Call for help: Contacts Chinese (pinyin) search and msyh fonts in 6.5 ROM

I am in China, and have upgraded my snap into the 6.5 ROM. I have two questions.
1. But I still could not seek contacts via the 26-key keybords, only 9 keys (T9) could be used. I've tried to install "pinyin seek.cab", but it does not work. Is there any solution?
2. The Chinese font in snap was ugly. I've tried to change fonts on 6.1 ROM, but I could not manage it on the 6.5 ROM. I tried to install the msyh.cab (14 MB), but it does not work. Any solutions?
Thanks.

which rom have you flashed? My one is tmob dash 3g, i flashed 112509, it works well for me. under \setting\tools\keymap config, select the right one for your snap.
in order to display chinese, i tried several times, at last i found one way to solve it. install msyhfull6.0(15M) first, restart, then install msyh(4M) which is extracted from snap asia 6.5rom, restart again.

I flashed this ROM "RUU_Captain_SNAP_CHS_WM65_2.03.723.2_refry", but i could not find the keymap config at "\setting\tools\".
And could you share the "msyh(4M)" for me, thanks.
My Email is [email protected].
thank you!

http://www.hi-pda.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=513815 Just click the link. 4Mmsyh, official asia rom(6.1?). Sorry, msyh(4M) is extracted from c720w rom, not snap's.
my one is dash 3g and the keymap is totally different with other snaps. so i flashed the "RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.50.112509.rar" cooked by ookba which has included all kinds of keymaps of snap. For me, it's enough to display and input chinese character. I don't care whether the UI is cn or en.
it's said the offical asia rom would go wrong if msyh is tried to be installed. maybe a rumor.
If you needn't chinese UI. I think you will be satisfied with the rom i have mentioned. It works stably and includes lots of useful tools. and also, i have fixed some bugs of titaniuweather.mrsc, if you need it, i can send the fixed file to you.

Thank you.
MSYH font have fixed, with a 14MB font pack and modification in the registry files.
There's no keymap config in my snap, maybe a new ROM should be flashed.
I've tried RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.00.101009 without Chinese display. So I flashed to a Asia ROM. I need further study in Hi-PDA, thank you!

They should be as long as you got the HTC_CIME i think is the name of the chinese one.
Anyway, the real question is: Are the Chinese applications suitable for english version ROM

What is HTC_CIME? Is it a specific ROM version? And, could you tell me how can I find out what version of ROM is on my phone?
Thanks.

HTC_CIME is HTC chinese input method editor (or something like that ) it exist as HTC_CIME.apk
So try to search but HTC_CIME.apk around the forum, not sure all roms will work with this if not i bet there is an default android CIME. But read several places that this is working on some of the no-sense roms released here on xda.
Since i'm not Chinese or even know the language i never had any use for it so don't know much about it either. Don't flame me if i'm wrong, just trying to help giving you some words there might help you in your search for a solution

Thank you anyway. But you still not tell that how do I know what is the version of ROM currently running on my phone? For example, you know yours is "CursorSense32A-1.2.6.1".

Narkewoody: the easiest way to use Chinese applications or see Chinese characters is for you to install an add-on program, such as CE-Star or Monster Chinese. The downside of doing it is that certain system-related prompts will be shown in Chinese, as opposed to English. Let me know if this doesn't make sense. You may also want to go to the CE-Star and Monster Chinese websites and take a look. Good luck.

co0kies theme requirement

Hey Guys,
Since Android hasn't finished yet i will not switch over yet, and wait wil switching OS.
instead of that i will use an Theme for the TP2. ( co0kies Home Tab )
i found co0kies home tab theme very great, as i searched for further info i found out that i need Manila 2.5 ( 2.5.1920, 2.5.1921, 2.5.1922, 2.5.2011, 2.5.2012 )
Where can i get this? After many hours of searching i found out that it might already be on the phone, but i dont know what version is on it.
can someone help me with this? Co0kie wrote this to find it out.
To check your Manila version: go to the settings tab in Sense, select "About phone", and then "Software Information".
If you have any problems with this mod please report your full Manila version (e.g. 2.5.xxxxxxxx), the device and ROM you are using.
Where is this tab named "Sence" ?
Can't find it anywhere x'D.
So, do i have Manila ?
If i dont, Where can i get this?
If i do, How can i see what version?
And if i found out what version, What is this tab named "Sence"
Another thing is that if something goes wrong, how can i return to the normal WM 6.5 ( NON - MODDED / THEMED )
Also, Last question.
Do i need to flash my phone for this?
Greetings

If you're still on the stock ROM that came with the phone, then you don't have Sense 2.5
The only way to get sense 2.5 in this case is to flash a rom with it. You should be able to get all the necessary information in the rom development forum

THANKS! i will search for this, very usefull !
Sence is the Bar below right? cause at Settings > More > Today > Items i have "HTC Sence" In the list.. and its checked on..
If i have this "Sence" Where can i get the Manila thing?
I found manila.exe in my File explorer\Windows\manila.exe
How can i see the version of it ?

"Sense" is the entire pretty little graphical interface that you're playing with...the clock, the tabs on the slider, and everything in those tabs, is all the interface that HTC built to go on top of Windows Mobile. HTC has been calling their shell "manilla" for a long time, Sense is just the latest generation of that. There is no "sense tab", and the exact location of where you can see your sense version varies....which carrier's model of TP2 are you using?
However, it's kind of moot...like ctbear said, if you're still running the stock rom, you're not on 2.5 anyway, most likely 2.1, so you'll still need to flash a ROM if you want to use co0kie's home tab

i live in europe, and my carrier is Hi.nl so i dont really know what model im using..
thanks for the information, could you provide me with a link that has the 2.5 rom? i'm so afraid i will choose the wrong one since there are so many around
thanks for the information again!

