Hi,
I am thinking of cooking my own ROM.
All I need to do is mixing two ROMs, nothing fancy.
Here is the situation I am in.
I am in Canada but I use my mother tongue a lot (most of my contacts are not in english).
So, I tried installing the Korean ROM from SKTELCOM.
However, there was a slight problem with the SMS (and possibly MMS but I don't use MMS so I am not sure) and internet/data (3G, Edge, etc, but I don't use data so I don't mind this bit - Wi-Fi is working).
The SK ROM uses a seperate application for SMS and the original MS SMS feature inside the message (where you can find your email accounts as well) is either disabled or removed.
And to use this application, I have to go through changing the formats of all contants I have.
Also, I can't use any SMS notifications that were made for the original SMS features (including the original WM notifications).
I am looking for a way to enable or istalling whatever to get the original SMS feature back.
So my question is,
Would it be possible to mix two ROMs, X1i-eng & SKTELCOM, to get basic phone features from X1i-eng and language and applications from SKTELCOM?
If so, could you help me do it?
I have read the tutorials for ROM cooking etc, but I am a little scared doing it.
If I were to go ahead and do it, should I base the SKTELCOM ROM and try to mix the phone features or should I base the ENG ROM and try to implement language and applications?
Any insights would be helpful.
Thanks.
In your situation, you probably don't need to install the Korean ROM. Since you say that you need your contacts to be displayed which are in Korean, you could just install a Korean font on a WWE(English) ROM. On top of that, if you need to be able to input Korean, you will need the appropriate IME and SIPs. There are CAB installers that will do what I've said. I would search them for you but I'm feeling a bit lazy
Thanks for the reply.
I know about the fonts..
But my main concern was the inputing part.
Where could I find IME and SIP for Korean input?
I've searched using "korean" but nothing much came up..
korean sms with UK OS
Hello,
I am facing a big problem, i just bought Xperia phone in Korea, then change the KR ROM into UK ROM, everything works well except the fact that i can't receive sms from abroad or sms using korean caracteres.
I would like to keep the OS in UK and be able to receive sms.
any solution? i checked on every messages posted, but no solution....
thanks in advance!!
update?
Hey dahanist, how's that ROM going? I'm in the same situation you are, so I'm hoping maybe you made some progress.

Because there was no Dutch WM6.1 ROM around for the Wings, I took the liberty of building one myself. It is based on Alcalines stable 6.1 WWE ROM.
The ROM is in Dutch and can be changed to English, although I do not really see the point in doing that myself
Download
here (Megaupload)
The ROM is splash screen and os only. You will need HardSPL / CID unlocked to be able to flash it. There is plenty of information around here how to do that.
Known bugs/issues
- Time zone is at GMT right after flashing. Go to Start > Instellingen > Klok en alarmsignalen > Datum en tijd to set it to the correct time zone, 'Nederlands'. You need to be there anyway.
- Battery meter on the home screen refuses to open power control panel.
- Phone band selection screen is still in English. -> fixed in version 3
- In-call menu doesn't contain text when set to Dutch.
edit 11/12/08: uploaded a new version with total commander and oxios hibernate included. Fixed a couple of mistakes (such as the IE homepage displaying an error).
If you have any comments or discover any things that I've missed, please let me know.
Hi spone1,
Looks really cool! I would like to do the same for Swedish. Can you give some instructions how to do it?
/Peter
petersa,
This is how I did it:
- Get a stable base ROM to build from (Alcaline's ROM in my case)
- Find a WM6.1 standard ROM that contains the Swedish language files (mui files)
- Copy them over to the base ROM
- Tell the ROM there are additional languages available (adding a MUI, making sure that the XT9 is set, for Swedish there might possibly a different keymap needed, don't know).
- Rebuild and flash, test
...
- Profit
Thanks!
Could you elaborate a little on the "Copy them to the base ROM" and "Rebuild and flash"?
If I find the MUI files can I simply just put them in the right folder on my S730 or do I have to build a new ROM and flash? If so, do you have any links how to build a ROM?
Sorry for all questions but I'm a newbie to ROM cooking...
/Peter
Take a look at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Vox, it is for the Vox but Wings is more or less the same. I would appreciate it though if you'd make your own thread from now on instead of hijacking mine
Nice try, but if I change the language to English I cannot use the keyboard. Always the FN is on, but the led is off. Strange.
Can you please be more specific? Where did you change the language? Regional settings?
edit: just tried switching the phone to fully US English with English time settings and such, and it works fine. But maybe I am testing the wrong thing. You might want to try an additional hardreset?

