Hi
Because the full lack of information about this phone i've decide to post here a method to flash Hisense A2 using Qfil for those who have such format ROM.
So let's begin with preparation. What you will need
1. Universal android ADB driver http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
2. QPST version 2.7.438 https://archive.org/download/QPST.2.7.438
3. Appropriate ROM version for Hisense A2
(SPECIAL THANKS TO VEROWEED for it) here is link for ver 6.03.09.00 witch unclude multilanguage and Gapps. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6NNJt1rXASQM2lCV3BQdy1qeGc/view?usp=sharing
This is all. And we can begin process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Install QPST and ADB driver , Make sure phone is atleast 50% charged ,plug phone usb to PC or Laptop , enable usb debuging on pop up menu. Now you should see it in device manage as : Android Composite ADB interface.

2. On Usb menu sellect CD-ROM type of connection.
3. Open My computer check on cd roms and double click to install hisense drivers.
you should see in device manager now
4. Keep phone pluged and dial *1973461# it should open System info menu , enter in debug setting and check Auto load usb device.
5. Unplug and plug again usb to phone in device manager must be appered:
6. Now find QPST in start menu and start Qfil
7. Setup Qfil like that:
8. Press download button and wait flashing process (the phone reboot to EDL MODE black screen and flash the rom in qloader 9008 mode do not touch or unplug) .
When download succeed message appear unplug phone and reboot it mannually by pressing power button for around 10sec.
Hi @all
Better do not believe needrom.com and other pages if they say you can download a multilingual update of the firmware there.
They muck around, cheating you. Cause they just have chinese-english versions without gapps anyhow they say it is multilingual firmware including all.
This firmware may be origin, but unfortunately no international version.
I did this mistake... and had a phone, I can't use anymore after the "upgrade".
For all who did same fault, here you can download the origin and really multilingual firmware 6.03.09.00 (with all known bugs) and gapps the Hisense A2 was delivered with.
With this, you can restore your Hisense A2 back to it's origin state.
Better having some bugs than a firmware with no Google Play Store on the device and no home language on it.
After following the manual in #1, my A2 works again finally like new bought.
Thanks a lot to the thread-opener for doing this fine work.
kind regards
Veronica
Hi,
Are gapps included in Qfil flashed? Also, need to reinstall all existing apps?
Kind regards,
Edward
Hi,
QFil is just the application you need to install the ROM onto your Hisense A2.
The firmware (ROM) contains Google Play Store (with all needed components) and GMail.
After flashing your Smartphone is like bought new - empty. Just the ROM with included apps.
Thanks a lot indeed.
Hi,
glad, I could help.?
btw... having a big problem with this buggy multilingual firmware.
Beside the not opening App-Manager, the Doce-Manager won't open also (settings - battery- battery optimization), where I can exclude apps from deep sleep.
Since no app like my Whatsapp and Aquamail shows it's notifications after device is sleeping half an hour, I really need this setting-page or another option to avoid this problems by excluding this apps from doze.
Anyone a idea, what I could do? Any app availiable perhaps, to replace origin power-optimizing page or another way to open the doze-settings?
kind regards
Vero
Thanks Baistan and Vero,
The rom with gapps work fine. BTW, shall I upgrade official fireware?
Regarding deep sleep issue, you may search "memory cleanup" in setting and turn it off. Alternatively, add those apps you don't want to be frozen into 'white list' on the same panel.
Kind regards,
Edward
Hi Edward,
Thanks, but I did the settings, you suggested already.
But "WhatsApp" won't give a notification nor receive messages after device is sleeping half an hour.
What you mean with "Upgrade official fireware"? I just had offer to upgrade the "Vision-Launcher". Since I did this, "Vision-Launcher" displays a message "Upgrading..." each start of the device.
Thinking cause Root is missing, the Upgrade is installed just temporary and not static. So better leave it. Found no way to remove this upgrade to avoid the message while booting.
Hi Veto,
Maybe, you just a full page widget foe WhatsApp as a temp solution.
I may follow to upgrade the Vision Launcher too. Because its reading mode could provide a clear and better view on eink monitor.
Kind regards,
Edward
Hi Edward,
I use the Nova-Launcher, cause I like 5 icons a row on screen instead of the Vision launcher with just having 4 of them.
For the Whatsapp notifications, it seems, I found a working solution.
Beside the Power-settings you have suggested, and I already did before, it was neccesary to open WhatsApp, then tip the lower square button and open the task-manager. Here I had to push the Whatsapp-task down out of the screen. Then a lock-symbol appeared in the upper right corner of WhatsApp-task in the task-manager.
By doing this, WhatsApp notifications, sound and vibratings appears every time, independently the time the Hisense was in DeepSleep-Mode.
Works as well with my prefered mail-app AquaMail and all other apps with notifications running in background.
Now I can live with the bugs of the A2.
As Hisense told, just the english-chinese Firmware is origin by Hisense. The multilingual version is from other developers and has no support by Hisense.
So may possible this firmware will get never an update, perhaps.
Kind regards and wish a nice weekend @all.
Vero
Hi Vero,
That's great.
I have encountered another issue. Keyboard doesn't pop up when I use the eink panel, so I am only able to text on LED side. Any hints to solve this.
Have a nice weekend too!
Keep regards,
Edward
Wanted: Your Experience with Hisense A2
Hallo,
I read Your very usefull informations how to solve some problems with Hisense A2. I' m thinking about to buy such a phone. May I ask You about Your experience?
What kind of bugs did You register?
What kind of problems did You recognize?
In wich countries do You use the phone? If in Germany: Which is Your telephone-company?
How good does it work?
Can You recommend the phone?
Thanks for some informations about Your experience in advance.
Kind regards,
Rüdiger
Hi,
@Ed.chk
I only use the eink-screen for reading ebooks with using EZPDF-Reader and Moon-Reader. So I never need the keyboard on this side of the device. I open the books on the color-display and then swap to the eInk-Screen.
Thats no problem to me. Unfortunately I have no hint to avoid the problem wit the missing keyboard. Did you try different keyboards like Swift?
@rud32
I only have recogniced the problem, app-manager-Screen does not open as well the Doze-Screen won't open.
For deinstalling apps, I use TXToolbox now, what has more useful features.
A replacement for the missing Doze-Screen i havn't found. But since locking background-apps in taskmanager as described, it seems not to be a must to have access to the Doze-Screen.
Other problems I have not found.
Other users tell about watch (clock) problems - I don't have this.
I dwell in Germany, use the Hisense A2 here and in Austria (with roaming) and my provider is Congstar (a cheap daughter of Telekom).
Everything works fine. And I am really happy with this phone.
Only one really bad thing is, Samsung doessn't support this device for using The Samsung Gear-App, if own a Smartwatch by Samsung like Gear S2 or Gear S2.
I have both and unfortunately can't connect the smartwatches with the Hisense A2. So no notifications about incoming mails or WhatsApp-messages on the smartwatch. Therefor I always have to take my old smartphone in my case with me to get this notifications onto my smartwatches.
Apart from this, I really can recommend this Smartphone for everyone who want to read ebooks sometimes on road without need to carry the big eBook-reader with in case every time.
Reading eBooks on the Hisense A2 really is nearly comfortable as on a standard eBook-Reader.
I heard, in near future Hisense will offer the Hisense A2 Pro also in Europe (with support) with a little bigger displays in front and back and some more better hardware.
Info (german language):
http://winfuture.de/videos/Hardware...e-mit-E-Ink-Rueckseite-vorgestellt-18272.html
If I had knew this 2 Month before, I had wait until this release.
Kind regards @all
Hisense a2 is ****, wait for the yotaphone 3 instead
@rud32 be wiser, don't buy it... Better wait instead for the yotaphone 3.
Previous to the Hisense A2 I had the yotaphone2 which I sold after I became frustrated that the yota3 hadn't arrived and I learned about the Hisense A2 and it's better specs.
Boy do I wish I hadn't sold my Yotaphone2....where to start?
The yotaphone2 had seamlessly integrated the functionality of the second screen to the overall use of the phone...so many ways to personalize it, so many covers, so many widgets and apps dedicated to the ink screen and thus so much functionality.
The Hisense A2 Is just a wannabe honestly. I hardly use the e-ink screen because it's so damn hard to get around it... (Successfully unlocking it on the first try is sometimes is a triumph because it either freezes or glitches)
I've had mine for about a month and the learning curve has been brutal specially because of the stupid custom ROM with vision launcher....so many bugs, (ghost touches, glitches, apps close) and So little chance to personalize...also even though I have set the language to English some parts still appear in Chinese...
There have been times I've wanted to throw it on the ground and kill it.
It's really frustrating....

