place I'm now, so can someone point me out the rigth way and if possible post a detailed tutorial on how to extract, cook and flash back a rom on POLARIS, me and lots of users would apreciate it a LOT.
Second That Thought.
What would be nice to see (if possible) the following,
as an example:
1. Download Polaris ROM Kitchen v1.3
2. Extract to c:\Kitchen
3. Copy your ROM image (*.nbh) to X:\
4. Run command
...20. Install Package (M2D.cab) by doing the following ...
21. Recombine the ROM by doing the follow commands ...
22. Flash your ROM to your Polaris
23. Hard Reset and verify that the package you installed is in your ROM
Congrats
A step by step like that, which walks a user though the process of a demo ROM and a demo *.cab for learning would be FANTASTIC!!!
Thanks in advance to whoever can help us out!
Juxtyce
bump.
Any help from the professionals out there?
Look here:
1. .Net2.0 => .net3.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2685138&postcount=22
2. replace the ttn.cab file in the folder "\kitchen.work\Build\OEM\OEMAPPS" with the TomTom7 cab. If it don't have the same name, rename the new cab or edit the file 'config_AP.txt' in the same folder
hope it will help you I managed it this way.
P.S. I didn't change the XIP as mentioned in the given thread. See following posts
I will dump the wm6.1 rom for you guys, and provide you with a kitchen with some packages you can use.
I will do so for all available languages that is available with official wm6.1
But,that is gonna be quite time consuming, and I hope that you understand that I ask this in return:
Any small donation for the time I use on that will be of help.
I dont say that its required, not at all. I am not doing this for money.
But the number of hours I spend on this is getting pretty high.
I will do this project either you donate or not.
cheers
thank you a lot itje. can you make in romanian also?
dunno if it's the good topic to post but let's try.
I see many fantastic people cooking excellent roms (i wish i could do the same...), and, in those roms, a lot of softwares.
Isn't it possible to just have a rom with the bare minimum?
and seperate cabs to install what you want?
for example, manilla 2d is cool, but many people like spb mobile shell better, so it's wasted memory.
May be i'm just wrong, don't understanding how it all works, so plz explain to me !

There is a large choice of ROM's, some loaded with extra's, some very minimally equiped. There are so many that your favorite must be out there already. Just search for it.
Hello,
yes, basically I am hoping someone could provide some information on how to create or at least modify a cooked a rom Like the Russian rom or the one from pdaclan specifically for the HP iPAQ 614c/612c.
I would like to make modifications to the existing 614c roms and re-build a flashable flash.dio. I've already bricked my iPAQ once and would like to avoid going thru that pain again.
I want to be able to do the following:-
1-
Example, the Chinese rom has a nice feature showing the battery status in percentage, I think thats the Windows\battdrvr.dll that is responsible for this, I'd like to learn how I can extract that file and integrate it with another Rom.
2-
The Chinese rom has some Chinese left overs so If I knew how I can rebuild the flash.dio, I could overwrite those file from the English one and fix the Chinese rom myself.
3- I would like to dictate what software I want to install as part of the rom.
I don't know where to begin, most of the information related to this PDA are either in Chinees or Russian and I am still a newbie.
I am sure if someone posts some tips, I can get started.
please share your knowledge, I am sure a lot of use would find this info useful.
Regards
Hi all,
Is there any possibility to add locales and languages in custom build ROM's? I know Haykuro and TheDude include additional locales, but JF isn't. How can I add them myself, is there any way?
got_Thai?
I'm interested in this as well. I believe it can be done without having to cook a new rom though. My interest lies in the Thai language and I found the following sites describing (I think?) how this can be done:
http://www.droidsans.com/content/hack-thai-display-t-mobile-g1-practical
http://g1daily.blogspot.com/2008/11/g1-install-thai-font-on-t-mobile-g1.html
I tried using google translate but the results didnt' help me much. From what I could make sense of, the how-to instructions are in the first link, and the file needed (maybe the fonts?) is in the second.
Anyways, if this helps at all let me know.
hehe i found this thread when I search on google how to add french language to my G1...
The emulator support french (and many others languages). I'm sure we can extract locales on the emulator and put them on the phone.. but no idea how to do that
I'm really interested in this too
I am in China, and have upgraded my snap into the 6.5 ROM. I have two questions.
1. But I still could not seek contacts via the 26-key keybords, only 9 keys (T9) could be used. I've tried to install "pinyin seek.cab", but it does not work. Is there any solution?
2. The Chinese font in snap was ugly. I've tried to change fonts on 6.1 ROM, but I could not manage it on the 6.5 ROM. I tried to install the msyh.cab (14 MB), but it does not work. Any solutions?
Thanks.
which rom have you flashed? My one is tmob dash 3g, i flashed 112509, it works well for me. under \setting\tools\keymap config, select the right one for your snap.
in order to display chinese, i tried several times, at last i found one way to solve it. install msyhfull6.0(15M) first, restart, then install msyh(4M) which is extracted from snap asia 6.5rom, restart again.

I flashed this ROM "RUU_Captain_SNAP_CHS_WM65_2.03.723.2_refry", but i could not find the keymap config at "\setting\tools\".
And could you share the "msyh(4M)" for me, thanks.
My Email is [email protected].
thank you!
http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=513815 Just click the link. 4Mmsyh, official asia rom(6.1?). Sorry, msyh(4M) is extracted from c720w rom, not snap's.
my one is dash 3g and the keymap is totally different with other snaps. so i flashed the "RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.50.112509.rar" cooked by ookba which has included all kinds of keymaps of snap. For me, it's enough to display and input chinese character. I don't care whether the UI is cn or en.
it's said the offical asia rom would go wrong if msyh is tried to be installed. maybe a rumor.
If you needn't chinese UI. I think you will be satisfied with the rom i have mentioned. It works stably and includes lots of useful tools. and also, i have fixed some bugs of titaniuweather.mrsc, if you need it, i can send the fixed file to you.

Thank you.
MSYH font have fixed, with a 14MB font pack and modification in the registry files.
There's no keymap config in my snap, maybe a new ROM should be flashed.
I've tried RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.00.101009 without Chinese display. So I flashed to a Asia ROM. I need further study in Hi-PDA, thank you!
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.
