Chinese Rom to European - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Sorry for obviously being a noob. I am from Western Europe but bought my HTC Desire 816 in China and of course, as expected, there are no Google apps on it and even when I install Google Play store manually it doesn't launch the app.
I am thinking about whether or not I can put a different rom on the phone, a European (Dutch) one, or how does that work ?
Can anyone give me some advise please
Thanks!

Now you have the European version too from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52995489. But this is a single sim version. If you or anyone happen to find the dual sim english version, that would be of very help for me as I have soft bricked it recently and unable to find the RUU for that.

sorry to bother you
but can i flash this if i am using a dual sim version
will i be able to flash back to dual sim system when there is a rom came out ?

Unfortunately you cannot do that. You have to wait for the proper dual sim English version like me.

thanx dude!
Which part of Asian? What input languages does it come with?
I'm a Malaysian too
The only bad thing about this update and the ROM is the absence of Market :-( I don't like SAM.

Hi mystaka,
I am not sure about your problem as the device is still new here in SEA and i only have SEA units to test about. So far SEA device have given me no problems to installing this ROM. Maybe try another region ROM?

I have the exact same problem , i am running 2.73.707.9 at the moment, I can't install any official rom.
my hero from UK
can I install Asian ROM on it?
and what the different between UK ROM and Asia ROM?
Yea same here.Im from Singapore but yet the error says "customer ID error"... this is the SEA version what...
I know i'm digging into a pretty old thread. But just wanted to know if this SEA version works for the Indian version of Hero as well. I have a Hero branded by Airtel and I've been dying to get rid of the Airtel logo as that eats up all my boot time.

[Q] English (United States) on Singapore One X?

Hey Guys,
I am sorry for all of the n00bish questions lately, though I have the Singapore HTC One X running 1.28.707.10, and was wondering what the easiest way of getting a more common English variant on the device would be?
English (Singapore) and all of the other Asian English variants affect predictive text on the keyboard, which is why I am wanting a ROM with English United States, United Kingdom or Australia etc.
It is my understanding that I cannot put ROMs such as this one on the device (Europe 1.28.401.9), due to the devices CID?
Any help would be appreciated, there must be other people out there in the same situation? Is there a good custom ROM out there that is compatible with the Singapore version, and has a more common English variant?
aufens
I have a similar problem with mine saying English (France). Tho, I don't have any predictive text issues to speak of. I posted antutu benchmarks and got a French flag.
All roms available in dev section works in Asian firmware variant. I'm currently in 1.28.707.10 also and I've tried 5 different roms already which are based on Europe firmware 1.28.401 and got no problem flashing those.
Most of them english(uk) but team pkmn Rom also got english(us).

You can install apps to change location.
Like MoreLocale2, or LocaleSwitch, and set you locale.
Works for me.

That doesn't solve the keyboard predictive text issue though.

Yes the unicom version of HTC 816w is sim unlocked
Play store is not available by default but the handset can be rooted & play store can be installed easily
only one issue is that blink feed sources are all in chinese
so the only option is to turn off blink feed for now until someone makes a english patch for blinkfeed source

This is the wrong section, but you need to do *#06# to get your IMEI, and enter that number to the end of this link: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
It'll tell you which is the latest firmware for your phone.

Yes that is lollipop. It depends on what carrier you're on, which appears to be O2, and it doesn't look like it's getting it yet.
