MDA compact's rock solid ExtROM or????

Hi all,
I have a MDA compact that was flashed from German to English without a problem. I have noticed that on the xda's ftp site the ExtROM 1.01.124 WWE version for T-mobile has not been updated to a newer version. The O2 mini has an 1.03.166 ver, I-Mate UK has an 1.03.163 ver and the Qtek S100 has an 1.06.115 ver offered. :?: My question, is it that T-mobiles version so "rock solid" (stabile) that no updated are needed at this time while the other HTC magicians have mulitple udates??? I just don't understand :?

correct
The T-mobile rom is one of the most stable and well engineered rom for htc. practically no bugs, no soft resets needec. I will never update this puppy.

Thanks for the reply, but, as a rule of thumb "never say never". I must say that I'm very satified whte the T-mobile rom but as far as I'm informed when I go to the T-mobile.de web and perhaps the Dutch web page there seems to be no support what so ever. This is what makes me very :evil: :evil: :evil: Hell, I-mate has their support site and so does O2, but not T-mobile.

Yes but
To be sure, I had an Imate for three weeks and returned it to Amazon. (Sound isssues + camera) Yes, they offered support, but this was because their product is crap, so they constantly have to update it, currently, they are still waiting for a rom update to fix the sound. I mean, a phone that needs a Sound update for the Phone sound? Bunch of monkies those club imaters.
I am much happier with T-Mobile UK, no sound problems, no camera issues, no planned rom updates. AND NO SUPPORT.
Do you know why?
Because their engineers built it right the first time! So I hope you enjoy all the wonderful support from clubimate, I didn't...

Thanks for the reply mate.

I should have added
I am sepaking about the UK rom, not the German or the dutch, don't know about those...

I flashed my compact from German to (WWE Dutch ver. but unlocked)
Never the less, still satisfied.

Are German and Dutch Raphaels with Standard English QWERTY?

I am planning to buy Touch Pro from either Germany or Netherlands because it is cheaper there and I would like to know from members from Germany and the Netherlands if the PPC comes with a standard english keyboard or a localised QWERTY keyboard. I am asking this because I would like to know if the keyboard is actually marked with "å","ö","ä", and other scandinavian letters.
I am thinking to buy now from http://www.2call.nl or anyshop from these list here
thanks

don't buy at 2call!!!
Sorry, I don't know about the keyboard layout of dutch or german Tuch PROs, but I know that you should avoid buying at 2call.nl.
I bought there. They delivered Touch PRO with faulty hardware and now refuse to take it back. They sent me to HTC to get it repaired (a 10 days old device, can you believe that!?).
HTC can't and tell me to contact the retailer again.
So now i am in an endless loop, wich 2call.nl should never have started.
Take my advise, buy somewhere else.
Regards,

Right now Expansys sells the WWE-Version (with QWERTY-keyboard) as well as the German version (with QWERTZ-keyboard) for nearly the same price here in Germany - llok at the Wiki for link. You can get the WWE-version on different shops in Germany, but it will become more difficult because now HTC and the providers started to deliver the German version - we had to wait a while until this happened ... So be careful and ask which version is to be delivered and shipped to you before ordering. In Germany, you may freely choose to send back the phone within 2 weeks if you do not like it (this is in fact EU-law, so it should work in NL as well - don't mention that is does not work or is defect, just send it back and claim your money back).

Dutch version w QWERTY
I have a Dutch version, it came with a standard QWERTY keyboard.

Thanks for the information. I am just interested to know if the keyboard is actually marked with "å","ö","ä", and other scandinavian letters.
Because I would like to know what to do when typing the "special letters"

Hi I have the german HTC version and its a QWERTZ and the scandinavian letters are NOT marked.

Thank you for this information. I will have to stay away from the QWERTZ keyboards Anymore info from the Dutch and other QWERTY owners in Germany and Netherlands? I also would like to hear from the British owners too.
I might be travelling to Germany, UK and Netherlands soon so I would like to have this information before hand to know what to go for.
A friend told me that even if I get the standard QWERTY without the scandinavian letters marked, I can download an available cab file and I can have them displayed by using Fn + a to get ä, Fn + o to get ö and Fn + p to get å. Is this really possible?

