I've searched for this topic but came up empty.
Some system files, Align Screen for example, comes up with Greek letters in the title but English instructions. I have run Kaiser Tweak and Advanced Config at different times, but I don't see any utility to change the system font.
Any ideas?

This is a wery weak post, you dont include any needed information as ROM, phone, installed apps and so on. To try answer this blindly you can goto my cab corner and grab one of the font cabs I made and see if that solves it for you.

I have uploaded a greek rom file for the htc wizard.
This ROM has a second level of protection that can not be bypassed only by CIDunlocking a phone.
After installing the ROM, uppon second boot (first boot installs ext rom then restarts) it displays a message
"This rom is intended only for devices sold by ace hellas" and freezes.
I think it searches for a valid IMEI range but I am not sure.
I am trying to find the exe file responsible for locking up the phone (using WM5 editing tools my maimach) but I have no luck yet. If someone could lend a hand I would be gratefull. Even giving me a hint (like how to edit the registry from a dumped ROM etc.)
Anyway, the file is located here.
http://dcom.teipir.gr/RUU_Prodigy_10107105_Qtek_WWE_ship_GR1.04.exe
Thanks in advance
Below, you can find instructions to customize smartdialing for recognizing characters for any language
My best man has the EXACT same problem with his Universal.
We haven't uploaded the firmware yet but can easily be downloaded through qtek.gr.
Can someone help?
It's a pitty not to be able to use the device just because he bought it outside Greece.
It's an interesting challenge after all.
Andrew, maybe you can send me a PM with what you have tried yet.

Check your Extended_ROM files. They might be what you are looking for. Probable workaround might be soft-resetting your device before extended_rom files are being installed, i.e. hard-reset your device now and immediately soft-reset it when you will see message "Customizing will start in 3 sec..." or something like that...

The IMEI is stored in registry within "RIL" branch, but your IMEI is not touched within traditional flashing/reflashing
A Russian fellow had done this job last year, for the S100 Greek Rom (Anansky i think was his name). The lock is not on the extended rom, but on the main OS. And if i remember well, it has an IMEI checking ytility, and another one which checks Language settings for the Language selection utility to work, but this can be changed with registry hack. Well, we are all waiting...

no it's not in extended ROM at least for the Universal (and sorry for posting in Wizard forum) - we tried your method from the first moment
1. No, extended rom has nothing to do with it , for sure.
2. Yes, anansky has done it before for the htc magician (my previous phone) but never revealed a howto.
@NLS
I have found a suspicious file called langbootcheck.exe which I tried deleting (with WM5 edit tools) prior to flashing my device. But then the device won't boot at all. Maybe this file is needed, or maybe I did something wrong?
If someone could at least tell me, how to edit the registry hives with the wm5 editing tools. This way I could see wich applications are executed on startup.

Did you try to play with HKLM\Comm\BootCount value? To put it as 0 so it is always thinking of a just hard-resetted device?
no I didn't try that, nor the device is mine (to try)
andrew try having a 0 byte file in place of the exe - maybe it needs the file to be there but nothing to happen when it is called
maybe Ace (since I am 99.5% sure that they read xda-developers), could give us a hint on why they have done this (when nobody else did on the whole planet)...

No, but it sounds like a good idea. That would explain why it doesn't lock up during the first boot process. But then again there is no way to change it because the os automatically reboots itself. Unless it installs a cab file from ext rom that does the trick. Do you think this might work?

i realy doubt it! I mean giving us a hint
I will try to replace the file with a zero-sized one. But then again I'm not even sure if it is the file responsible. I mean, that I just guessed (because the name sounded suspicious). It could be any other file. The file name could be desguized. Thats why I need to know 2 things:
1) How to edit the registry with maimach's WM5 editing tools.
2) Where is the startup configuration located i the registry
I didn't say tell us "how", I said for the to tell us "why"...
anyway...
Yeah ACE sux, well it's been really disgusting to lock the roms so we anyone who want Greek language to buy only from em. ACE think theirselves smart enough and all the other like Russian, italian, norwegian, dutch and many more who have their Qtek rom unlocked are the "stupid"...
Anyway this is a different story..
I am available to help in any way but i'm not such an expert user as you to play with the editing tools.
P.S:I see the rom is uploaded on a TEI of Piraieus server, you have any connection with teipir? I'm in the Automation.