Install yotaphone 2 ROM possible?
Since @baistan showed us how to restore the original ROM on our Hisense A2, I was wondering if anyone knows if it could be at all possible to "Frankenstein" the ROM from a yotaphone 2 into the Hisense A2 ?
Previous to owning the A2 I had a yota2 and boy it would be nice to somewhat have back the comfortable UI from the yotaphone in both screens.
Thank You.
Tanks for the information
@veroweed: Thanks for Your information. Meanwhile I ordered a Hisense A2 . Yesterday it arrived. My first experiences are the following:
- I ordered the phone via aliexpress in China. The device arrived within 20 days. But I had to pick it up at the customs services where I had to pay 19 % as Value Added Taxes.
- I use the phone in Germany. The provider is Telekom. Till now I had no problems whiel calling.
- I didn't change the installed ROM yet. This Software Version was installed: L1261.6.03.09.00. Here I could choose German as language. But some parts are not translated. There is some German, Englisch and the names of the ringtones are still in Chinese. But that is not really a problem. One does not need german names to test ringtones.
- The installed Clock-App is working. But the APP is immidiately closing when I change to "clock" or "timer".
- "Manage apps" (-> "Einstellungen" -> "App and permission manager") is not working.
So long,
Rüdiger
I made latest system.img and guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/guide-hisense-a2-6-09-03-00-gapps-t3696423
Hi @all,
I already bothered joygram. I have a Yotaphone 2 and a Hisense A2. Hisense is new and was delivered with Software Version L1261.6.03.09.00, Kernel 3.18.24. To me e-ink is inferior to the Yotaphone. Joygram told me it was possible to activate "smooth" mode. I am to dumb, did not manage it by now. Pressing the home button longer? Maybe someone can give me a hint. My phone is not rooted. Developer mode and experd mode in e-ink is enabled.
Does anyone kow if there are any other wingets for the e-ink. Unfortunately i do not understand chinese (which might be a problem in the future). Otherwise the phone seems to work fine in Germany using O2/E-Plus, thanks Jens
6.03 not support smooth mode
you must use higher version.
so I made new system.img using this thread's system.img and new firmware files.

