Hi everyone!
I'm new here, looks like a great place. I'm not a programer but a techy. I need a little advice. I hope you dont mind helping.
I bought a phone in China that I need to convert to an english version but I'm very confused as to exactly how to do this (steps) and which files are best to use.
I think the phone is the same as a Milestone 2, it is model ME722 which has chinese OS 2.6.0.me722.chinaretail.en.cn / android version 2.2.2 / kernel version 2.6.32.9-g2bc8abf.
I work in china and US but cant read chinese. Right now I use a chinese SD card when in China and a US SD card when in US. After looking around I see some people have used a UK rom file but I have no idea of the steps or if this is the best file to use to do this. Will this convert the OS to english with updated english apps pre installed? What is the model number of the UK phone and might a manual be available some place for it that is in english.
This is my first droid and it apears that unless I use Motoblur I dont have some functions like email and ability to search and download apps. I would prfer to not have Motoblur and want just a open access phone. I would like to have Google play apps such as translat, that would be helpful.
Any help that you can give would be very apreceated.
Thanks, Bill

IMHO, for writing hebrew and reading it, I think is not related to the Android OS version.
Also, I think maybe the problem is that you can not change the rtl setting in chinese devices.
You could try to get a multilanguage rom for your device and check if hebrew is included.
But that was just my opinion.
Have a nice day!

Hii
Hebrew is not included in the languages menu.
But I read a lot about that android 4.0.3 support RTL - and don't matter if it's Chinese or not.
Hi again.
I have tested with my phone, SGS+ with "paranoidandroid" rom (ICS) and changed the system language to hebrew (i think it was) and I can write from right to left using the stock android keyboard.
I meant chinese phones are less supported and you will have a hard time searching a compatible rom or even rooting it.
So, question answered?

It's posible... but you need "developer's skills" if you want insert the italian language in your current Stock ROM. On the other hand, the "Easy" way is install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImpwLmNvLmNfbGlzLmNjbC5tb3JlbG9jYWxlIl0., and set your LOCALE (I assume is it_IT). In general all non system apps will be translated, and maybe some system apps too, or maybe not.
Another "solution" is install a Custom rom like CyanogenMOD. You can read this thread.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121029.

Thank you very much
+1. developer skills: - this is the most difficult and time-consuming solution (I made this, translate the official ME JB + official ME ICS rom's from English to Hungarian):
You decompile the main apps (framework-res, moto-res, blur-res, system, setup, phone, chinamms, browser, etc... cc. 20 app) translate the .xml files, put this in the res/values-in and recompile the apps. - it"s realy hard, but the earlier ME ICS probably has italian language support, If I remember correctly, and those files may help.
Hello everyone! I bought the M811 device of China Mobile. It is running on Android 4.3. Most of the Google apps are not working and even if you put the language on English, still lots of information is still in Chinese, which I do not understand. Therefore, I want to put another Android operating system on it, preferably Android 4.4 KitKat. I am not familiar with this at all, can someone help me?
4G
I have the same phone with the same problems as yours, also even if i have the "Network Mode 4G/3G/2G(Auto)" i can't get 4G and my friends next to me with other phones they can. So, is this 4G fake or what?
Also i made it to root it but i can't found any compatible custom rom.

I do currently have this device in my hand.
You can try rooting it and then you should be able to install gapps.
As no source code is released by CMCC(or at least I can't simply find it), upgrading to another version of Android requires a lot of work - possible in theoretic and possibly only possible in theoretic.
could someone please point me to a place that shows me how to root this phone

Your device is old, even if ROMs were built for that device at someone point, those ROMs would have been built years ago and probably would not be available anymore because the download locations/links have not been maintained, no one keeps stuff around that long.
First, to flash custom ROMs, you need a custom recovery.
I suggest you do a Google search for:
"TWRP for (your specific model number)"
If it exists" that will find it, if it doesn't exist, you'll have to give up the idea of using ROMs or you can build TWRP for yourself.
If you find or build TWRP, then so some Google searches for:
"Custom ROMs for (your specific model number here)"
Or
"Kit Kat for (your specific model number)"
Or
"Lollipop for (your specific model number)"
Or
"Marshmallow for (your specific model number)
If those searches don't find anything, that means there is nothing for your device. If you still want some kind of ROM, you'll have to build it yourself.

That's my question basically.... I REALLY want a newer android than Lollipop (the highest android mod I found here). Is there? I found this webpage https://tweakdroid.com/lineage/samsung-galaxy-young-gt-s6310-royss/ that says it's possible, but they don't have the ROM available, so I'm skeptical. I really want a ROM like that to exist because I want to move back to my old phone, as I'm addicted to my current one, but I still want to be able to use WhatsApp and Google Maps.
Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

The newest android version u can install is 4.4.4 kitkat, the lollipop download links are broken but i think there is a mirror avalible, tweakdroid is the fakest android rom site ever, they say u can install it (which u cant since of it low storage and ram amount) and they dont even give a download link.
This is so fake that when you copy the download link it shows
