hi guys,
Does anybody know if it is possible to change the language of the MDA Compact from German to English?
because i'd like to order one, but i dont want to be stuck wit this german language on my device.
thanks.
See some of the other forums for more details...But, to answer you question... Yes, you can flash the English ROM which should be available later this week from nowicom (which is where I assume you are buying MDA Compact???

What if I buy a German one from some other place. Can I still flash it with the Nowicom software?
Not sure. Where are you going to buy???

I'm not sure. Does it matter though? It the same hardware isn't it?
No. I'm just curious b/c I had a hard time finding a place to buy. :? nowicom is about the only place where I found it "in stock".
Can I download the german version from somewhere just in case the english upgrade of nowicom won't work?
Hey Katsj I ordered from nowicom based on some of your comments. Anyway, I just took a risk and have no idea how to flash the English ROM. The support at nowicom said it was a simple update and said she didn't know how to do it either :shock: Although, she said that she would find out tomorrow. My device should be shipped tomorrow
Mike believe me flashing a pocket pc its extremely easy! My MDA compact will be shipped tomorrow with UPS Express I asked for the fastest way and I am willing to pay the 92 euros for the next day delivery!
I will let you know as soon as I flash mine and I will give you all the details!

No, that's not what I mean.
I mean, does it matter where you buy it as it's the same hardware?
I'm just thinking that many people will be buying from German websites as that seems to be the only plave it's available in Europe.

I knew what you meant. :wink: But, I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Hopefully, more info on this will be posted by some others that are in the know!!
@katsj: Could you upload the English MDA Compact ROM, or even better:
Intellidialer.cab, Intellipad.cab (in ExtRom) and cprog.exe (in windows) . . . .
If I get the english rom then I will upload all the extended rom files. Nowicom didnt send us a link as they promised today!
Thanks! Looking forward to that! 8)
can someone, who have the compact in german already, post the german ROM files please?
Just had e-mail from nowicom saying that the english rom won't be availble until Monday now.
I'm not sure if I believe them.

I don't understand why you wouldn't believe them. You think they're lying?
Idem for the Nowicom E mail: available Monday
here's the answer from Nowicom to my last email (one hour ago) :
Hello,
we are still working on it. It could be that we have it today or during the weekend. It is not sure that it takes until monday. As soon as it is available, we will send it around.

Check www.mobem.com
I tested it today with Athena.. the fonts looks ugly... Tweaking at the moment. For non-VGA devices such as Trinity, it looks ok.

Well it's the french speaking part of Belgium
Darn, FNAC has already listed that device in their database, but at tremendous prices !!!
699€ bulk
499€ with an Orange Origami Star 3h contract
399€ with an Bouygues Neo.2 3h contract
they don't have it in stock. They hope to have the 9 in stock tomorow
**** man.. its too costly.. and I wonder if i can get engish version!!
The WWE model I ordered got delivered today (in Belgium) while the NL and FR version should arive at the distributor on friday, arive here on monday/thuesday.
They only initially stocked 5 of each but the WWE's were out of stock as soon as they got in stock
are you talking about btrade.be because it seems that they don't sale NL or WWE version ???
Sorry for my noob question, but I am new in the WM-Phone sector.
I want to know if it is possible to put a WWE ROM(so far I understand this is the english version) on my ordered HTC TOuch HD (which has a german ROM on it)?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the somehow stupid question.
Ascenca
With my collegues TTYNII I accidentaly flashed the WWE Windows Mobile 6.1 version on his without knowing it originaly was an NL version and it had no problem with that.
I wouldn't take my word for it though, there are many more knowledgeable people on the WM device subject on these boards.