I had the same problem because I had to add a keyboard!
before switching to the E-INK you have to change the keyboard
1: open SMS or INTERNET the keyboard is displayed
2: bottom right in the corner of the screen you have a small keyboard you press it is you choose "Android Keyboard (AOSP)
3: you leave SMS or INTERNET
4: you switch to the E-INK screen and the keyboard works !!

For people who keep requesting the download link for BLACK 2.0, if you care to check the WIKI you will see that its there.

Thanks,
JJ
P.S. Thanks for all the messages and support, I have releived some stress and now I might consider getting back in the,,,,, wait for it...., ****en Kitchen! (dont throw a bible at me for swearing)....
Welcome back jj
Just ignore all the PMs and crap from the whiners and the dickheads - hell, post the rom with a different userid and ignore all crap they fling
in the PM box
I might have sounded off about everything that's going on in the WM7 thread but it is a shame that people like me who don't post a lot but read a lot, lose access to the time and effort you guys put into these ROMs.
NOW PUT YOUR ****EN APRON BACK ON AND GET AT THAT STOVE MISTER ;-)
---
Don't let the b******s get you down!
BTW, I realsie there's no feedback on Black 2 in the post (OK, hitting myself already ;-) but it has just been rock solid for me.
I will edit this post and add something useful here today - i promise
Edit:---
OK, thought of something Would it be possible to add something like psshutxp to build so that when the "uneducated masses" (I don't like labelling people n00bs ;-) make a reg change that they've read in the wiki (yeah, right) they can use that to then restart the phone rather than complain when the registry changes don't take?
Sorry jj, best I could do - it really has been the best ROM so far and I've had no issues with it out of the box - but I can see this being one of those handy additions
OK, so how about this as a skin that will suit psshutxp on a black ROM? Perfect if you ask me...not my work though so I can't take credit. I believe is was a guy called xcilion http://xcskins.50webs.com/index2.html
Hope you don't mind the suggestion, but there is a problem with voicemail notifications that seems to affect only Orange customers. This has been fixed and the fix will not interfere with anyone elses voicemail. Would you consider adding it to your ROM even though it affects only a minority?
BTW - great to hear from you again - hope you had a couple of cool ones with the donation I sent!
The fix just involves running the sdkcerts.cab file and replacing the sms_providers.dll in the windows directory with the one in the enclosed zip file
Please EDIT your post and attach the FIX for ORANGE customers.
Three issues with Black 2:
1) In messaging - when you select an email to open and press the action button (center of D-Pad) it often bounces you out to Today screen. Then pushing Messaging button takes you directly to the email.
2) Removing Battery and Wireless Icons from Systray (using HtweakC) cause device to slow right down and pretty much die. Putting them back and device speeds up again.
3) Windows Live - using the messenger no problems, but cant remove the email account it creates called Windows Live (am guessing thats as hard coded as MS acn make it?).
(Sorry they are issues and no fixes - and welcome back- otherwise its VERY stable - one beer sent!)

Q: Do SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Weather work ok?
A: Yes & Yes although I personally favour SPB Mobile Shell
From the Guru JasJamming himself
To be honest, althought SPB pocket plus doesnt cause boot issues on Black 2, it does hog your memory.
I ended up using SBSH instead and my memory is great. I dont have the memory leak issues as some have reported. These are the apps I use everyday and the usage frequency:
1. sbsh pocket breeze: all day long
2. sbsh ilauncher: while in the car
3. spb gprs monitor: all day long
4. WMLive: when out of office
5. TomTom nav6: driving to/from work etc.
6. Check emails every 5 minutes
My memory on a fresh SR is around 27MB with the above plugins etc and after a days usage its around 23mb.
One thing i have noticed, WMPlayer, if i load that piece of crap, my memory gets eaten up, and for somereason after I close it, it doesnt free up all memory but hey its Windows right. Now I use pocketplayer.

