Hello , i live in Israel and i want to buy an htc wilfire.
there is a shop that sells it and the shop's name is "E-Line", they offer an upgrade to android 2.2 for money [ because they add Hebrew support (keyboard + fonts)].
So i have a few questions:
1) The most important one: do you think they make an official update provided by HTC or install a custom ROM? (I'd like to root it after a few months of usage and i heard that i can't root the original froyo)
2) Is there any ROM (except "SUnAaBh" ) that HAS Hebrew support? (I'd prefer to buy on android 2.1 and change ROM by myself to 2.2, and save money)
If the answer to (2) is "NO" than:
3) Is there any way to install Hebrew keyboard and fonts onto a cusom ROM? (Please give a link or an explanation on how to do it)
As for the upgrade they "provide", there's no way to know if it's the official one or not.
Well, not with the information you (and probably they) have given.
About Hebrew support, Android 2.1 can't display hebrew glyphs (they're simply not implemented in the font) but it's relatively trivial to fix, and there's even a script on iandroid.co.il that does it for you (but you have to be rooted and your rom must be de-odexed).
Unfortunately this is my first post so I can't post outside links I'll PM you the forum thread for the script if you want. (or you can just google it)
Android 2.2 can display hebrew glyphs natively without any sort of patching, so you're not required to use specifically SUnAaBh or whatever
As for the hebrew keyboard, you just need an extra keyboard app that supports hebrew layouts, the ones I know of are AnySoftKeyboard (free) and Smart Keyboard Pro (costs .99$ I believe).
I should mention that both Android 2.1 and 2.2 have a bug that cause certain applications (notably gmail) to display hebrew words reversed, the script I mentioned also contains a fix for that, as does the Cyanogen rom.
thanks, you've helped me
Intro

You flash any of my roms at your own risk!!
Features and Modifications
-Removed some useless things.
-Nodata data manager
-LeoExtended Notifications
-ArkSwitch Task Manager

-HTC Facebook Tab (Stable, but because it's made for WVGA screen, the image on the sense bar is a little out of focus.), (see FAQ on how to enable)
-Increased PagePool from default to 15MB, showning a good increase on speed.
-Latest Facebook App and Engine (1.1.0.26)
-Brand new splash screen instead of the htc screen
-Disabled Error Reporting/Customer Feedback/lots of annoying microsoft notifications
-Removed the default Windows Mobile pictures, leaving only htc's wallpapers
-Compressed Manila localization and picture files to free some space
-No more security warnings
-Stock Office Mobile 2007 (There was an issue adding the office 2010 in the rom, any help appreciated)

After you have downloaded and tested a Rom, please post back your experience with my rom. This way, it will be a lot easier to track and correct all the issues.
Also, I would be very pleased if you posted what you would expect from the next version of my ROM.
see post 2 for FAQ and how to flash.
PS: All new ideas and help will ease the strain from me, so, if you have any suggestions or want to help me out, feel free to hit me a pm.
How to flash
*After you have downloaded all the necessary files from the 1st post, put the two files together (the sspl flash .exe file and the NHB file).
*Then run the .exe file. Make sure your running it with administrator rights or it will not work.
*Click the check box and hit next.
*Then, you need to be sure you have at least 50% battery left on the device, connect it via usb to activesync mode. Remember that the device should be on in the whole flashing procedure. Once done, hit next
*After the computer has veryfied your current rom version, hit the update button.
*Hit next and again next.
*You should now see a dialogue on the computer screen about the % of the flash completed. On this step, a box may appear on the device indicating that a file called enterboatloader wants to run. Touch Allow or whatever similar. This MAY happen if you have the original htc rom installed on the device.
*Now the flash will start. DO NOT interact with the device, because if something goes wrong, you will brick your device.
*When it reaches 100%, a message will appear on the pc indicating successfull installation of the rom. In this step, the device will restart and it is ready for use.
Enjoy!
FAQ
How do I enable the Facebook Tab on the HTC Sense?
In the start menu, there is an icon called FixStartManila. You need to hit this icon twice, because there is a little bug. After you press it twice, restart the device. To disable, navigate in the Rearrange Tabs in Settings.
Note: After you have enabled Facebook Tab, the FixStartManila icon in the Start menu is useless and can be deleted...
How do I apply the violet wallpaper in Home Tab on Manilla (for those who are not so experienced with the HTC Sense)?
On the home tab, touch Menu, Home Wallpaper, weather wallpaper. You will find that wallpaper in this list. Select it and you are ready!
[FIXED]What is happening with the Black-violet theme in the specific version of a language rom?
Right now, I am having an issue with the WWE and ELL languages, in which the Black-violet theme for the Manila will not start . If you have any suggestions on what may be wrong, please PM me.
Recommended with this ROM:
If you don't like the black-violet theme I have put, you can also use the theme from this cab made by Gabbana-music:

