i have posted a couple of threads over the last week or so and the responses have directed me to make some settings that are to be found in the android settings ie language & keyboard, wireless & networks, accounts and sync ... same settings found on my android phone .... but i do not have such setting per se as a result of the root, etc. for example, when i download alternative keyboards from the market, i can not use them because i cannot access "language & keyboard" within any settings content... any suggestions how i can get access to the basic android settings?? thanks ... sorry this was so long
