[HD2 General] rlydiard:
For CID, for sure an HTC phone bought in Australia will have an Australian CID. It is encoded in the factory, I believe. Probably the reason for CID is that HTC is only allowed to sell a language version of Windows Mobile in a certain region or country. It is all about licensing. I did that research for one of the other guys on the previous thread. For example, HTC cannot according to licensing terms sell an English HTC HD2 in Taiwan.

With that said, do not be daunted by all of this. Once the HardSPL is out and you use it once on the phone, you will be able to flash to any ROM you want, without using HardSPL again. The only reason to worry about CID now is that HardSPL is not yet out for the LEO.

If you have ever flashed an update to the BIOS of your computer, then you surely will be able to flash a ROM to your phone. What I suggest is that you download the Asian English ROM and expand it into a folder. Included is a Word file that explains in detail the flashing process. Even though you do not have the phone yet, you could even start the Rom Update Utility just to see what it looks like.

Don't worry, I do understand why you need the Chinese support. I would guess that since, as I recall, you bought a Motorola phone in Taiwan before, chances are either you were born here, or your parents are from here, and you still have family here. That would mean you are really part of two cultures. I need the same configuration as you, because English is my native language, but I need the Chinese to read things like SMS.

Unless you like trying cooked ROMS like me, it is not likely that you will flash ROMS on your phone very often. HTC and most carriers are not too fond of issuing new ROMS for a phone, unless there is a major bug that needs fixing. These companies would much prefer that we buy new phones.

Ya, try downloading the ROM and checking it out a bit after expanding it into a folder. Then, you can wait and see what your carrier will charge, and decide how much full 3G band coverage is worth to you. Let me know any more questions you have after you download the ROM.
[HD2 General] squall09:
I think I am getting a bit more now... so HardSPL essentially will over write the whole phone into a "region free" phone kind of... which allows me to use any ROM.

Question then on HardSPL... I take it's not a simple matter of double click a file and it will run itself via a PC right?

I will download the HTCPedia's ROM when I can (internet usage almost up, the file is pretty big) and see what's in there. Though one question, why is the file *.exe? What does it execute? Will I need the phone plugged in already?

Yes, I was born from Taiwan, hence listen to much of the Chinese/Japanese songs, and it would be sad if the music player displays symbols when I play songs...

thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Once you see the word file that comes with the ROM you will understand much better. If you do not want to use up your bandwidth downloading the ROM you can PM me, give me your email address, and I will forward the Word file that comes with the ROM to you. It can all be as simple as connecting your phone to the computer, making a connection with ActiveSync, or Windows Mobile Device Center, and clicking on a file, and then a few more clicks. Finally, in the process, one sits back, says a short prayer, and waits.

In the meantime, check out the XDA-Wiki and read the glossary. That explains all these terms better than I can.

I saw the HTC HD2 again today at the Taipei Computer Association's Infomonth Exhibition in the Taipei World Trade Center. What I saw was a working model, and it sure was sweet. The Chinese version was fast and smooth. I got to see several of my former TCA colleagues today too, so not a bad day.

Chinese support for WWE rom

Hi.

My lady is Chinese.

I gave her my old Polaris when I bought my HD and then I gave her my old HD when I bought a HD2.

She doesn't want a Chinese rom as she can read and write English but she wants to be able to send/receive texts and emails in simplified Ch to friends & relatives.

I found the exact right rom for her Polaris, and have now loaded software support for Ch on a WWE rom on the HD.

Look for a guy called Debboy who does roms in Thai & Ch.

Also, look for HWPen_Olympic_Version.CAB and Samau_CP61.cab.

HWPen supports Ch simplified & Trad & Jp.

It is dependent on hand writing which may not work well on the capacitive screen.

Hope this helps.

Also useful is cdict_ppc_setup.exe , a Ch to En dictionary.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
I don't know if the Polaris has an official English Asian ROM or not, but for those with an HD2 who want an English UI with Chinese reading and writing capabilities the HTC English Asian ROM pretty much fills the bill without installing additional software, or so I understand from another thread of foreigners in Taiwan who have flashed to that ROM. Hope I soon get a chance to test that myself.

How are you getting along with your HD2? The phone I looked at today with the CHT ROM was really smooth, fast, and responsive.
[HD2 General] airbird:
The English Asia ROM should be perfectly reolve your request

So far, the English Asia ROM work perfectly with my HD2 which is originally shipped with Swedish ROM. You can get support for both traditional and simplified chinese display and input. For input, you need to look through the settings for input in order to get traditional and simplified chinese handwriting support. Unfortunately, there is no Japanese support in this ROM (should be for Singaphore).

If you follow the instruction given by the post in LEO Rom development session, then you can be very satisfied.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
That is just the type of endorsement that will encourage some to take the plunge and flash the phone! (And for me to get my hands on one for my own by hook or crook, LOL.)
[HD2 General] veej:
A bit late coming to this thread but I bought my HD2 in HK where we have a choice of English/Chinese UI. I bought the English one and is pleasantly surprised to find that chinese input is already included. No more CE star. Hooray!