I have flashed the rom (very easy, allready had hard spl). After that the rom booted and I did go to the settings and changed the Regional Settings Language to English. After that I tried to setup an e-mail account, but that didn't work. Sending a SMS didn't work too, both times I couldn't get letters.
Ofcource I rebooted the phone several times, but didn't work If you need more info, PM me for Dutch
Thanks for your help spone1

translate xuque's last rom
hoihoi,
Can somebody translate the rom from this tread in post 4 to dutch?
If it is all about MUI files and one registry setting, than why is so difficult too made one international rom?
just asking, I'm totally no cooker, have tried it in the past, but it's too difficult for me. and I'm scared for f*cking up my phone.
groetjes,
Niels
What are the advantages over, say, Alcaline's ROM? Yes I know that some things are a newer version, but what makes it better and worth to spend my time on
NICE! Great job
Phone Functions missing
Hi Spone,
I've made use of your version and finally my 730 is stable and usable. Thanks.
But I now miss two functions to optional use during a call:
-Mute
-Speaker
Is there anything available getting these functions back.
HLN
Hmm, now you say so. As far as I can see something went wrong with the translation leaving us without a menu to use these functions. I'll look into it.
Concerning the mute function, probably not entirely the same but if you press the center button on the D-pad the call is put on hold.
edit: nevermind about that last thing, just read your PM
thumbs up
Great job spone!
Took the step this morning and flashed your rom. Works like a charm.
Besides a little lag at startup when inserting pin and a few English words here and there (e.g. at profiles) this is definitely the best solution for the Dutch S730-owners.
Thanks a lot

Hi Spone1
Your ROM rocks.... but I really miss the speaker option. Any news on this?

I've been looking at it, tried replacing files but it doesn't seem to pick it up
Currently I dont have the time to investigate it any further, I might in the future. Coming up with a possible new solution, editing, flashing, testing takes quite some time When you set the rom to english though, it actually does display the text. Anyone with a hint?
Great job!!!
My s730 is now a lot faster and its very stable!
Thank you very much
Greatings from Holland!
nice work
After waiting for a long time (put my fear a side) to update/upgrade my phone finally I did it and...... Install went perfectly! Next job, test this nice rom. to be continued ....

Yes indeed.
I installed it and was searching for the function, thought i was getting crazy.
Would be nice if this will be fixed, it's a real must have for your mobile.
Any progression Spone?
I am a "noob" so please don't jump all over me if it do this wrong or post in the wrong place. That being said and out of the way:
I am living in korea and bought my X1 a few days ago. I don't read Korean so well so i flashed an english rom to it. Everything seems to work fine except the messaging service. I can send sms out but i can't get any responses.
I know that SKT uses it's own sms service or something like that...
So my question is: Is there a way to change only the language of the OS and leave everything else the same?
I would like to keep the stuff that came with the Korean rom (sms service, korean dictionary the panels, etc.) just put the OS in english.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I want to buy a Touch Diamond 2 for brother in law who is Thai. He wants version that has Thai language.
Does anyone know which region version I should buy.
Normally, there is no any ROM that has Thai!
For Thai ROM is developed by Thai's web forum calls PDAMOBIZ.COM
But, it is still no ROM for Topaz, due to it very new.
However, if your brother in law can use english menu, there are some Thai company that sell Thai software calls ThaiWinCE and Thai-g (for me, now I recomended ThaiWinCE).
That you can buy from them via there homepage.
In the software, there will give you Thai input Keyboard, Thai Regional setting and make your WM phone able to read Thai.

There is also something called korechithai.cab that install thai fonts (and other south-eastern fonts I think) and basic WinMo thai input keyboard (to be used with a stylus, but it is better than nothing). I do not know if it is related to the ones mentioned in previous post (an earlier version maybe?), but afaik it is free, i did found it on Thai WinCE message boards. I installed it on my previous PDA, and re-installed it on my TD2. No compatibility issues, although the cab was for an earlier version of WinMo, it is still working nicely on 6.1 topaz...
It allows me to use free thai-english dictionary (there is also one hanging around, using the MDict engine), I will check during my next trip to thailand if it work for viewing thai characters in SMS in Touchflo and browse thai website...
But as the previous poster said, this will not change the WinMo menus, nor touchflo3D, not any pre-installed apps: those will remain in the language your Topaz came pre-installed with...which, in my case, is a blessing ;-)
Thanks for the replies.
I will try the korechithai.cab on my device later. If it is ok then I will just buy him a UK version.
I installed the korechithai.cab but now both my volume buttons & the call answer button no longer work.
Anyone have this problem & know how to fix it.

