I have a korean english htc desire hd given ti me by my friend and since i use it here in the philippines, i have 90 sms character limit instead of 160. Any work around here? I have a feeling.it is about the keyboard and kanguage but i cant set it to like that.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I have a same question for this, how to make it to be 160 characters?
Have you solved the problem?
I use HTC with Olleh service previously, however since I want to take it to Indonesia, I need the 160 characters....
This answer maybe old for you two but my solution is to flash another ROM. I have increased the SMS character limit to 160 with an American ROM (and it still works well in Korea). I'm still trying to figure out which setting exactly control this sort of thing in Android
i ve exactly same problem of limited sms character ie 90 only on my htc desire HD with Korean Olleh rom installed ,,,
its gingerbread 2.3.5 sense 3.0
If flashing a new rom is the only solution to this problem than pls tell me do i really need to downgrade the firmware before flashing custom rom.
and plz guide me the exact sequence of doing it as should i need to downgrade first then set the phone in s-off mode and then root the device ...
plz guide as i am new to all this ..... i ve tried to go though the information available regarding this but still i dont feel confident about doing it.
plz tell me some easy way to do all this ,, as m really confused

Hello all,
i joined this forum to help me decide which mobile to buy and i bought in the end the awesome Desire.
I am from Egypt so i bought it from there , it was released here on second of October.
it has built-in Arabic support in text input window, it doesn't show in the normal keyboard input screen but to activate Arabic language i need to do the following which i got in a reply from htc support here in Egypt
Hold & long press at any empty space of text input box, you will see a message to change input keyboard.
Select the other input method & press ok.
You will see the Arabic keyboard.

i want to help in making Android more popular, in the middle east, and since Google refuse to release official support for Arabic, i guess the only way i can do that by offering my mobile to you to see if we can extract the Arabic support plugin/software and be able to install it on any android based mobile.
i used to be a power user in Symbian but now i am a newbie in android so anyone interested in helping me ?
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.

Ahmad
Salam Ahmad,
Sorry to bust your bubble bro....
But I have already rooted that ROM (leaked) and added A2SD+ 2 months ago
check it out

Froyo with Arabic support would be a great plus!
Nice job
But what i want is to be able to extract the Arabic addon and be able to add it to any other ROM
like for example i want very much to instal the Desire HD Rom on my Desire but i will be missing the arabic support
So i am looking for help to extract the arabic support addon and be able to install it freely
is this even possible ?
Hi
Maybe you should be in contact with this guy (Ayman): http://ardoid.com/?p=41
He added Arabic support to Froyo (but of course with some bugs), maybe you could help.
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Sorry, can't help you with the keyboard, but am very happy to hear that we will finally be getting Froyo - in November???
HTC would not give me a date when I asked!
Salaam.
Guys i found the arabic support intalled inside the Application Manager ad it is named "Arabic Keyboard" and it is version 2
is it possible by any mean to extract the apllication to be able to install it on any other HTC or even Android mobile ??
Look for the .apk under system/app/ and data/app/, it will be there. Then pull it using adb when you're in Recovery. I can try and push that apk on mine and see if it works.
Arabic support should entail more than that though but a keyboard that even just writes would be very helpful to me too.

sorry but i am still a newbie regadring android
Can you please tell me what is adb and how to enter recovery ???
Hi,
You can get the .apk file with easy way. Install Androzip from the market, open it, it will show directly the files on SD card. Press the arrow up in the menu to leave SD card and navigate to system files. Open system folder : System -->> app -->> here you have all .apk files
Hold & long press on the .apk file you want, -->> copy, you can see now 2 new options in the menu, cancel and copy here.
Go now to home in the menu and you can paste it in ur sd card -->> copy here.
thats all you have the .apk file on your SD card.
good luck.
Unfortunately i can't find it in this folder
i found HTC_IME which i understand is the interface for the touch keyboard made by htc, can this be the one we need ??? its size is 4.2 MB
using "Android System Info" i found the name of the Arabic Keyboard software.
com.parfield.inputmethod.arabic

but still can't find it inside /system/app
any suggestions ?
Like mentioned, look in system/app/ and data/app/. The name might be different.

i have no problems with my software keyboard at all, i can change between swedish and english language and it works perfectly, but when i try to change to swedish when i use my hardware keyboard i don't have any other language in the list than english..
Can anyone please help me? I have tried several things without any luck.

