From droid to milestone (and viceversa) possible ? - Motorola Droid 3

Looks like is feasible, but I don't speak chinese.
Is there someone able to translate correctly (at least better than chromium) this forum thread ?
http://bbs.dkdiy.net/thread-14132-1-1.html

It looks like but I don't really understand Chinese
But I won a XT860. And there is nothing written about that one.

if we all say one language!

Just a joke!
if we all say one language,we can commuacation each other freely.
I like the site XDA,but my english is poor,I cannt understand other clearly and also counldn't let them understand me!
I understood you. The way I look at it is this. Whatever your native language, it would be a second language for me. I'll bet you US$50 that you speak, (write) better English better than I speak, (write), your native language. So, it's no big deal. Even among native English speakers, the meaning often gets lost behind the words. On the Internet, it is difficult to communicate subitle meanings, as inflections in voice and body language are not available.
I know over 10 languages (with Google Translate Lol..!) It's seriously a great tool.

anyone willing to make me a simple custom ROM?

Hi,
I am wanting a very simple custom rom but I am not sure how to "cook" one.
I've read the tutorials, etc.. but I'm still very confused.
I will try to get a hang of it, so I can make a truly customied Rom, but in a mean while can someone be kind enough to make me a basic custom ROM?
All I need/want is a UK ROM (or any english based rom) with Korean fonts, Korean Keyboard, Korean Thumb keyboard, Powerdic (All theses are pre-included in SKTELCOM ROM).
Korean Thumb Keyboard is like the one in HTC devices where you can type letters with onscreen number pad (I believe it's called "SKY II" in the Korean ROM)
Basically, I need an English ROM with full Korean Support. (powerdic is a dictionary program included in Korean ROM)
I could install softwares to my X1 with English ROM to get a similar result, and I tried but the result wasn't perfect - I was not able to read at some conditions and not able to write sometimes as well)
Can anyone PLEASE be kind enough to make one for me?
I hope it won't take that long..
Thanks for looking.
no one will do it for free. you should consider giving some incentives, otherwise everyones' gonna ignore you

for this you have my kitchen
just use it
br
If I get a chance later I will
But I can't promise anything, it'll depend on how my time pans out.
You should try to cook it yourself? Maybe instead, ask for like a "How To Cook Basic Rom" guide or something. Just like being able to take someones rom and maybe tweak it a bit to your own liking? Less hassle for them and puts more control into your own hands.

Thanks for the reply.
I've actually read some tutorials and guides but could not fully understand.
So, I went one to try something, and I wasn't going anywhere.
First of all, I didn't know what folders had what, and did not configure how to mix components.

Thanks a lot!
I'll try to figure something out in a mean while..
Hope I can find some who did something similar already..
Most audience in here are English user. For this kind of language specific request, normally you should look for forums in yr language community. I am not sure about Korean, but I know there's a lot of those forums for Chinese and Russian (in fact, many of them are really hard-core hacker).
The reason I need help from ENG speaking people is that I live in Canada and I use my phone in this country.
Sadly, Korea uses a bit different structure for mobile phones and there are a few things that work differently - for example, SMS feature is a lot different.
Since I am a Korean-Canadian, I use Korean language as well.
Only thing I need is Korean language input/output, and possibly ABC tabs in contact list converted in Korean Language - I think I can find a way for this by modifying some registries.
If someone can at least make Packages from SKTELCOM ROM, then I guess I can finish the rest.
I tried extracting and got stuck in making them into packages..
Plus, I don't know where the language related files are usually located from the extracted stuff..

Well I've just cooked you one, in fact two, but it's not booting. I'll try again tomorrow.
If you use evrius ultilanguage GUI rom kitchen, it'll extract the rom from nbh and make it into packages, it's all pretty easy to do. Then do the same with the UK (or NA) one and combine, but it's not happened with me tonight.
Language files are all those in 412 folders.
WOW, Thanks so much for trying that for me.
I will also try to make something out of it with the info you gave me.
Thanks

hi fards, just curious if you might have been successful in the cooked rom dahanist was looking for. I'm in the same situation, except I live in korea and cant really take advantage of the phone with a full korean OS, so i want to install an English OS but keep all the korean compatibility for sms, input, etc. Figured this might do the trick. Any luck yet?
By the way, there's a seperate thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500446) where several people in my position are willing to pay money for a good cooked English ROM with korean language support, how's that for incentive?
got it
If anyone is still looking for this i found the answer

Mind if I ask what your answer is? Theres some custom English ROMs posted on another post here. I'd be curious to know what else you may have found though otherwise.

