%variant% - Not very useful right now since we can only use update.zip. Will become important once we get complete android builds. Use abbreviations: UPD (Update), FW (Firmware)
%name% - Name of your ROM. Whatever you want to call it.
%version% - The version of your ROM.
%Androidbuild% - This is the basebuild of android that the firmware uses. 2.1-update1 for the firmwares we have available right now. (Make it short: 2.1-u1)
%baseROM% - This is the last five symbols of the firmware you base your ROM on/that is required to install your update.zip. for example: XWJG3
%launcher% - This is the launcher you use (preferably with the version used).
%mchangelog% - Give one or two of the most important changes in this update.

I would keep the [ROM] prefix, just to distinguish it from normal programs, utilities, upgrades, tutorials, etc.
I would also use abbreviations to keep things short, and cut down on whitespace. variant = [UPD/FW], region = [EUR/ARA/USA/....], AndroidBuild / baseROM, without the spacing. To prevent overkill of brackets, I would not bracket the version. Also as we are using dd/mm/yy notation, AFAIK it is more common to use - instead of /. And I really just hate curly brackets, but that's personal
Example:
[ROM][EUR][UPD][11-07-10] Doc's BareboneGalaxy v6 [2.1-u1~XWJG3][LauncherPro BETA] Optmized APKs [Barebone]

Those sound to me like sensible modifications. Now that I think back on it the curly brackets weren't really necessary ;-) And the date... my version of Windows displays the date as dd/mm/yyyy so I'm really at a loss what is convention here. but it really doesn't matter. I like the dashes too
Alright, updated first post with the changed information.
Structure is badly needed! all people are polluting this forum with topics with only questions!
Nice kang
I think most of what I said came from a stericson post... not sure though... I like READ MEs... and stickies... and FAQs...
I see only 2 ways you are EVER gonna be able to enforce this:
1) you go modo crazy and start deleting/moving stuff massively
tho you might get tired of doing so after a week or 2 ^^
2) you find somone that can modify the vbulletin post/reply form, so that it integrates the exact syntax you'd like ppl to use to post, and deny posts if it's not correctly filled out.
GL
This does not require enforcing, nor is it an exact science.
Conventions like there are used all over XDA and are generally followed. As soon as a number of the top releasers start following it in a subforum, the rest will eventually follow. It will take a while, sure... but it will happen, once the beginners realise that a structured life is a better life.
You have the option to do things nice and structured, or you can make a mess of things, but hey it'll be the mess you have to wade around in
Well said, I like the XDA naming scheme, seems to work well. Is there a mod for this section yet? someone to sticky important posts for now would do
There's an official mod, yes, and there's me. But I'll be off on vacation in a few days, for several weeks ...
Dear Friends.

You need to study the step-by-step of whatever ROM you choose.
Proudly Presenting :
The Sense of Arabic
This is a rom based on the latest Arabic RUU released by HTC featuring Sense 2.1 , basic HTC kernel , with all parts of HTC RUU , added Busybox and root ....
So this should be super stable as it is total HTC with no mods other than Root and busybox , It supports the following languages with full read/write :
- English ( maybe three coutries , all the same )
- Arabic for a bunch of Countries
- French maybe ....
Thanks for downloading ! Peace be upon you !
Download here :
http://db.tt/SkqZb1po
scroll down and see my beutiful Sense_of_Arabic.zip package , download and flash , have fun !
is it possible to add data to Ext
I don't know how this works , but my whole purpose of this rom is to make the flashing of the original RUU not necessary to anyone with a recovery ... so this will be a final version i guess. ...
Sent from my HTC A510e using XDA
You guys made a challenge for the biggest sign ?
Because it very uncomfortable my reading...
Link not working
Hello Sir,
The link is void.
Can you please upload to another site?
Thanks a lot.
Hi,
I'm posting this here, mainly because it involves new ROM flashing.
I spent nearly a month "converting" my WFS..
So, I hope you'll find this helpful..
Follow the next steps:
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader
(Thanks to theq86 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199)
2. Second install this stock ROM
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_ARA_2.26.415.2_Radio_47.23e.35.30 38H_7.57.39.10M_release_262618_signed.exe - 158.5 MB
It's an Arabic ROM and it supports fully English.
The big advantage of this ROM is that it has "Right to Left" correction built in.
(Thanks to kasra_Qeshm. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476701)
3. Next step is to install Hebrew keyboard. there are many options.. I personally prefer Keyboard from Android 2.3 (there's also a paid version)
And the Hebrew pack for it Here.
That's it!! You have Hebrew on your WFS!!
Some more goodies:
1. You might want to root you WFS - One Root is an easy and great tool for this task.
(Thanks to rezo609 - Original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678421)
2. "Bubble like" WildChild Messages app - This one is an add-on the require your phone to be rooted in order to flash it. You can download Here.
(Thanks to Tigger31337. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652973)
3. BEATS AUDIO
(Thanks to apherio. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587286)
That's it for today.. Hope you'll enjoy!
One last thing.. I only gathered the information and made some tests to see it's all working.. but if you find some of this helpful I think it would be nice go to the original posts and press the "thanks" button..
Cheers!
Maoz.
great to see how it works.. I thought it required more than just flashing. Anyway it's goot that I've got the idea to use the Arabic Rom for our needs.
anyway now I just need to figure out how to add darktremor support so I can use this rom with A2SD GUI and not worry about memory.
btw, what is the memory usage that you see with this ROM?
After installation I had 119MB free internal memory
You might have a problem running the RUU*.exe file since the wildfire's CID is not compatible.
I've found that extracting the boot.img and system.img from the rom.zip (found in window user's temp dir) and flashing manually is a good option as well:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
good luck.
if anyone comes across the VMOBILE's rom (i've seen one with full hebrew) please shout out.
http://iandroid.co.il/forum/topic81886.html
I've got the vmobile rom. the problem is that it doesn't support A2SD and you ran out of space pretty quickly.
I own a ZTE N909D. Because there is not much data available in the English forums I want to gather everything I found out in this one thread.
Basic specs
Screen size: 4.5"
Screen resolution: 854 x 480 pixel
Processor: Qualcomm MSM8625Q (Arm v7)
Original Android version: 4.1.2
N909: single SIM / N909D: dual SIM
Root
In the past I used vRoot, which nowadays is called iRoot - I did not find any correlation to the i-products so far There is also an apk-file available, thus, you do not need a PC for rooting. What I did not like is the Chinese superuser-app. That one can be replaced with whatever you like (don't forget to uninstall the Chinese afterwards).
Searching through the (Chinese) forums I came across a few recoveries, which are working on my D-version, although they were created for the single SIM variant:
Recoveries
CWM v6.5.0.1:
Language: Chinese
Original compilation by ???: I am sorry, I lost the original link. I only have the IMG-file (download link below).
TWRP v2.5.0.0:
Language: Chinese / English
Original compilation by Yang: http://www.gaojiquan.com/thread-9330-1-1.html. A German guy has it available for direct download: TWRP 2.5.0.0 for ZTE N909
I translated it back to English (download link below)
TWRP v2.8.4.0:
Language: Chinese / English
Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/3559914472. It is a dual language version, where you can change to English within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hqGfoVy
I modified it to English / English for English start-up (download link below)
TWRP v3.0.0.0:
Language: Multilingual
Original compilation by 99646P: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4349805138. It is a multi language version, where you can change to English or some other languages within the recovery. My problem was that it started straight in Chinese, which made it difficult for me to find the setting for the language switch - no issue after that was done. Direct link to the download site: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hrhkLOK
Kernels
Original kernel from ZTE: http://support.zte.com.cn/support/news/NewsDetail.aspx?newsId=1005182
Original ZTE kernel patched up to version 3.4.113: https://github.com/xdatravelbug/android_kernel_zte_n909d
For the dual SIM variant I did not find any updated ROM newer than Android 4.1.2 until now. The single SIM version has several custom ROMs available.

