Hi,
I' pretty sure you've seen this kind og question many times before, but i searched and came up empty handed and the wiki explains nothing.
I would very much like a custom rom on my touch pro, but the two things holding me back, is the hardware keyboard, and the general language in windows mobile. How do i add those in after flashing a new rom or can it only be done if the rom includes those things to begin with.
Thanks in advance.
Same question here......but i'm looking for the Dutch version.
Thanks alot!
Same problem here. But looking for Swedish language pack
Check out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3512681
I'm using it every time i update my ROM
Theres also a "Change between fuze and HTC Touch keyboard" application out there somewhere... (which i've also had to use some time)
Great thats one part of the question solved. Now is just the hard bit which is how i get windows mobile in danish and not english. Not that I don't speak english or anything but the native language is always better.

You'll need a multilingual ROM or something..
I prefer English to Danish tho - when it comes to OS language (both for pc and phone)..
But how can i tell if the rom is multilanguage or not?
I know thats probably a very stupid question but i haven't seen any rom topics with multilanguage in the title. Granted i haven't looked for long, but I cant recall ever seing one.
I've toyed around with Da_G's wm6.1 rom last night and i've really liked it over the stock one from HTC, but, I cant turn my head around to the english language.

Generally the thread title will tell you what language the ROM is in. WWE = World Wide English etc. Unfortunately with the visual kitchen being the way it is, it makes it easy to cook many different language roms but not very easy to cook a multilanguage ROM, if you get what I mean. Another thing is that it is actually quite hard to come aross up to date language packs for use in the kitchen.
Sorry if that is not what you wanted to hear. You could always tip your hand towards cooking your own ROM (It is not hard to do and I only learned about a year go) and then people will be able to come to you for a localised ROM

I had a feeling that was the way it was going. Thanks for telling what WWE was a abbreviation of.
I've messed around a little with Da_Gs kitchen and from the looks of it, it looks quite easy to cook my own ROM. What other tools is there to cook with?
Hey.
When you get a danish rom then i like to know
I think this rom is realy good. but will be nice in danish.

Hello
I search a possibility to replace the drivers of a HTC hermes rom with the drivers of the Prophet???
I want use a german rom of hermes. After replace, i try this rom.
can anyone help me???
sorry for my bad english, but im bad in english!!!
Interesting thought
Hi Chris,
it is an interesting idea to replace the drivers with those from the Prophet.
Hy should translate a rom if we have an allready translated in our language.
On the other sider, i think tere will be more things to do except change the drivers. Maybe one of the "romgurus" can give you a hint, how to port a hermes rom on the prophet.

Well basicky thats what you'll need to do.... the sys folder is verry much the same for all devices. You will have to port the XIP for that build also... but if that hermes rom is build on a build that is allready for prophet you could probable use that xip.
So mainly you will have to focuse on the OEM folder
Gullum, you are my hero
OK, now we know what to do.
For me as a simple man (not a noob) its a miracle how to manage this.
OK it's not my thread but it would be interesting for me too, how this could be done. Maybe, if its not too tricky it could be the easiest way to build roms in native languages, eg. German.
Hey Gullum, what about you? I'm sure you can do this in half an hour. ;q
Btw your music is cool and i like it.
Nice evening to you all,
skylow
Is there no helping hand arround?
Hey folks,
is there nobody out there who coul make this dream about a nativ german rom? Gullum knows what to do but i think i can't manage it.
For the gurus here it can't be a big job, i think.
Maybe chriscomputerfreak has allready done it and keeps the result for him alone *FG* just kiddin
I wold kiss your feet and what elese you like for some more help. <BG>

hi gullum
when you can make it, please, do it!
then you was the king of all german prophet owners
now already thanks, thanks thanks!!!
I'll try it, too! But I haven't so much time, so I can try it earliest at weekend because I have no time for my hobby!
Learning for school is soooo borring and annoying! ^^

I think this could become the biggest problem at all.
We all speak Englisch an our native language.
OK Finnish semms to be a fzinating language but not easy to learn.
I'm sure you know someone who speaks both, German and Finnish (i hope so).
But thank you for your helping hand. If someone can make the job it only could be you.

I think that I can do it all by myself and might just do that I need someone to translate the cube and some other apps and I can make Prophet touch in several differant languages
Maybe this could become a kind of teamwork
Hi Gullum,
i knew you can do it.
For translating the rest of the apps and cube you maybe can upload them so animelover, me and maybe some other german users can translate them for you and upload the translated files. Its only an idea but it maybe will save a lot of time.
I'm a little under pressure but i'll do my best to help.
Ok here is what I will do I will upload a working german version and the files that need to be translated or just text files so anyone knowing german could translate the text but not all apps will be translated because the have the language build into the exe..
give me a cuple of hours and I'll upload a beta
OK that'll be fine.
But for tonight im offline because i've to go up at 4 am tomorrow.
Thanks again and i'll begin asap.
c ya
skylow
These are the best news ever
Many thanks Gullum!
Standby for translation...
I did some changes and now it wan't boot but I'll figure it out just need to remember what I changed or just start over again

