Mr. Clean 2.24a AKU2.3 Rom with Dutch language (how-to)

[molski]

Today I had some talks with Risidoro and Asukal about changing languages on Roms without upgrading to a whole new Rom.
Risidoro introduced me to Asukal after a question from me about Rom Cooking.

After some talking with Asukal about his "UI Language Switch Program" for Universal he gave me some files that I tested a few times.

Right now I am running a fully stable Mr. Clean 2.24a AKU2.3 Rom with dutch language, so for all dutch folks, here you go...
UPDATE: Right now I am running the latest 2.26 T-Mobile Rom, without problems!

[EDIT FRIDAY, 28th JULI]:

FINAL INSTRUCTIONS (for now....)

Definitive instructions to change the English Mr. Clean 2.24a AKU2.3 Rom into the Dutch language

- Install the Mr. Clean Rom
- Install these 5 files, I installed everything to the Main Memory, I advice you all to do the same!
1) Wizard_AKU2_NLD_mui_Tool.cab
2) NLD_Notifications_WIZ.cab
3) NLD_Today_113.cab
4) DUT_SMS.cab
5) NLD_Registry_Changes.cab
- Soft-reset your Wizard by turning it off and on (not with the Soft-Reset button!)
- Run through the (Dutch) Welcome Screen for screen alignment etc.
- Go to Settings -> Regional Settings (Instellingen -> Landinstellingen) and set it to Nederlands
- Delete the file \Windows\initobj.dat and rename \Windows\welcome.lnk to something like welcome.bak.lnk
- Delete the folder "\Program Files"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Fonts"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Favorites"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Programs"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Start Menu"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\Start Up"
- Delete the folder "\Windows\PDFfonts" (optional, but I did it to get 2MB extra free space because I don't use ClearVue PDF!)
- Remove all English folders in \My Documents (EXCEPT THE TEMPLATES FOLDER, in this folder the Camera Templates will be stored!)
So you can delete the Camera Templates from \My documents\Sjablonen
- Soft-reset your Wizard by turning it off and on (not with the Soft-Reset button!)
- Run these 2 files (located in this thread, somewhere below on the 1st page)
1) MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404.CAB
2) NLD_MMS_FOLDER.CAB
- Done!

Realy nice!

Gonna try it and will let you know if I have the same issue :)

Wondering though.. ..Wil this also work on the AKU2.5 that is being developed here at the moment?

[ghozd]

Not good, i cannot remove or rename welcome.lnk.......
Any suggestions, tried total comander and the windows explorer...


edit: Solved the problem on my own: First with total commander tap'nhold --> properties and disable the read only checkbox.
then goto shortcut tab and edit this to something....
then it is possible te rename..

Yeah not beautiful... but it works so what the heck....

It will work on AKU2.5 after some development from Asukal and some testing from me, offcourse when I got it working, you all will get it working ;)

My litle contribution to this fantastic idea ;)

For the Dutch T9 follow the next steps:
In the attachment are three files:
1 - dictprob.dat
2 - statdict.dat
3 - mssp2_nl.lex

Copy them to the \Windows dir and replace existing files.

Then make the following changes to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Spell Check]
"Main_Dict"="\Windows\mssp2_nl.lex"

Restart your device and it should work like a charm :D


The following location was not in my registry:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA CameraWizard(Pocket PC)\3.00\"

Second, I’m not able to rename or delete the Welcom.lnk
I’m using TotalCommander, and my device is decertified. When I change the properties or rename the file it looks like everything goes well. But when I refresh the file is still there.

[molski]

Great contribution!!

The following location:
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA CameraWizard(Pocket PC)\3.00\"

has to be:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA CameraWizard(Pocket PC)\3.00\Strings"

I'm almost ready with the CAB file that takes care of these registry changes, including the T9 stuff.

[/edit]

Uncheck the read-only for this file and then go to the properties and remove the entry, OR rename the file like I did to something as welcome.bak.lnk

[molski]

Here it is, the CAB file with the registry changes, with the files for T9 including one extra file (autocorrect.txt) from a dutch Rom, for (I guess) spellchecking.

I installed the file on my device and got no problems, I don't wanna say it is 100% correct, but I really guess it is, so were heading for 5 final files for installing Dutch Language on EVERY Non dutch Rom :)

By the way...don't forget to delete the old English subfolders of My Documents guys ;)

I love it to be Dutch :D

[mccune]

Looks great!