You dont need a cab - just use Schaps AdvanceConfig Tool (http://www.touchxperience.com/) an switch the layout to what ever you want. This is not a problem. I had a German Hermes and switched to English. Just don't get confused by the marking on the keys...

thanks for your prompt reply.
Does it mean that with AdvanceConfig Tool, I can have the letters easily without complicated button combination? I am still wondering how to get the ä,å,ö to my text messaging with this application...

Yes - at least for the german version it was like this. I flashed a englisch image, switched with schaps brilliant tool (its just changing registry entries) the layout back to german so that it was fitting again to the markings on the key. So I think it should work also the other way around, switch a german keybord to an scandinavian layout.

[Q] English on Acer Iconia A701 from amazon.de

I want to buy Acer Iconia A701 from amazon.de
I’m considered that being bought from Germany it would have user interface in German only.
Has anyone bough A700/701 from amazon.de? Do you have English language as an option?
What about those of you who have German ROMs like AV051_1.XXX.YY_EMEA_DE. Do you have an option to switch to English or the local firmwares have the local language only available?

The very first thing you do when you switch the tablet on for the first time is select the language.

And if I'm not mistaken, English is included in every Acer Rom, regardless of region.

So what is the difference between _DE, _FR and _CUS1 firmwares as they all support English?

likely different apps included on tab

It's the region. And thus contain support for languages specific to that region.
Also, there will be some different configurations such as APN's, and Wifi Configs.
As well as certain countries have restrictions on what can and can't be downloaded from the Play Store.
Although most of these issues are easily overcome with a few edits

7" TFT screen, A9 core 1.5ghz, 512 ram ddr3, 8gb internal memory, andoroid 4.0, has GPS, TF card support upto 16gb, VGA front camera.
NO bluethooth,
the model no. assigned by the manufacturer / vendor is ET-6018 , being sold on egmemory.com...
to be honest i knew that the tablet will be slow... but its so slow that even opening a single menu takes ages...
i cant return it as the vendor is being very A**holic...
i was wondering since i cant use it or return it... mite as well flash it with a custom rom.
please help me to identify this tablet's common name and if any custom roms are availabel for such device.

Some Info found
I managed to get a little further, and i hope the info helps? Im English but based in Aisa, and often have to source hard to find manufacturers. I couldnt read the model number in your last photo, but as it says on the back of the Tablet, it is made by a company called Easy Groups, who specifically manufacture Memory modules. The main website is egmemory.net
In the support section, they have manuals and firmware downloads, but i stopped there because i couldnt read the model number. The link to the support page is...... egmemory.net/download.php?lang=eng (add the 3 ww's in front)
The only ROMs i could see listed however, where Chinese ROMs but i would have thought there would be an English language option somewhere!
I hope this helps?

I also saw those firmware updates on that website and I clicked the one for the et-6018 and it took me to a dead page. The other links for the other models did the same

A little secret...;o)
If you do the non obvious and do a right click, then select open in new tab, it downloads the 'firmware' for the manual it opens a PDF in a new window.
Unfortunately the 'firmware' on offer is just a utility tool for upgrading and is 1MB in size called Phoenix Card and has a handful of DLL's with it. I did a little more digging and picked up hints to follow 2 models, CWM MK802 and CM10
I did find this though, i wonder if this would work, the author states its a slim custom ROM for the A9 but doesnt state its for any particular model...

lol....what tablet isn't made in China?
Sent from my rooted SCH-R880 POS

Made in China?
Those made in Taiwan perhaps??....
Seriously though, these little tablets are quite addictive to play with! When im not at home in the UK, im in Indonesia for most of the year, there is a local market that sells second hand stuff, like a flea market. I often find broken or used tablets for as little as $10 I have about 15 of them now. One i have hacked to the extreme hardware wise, inside i fitted a 4 port hub, a second camera facing forward, a wifi mouse and keyboard dongle, a broadband dongle and a second USB port on the side, maybe i should post this as an instructable? Another i have used the insides as a controller for an amateur radio transmitter.