Man you had me worried for a minute there.....Glad to hear from you.
1. Ringtones settings reset to default after prolonged usage of phone.
2. Please implement the wifi fixes for the bubble.
3. Can you fix the nice softkey applet - htccalendar link. I just replaced your SoftKeyApplet.cpl with that SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl but I like your interface better.
4. You may not like this one but Kypur and LSVW have some nice default alarm sounds in their ROMs. Can you replace yours with some of theirs.
Once again...Glad to hear from you. Peace paypal something your way>>>
I don't know if this is just related to my Hermes, but anyway I post it:
Earlier today I turned my Hermes ON again after leaving it OFF for almost 2 days with Black 2.0 inside; Instead of loading the OS, my XDA Trion went directly to Bootloader mode and then had to make a soft reset.
memory leak.
i remember reading about someone else having a memory leak on the original black 2.0. i am having the same problem. i have removed everything other than the rom and the "fix" cabs and still seem to have about 1Mb less program memory per hour without any programs running. if there is something else you need from me to help figure out if this is something with the rom install or a hardware probelm.
ps. glad to see you cooking again
wifi ap missing
i notest that some people was have problems with the wifi with this new rom becuse it happend to me when i flashed it.
*fix* i found on my own just want to get it out.
soft reset your phone with the wifi on and the aps should show up.
hope this helps.

I'm wondering if M$ is just handling memory differently in WM6 than they did in WM5... Taken a page from Linux memory management perhaps?
Glad to see you back with a future release, I always had a small issue with my phone answers the incoming calls while being taken out of the belt pouch, is there a way to have a new aplet to control actuating answering only through the green button.
And many thanks for the greatest ROM ever.
Mr. JJ,
Though I am not actively posting messages here, I am really support your Black edition WM6, I installed 1.2 and now 2.0, and happy with it's speed and stability !! Support u and your contribution !
I almost have no problem with 2.0 SPB Mobile Shell + SPB Diary + CE 2.8 R3, but when I turn off the screen with power button and try to turn on again, the screen will sometimes still in black unless I push the reset button.

Same here...Setting up my AP was smooth. Then once I tried to reconnect after powering off the AP was not available. FIX was checking the "THIS IS A HIDDEN NETWORK BOX". Soft resets did help me.
2 issues
1) Is there a way to make the windows live messenger only connect in Wifi Mode and thru USB cable.. Or not make it connect to 3g/Gprs ... it gets annoying after a while.
2) Anyone who installs SPB software should be aware that it can possibly screw up your WIFI connection and deem your hermes unable to use wifi. The reason i know this is because after i hardresetted my device with only resco explorer installed...i could use the wifi again...
First off let me tell you black is the best operating system i have used on my 8525 fastest, no more soft resets, no more problems thank you for this build of wm6
running
Pro Black 2.0
radio 1.34.00.10
HERMES100
CINGULAR
boot 1.06
i have used the ipl-sspl spl-1.09.ds by DES to upgrade everytime with no problems
theses are issues i have but cant seem to find the fixex for them
cingular keyboard fix symbols are all wrong (i searched can't find cab)
everyone tells me they hear me very loud when i am speaking normal on speaker phone and also speaking into the phone (i thought it was from radio 138 so i put back to 134 and same prob) could this be caused by black 2.0?
i never had this prob before
and that is all i have noticed
and most important PLease included me as one of the lucky people who get to download and use black as their os on my 8525 thanks

1) My understanding is that MS and the networks agreed that messenger would try to use GPRS first - for income purposes - but all you have to do is hit cancel when the device starts to make the gprs connection.
2) I dont think there's any logic to your suggestion - the reason I think that is that I have SPB pocket plus installed and my wifi works fine.

CINGULAR
boot 1.06
i have used the ipl-sspl spl-1.09.ds by DES to upgrade everytime with no problems
theses are issues i have but cant seem to find the fixex for them
cingular keyboard fix symbols are all wrong (i searched can't find cab)
everyone tells me they hear me very loud when i am speaking normal on speaker phone and also speaking into the phone (i thought it was from radio 138 so i put back to 134 and same prob) could this be caused by black 2.0?
i never had this prob before
and that is all i have noticed
and most important PLease included me as one of the lucky people who get to download and use black as their os on my 8525 thanks

Man your setting yourself up for a flame homie. I typed "Keyboard fix" in the "search this forum" button and found this on the first page http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36144&d=1175128576
So far Ive been using 2.0 since it was presented, and for the life of me, I cant find anything at all wrong with this rom, besides the wifi bubble thingamabob! I mean I work the hell outta this phone, with numerous apps intalled, and everything work as it should!
8525, radio:1.34, hard spl, black 2.0,
apps:tcpmp, tomtom6, netfront 3.3, sbsh PW, MS live search, Tengo thumb, Tengo KB, Bandswitch, resco photo viewer, palm msg, logmein, flash7, reset scheduler
JJ, I am sure it was good to take break and have a beer
I added a couple of wma files in the windows folder because I wanted to use a different ring tone for incoming calls. When I go under sounds and notification and choose phone:incoming calls, I don't see the new ring tones.
I tried placing the files in the ring folder which is under the windows folder as well and still no go even after the soft reset.
Black 2.0 and the rest of the information is in my signature.