gonna try this out soon!
Some screenshots please?
I uploaded some screenshots of my rom.
New version of my rom. I have removed the ULDR sector to free some space and from now on, my rom will come on 3 versions per language, one with the Cookies Home Tab, the other with the CHT removed and the other with the black-violet theme for the Manila only (see screenshots). Also added GERMAN Language! Try this out!
Hello, thanks for your ROM!
I want to try it in german, but there are still some questions:
Can I use the defaut theme, when I use RUU_Signed_0407_1.3nohometab.nbh ROM? Because I like the original design and I don't want the black-violet theme.
Is it possible to deactivate Arkswitch?
Will be there also an italian version?
Hello sorry for the delayed reply, but I was too busy with my job.
Regarding the version, I have uploaded 3 versions. The blackviolettheme rom has the violet sense theme, the hometab has cookies home tab v2 and the last named nohometab has all the ccustomization of other versions, but the stock htc theme. Choose the last If you don't like the violet them, but I'd suggest also to try cookies home tab vet, as its pretty much fast now.
To disable Arkswitch, run it, hit menu and then options. then disable the "Run on boot" and you are ready to go.
I am currently having a problem to download other language stock roms to develop and so I can't make other languages RIGHT NOW. I will make some in the future.
Actually my language plan is to go with French, then Italian and Spanish. So check this thread regularly.
Hope I answered the questions......

add transcriber and according language package to your sys.
add the following reg keys to your rom:
;Transcriber Enabled
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\ezsip]
"SIPMenuEnableMSSIP"=dword:1
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{F0034DD0-2AD4-11d1-9CB0-E84BE8000000}\IsSIPInputMethod]
"Default"="1"
"SIPMenuEnableMSSIP"=dword:1
i recommend you to download ultrashot's dynamics kitchen and add them to try..
transcriber packages, you can find in my hd2 template kitchen in osbuilder thread.
Hello,
I would like to use original Croatian keyboard layout in non-Croatian CSC ROMs?
latest rom with Croatian keyboard & Swype is I9001BOKP9_I9001DTMKP4_DTM although it is not Croatia CSC (in fact it has ONLY German DTM code)..
so what to rip out and then inject in any other ROm (or in Android booted up)?
I think copying AxT9IME.apk from the Croatian rom to your current rom would be plenty. if not please correct me.
btw: lol at your avatar, no brain******* ^^
I get that plenty at work so please, without that "action" here, thank you
where is that file?
System/ app
Sorry doesn't work..
I also backed up with Titanium - Samsung keyboard, Swype and anything called input from german I9001BOKP9 ROM, tried on value pack ROM, Lion ROM, Moon ROM - installed Titanium (phone rooted of course) and restored those files, but keyboard doesn't have Croatian layout as option..
also manually copied A9IPK files (apk & odex) but no can do...
Im currently on Euphoria ROM, which has (of course) aosp keyboard baked in.
Since I'm a dutch user and I want gesture input, I need to have the Dutch dictionary installed.
Adding it from the settings isn't possible.
Please help me on adding it manually.
In not interested in installing another keyboard (for now).
I sure hope it can be done.
Thanks for any help given!
I tried to install Greek dictionary with no success. I would also like to know how it's done...
