Hello,
I am desperately seeking a way to make my German Xda Diamond English!! I've been told by O2 Germany that they cannot do this but he hinted towards a way in which I can switch the software myself but that it wasn't exactly legit. At this point I don't care if my warranty is voided, I'm hardly using the phone to its full capabilities because I don't speak a lick of German (yet).
Help??
What's about flashing an English ROM?
I'm really not technical AT ALL! Can you explain (in detail) how I would do that? I don't even know what a ROM is.....
Please read in Diamond Section in Forum. There you can find all you need (Software, Tutorials, Roms,...) Here is the wrong place for such questions

I had known about the poor translator.
Now I say to you all directly.
Many Chinese from xda.cn and members in here had seen the HD2 WP7 Video. From this video, we can find out 2 call number. One is 1860XXXXXXX and another is 1362XXXXXXX. My friend had called the number 1362XXXXXXX, and that person (maybe video recorder) said the HD2 WP7 ROM has many problems and if you install it and then you cannot return to WM6.5. So he dose not publish this ROM. I really don't konw whether this reason is true or false. I still believe that person is kindness. I am very glad for having communicated with him. We can call him again in a suitable time. I believe he can do more things about HD2.
Thank you.

Is he an English called the chinese then wrote down what he could understand ? or is he a chinese guy called the ROM's developer and asked ?'s then translated it to english for xda members for some reason ?
What I could barely understand is that we shouldn't be asking about the rom and it still have some problems (i.e can't reverse to WM 6.5 after flashing WP7) as well as we should await patiently

I would like to include many Chinese, global HD2 lover has seen the video WP7 HD2, we may safely from video found in two Chinese operator's phone number, my friend by dialing the number, 136 video of stakeholders dialed shooting and asked about WP7 situation. Each other and say, at present the ROM problem is still very much, and installation of the ROM cannot return, maybe this is a businessman use means, but I still does not have sufficient reason to doubt that I will still believe because ROM itself and cannot release that we will continue and video related the makers of the contact, get more frontal information. I hope the ROM development as to reduce commercial interests and conflicts. Hope everybody can await patiently. Thank you!

I tried to run that through Google Translate by translating it from Chinese to English and the translation came out exactly the same??
Maybe the original post was not in Chinese?
At very begining, I believed the translator can do it very well.
But I was wrong. So please accept my apologize.
oh understand！ thanks for your provide information
Basically he and other Chinese individuals who are interested in WP7 on the HD2 have called a number asking for more information and have been told that the rom has issues, not least of which is that you are unable to restore a wm6.5 rom to the phone if you decide you dont want WP7 on it anymore. Still very much beta.
Maybe you can call him again and tell him to release his rom so the genius here work it out
We dont want wp 6.5
O que o palerma do chinês queria dizer, é que o chines que instalou o windows phone 7, está fodido, ficou com um telemovel a servir de pisa papeis.....e quem tentar instalar o windows phone 7 além de não ter utelidade porcausa dos erros, não podes reverter para o windows mobile 6.5
ficou entendido?
Translation:
What the chinese man want to say is : if you try to install the wp7 build you will be a stone paper on your desk =)

First, I think we should thank Luoyong for sharing this information with us. I am quite interested in just how the person in the video got the ROM on the HD2. Was it similar to the usual method of updating a stock ROM, or flashing a cooked ROM? One also wonders if something more esoteric like JTAG had to be used. Or, did the person somehow get his hands on one of the HD2s that was used as a testbed for WP7 in its earlier stages of development?
Hopefully, with more information, and more understanding, those naysayers who keep saying all of this is fake will be silenced.
Once again, thanks to Luoyong for sharing this information with us. I look forward to reading more information about this subject from Luoyong, who obviously is a reliable source.

Or, perhaps, considering the nuances of being more diplomatic, one could suggest collaboration.

