[Q] Switching Galaxy S Vibrant (Canada) to Asian rom, is it safe? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been using Galaxy S Vibrant (with front camera) from Bell Canada. My only complaint is it did not come with a default chinese handwriting software.
I want to be able to write (not type in pinyin), and I know the asian model of Samsung Galaxy S have it built-in.
My Question:
1. Is it safe to modify my rom to Asian rom? If so, will any other application/setting be screwed?
2. If I decide to switch back to Canadian stock rom? Can I?
3. Where I can d/l the official stock rom and the asian rom?

[Q] Can I add chinese to my galaxy S?

I have an unlocked i9000 running Froyo XXJPO updated from Kies with a UK country code (XEU). My question is, if I change my country code to Hong Kong by hacking the registry, will I be able to download the hong Kong Firmware, and able to change my phone to Chinese display?
If not, are there any ways of using chinese on my phone (preferably through Kies rather than odin).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Its, used registry hack to download a stock hong Kong region rom...worked well so far, so fingers crossed.
Cab you send the the address to download that fireware I just cant find. also i am using galaxy S 4G, will that works for me too?
As I understand it, language is framework based, so if you install a theme that includes chinese (and I know many do) you will have the language regardless of your firmware or CSC.

[Q] How to add Chinese language display in Galaxy note

I have recently purchase the Galaxy Note N7000 in the UK, but unfortunately the handset did not come in chinese display, what can I do to make my device to be able to display and type in chinese? Is it possible to flashing the ROM with the Hong Kong stock ROM ? Or any other alternative ways to do it ?
My device version
PDA: N7000XXKKA
PHONE:N7000XXKK5
CSC:N7000XEUKK3
if u want chinese in your menus then u need to flash a rom with chinese support.
However if you jusut want to write chinese you can just install a keyboard (ie. touchpal) from the market and you should be able to after downloading the chinese plugins.
hope this helped
Do u mean I can flash the ROM with the Hong Kong Official ROMS then I will be able to make all the menu and interfaces into chinese?
So I can flash the UK Rom to hk official Rom with no problem ?( as long as i follow the steps ?)
Is it I should use odin to do it?
Thanks so much for advice
you can also transport the chinese input apk and library files to any custom rom. just copy these files over from any stock Hong Kong
/system/app/diopenchineseIME.apk
/system/lib/libdhwrcn.so
/system/lib/libdwpcn.so
/system/lib/libhangulcore.so
/system/lib/libkeyboardcn.so
I think flashing the ROM witb PC Odin is much faster. If you want simplified Chinese flash the PRC ROM.
Of you like Traditional Chinese flash the HK ROM.
Let us confuse the carriers and Samsung!

The simplest thing I recommend the Go keyboard as I'm using the Go launcher. I don't speak or read Chinese, but wife kids and friends all are OK with Go...including using fingers to draw characters onsceen. I don't want to futz with APK's every time I do a new ROM...too invasive from my POV.
I'm not sure flashing any HK/Chinese rom would be wise as the official Chinese roms will be built for the Chinese version of the Note, the i9228, not the European/International i7000 Note that you own.
I've read about people soft bricking their i9228's by flashing an i7000 rom so I guess the other way round would do the same.
I think hocgwai's solution would be the safest.
flash with the chinese rom
Go ahead and flash it baby!!
If whatever you try it doesn't work.
flash back original rom if it doesn't work.
if it still doesn't work, send it back to Samsung dealer for servicing!!
no big deal! samsung servicing is not as crappy as HTC, i hope!
just wondering did you get it working?
i also want to install Chinese on the galaxy note...
also anyone got the files or rom that i need to make this work?
thanks
Singapore and Malaysia firmware support Chinese display and input on the Samsung Galaxy Note.
Yours Sincerely

Hai, bro if you could explain more detail how to put these file inside custom rom such as Alliance Rom Galaxy Note 1. If you have 'Malay/Indonesia' language would better for me to solve my problem. I am hesitance to know more about this step. Thanks in advance.

SHW-M108S - Korean version

Hi all, i am very new to rooting and flashing android devices. And so far i've gotten my tab to 4.1.2.
I would like to know if i can flash rom that's for the p1 to the korean version? I don't mind if there's no korean language support, or broken radio (i don't use it as a phone), and or no TV support.
I've flashed it with the JiWon rom which i think was designed specifically for the M180S model.
