Hi all.
Just flashed my daughters buggy Orange ROM Hurricane to the Russian Qtek ROM found in this forum.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to display in English, if it is possible? Or do I need to flash to a different, English-only ROM? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sjraar.
Sorry I misinformed you all by mistake. The Russian ROM works perfectly, but whilst I can change the language to English UK or English US via the Regional settings, everything becomes English (Menus etc) all text, except when you try to type a Note or SMS, then all fonts are in Russian.
Received SMS is in English, but I don't know how to change settings for the keboard/dialpad to be English input. I assume there must be somewhere in registry to change that, but i don't know where and what value to change.
Otherwise the ROM is perfectly stable and totally unbranded!
Anybody know what reg values to change? Any help will be appreciated plus it will give us all a clean, unbranded ROM in English!!
Meanwhile, does anyone still have a copy of the SDAII ROM? I've searched through the entire net (slight exaggeration!) but to no avail. Someone must have it or know of a download link that actually has it, and by that I don't mean the www.iris-crap link to Blue Angel ROM update.
Anyway, here's hoping.
PS. On the Russian ROM, all installed applications still read as English, actually everything is in English, except what you input/type yourself.
If anyone has a direct (working link) to the german ROM (SDAII), that would be better also as they use fonts more in line with the English ones, which would overcome the illegibility of Russian fonts in SMS or type/input.
Hope this helps.
There should be a way to turn it to English right? What if U turn local settings to English, and not just the language? Perhaps that would change it? I tryed it on my C550 (turning it to language English, and Local to Russian, then the date showed turned up in Russian... Maybe the other way arround it would do the same?

hmm, might look interesting Rafet, but I'm sorry to say I can't make a word out of what is been said on these pages...
Perhaps you could translate it for me/us? Thanks!
Yes, it does look interesting. It also looks like a Turkish version of the T-mobile ROM! Wandering if we'll experience the same problems of not being able to change the language with this ROM too. At least the Turkish fonts look closer to English than the Russian ones.
Oh yeah...changed all settings to English, but that hasn't affected the fonts when inputting data or receiving SMS's.
Still looking..but may give the Turkish ROM a go and will post my findings. Thanks to Rafet for the download links and Sjraar for your reply/intersest.
Eureka!!

Thank you very much Rafet. Your link to the SDA II ROM worked and so does the ROM, which I am happy to report is "ENGLISH". All's well with the world again and my daughter loves me again.
The update/flash ran smoothly and quickly and whilst branded with T-mobile stuff, the ROM seems ok. Will report back when [email protected] been extensively tested. Thanks again.
Don't how I came to this idea, but when you placed the russian rom on your device, did you turn-on T9 input for sms? Don't know where I read it, but perhaps that was the problem...

Hi again Sjraar. No I didn't initially but have tried it since flashing it with the ROM, but 'twas no use. It all remained in Russian.
I am however happy to report that the T-mobile ROM is much more stable than the previous Orange ROM that the device came with. No problems there at all.
My prophet is O2 XDA neo in German. I tried to change the language to English with the setting in regional setting as you said, but failed. nothing happened. are you sure that you just made some change in regional setting and then everything showed in english, including Menu?
Qtek ROM = No-go for me!