Hi, I just checked and the issue is there for me as well on a stock DZ (Slovakia). I tried changing the locale of the phone but no difference..

No i don't think HTC can or will help me with the issue, besides that i made a backup and tried another ROM yesterday and there was no problems at all.. (just to be clear: i went back to the ROM i have the keyboard issues with after that, just because i like the ROM)
i guess it's up to the developer of the ROM to make it work, but when you ask in the thread 4 times without even getting an answer you get tired and start asking others for help
i got keychar files from another rom, does anyoen know how to install them? tried with adding them to an Update.zip but cwm aborted the installation, i guess i need some sort of install script?

From what rom did you grab them from and which files did you grab? I'll see if I can create an update zip for you.

hi guy's
thanks for your effort here, i have 2 questions:
1-i would like to install new HTC GB RUU, but the problem is arabic language is not supported this time from HTC, when i contact htc they give me some advices to download some app from market (which can help me in some app like browser, sms,) but Facebook and email service cant be replaced..?? so my question is there any way to include arabic language to the last GB upgrade..??
2- in case i can't add arabic to HTC update, can someone advice me which ROM can be simmler to HTC ROM (GB) i mean classic ROM without tweaks,additional app, i just want something basic...
my device is not rooted..
Before you rush off and update to gingerbread with the new RUU you should do some research. The new update comes with an updated bootloader, meaning it cannot yet be rooted or S-OFF'd. There have been many complaints about phones being soft-bricked after the update also (stuck in HTC screen, phone not booting, no recovery, not able to use fastboot as they are S-ON [you'll learn about what all that means in due time] ), as as of yet, there was no way to fix them.
If you want something similar to the new GB, there I believe is a ROM which is based on the actual official GB that has been released, for sense 2.1, I would try RCMix, it gave decent performance and had very little or no bugs that I can remember.
Hello everybody,
Warning: The following paragraphs (may) contain grammar errors. Please make yourself a LOL if you find one. -- A just-passed-exam Englsih learner from China.
I want to remove all the crap wares integrated in the system(stock ROM) that is modified from Desire 600 for ChinaUnicom. That's also why my phone is called 606w.
I've searched some Chinese phone forums. It is said that the system kernel of 606w stock ROM is somehow protected and that these crap apps cannot be removed even if you are an root user. Some guy posted a tool for deleting them, as an recovery like windows PE stuff on PC. But I don't really want to install another recovery. Some other guy, interestingly, wrote "It's more efficient than deleting them by using adb" in the same thread.
So I want to know if it is possible to delete them under the kernel protection and how to do it. It's better if I don't need to unlock the bootloader.
Oh, by the way, another doubt: how to change my power on and off animation. The ChinaUnicom icon really sucks. Could someone upload the original Desire 600 version, either one in Chinese or English is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

By the way will 606w work on 600 ROM?
I also have 606w my main problem is that some of the applications crashes after I enable encryption!!!
E.g. Google Earth - crashes
Chrom (after update crashes, wthout update works)
Flash player (sama as Chrom, afyter update crashes, without update works).
etc.
Does any one know why the apps crash without any notification to the user?

What do you mean "enable encrytion"?
I just installed google service via GMS installer. Let google play handle the update stuff.
By "enable encrytion" I mean enabling the option Settings -> Storage -> Phone storage encryption.
Does any one has the same problem?
After fiddling with my 606w for a week, I'm going slightly mad. The boot animation of the stock rom is intrusive, and the chinese apps and settings are just plain annoying.
I've succesfully loaded spawns 600 images on my 606w, and on the custom roms, all of the chinese crap is gone. However, I now have no gps. I've use fastergps to set the ntp, used clocksync to set the clock. The device just doesn't see any sattelites.
I noticed a difference in the gps settings. On the stock 606w rom, the is an extra setting to enable disable agps, which is absent in the 600 roms. I guess that behind the scenes the 600 and 606 are a little more different than they appear.
If any of the xda gurus have any tips on getting gps to work, that would be greatly appreciated.