I found another approach to our problem.
Instead of trying to hack the rom, I extracted some dll files needed for the greek smartdialing.
I dumped the Greek rom and followed the instructions here.
http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_simpleboard&Itemid=59&func=view&id=10204&catid=45
but used the Greek smartdialing.dll instead of the one posted above.
It worked very well. I even edited the smartdialing cab found on the ext rom and included the dll. So each time I hard reset the device, the smartdialing feature works for greek characters. I think the smartdialing can be customized just as easily for any other language, just as long as you find the .dll in your language. (For this, download a rom containing the language, and user WM5 editing tools found on xda-devs).
If someone needs it, I can upload the greek smartdialing cab to overwrite the one in your ext rom (for wizard only).
I also use AEKMAP for the internal qwerty and I find it very stable, simple and small.
So I guess there is no much point in hacking the greek rom (unless someone wants the menus customized - I don't).
how did you dumped the greek rom ?

Awesome idea.... is there any way i can get my hands on that .cab file? And maybe on your .aek greek layout? because mine kinda sucks
Anywho, i see we are off to a good start here fellas, don't worry answers will come soon enough.

Hi
I had the same issue and first of all think this is a language compatibility problem (...what is your??)!however, did you installed any other CommManager too??
Try to uninstall it (also others if you did!), soft-reset, install only this one again (but be sure the CommManager.exe app is really closed!!)!!If doens't work:
1)go in the registry and check these keys (default value): [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
->"EmptyMenuBar -> 0"
->"TextColor -> 0"
2)go in the \Windows folder and look for the "CommManager.exe.0409.mui" file (...i'm assuming you haven't an english device/os), cut it and paste wherever you want.Soft-reset and look what happen!If still nothing change the language code (..0409.. -> it is for english, more here) in that file to your default one and overwrite the file in \Windows folder!!Maybe now you get the text, but in english! ...better than nothing!
I have this issue with the 6 button on/off CommManager (i can use it only in English), but using this, like the HTC one (more Beam and 3G buttons, but with 9 (default) and not 10 buttons) i have no language problem, try this one you too!!!
Hope to help you!!
Ciao
Thanx works great now.

problem came back...this only happens after i reflash my device, i'm using WWE ATT rom now as compared to dutty's 6.1 wwe, and now my 10 button comm manager is doing the same thing. Heres a screen of what it's showing. (chat and icontact should only be viewable from today screen.)

...So, if you are using a WWE (english) Rom, your isn't a language problem!!
If you necessarily want this CommManager try to ask in the thread where got it (...I didn't well understand if this is the default one coming in that rom!), or try this other one (also 10 buttons, but different -> look the picture!, and try to install over it, if that is the default)!
...is that the default?? (add more info!)
If yes, first of all ask for help in the rom thread (maybe it's a rom bug, and other people have the same problem)!
If no, try what i said above!
Let me know...
Found Problem!
This only happened when I created a shortcut to commanager from windows folder and placed into startmenu/programs, after deleting shortcut all is well. I was trying to re-map the PTT button to work w/ commanager, the only way to I saw to do this was to copy original commanager to the folder that contained a list for re-mapping options (settings/buttons/program buttons) so I guess i'm **** out of luck on a remap to commanager, if you know anything let me know, thanks for your help.
Hi folks.
At first i have to say, that this is a somehow unclean and tricky solution, but it works somehow and maybe it can be improved.. There are some threads on this forum, which deal with that, but i'm going to describe, what i did, to get it working.
You need:
- The new Touch IT 2.1-ROM (don't know yet, if it works with other ROMs - think only if it's the same build)
- A backup from a german ROM (mine was made by SPB-backup from the cmEX-image, also don't know if other ROMs/backup tools work)
- The language files from here (German.rar)
- A registry editor (I used PHM regedit)
First i took all the mui-files out, by using the Windows search and copying them into another folder, then i transferred them via ActiveSync into the \Windows folder.
Then I put a link to the registry tool and to the explorer and PHM regedit in the TF3D programs panel (you'll need that, because after changing the registry to use german language your start menu will be screwed up for some reason and you can't access any program anymore).
Now you have to change two registry values and optionally set your region in the regional settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI]
"SysLang"="1031" (for german)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI]
"CurLang"="1031"
-> It's time to do a soft-reset and you'll notice, that the pin-dialogs and so on are in german.
Go to the TF3D programs panel (as i said: Start menu will be screwed up - there are links for programs and settings, but they won't work) and start explorer to execute your backup.
After that your ROM should be fully german.
This is probably not a very good solution and it's kind of buggy, but it is a start..
I couldn't get it until know, how to cook the language files into a ROM (tried it with extracting the new Touch IT 2.1 and inserting the files from German.rar, but ended up with the device starting up and showing a black screen all the time).
If somebody could help me out with that, i would, if i am allowed, make a german version of the Touch IT 2.1 ROM.
Any additions or corrections appreciated!!
Hello,
I've looked everywhere but I can't find sollution for my problem.
I wanted to have a polish dictionary on my new HTC Topaz (Diamond2) and found this topic
http://pdaclub.pl/forum/index.php?topic=132098.0;prev_next=prev#new (sorry in polish) and I've installed te cab file from the link there
(this file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58487&d=1195298846)
It have installed the launguage but there is a strange autofill option always turned on even if the keyboard is on ABC mode. The space doesent work propery. At the firs tap it doesn't do anything and on second it copy the underlined text. It works as it would suggests some strange words. It's almost impossible to write a correct sms or everything else by this keybord. New word which I'm writing is underlined.
All the option for autocorrection are off in settings menu.
InWriter keabord seems to work fine?
Maybe it just need to be reinstall but I don't have any oryginal files.
Please HELP!
edit: now I found out that I probably have EzInput 2.0 keyboard which does not support old language files. What should I do now? Install the new version od EzInput?
i have found some .exe in most himalaya rom's "\Windows" folder that seem too be not needed so they could be deleted from future kitchens and stuff.
anyway here they are with screenshots..
1.sms_alert_fix.exe-pretty obvious.
2.SimLock.exe-i think something to do with unlocking sims (eventhough i've never used it).
3.cgacutil.exe-it shows you what version of NetFrameWork you are running (not sure if it gets installed as defult when NetFrameWork is installed.
4.hwhelp.exe-seems to be left from the keyboard option of character recognizer.
5.wrlsmgr.exe-maybe a part of the himalaya wireless driver.
can these be removed or deleted safely?
any ideas?

