Which Rom? :confused:

Hello everyone! I recently purchased an O2 XDA mini S. It was originally a German O2 contract and I want to change it to an english/american non O2 branded system. Which Rom should I update with? I have visted the wizard folder in the FTP, but there are so many different ROMs. I can't tell which ones are good plus meet the english / non-branded criteria.
Thanks for any assistance
(As you surely guessed, I'm not a developer. Please excuse errors in terminology etc. )
****EDIT - Just realized that this should go in Wizard updating. Please move if possible****

At first you must CID-unlock your phone, if you want any ROM with edited OS version.
And than you can flash: Faria`s ROM, Ridsoro`s ROM or mine and Jimm98y`s superrom, and others.
Look at the forum and choose that, what is best in your opinion

Make sure you do your reading before you do anything else. You can really **** up your phone if you dont know what your doing.

the WWE stands for world wide english.. i guess this is what ur looking for

There are thousands of posts on the same.
Maybe I can make the question simpler
What is the Best and Most Stable ROM available at the moment?
Is there a thread whcih contrasts all hese different ROMS?

I think that's a great question... in fact, the answer should almost be stickied:
"What is the best and most stable ROM for a non-advanced user?"
Gotta run; somebody should set up a poll. As of right now, and my knowledge is definitely limited, I'd vote for Molski 2.26 Final.

Which Rom to use
You're going to get as many answers as posts on this one. I think xelencin's is the best for newbies:

a poll on this would be cool.

Questions about making a new rom

Hi, I'm thinking of studying to develop a BA's WM5 rom from the scratch.
Witch programs do I have to know and use to build one...
And witch company's rom might be the best rom to study from...
at least I'm thinking of building a rom for Asian language support and the UI...

Languages of HD cooked ROM

The cooked ROM are only WWE or there are some in Italian ? Thanks to all

Isn't it possible, that someone write down here, how I have to change a WWE ROM to an other language. I don't what to lookup in so many threads :-(
Thanks!

i agree, i found something but i still have to flash my HD so cant say/check if it work
or no. When i'll flash my first ROM i'll let you know.
Would be great to have a stiky thread about this!
I think, and i'm sure, many of us, come in the same boat...
So why, someone that have already done it, dont post a nice guide?
that'd be great and helpfull!
ps: i think i'll flash my hd at the end of this week, and if all'll work, i'll post how i do it
...i hope it'll work!!

In that case, each language will have to open a single post.

Look at this thread:
[PROJECT] Manila3 Language Packs (New Manila Version vom Duttys v2.4 coming soon) = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490844
In most cases this is sufficient whereas most eT9-languages are included in all ROMS for the HD already.
The rest of the "foreign" language (WWE) you should understand as long as you can read this ;-)

Sorry for the question.
Normally i search before to open a new thread but in this case is my negligence....
sorry again

[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

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
Greetings

any rom is suitable ? plx take a look

any rom is recommended to flash the X1 (with WM 6.5 and Sense)
, fast and stability??
thats my first time trying flash, i can accept in english rom,
but must be able to view and type chinese,
well i from HK
(As you know ,it is important to sms with my girlfriend)
furthermore,any rom and retain the panel function? is it possible??
thanks for helping

i think the energy rom will do the trick and the experilo once it's fixed Experilo looks sweeeeet but energy is more stable i think about the language no idea im dutch so doesn't realy matther for me hehe

instead of making a new thread in the rom DEVELOPMENT thread you could've just read around for roms with chinese support.
but i'm sure there is a rom with that
maybe this one, i'm not sure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624506