Hey Bram, could you please inform us on the status of your progress?? We're really looking forward to it!! Also I would like to know what tweaks and programs you're embedding. By the way, you know you're TOF, right?!
I do not know the original surface rom for the Elf, but seeing the reaction of the ppl here I guess it is going to be a great rom to try on my niki.
Please give us some more details about your Rom.
thanks a lot for your effort to improve Niki device!
i used to have a ELF and used Bram's Touch Surface ROM for it. I Tried alot of ROMs and his was by far the smoothest, fastest most responsive ROM for that device. Not taking away from anyother cook at all cause they have done a excellent job and Tom's ROM so far has been really really good, but I am looking foward to Brams.
Good to hear we have a new talented cook on our Niki thread!
Btw Bram, I don't know if this is currently possible, but could you look into making "abc" as the default input method instead of xT9? I really hate xT9 since I prefer doing "text speak" (sms style abbreviated words). Thanks.
great news my friend, thank you
am also curious how it looks like *g*
any updates on this rom...??
Busy cooking the rom, currently i'm implementing all the languages for xt9.
Then the rom is almost finished.

I don't know how to go about this, but since seth isnt goin to be making anymore roms the the Neon, I was wondering if someone could starting towards his direction. I would be the first to do this, but i haven't a clue where start. Sorry if this sounds dumb.
well first big thanx for you on taking on this task and its great appreciated im sure by the NEON community.im sure u already asked seth on how to start cooking and search this forum for some other NEON developers.ill help as much as i can.thanx
-wayne
Im learning to cook foor the Neon aswell Seth has given me soem tips and the kitchen he uses, although i don't know how we can better Seths current Rom its great
Could you show me the foundation of it? build on up?
Neon and Niki are very simulare ... i doesnt understand, why nobody try to found out, the different settings off both device, to create a OEM Pack?
An OEM pack would be great
I'm in the same boat myself. I've been reading the forums here for a while now and have a ****load of tools, but I don't know if I have the right tools to cook a ROM for the neon200.
I'm using Seth's Diamond v4 and it works very well, but I would like to cook a ROM that is stripped to the bone and build it back up over time.
If you have any hints or tips on how to cook for the neon please post them, and I'll try to post anything useful (or unsuccessful, until I brick my phone, lol)
Cheers.
starting from scratch?
I believe we should start by changing toms rom and black mary rom to be configured for the neon. it would be great to be able to have everyone benefit from they're work.
Excuse me...could you please direct me to the kitchen?
If someone has a kitchen, I'll start cooking today. I've cooked afew of my own roms, for private use, on my Kaiser. I've had my NEON 300 for about a month, and love it. If Seth has a kitchen do we know which? If someone's already obtained it from him, can you post it? I'll work on an OEM pack...this isn't really all that different from most of them floating around, it's not like most of the HTC apps haven't already been pooped out in oem fashion, ready to cook. This is how communities grow, with people willing to learn for the support and benefit of everyone.
I just cooked my first Neon200 ROM on the weekend using the Kaiser Kitchen with htcrt settings that NetrunnerAT posted:
[Neon]
Experimental=1
ModelId=NEON****
SignMaxChunkSize=64
RomSections=4, "0x200,SPL,262144,TRUE", "0x600,Splash,262144,FALSE", "0x301,Radio,17563648,TRUE", "0x400,OS,0,FALSE"
I took a vendor image and added some packages cooked it and flashed it and my phone still worked after it, lol. Not all the apps I added worked, but the process did.
I'm going to play with it some more until I get it right (my GFs new favorite saying is, "Are you playing with that f**king phone again!!!). I'd like to build an ultralite ROM with decent drivers that can be built on.
Netrunner posted in this thread that creating an OEM pack for the Neon shouldn't be too hard, but it seems that there aren't alot of knowledgeable people out there with Neons. The differences might be small but to a n00b (like me, lol) they're pretty major. I've read about as much as I can, (I saved my weekend FF session and it has 259 tabs - and on a side note it peaked @ 1,002,384K and while I know that IE would have drowned in it's own blood, 4MB per tab still seems excessive ...) Any Neon specific help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Next I'm gonna try and take a stock WM6 ROM and port it to 6.1, we'll see what happens from there ...
Hey hey, well done. sounds good my girlfriend says the same thing haha
solution for that problem
I often hear it from my girl too... what I have done is bought her a htc dual now she's into xda too... a question though how can I know if I have a neon or a htc touch dual? from the back of the phone I have HTC dual but when I search into net NEON looks like a htc dual touch... a bit confused here

where are you from? If your in the US, most cases you have a neon. If it doesnt have it listed (on back of device), you probably have a niki. Check settings>device information>identity

I've got the Niki Kitchen, where do I change the settings so I can make the rom for a Neon200 instead of for the Niki?
I have no real idea about this stuff yet, but would like to learn and be involved...
Why is it that you can't take an existing Niki ROM and simply change a couple of settings and cook an Neon ROM?

Manilla Rom
If any one has the kitchen, and is willing to throw out a few pointers, I would be more than happy to get started on a Manilla ROM. Does anyone have any idea where to get one? I PM'd Seth, but have not gotten a reply yet. Any ideas?
The day after I flashed WM6.5 on my Prophet,it became slower and slower,on the contrary,my desktop computer become faster,for I have updated it a few days ago.
My Prophet,such as my close friend,belongs one important thing in my daily life.I'm a cooker from mainland China,I started to flashed my phone since the second month I bought it in April,2007.After my college entrance examination in June,2007,I became crazy at flashing all the new roms I can found all over the world.A young man,called Gullum,gave me some help.I also got some help from the forums in my country,such KK,Consam,XJ,youzi,etc.Thanks all of their hard working,so our Prophet can keep updating from WM5.0 to WM6.5.
Today,my Prophet is become old,and often founded some problem by sudden.I wanna to buy a new phone,such as HD,or Diamond II.I donot know which is more suitable to me.Can you all give me some suggestions?
Thanks a lot,and please forgive my broken English written.

Personally id buy an HD, just for the screen size, but then im going to say that as i have one hehe..... As for 6.5 on our prophet, the Rom takes up too much storage and requires more hardware than our beloved prophet can reasonably give, even if overclocked.
Also, as this is an english fourm, please also post a translation if speaking in another language.
ps, i sold my prophet with varanus 6.1 manila which imho was the best working rom.

Thx!!!I think HD is better,but it's too large to handle,it's a big problem to my little hands.
I know 6.5 rom takes up too much storage on our Prophet,and in China,6.5 seems not as suitable as 6.1 to Chinese people.Ha～Ha～
And the Chinese language,some words is useless to others except Chinese people,such as discussed some cookers in China,so that's why I did it.

Dear Yo,
This was really a bit off-topic... and not really a right place to express your feelings (feel from the other Chinese forums) here...
and not a necessity to make a new thread like this. (matter of saving forum resources... )
So I have had my HD2 a few months now and I've been happy with the stock look and feel.
Now I would like to start trying a few of the xda add ons and roms.....
However I do not wish to blindly jump...I figured I would ask the pros here.
So I would like to move up to the newer windows 6.5.x ( not sure what version were at), with the task bar at the bottom.
So I am on the Rogers Network ( Ontario Canada), with an Unlocked HD2.
I bought it on line but was unaware at the time I got wrong unit for here, as I only have edge...no 3g ( Unit from Hong Kong via Vancouver and ACEGSM).
No worries though, as I do not need 3G as I do so little on line on phone...Weather, a little FB, Yahoo mail, MSN Mail....so Edge works awesome for me.
So if I am to flash say mainly a stock look and feel to start, where should I start?
As said, phone came from Hong Kong
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila Ver. 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Ver 1.66.707.1 WWE
Radio Ver. 2.07.51.22_2
What would my best picks be for my unit?
Is there an Oficial HTC Flash that brings me to the updated windows 6.5.x?
Is there someone who could advise me on what way is dumb guy proof ?
I can flash, as I flashed my Typhoon enough times......but a Typhoon and an HD2 are 2 different beasts.
Many Thanks in advance for any who step into the Yoda roll here!!!!

hey man, instead of flashing a new rom why not try cht first. its an easy .cab install and truely is awesome. after you installed that, you can then go on to mod your phone with new clocks, skins....well just about anything really. cht offers a quality starting block to build upon. just a thought bud........

Many Thanks !! I will try this out first.
So I still nned to find out, is there an HTC rom upgrade to move me up to Windows 6.5.3 ??? (or what ever the latest version is )
Or is that only by using a rom from XDA?
The reason I ask is it would be nice for me to have the buttons along the bottom of the screen, rather then the 2 screen buttons and the start at the top.....my thumb is rather stubby, so getting to start is a 2 hand job
There arent any official 6.5.x roms with the bottom start button, you'd have to HSPL your device and use a cooked rom for XDA.
Check the stickies in the rom development section for all the info you need on this.
Im not gonna make an assumption as to which model of HD2 you have, if it is the american model (green and red hardkeys / big fat double chin) then you need to be aware of the radio your flashing....
Seeing as you got it from HK then its probably not that one, better safe than sorry though....
As long as you read up on the subject first and make sure your reading the correct information for your device you cant really go wrong.
95% of the "bricked" phone horror stories you see on here are down to people not doing their homework first....
You mention that you'd prefer a close to stock feel for a custom rom so probably either an "artemis" or one of dutty's roms would be your best choice....
To be honest though if your happy with the performance your getting from your stock rom then it might not be worth the switch unless you really really want the 6.5.x look.....
+1 on the CHT suggestion too.
A must have (in my humble opinion) for any HD2....
Hope that helps.......
Many many many Thanks !!! Both donwhann and conantroutman !!!!!!
I will try CHT first before a flash, then when I have read, reread, understand the steps required I will try the roms named.
I have to say XDA is an awesome place to learn....it was a godsend giving my SMT 5600 (Typhoon) new life. As my friend who now uses my old phone will tell you.
Now I will be able to keep my HD2 feeling fresh and fun, thanks to XDA and it's awesome people
Thank you greatly for the advise !!!
