Hi all,
I have found the following instruction all over the net:
Instructions:
1. First you need to roll back to the Nodo update.
2. Once in Nodo you are free to edit your phone’s registry values. Go to the registry editor.
3. Now, in the “Key” field enter this path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available
4. Then, set the “Name” field to the number of your desired language as provided in the list below.
5. The “value type” should be left as it is, and enter the name of your chosen language in the “Value” field.
6. Lastly, now you can upgrade back to Mango.
The Hack should work with every language as some reported that they have successfully hits Japanese and some other languages in their WP7 devices. So it is not too risky to try right? You can check the language number below, enjoy.

However this instruction does not work on any of my WP7 devices (no matter what version OS i run either). Since all of the instructions i found are underpinned with 'should work with any language' i would like to know if anyone actually has been able to get this thing to work.
In my case i am trying to change the 'display language' to Dutch.

Alternative T9 dictionary
1.
Before you carry out the ROM upgrade, open the file browser on your phone.
Enable it to see hidden files: Menu > Options > remove the checkmarks from "Hide hidden files", "Hide system files" and "Hide files in ROM"
2.
Find the T9-file here:
\windows\T9Romaniandb.dll
This is the Romanian file - choose the T9 with your own language of course (i.e. T9Romaniandb.dll).
3.
Copy the file to your storage card (meaning your MiniSD), as this will not be affected by the ROM upgrade/installation.
4.
Upgrade - follow the instructions in the top of this topic...
5.
After succesfull firmware installation/upgrade, make a folder named T9 under \Storage\Application Data\
6.
Copy the dll-file be backup'ed on the Storage Card to this new T9-folder.
7.
Now search and install some regedit program
8.
Now the system registry has to be edited.
Open PHM Registry Editor on your phone.
9.1.
Find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\T9 Input Method\MUI\Languages
Then choose to edit the string by selecting it and click on it - add ",0418" in the end. The comma (,) is important to remember! "0418" is the Microsoft code for Romania, so find the correct Microsoft code for your language somewhere
9.2.
Find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\T9 Input Method\LDBs
Then add a "String Value", and set "Value" = 0418 and "Value Data" = \Storage\Application Data\t9\T9romanianLdb.dll
Once again, the 0418 may differ in your case - and the T9romanianLdb.dll may be named T9GermanLdb.dll or T9ChtuluLdb.dll or whatever... I don't know all the languages, neither do I know their Microsoft code...
10.
DONE! Reboot the phone, begin writing an SMS. Press and hold * until the menu pops up where you can now choose your own language! icon_smile.gif
If your language is shown, but you can't write anything - you propably did something wront in 9.2

Re: YES you can you need to flash the phone with the HTC rom
Thanks for many tips. I have a question on this upgrade network bands. I just want to upgrade 850 to 900 so that I can use in Asia. If I use only English, can I skip the below section of Alternative T9? This will be a lot of work for my family to work on via oversea phone support from me. Please kindly advise

There is hardware difference in C500 and STM5600 which runs on 850. Difference is in switchplexer which in European models filters 900 and 1800/1900 MHz (Murata HA 165) and in STM 5600 (Audiovox) filters 850 and 1800/1900 MHz (Murata HA 216AW). You have to change switchplexer on the board if you want 900 MHz on Audiovox
Or HA 358 (EPCOS D1028) from Sony Ericsson K700... -> 900 Mhz
mendoza is right
Hi Guys,
i wrote a small C#-Application for updating SpbWeather (maybe it should work also with other Weather-Applications) despite Proxy-Restrictions (like Vodafone, o2 etc.). This program emulates a normal Wap-Browser (with an exact User-Agent) and downloads a Weather-html-File of your choice to your PDA. In combination with Pico-WebServer and some little tweaks , SpbWeather updates with this local file.
First of all, it is a beta program. Use this program at your own risk. I will take no responsibilities for malfunctions or/and unintentional data traffic (and costs). It should be working fine, but nobody is perfect.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, here is the Step-by-Step guide what you have to do:
1. Install the lastest Microsoft Compact .Net-Framework on your PDA (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...FamilyID=9655156b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55)
2. SpbWeather
You need a actual version of SpbWeather (it should be with working with other Weather-Programs too, e.g. HTC Weather or PocketWeather)
3. Download the SpbWeather-Template from Spb-Weather-Forum (or somethere else) you want to use. I attached a working template for www.wetter.com
4. Edit the Template-File and search the line "open_url(.......)" . Edit the value in the brackets to open_url("http://localhost/wetter.htm", "GET"); (the name of the .htm - file its your choice).
5. Copy the .tpl - File in the templates - Folder of SpbWeather and add a new City with this edited Template.
6. Install Pico Webserver on your PDA ( http://http://www.tucows.com/preview/200784)
7. Start Picowebserver, goto Settings and edit the Alias Settings. You can choose the default path of the webserver or you can choose another path. But remember this path, we'll need it. Now start the Server.
8. Ok, now you need the WeatherUpdater. Just copy it to a location of your choice and start it. Go to "Settings" and configure the Programm. There are five entrys you can edit.
a. WebServer:
Enter the complete url of the weather site and your town: (wich matched to the template you use for Spb Weather). In my case the Url is: http://www.wetter.com/mobile/wetter.php?id=43367&type=WORLD (enter wetter.com/mobile and you can search your town)
b. Local Web-Server
Enter the Path to the Root-Directory of your Picowebserver (see 6.)
c. Name html-File:
Enter the Name of the htm(l)-file to download...it must matched with the name you edited in the template-File (see 3.)
d. Update on Start:
Downloads the html-Weather-File on Programstart
e. Update-Interval:
Choose an interval for updating the Weather-html-File. You can chosse values between 1 and 1440 minutes. (1min - 24h). Remember, it produces data traffic you have to pay for (or you have a flatrate etc., that's your own risk)) In my example, one update produces 15kb of data traffic. Check various templates with less traffic (maybe less weather info).
With runnig Picowebserver and WeatherUpdater in the background, you can now Update SpbWeather every hour.
What do do next:
-----------------
a. It would be fantastic to integrate the webserver functionality into WeatherDownloader. But i've to check out how to make a Webserver in C#. Maybe someone can help me
Please report any bugs or wishes for further versions.
b. automatic installation with a cab-file and AutoStart functionality
c. HowTo for other Weather Programs like HTC Weather and PocketWeather
d. and many many more features