Hey guys, flashing a ROM isn't the only way to get 2.5 on the phone. I followed the directions in the "Manila Sense 2.5 cab?" thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661941) after a Task29 and a couple of hard resets using the stock TMOUS 6.5 ROM...I have 2.5 running fine with the CAB from post #4 of that thread. I put CHT and CHT Editor on and all is well. It's way easier to use a Energy ROM, but I was having problems with messaging and connectivity so I went back to the stock ROM. As I said, all is well...going on the 3rd day with the setup and haven't had any hiccups. No tinfoil hat phantom usage issues, either.
YMMV, obviously.

If you got the phone from KPN/HI you will have an unlocked TP2 for which you can get the latest Rom on the HTC website. Manillaversie: 2.5.20121225.0 is Sense 2.5. Original Dutch Rom should be 2.07.404.1 NLD.
If you need any more info let me know. You can also send me a Pb in Dutch if that would be easier for you.

In Norway the TP2 is now coming with Sense 2.5 as standard stock ROM.
To the question, slide the slider at the bottom to right(all the way) then you'll be at the settings tab, follow cokie's instructions from there...

You dont need to upgrade your rom to get Sense 2.5...

I myself havnt tried it as I DO flash roms. However, Xhero doesn't seem to know much about anything on this phone... nor to use the search feature... nor how to use google and search "The difference between Manilla and sense" Soooooo I wouldn't recommend flashing a phone just yet to him/her.
Xhero... do your reading.. LOTS of it before you start trying to customize your phone. You dont want to screw it up and then have to come back and start a new thread asking how to hard reset your phone... Please please learn how to search the forums too. The best advice that can be given to a new user. If its too difficult to use that search key in the top right of EVERY page on every thread on XDA then in google search what you are looking for and type "XDA" after it..... ie.. "Manilla 2.5 install cab XDA" or something like that and Bingo Bango you'll be brought to the thread!
A little research and common sense goes a long way. Have fun with your phone and remember to post relevant questions in the appropriate threads and you'll likely get your answers super quick!

I have allready guided him to the correct Romupdate from HTC. Yes there are other ways of getting Sense 2.5 but this is now the easiest way for him to obtain it.
In the Netherlands the TP2 is also now being shipped with Sense as I got mine last Saturday with the new Sense on there.

Hi, HTC HD MINI users....

i just bought this phone from ebay...
problem is....... the phone is in italian language, and not english...
i am panicking for what i should do, because i called HTC and they said they have no solution to change it to english
any advice would be appreciated from you guys, thanks

i'm also ok with chinese language FOR NOW, if english isnt available....
because i see a chinese rom file for download in this forum, but i am also not sure how to install it after i downloaded the .exe file

Mine is also gonna be in Italian (ordered today) and want to change it into English or Spanish. I downloaded both official ROMs, but apparently we also need something called Hard SPL before flashing it, otherwise it won't work

can someone kindly direct us to, or teach us how to install these language roms?

currently is not possible until hspl available

Try BSB tweaks
Hi,
I don't actually own a hd mini, but I do have a friend who does own one and the problem she had was very similar to those mentioned on this thread.
So I suggested that she installs 'BsB tweaks' and she told me that although it doesn't change all of the interface into english(or french, spanish, dutch, german, italian, czech, portuguese) it does change the Manila language...
Steps:
1. Download BsB tweaks 1.6 (or newer if any)
2. Install BsB tweaks
3. Go to 'menu'
4. Click on 'manila language'
5. Select your desired language
Hope this helps

thanks for the info, but i checked out some info on bsb tweaks online and it is for hd2 right? or does it work with the hd mini as well?

Yes it works perfectly on Hd mini and most of the tweaks i've tried work too

thanks all for the help..
ive installed the bsb tweaks, and some menus are english now, but some are still in italian....
is this the best solution already?

yes its the best solution for now until the HSPL is out !

Little explanation since the thread starter seems to be new at flashing custom roms:
First of all, concerning your language problem. You should be able to at least change the HTC Manila into the language of your choice by customizing a registry setting. This is at least possible in other Manila Roms for other HTC Devices.
Second of all, Hard SPL is necessary to be able to flash a Custom Rom onto your HD Mini. This "unlocks" the phone. Might be a while until someone makes an SPL for this device. Warning, if your phone ever fails to work and you have to send it in then your warranty is NOT VALID anymore if you change the SPL.

Now, you can change your ROM the english ROM
the hack tools leaked.

I've just installed BsB Tweaks in my new HTC and i was able to changed most of functions from Swedish to English. I'm waiting for update which may support all the functions in my HTC. Thanks for the information

Here is your Saviour!

Open your ROM with OSKitchen and save it without changing anything. Than use SSPL. It worked with me.

Change language in the Htc Hd Mini

Does anyone knows how to change languages from the default language into English in the htc hd mini?

Language is fix and can only be changed by flashing another ROM, AFAIK.

There is a application called setup in start menu, its a HTC Sense setup program, if you launch it, it will give you a chance to choose language you want to install for HTC Sense. Worked by me.

Hi guys, I just bought a HD mini on Ebay, turns out its from Taiwan and is all in Chinese, does anyone know if I can put an English ROM on this? I'm in IT and pretty handy with working things out, but I wanted to make sure that it would accept it before I end up with a broken phone!