Sorry if this is old news to you guys...
[HD2 General] squall09:
Thanks for the offer, but I just downloaded it (means possibly reduced speed on internet connection soon). There were no word document, only an *exe file, which asked me to sync my phone (of I don't have now)... i will try find a doc from HTCpedia if i can.

I just heard a news (via a friend to another friend, so hopefully info transferred is incorrect)... apparently HK version cannot display Chinese according to HTC sales rep in Taiwan! This is confusing, the HTC HK emailed me saying yes, but a friend of mine in Taiwan got NO when asking in Taiwan!! I got my friend to ask in HK, but they haven't got back to me yet... :(

Question: on average, how long delay we usually expect a HardSPL?? thanks.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Don't expect a Taiwan sales rep to be too accurate on this, as he would lose a sale if someone decided to buy the phone in Hong Kong. As you can see from the posts above, the English Asian ROM indeed does have Chinese capability, and this is from people who have flashed their HD2s.

Try right clicking on the ROM file you downloaded. If you have a program like Winrar it will expand files inside that file into a folder, even though if you double click on it it will just run the flash program.

It seems that HardSPL has already been achieved, now it is just SSPL, which makes it easier to install ROMS following the same procedure as the one you downloaded.
[HD2 General] squall09:
yeah, I know from Sale's perspective they would do that, not sure how it was asked... I wrote to HTC TW as well, but it seems like the person did not read my question, but only told me HK/Singapore version is English interface.

The downloaded file was not zip or rar or any other compressed file (unexpectly). It was purely an *exe file. Once clicked, it had the installation window up asking for sync of phone.

Question... is those files from HTCpedia then classified as SSPL?? thanks.

And bad news for me... Australia's released date has been pushed back late Jan!!! And no price info at all!!! grhh!!!
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Did you download this file? RUU_Leo_HTC_Asia_WWE_1.48.707.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship

If so, when you left double click on it, it will run an * .exe file, but if you right click on it, and you have a program such as Winrar it will indeed give you the choice of extracting the files. I just did it again to be sure. The Readme doc that is expanded is too large for me to attach here, sorry.

For SSPL, that is is not quite ready, so what you downloaded is purely an HTC shipped ROM. Without using something like the Gold method, you would still get a CID error if you tried to install it on a phone bought in Australia.

I did read on the forum about the news of HD2 in Australia. Well, by the time you get the phone everything should be ready so you can easily and painlessly flash the phone. In the meantime, you should, when you have time read, the XDA-Wiki to increase your knowledge.

Keep me updated on how you are doing and what you decide. Good luck.
[HD2 General] squall09:
thanks heaps, got the word doc out now :)

that clears up a bit of my understanding... I will take sometime to read up the wiki hopefully over x'mas.

well, got a fren visiting HK now, so if I chose HK version, he could buy it for me and I could get it soon. So I was hoping at least find out the pricing for Australia around now so that I can judge whether it's worthwhile waiting and paying the premium for 850Mhz band. If rumour is right that it's going to be almost double the price in HK/TW/Sing/UK, then not only it's a huge premium to pay, but very costly phone to "play with" and get the Chinese text working.

In any case, thanks so much for your patient help, I surely learnt much here :)
[HD2 General] speakerphone:
Currently it is impossible to install Jp support on HD2. At least on HK WWE one, somehow it overrides wince.nls thus all the jp support cabs that work everywhere else don't work on it.

HTC support have been no help, and my very costly phone now does less than my old polaris.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] avastdh:
Hi..

Is it possible to get multitouch on any ROM.

If not is there someone that have a list of ROMs with multitouc..

Would like a ROM without sens but with multitouch..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] method115:
I'm not sure which roms have it but I know that Cyanogen rom has it. Use google there is a wiki that explains the installation once you've rooted the phone. I like this rom because it has it's own updater for new releases which is much more convenient then having to reinstall all new versions of the rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hudl:
I'm stuck on allas Rogers ROM for now. I'm fully blown away by it's speed. It has multitouch and double tab to zoom in browser (not in other applications!). It's the only one i know with full exchange support too. SenseUI is definately not compareable to this one. I also tried Cyans which is real cool too, but i need full exchange support for contacts, calendar...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsden:
I was just wondering if its possible to have Dutty's email style (With Pages and not envelop) in email tab. I googled with no result.....
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starwalker:
I guess, it depends on the Manila version of the rom. Duttys is not the only one with this style.

Cheers Lars
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al3azmi:
yes.... it depends on the Manila version of the rom

manila 2.5 = Pages and not envelop

manila 2.1 = Pages in envelop
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riekr:
energy roms with manila 2.1 have a semi transparent envelop to let you read more email text ;)
[HD2 General] Bobbe77NL:
Goodday everybody,

I'm consider to buy the HTC HD2 or SE X2.