Due to personal issues, I will temporarily only be able to list The.Decoy's ROMs here. I am unable to cook for a bit.When I get a chance, I will be back to play with mods again. Enjoy His work as it appears to be shaping up nicely! Most of the information below needs some updating, so I will get to it soon as I can.
UPDATE!!! NEW ROMS & 6-IN-1 KITCHEN RELEASE
23102, 24001 & 28014 - Trinity & P3600i
PLEASE SEE POST #233 ON
THIS PAGE
Notice! The following specs are no longer accurate, but are probably very close:
P3600 Specs:
22.22MB Free Ram - After using all day, it settles in to 18-20MB
46.88MB Free Storage
P3600i Specs:
21.71MB Free Ram
13.84MB Free Storage - Ouch! I'll get this better. I need to selectively RecMod Packages, but currently figuring them out. Although, with your extra storage space on the i series, this may not be an issue, huh? It's sure a fast ROM this way.
These specs are from my P3600/Trinity with HexEdited, so not very accurate!! Can I get feedback on what you actually have on your P3600i's?
Featuring: cHome Titanium with My Blue Theme and My Custom Icons

God Bless You !
FYI
The.Decoy is generous enough to look through my Kitchen for errors and will help me fix them. When that is done, I will release a better version. The first one was a test to see if I could make one boot.
I'll get back to you soon. Possibly tomorrow, even if the.decoy has not had a chance to go through it all, I will see about getting a Super Ultra Lite version out.
Then, after he gets a chance to look it over, I'm sure you will get some fun stuff.
Crossing Fingers
Anyone tried the P3600i version yet? Does it boot? Work? Crash?
OK, I decided to drop a Super Ultra Lite pre-version on you tonight. It's 2:00am here now, so I may have left something out. I'm going to bed now, but if you find anything wrong, or would like to see changes, please leave feedback and I will see what I can do when I'm awake agian.
Good Luck and Enjoy!

I'm not fully back on track, but I miss doing this stuff.
I don't know what to say about the WiFi issue. I'm recommending to everyone to only flash your ROMs AFTER going into the Windows Mobile Tri-Color Boot Screen. Power/Camera/Reset. My WiFi is still down on my Trinity, so I have no way of testing it on these releases. Hopefully, we will find a fix for the WiFi issue soon.

Which version are you running? The Beta Expiration has been removed, that text is only Text and can be removed through the Registry. I thought I had done that, but again, at 2:00am, I obviously missed something.
I'll try to put together a Cab file for those who have already downloaded this ROM and don't want to download a fixed version.
Well full version the one I found in 28014 folder above the UL folder...
wow, great to see you again! Waiting for updates since weeks
it is possible to have a version without Chome? i'd like to use SPB Mobile Shell. Thanks alot!

The Super Ultra Lite version does not have CHome. Also, I'm rebuilding and uploading the Kitchens, AutoFlash and RRU's right now. Should have them up within a couple hours. From the Kitchen, you can add remove any of those items. Custom ROMs. If you would rather not try cooking, then I will work it out for you.
I don't know how many personalized ROMs I can build, but if people can be patient, I will attempt to try a few. What I would be willing to do is start from the Blue version and drop anything people want left out. Adding things is a little more time consuming and might be done on a case by case basis, depending on the need. Some Packages I might already have and it would be easy to add them. Or, if you provide the package, that would help too. Not a cab, but an EXT Package.
First, I want to apologize if anybody had trouble downloading today.
I was amazed that there were over 200 downloads between 3am and 5pm Pacific time. Thank you everyone for checking these out.
I'd still like input on the P3600i versions as I have no real way to test them or see Bugs as you would on your phones (I'm on a Trinity). How's the Memory, Storage Space, Bugs, etc...?
The reason you MAY have had problems downloading was because I removed all the files from MediaFire and re-Cooked and re-Uploaded everything. I also restructured the MediaFire Mirror a little so it was easier to keep track of files from my end.
So, they are back up and rebuilt (Links in Post 1 & 2). Input would be nice if you get a chance. I've been speaking with The.Decoy and he's pointed out some issues I need to deal with, so hopefully I can understand everything he tells me and make these better.
Just for the record, The.Decoy is Incredibly Intelligent, it actually blows my mind what he knows (Many Levels Above My Understanding of All This). A good guy to hang out with, indeed.
Dear Supersport
Had flahed 28014 Blue version for P3600 yesterday and it really took long time to stabalise but after that WIFI and phone all working smoothly. No errors observed till now and will post if any observations are there worth mentioning.

I don't really know if there is one, and it's not that I'm videocalling all the time, actually it's my 4th or 5th phone with that capability and I used it only ONCE on my first phone just to see how it works but I'd like to have all phone features enabled whether I use them or not but I could live without it I guess still it's a bit weird that newer phones are stripped form that feature don't you think?
more important - what about EzKeyboard? imo it's as usable as FK but it takes less screen space so it's a bit more handy (for me ofcourse)

Thank you for the report. Yes, first boot is a LONG boot. I've noticed that since the 23xxx versions. But it does eventually get it done.

