*System will not show up on these languages but every app that supports that language (for example all Google apps) will change.
The default system language for these will be English.
If you are using a custom launcher (Go launcher, for example) you will probably have all your system on your selected language except the settings menu.
 
 

For the new languages and the default settings to show up you will have to format system/cache and make a factory reset, I am afraid. (make app backup)
 
JaggyRom_2.3.4
- Rebuilded boot.img back from stock to ensure no errors being made. It may solve some booting problems on some people.
 - Now dalvic cache is moved automatically at first boot. No need to do it manually. (150 mb free memory at first boot after factory resset) 
 - Init.d scripts support. They were not supported on previous v2 versions. 
  -  Removed debugging mode persistent notification on status bar.   
  -  Recompiled SystemUI.apk, now suitable with UOTkitchen. 
  -  (new) Fixed eventual adb debugging notification showing again on notification bar.
  - (new) Set vm heap size back to 20m by default. Found to be the fastest value. Set it manually in with a2sdgui (recommended).

Wiping dalvic cache before installation is strongly recommended.
you may also need to fix permissions inside advance options inside recovery.

Lite versions:
- Removed all bloatware, widgets, Htc logging apps...
(+25 apps, see list here, thanks to nukeblitz). Mail and google's quick lookup were not deleted.

previous versions

To update to a newer version you dont need to wipe anything, it will all be done automatically.

3. Instructions, please read carefully

(not needed from version 2.3.1) To move your Dalvic cache open "A2SDGUI" app and press "move" in the dalvic tab. Free up +60mb!

use "Titanium backup" to move data to sd card ext partition, choose apps you want to move their data, long press on them and select "move app data to sd". Both data and lib files will move. You can also select batch option to move several applications data at the same time. select a single app first so data folder is created.Check what apps are using the data with "DiskUsage" browsing /data

Install the .zip in the recovery menu (install zip to sd option) once you unlocked your bootloader and flashed your recovery. Tutorial by me here.

First time installing this rom? Take a look at the first time user detailed tutorial by mahmudaq(thankyou dude )

Do a factory reset after making backup of your apps (with titanium backup... etc.) if you have a different rom (stock...).

Apps will install automatically to your SD partition. Partition your sd card before (before flashing recommended) to Ext2,3,4 (not fat32) format using programs like Minitool partition wizzard, or using recovery option (no swap needed). Around 500mb-1Gb partition would be fine to start with (depends of how many apps installed). (don't make it greater than 2gb). If you use "Minitool partition wizard" remember to leave the first fat32 partition at the left and then a primary Ext2/3/4 partition.

To check used/free memory on SD partition browse /system/sd with "DiskUsage". Internal memory in /data

NOTE: If you want to be able to make a full nandroid backup, including your ext partition, you need the custom recovery made by "yannou90". I updated the recovery (on february 21st) on my rooting tutorial, just download it and flash it.

4. FAQ

Q After installing many apps one or a few have stopped working, force closing. Phone reboots when updating apps. Rebooting phone doesnt solve the probem.
A Some people reported this problem, fix it by going to APP2SDGUI and pressing "rebuild" ig you are experiencing force close of apps. If the phone shows a black screen when trying to install an app and shows the bootanimation for a short time, do a normal restart to fix it.

Q Apps still install on the instarnal memory, I have to move them manually using link2sd or simillar.
A Apps will appear to your system that they are on the internal memory but they are NOT, they are just linked to it. To check the memory go to /system/sd with "DiskUsage" for the sd partition and internal memory in /data. select [root required] to be able to select them in the application.

Q I want to modify battery mod, add scrolling glow or make other customization to them rom, how can I do it? Could you upload it?
A As every person has different likes about customizations of icons and colours, If you want to customize your rom visit http://adf.ly/BnkpV
upload the required system files from the zip and after downloading the modified ones swap them and install the rom normally.

Q I just installed the rom and every time i try to install an app,the screen goes blank and I get the startup animation...this happens even after I restarted my cell twice...any help?
A Go to A2SDGUI and rebuild dalvic cache. If this doesnt work remember you had to use the recovery from rooting tutorial here, step 3. NOT the recovery installed from "Rom manager" and make factory reset with it before installing the rom.
I will kindly answer to your questions but NOT repeated ones, please search thread before you ask.
