I didn't try to do it. I am quite thanks with the phone for the moment. Which is the advantage of having it? (clockworkmod)
Did you manage to install clockworkmod? I have not been able to - getting China Unicom start up screen with a padlock sign (I have unlocked and rooted).

Hi
I v got mine also unlocked and rooted, installed google play. Did you use Gmail application from google? I have problem with this because it does not synchronize, i have to manualy press to sync. I go into settings in gmail and set to synchronize 30 day and try to turn on the synchronization but it always go to accounts but there is no option to add my gmail addres to sync. Any ideas?
I have the same problem, I also can't figure out how to keep my contacts sync'ed with google contacts. The event seems to happen in random since I can't add google account in [Accounts and Sync settings].
The HTC One SU (t528w) is a great device I'm loving it but the problems due to not finding enough resources is depressing. For example I still have to deal with chinese language in some apps like HTC Market place and Contacts location while I don't have any option to change it.
I managed to unlock, root and install CWM Recovery for it. If someone is looking for CWM Recovery image I can provide it for you, it's also available on: bbs.xda.cn/thread-11231481-1-1.html (I can't understand chinese but I managed to register, reply and download it).
If anyone can help me on how to fix Accounts and Sync, or how to install another compatible ROM which is not Chinese please let me know or point me on where to do it.
I just figured out how to fix the sync problems, here's the way:
1- First you must be sure to install full gapps including gmail, google+ and make sure they work.
2- Edit this file /data/system/sync/accounts.xml and find the line which includes: authority="gmail-ls" enabled="false" and change the enabled to "true".
3- You can change the enabled for other accounts/types as well if you want.
4- You can also change the sync timer in <periodicSync period=".." in seconds.
5- Restart the device
Hi guys,
I'm embarassed to admit that I bought this dual SIM phone (1/2 price of Glaxay dual SIM) and didn't even consider the "can't use Google Apps on Android in China b.s.". I know, smart move on my part. Now I'm in the same boat as others on here, trying to figure out how to (i) get Google Apps installed and (ii) getting the extra Chinese stuff off.
Below is some info I've found for what it's worth....
I saw this company is offering to sell the phone already configured the way I need it, but unfortunately too late for me since I already bought it: [Making the newbie remove the link to etotalk]
I did a little research to see if this phone is really a rename of another HTC phone that has other "MOD ROMs" already available out there. (QUESTION -- To be honest I don't know what needs to match: another dual SIM, or the radios, or other hardware spec (screen etc..) -- I just don't know what needs to "match" for a MOD ROM to work right.)
My first guess is the closest HTC device is HTC Desire SV [making newvbie remove link to SV specs on HTC's www website]
If so, then CyanogenMod has the “saga” for HTC Desire S [making newbie remove link] QUESTION -- Will a "non" dual SIM ROM work in a dual SIM phone (is the dual SIM a "base" Android function, or have to be in the special MOD?
There are MOD ROMs from CyanogenMod for One S ("ville) and One X ("endeavoru") -- But I know these are more "different" from the One SU than the Desire SV is.
There are MOD ROMs from Viper for One S and Desire
Appreciate any guidance.
Thanks.
For me it was quite simple in installing google play. I had an Desire S (sold now) and I made a backup of all the applications and services. Then, with Backup & Restore I restored the services needed on t528w. Everything went fine. With synchronizing Gmail it was same problem, too, but I really don't know how I fixed it. Sometime I still receive an error that the process google.partner (I guess) is not able to do something.
Hi
This does not work for me. I have edit accounts.xml with root explorer and save changes, but after restart the file is changed to original version and state "false" in gmail-ls. Installed most of google apps, maps, gmail, g+.
adb pull /data/system/sync/accounts.xml
..
adb push accounts.xml /data/system/sync/accounts.xml
adb shell
chmod 0644 /data/system/sync/accounts.xml
How did you guys managed to install CWM? I received my phone rooted and unlocked and with Google apps installed (which work OK, by the way). What version did you use? I'd be grateful if you posted a link.
Also, you think there's a better custom ROM that we could install?
Thanks!
fastboot flash recovery cwm-T528w_recovery_PA2.img
Is it an international version or chinese? I mean do you have any problems selecting locale settings other than English (China) and you don't see chinese words in some apps like contacts local?
If so, it may be good to get a clean copy of your ROM so we can try to flash it on our devices as well. Of course, you need CWM to make that easy.
I will send you the link to download CWM in private because I guess it's not allowed to post here, also the instructions on how to install it are below:
1- Turn off your devices and remove the battery.
2- Put the battery back and hold Power-On and Volume Up buttons at the same time until it stats the bootloader.
3- In your PC install HTC Sync Manager if not yet installed but if you already have the drivers you can bypass this step.
4- Plug your Phone USB to the PC.
5- Use fastboot to do the following:
Code:fastboot flash recovery cwm-T528w_recovery_PA2.img
wait until it finishes successfully, then choose the recovery menu from your bootloader (use Vol-Up, Vol-Down and Power to select).
* Please note that for first time, CWM recovery may take a while or you may need to press Vol-Up to make it appear. Once the interface appeared don't press Vol-keys or it would restart.. You can start interacting with it using the touch screen.
I'm also obliged to warn you that this may brick your phone because it involves flashing, so if you device is not compatible or you didn't follow the steps carefully any thing can go wrong I honestly don't know what might go wrong!
This warning is forwarded from other posts where I got my instructions for first time, although everything worked smooth for me.

hi to all
i will be great full if i can get a link to the rom
i was searching for that .....even i want to bought it from same company..but they refused..
i will be thankful..regards
Thanks a lot, mate, I finally managed to flash CWM (the one you sent) and do a factory reset.
I do have the Chinese version of the ROM but is tampered with by the seller (some Chinese apps removed). Do you think it's worth sharing this ROM?
Also, I have 2 more questions:
1. Last night I found 1 system update available while connected to Wi-Fi, I downloaded it but couldn't install (I think it's called OTA update). Is this because the phone is unlocked and rooted?
2. Since I first tried to flash another version of CWM, about 2 weeks ago (which didn't work, by the way) my phone charges very slowly - about 10 hours from 0 to 100%. Anyone got any idea why? Because at first it took about 2-3 at most.
Thanks!

hi thanks for posting direct link..appreciated ...Thanks for sharing the link, I've started downloading it and I may give it a try.
The direct link for downloading that ROM is the following:
pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=137728&uk=2703550168
When it opens, select the white button on the right (not the blue one) to start downloading.

Too bad that you feel like that, man! We rely on your works. Does that mean there's no more patches?
You know I've been trying to support your efforts but obviously you have decided already.. hope you would change your mind.

Sorry, mate! The truth is I've been rather busy lately. It's not that I don't want to share my ROM, the fact is I really use the phone right now and I'm starting to lose my patience regarding the lack of resources for this phone. It's a great phone, I love it, but I did so many factory resets lately, I even lost some data on the SD card.
I've been trying to backup my ROM using CWM (thanks again VisuM!) and I think I don't know how to make a proper backup or save the entire ROM as .zip and then share it.
Maybe one of you guys tell me how to do a good backup and then share it on some website, trust me, I'll do it!
Hello again!
I also downloaded that ROM and tried to flash it with CWM, but it didn't work, I think there may be something wrong with my phone - still, I'm glad factory reset still works. As for the OTA, I already gave it up.
As I was saying in a previous post I'm very unhappy about my phone charging so slow, which is starting to make me grow tired of it and think about selling it.
Anyway, I'm glad to see that you're still on the job, being one of the most active in this thread.
