You could just easily flash the official HTC WM6.1 ROM to it.

Make sure it is not locked to any phone provider. If it is locked, flashing will stop before it is completed, and you'll need the original phone provider's ROM to fix this problem.
Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung galaxy S2 from Virgin Mobile (i9100M). And I plan to bring it to China to a family member who can only read Chinese.
I have unlocked the phone using the galaxy_S app. However, the phone does not comes with an option to change language to Chinese as with most Samsung phones.
Now what is the easiest and safest way to have the laungage change to Chinese. I am thinking of flashing it to a Chinese Rom. I think any CM9 or CM10 rom also have chinese language support. My idea solution would be flashing it to a offcial chinese rom, e.g. a Hongkong version of stock ICS rom and next time I connect to Samsung Kies, it will recongnize my phone as the same one sold in HongKong, so I can update it in the future? But I don't know if that is possible and if it is risky.
Another solution would be flashing it to a stable CM9 or CM10 rom. Any suggestion of roms and tutorials for flashing?
I also know there is an app called morelocale 2, but it only changes the app name to Chinese, all my settings, menu and dialers are english, is there an replacement for them with Chinese lauguage support?
I would not be able to trouble shooting afterwards, so stability is very important. Any thoughts, useful links would all be welcome.
I understand there is a lot of different instruction thread in the forum for S2, I really have a hard time to go through all of them to figure out which is what I need, as I really just want an answer to my specific situation, (all I need is to have the Simplified Chinese language support), so I created this thread.
Thanks very much.
move to Q&A forum?
Mod, is there a way to move this thread to galaxy SII Q&A forum? Didn't realized that when I start the thread. Thx.
I'm sure they'll get to it in due time

I've got a CM10 ROM (Paranoid Android) and I just went to language and input in settings and changed it to Chinese simplified - in the menu it's at the bottom and looks like this 中国
（简体）. The whole thing changed to Chinese.
A lot of the stuff is still in English because the apps are that way, but all the important stuff is in Chinese, like the address book and messaging etc.
Put on QQ, which they all use, and wechat and you're done.
Good luck.
Thanks.
Can I flash it to a Chinese version of stock rom? I am just not sure if all stock version for i9100 model should work for this i9100M model? Ideally, I want it to behave like a phone bought in China, so they can update it via Samsung Kies to the next version of Chinese offcial Jellybeam rom when it is out.

Greetings everyone, before I made this very first post on the forum I can assure that I used the search option. So this is my little problem. A friend of mine just bought a phone made in China with Android OS (sounds pretty stupid to me). The problem is that the menu contains several sections where the english language is not available, but only chinese.
The most important thing I would like to know is what softwares should I use to upgrade the phone to a better version with full English menu, it would be nice to have Romanian language too but the main issue is to get rid of the chinese thing. The phone is using Android 2.3.6, if anyone could help I could provide all the information about the software versions of the phone. Also I can post a picture or the phone name if this helps with something. Many thanks!
Hi The phone make and model would definitely help. I'm sure you can't be the only person that would need english on that device!
What's the name of the cell....and intalling a new custom rom will solve your problem
Using XDA premium through A5
Press thanks on help
MCT 666 is the name of the phone. Another phone that he just bought is a Daxian XY 100. To be honest I've never heard of them before.
Search for their custom rom
Using XDA premium through A5
Well I did but I couldn't find anything so this is why I'm asking for help. Would Cyanogen help me with this matter?
Hello,
a new xda user :victory:, and a new Nokia 920 owner, tried to search the forums for my question but unfortunately ended frustrated.
I bought my phone in Kazakhstan and it doesn't support a Hebrew language for the system (Hebrew keyboard is enabled tough) and also it got many apps and stuff that is in Kazakhian (that I guess came with the phone and will be there every time I update the firmware or such - That's how it was on my Galaxy S3 from Germany).
I heard that I need to flash a version with Hebrew support and maybe it will even fix my other problem with the Kazakhian apps.. I heard it from a store here who wants not so little sum of money to do it.... so if he can... I guess I can do it too.
The problem is - I don't know where to get the rom or firmware that I need with the Hebrew Language, and also I don't know to flash or do anything that involves Nokia... I did on my Galaxy S3 tough, So I don't think It'll be a difficult to learn!
Thanks a lot for everyone who helps!!:angel:
why no body helps? anything? please help me!

Hi everyone.
I own a Galaxy S3 mobile device, and I haven't gotten an upgrade for a really long time. My current Andriod version is 4.1.2, and when I try to look for updates it tells me that the last updates are already installed. Maybe it has to do with me living in Israel and having the phone's language on Hebrew? Is there a way I can download the new update through the phone (Not from Samsung's website, third-party programs etc.)?
Another thing, today I started playing with Google Now, because as far as I know it's much better than S Voice, and it has support in Hebrew, which is really great - I don't know of any other program that can support Hebrew. When I searched something like the weather it did display it, although it displayed it in Hebrew and didn't read it out loud to me. I tried changing the Google Now language to English, so I had to ask in English, but the results were still in Hebrew and therefore weren't read out loud. The only thing that made it change was changing the phone's language to English, something I don't want to do, because I want all the settings and words to be in Hebrew.
Another issue is that if I said "Open Youtube" it didn't open it when the phone language was set to Hebrew, although it did open it when it was English, even though this whole time Google Now's language was in English.
Lastly, when I changed the phone's language to English, all of the sudden there were alot of cards with information in Google Now, although when it was in Hebrew there were no cards at all.
Is there a way I can have all these features without changing the whole phone's langauge to English, even if it means it will show all the information in English?
Thank you very much and I'm really sorry I wrote alot
P.S. Sorry If I had any grammar/spelling mistakes, English isn't my mother language, and sorry if I broke any of the site's rules, it's my first post in this website, and I couldn't find an answer to my problem anywhere.

There are tons of articles online how to update through kies/odin, just google it..... there is a latest firmware out there, try it....
Would you be able to do that?
And there is no coming back after your on 4.3 if you don't have a backup your efs (it converts your efs v1 to v2 ) Edit : except ML4
and it requires root access so make sure you know it.......

You can go back to 4.1.2 just fine as long as it's MG4 or above. I downgraded from 4.3 to 4.1.2 just fine, didn't lose my IMEI or need to restore my EFS (although I did have a backup anyway, it wasn't needed).

I know it does, I was just pointing out your "And there is no coming back after your on 4.3 if you don't have a backup your efs" isn't exactly correct.

Yes, but I want to update through the phone's update system and not through other programs, but it tells me there aren't any updates. So I just have to wait untill it will be released?
And what's so bad about 4.3 that alot of people want to downgrade from it?
Thanks for the help

They are the same, just different csc codes and modem, is not much of a problem.
Samsung pushes it's updates in parts depending on the region.... I also was like you waiting for the official update to come through OTA but my patience broke,,,,, i had to update.......
Some (older versions of 4.3 ROMS) are quite buggy, they have wake up lag, lockscreen lag, random reboots, notification problems etc etc.
I am on 4.3 and face none of these, and to me, the device seems more fluid and battery friendly..... I'll recommend you to move on!
