Hi,
I need help.
Can anyone please offer me their time/experience to solve this problem and answer these questions? I would greatly appreciate it.
Before posting I searched the forum but could not find a solution. I read
"How to Change carrier specific (Videotron) firmware to original Google firmware?" and other threads but I don't think any apply to my situation.
I live in Japan but don't speak a word of this language and wish to retain original English setup.
My Jap carrier, Softbank, offers huge discounts to buy HTC Desire HD but their phone has Softbank Firmware.
I would like to retain HTC SENSE environment which is present on the phone:
1.
Delete the present keyboard - this one has the option to switch between kanji & normal - and install a normal SENSE English Keyboard
2.
Use swipe in English (and possibly in Italian)
3.
Update to the latest SENSE firmware every time it comes out
4.
Unlock the phone (it's Sim locked) to be able to use other carrier's sim
5.
Access Internet with Softbank's flat rate data access (if I use NON Softbank phones, for some reason, I am charged astronomical fees)
6.
Wipe off all the japanese crap (apps & settings) from the phone.
Can anyone help me with any or all my issues? Please? May I also ask someone to explain to me what's the difference between rooting and flashing?
Thanks!

I just obtained a new AT&T Tilt (8925) (HTC Kaiser) and I want to use it on the Rogers wireless system in Canada. I can use the phone and text but cannot access the internet and MMS. I spent an hour on with the Rogers Techs and still couldn't get it going. Does anyone have an idea as to the settings I need for the internet and MMS? Also this phone has the AT&T "today" page. How can I change it to reflect the "today" page that I have seen on the HTC "Touch" as I like the big clock and weather aspects.

not sure how things have changed ( or not ) ... but I'd previously used this fine with my HTC S621 ... now I'm a TyTN II owner but swear against a data plan in Canada ... now that rogers also announced they will carry the "iPuke" ... owners will be charge through the roof to really benefit the multimedia plan needed to enjoy it !
if this work or not for you, update the result so that someone else can benefit, will ya ?

I have the AT&T tilt and found that the proxy on the phone is the problem. It is a hidden proxy and you will not see one set in the network options. To turn it off there are 2 proxy files in a folder in the programs menu. One to enable and one to disable. You must use the one taged "ProxyDisable".
Another way is to delete all the network settings and run an updated Connection Wizard file. I tried to attached the one I'm using but the upload keeps failing. The one I use will see the network header from your SIM card and set up all the proper settings for you. I have downloaded several and none seemed to have Canada in the list. The one I tried to attach will prompt if you want to setup on Rogers right away! Surf until your heart's content
Google for "HTCConnectionSetup 1_0_30726_1.cab" and run it directly from your phone.
As for the Kaiser default look you are refering to (also seen on the Touch), you can flash your phone with a cooked rom or the official HTC Kaiser rom. The Tilt is actualy a TyTN II (codename: Kaiser). The only difference with the Tilt is the missing front facing camera and the AT&T boot intro and software. I did not like seeing the AT&T logo on startup as I'm on Rogers so I flashed it with the original Kaiser rom. I have tried many other but currently have Dutty's latest rom and it works well and is feature packed. Another way is to unzip and run the HTC Home file (I could attach the file this time!) from your phone to get the Weather and clock.
I perfer the cooked rom method as they can be much faster and have all the "bloatwere" and trial software removed. Many of them have tools and apps that are very usefull. Check out the rest of the posts in this forum and you will find everything you need to know on flashing your rom, even how to flash back if you need to get the phone serviced.
they just jumped in & asked for help ... then we provided possible solutions for a small consideration ( feedback of what works & not so others could benefit ..etc ) ... and they can't even return the favour !!!

Um... read 3 posts up (my first post on this thread)???? I had answered the first person's question and it will answer yours
My pet peeves:
1. People who do not use the search feature or Google
2. People who do not read the thread they posted to
3. Answering questions that have already been answered by another person asking the same question in the same forum
ur not the only one with those peeves...i'm sure a lot of us have them..especially ones that are really active and helpful
Hello every body
i just bought a cruise one month ago, but with a disabled GPS feature because it's not allowed in my country (grrrrrr) and i'm asking if i could enable it with changie the registry with out change the standard ROM to keep the warranty ?????? please help
thank you
Let me guess, Egypt? Or some other ME/NA country?
I am not aware of any other way except for flashing a different ROM. You could try searching the forum to see if there's an alternative method, but changing the ROM is your best bet.
What's the theory behind not letting people use GPS?

