Language context and better radio. Focus has 5 languages and radio is older compared to Omnia7.

@ender
have you switched to this rom, really worth switching
Also as someone mentioned that motion API bug, what about that

I didn't. Momentarily I'm quite busy and didn't have time to check it out, but it should be better than the AT&T rom. However, you should do this only if you understand what you're doing, being curious or unhappy with your current setup isn't enough. Expect a few things to possibly go wrong as this is a hack.
As long as you understand all these, you're fine.
Remember to make a backup before trying any of these and copy it to a safe location!

This rom hasnt drivers for Motion API as I said before, this is the main reason I reverted back to Rogers. I like apps like SkyMap, and Compass, these wont work on this rom, this is big fault imho. I was hopping that the OP will comment this, but he is like gone or something.

So I guess its nothing like routing and putting a ROM on a Android?

[Q] Anyways to add CameraSetting files under Mango?

I have updated to official Mango and that I found the camera settings is not displaying properly under custom added languages
I learnt that files can be loaded by touchexplorer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216975
but the problem's that I can't install touchexplorer under official Mango release
to install that means I have to revert to NoDo and applies ChevronWP7 again
So is there any method that I can load the xml file into a Mango device?
Would be appreciated if any tools can install the touchexplorer under mango without having revert to NoDo
Thanks in advanced
p.s. using Omnia 7, locked
"camera settings is not displaying properly under custom added languages "
Can you explain this a bit ?

Just use CAB sender to send your language packs to your phone, same thing happened to me on my Trophy and after I loaded the lanugage packs the phone tile started to work. If you want to roll back to 7740 with out a back up you'll have to find a stock ROM for your phone and start from scatch (speaking from experience). Just load your language packs one at a time and you'll be good to go.

What kind of phone do you have?
You need to use upgrade packages from 7740.. I'm guessing you have tried using full language packs that will "technically" upgrade you from original NoDo.
Check the thread "[CAB] Official WP7 Updates List: 7.10.8107 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates."
Find "WP7 MANGO LANGUAGE PACKS (7.0.7403.0 - 7.10.8107.79) - All 22 supported languages", and use packages that say "...diff-7.10.7740.16-7.10.8107.79..." to upgrade whatever languages you have installed on the phone (assuming they worked correctly in 7740).
If you are installing the language from scratch, all of the packages must be installed from start to finish (so NoDo, then Mango+ updates).
u can download all the cabs for you phone and then start the sender, it will only do the updates it can. i did the same thing.
Can I use Cab Sender to install previous version?

Manually upgraded my sprint arrive to 7.10.8773.98

After a long time of wait and search, I finally found one last piece, the 8112 OS, so I did the manual force update from 8107 to 8112 then to 8773. Everything looks Okay to me now, only the old wallpaper I was using was missing in the new OS, [email protected]! There're some changes, but nothing really matters to me too much though.
I did have big problems with MMS, I can't tell if that's fixed or not yet.
does it have internet sharing enabled?

No, didn't test that. I didn't unlock the phone. I'm not traveling at all, so very little use of the sharing for me.
What he is asking is does the new upgraded whatever you did have Internet Sharind in the Settings menu. If it exist, then it was added. If not, then it is not.
How did you mannage to upgrade your phone outside of a custom rom? Some fancy tricks with the Zune updater?

I didn't see the internet sharing anywhere.
There's a post on WPcentral about manual force update, not Zune trick. I tried a lot times with zune but nothing happened.link and they linked to xda for the OS files. I downloaded the 2 OS files for 8112 and the 0409 lang file, then 2 OS files for 8773 and the 0409 lang file, then followed the same procedure for 8107 update, but I only put one set in the folder a time, and I had no problem to update.

Are you sure the Freedom ROM has Internet Sharing working? Last I checked, the Internet Sharing was there, but it did not work and gave an error when you actually tried to enable it. I had to do some work to get Internet Sharing with static MAC working.
