I would love to decode the extended rom add and delete the stuff I want so the customization would be what I want!
What we also like to know is the decrypt passwords for the nbf files. Till now I know that only for the Arabic Imate ROM the passwords are available!

1. For Greek users, is there anyway, other than PenReader and InterKey (both of which I have) to have Greek enabled on my Blue Angel? I tried the software that is similar to "letter recognizer", but I dont like writing latin characters so that they can be regognized in Greek.
2. when I write a message (SMS) in greek using InterKey, and send it to any other phone (Nokia, SE, Moto, etc), they dont see it. The letters come up as little squares. Anyone else have this problem? how is it fixed?
3. Greek ROM - (localization and such) - where can I get it? ;-) ( I hate it when other people use my blue angel - changing the language deters them. I had my P800 in greek all the time and no one messed with it)
Thanks!

I just dont get a single word
I'm really interested in customizing my ROM since I dont use too much of the tools it contains. Unfortunately I dont speak any greek - would it bother you to continue in English ??
Thanks a lot!

You are right! Sorry my friend but there is no tool yet for decrypting the extended ROM of Magician! I hope we find a programmer soon that will make it possible.

I just wanted to ask if i could customize my arabic extrom?

English PPC, Danish PC conflicts

I'm having some troubles with my contacts, appointments etc. I have chosen to have an english PPC because most software etc. is in english anyway, but my OS and Outlook is in Danish so I get double appointments for birthdays etc. e.g. both one in danish and one in english. What can I do?
I'm thinking of switching to the english Outlook that came with my PPC but since it's only 2002 and I have 2007 now it's quite a step back

What do you mean by 'get double'?
Do you enter them twice - once in English on the PPC and once in Danish on the PC or do they somehow duplicate them selves?
In the first case, there is no reason to suffer. WWE (World Wide English) ROMs come with Danish locale in regional settings. Also I believe the fonts on the device should support any extra characters your language uses so all you need is a proper virtual keyboard.
Just google for a 'Danish keyboard for PPC'. You can install extra keyboards just like any other program.
If I am wrong and your language alphabet is not included in the fonts on the device (does Danish use Latin / Western European characters?) you can always copy the fonts from your PC.
This way while your PPC will be primarily in English it will still fully support reading and writing Danish.
If it is a second case - though I can't imagine how something would get automatically translated I am not sure what the solution is.

Well it is the second case, I guess it's because both the PPC and Outlook makes the appointments based on my contacts.
I have made the changes to regional settings and also use a danish keyboard plugin. Danish uses Latin /western.
Would it be a good idea to switch ROM maybe to danish version? Or maybe I should just bite the apple and get windows/office in english.

I take it now that you changed the region it still happens?
One last thing you could try before more desperate measures:
Backup your device (you can use SPB Backup trial if you do not already have a backup), then using the built in file explorer rename pim.vol (in root of your device) to something else and reset. This will delete all your contacts, appointments etc on the device. Now back your pst file on the PC just in case, and sync the device.
If nothing went horribly wrong all your info should be in Danish and the duplication should go away.

T*Omnia English Translation of menus and Dialogs from Korean..How??

Hello all
A friend of mine is living in Korea will bring me his new T-Omnia next week. The ROM that comes with it is in Korean and he has some trouble navigating though it as everything is in Korean. I tried to find a WWE ROM for the T*Omnia but got nothing.
Question: is there an easy way to translate the menus and dialogs to English.

It won't be that easy. The T*Omnia is sold only in Korea, so no WWE ROM's exist for it. There are software solutions that can translate the menus in russian or bulgarian but I don't think something similar exists for english as it is the default language if WinMobile If course you can try to hack some other translation of WinMobile (bulgarian for example) and apply it to the T*Omnia but there are still 2 issues:
1. No guarantee that such a solution will work with korean ROM. It's intendet to localize WWE ROM's. On the other hand a friend of mine localized a NL Diamond ROM successfully, so it may be worth a shot
2. The T*Omnia has a (still) non-standart resolution. Just look at the HD compatibility list for problematic apps So this is also a possible issue.
Anyway. Here is the link to such a localization program. It supports a number of languages, so it may be of some help to you.

you could always cook us an english rom- i would love a T*Omnia running english!!!

none of the software in the link seem to have the ability to localize to english
i guess having the ability to simply have the main menus in english is "good enough" untill Samsung releases a WWE version of the rom. if someone can help with that, that would be great.

anybody can help with this?

