Anyone on mobilread who uses the A5 with multilanguage ROM from CECT-Shop in Spanish and can provide some ideas? |
I own one with the Google Play store.
It came with the phone configured in German, I had to tinker a bit too find the option to change the language to English and then install the Spanish language.
Almost all the settings are in Spanish, falling back to English when it's not translated, and then I think there was a deeper option in the settings that was in Chinese, but it didn't seemed important.
I use it as a eReader, not as a phone, I haven't inserted a SIM card, I have installed several readers and applications from the play store without problems, I have found two problems:
It's not possible to change the lock screen, including the lock picture, you can only put the pictures that come with the phone. I have tried installing a couple of launchers (although I have not uninstalled the POCO launcher that comes with the phone, I have only deactivated it to use other launchers) and I have installed an application to manage the lock screen (Hi locker is the app), but that application comes out after you unlock the phone, so if I use ir, I have too unlock it twice. A minor annoyance, but I can live with it. It seems that with the original firmware you can change it, is a bug of the Play store firmware
Another problem you might find is I think applications that check that your phone isn't rooted won't work, so maybe you won't be able to use bank apps in this phone. I think this because I have tried installing a Spanish app some libraries use, eBiblio, and although it's installed I can't open it, it says that the DRM won't work (I don't have the phone here, so I don't know the exact wording). The usual applications, including Kindle, work, eBiblio is the only one I have tried that hasn't work
