Telephone Number Format - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development

Hello guys. I guess many people have asked this question... Is there any way to change the telephone number format? I don't want the (zzz) zzz-zz format, it doesn't make sense in my country. Is there any way to play with that format? Thanks!

Go to Setting->System->Regional Settings and look for your country.

My country, Lebanon, isn't there. I'm asking for another advanced way... maybe registry editing?

when in doubt, if you want it in English (assumption), select, English UK, or English Australia, or English New Zealand...it will enter numbers (or show numbers) in the international format. By choosing Canada or the US, you will have "our" format
EDIT: As people have said, to change this setting it is in the Regional Settings menu..but it is only changed when you change the language, there is no field like if you wanted to change the numerical format or date format

You have to make sure you have selected your country in REGIONAL SETTINGS. I think it has to do with that.
REspecTo!

Victory is mine!! lol
Naw, the only reason I know that this would change it, is because I did it myself when I went to Australia this year (from Canada)...so I noticed the difference once changing the location in the settings
Enjoy...bill is in the mail btw...

Phone number format

Hello everybody,
I just need help to change the phone number display format,
I live in lebanon and here we just use six max 8 characters for phone numbers, it's just annoying with the format we have on the xda
(###) ###-####
Does anybody know a way to change something in the registry for example to display the phone number without parentheses, dashes and space?
Put this in the registry, and then soft-reset.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CountryCode"=dword:00000000

Well, almost. I just found out this works for 3.17.03, but doesn't work for 4.00.11. Does anyone know more?

While I'm answering my own posts: if you select something other than "English (United States)" in the Control Panel, the number format also changes.
change your regional settings from English United States to English UK for instance. It is the first thing i do whever i reflash or hard reset.
Cheers

Thanks for this great rom.
It looks great.
At last the screen comes on when I set an MP3 for the ringtone!!!
Great work.
Thanks for the ROM. Finally one without any Chinese stuff in it.
Just 2 more questions: does this ROM support use of SDHC cards and how to change the date style (from short to long date format)
1 - this and all other rom's dosn't support sdhc card's
2 - need to change it in registry editor
Thanks for the quick reply. Re the reg editor: do you know what key needs to be changed (and to what value)?
Can you please give a step to step guide, for how to install this rom on the SPV C550 please?

I tried it, changed the value to "dddd d MMMM yyyy" but then the date field in the first panel showed up empty (unfortunately)
Thanks for the Firmware, works and looks nice!
A few small problems I found:
MoBlue is only in Polish.
Some error messages (as from media player) are also only Polish.
Is there a way to fix this?
moblue is in english too, but you must change them i moblue settings or in registry editor.
about WMP i check it

Works! Thanks.
Changed in registry: moblue.pl.lang.txt -> moblue.lang.txt
Do we have to flash some specificradio for WM6.1? This is the best rom so far, but i still have most common problems that occur with 6.1: phone keeps losing coverage and battery sometimes drains for no apparent reason.

For T9 try a download from hxxp://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads
The setting of SMS service center works fine for me
When I clear the entry, it was auto filled by the network,
when I modifiy the default, it stays as I enter the value.

Thanks for the T9 link.
I will drive it and see what happens..
Howver... I have found.... Putting in a normal one line sim card.. (t-mobile) it works fine..and shows and saves the SMSC
A sim with Line 1 and Line 2 (ALS) not cut chopped card... before someone says it) Orange ...does not work.
What i need is where it stores this info.
Searching the Registy shows up nothing.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

[Q] Phone Number Formatting (Dashes)

I realize this question gets asked over and over, BUT HEAR ME OUT:
I've done extensive searches online on how to change my number format from the american xxx-xxx-xxx to my country's (Argentina) format. Everyone, everywhere answers MoreLocale 2, and everyone answers "OMG. That's exactly what I wanted!!!" Except that's now what I am looking for. There are plenty of websites that tell you to write these numbers down in my google contacts with that format, except that's not what I'm looking for.:
You see, MoreLocale 2 changes the standard American formatting xxx-xxx-xxx to xxxxxxxxx when I select Argentina which is NO FORMATTING once so ever. Even Brazil and Chile and Uruguay, which have the same format gives the same result.
I want my numbers to be formatted xxxx-xxxx.
I want to know if anyone knows a way (even manual system file editing) that will allow me to have all numbers entered into a dialer formatted xxxx-xxxx-xxxx.
Sorry for the rant, but I've lost hours online and all I can find is people praising MoreLocale2 for removing the dashes.. I don't want them removed, I want to change the PLACES where these dashes go...
Anyone?
You'd think this was an easy problem for people here at xda...

Use one local for apps, another for everything else

How I can do that?
Local what ?????
Local usually refers to something nearby, or in the immediate area.

Locale, language exactly

oh you mean the local language? i dunno if that is possible.. it all depends on the application (unless you want to email the dev of that app to translate it completely)
but system-wise, you can always change it to your local language.
I really don't think you can, and I say that after thinking a lot about whether there might be a workaround

[Q] How to add languages to a android phone

Allright, I recently got my hands on a cheap mt6572 phone and I intended to give it as a gift, but it only has english and some Asian languages available in the settings menu, and since the person I was going to give this phone to doesn't speak english or any sort of chinese-like language, I'd like to know if it is possible to add other languages to the android(4.2.2) running on this phone. Considering that those apps on the store that supposedly add languages have already been tested and don't seem to work.

Hi. No way, without recompile system firmware.
"The settings app just shows you all of the locales that are available in the platform resources. Adding strings for a new locale should automatically have those shown in settings. You tell the build system which locale resources to include when it does the build... unfortunately I can't help you on that part, but maybe someone else can."

Oh well. Sounds like trouble considering that the phone does not feature proper recovery (like CWM) for restoring everything in case something goes wrong =/
Anyway, if you could PM me the link I'll do some risk analysis XD