I second this - I have a sch-m490 could anyone cook an english rom.

Same here, need that rom badly. Anyone please?

BUMP please help with this. Im in korea and i really cant use my phone right now. I couldnt enjoy my omnia. Please please help.

Please guys im so desperate here. Anyone please.

Is not impossible but it requires a lot of work....search for kitchen and wwe ROMs.

Thank you
But please put Link to this page so I can reach it easily

For the Vox, frauhottelmann has created wonderful multi-language ROMs and he has released a VOX kitchen, too. So you should just play with this kitchen and learn. The basics are:
1.) Applications (also of the OS) usually have dedicated language resource files (*.mui.<nn>) where <nn> indicates the language code.
2.) Settings / control panel translation is very difficult and adaptation usually depends on the availability of a matching lang.vol file
3.) T9 language dependent libraries are independent of above and are the easiest part to add for other languages. There are even installable versions for that.
1+2 are also linked to some simple registry changes.
You can lookup any thread for Windows Mobile dealing with translating ROMs - there are no differences between devices.

Multilingual ROM

Hi all!
A lot of users want to use several input languages in their devices. Why not cooking a really multi-language ROM supporting UIs in different languages and multiple keyboard layouts? It is possible as some devices (e.g. Samsung OmniaPro) are delivered with a ROM supporting UI and HW/SW keyboard resources in several languages which every user can switch. I've also read about such custom ROMs for HTC Touch. Additionaly, in ROMs for non-latin languages (like Russian, Chinese) user can switch between latin and national keyboard layout by pressing the SYM button, and there are solutions like AEKMap.
What is to be done to create a ML ROM work, is to integrate
1) *.mui system files for several languages
2) an app (basically a registry updater) where user can activate a particular UI language and which keyboard layouts (one, or two, or maybe three?) have to be switched by pressing the SYM button.
My personal use case is as follows: I own a HTC P4350 with standard German ROM (6.0) and QWERTZ layout and need two things: 1) the additional Russian input for the hardware keyboard and 2) Russian UI. The only way now is flashing a Russian ROM - which will alas change QWERTZ (Ger) to QWERTY (Eng) and then using a tweak to set the layout back to QWERTY (yes, I've read those threads).
I've experimented a little bit without flashing, just by copying *.0419.mui files to the device (0419 for RU) and editing the registry like advised in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366756. However there is obviously more to be changed or added than I could discover. The best method to catch all the differencies is probably to compare two registries of same ROM version but in different languages, or to check solutions for other devices.
What do you think? Can someone try to cook a ML ROM? No matter WM 6.0, 6.1 or 6.5.

You see the main problem in doing that is the conflicts that would occur in creating a ml ROM.
But what we can do is install apps like FingerKeyboard with ml support and doing as you're doing.
But the conflicts I am talking about may render your device useless.

Tribulattifather, thanks for your point.
1. Why should there be conflicts with P4350 if there are apparently none with other devices? Which conflicts for example?
2. FingerKeyboard is for the screen keyboard, but I'm talking about the hardware keyboard.
Look at this:
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa911786.aspx
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa913008.aspx

I apologize, I forgot to mention the problems in my last post. You see, I have actually tried to adopt a similar theory. The problems that I faced where in the process of cooking the ROM. The ROM would not boot. And when I finally got 1 ROM that was a German/WWE combo, the device would constantly shut down because the device was trying to call to an operation expecting one thing and getting another.
But maybe we can figure something out from an already cooked ROM in WWE. I will experiment and let you know what I find out.

Tribulattifather, what you describe sounds more like a kitchen problem, because, as I've already mentionned, there are official multilingual WM ROMs. I have another mobile device, a Samsung OmniaPro P7330, which runs under official WM6.5 with a ROM supporting English US, English UK, German, Italian, French and Spanish UIs. There is a menu item in Regional Settings for switching the UI, it requires a soft reset, and voila, after the reboot everything is in another language (but not the keyboard layout).
On the other hand, official ROMs for non-latin languages like Russian support two input methods, one for Russian and one for English.
It would be great to figure out how it works. Can a look into registry dumps from a Herald with Russian firmware and from my multilingual-UI'ed smartphone help you?