I don't mind that the welcome.lnk stays. It only lets you run the welcome screen once, in Dutch. After that it doesn't show up anymore.
I followed the instructions about the ReadOnly settings, but like I said it looks like it changes the name of the file. But after a refresh it's back again :P

Glad to be of some help concerning the Dutch spelling ;)

[molski]

I updated my NLD_Registry_Changes.CAB file.

Because the Camera has some problems, although I change the "Frames" string, every time you select a picture template the setting is resetted.

So the solution is to delete every English subfolder of My Documents EXCEPT for Templates (!!), but on the other hand, it's not a bad idea to have al the camera templates in a seperate directory :)

[ny-hardcore]

Where is the update cab file? is it the one posted above?

[molski]

Where is the update cab file? is it the one posted above?

Yes, but please read the 1st again, I updated the post with final instructions (for now....)

[molski]

I also tested this language Pack on the new T-Mobile 2.26 Rom and I can confirm it's also working on the new Rom.
My advice for now is, don't use the Mr. Clean Rom anymore, but the new T-Mobile 2.26 Rom and don't install the Extended Rom to keep it as clean as possible (or manually select what you want to install).

[mccune]

Hmmm... ..just came to tell you that I also run the latest T-Mobile ROM in Dutch now. No problems so far! 8)

[molski]

I really find it very cool that we don't have to wait anymore for Roms in dutch!
We just grab the latest WWE Roms and turn it into Dutch, no problem :D

The Mr. Clean Rom was cool to test with, but I'm happy with the 2.26 Rom.

[pgp]

are there any other languages?

[molski]

Nope, not explictit for the Wizard, only for Universal.

These packages that I am using now were custom created by Asukal especially for the Wizard!

[MagiCCyriL]

is it possible to do the same thing for french ?

[mccune]

@Molski
I think you can also remove "\Windows\Favorites" Because there is a directory called "Favorieten" for the Dutch users :)

[molski]

@Molski

Yep....you're right on that ;)

[molski]

Here is some additional info:

I noticed that after installing the Dutch Language Pack that my MMS folder is not created when running the file: "MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404.CAB".

So this is what you have to do to create it:

After installing the dutch Language Pack Soft-reset your Wizard by turning it off and on (not with the Soft-Reset button!), just like the how-to in the 1st post says. After that run through the Welcome Screen and after that execute the following 2 files and your MMS folder will appear!

1) MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404.CAB
2) NLD_MMS_FOLDER.CAB

The 2nd file also include the correct paths to the Dutch My Pictures, My Music and My Videos folders.


Regards,

Molski

[mccune]

Great addition!

The MMS folder did appear, but I can't send and receive MMS. When I select Send\Receive Nothing happens.
I'm using Orange, so I will check the MMS/GPRS settings.

When I get it to work I will post it here ;)

I did notice that their seems to be a layout problem in the MMS settings. I’ve attached two screenshots. Wonder if that has to do with the Dutch Translation Pack (DTP lol).

[phamoen]

Maybe a silly question but where can I find the files you mentioned?
edit/

Somehow they appeared.....
Not sure how, maybe because I run IE9 it causes some problems....
sorry.....

[molski]

I also noticed that the layout was not perfect, I'm also testing some sending/receiving of MMS messages, but it doesn't work for now :(


EDIT:

Sending from T-Mobile to my phone (Telfort) : works
Sending from my phone (Telfort) to T-Mobile : works not!
Sending MMS to myself (from and to Telfort) : works

[naboleo]

I'm also interrested in changing language version on my 2 days old qtek 9100. Did someone tried (and succeed) installing newer than 2.17 rom with french language ???

[mccune]

I was just wondering.. I read that the language packs should work on WM5.0 and not on one specific devive. So it should also work on the HTC Prophet?

[molski]

The orginal language packs were for the Universal.
These files were custom created for the Wizard, so I dont think they would work....but you can always try ;)

[molski]

I created an Extended Rom with all the files to change a English Rom into Dutch, so after you flash a new Rom, flash this file also to your device and let the Customization Tools do their job (because I got tired from manually installing and testing the files). After that is done you only have to follow the original how-to from the step where you must rename the welcome.lnk file and remove the initobj.dat file....that's it!

