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?

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.
I just flash my rom with CM7 Nighty GWK 74... But it haven't Chinese T^T
Be honest, I'm just a newer of root, and also that I'm not good in English.
I think that the apps all in English are still ok, but it can't show and type in Chinese ... This is a huge problem! Maybe I haven't read the information carefully and make it like this.
I like this rom so much and don't want to change it. Maybe someone can give me a hand to solve this problem.
I apologize with that maybe many grammar mistick. Hope you guys will understand.
Thanks for your help.

If I'm understanding right, you probably want Google Pinyin IME. Sorry if I've misunderstood.
Thanks for your help first. Maybe I'm really bad in Eng. So that you misunderstood what I mean:-(
I want to find mod/apps or something else that make me can support Chinese for my SGS2 first, then I can type in Chinese. Maybe this rom doesn't support Chinese. I've read a post said that some kernel or rom or somethings (this makes me get crazy cause I get confuse with it) support Chinese but some aren't. I think I must get that first.
Anyway,thanks

The rom would have to support Chinese, and barely any roms here do. I'm not sure if cm7 has or any of our cm7 have, but Miui should. And some other Chinese stock roms.
$1 gets you a reply
><!
Because I've read some topic said that different rom (or is that the cf-root ?) will support different languages. The language will show by the no. of it likes: zh jp (something like this) than ki kg ke and the numbers. (hope you gays understand ~.~ )
But I used xxkh3 and the Lightn'ning rom before, it can show and also type in Chinese with Go keyboard. I just get confuce with this cause I'm using xxki1...
Hope that I will not get mad just because of these numbers /.\
Although I know that I'm such an IDIOT in this topic. haha....

You're not an idiot, you're just new. We all were at some stage
Even I'm still learning a lot, and you only learn by asking questions.
Unfortunately, I don't know if CyanogenMod7 supports Chinese, but try looking under the language settings, in the settings menu
Otherwise, there is a fantastic ROM called MIUI, which is developed in Chinese (but there are English versions), and I think that would be the best for you. It also looks really, really nice, and you can customize a lot
Here's the site: MIUI (Chinese).
screamworks.
haha...I've tried few roms before and I failed.
My SGS2 have root for up to 30 times just because of install wrong kernel and roms.
Yesterday I've tried to install MIUI also.
This is a great rom. I tried to install a new theme but it looks strange
I don't know what's wrong...so that I restore my backup (2.3.5 XXKH1 GaLaXyZeRoS2.v.0.1)
There're many problems in my root life. I failed and failed.
Sometimes I really depression. Am I suitable for root my phone or I just like most of the people use it just for making a call? If like this, why I use SGS2? I just buy a Nokia 3310 for my call is ok
I'm still looking a rom that can fulfill my hope. I will try CM7 again and try to fix the problems. Hope that I can do it
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.

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!

Not entirely sure this is the correct place on XDA but here goes,
I bought a couple of Chinese Android phones and in general I am pleased with them.
I did however buy a HDC Storm MTK6589 1.2 Quad-core and asked for it to be with Danish language and off cause it is NOT !!
Are there any in this forum who has a HDC Storm OR a Firefly II (which are the same phones) who can cook or modify their ROM to a rooted, multi lingual, debloated and GooglePlay capable ROM ?
I can flash it using "Smart phone flash tool" OR CMW ( with step by step instructions as the CMW is in Chinese)
I bought this cheap phone for my 10 year old son and he is very pleased with the big screen but I am disappointed that I can not get Danish on it for him.?
By the way, I did try the ROM available on the "NeedRom" web but there is only one available and it is also without Danish AND it has a lot of Chinese on it as well.
Note: if I am in the wrong place in this forum then please do not hesitate to move it to the correct place.
Thanks in advance
Robert

Hi Patrick,
I did get Google play on the phone but not all google apps? I still can not get an English ROM without the Chinese??
Also I can not get Danish language on the phone.
Some games keep crashing on this phone as well???
I feel a little disapointed about the lack of support for this phone but I guess that is what you get when you try the cheapest....
This phone I bought for my 10 years old son and he seems happy enough.
I can NOT remember how I got the GooglePlay on it but I did try different ways? try to read HERE and HERE
hope you also have luck...
Robert