Yes jackeyz. All i did was go into regional settings and changed any and every option that related to English UK and the menus and allmost everything else ended up in English. However, as I stated previously, anything you would type/input into the phone would result in Russian which I can't read and any incoming texts/SMS were also appearing in Russian, so I gave up after searching for answers and coming up empty.
Like i said, the T-mobile ROM works perfectly and since having flashed it, my daughter has reported no problems at all. Hope this helps a little, but the Qtek ROM was a no-go for me.
Keyboard Language vs. Display Language
Gents, thanks for your suggestions - you've helped me to solve the issue I was fighting with for 2 evenings on my HTC Diamond.
Assuming that English is available on all devices "by default", try the below options (good luck):
a/ Initial language installation (e.g. Russian) => Russian Keyboard
- irrespective of Regional Settings change, this setting allows to retain special local characters/keyboard
- keyboard can be changed between Russian <-> English upon activation (e.g. during writing SMS)
- this set-up doesn't seem to impact Regional Settings (display language)
b/ Change of Regional Settings into English - Keyboard, Location, Language
c/ under Settings -> Personal -> Input Method -> Options, turn off “System Localization" – this setting seems to block activation of English Display and to revert Regional Settings into the Local Language, irrespective of any other changes to the settings
d/ upon synchronization with PC, suggest maintenance of the same Regional Settings
Hi,
I just updated to 2.1 yesterday and had one question:
Is there anyway I can set my location to a non-English country while keep the system language English? Currently I live in Hong Kong and here we use 8 digits phone number system while English(US) give us multiple "-" delimiters between digits.
Thanks
Hi,
You may want to try and use English (Singapore) / English (UK) for this.
Hi everybody,
I got a problem, i have a TCL S960+ imported from china. All is right but i have a problem with the language. I'm french and the phone got only English/Chinese. Its a LEWA OS 5. So, i want to hold english language on this phone (for the settings). But i want to have all apps in french. For that, i used Morelocal2 to set French. So, sinds i used morelocal2, the date on the lockscreen is in chinese and the "slide to unlock" on the alarm too.
Before i used morelocal2, the lockscreen was in english...
To conclude, i would like to get all settings in english(without chinese letters) and all the apps in french.
I think i have to modify datas in the intern files of android... File like "main.xls", i don't know...
i precise, my phone is rooted.
Thanks very much and sorry for my bad english.
I had a question that might be rare to you guys. I am a Chinese user, setting language as English (UK). in cm 12.1, I used to replace DroidSansFallback.ttf under system/fonts to change Chinese font.
In cm 13, under system/fonts, DroidSansFallback.ttf is no longer there. NotoSansTC-Regular.otf and NotoSansSC-Regular.otf are there instead. (Note: TC and SC stand for traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese)
I changed both of them, and they work only under phone language being set to Chinese. When phone language is set in English, the Chinese font remains unchanged.
My questions are, where does the Chinese font come from when phone language is English?? is there anywhere else in the phone that stored fonts other than system/fonts?
Is this question too particular thus no one knows? If i want to change the English font, which one is the correct one?
Hello ,
I found a Palm PVG100e for sale for a fair price. Its model name is PVG100E-2A1PWEA.
But it only has English, Spanish and Portuguese "on board" languages. The seller says "no language pack available". But I guess he omits "unless you root the phone".
What options do I have to change language to french on a Palm PVG100e ?
• Is it possible to manage language packs keeping its stock ROM (if I root the phone) ?
• Is it possible to switch to a stock french ROM ? If yes, where can I find stock french ROMs ?
• Is it possible to switch to a french LineageOS ROM ?
Thank you for your help !
Have a nice day !
Cobus.
Hello french compatriot !
Just found your thread because i'm also interested by this phone.
The simplest solution (without touching system ROM already installed) is to use one of those apps that can change locale (i.e. language displayed by apps).
It means all installed apps that already support french language (like google apps) will then display in french. But the system UI (settings, menus) and Palm apps will still display in English.
This app for example seems to do the job : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.langs.locales
I think this is the easiest solution, but will keep you in touch when i have received the phone
Hello zyva73,
Thank you for your smart and easy (albeit partial) solution !
I still hope for a complete french interface, but your clever idea is a good start !
Have a nice day !
Cobus.
If you root the device as described here ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...fixes-script-2020-03-11.4052477/post-83354187 ) you can chose French as your system language on the palm
Thank you cfkf for your input !
The howto you mention is a root + debloat method, as far as I understand it.
It is my understanding, that french is not included in some european phones.
The one I mentioned only would have English, Spanish and Portuguese "on board" languages.
I might be wrong, but to me, rooting a phone gives access to things that were present, but locked before.
Do you mean that french is present but locked on some PVG100E phones ?
I thought that french was absent to save space…
I'm not sure, but my experience is this:
I bought my phone through Ebay from a German supplier. When I first booted it, my only language options were German, English (UK) and English (US). There might have been Spanish, I'm not sure, but no more.
But after I rooted, I got a whole list of languages to select from. I even got to select Dutch (my native language). I am not 100% sure French was in the list (I don't have the palm on me right now) but if it has Dutch I'd be rather surprised that it wouldn't have French
EDIT: just to clarify, you only have to root, the debloat process is not necessary to unlock the other languages.
EDIT2: my device is a PVG100E, so European version also
Thanks a lot for your explanations !
I just checked now that I have had access to my Palm: with me, unfortunately it seems that while Dutch is available, French is not. Very strange since, well, French is insanely more widespread...
Still, rooting seems to unlock more languages and maybe some Palms have French? Might be worth a try.
Thanks for your investigations !
Can you please list the available languages ?
There may be PVG100E models for nothern Europe (with german, dutch, etc.) and others for southern Europe (with italian, french, portugese, etc.).
So in my system settings, apart from Dutch I currently have:
- Catalan
- German
- English
- Euskara (Basque)
- Galego (Galician)
- Portuguese
- Turkish
No Italian, so if you have this, this suggests that language options might be different between phones.
I'm under the impression that when I first booted the phone after root, I had more options, but I might be mistaken.
Strange that it would have a series of languages that are extremely uncommon (I didn't even know that Galician was a language - no offense) and it wouldn't have French... Maybe there are some legal constraints in Spain that any device that is sold has to have the regional languages as well?
In any case, even apart from languages it's a good idea to root and then debloat your palm. Does miracles for the otherwise atrocious battery life of this device.
Your phone has Catalan, Euskara (Basque) and Galego (Galician), three regional languages from Spain, but not spanish ! This is so strange !
There must be various languages sets for PVG100E phones.
The PVG100E-2A1PWEA version had spanish as a standard language.
What is the complete name of your PVG100E ?
