I managed to extract the greek language files from another rom and I want to change my phone's (with new cingular rom), interface language to greek. The singular rom has only english. I copy the greek mui files to windows folder and I change some registry settings to include the greek language. I managed to have the greek T9 and, after an authedication message a mui file loaded and some of the menu entries( a few) changed to greek. Speecifically in settings menu I have the 4th entrie: Extended screen and in more... 7th 9th 9th entries in greek, but all the others in english.
This if I understand well, I think means that a greek mui file is registered and loaded, but all the others don't. Of course must do something more to fully change the interface, but I dont know what to do.
Any help or directions will be appreciated.

Thanks!



EDIT:

After a little farther research I found that some of the greek exe.mui files loaded and all these programs are full translated. But the dll.mui files I don't know how to test them. Some programs, like commanager, sim manager, camera, work, but the user interface like start menu and softkeys, and programs like WMP dont.

I think it doesnt work because some of the system files are stored in the ROM (read-only) of the device. You cannot overwrite these files or change some values on the ROM so imho thats why it doesnt work 100%.
Sollution is edit the ROM and flash it... but its not possible yet.

I know that it's no possible to flash the rom yet, but I read today in the forum that it's possible to flash only the os.nb. Maybe I will try it, but cause all these tools here are for other devices I don't know what to use. I used the nbhextract tool and core kitchen to extract the mui files, and I take them from the dumped directories. Maybe I can put them in the cingular os.nb and flash only this. But I did for first time this and I'm a little bit confused with all these different tools, roms, devices, and procedures.
