I have long searched all fora and have not found much, so please excuse my new post ...
I moved back to Germany with a HTC Touch Pro2 branded by Verizon. However I am no longer Verizon Wireless customer.
I would like a German ROM on my handset, possible a WM6.5-based ROM and, of course, it needs to be CDMA radio compatible as I read in most of the posts that a GSM ROM would wreck my device.
At present there is still the newest WM6.5 ROM from Verizon (3.04.605.3) flashed on it, but the radio (2.32.00WU) is already Security and SIM unlocked (I applied Hard-SPL).
Does anyone know a CDMA-based ROM in German?
Thanks,
Mat Fred
Is you reasoning for a German ROM purely language?
I think you can use any CDMA ROM and just use an international SIM card.
there isn't a german cdma rom
Yes, my main reason for a change to a German CMA ROM is language as it is kinda enoying to get english spelling hints when texting for example.
But also I would like to get rid of the Verizon branding since I am not using it anymore.
-Thanks

We are CDMA, so all of those GSM world ROMs CANNOT be used. Using a world GSM ROM could potentially brick your device
You will want to check out all the custom ROMs over at PPC geeks...some might even have a german language pack:

Hey there
I know I've been inactive on XDA for a while, I'm sorry for that
My Sensation has been stolen a while ago and I wasn't able to get it at all, so I'm planning of getting a new one. I live in Egypt and not planning of buying one from here at all.
I'm currently planning of getting an HTC Sensation XE, what you guys think about it? Or should I wait for the Sensation XL?
For now, I have a friend traveling to China, so maybe he'll buy it from there, is it a bad idea? What Software Versions come on Chinese Sensations?
About the price, will it be cheaper in China or USA?
Thanks a lot guys
I currently live in China and got my sensation here 2 weeks ago. I don't think there's an official Chinese version of Sensation. All I've seen here are black market handsets (I might be wrong though).
But what I'm certain is that most of the Sensation sold here is European version. They rooted the phone and replaced the ROM with those found in Hongkong or Taiwan version of the Sensation (so they can change the main language to Chinese).
When I purchased mine, I was offered that kind of handset for 2900CNY (without the memory card though, I even doubt the phone IMEI matches the box IMEI). There's also another set (Hongkong version) which is brand new, unrooted, still wrapped in original plastic packaging, and carried 8gb TF card). They do not need to do anything to this phone because it's Hongkong version, it supports Chinese by deafault. After some bargaining I managed to get it at 3130CNY.
230CNY difference, but if you minus the 8gb TF card (goes for around 100CNY), the difference is only about 130 CNY. But I feel much safer with the brand new handset. And so far I had no complaint at all.
Hope this helps
as a chinese, i wanna tell you that most htc phones' users in Mainland China are not using phones that should be sold in chinese mainland(most use phones that should be sold in HongKong and Taiwan, and my sensation should be sold in singapore), although we just buy them in mainland china. so our phones are not legal and have no guarantee. so don't buy cell phone in mainland china, obviously HK, TW, USA, or any other contries are better choices.
sorry for my bad english, i hope my reply can help you.

I was offered 欧版 which I assume is European version?? 港版 and 亚太版 are slightly more expensive..
Actually its more important to find a sim-free phone rather than what country its origins. Cos the roms can still be flashed but if you land with a sim-locked phone, it won't be easy for you.

yeah 欧版 is european version.
港版 and 亚太版 are more expensive just because they support chinese as original language
Thanks a lot guys!
Seems like a big deal buying it from china as I prefer buying one legally and still in the box..
So, seems like I'm buying an XE from Dubai What you think about this phone?
Any recommendations? Should I go for another phone instead? what you guys think?
Thanks again everybody

I don't mind buying a sim-locked phone, I can manage it
I just need to find the right place to buy it from hahaha
I bought a HTC Sensation in the Netherlands and it seemed to be a imported united kingdom model and there was no Dutch neither Chinese in the list off languages.
However that was easy solved. You just need to download an app from the Market called MoreLocale 2
Because it seems in fact the language is there, but you can just not select it via the settings and need this app, as far as I saw it worked perfect because the HTC Sensation is not setup in Chinese.

I don't understand Chinese, I was just scared to buy a Sensation from China and to find it fake or without warranty..
I just didn't want to find myself with a Stock Chinese Rom, as I like using Stock Rom for the first week or two then start using Custom Roms..

Hello,
first post here, from someone looking to buy a Xoom 2 (3G) in Germany but who does not live in Germany and therefore would not like to be stuck with a localised version.
Hence the question: are there any "Germanised" versions of the Xoom2 that I should be wary of?
I've asked an online retailer (notebook.de) who advertise the Xoom2 as "German goods" ("deutsche Ware") if there were any differences between that product and an EU version, such as with the language settings. They promptly answered that the difference was:
a) in the supplied power plug (German version suits me fine) and
b) in the pre-installed language - it is German, but "you can change it in all Android devices".
I am a little hesitant about the last part because a friend in Germany has a Xoom 1 which has German as the only language option.
Should I be worried or are there no special German versions of the MZ616?
Thanks,
Tolimas
(can't wait to press that "Order" button!)
I don't know about the Xoom 2, but the original Xoom was localised to Germany with German language only!
I'm also a non German living in Germany, so was incredibly annoyed that Moto would ship such a product, where you can't even set to English, never mind one of the many languages in neighbouring countries! Moto clearly have no concept of how people live in the EU!
My only option was to unlock and re-flash with the Euro standard ROM.
As I said, I don't know if the same will be true for the Xoom 2, but be prepared for a frustrating first few hours if you do get one!
That's exactly what I fear.
On the other hand, I could return my purchase - or simply re-flash it - if it turns out to be localised.
With this thought, I ordered mine today and am now awaiting the courier's call
Hi all.
Im curious how much is cost Galaxy S4 in swedish (I got brother there) so if it is cheaper then here i could maybe buy from sweden.
Also keep in mind phone should be "CARRIER FREE" and "SIM UNLOCKED"..
Thank you guys for all your help.
[I posted it here and not in Q&A because it is not question and problem directly related to phone]
It seems the price in swedish is still untold.