I think everyone else in this thread is talking about WP7, and not talking about what should be correctly identified as Windows Mobile 6.5

There is no WP 6.5 but if you are not able to get back to Windows Mobile 6.5, i mean to install a stock ROM, you can also throw your phone into the dustbin at today dev status with WP7.
The developer from the video could get in contact with the guys from xda. Then a working WP7 ROM on the HD2 is possible, very soon

On xda.cn we can find a WP7 theme software on WM6.5 mixed ROM. I let someone flash this rom. The desktop is similar with WP7. But call interface and more others are WM6.5's. At the same time I was seeing this video. In the video, many functions and opreation was not like WM6.5. I really don't know whether the operation is WP7 or not. Maybe it's a flash sofware? But she really call abother phone to show WP7 calling.
Before this video anouncement, HD2 price become increase. From 2 months ago the pirce has increase from 2600RMB to 3100RMB. On xda.cn someone has guessed the relation between the video and price.
One hand, if this video is not true, of course ,we don't know how to realize this effect by a false method agaist ROM flash. Surely it's likely to explain that the business man didn't want to share a false method and this result will impact HD2 phone sale.
On the other hand, if the HD2 WP7 ROM is true, I believe he had not reasons to protect this rom from us. Because businessman and we are not know each other. So QQ team and I will do our best to try to contact with him to make clear this information and release his concern. We hope he or she can publish this ROM for us and we can support he or she to complete HD2 WP7 ROM.
By the end, I am from China and I had using PPC->WM for 5 years. I am willing to help us to resolve this misunderstanding. Thanks all a lots and Chinese are friendly.
I call the video recorder just now.
I am very sorry to tell us that HD2 WP7 ROM is not true.
In this calling I am very pleased to ask about whether the ROM is true.
And he quickly said two words “假的” (in English it is "false"). Suddently he droped the call.
I really don't know how to simulate so truely.
I am so disappoint about it.
So xda-developers and xda.cn members need work hard by another method. Maybe Russian can help us.
So I am very sorry again in the name of Chinese.

Hi Louyong,
You are welcome, Louyong
Perhaps it is a bit easier for me to understand the situation, as I have been in contact with a few of you guys in China, and the fact that I am one of those guys who has spent most of my life in Asia. I did hear about the prices of the HD2 rising there, which seems odd to say the least, especially with the release of WP7 coming soon there. Already in Taiwan, both CHT and Taiwan Mobile are selling English UI versions of two HTC WP7 phones, so I do not think the price of HD2s will rise here. From Taiwan Mobile, one can buy an HD2, without a contract for about NT$13,000. I expect that price will drop again soon.
I really do appreciate your efforts in getting to the bottom of the whole situation. Unfortunately, there were a few impetuous individuals on XDA-Developers who were, shall we say, disrespectful to an extreme. This threatened to cause increasing misunderstandings between East and West, and XDA-Developers and XDA.CN.
Fortunately, there are guys like you who are really cool, so I think the situation will not escalate any further. Again, I, for one, really appreciate your efforts in getting the definitive facts of this situation.
Just think what could happen if the top developers of XDA-Developers and XDA.CN got together to collaborate!
Again, thanks for your efforts in this situation. I know there are many decent, good people on XDA-Developers who will also appreciate your efforts.

That was fast work there, Louyong. It could be that he has an HD2 that was used as a testbed for WP7, as some of the UI did look like earlier UI prototypes. As far as I know, there are a few HD2s floating around that were used for WP7 testbeds.
Maybe we will never know now the real truth about that video, but you are right, it looks like it will be others who finally port WP7 to the HD2.
Well, it does not really matter that the information was not happy, what is important is that you gave us the correct current situation, and thanks for that.
Hi I am from XDA Chinese website,
My English is not understand,
A little Chinese English, please forgive me, ha ha
welcome to the English side of the world!
there's always google so no problem there, I use it in wechat (weixin) to chat with some chinese friends that can speak english but sometime the translations are funny or mixed up.
So what do you have for us that comes from the XDA Chinese site & oh do they have any custom ROM for the Jiayu G3 & hopefully the Jiayu G4 :fingers-crossed:
I just bought my first ever Android device. This SGY is far not the best ever phone, but it was cheap and I kind of see it as a toy :laugh:
I wonder how to have a cROM with my native language? All cROMs I can see here are in english. This is doable but not convinient. There was already a thread with a similar question but the answer is unreadable and the link isn't working anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676042
Is there a "change language in cROMs for dummies" somewhere - or can we create one here?
regard,
crunchy
Translate the ROM
there are many guides over CDA to help, not too hard too

somehow it is hard. Most things shown in google are related to music CDs or a political party in Germany. If I add "android" it tells me how to play CDA music on android phones.
I don't think this is what I am looking for.
But "translate the ROM" helped. I found this thread here
jBART - BurgerZ Android ROM Tools --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736409
I will have a closer look at this.
Thank you.
If anything better is around (or jBART not working for Galaxy Y) please let me know. Thanks.