I think if you put on a standard WWE rom. Warranty should be fine not so sure though.
Same problem here (yes Egypt)
The problem is If I use a new rom I'm afraid I'll lose the ability of writing Arabic in SMS Which is very important to me. Does any one know of a rom that will use English and Arabic with an open GPS.. Is the version used in the Gulf area ok?
NB: I need my menus and Mobile in English not Arabic. I only need Arabic in writing some notes and in SMS
There are many threads on the forum about Arabizer software. Mobidiv or something. Haven't tried it but many ppl have deployed it on WWE ROMs successfully. Meaning you will have English ROM with menus and everything, but will have the capability to read and write in Arabic. Here's a linke to one such thread:

Hi,
This is a great great problem in my country without a solution yet:
Turkish characters are not shown in the recieved SMSs. Instead of them only a space there.
For example:
written by another phone and sent to android: "yoğurt yiyorum şu anda"
the recieved message: "yo urt yiyorum u anda"
The phones which are bought from Turkey and not flashed a custom rom don't have this problem.
They (actually, all the phones those are sold here, in Turkey) have an expression on their boxes: “This device is in accordance with ETSI TS 123.038 V8.0.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) and ETSI TS 123.040 V8.1.0 (or the code of the subsequent version) technical features that include all the Turkish characters.”
I think, the custom ROMs are not in accordance with these standards.
I have two android phones at the moment: a Galaxy Spica i5700 (bought from Turkey), and a Nexus S (which I bought from US).
Spica had the Turkish characters first. But I have rooted and flashed the phone, so lost the characters. Since I don't have the original ROM, I can not get them back...
Until here, I tried to describe the problem.
Now I will give what I have that can help to solve the problem:
1- ETSI links: They are not the exact versions but the closest that I could find.
ETSI TS 123 038 V8.3.0
ETSI TS 123 040 V9.2.0
2- An Original Turkish ROM: it's for Galaxy S i9000

It will be a great favor if anyone can solve this problem...
Thanks in advance,
Erkam

I think you are possibly doing this in the wrong area. I think that if you want traction with a change like this, that you would need to do one of three things.
1) Contact maintainers or on the boards of a ROM you like to use (Cyanogen, etc)
2) Try to get it noticed by Google on their official Bug Tracker and Feature Request Tracker for support in stock Android OS
3) Code the fix yourself, Cyanogen source and "AOSP" stock android are available, and introducing character-set capabilities into the messaging app aren't exactly trivial things, however, with time and dedication I am sure it is possible.
I agree that foreign character coding out of stock Android isn't always there, or if it is, it isn't universal across all of the stock applications (like your example of SMS/Messaging application). Does this do this also in GoogleVoice? Or maybe you don't have access to Google Voice since you are outside of the US.
First, I want to thank you a lot for spending your time to answer
I tried your second advice but did not get a solution, yet. Still waiting.
I wanted to try the 3rd one too, actually. But I need to gain more computer/coding skills to achieve that. I could not even find an understandable guide to learn (or maybe I am too noob to understand).
So, the remaining advice is the first one and I am going to take it immediately
As you said, since I am outside of the US, I do not have access to Google Voice, unfortunately.
But, if it is ok for you, I can send a message to your google voice to check it.
by the way, ofcourse, it is not only a problem of Turkey, but also Spain, France etc.. I could not find a solution in their forums, neither.
Thanks again, for your help.

I decided to repair my old Samsung Focus with a new screen. Since this will be my backup phone, I am a bit more willing to mod it myself.
I want to update the phone to 7.8. I know the easiest way to do this is SevenEighter. I read the long, LONG WP Cabs thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415) and have a few questions about the language packs:
1. For you ATT Focus v1.3 owners, what language packs did you select for a successful upgrade?
2. If I do not select all languages, does this limit what languages I can use latter?
3. Can I select all language packs without running into errors?
The other thing I have been having a hard time searching for is how to developer-unlock the phone. I know Chevron is no longer around, and I do not want to pay $99 for a developer license just to flash the phone with a custom ROM. Any ideas?
Thanks!
