Need help upgrading to Chinese ROM from English

Hello,
I found a lot of random posts about upgrading Wizard from English ROM to Chinese, but i can't find a comprehensive one for beginners.
The thing i want to accomplish is to be able to read CHT file names, CHT song titles, view CHT websites etc. The OS itself doesn't need to be CHT, in fact, i prefer it stays in English. What's the most straight forward way to get this result? (some kind of language pack like in Windows XP?)
If I end up having to change the OS from English to Chinese, will the hard reset feature continue to work (restore the CHT OS to a clean state, rather than restore it back to ENG OS)? Can someone point me to a comprehensive post about how to step by step change from ENG OS to CHT? I have the unlocked Cingular 8125 phone.
Thanks a lot

I have a self-cooked .CAB file that can bring a WWE device into CHS compatible (with CHS display and Chinese Region selection for IE) without the needs of ROM-Upgrading, but, although it can display traditional Chinese character, it's not CHT.
to find CHT rom, you should go http://bbs.pdafans.com where you can find many thing you want.

Anyone really flashed and use this ROM? Any review?

Can you show some pictures?

Lol, I love your nickname I have to try this ROM, only because of your name when I have my blackstone back, I'll test it
Greets, cad^^

Once again thank you so much for your work!
Just want to clarify, any Chinese input originated from Taiwan Rom in this version? I understand there no Chinese input originated from HK Rom yet, and I'm absolutely looking forward to such version.

Watch out for my upload now ... it has T. chinese input ...

Hi all,
I quite like the ROM since it is very close to stock. However, in version 1, when playing MP4 files in Album, the screen is blank. Is this fixed in version 1.1?

Hi all,
Tested. Same problem with version 1.1. Blank screen when watching MP4 videos in Album. Hope this can be resolved. With Chinese input, it's cool since I am learning Chinese too!

Hi there,
Also, the Home and Back keys don't work when in Manila. It will be great if you can fix this. Solution at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493114
Thank you!

This is great to have a rom in chinese version. Is it possible to make the chinese input method in a separate cab?

Hi Somesex,
I want to commend you on a great ROM. The inclusion of Chinese support in a WWE ROM is great! Furthermore, this ROM looks like the stock ROM and seems speedy after a few tweaks with HD Tweak.
For me, it runs faster than Duttys 2.9 ROM that I was running. Thanks again for the great work.

Can the original HTC stroke input method be extracted and make it a CAB files? It can be very handy for people who loves to test with different ROMS.

It could be usless as it conflict with original HTC english IME.

[put language here]GUI/OS to ChineseGUI/OS

Hi there,
i searched here in the forum but most of the threads i found for my problem didnt really answer my questions or they where not specific enough.
I got a X1 (bought it in Germany), i want to change the OS language to chinese. I want to give this phone to a chinese friend of mine.
Most important would be:
1. Change the GUI in Chinese
2. Chinese input methods (reading/writing)
3. Stable and fast would be nice^^
Actually i want to change the whole phone like its a x1 bought in China
What i understood is that the Hong Kong x1's comes with integrated CE-Star and a chinese GUI.That sounds as the easiest approach to my goal.
Anyway, what would be the simplest way to get this done?
As i am pretty new to all this..please dont bomb me with too much technical stuff. A brief description or a FAQ or something else would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your help and patience.

Look in the ROM section and flash a Chinese (CHT?) rom, like Jack's?
I think (looking at the way you ask the question), you haven't flashed a rom before. I recommend to read the sticky's in the rom section first, so you know what to do. In short:
1. HardSPL (if you don't know what that is, read this)
2. Flash ROM via windows (X1_customRUU), or SD card method

I wil check it out. I shlould be able to do that.
I mean i checked some other threads, but i had no idea where to start.^^
Thx for starters and a fast answer...

For the Chinese rom, I recommend hylu's WM6.5 because it is stable and include Chinese input method like Zhuyin and Changjie
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501949
About the CE star, X1 selling CHT and ENG version in Hong Kong. The ENG version will include CE star(seem with reg key) but CHT version will not include.
If you flash English rom, you can also install some plug-in then your English rom can display Chinese word and typing Chinese by using Zhuyin and Changjie
Here is the Chinese plug-in
http://www.studiokuma.com/wm/?section=support
Are your friends using simplified Chinese or traditional Chinese?
Hope I can help you.

If you want stock rom, check the rom section for CHS (simplified Chinese) or CHT (Traditional Chinese).
For custom CHT rom, I heard hylu's is quite good. For custom CHS rom, you may want to take a look at it168.
Mine is just English w/ CE start built in.