This Rom File contains the following files:

- Default_Signed_DisableSecurity.cab
- Wizard_AKU2_NLD_mui_Tool.cab
- NLD_Notifications_WIZ.cab
- NLD_Today_113.cab
- DUT_SMS.cab
- NLD_Registry_Changes.cab
- MP-Shorcut-MMS1-Voice-CV-TMUS-060404.cab
- NLD_MMS_Folder.cab
- Molski.nL_Performance Registry_Tweaks.cab
- Molski.nL_Customizing_Tweaks.cab
- Molski.nL_VoiceDial_Button_Customizer.cab


The last 3 files were added because that are my favourite tweaks that I always install, here you can see what tweaks the 3 files contain:

Program: Molski.nL VoiceDial Button Customizer

This program installs the full versions of WM5torage 1.60 and DeviceLock,
including shortcuts for both programs and the DeviceLock Control Panel.

It remaps DeviceLock to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (single press).
It remaps WM5torage to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (long press/hold).

I made this program because I never use the VoiceDial or Record functions of the
button, but I often use DeviceLock (and hate it to have it as an item on the Today
Screen) and WM5torage and wanted some quick shortcuts to it (but not on the Today Screen...)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some tweaks (2 tweaks) are in both files!

Customizing Tweaks file: Molski.nL Customizing Tweaks

- Installs Windows Green Theme into "\Windows", but does not enables it **
- Installs Windows Black Theme into "\Windows", but does not enables it **
- Installs Smartskey 0.52 into "\Windows" and enables it
- Installs Windows Vista Mobile Splash Screen and backups the original (second) screen
- Adds "Save as: First Name, Last Name" to the Contacts Menu
- Disable the security warning when installing non-certified application
- Don't delete CAB files after installing
- Install SoftKey controlPanel for changing left and right Softkeys
- Move "Temporary Internet Files" to 'Storage Card' *
- Enable CAPS Lock indicator *
- Improve Sound Quality of Speaker Phone
- Turns SMS Delivery on
- Install and enable Wireless Today Item
- Enable receiving of files over BlueTooth/IrDA
- Add time sync page to Phone Settings
- Add a 'Disconnect' button (and Timer) to the "GPRS Balloon Tip"
- Disables different GPRS/EDGE indicator icon
- Show Lunar Calendar (showing a 'Month' view with the Lunar months/days)
- Show All Day Event and tomorrow appointments on the Today Screen
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Registry Tweaks file: Molski.nL Performance Registry Tweaks

- Enable CAPS Lock indicator *
- Move "Temporary Internet Files" to 'Storage Card' *
- Increase FileSystem filter cache
- Increase font cache
- Disable window animations
- Disable menu animations
- Enable FileSystem cache
- Enable ClearType in Landscape mode
- Change the thickness of scrollbars to 9
- Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons to 9
- Enable 802.11g 54Mbps


* Tweak is available in both Registry Tweaks files
** Because I like Standard Windows Themes, just simple colored standard themes :)
Don't like the themes? Just don't use them and don't bother them!
The two files together is (just) 200kb on Main Memory.


The installation of this Extended Rom saves me from a lot of installing and tweaking of files and registry :)
You can find the file in this directory on the XDA FTP Server: ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Wizard/Tweaks/Molski.nL%20Tweaks/

Decided to give it try.. ..the Dutch Translation Pack also works on my new HTC Prophet 8)

Havn't tried the MMS part, but so far I'm running the Dopod ROM in DUTCH :D


I've created a link in the Prophet thread. If that's a problem just let me know ;)

[molski]

Havn't tried the MMS part, but so far I'm running the Dopod in DUTCH :D

Nice ;)

I will let Asukal, the developer of the Pack know this.

[djROH]

I can't find the file on the ftp server?? Probably deleted?

Maybe someone still has the file? Or Molski maybe u can upload it again?

Also sended u a PM, if anyone has it for me please PM me, really wanna try this ROM :)

[molski]

Check out the FTP in the directory /Wizard/Tweaks, there is a directory called Molski.nL tweaks with all my stuff in it I made for the Wizard.

[djROH]

Ok cool found it :) I was looking in the rom section :)

[pizzaman79]