SMS_Alert_Fix will revive your phone when you will get a sms.
Simlock is really weird.
cgacutil is funking needed.
hwhelp is not needed but I don't want to know what will happen when deleted
wrlsmgr is needed for people who have SDIO Wifi card which himalaya support.
thats it then SimLock.exe is getting deleted and i will see what happens!
Here is what I removed to get free sectors in My WM6.1. The only way to learn effectively is: trial and error. Next try to read and understand the registry. It's all in there.

msim is keyboard right?
wisplite is totally unneeded, you can delete it but don't forget to delete registry entries in shell
also i know these can be deleted bcuz they are to do with error reporting and feedback-
DwXfer.dll
dw.exe
ceipui.exe
and also this-
BackPack.dll
hey muckelmaus these are needed for keyboard-
msim.dll
msim.96.dll
this for the 4 dots you have to tap when you first start up a new rom-
welcome.exe
and this is one of your splash screens-
welcomehead.96.png
and this is used for the search device for file function-
shfind.exe
otherwise i cannot see any problem with deleteing the rest of them...
i have also found this on a other part of xdadev-
*
Hd.dll
*
Aosaxst0.dll
*
Mencfilt.dll
Here Hd.dll and Aosaxst0.dll are used for M$ debug. Like some times on pc the apps close itself, and windows asks you to send the details to M$ (example. error number : 893647). We ( users) don’t know what it means, only the developer in M$ know. But I never saw these files report anything to us. SO!!! We don’t need them! they are trash!!
Now Mencfilt.dll is for storage card encrypt. If you don’t use it, you can delete it as well. Have you had this experience where after flashing a new Rom every thing in storage card can’t show any more!!!! but its still use the space in the card. Yes it's because of this file only.
**NOTE: There are some device in which removing these files causes system issues so be careful. But only a few devices

As I used a german 'qwertz' keyboard and a smaller splash screen, these files are just overwritten in my rom. These are backups.
I skip the Touchscreen alignment at first bootup (it doesn't work anymore after changing initflashfiles.dat)
Did you ever try to use * as a joker with the search program? Totally useless, so it is overwritten by a better app, renamed to: shfind.exe.

It didn't bother, everything worked 'till I deleted some files in startmenue and rearanged the programs. But noone told me that he missed the feature. Approximately 300 users over all. Even if some of them only tested. For me it was OK, and I'm still running it from the very first day, without any need of a new hard reset 'till now.
muckelmaus, why do you have a smaller startup screen?
I reduced the size of the files to get some kB/sectors free, as my rom is full of third party apps.

As I remember you can put JPG file as welcomehead
there is 2 solutions:
Save as jpg file and then just rename into .png
Save as jpg and change registry entry in redist dpi 96
by the way:
look at this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen]
"MSBitmap"="\\windows\\welcomehead.96.png"
"MSTimeout"=dword:7530 ; 30000 milliseconds
"CarrierBitmap"="\\windows\\welcomehead.96.png"

maybe we could have 2 splash screens and change their duration on screen
So, when combined with bootloader 2 splashes (as I post tutorial to change it easly) we can have 4 splashes.
Good for doing PC boot images as I did before hima died my work in attachment
