[29/11/08] WM6.1 for S730 in Dutch available!

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

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?

how difficult is it to make a custom ROM?

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.

[Q] Enabling languages in HTC_IME?

How do you enable keyboard layouts for languages other than English in the HTC_IME virtual keyboard? Searched the forum but have not found the answer.
Have seen few ROMs with "customize" folder but contents seemed to be very messy and repetitive with HTC_CIME settings thrown in as well...
In one post Haykuro suggested to delete "customize" folder to enable all languages and layouts and this certainly shown more locales, yet the keyboard layout I am looking for, Russian, was not available.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't like the HTC_IME only for english and the CIME only for chinese? I'm sure you can find a nice russian vk on the market though. Have you searched there? Sorry I wasn't very helpful. Try to look into it for you!

As a matter of fact HTC_IME includes resource file that shows a switch from English to Russian keyboard layout. In one of the ROMs, Ravenge's ramjet I even had it working (Settings button would turn into Ru / En switch). There are certainly few russian keyboards available out there but I would really like to get HTC working because it seems most feature full.
In addition, I would like to understand structure of "customize" folder because it seeems that it allows other mods as well.

I have taken customize folder from one of the JAChero roms and removed everything that was not IME specific, placed it into the Cyanogen 3.6.2 rom that I am currently running. After going to Settings and switching locale to Russian and back to en_US, but not changing keyboard layout (because only English was listed) I had what I was hoping to get, an HTC keyboard with Russian to English switch. What bothers me is that Russian keyboard layout was not listed at all.
Does anyone have any information on how customize folder works?

This folder is processed by HTC custom settings provider on first boot. Afterwards settings are served through some service. Decompiling HTC_IME may help to find a way to emulate this behavior.
I'm unable to get RU/EN switch with EN interface on recent Cyanogen builds (4.x) - only with Russian UI which looks really ugly in many places %(

arabic/hebrew language support on nexus one?

hey everyone
is it possible to have robust arabic language support on the nexus one? I've looked all over the internet and most of the potential solutions i found were not really good; like on some you would be able to read arabic script but you couldn't write in arabic, and in some you can write in arabic and semi-read arabic script (the letters wouldn't be connected). please someone help!!!

1) Cyanogen 5.0.6 fully supports Hebrew and Arabic, to the extent of Gmail app that has an incorrect Email preview, letters backwards (can't be fixed, don't look for it). Can't say for Arabic, but Hebrew was tested thoroughly, working as well as it's currently possible on the device.
2) There's fully Arabized ROM by UAE in Development section.
Did you check both of those?

i tried cyanogens rom but i think it was an earlier version (the letters wouldn't connect, making it unintelligable). do you know if UAE's rom is based off of ayman's package?

Don't know, I believe not - he'd mention it. You can check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664184
Also, give a try to the latest CM (5.0.6). Gmail preview reversing isn't a big issue.

i just installed cyanogens new rom and i must say, the new UI is very attractive, the nexus boot animation is now bleu with an android in the centre on a skateboard. the application grid is now 5 apps across instaed of 4 and i especially enjoy the transparent sliding notification bar. strangely enough theres even more system RAM available than before and the phone itself seems a bit faster and more responsive.
for the most part it does exactly what i want (in terms of reading/writing semetic script) but my god....its soo buggy!! i was stuck in an endless google account sign-in loop during initial acct setup and the browser crashes repeatedly. the system sometimes forgets to reorientate writing direction irrespective of language; it writes latin script from right to left in addition to arabic script. however arabic characters are connected.
do u know of any other arabized roms or system hacks to implement arabic language support? if not, i will probably keep cyanogens 506 rom, because the benefits of it vastly outweigh the few imperfections

[Q] Dictionary issues with QND MIUI Rom

Hi,
I'm currently using the QND MIUI Rom from this thread on my N1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084726
I think this is a very nice ROM and jbbandos did a good job. But I have the following problem: I don't seem to have any dictionaries for the languages installed. I set my system language to German, but when I type I don't get any suggestions, except the names in my contact list.
Furthermore, no matter what language I choose, I always have a QWERTY keyboard although I'd rather want to have a QWERTZ keyboard.
Am I doing something wrong, or did I miss an important part? Before using this QND MIUI ROM, I used the RoDrIgUeZsTyLe ROM and when choosing the system language I could see below most of the languages "dictionary available", but this is not the case for this ROM.
What can I do?
I would have posted my question in the above mentioned thread, but due to my low post count I'm not allowed to post it there. Ridiculous, but okay....
Many thanks in advance for any help

Someone with the same qwertz problem got this answer.

@tommert38: Thanks for your answer. To workaround the problem I'm currently using the HTC IME keyboard, which is fine.
But I guess the problem is not supposed to exist, at least nobody complained so far in the "main thread". So either nobody needs those keyboard suggestions, or I must have done something wrong or missed an important setting.