Strange, I installed it too and I do not have this problem...Have you soft resetted your TD2?
BTW, after expansion my korechithai gives different cab:
KbdChinese.cab
KbdKorean.cab
KbdThai.cab
korechithai4ppc.cab
SIPChange.cab
I installed korechithai4ppc.cab first (this gave the thai fonts, so I was already able to read thai words in my dictionary after this install)
then KbdThai.cab, this added the thai keyboard (classic WM keyboard format, so stylus-oriented, or can work with fingers...if you have very sharp nails ;-) )
I did not install SIPChange.cab, this one is not compatible with 6.1 (or so it says in the instruction). I think it is intended for deeper change (program shortcuts, maybe some OS messages or menus), things I had no intention to change anyway.
I you have installed SIPChange.cab, I suspect it is the origin of your problem. I would try to uninstall it, and if it does not work, only solution I see is a hard reset, then try the installation of korechithai4ppc.cab then KbdThai.cab only...

Is it possible to tell me where to download korechithai4ppc.cab of better still can you email it to me. I have tried but can't find it anywhere.
The korechithai.cab I downloaded from here http://my.opera.com/cameron_en/blog/2008/02/03/ime-complete-installation-files-download-section does not work properly.
For anyone who's interested I have found a fully compatible version of korenchithai4ppc.cab at this link http://sinocom.ru/index.php?topic=159.msg3006;topicseen as you can see it is in Russian but all you need do is scroll down approx 2/3rds of the thread & the link for rapidshare is there.
I just got a second hand Touch Pro and flashed an official 6.1 ROM obtained from htc.com on it. I managed to change a lot of the disgusting interfaces, but I couldn't find a solution for SMS and Contacts.
I was wondering, are there ways to somehow change the interface of those without flashing my ROM? I know apps like Easy Contact and stuff, but they don't seem to be fully replaceable (as in, Easy Contact will show up in the "Contacts" button in TF3D instead of the original Windows Contacts)
I know I'm asking for a question that I'm pretty sure everybody would ask. I swear though, I searched for the whole day but I could sadly find nothing related, so... help me out a little bit here?
Thanks in advanced!
sms to be
just search for sms skins i found some on this site the other day and they look way better
.

here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751

also it makes the phone alot faster with no lag
Thanks for the recommendations, but I don't think i really want to flash my ROM right now...
Are there any Contact skins?
Hi all,
I want to start by saying that this forum has been very helpful to my in customising my GT-I9000, and I want to thank you all for this help. I have had a Galaxy S for about a week and I am really liking the flexibility of this phone. But without your efforts, there would not be near as much flexibility.
So I have a question about language support across different firmwares. It requires a little explanation, so I apologies in advance if it is a bit too much text. I use linux a fair bit, but I am new to Android so I dont know many of the details of the system yet. I am a n00b, however, I want to show that I actually put effort into what I want to do instead of just asking for someone else to do it for me from the beginning.
I would like to have the ability to send SMS in Hebrew from the SGS native messaging software. I find no problem inputting in Hebrew using various Keyboards such as AnySoftKey. However, the sms is received as a series of question marks. I guess it is a lack of character support, probably somewhere between typing the text in Hebrew, and the phone transmitting it across the networks.
I could install a firmware from an Israeli network as they have Hebrew input on their firmware versions. However, these are not very up-to-date and I would rather use a newer firmware (I have JPX with Darky's Gingerbread 6.0 mod, which is very up-to-date ).
I want to take it step by step, so I think I should start with the Keyboard input.
AnySoftKeboard works well for Hebrew input, and the text it makes works in all apps except the Messaging app (although it looks just fine on my side). But Perhaps the Samsung Keyboard would work?
I have looked at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796854
It describes methods of porting Keyboards from one firmware version to another. This is specific to porting the Eclair keyboard to Froyo.
So I tried to apply this logic to my needs. But I have difficulties knowing which firmwares have Hebrew language input support, yet alone a keyboard that is compatible with JPX. I tried with the keyboard from firmware I9000JHJP8 (only one I am sure has Hebrew support), but the porting following the instructions in the thread did not work. I am sure with some trial an error (and probably lots and lots of error ) I would eventually be able to get it to work.
So before I start trying to get it to work, I would like to know if you think that changing the keyboard would make any difference, or, if the problem lays somewhere else?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Hey. I hate to bump this but its gone to many pages from the first.
I wont bump again as I guess there may be no answer for this question.
Still Should I bother trying to convert the keyboard as i suggested above?