Ok, I have to agree. I've NEVER had the opportunity to use the Video Calling feature, but I also feel every available feature should work, Just In Case!
I'll see what I can do. I had a report that the video dialer in my 23504 Blue worked, so I'll try that here. I don't remembe if it disabled the Smart Dialing feature, but it might.
Could you tell us how to remove the beta warning ? or should we reinstall ?
+1 for EZInput especially since it includes predictive typing for foreign language user... would be great to be able to choose to use it... but fingerkeyboard is nice too !
I also wanted to report having a weird message about voice command stoping because lack of ram (I don't use voice command).
Since it's christmas time what about a weather plugin included or even better a preconfigured CDigitalClock :

Thanks a lot for this rom, I find it very smooth and fast.
I had a terrible time getting simplified Chinese to work on my Touch 2 Pro. I tried everything. Finally I had a solution. I will share it with everyone because it was so much trouble for me.
Everyone will tell you to go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700311 and follow the instructions there. No, this is only for traditional Chinese input! The fonts are OK but the input is not suitable.
Next, everyone will tell you to download Sogou, QQ, A4, or other Chinese input method. This is not suitable! Why? Because these applications interfere with the keyboard of Touch Pro 2. With some, the shift key did not work and I couldn't write capital letters. With others, the FN keys did not work (symbols like ;:'& were remapped to other keys!) One of them remapped the entire keyboard, making text unusable! I needed the official HTC input. After hours of searching, I finally found a version that works. Download from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693907. It says it is for a specific model of phone, but it works fine on mine. The only problem is that the soft keyboard is squashed while the keyboard is pulled out, but if the keyboard is out, no need to use the soft keyboard.
My steps to get simplified Chinese working on Energy rom. This should work under any other rom as well.
0. Always install these softwares on your phone's internal storage! Do not choose storage card! Everyone seems to know this, but I didn't know and only learned through much trouble. Back up your data using PimBackup and copy the files from your phone to your PC before doing any of these changes.
1. Install fonts. This lets you read Chinese characters. Sunglobe is a good choice, click on sunglobe.cab at this link.
http://www.filecrop.com/sunglobe.cab.html
2. Install input method. This lets you write Chinese characters.
http://rapidshare.com/files/384459717/IME_CHS_2_1_20132025_00VGA.cab
3. Change system default font. This lets SMS display properly, otherwise you may see boxes with question marks in some situations. Edit the registry, and change this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/GDI/SYSFNT
Edit "Nm" and change to the value "Tahoma" (REG_SZ)
Each step requires a soft reset. Do not uninstall the HTC input method, or your phone may not boot - you must hard reset and lose all your settings and contacts! When finished, you will have the official HTC simplified Chinese input, and all Touch Pro 2 keyboard functions will work correctly.
Perhaps there are better HTC input softwares available from http://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&hs=34S&rls=en&q=+IME_CHS&btnG=Search. However, the only download links I could find required logging in to a Chinese BBS (need Chinese ID card to register) or need to pay some sort of virtual currency to download the file. Can any Chinese person click on this link and see any better alternatives?
i also spend a lot of time to get my phone have proper input as well. I use traditional chinese input primarily though. What I ended up doing is
1-install the font
2-install the ez-input 2.1 that I fond on the forum.
3-remap the key because the key that I am using won't work wiht tilt 2 (but if you got touch pro, it should work).
The only issue I have is that the software interface won't show chinese character, for example when I save a word file with chinese character it will not show. However, the chinese chacracter shows up on the phone's contact, folders, Opera, so it works for the most part.

This is why you change the system default font. Perform step 3 on your phone, and I bet you can see Chinese in MS-Word.
thanks, I really need this. Tried out sugou, QQ pinyin and A4 but they all messed up with my qwerty keyboard (Rhod100). Hopefully this will help.
update:
not working for me...
even if I switched to PinYin or Stroke, all I can type out is just mere English, no chinese at all.

once you have install the cab, you have to select "Touch input". My device shows 2 touchinput and one of them has weird issue but when I swithc to the other one. it works. you may also need to press the onscreen EN (or zhong) to switch between the two input method.

Is the soft keyboard there when you slide the keyboard out? Is it too short for the screen? Press 中 button to switch to Chinese input. Let me know if it works!

If it doesn't work, then say exactly what you did. Include screenshots if you can.
I did encounter one small problem where after I install the software, it has 2 touch input and it always default to one that does not work at all. Anyway that I can remove that or set the phone to use the touchinput that will work?
I don't know how to do that. This solution is a hack, but it's the best available. I'm sure there is a better version of official HTC input, but I can't find it in English. This works on my TP2 (although you can see in the screenshots where the soft keyboard is short) although the software is for a different model.
Has anyone tried this and it works? Any problems with the procedure? I'd like to write a better tutorial. I'd also like any Chinese person to try to find the official HTC_CHS package for Touch Pro 2. The one above is for a different model of HTC phone.
Not work for me either.
I just installed the IME, (I already have sumsun font installed on my device).
and reboot.
I saw you are using 21xxx, could you please also test on 23xxx?
Doesn't work
Doesn't work on Energy ROM, both Pinyin and Handwriting...
Are all of these HTC Touch Pro 2 phones? Nobody says which phone it is. And could you be specific what "doesn't work"? The phone doesn't boot, the screen doesn't appear, can you include some screenshots?
It works great on my TP2 running Energy ROM.