Hi there
so i managed to Hard-Spl my phone. I am having a tough time now...i dont know which rom i should use.
Preferably a CHS rom. So i am thinking i should either hylu´s or jackleung´s.
What do you guys think? I am really not sure what features are good or not. There are some where i dont even understand what this features might bring ^^
Anyway, the phone has not to be super highly customizable. Anyway, all i want in the end is a phone running in all chinese (simplified) and some nice features and some customization...
I hope you can help me make my choice. Thx in advance

How can i input a chinese display and input in english ROM?

i try to use the differet rom on my pro 2, beacuse the offical rom is so slow
i hear some method can display chinese and input on the english rom, how can i do or found the information??
help me please~

i have used cd star to input and view chinese (apparently once you install the software, it installs the font so you can read chinese). I used it on WinMo 6.1 and have not yet install in my tilt 2 yet (but will do it soon) so I presume it will work without any issue.

i need the Traditional Chinese anyway thanks for your help

use the font from Hong Kong official ROM.
It supports CHT almost perfectly. but remember you have to change your regional settings to Chinese(Taiwan) or Chinese(Hong Kong).
E-Mail me if you want a cab.
For the Chinese input, tell us which IME you use.

anyway
its same
安装那个我提到的雅黑字体
那个支持繁体显示
只要能支持繁体输出显示之后
繁体输入的话,随便安装你喜欢的繁体输入法即可.

in this , http://ricky119.com/chinesesupport/ ,you can find many useful resources , Chinese(Asia Language) support for Non-Chinese ROM
of course it support both CHT and CHS

final jzhyok give me a method to slove problem , it is good method!!!!!
thanks so much all of you!!!!!!^^

This is what I always use....very small and works really well (it adds support for Japanese and Korean characters as well)
http://www.studiokuma.com/wm/?section=support
I dont really need the input method so I just use the Droid.cab only. You can try them out

thank you
I got my Tilt 2 today. i am still learning how to install the softwares on my cell phone. thank you guys for your advices on this forum.

Extract chinese font and Imput method

Is is possible to extract the Chinese Font and input method from the Official HKCSL_WWE ROM? (CSL is a phone company in Hong Kong)
I am using the Offcial HKCSL_WWE ROM on my Pure now but I would like to use some nicely customize ROM find here.
The only only problem is I need Chinese. I wish I can put the Chinese font and input method to some cooked ROM.
Thank you for any reply,

From my experience with it so far, not really. The input has not been successfully installed on top of any of the existing cooked roms.
You will have to cook your own rom using HK CSL CHT input. I have not seen any of the cooked roms on here providing the CHT input.

yup...probably like what you said..

These are the cabs I use to get Chinese display on my Topaz. Seems to work fine with the new manila. First, I install the font cab, then without rebooting, install the NLS cab. Then reboot. Sometimes it takes 2 reboots to get working, but so far so good. These cabs only provide support for viewing Chinese, not typing it. You'll need to find something else for that. There are several input methods floating around on xda if u look.
Good Luck

i use ricky 6.5 chinese cab too. [tho i edit the cab and put another font in it, cuz the one ricky had was bold and i didnt want bold ^^;]
heres the procedure i use everytime i flashed a custom [energy] rom::
1. install TF3D2.Chinese.Taiwan_20090917_xmatrix.cab [by xkaiser] to convert most words to chinese. no need to reboot after install. n u will notice most things r displayed as squares now [install this if you want your manila to display in chinese, proceed to #2 if installed, if not installed, no need to do step 2]
2. IMPORTANT copy the files in smsfix.zip to \Windows root folder [this is because the language pack deleted the sms notification files, so if you dont add these files back, you will not receive any sound or vibrate when a new message comes in]
3. install RickyMSYH6.0Full__.cab follow the installation and soft reset when it asks to reset
4. install HTC Rhodium A4 IME V2.8 WVGA.cab [this is a chinese input that im currently using, it was designed for a touchpro2, so the keyboard is pretty much alike as the one we are using. tho... this one doesnt have handwritten input :[ ] this software is in simplifed chinese, but it works fine with typing traditional and hong kong characters
i dont know if installing these cabs will have any side affects though, i have no problem with it. been using them for awhile now, and they work with all the energy roms ive flashed [including the latest topaz 2011 build]
do it on your own risk :]
i zipped and uploaded the files i used

What everyone is saying is that even if you successfully extract the files, you couldn't install them into a cooked ROM. You would need to create your own ROM and add the chinese input when you cook it. I have tried some cabs in XDA that claim to let you use the htc chinese input and fonts, but they never worked for me. In fact they totally screwed up my phone and I had to hard reset.
That being said, you could (potentially) dump the rom you are using, then import it into a kitchen and cook your own custom ROM. There are lots of cooking tutorials on this site if you look around, but be prepared to invest considerable time and energy into the learning process. And to be honest, I think the other viewing and input methods listed in this thread are superior.
Just my 2 cents.

The display problem is very easy to fix. There are many fonts out there that work on Manila. If that's what is being looked for, I think some solutions have already been posted in this thread.
However, if you're trying to get the original HK CSL HTC CHT IME installed, then I am not aware of any solutions yet.

I have successfully installed this Chinese IME (official ezinput) on the NhatHoa ROM using 23529 and manila 2011 3030. I did first install Chinese fonts and a NLS cab... (u can look for my post earlier in the thread.)
Seems to be working fine so far. Better backup before you try it though. I have heard it cant be uninstalled very easily.

thanks for the heads up. now, after the install into a WWE ROM, will one still be able to input Chinese or English by switching the keyboard/input method or something?

Actually can use both English and Chinese directly with a keyboard button and also by changing sip... working great so far. Also both English and Chinese dictionaries seem to be working ok.