[News][Milestone]Motorola Europe announces Froyo Operator Testing

www . facebook . com / motorolaeurope / posts / 167417936629785
(remove the spaces, sorry as I'm a new user)
To summarise, a Froyo build (not mentioned which one) has been sent to operators for testing. Guess that would mean a few more months before a build is even released to public. (Right after the announcement for Gingerbread? Ugh.)
---start of rant---
First of all, greetings to all (it's my first post). The Milestone is my first Android phone, and it's a love-hate relationship honestly. I made a mistake not knowing about the locked bootloader (who wouldn't? After all most Android phones don't come with a 2048-bit encrypted bootloader). I believe most Milestone users share the same experience with me, finding out the cruel truth only after purchase.
Why lock? I believe most users have already read the comment from Motorola's CEO, which is to protect users from damaging their phone. (I'll get the source article later.) Seriously? Look at the magic Droid users and developers have churned out.
The Milestone, like the Droid, is a capable phone. Not the best in the market now, but one of the better ones in the same price range.
If Motorola is unable to release updates in time, I personally feel that they should unlock our bootloader, and let the community do the magic. It's after all what people look for when they bought an open-sourced phone.
---end of rant---
I frequent the Milestone development forums (even though I've never left a message simply because I feel that I lack technical knowledge to be commenting on their wonderful works), and love what has been made for Milestone. However, there are limitations definitely, from what I gathered.
I humbly believe that if they unlocked the bootloader, they would change people's views of Motorola worldwide (like when I first got the Milestone, before finding out about the locked bootloader) and in the long run it's definitely beneficial. We're talking about European, Middle Eastern, Asian, Indian, Mexican, Canadian (?) and many more markets here, my dear big M.
Is there any petition already started to appeal to Motorola to unlock our bootloaders? After all, Android is about the power of the community.
Sorry for the long message, I just needed to get this off my mind, and would love to hear about views from the amazing xda community. I may be wrong, I may be biased, but I'm just a plain Milestone user.
Oh, I still love my Milestone anyway.
Thanks. =)
it'll probably never get unlocked, but it still sucks. i love being able to do damn neared anything i want to my Droid.

[Hardware] I wonder if its possible to use the droid2 keyboard on droid1

I'm a bit curious to see if the following is possible:
We all know the keyboard on the first moto droid/ milestone is not the best. Since the droid 2 is Almost identical, is it possible to use the Hardware keyboard from the droid2 on droid1?
a few of my keys on my Milestone (i'm from canada) have stopped working (i need to exert more force on some of the keys), i'm going to soon replace the keyboard. So if i'm going to spend the time and effort into doing this, i'm curious to see if this hardware mod is possible.
Any insight from members?
Thanks
The last I heard of this was here:
androidforums.com/motorola-droid/215882-motorola-droid-a855-upgrade-droid2-955-keypad.html
edit: grrr, this forum still thinks I'm new so I can't hotlink the thread.
I'm looking forward to hearing any news on this... I hate the hardware keypad on my milestone...
Well, i've been looking into it further. I dont think its possible.
The droid 1/ Milestone has a small lip towards the end. Perhaps the new keyboard from D2 might just fit, but for now, i'm not going to bother.
Also, thanks for finding the other thread, i hadnt seen that. I was googling around for quite some time before i decided to post on xda.
Thanks for the responses.

[Q] ROM with spell check

The absence of an innate spell check on the android OS is a major flaw.
Has anyone thought about, or is it even possible, to add an innate spell check to android using a ROM?
Thanks

I don't think it would be a bad idea, but I would guess that the text predicting and autocorrecting keyboards we use sort of obsolete that feature. Although that doesn't do any good for existing documents that you open.
I agree; without swype and the ROMs I found here I would have gone back the BB; which is a pretty sad statement given BBs current lack of capabilities.
The spell check is most needed for professorial emails with technical language; this language generally falls outside of what swype (or other predictive spellers) handle.
good idea
Its a good idea but i agree with the keyboards making it far too complicated to implement with a decent substitue in place with the keyboards.
P.S. you might want to go about changing your user name to something other than you gmail adress.....just a thought
P.P.S this probably belongs in Q&A or General. Nothing against you personally buddy just trying to keep the forum tidy. Mods can you move this!
Check out swiftkey, I'm not a fan of swype and this keyboards predictive and auto correction abilities are top of the line. Also, I just saw it was on the market for 1.99, which I believe is $2 less than normal. There is a 30 day trial out as well to test for free. Only complaint from me is you can't skin it. And that's minor.
And yes, this probably belongs in another section.
