I'm ready to convert to Android! My current phone is an HTC Touch Pro 2 (Rhodium). Or at least it was, until it was bricked during a failed update (corrupted bootloader). Now I'm using my backup phone, a Chinese "shanzhai" Nokia copy (says NDKLA with the D looking like an O and the L looking like an I). It's time to buy Android!

I loved the Touch Pro 2 because it not only had a touch screen, but a pull-out keyboard as well. I live in China, which means I need the touch screen to write Chinese characters, but for writing English I prefer a real keyboard. I can't stand soft keyboards otherwise I'd get an iPhone. Can anyone recommend a decent Android phone for me?
Considerations:
1) I assume I'll install Cyanogenmod on it, but I don't know how yet.
2) Price isn't too much of a consideration, but I gotta have that keyboard.
3) Asia so it's a GSM phone.
4) Some phones for the domestic Chinese market have wifi disabled, in order to generate more business for China Unicom's 3G service. I can buy from Hong Kong or the Chinese gray market if I want a "real" phone.
5) How's the Chinese (simplified) input method on Android? There were several input methods on WM 6.5, but some of the third-party ones (QQ, A4) remapped the keyboard so that SHIFT and CTRL didn't work correctly.
Thanking everyone in advance to avoid irrelevant "thankyou" posts!
5, android can read any language. But if you want to write, you can use different keyboard from market. I'm a Chinese too . We don't have control and alternate button on keyboard.
You can log in into cyanogen website and check the supported phone

Someone recommended the Xiaomi phone. Does it have English version in the custom OS? Swype? It has a big fat battery and a 1.5GHz processor!
Someone else recommended the HTC Desire Z and Xperia Pro. Any experience with these?

WWE DEAD
My ROM is with oringinal things with Touch2 and theres something changes
Opera 9>Opera 10(With Manila2D Tab Support)

PocketSheild(canceled because a lot of problem that sucks me. I am just a rookie cook!)
Resco Photo Manager+Explorer
Known BUG
The Android Lock not support LANDSCAPE mode
PocketSheild is not activated(There's reason for this,see#2)
Part Release:
CHT ROM (Android Lock):MEDIAFIRE
Others uploading(WWE Estimated 3 days because of language problems)
WWE is dead because I still have some other important things to do. This project actually just for fun.(SORRY)
Screenshots:
The reason that I am not activating PocketShield:
The non-activated version of PocketShield can let you download 1 of the theme, which is the HD Mini theme. If you dont mind at the theme, ignore this message and download the crack file immediately, if I activated this, it will show the message like this photo
. So DO NOT activate it before u downloaded the theme(Sorry for the bug)
Thanks for sharing, it will be a good a idea if you post if this rom will be WWE also.
Thanks for sharing the rom support wwe lp 0409 good...rom ASIA

Hi I recently got an Xperia x10 from a store,no data plan etc. (not from a phone company)
however when I start the phone, the Rogers logo flashes and what not.
I am currently in Canada, (NA)
I used the installed application on the phone (PC companion?) to update my phone, and it runs on 2.1 now.
However, I can no longer use my chinese keyboard when typing, even though the settings for chinese keyboards and inputs are still there, I can no longer change the keyboard or have chinese as an input language.
Furthermore, I was using the wifi on my phone to access the android market to get another chinese IME and the aps never seem to start the download.
I was wondering if these are side effects of the 2.1 update, or maybe theres firewalls or something blocking android market access.
Any information regarding this is greatly appreciated,
I have no knowledge in the fields of unlocking or unbranding and haven't have done so with my x10.

hi,
you`ve lost chinese keyboard because when you flash your phone to the new FW he gets FW from Rogers, witch seems, don`t have chineses keyboard.
try to flash your phone with a generic FW and you will get that keyboard (i think, at least when i did that i have that one).
you can get the latest one HERE or HERE.
please make sure you´ve read properly all instructions
Or you could download and reinstall it - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849

You do not have te edit Registry, just install the keyboards you like and switch to them while pressing and holding the little keyboard-icon @ the bottom.

NULLkeyboard
This driver installs as a selectable virtual keyboard and it's useful to avoid keyboard popup when you don't want to input data (file display, gaming etc.) or when you are using an external keyboard.
Note: I have some color issues after I used this 'NULLkeyboard', therefore I'm switching back to my preferred (FingerKeyboard2) keyboard and then Reset the phone to solve this.
Hope this helps,

Hello,
First of all, my phone is an Huawei P8 Lite ALE-21, bouth in September 2016, it's ROOTED, I've followed this thread to change the ROM : https://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994, to see if was changing anything... (nothing has changed I reassure you)
I'm getting a problem when I want to share my 4G/3G/2G connection to any devices with the Wifi access point :
Using the default parameters in the phone :
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The users can connect, get an IP, and communicate with others without any problems, but here comes the troubles ;
When the connected users want to use the Internet, they open a web browser page and, they are automatically redirected to this kind of page :
Yeah I'm French, but this is saying that "YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR SHARING YOUR CONNECTION!", and I'm not hating capitalism but... I really want to find an other way instead of... PAYING.
This is what I tried :
1 - Changing the ROM to an official Huawei's one -> didn't worked
2 - Trying Cyanogen -> did not detected my SIM, so didn't worked
3 - Trying a dozens of application of transmitting the wifi -> didn't worked
This is what I'm thinking about:
1 - First option, the problem should come from the routing of my phone, which is maybe asking an new IP to the operator... Which has detected it. LUCK ! I'm rooted so in the theory I can break anything in my phone (Changing the Routing tables?).
2 - Second option, my operator HAS FULLY DISABLED THIS FEATURE TO EARN MORE AND MORE MONEY. Wrong, my old phone still can do it (Wiko IGGY) with my current SIM card.
What solution should work in any cases:
1 - Explode my phone into a wall
2 - Buy an IPhone 12
3 - Ask xda-developers who as SOO helped me before <3
I hope somebody has a solution... Else I think I will change my phone...
Thanks for helping me!

Hello everybody
First time poster thanks for the help in advance. Please note I am a total novice when it comes to anything like rooting or unlocking boot but i can follow instruction if you leave them.
I bought my phone from Ali express global launch event. When I received the phone i noticed some basic functionality is missing for example : Gallery, File explorer, CAMERA APP. and so on.
It doesnt make sense, my camera works through whatsapp and such but no dedicated app.
I am starting to think the firmware was faulty. Waited for few updates hoping it will sort itself out, but no luck.
Now I am considering installing stock firmware but I have no idea where to start. I have downloaded few roms "different versions?" but i don't know how install them on my phone. They are on the root of the phone storage but i assume i must root my phone to get fast boot ? because i tried restarting with holding volume down, after language selection i can chose between wipe and reboot no update option.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you use the App Drawer view, you may find the missing icons there.
In settings/app-management/app-list you will find all installed apps.

Only found files in app list but I can't open it. Other apps have options of : open, uninstall, and force stop but not this app. For the other apps like camera and gallery they are not there. Do you think a fresh install of stock ROM will help or no ?
If the apps are not displayed in your app list, the best thing you can do is do a factory reset.
Which firmware version do you have on the GT ?
The GT was in its original packaging and shrink-wrapped when you received it ?
Ya it was brand new. Bought from Realme official store.
I see your firmware is A 16 mine is A13 but when I check for update it says am on the latest version?!
Also my Google backup is greyed out so factory reset will set me back big time.