Do you think you can show me to get the keyboard remapped properly? I also have a tilt 2.. ez input 2.1 messed up my hardware keyboard. Thanks
eh sorry for late reply... still no luck making it works... even worse case is that it messed up with my qwerty keyboard much like the other Sogou, QQ Pinyin did.
I've tried using both qwerty keyboard and onscreen keyboard to switch 中/ENG but still can only type out english...
by the way, I am using Touch Pro 2 (Rhod 100) ASIAN phone running Energy ROM Dinik Glass Experimental....
Think I might flash my ROM soon and will try out this method again to see how's the deal...
A bunch of posts just disappeared...what the heck?
huh? there are some posts missing.
Anyway, just an update...
I had flashed my TP 2 to Energy ROM Cookie 23xxx version. Then I just did as per Bro gromky instruction there and still failed.
But then, I've installed myself QQPinyin this time and guess what, this time it actually works for QQPinyin for not messing up my qwerty keyboard again by switching the layout to 简体中文 (which didn't help last time)。
So, any idea on why this is happening? Anyway, I'm so glad that I can type chinese font this time again.
Thanks Bro gromky
sorry to say but it doesn't work for me as well , the device isn't booting and i need to hard-reset it,
i'm using HD2 with miri&dinik vs 19

Yes, same thing happens to me as well. Love to get this to work compare to MKCW Chinese Input which takes up too much phone memory and slows down the phone...
i installed the ime input on the first post, it messed up my cooked htc input and doesnt work at all. My phone does not boot after uninstalled the ime, i had to hard reset. fire those who wish to try, remember to backup first.
Dear friends,
I have serious troubles with my hardware keyboard,
it's german layout (and a german phone).
Often it doesnt take input until the third or fourth tap on the according
button, while other buttons create a series of letters after just one short press.
So the text often looks like this.
Hlllllo mmmmum,
nee yoou to pckk meee upp afffterrr sclllll.
it has been like that for a while, but seems to get worse over time.
at first only m's and n's did this, now it's impossible to enter passwords or other sensitive texts.
I have been using custom roms for a long time, always using hard reset and t29.
but even the old roms where it once used to work fine suck now.
I restored stock spl and installed ofw via sonyericsson fw update,
slighty better, but still uncomfortable.
I used kaiserinput to get the german layout work properly,
but that is not the problem, since i tested the ofw without installing any extra apps or games.
it seems to be a driver issue of some kind, any experiences with that?
Help much appreciated!
Greetings,
Fk
It's a known issue. If you had used the search function you would have found the answer yourself. You have to disassemble your phone and clean the contacts. Afterwards your keyboard will be just as new.
Hey thanks for the quick reply.
I apologize that i have not searched hard enough,
I could not find it in my attempts.
Would you mind to post the according thread link for me?
I will try now to find it on my own!
I will report back asap then this thread can be closed!

3G Video Calling & Smart Dialing!
Please, ONLY those who are comfortable flashing ROMs try this. If it causes problems, you will need to Boot Into Bootloader and Re-Flash another ROM.
Hello Everyone.
After many months, maybe even over a year (Ever since 6.5 came out), I've been trying to get a working Video Dialer on WM 6.5 ROMs. Well, a couple weeks ago, I had muhammri verify for me that it INDEED WORKS! Not only Video, but ALSO Smart Dialing!
So, with that knowledge, I've tweaked the ROM a bit and would like Video Call testers. I don't have a way to test Video Calling since I don't have anyone to test it with, so I'd like some of you to let me know if the Dialer works properly in this build. If anyone wants to see my Mug, PM me and I'll call you or give you my #. I've NEVER been able to test Video Calling. US only please.
Please keep in mind this is a BETA, and as such, will likely have some issues (Menu not cleaned up yet, Icons need replacing, Likely other issues...). Please point these out to me so I can fix them and get a clean base Kitchen that I can release. I'm anxious to see what others will be able to do skinning the dialer more than I have. (Hint Hint - nAr & icke! )
As always, you Must have HardSPL Installed, and you Should backup all your data.
ROM INFO:
Titanium Build with Home Screen Customizer that allows a weather Panel
I will be making other builds later (M2D, Stripped, etc...)
Includes the new Mail App with Conversation View
Includes the new Contacts App

OH! It's fantastic! Any Image?
I prefer to wait, but when there is a stable version I try it, for now I like my ROM but the battery is dying.
Thanks Superspot!
I believe that when I deleted the kitchen, I put it back together from the wrong parts. It was quite unstable. I started from scratch and built the Kitchen again. This time, much better. Not perfect still, but better. See Notes Below in RED on what is fixed or not...