to be added

I bricked ZTE N909. Can you help me to unbrick it? It can boot to stock recovery, but every time update fail and factory reset stuck at logo after restart? Do you know how to boot in fastboot or something else? Can you please upload stock restore files to try with it?

Not exactly sure what is failing during the update. But you can try the following:
* Install a custom recovery
* Download either the original update package from ZTE N909 Taiwan ROM or a custom ROM version
* Install that ROM
As you can boot into stock recovery, you can also try to clean/erase all partitions in there or you do it via TWRP. The usual way going to fastboot (with the phone switched off) is by pressing and holding power + volume up (or down). In fastboot mode connect your phone to USB and open a command prompt. If you only want to test the custom recovery use "fastboot boot <image.img>". If you want to directly flash the custom recovery use "fastboot flash recovery <image.img>"
Let me know if this information does not help.

I am working on it trying with Marshmallow for now, because to my knowledge that it the latest supported version for our old Qualcomm device. Pls be patient as I am not that experienced with compiling and just try it for fun
Quick update after a long time: I patched the original kernel v3.4.0 to v3.4.113. Trials are still ongoing if something screwed up doing that. Especial the bluetooth files caused some issues during the patches because ZTE uses different variable-names than Linux.
Ok guys everyone has those problems like this so i decided to make a topic for this.
M10 has 3 different variants. So i decided to share correct recoveries for who have problems.
* M10 Generic.
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/?129g74h488m93gj
* M10 Lifestyle EU. (also known as Indian edition)(I dont remember cid and product id for this model. I was using for my M10 which I bought from Poland phone store. PS not suitable for EU operator devices. They are m10 generic. Not lifestyle.)
Link : https://www.mediafire.com/?e4jde0af1n9surr
* M10 Lifestyle CN. (also known as Asian edition) (Perfume, htc_pmec2tuhl, Espıcally for CID HTCCN701)
Link : http://www.mediafire.com/file/g9wb4e0eoh0qu5j/lifestyleCN.img
For people who doesnt know how to flash :
1) Unlock bootloader via HTC Dev method.
2) Connect phone via bootloader mode.
3) Open adb write following commands:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_file_name.img (Ex : fastboot flash recovery lifestyleCN.img)
4) If you want to open phone in recovery mode use menu from bootloader with your phone.
That's all voila !
Hi, Thank you for sharing this!
But this is completely in Chinese language. Do you have link for English one? I need it for M10 Lifestyle ( htc_pmec2tuhl )
EDIT::
Found how to get English.
1. You need to tap on: 设置 (Settings)
2. In settings menu, tap on last icon on top of page ( World icon )and change to English.
Thanks a lot for this post. I've been struggling for days to get recovery working on my Chinese HTC 10. After reading your post downloaded the correct recovery image, et voila!!
One question remains, after recovery is working, I can flash any rom, or also there I should be careful which one to flash? I tried Leedroid_10 V3.9.0 but it keeps rebooting into bootloader... Any idea how to fix, or what I do wrong? I have not rooted yet, and S-on.
Thanks
Robin.
Fine to have a working recovery but that's it basically for this HTC10 forum. Non of these roms here work on any lifestyle HTC10.