As long as the ROM is for Touch HD you should have no problem flashing other language ROMs. If your device is branded you might need Hard-SPL though, read the XDA wikis for info (or stickies in Diamond section, it works the same way)
Thats good news! So beeing a fact that my HD wont be branded I wont have any problems to flash new HT ROMS on it. Excellent!
Does somebody know if there are improoved ROM's out there for the HD?
Thanks for the infos! Ur great, this forum is great!
how can you tell if the phone comes in wwe.
most of french mobile shop located on paris say that it's going to be officially release for 1st week of december..
what a joke..
I have waited for diamond for being release, and then the touch pro and now the HD..
almost 6 month of waiting...
and in december htc gonna release something better and tasty than the HD..
stupid me

Oh please, stop that!! That site exist for a long time, since Qtek exists, it's just they never trade their name.
I would say that next week, if Qtek get to its promise

LOL... You don't understand my "Be carreful".... I am not sure that they have stock. Why ? Because this morning (at 10) they didn't have stock.....
What still worries me is that in the Netherlands, you can get the phone for free if you take a 35€ contract for 24 months, and in France I couldn't find it for less than 399€ with a at least 45€ contract for 24 months...
it's so rubbish !!!

I've made a Spanish version better suited for you. Should work much better in Spanish ROMs.
Updated first post:
French, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Finnish versions added.
Nice-nice
excellent news, thank you!

Ah Monsieur, A very fishy question indeed. I think for you the French one would be best. But I'm afraid it may be too late. Ah, quel dommage !

Guys, this is just a joke - don't get it.
Aprillia, aprillia, syö silliä ja juo kuravettä päälle!
currently there are only 7 languages available... is there any way to implement more in a future release (custom rom or patch)? i' ve read somewhere that this is a google subject and acer can't do anything about it... (i think a user send an email to acer about it and they answered that)...
honeycomb should have more languages till now...

The problem is easily solved through market for the keyboard languages.
But the issue of the honeycomb ui, can' t be solved with an application...
By the way, multiling is a nice one, i use smart keyboard but the layout isn' t satisfying in landscape mode, so i'll give it a try...
The keyboard is not the problem... the keyboard has a lot more languages than the Ui.
I´m going to make a call to the norwegian support tomorrow and ask about more languages and especially Norwegian for my part.
I got mine from Scotland a week ago, and hoped it had all the languages as i´m used to from my HTC phones. But no such luck.
This device has now been released in Norway, and i hope they can give me the rom.

If you have any info regarding this issue, post it here please...
I have now spoken to the Norwegian support team and they say that as long as I have bought this outside of scandinavia, it will not support other languages. And they have not got any rom to give out. So I can eathe wait for an official scandinavian update or install what he called a "unlisenced" program/rom from some developer. If I installed from a developer it would not take away the warranty on the product only take away the support on the program.
So i hope someone can take a scandinavian A500 and get out the rom and post it here so we can get support on more languages. The scandivavian models usually have a lot of languages installed.

I doubt it that there is a scandinavian version because acer mentioned that it is google's issue the language support. I bought it here in Greece and installed there are: english, french, german, italian, spanish and two chinese i think.
I'm surprised by the fact that they advised you to install a custom rom... custom rom demands root, root means hacking, can harm the device (if you perform overclock for example or bricking the device if something goes wrong) in any way the warranty is over... as far as i know from my mobile phones so far, there isn't such "dual" warranty, one for software and one for hardware simply because software (especially custom) can damage hardware...

I totally agree with what you are saying. I was a bit shocked that he sugested what he did. I will contact one of the stores here in Norway that sells the A500 and ask if there is Norwegian language on the one they sell. If it is that's great....if its not...then Google have some job to do on the gingerbread. We can't live with just those languages.
Edit: Just got of the phone with a norwegian retaler and they could confirm that the A500 that they sell do have Norwegian UI.
One of the staff had just bought one himself, any could confirm it.

Hi,
I have the same issue. I bought a Iconia outside of scandinavia. I would like the swedish ui.
The thing is that i got a System update message yesterday. I havn't installed it yet. It doesn't say what it updates just that it is a 1.126.03 version.
I guess this is the build number. I currently have the 1.016.03. I wounder what version the scandinavian models have.
Language pack CD ?
Same problem here...only 1 language available...
I called ACER support BNL and they told me that it is possible for retailers to order a language pack CD from Packard-Bell.
Next week i will try to get this so called language pack CD.
If not...maybe somebody else can try to get it ?
Greeting to you all...

Which is false.
My Acer is imported from Austria and yes the only language selectable is German but you can use English language. Just install morelocale (free on market) and that's it. My device is in English now.
