No (Tegra3 vs One XL Qualcomm Snapdragon 4)
Yes (most ROMs use WWE base)
Search the play store for root?

HTC Desire: Android 2.2 SE Font support

Dear all Guru here,
I have the HTC Desire and I am living in Germany. I would like to read and write Thai with my Desire but I do not want to root.
My question are
1. Will the Android 2.2 support the Thai font?. If yes, I do not need to root it right?
2. If there is any Thai Rom available, can I just flash it? I cannot find it though.
The main thing is I do not want to root it. Thank you for any help in advance
Why don't you want to root it?

Given that the Desire doesn't have 2.2 yet, you should really ask Q1 in the Nexus One forums.

Hello, thank you for your comments.
I do not want to root it because it will void the guarantee and it looks complicated.
I do not have any experience with Android but only with WM and Iphone.
I will ask in the Nexus One forum.

[Q] Telus desire HD ?

Hello, i'm quite new to the android system. I've browsed through quite some of the threads, and there are somethings i dont quite understand..
Please help me address them.
What is the difference between a telus desire HD and a htc desire hd? Are they the same?
How do i check if my phone version is eligible for rooting ?
What is a ROM ?
They are not the same.
Telus Desire HD is from Canada.
Both the Telus Desire HD and European Desire HD can be rooted.
A ROM is a essentially a customized version of Android that differs from the stock ROM that comes with your phone.
Heres a tip, do a search for Telus in Q&A and in Development section and you'll find most, if not all your answers after this.
Okay..
So how do i know if mine is a telus or not?
I got my phone in Singapore. Any way to check ?
Thanks for the ROM info btw.
I'll bite.
Telus is a service provider. Like Rogers, Bell, Orange, etc. If you got your phone from Singapore, there's no possible way for it to be a Telus phone unless the person you bought it from imported the DHD from Canada and sold it back to you.
as someone had mentioned, telus DHD is from canada. yours definitely is the general htc set.
Alright.. So is there any way to root a general htc DHD ?
I want to root it so bad.
You need to learn how to read stickies and guides on a forum. I bet you came right in here expecting answers without reading. Am i correct?
The telus version is hspa and is more like the inspire 4g

For your info, i did read up. I just dont understand the terms that are used. There are so many things, and as i said, i'm really new to android phone and system.. And i'm not really a technical guy, so i really need help from you guys.
Please bear with me, i'm trying real hard to understand what you guys are posting. And of course, i wouldn't wanna put my phone at risk if i dont know anything about it right ?
So yeah..
And thanks for the " Spoon feed " Gouki. Appreciate it. Will definitely read up on it.
So, another question, what do custom ROMs do to your phone ? How does it differ from the original ROM ?
Different dev create different ROMs.
Cosmetics like splash, bootup, bootdown.
Sense or no-sense,
different Overclock speed/capability.
And some have different apps. (Modaco with Wavesecure).
Etc...
Okay, i read the forum about putting a new ROM into your phone.
In order for me to do that, must i root my phone ?
Can the general DHD be rooted ?
Yes and yes.... the beauty of Android is the ability to mess around with the software. TUnfortunately messing up and learning for yourself goes hand in hand with it.
AWESOME. Thanks alot cue. You've been a great help.
Now... im going to check how im going to root my phone. Still kinda worried about what will happen to my phone if i do it wrongly.
My phone, is, REALLY, REALLY slow. Like seriously.
Oh yes, how do i check my phone version so that i can see if i need to downgrade it ?
And, can http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997 this be used to help me root and flash a new ROM ? Will there be any difference in the rooting procedure ?
As said, if you got your phone from Singapore then it shouldn't be a Telus DHD.
You can check your version from Settings —> About Phone —> Firmware Version.
If you have a higher version than 1.32.405.6 you need to downgrade. Instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
After that you can use this guide to root and flash whatever you want: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
This info isn't so hard to find...

[Q] Detailed unbranding

I have just replaced my Sony Ericsson Vivaz with a nice new HTC Wildfire. The phone is pretty good, but I have the typical problem carrier spam applications.
I need to get rid of them. So de-branding would be my best show. I have a lot of experience with Symbian-based phones, but I'm pretty new to Android.
I've seen a "tutorial" (barely explaining stuff) on how to debrand it, but I would appreciate it if someone could explain in a little more detail (or maybe a screenshot or a video if possible).
Also one more thing (the most importaint)...while I have a slight chance to figure out how to do it, I have no idea where to get a generic firmware (or are they called "roms"?) from...anyone can tell me where I can get one that's up to date(UK region or Spain would be appreciated)? (Android 2.2.1 is the latest I believe? not custom firmware please)
Thanks in advance to all readers.
Do you like to experiment with your phone and use roms?
If so, you need to root and install a rom
The only thing that will more than likely stop you is the hboot(please search on how to check this) if your hboot is not ver0.80 you cannot root for the time being until it is unlocked.
If you want a generic rom please search Google for shipped-roms website.
For help how to do this search forum for Thu flash.
Hope this helps

I've found a website with roms, but how do I know which is generic (HTC, unmodded) and what region?
Actually, the names are so weird I can barely even figure out what they are (example: RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe )
I don't want to install mods, only debrand it...do I need to root the phone all the same? Or unmodded roms work without it?
And one more question...after flashing with a generic rom, will I still receive OS updates (if any are released) the same way I am now?
P.S. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741651&highlight=Thu+flash <-- is this the "Thu Flash" you were talkning about?

Additional languages

Hi guys !
I have a problem with my SGH-T999 SGSIII from TMO.
Ive got it as a gift and I wanted to use it with a different language.
Personally i dont mind to use English, but my girlfirend is pissed off when she has to do smth on my phone, and she doesnt understand my tips what to do (in English ofc).
So i was wondering is it possible to have a Polish system langage + input language support on the rom with build in root i have recently flashed ?

You need to flash to a different rom to get the language support. CM10 or Dandroid 2.8 will have the polish language.
Thanks for your reply !
Well i would want to flash a stock rooted rom with more languages.
Im more like in the HTC HD2 section and im not into SGS3 roms
Would you be so kind and tell me which rom for SGS3 TMO looks like stock and dont have those ****ty TMO stuff in it ?

Download old version blandroid 2.8. All the newer won't have the language packs.

Guys, I have been trying Dandroid and Wicked roms - the Wicked one just to check it out (it didnt have the Polish language though).
When installing the Dandroid rom I could choose the Polish language, but the system settings are still in English ...
The majority of the system is still in English, as if I used the Play Store App ...
Is there a rom for SGH-T999 which has a full translation support - i mean every language in a full version, for all system settings, icon texts ect. ?
Which version of Dandroid did you try? Is it the 2.8 blandroid like I said earlier?

Been trying the lastest one which was saying it has the multilanguage support (ver. 4.5 i gues) - it had the Polish language in the input language, so my friend could use swype typing.
You need to flash to a different rom
