I have a question concidering the firmwares. Will HTC:s original/unbranded Magic firmware ever be released public or are we going to have to depend on the community extracting every firmware? Today it became clear that the swedish operator "Tre" has bought the right to Magic in sweden for the time being. Does this mean that a swedish wordlist/language won't ever happen for Magic unless using the Tre-branded firmware?
I can assume that if there is a Swedish firmware and people like Haykuro can get their hands on that ROM, they could extract the Swedish language and wordlist and include it in a custom build, like the ones they are building right now.
But i guess that they should be the ones confirming this

I read the wiki and most of messages for ROM WM2006, and i have a big question :
Any rom with french language ?
And with so many versions, what is the most stable and realiable version ?
A) It's WM6, not WM2006, they dropped the year from the name after 2003se.
B) Not sure, there are several localised versions, I am guessing someone has a French one ready built.
C) It seems to be largely a personal choice, I find Midget's, and the older Indra & Helmi roms to be the most stable, although Midget's latest one doesn't suffer from the memory leakage anywhere near as bad.
Several of the latest images have issues with WiFi connectivity when using WPA-TSK, and obviously Laurentis is here with videocall functionality, although I'm unsure if that's 100% or not.
So if this person could upload it...It will be nice and friendly

Hi all, I haven't been up to date and keeping up with the scene lately (I'm now using a newer phone, Nokia N900). So ya i haven't been using my Touch Pro all that much..........so forgive me for asking some stupid or noob questions
U see, my mom needs a phone just like the Touch Pro with the slide out keyboard that can type/txt in mandarin. And since my Touch Pro was purchased in Taiwan, the keyboard naturally has the mandarin characters on it, and since i'm not using it anymore i thought i'd give it to her.
But I remembered using the phone for the very first time, the stock rom was slow and crap. That's y I installed EnergyRom on it, and since i prefer english then it doesn't affect me. BUT as for my mom, her english sucks balls, so now i'm left with 2 options, either restore it back to the stock Taiwanese rom, or try to find a custom rom with chinese support......
I would prefer the 2nd option, because the sole reason y i found this forum and got into all these custom roms, is coz they're just so much better. I love EnergyRom for the speed and pure awesomeness, so would prefer if i can use a custom rom that has chinese support.
By chinese support, I mean using the keyboard to type chinese. I know there are programs like CEStar etc but those are slow and my mom wants to use the keyboard to txt instead of using the stylus or software keyboard.
So ya, does anyone know any chinese custom rom?? I already Googled for the past 20 mins and found none, i did find a few chinese forums but all their custom roms are just copied from here........
Lastly, what does "WWE" mean?? I saw a few topics with that in their title, but forgot what it means.
Update:
I'm about to download the stock rom coz i might decide to use it, but then i read something important in the middle of the page. It seems it'll change the radio version as well, is that possible??
Can someone please confirm this?? Coz i remembered the radio version of the stock rom sucked, that's why i changed it to a different one and is also one of the main reason y i installed a custom rom.
Also, i can't exactly remember the process of setting up your phone so that you can get it ready to install custom roms. All i can remember is something about the HardSPL?? So my question is, is it possible that if you install the stock rom, it'll restore the HardSPL back to the factory settings and everything else that was modified?? I.e, will i have to reinstall all that crap again?? Or is ROM the only thing that will be changed?? I'm just kinda unsure about this since the radio version might be changed, and i'm not sure if i can change it back to the one I want after installing the stock rom........
Here's the page if anyone can read chinese/taiwanese:
http://www.htc.com/tw/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=140&cat=2&dl_id=527
BTW, i did find a lot of custom chinese roms, and one of them is even THE SAME as EnergyRom, which is the June 19th 2010 build, it looks EXACTLY the same except that it's in chinese......most of the roms are very up to date, mostly updated to June 2010, and I actually just installed one of them and it's got chinese fonts alright, the output works fine and all but the hardware keyboard output doesn't work, it's still in english and doesn't output the corresponding chinese character that you type on the keyboard. So ya i'm still looking for solutions if anyone's got any.
Edit:
I found this thread and it has the language pack for Taiwanese (but the link is dead). I'm not sure how to use it though............can someone plz help?

Helloes
Okey:
HTC Desire (nordic) retail.
Want Froyo, had my device for too long so already bored.
Rec. for rom if you desire to add that in, since i'm searching around to find the best out there. found a couple high rated.
Language:
Since my friends do talk norwegian i was wondering if i can get T9 language in norwegian, I really dont care about the UI since i dont use Norwegian UI language.
Make a backup image of the ROM which is scandinavian retail image, if it exist or is it possible to make one, searched around and cant say I got any smarter.
More isnt there to it. I am looking forward to unlocking my phone, getting rid of all the sense uselessness.
Since the developer chose to be arrogant and purposely omit English (US) from the ROM... uninstalling. Too bad. Looks like it could have been nice.

Thx for the info
Really? I was thinking about using it too! I've come across that on a few roms and thought it was just like that. They always have UK (English) but not US. I'll be more careful cause that's eeffed up
Ever thought it's due to the base ROM being an EU (e.g. non-US) ROM? This would mean no US English (which we all know isn't real English anyway!! )
You can just use apps to enable other locales if you're that bothered
Oh bloody hell! . I've thought that too but I'm sure on all language packs that comes with different roms. I'll even use the bloody UK version on some roms, but with my butchered English it's hard to understand some of those British words! Lol! Thanks for the info Eddy
EU ROMs are fine. Over the years I've tinkered with them before. This is the first time I've come across one where a significant English language package was seemingly omitted on purpose. It's not a matter of being "bothered"; I'm simply choosing not to support a work that the developer has chosen to introduce what appears to be his personal politics into.
Chances are it's not in the ROM in the first place. Boot the ROM after a full wipe WITHOUT your SIM card and you'll get the full list of available languages

or just take a look into system/customize/CID/default.xml
and no en_US is NOT there by default but there is a way to add it.
Also thanks to the OP for pointing this out, I thought it had US in in the first place so I didnt check until now
hi,
my friend gonna buy i727 and want a rom with full hebrew interface on it .
i think the only options is full aosp roms like cm9 . i saw that there are few roms in the development section based on UCLA3 and UCLD2 . is anyone of them has full hebrew?
No. Wait for CM9, we have an alpha build available now in the dev section, try that
so, you want a jewish phone? just cut a piece of its foreskin and VOILA!
Tell your friend hebrew sux pretty bad on everything technological based. You can try hebrew windows and get pissed, facebook hebrew and get pissed and of course same for the phone's interface.
So unless its for an adult-old who cant get along with hebrew I don't really see the point.
Best option for him is to get a phone that is available here is Israel and just flash one of the companies hebrew embedded rom.