P.S: Sorry for my English

Screenshots in Progress
Nice release Pfischi, something I was looking for quite some ti...........well, forever
Not sure if this has already been covered in the forum, but if not, here's how you do it:
Full instructions are in German here: http://www.mobiflip.de/2009/08/orig...e-root-auf-dem-magic-installieren-und-nutzen/
Quick and dirty translation (links for apps/files in the original link above):
1. Install eoeAppInstaller or ATRO file manager (I already had the latter so that's what I used)
2. Copy HTC_IME.apk to your sd card
3. go to menu, settings, applications, and check the box to allow unknown sources
4. Launch eoeAppInstaller or ATRO file manager, go to HTC_IME.apk, click it and select install
5. When it's done, exit and restart the phone
6. Go to menu, settings, locale and text, you'll see a new option called touch input. Select the check mark and go into touch input options to specify preferences. Don't mess with the calibration option as this doesn't work on the magic (I tried, it just force closes)
7. To activate the keyboard, go anywhere where you need it, e.g. start an sms, then click and hold the text box, select input method, select touch input (you can change back anytime in the same way) and that's it!
Enjoy.

So...I have already updated to Mango (after many hacks and some problems courtesy of Microsoft's and LG's lack of communication), but I realized that my country's display language is missing. I found a hack here that involves the reverting of the OS to the previous one (NODO). Unfortunately, I did a format in my PC, so I lost the data for re-installing NODO.
Is there a way to re-install NODO or adding a display language without having to revert to NODO first?
Do the community a BIG FAVOR and SEARCH first....

How on earth could you re-install NoDo without first having to revert to NoDo????
1. You must Revert back to the very ROOTS (Factory ROM) (See end of Post for Info)
2. THEN to Pre NoDo/NoDo
3. Once you actually upgrade to NoDo
a. On your device, open the registry editor. (##634# menu)
b. GoTo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available]
c. Add a new string value for your locale, eg. Key "0413" on Data enter "Nederlands" and press SET , or see below for other languages.
16 Languages supported In Mango:
"0413"="Nederlands"
"0809"="UK English"
"0419"="Русский" (Russian)
"0405"="Čeština" (Czech)
"0816"="Português (Portugal)"
"0C0A"="Español"
"040B"="suomi" (Finnish)
"0409"="US English"
"0804"="中文（简体）" (Simplified Chinese)
"041D"="Svenska"

"0415"="polski"
"0412"="한국어" (Korean)
"0404"="中文（繁體）" (Traditional Chinese)
"0411"="日本語" (Japanese)
4. After you apply Reg Hack for additional languages, THEN Upgrade to Pre Mango/Mango

Google has a separate keyboard for Korean - you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.korean
Actually, the you can even switch the interface to Korean as well, but it requires a bit of command-line knowledge. My Nokia 6 is in Korean now:
could you explain how you changed the language with a bit of command line knowledge? much appreciated!!!

No problem. First, you need to download an app to change your language. There are lots of them on the Play Store - the one I use is MoreLocale: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
Since normal apps are not allowed to change language on Android, you have to grant them a special permission.
First, enable USB debugging on your phone. Assuming you're on Oreo, go to Settings > System > Phone information and quickly tap on Build number until a message that says "Congratulations, you are now a developer" appears. Then go to Settings > System > Developer options and turn on USB debugging.
Second, install ADB on your computer by following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Next, connect your phone with your computer. Open a command prompt window from where you installed ADB, then type this command: adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
Finally, open the app and tap on your preferred language. If it's not in the list, tap the three-dot button and choose Add locale.
This change sticks even after reboots and updates so you can delete the app. However, don't delete the added language from the language list in Settings or you'll have to add it again.