I have all ready the X1, what i most like is the keyboard.

Can you guy's tell me what the best choice is to buy!?

Greetings,

Rob
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
If you like a physical keyboard then why are you even considering an HD2? :) Stick with your X1, or buy a Touch Pro2, or consider a Samsung OmniaPRO B7610.
[HD2 General] Bobbe77NL:
Thanks for the reply!

Yep you are true, but the X1 has for me to many faults in it.
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
Fully agree. I would go for the Samsung.
[HD2 General] erosennin:
The X2 is and X1 with an "improved" camera and an upgrade to 6.5. Rest assured that all the faults you got in the X1 are gonna crop up in the X2. Look elsewhere.

I thought I was going to miss the keyboard too, but heck not at all.
[HD2 General] adell_:
Aren't you interested Motorola MILESTONE?
[HD2 General] Bobbe77NL:
Thanks for all the reply's

I'm reading allot, but don't know jet, and the Motorola MILESTONE doesn't come to the Netherlands :(

I like the comparing with the Iphone but the X2 isn't compare with anyone.

Greets,

Rob
[HD2 General] dingolino:
I moved from Xperia X1 to HTC-HD2

Keyboard on the big HD2 screen is good for me (but 1 year ago the keyboard of the X1 was one big reason to go for the X1)

I want to stick with the xda support :)

dingolino
[HD2 General] halfmyself:
I made the switch from x1 to HD2, id say go with the HD2! the x2 uses similar hardware to x1 which feels so slow and laggy compared to the HD2, sure you lose the hardware keyboard but it wasnt perfect to begin with and id usually pop the stylus out rather then slide the keyboard out because the rotation switch felt too slow :D
[HD2 General] tnyynt:
Here's a side by side: http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=1932&id2=1783
[HD2 General] Aqrab:
my friend

the X2 have the same SLOW CPU as the HTC DIAMOND

the X2 is a X1 with only some improvment

go for the samsung omniaPRO B7610

dont even think about the htc touch pro 2 its slow

i mean really slow cause of that CRAP processor
[HD2 General] maati:
If you absolutely need a keyboard: Get the Samsung Omnia Pro B7610.

If you can live without a keyboard: Get the HTC HD2.

Do NOT buy the X2. It's got the same old, awfully slow processor that has been annoying us for years now. You seriously shouldn't spend money for a device based on that crappy Qualcomm MSM7xxx chipset.
[HD2 General] DavidMc0:
If the keyboard is important to you I'd imagine you'd get annoyed with the HD2 pretty quickly, but it may be worth trying it out for the many other benefits, as if you don't like it, stick it on Ebay and you'll be able to get a Pro2 / Omnia pro / X2 / Milestone for the same money you get from the HD2 sale!

I've got a Pro2, and would highly recommend it if Keyboard is high on your priority list. As far as I know it's the best keyboard on a phone right now, and has the tilting screen too. I think I would miss it too much to get the HD2, but would not be against trying (About a year ago I tried an HD then loved the move back to my trusty Kaiser).

Also I doubt the X2 would be slow; contrary to the two posts above, the Pro2 is not slow. While clearly not as fast as an HD2, it's simply untrue to say the Pro2 is slow for general use. A snapdragon won't help an HD2 user type faster & more accurately than a Pro2 user :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dakukishi:
Does any one know of a way or an application that will allow you to have different colours for Appointments.

reason why i ask is that i have alot of appointments on my calendar that are different to each other. Some are work based others are personal aswell as some that are of another nature. When you see the appointments, specifically in the month view they are all marked with a silver triangle in the top right corner. This really does not help to find seperate appointments easily.

If anyone knows of a way to get a good colour code system be put in place i would be ever grateful.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bommel0815:
the manila integrated calendar is so weak, it is really only usable for people with few appointments a day, and people who don't need custom catagories, and people who don't need tasks...

I just disabled the calendar tab and put PocketInformant to my left softkey...
[G1 Android Development] grandomegabosses:

So I take it this is free of the watermarks? Or is our source going to lose his job?
[G1 Android Development] eugene373:
Guys Stop Post Random Stuff in this Thread. It's not the Place for it at all.
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:

[G1 Android Development] pjcforpres:
Yay! I figured, I was just asking since I didn't see it stated anywhere else. Might be worth noting in your full write up, when you get time to do that, so that worry warts like me aren't so worried.
[G1 Android Development] dcplaya:
What are the requirements to run this build? Obviously a rooted G1 or myTouch but what about radio versions and such?

Also, not sure if this is build in or what but does it have App2SD?

I want to just play around with it, I know its a alpha build and I plan on going back to the lastest CyanogenMod at the end of the day
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
Theres no market so dont worry about apps2sd and you need danger or deaath and killer spl.

How come this synced my gmail?
[G1 Android Development] ballerhaller:
