mda pro english rom upgrade

as any one already found a way to change german to english on mda pro sold in germany t-mobile

i'm also extremely interested into this topic.
i'll have the MDA Pro in about a week and want to try alt least 2 things:
1. english rom upgrade
2. switch the Z key with the Y key.
Thanks for the interest !

i have my german mda pro since today.
Problem is the warrenty sticker is in front of a screw.
So i dont know if we can switch eh Y and Z

i was hoping that it will be something like a pc keyboard ... that we can remove only the keys and not the entire keyboard.
mine arrives in a week ... so i still have to wait
do you like the german version or waiting to upgrade to english one ?

i am happy with it,
i will only start working on it till my xda 2 is sold.
in the mean time ill try to make it english and look at the keyboard

To remap the keyboard, use this: http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap_t.html
Takes a while to learn how it works, but works like a charm.
You will have to create your own keymap file.

I was succesfull to change the keyboard from QWERTZ to QWERTY
I wont recommend it, cause the size of Y and Z are a bit different.
The Z is ok and u wont notice, but the Y has 0,5 mm difference on the sides.
U can get used to it very fast though. And u dont really notice it.
This all without voiding warrenty stickers..
Now i need a english rom to enable QWERTZ ->QWERTY

excellent news ... can you give some detailed step by step
thanks

I also changed in the german rom the keyboard from qwertz to qwerty
by editing the registery
hardkeyboard show qwerty now, the on screen keyboard is still qwertz
but i dont use that one so much.
now for a english rom update...

maybe you can try using one of these keybord skins
http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=1

The most difficult thing seems that we need an english ROM with the german keyboard.
Maybe someone who tried something like this have some answers.

So Guys Can I change the Germany Rom to English Rom on the MDA PRO, and after just change the keyboard settings? I am very interested in ,coz I would like to buy one soon. 8)

Greek language suport and Greek HW keyboard?

1.I would like to know if touch pro 2 is compatible with "Greek language support" or if in any way I can change its interface to Greek.
2.If possible I'd like to know if hardware keyboard is changeable too
Thank you.

Nothing?

Any suggestions on how to remap the hardware keyboard?If it can be done..

The hardware keyobard can be easily mapped with AEKmap.
There isnt a perfect layout out there, but im planning to make one as soon as i get a day off from work.

Thank you..s'eyxaristw poly.
Do you know if this http://htc-touch-pro2.handster.com/software.php?id=3692&for=HTC+Touch+Pro2 works for a foreign device?

it probably works, but since htc has changed most of the ui with custom programs, you wont get much from a program like this. more than half of the screens/apps will be still in english.
maybe in the future someone will crack the ace hellas extrom, or share the greek mui files.

Android rtl support and compare between HD2 and Desire

Hi;
I wanna to buy my first smartphone.
and after some researches I aim at HTC Desire and HTC HD2.
another notice is that my language is Persian (Farsi) and It's a right to left language. Does HTC Desire support my language plus English?
As you Know in a web cruise. We face to a lot of languages so it's better that they seem correctly in phone screen
Is there anyway to solve this problem with Desire OS (Android 2.1)
And should I Buy HD2 instead of Desire? Why?
Also PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IN THE POLL
Regards ...

A google search says it doesn't, not without installing it anyway (you need to be able to use ADB to do that).
Having said that, I'm pretty sure I have arabic in my settings menu (which google search also says isn't avaliable) =/

But I heard that I can do it by connect desire to my computer and go to it's root and something else
Thus shouldn't I buy Desire ?
and could you please explain this : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646595
What is it about? Do add rtl languages support similar, too?
Thanks

Can anyone help me please specially about this urls : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646595
developer.android.com/reference/java/text/Bidi.html
developer.android.com/reference/java/lang/Character.UnicodeBlock.html
(copy these urls and paste in your browser address bar)
And that finally can I add Persian language after buying HTC Desire

Hi,
regarding your poll, I think the HD2 is too big for a mobile device.
regarding the Arabic/Farasi support (and all other right-to-left languages), ... Google android does support this (right-to-left rendering), but it does NOT show those languages by default (natively) meaning you cannot read Arabic characters (by default) in Web/SMS/emails, .. etc
however there are some Arabic developers that made that happen in android 1.6 and I believe they will work on it for the android 2.1 also.
check this post

http://blog.amr-gawish.com/39/arabic-language-in-android/
If you are not very familiar with rooting (and do not want to be ), and you HAVE to HAVE Farsi in your phone, than go for the HD2, buy it from your country so it would come with Farsi by default.
BTW, in Google android issues, the number two ranked issue on the Android list is "arabic (and other right-to-left) language support for android". many people are asking for it.

Very Thanks Dear Irkan
I want to know more about rooting and Its manner If you can please ...
And that Is rooting possible for android 2.1 now? If it isn't ; so what's the duty ?
Thanks a lot

well, .. it is possible (the Nexus one has been rooted) but i think (and many other think the same) that the Desire rooting (even though that it has Android 2.1 as Nexus 1) the procedure of rooting might be a little different, but it will happen when the device reaches the developers. and we are going to find out.
My best answer to you is to wait for the device to reach the devs here (probably 2 weeks from now) and see when the device is rooted, after that you can safely order the Desire, and follow the procedure of rooting the desire and then apply the Arabization (and Farsi-zation if I may add)
check this thread
Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one.2 March 2010
the procedure of Arabizing the desire will be almost the same as the Nexus One (more or less), but the rooting process might be different, thats why you should wait and see how exactly the Desire is going to be rooted ...

Thanks Thanks Thanks Dear irkan

Is This process a legal implementation for android whereas it's open source?

I do believe it's legal, but rooting your device will void your warranty.

Thank you very much,
But why will it void the warranty as it legal?
and Do you know that I should ask who (specific developer) to add 4 letters to Arabic languages to become Persian?
Thanks a lot

It will void the warranty because they need a scapegoat They need something to point to if your phone breaks, so they don't have to fix it for free Plus there's the off chance that you actually do break it by doing something root-related

Hi,
Has HTC Desire been root after this period ?

What's happened after about 1 month from HTC Desire release date?
has it been rooted yet or not?
I want to use Farsi language in my Cell Phone
Kind Regards...

Unlike this forum, There is a seeker topic in modaco forum to root HTC Desire :
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/305926/htc-desire-root-update/

Hi,
As HTC Desire was rooted ; How can we add Farsi/Arabic language to it?
Is It completely similar to add Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one ?
Kind Regards...

Check http://WWW.handheldusers.com/forum ,I have added some updates regarding desire and Persian support
It supports part of the whole thing,
There is preview custom Rom supporting Arabic/persian which can be found at modaco

has anyone tried the app mirsal from the market?
I don't read arabic (i can barely read and write English, i grew up in south London....!) so i wouldn't know if it's working right or not, but i've heard it's supposed to be quite good.
EDIT: turns out it is for SMS only. Sorry.

[Q] {PRO} Physical QWERTZ to QWERTY

Hello everyone.
I am doomed to buy QWERTZ MK16i since there is not a single unit with QWERTY keyboard layout left in europe.
My question is, can i dissasemble the phone and change the whole keyboard (physically) to QWERTY (i can buy such keyboard) then flash my rom to whatever i want and change layout to latin QWERTY in the software (there are some ways here in the forum that seem to be legit to change software to QWERTY as well as response of Y and Z (and others) from physicall) ?
I'm really mad i can't get my xperia pro with QWERTY, but i want it so bad, i'll do everything to get this to work.
Theoretically it seems possible, but i'd like to know if anyone else has ever tried it ?

Well,this is certainly not the reply you asked for,but i think you should not buy a Pro now,if u really really want a physical qwerty(swype is faster),then according to where you live,check out the Moto droid 4(can be unlocked) or the samsung captivate.(same)

Sorry, but the droid is too expensive (and i dont like the keyboard), and the other one is not avaliable, i wanted capti but couldnt find it. (EDIT: sorry it's avaliable, but i kinda decided already, dont like 4" screen - too big)
Swype... well i dont care if it's faster, i need tectile feeling when typing, so i dont have to look at the phone when doing it.
Although i will probably use onscreen for lots of stuff, but for texting, i need slide-out.

can i bump here ?

First, swype is not faster, i am really speedy with hardware keyboard.
Second, if you have Root, go to /system/usr/keyboard-config and open the file keyprint.xml and change the line
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty-en"/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
to
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz"/>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
save and reboot.
Or, should this not work (for me it did) go to system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts and go to the qwerty-en.xml file, open it and swap the z and y.

From what i can tell, you want me to do the opposite of what i need
I want QWERTY (not QWERTZ), are you sure it should be as you said ?
So it is possible to swap the keys and make QWERTZ phone to QWERTY phone as long as i change physical keyboard ?
Greets

Damn i thought you would qwertz physical keyboard change is an Hardware hack.... so buy an pro with qwerty layout, should be easier than change the complete keyboard
Gesendet von meinem GT-P3110 mit Tapatalk 2

Dude, read the first post, I CANT GET QWERTY LAYOUT BECAUSE ITS UNAVALIABLE IN POLAND (or even whole europe)
I know it's a tricky thing to do, but i would like to know if it's gonna work and is it worth it.
greets

bump ?

NVM
I got the one with QWERTY
I think it was the last one in europe

[Q] German keyboard on LG Optimus F3Q

Hello,
as my old Xperia Pro gets slower and slower, I imported a LG Optimus F3Q from the US, as this phone isn't available in europe yet.
Now I came across an issues, which I cannot solve by myself. Maybe someone here has a good idea.
The physical keyboard is QWERTY. When I hold some keys longer, a window will pop up to give me the choice of additional characters (like long on u will give me an ü). That's fine, that way was it on the Xperia Pro as well.
Now, I am used to QWERTZ, which is common in Germany. When typing quickly, I will mess up with z and y a thousand times.
I can change the keyboard style to German/QWERTZ in the phone's settings. Z and Y will be at the place, where I am used to. Fine so far! But.... (there's always a but): No window will pop up, when pressing the keys a long time. Instead of a popup to select Ü, U will be written as long as I press the key (like this: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu). That's quite anoying! I tried all the other keyboard layouts, none but the English/QWERTY keyboard will show the popup.
Is there any chance to get äöüßéè ect. with the QWERTZ layout? Do I have to press some special key same time as "U" for example? Or is some specific app available for this issue?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
doclouis
P.S.: I don't think, it's a specific F3Q issue, but for all phones with a physical keyboard. If someone found a solution for some othe phone, I will try it out!

Hello,
I haven't found a Qwertz-Keyboard-App that runs on my F3Q, but finally I got a solution: I found an App tp rearrange the keymap and simply switched Z und Y keys.
Still there is this popup-issue. When I hold a key longer, a popup will appear to give me the choice of accent letters (äöüßéè etc.). Still, the line of accent letters is not in the order I want them to.
So, is anybody out there, who can give me a hint, how to change the sequence of accent letters in the popup???
Cheers,
doclouis

Hallo
As I'm a german guy too this is interesting for me as well.
Unfortunately my F3Q hasn't arrived yet but I would start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2804980
It is for the Samsung Captivate Glide device so it may or may not work for the LG F3Q but it is a startin point so I would give it a try.
Let me know if you had any success (or not)..
Greetings

Guten Abend xdajog,
well you can give starting aid for publishing it in Europe by using the US of a certain online aution site. That's what I did to get it to Nothern Germany. There are Canadian online sellers as well who will sell and ship to europe an unlocked F3Q.
Tanks for your hint, I will give it a try.

I've already bought it - no worry.
Its on the way over the ocean
To be honest it is the second one I bought. The first one is in use by my wife and the new one will be a development device only. I will try to port AOSP/CM to this device. Check out my signature for all the details

Still important
Hello fellow physical keyboard lovers,
I just received a nearly new (well, refurbished, but looks like new) LG Optimus F3Q. And, evidently, I too am interested in having a working QWERTZ keyboard and would welcome german localization.
Did you - over the time that has passed since - solve those questions or just change the mobile phone?
Youtube shows several videos of people allegedly running Nougat or Oreo on this mobile, but the links are either not working or have been removed due to (I assume) malware-spreading. Am I right in not believing this to be real?
F3Q is rooted, but nothing else has been altered so far.
I am currently using a Vernee Mars pro as "main" device, and was using an Elephone P8000 until recently.
