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.

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?
Please excuse my ignorance, but I am completely new to Android.
I've just bought the wife a new HTC Wildfire from Tesco. I now need to do two things: -
Add Thai fonts
Unlock it from the tesco network
I've downloaded the Anysoft keyboard from the Android market but it doesn't work properly bcse the Thai fonts are not present on the handset. It appears that I need root access to the handset to install them.
I also need to unlock the phone so that wifey can use her Thai sim card in the handset when she is in Thailand.
I've heard of an app called unrEVOked3 - would this enable me to do both of the above and is it simple and easy enough to use?
If I can use unrEVOked3, can I ever reset the handset back to it's original condition if it needs to be returned to Tesco for any reason, or does the use of the software permanently chnage the phone and completely invalidate my guarantee?
For the font question it would be best to ask in the Wildfire forum, but for unlock you can use this site http://www.unlock-now.com/
or if you google for more, you will find plenty
hi guys,
i need some help.
i've had to flash uk rom/fastboot onto my phone.
however in language/keyboard it does not have australia.
i need this as some of my apps run off these settings eg. hey tell app inputs country code based on language/keyboard set and there is no way around it even if i manually put in country code it still adds on the default language/keyboard country code.
is there any way of adding english australia on?
what's worse is i've tried flashing stock rom, doing asia recovery. that all works well and i can get english australia as an option but i can't do OTA update. i get an error.. a status 7 error. (i've posted this in another thread in development section).
any help would be great please!

Download morelocale2 from the market and set the region to EN.AU. It's a bit of a lifesaver at times.

thanks. ill have a look at that.
so it changes my default language/keyboard to Aus in the settings?
just confirming as that's what i need.
thanks. =)
If it's possible, then yes, it'll do it. Morelocale is utility to set, well, the system locale to any country you like, which - as you've experienced - is useful when your phone or firmware doesn't explicitly include yours.
In my case, I use it because the UK locale naturally sets the default currency symbol to the pound, and I need the dollar sign. Setting the locale to EN NZ effectively gives me the UK language settings I need with the currency symbol I need, so I'd wager it'll do the same for you.
It's free and doesn't need root access, so you can't go too far wrong.
In a few months time I'll be working in Taiwan for a year. I want to learn and type Chinese. My baseband is i9300xxlh1 and this is bought unlocked in UK. I had a look at my phone at the moment and it doesn't have Chinese inputs.
If I use Odin to flash the firmware to the Chinese one, would it actually break my phone? Or is there any way that would allow me to enable or install the Chinese language input? I tread through the forums and it sounds like I might be able to enable it just by rooting the phone and editing the language settings without flashing it.
Many thanks!
Just look at the Play Store for a free keyboard solution with chin support
It´s the easiest way i think
Yes, the firmwares are fully interchangeable between i9300/i9300t phones regardless of country and origin.
However as said installing a input method might be the far easiest way.
Alternatively you can ask if anybody could share the samsung-official keyboard apk for that location so you can install it.

I tried installing other input methods from play store but they are terrible. It allows you to type Chinese but the english word suggestion is a nightmare to use and you can't switch to the default samsung keyboard easily so I wanted to try the official keyboard apk. I'll google around and see if I can find the official language pack
Hi. I bought a Desire-X in Germany last week because I just happened to be there.
However, when trying to set it up, I was shocked to see there are only locales for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Even though the English language support is there, it's not for "English (United Kingdom)" which means that I can't get the right locale and right keyboard.
I can download some app such as "More locales 2" or similar and get the locale, but the keyboard is QWERTZ rather than QWERTY, so I also need a keyboard. I'd like to use the "standard" keyboard as it uses a lot less screen space than some of the others.
Can anyone suggest anything? If you know of a good app that gives me the locales and a decent, compact keyboard, please let me know.
Or...am I able to flash a UK ROM to the device? Or...maybe even a custom ROM that's already Jelly Bean??
Thanks.
Karl

Check your phone CID ("fastboot getvar cid" (usb), or download and install cidGetter (Play))
if HTC__102 or similar make a goldcard and reflash your phone with factory RUU (HTC_001)
regards
Hmmm. Not sure I quite know what to look for in the mass of stuff (that can't be copy/pasted!) from cidGetter! Or even what making a goldcard is about, but I can probably Google that much somewhere.
Should there be a CID line somewhere in the cidGetter dump?
