simply because i want to make everything default :) i do not want the phone to be governed by Customer ID which is kinda racist if you ask me. why not let people have the choice of choosing their region or a map to click? instead limit the mobile to a bloody country or a region like DVD or blueray?

without CiD or a unknown CiD will cause the OS to always go default. and i hate choosing language on official rom cuz i cant get localized japanese or chinese because its a WWE rom, or i cannot get Malay/Indonesian/Thai just because its a WWE rom. also language like chinese is limited to 4 types only without "drawing/writing with finger/ maybe english writing too" and on custom roms you got too big a list to go thru also reducing the chance of typo or missing region languages. just the few language you speak and use often. saving a few KB of space.

playing with the default.xml im wondering if i could do more on it other than just language and stuff. maybe preset a personalized setting or smth and put it into roms using a tool which will rewrite the XML's and set personalized settings before a flash.

or maybe a tool like vlite for vista that customize the system as you wish.

seriously i dont like the idea of having russian/french/arabic/indian/etc on my phone when i dont even know how to read it ._.

hence after downloading custom roms we can just copy paste a few files into the rom and flash, everything would be set as default. including footprints, landmarks, photo, travel guides etc.

would make life easy since i am a traveler i really love google maps and locations ._.

does that make sense? :/

edit, i think there is a possibility to add custom operator logos :O like say Vodafone instead of a word you can change it to a picture via xml to anything you like. and i believe its available on those asian roms.

compared a few different region roms and i find it to be a little racist. its like you an american you cannot eat chinese food or i am a french and i cannot eat sushi or kimchi or whatever :O

why do i say that? because there are things "bloatware/tools" that are specific to each rom, like plurk and amazon MP3. also landmarks, or travel destination, why does american rom get statue of liberty and asians get twin towers or singapore landmark the lion photo? as if americans wanna travel to america only and asians wanna travel to asia only ._. so narrow a choice. zzz

hoping to make something good with the XML and sort it out :) also locations is a pain in the ass sometimes. it downloads Locations app and installs specific to your CiD as well.. ._. gay huh?

well, i hope maybe there is a possibility to change this. :)

i phail.. that fastboot OEM changeCid thing doesnt work or maybe i typed it wrong. i did fastboot OEM changeCid 11111111 and the os still register as HTC__001.

but when i change it to HTC__044 it stayed at HTC__044 :O weird huh? hope its changeable ._. and stays there permanent until user changes it.

and also why does it have to be 11111111 ? can it not be 22222222 or 33333333 or 44444444 or 99999999? i know 00000000 dont work lol. i tried 88888888 but it registers as 11111111 xD
