I did some searching around the web and haven't been able to find a way to get UK English on my Vibrant. I did notice while playing with my store's demo Nexus S device that it supports the language by default (as well as several others), so my question:
Would it be possible to grab the UK English language from a Nexus S system dump and "import" it to my Vibrant (if so, how do I do it)? Or is it just a feature in Gingerbread that I'll have to wait for a proper port to get?
Thanks.
So, am I just SOL until I get a full 2.3 ROM?
Probably so. When you buy a U.S. Market phone these things happen...

I have owned the HTC tytn II before and i have bought the Touch Pro recently, I have browsed a lot of information on the forum and the only thing I've tried with my Kaiser was the Kaiser tweak.
There are a few questions i would like to ask if you guys can help me out
1. I am ordering the TP with 900/2100Mhz for WCDMA, I am currently studying in the US and will be moving to Hong Kong shortly, I wonder if 3G will work fine in HongKong?
2. Since i am from Hong Kong, sometimes i do use Chinese for various things and I would like Chinese to be supported by the phone as well. What is the best way to do it? I tried CE-star with kaiser with yahei.cab and it worked fairly well, but the music player from the touchflo interface can't recognize any of the Chinese song name at all. On the other side, i am looking at the possibility of installing Chinese Rom in the TP so i will be able to get Chinese support by the phone natively. On the other side, i really would like to have a English interface so is it possible to cook the ROM in the way that it is English UI and it supports Chinese at the same time?
Thank you for all you guys help. I have been browsing for a lot of stuff on this forum, but i really can't seem to find a solution for the 2nd question.
Check out this thread for ways to get Chinese support. The easiest way i would see it is that you install a Chinese ROM and have built-in support for it.
Which thread?
Ah, sorry about that, forgot to link that thread. Here it is.
Thanks a lot, that actually looks great to me!
By the way, a third question comes to my mind, is there a way to create a custom input method for Windows Mobile?
I would like to create a input for Windows Mobile such that inputing specific sequence of letters will give out specific list of words which i can choose from...using the keyboard
I am looking at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb158689.aspx but i have no idea what it is trying to say
There is no WCDMA 900/2100 network in the US, but you can still use the phone on regular GSM networks (AT&T or T-mobile).
I don't know the details but you should be able to use WCDMA 2100mhz in Hong Kong (3, CSL, PCCW, Smartone):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Deployed_UMTS_networks#Asia
However there has been some talk about China shutting down WCDMA networks to replace with its own TD-SCDMA networks, so there could be some problems.
For the MP3s, make sure they are properly tagged; Most PC software can read non-English tags even if they are encoded improperly, but the TouchFlo3D player is picky. The easiest way is to use ID3v2.4 tags with UTF-8 characters. A program like Tag&Rename will update all of your MP3s to use ID3v2.4 + UTF-8.
There is a little update to my current problem =) Just got my Touch Pro today and tried various things...
Displaying of Chinese is easy to be solved, basically various cabs can do the trick.
Inputting Chinese, however, is pain in my a$$
I've tried to install the hand writing way of inputting Chinese by different methods.
1.) When i used CE-star, everything worked, but when i use the TP with keyboard, all words mess up and i can't see anything i typed...(although it will show up again when the keyboard is closed...)
2.) When i tried the other cabs recommended in this thread, the Chinese input only work when installation of complete install of the input method, which means i cannot choose only the handwriting input. I will have to also add that if the handwriting input is chosen as default, it will crash the system and i will have to do a hard reset.
On the other side, if the complete install happened, i cannot type english thru my keyboard(not even numbers...)
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
I am an android user myself on htc desire. Friend of mine gave me dell streak and asked if I would be able to load rom with polish language. Is something like that available? I can't seems to find one. Also the phone is supposedly factory unlocked but it used to be on uk O2. If I root the phone, could I lose the unlock? I have done root on my desire but my was never locked so I'm not sure. Last question what is the status of rooting on streak? Can it be done on froyo?
Thank for any answers.

Hi,
I am using Streak 5 imported from UK with Android 2.2.2 version and it does have Polish language, the only problem is lack of Polish letters on the virtual keyboard - they appear on the screen when I get SMS, or type them in to the phone book using my PC connected, but I have not found the possibility to input them directly on the phone. My one is unlocked, I have not tried Gingerbread yet, so I do not know if it has Polish, from Polish forum I just found out the korean release has only 2 options - Korean or English.
Being an English speaker/writer I have not had occasion to use other languages, but I do see that some replacement keyboards do offer other languages.
Doing a search in the Android market turned up this keyboard.
Is it possible to change the region to USA to get English? The best that I can do is get Singapore English which is off some. Bought from vendor on Amazon and he was clueless where it was from.
If the language isn't there, its not there. The region is set in the ROM, so there is no way to change it, without being able to flash a new ROM. So your best hope is for the devs here to achieve S-Off and root, and then you can load any ROM on the Flyer you want.
Actually try this app, Localeswitch (yes with an e in between) I'm amazed not many people know about it!!

Have you actually tried it, and does it work? Meaning, does it allow display of languages not normally selectable on your device? The app description doesn't say much about what it actually does. If the language is not already in the ROM, I don't think this app is going to magically make it appear. But the question then is, are the languages already in the ROM, but just not normally selectable from Sense (hidden)?
It is possible.
Search Android Market for an App called "Set US". Install the App and Run it. The App will seem to do nothing for you but it resets the locale on your Flyer to US locale.
If your Flyer has a 3G SIM slot for insert the a T-mobile USA SIM that works before you perform the steps above as HTC uses SIM identity to determine the region of operation your HTC Flyer in parts.
Hence, if you a USA SIM inserted, your HTC Flyer default to showing prices in the market in US $. If you use a UK SIM, you will see it in British pounds, etc.
Hope that helps.

If it's not under the normal language settings, I'd contact your phone operator/the place where you bought it. Given that it's Spanish you shouldn't be the only one with this problem.
EDIT: actually, I just googled a bit and apparently the really ship it without Spanish? If that really is the case and you absolutely need the phone in Spanish you might need to root it and use another rom (phone-software). Check the S3 forums on xda, ask around there what other people did to solve the issue.
Thanks
Thanks. Yeah. It sucks that most Samsung phones in Canada only have 3/4 language choices.
Inglish, French and Korean. Question......if i change the room, can i use stock rooms from other carriers that are similar models as my phone?
I recently came to possess a strange little android phone that I can find next to nothing about on the internet. It is a Duxiu LM S6. It was in an Asian language but I was able to do a factory reset in recovery mode, and then change the language to English. However, it has its own proprietary app store that is NOT in English, and there are still some things in the OS in the original language. I would like to let my kids use this phone for games and music, but I fear that to do that I need to load a custom ROM or something so that I can have access to the google play store. Does anyone know anything about these phones and where I might find some resources to help me?
