Need help changing language of XDA IIi - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hey everyone!
Right now its in chinese and I would like to change it to english.
I know its something to do with flashing it with an english rom but i need to know where to get the rom and step by step procedures in doing so.
Thanks in advance!

read the "read first" link in my signature, it explains all the steps necessary to perform the upgrade including download links to all programs necessary, also, all the recent roms available are linked there and you can give them a try, also there are basic must have apps around the upgrade process, like backup and stuff like that. hope that solves all your upcoming questions as well

You're the one that have to see the ROMs availlable and choose one that you like. For one people one is the best, but for other is other... Because all ROMs have different softwares, tweaks, etc...
Just follow the link that i gave and see wich ROMs are availlable.
In the same link there is a "How 2to flash" that explains you how to do it...
There is all on this link... PLEASE use it!

does anybody have the iphone theme for the wing and instructions on how to do it appreciated thanks
The idea is
1. Read the forum ….a lot first get an idea on what’s what and how it works!
2. Go to the relevant sub section for your phone.
3. Read that forum a lot.
4. Search for the how to update my phone guide via the search function.
5. Follow the guide and then if your not certain or stuck THEN post a help request.
I think you will find that there are many different versions of the rom and you will want try the different ones yourself and see what works for you.
As a rule what one person thinks is the best thing since sliced bread the next will think is a pile of manure you ultimately will need to make a decision and once you have followed a guide (and I do mean follow to the letter) and seen how easy it is to do you will feel less worry about the process.
Have fun

Please help!!

Hi everyone,
I'm very new to the world of cooking or flashing roms etc. I appreciate this will be quite boring to most of you, but I was hoping someone could help me understand the basics. I'm from the UK and have just brought a HTC Touch Diamond on Orange network which I am very happy with. I am however keen on the idea of trying a new, potentially faster ROM. I currently have 1.37.405.1WWE. I have read a lot of good things about Manila and some others on here (elite) but I'm unsure whether to try one or not. My first question is how hard or easy is it to install a new ROM and what could go wrong? Could a newbie potentially ruin my new phone? Can I re-install the old ROM if I don't like the new one? I have read a lot about people doing manual changes etc , but I don't know any coding. Do I need to? I have searched the forum, but couldn't find any answers to such basic questions. Please could someone help me?!?!?
Thanks
It is not very hard to flash your phone with the ROM of your choice and usually it's quite safe as long as you follow the recommended procedure. Installing HardSPL is the first step which will ensure that a cooked ROM will not "brick" your phone. This is flashed as per the normal flashing procedure. Following this, you can choose the ROM you fancy ( I use Bepe's and I am very happy with it) and flash, again using the same procedure. The cooked ROMS are much faster than the stock ROM and usually very stable. Bepe produces 2 version of his ROM, Basic and Premium, whose major difference is that Basic does not include TF3D. Finally you can also flash a Radio ROM if for whatever reason you are not happy with the connectivity features and stability provided by your current ROM.
No coding required to do any of the above.
there is a nice guide here which shows you step by step how to flash a ROM:

I reckon the "flashing" part of your question has been answered.
Regarding the "cooking" part, what can I say... You won't learn till you do it yourself.
There are a few excellent guides out there (you can start with the xda-dev wiki)
And remember - search is your best friend. Both questions could have been answered if you'd have searched the forum.

Sorry..another noobie

I'm afraid I've had to resort to posting the million dollar question, how do I flash a modified ROM? I've been searching for hours on how to but just can't find anything that explains things in plainly. I've visited various websites that have links here but I can't work out where to even start. There's all this talk SPL and stuff that I have no clue what it is.
Could somebody please post replies to this and guide me through it? I'd appreciate it very much as I really like my Diamond but it could do with a boost.
Thanks
Maybe you over looked the search take a look at this thread it will help you,

Thanks guys for the pointers. I must admit I've been looking at these before. However, having looked at them in a bit more detail, I can see how it's starting to get together.
There were 3 things that I couldn't find on the pages...
1. How do I back up my existing ROM (and everything that will be overwritten) so should things go wrong, I have a restore option?
2. The page about upgrading your ROM says.."now download a ROM of your choice". Somehow that doesn't sound as simple as it's put. There are ROMs all over the place, how do I know what will work on my Diamond.
3. Is it really worth upgrading the ROM? i.e Are there any actual success stories of the Diamond "flying" along as if it's just been injected with steriods?
Look forward to your replies.
Thanks
1: ROM backup - search is your best friend, there are a few open threads about this procedure.
As for making a backup of your contacts/msgs etc, you can sync the device with windows, use PIMbackup or sprite backup.
2: You won't know till you find a ROM which fits your needs. There is no universal BEST rom...
3: Yes there are. ^.^

a good place to start is by only downloading ROMs from the Diamond forums

Help me build an Idiots Guide to a ROM update?

I've just purchased a Diamond and its great, but before I start to install things on it I want to upgrade it to a newer ROM as I read its better and makes it run faster.
I've been doing lots of reading about installing ROM's and about this Hard-SPL thingo, and I'm a bit confused. Is there an idiots guide to a ROM update? I can't find one, so I figure that this thread can be the start of it.
Here is my first attempt, so please correct me where I am wrong:
IDIOTS GUIDE TO A DIAMOND ROM UPDATE
1) Backup existing ROM (how is this done?)
2) Install Hard-SPL? (which version, & How? The thread on this is very long)
3) Install new 1.93WWE ROM
4) Enjoy new ROM

[Q] How to Install Arabic System font on S3 (T-MOBILE)

Hi,
Before I ask the question I would like to apologize, in case this is not the appropriate location for this thread. I tried to search via XDA search for my question but I don't think I found the answer, but maybe have a sort of an idea about it.
Basically my question is:
My friend gave me a T-Mobile Samsung S3 (SGH-T999, 4.1.1), and he was asking me is it possible to get Arabic as the system font instead of the default English?
From what I did via my research. I discovered that I need to root and install a custom rom, if I am not mistaken. Is this the only way to do this, or is there any other method of doing so?
Furthermore, can I be linked to a tutorial, or step by step instruction on rooting the device on this firmware.
I appreciate everyones' assistance.
Thank You!