So and I . I have downloaded this ROM but not testes yet. Think better wait for the Udate
By the way, Thanks to SuperSport for your amazing ROMs for Trinity. I am one of you fans....
Thank you guys, and I'm really sorry. Between health, Thanksgiving, kids, etc, I have not had much time with this. I will try to focus again as I know Trinity does not get much Love lately.
This is my latest build with a few things fixed. It's still definately BETA, but much better than the last one. There are still some issues, but I will get to ironing them out again...
DOWNLOAD
EDIT: Finger Keyboard Broken...
Really, I'm very excited, but I wait for a Stable version.
Is any possibility of test the ROM in the PC?
Thanks SuperSpot
Great ideea to keep 6.5 at a bare minimum to leave more RAM available for intensive apps such as navigation software!
I just installed it and I have a few problems:
-SD card does not work. works on my computer, tried formating it, no result.
-Device Information and Microphone AGC icons are doubled
-Opera 10 mobile does not work "a critical component is either missing or cannot start..."
Good work so far!
Make it great!
Sorry: I tested the first one so I'll come back after I test the latest!

Thank you for all the reports. It does help. I'm also running into those issues. I've recreated another that has fixed some of them. I'll keep working and get another release out asap.
It seems that when I included all the Video Dialer stuff it breaks other things, but I'll beat it!
It also seems like I'm having trouble with 23569, so I'm backing down to 23504 until I get it stable, then I'll try adding back 23569...
Here is the current one if anyone is feeling daring. I've removed FingerKeyboard and Added HTC EZ-Input, including Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY and Phone Keypad. Duplicate Icons still exist and Opera is removed till fixed.
alright, so this 23504 is the latest beta right? gonna test it in a minute, as 23102 built from yours and Decoy's kitchen is having some issues because of my changes and i dont remember what i have changed to revert it back but i hope opera mini will work, its essential. also if you're going to cook another betas etc please do version with ez input and finger keyboard separately - there are many of us who highly dislike finger kbd or make it uninstallable. alright, downloaded so i'm going to flash it, cheers!
edit: alright, so it is quite fast (as far as we can say something like that about 6.5 roms ), Opera Mini works fine with wifi, i thought ez input will be v2.1 not v1.5, but its still a beta, so neither this or lack of weather panel is really an issue. what i like is that you didnt include 1000 apps, only the essential ones - this way we can install what we want, anyway first thing ill turn off in the kitchen when its released is additional themes which are so damn ugly i cant stand having them included . will give this rom a try during next few days, probably until another version arrives, looks good so far, keep up good work SS!
edit2: woah! the included chome customizer is ACE ! i've managed to add weather panel easily, and this is much better panel than the one i was used to see in earlier roms! great!
edit3: issues spotted - i cant disable T9 properly, it reenables everytime i start typing a new message etc. also windows media player volume is reverting to 75% no matter what you set each time you run it
this is just a beta and I already love this rom
SS,
apologies, not able to reply as I'm occupied with my work & assignment (part time student).
my pending reply are as follow
-Error to start garmin mobile - "que.exe" NOT SURE WHY. MAYBE UPDATE WILL HELP?
*Not sure, but maybe some thing left out when you cook the ROM, fyi, no issue when I flash with other ROM before
-Video Call Work (outgoing & incoming) Is Video Calling AND SmartDialing working together?
*Sorry, didn't check it, however from its apperance, look like its work I think.
-Change Input Sim Pin Background Color (currently green) Anyone remember where that image is? I can't seem to find it.
*It's the screen where you need to key in your sim card password/pin.
Anw you have done a really good work. Seem like there another beta update. Will download and test it later.

Hey jedai, long time no see. Probably due to my lack of doing anything in the Trinity Forums lately.
Thank you for the input. Yes, the Home Screen Customizer is a favorite of mine also. I like the weather panel it installs. I am not happy with the EZ Input yet either, but I like it better than FingerKeyboard for now. I will try to track down the newer version, as I was not aware of the update.
I think I'll be removing more apps on the next release because I feel the same way about too much stuff that I don't want in my ROMs.
well i wasnt exactly active either there is this "TO:" field bug also - outlook may hang if you choose a name from ez input helper (i hope you know what i mean, i dont know how to call it but it shows you contact names when you just type one letter, and there is one from windows/outlook and one from ez input and the one from ez input hangs outlook when used, especially when xt9 is enabled, which happens to be enabled everytime ez input is used, as i mentioned earlier).
there isnt much more i've noticed, few suggestions maybe - htc connection setup shoud be part of the rom i think, even though its damn easy to find and install. also as i tested some roms recently, both winmo6.1 and 6.5 some of them werent able to play 3gp movies which is kinda weird behaviour for a mobile phone, so i hope this one will be able to play them (i dont have any of these files to test atm). maybe its time also for office 2010? i know besides new nice icons not much has changed if anything, but still - if we weren't for eye-candiness we would stick to wm5.0 dont we?
