[Q] I9000 Languages - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I want to start by saying that this forum has been very helpful to my in customising my GT-I9000, and I want to thank you all for this help. I have had a Galaxy S for about a week and I am really liking the flexibility of this phone. But without your efforts, there would not be near as much flexibility.
So I have a question about language support across different firmwares. It requires a little explanation, so I apologies in advance if it is a bit too much text. I use linux a fair bit, but I am new to Android so I dont know many of the details of the system yet. I am a n00b, however, I want to show that I actually put effort into what I want to do instead of just asking for someone else to do it for me from the beginning.
I would like to have the ability to send SMS in Hebrew from the SGS native messaging software. I find no problem inputting in Hebrew using various Keyboards such as AnySoftKey. However, the sms is received as a series of question marks. I guess it is a lack of character support, probably somewhere between typing the text in Hebrew, and the phone transmitting it across the networks.
I could install a firmware from an Israeli network as they have Hebrew input on their firmware versions. However, these are not very up-to-date and I would rather use a newer firmware (I have JPX with Darky's Gingerbread 6.0 mod, which is very up-to-date ).
I want to take it step by step, so I think I should start with the Keyboard input.
AnySoftKeboard works well for Hebrew input, and the text it makes works in all apps except the Messaging app (although it looks just fine on my side). But Perhaps the Samsung Keyboard would work?
I have looked at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=796854
It describes methods of porting Keyboards from one firmware version to another. This is specific to porting the Eclair keyboard to Froyo.
So I tried to apply this logic to my needs. But I have difficulties knowing which firmwares have Hebrew language input support, yet alone a keyboard that is compatible with JPX. I tried with the keyboard from firmware I9000JHJP8 (only one I am sure has Hebrew support), but the porting following the instructions in the thread did not work. I am sure with some trial an error (and probably lots and lots of error ) I would eventually be able to get it to work.
So before I start trying to get it to work, I would like to know if you think that changing the keyboard would make any difference, or, if the problem lays somewhere else?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey. I hate to bump this but its gone to many pages from the first.
I wont bump again as I guess there may be no answer for this question.
Still Should I bother trying to convert the keyboard as i suggested above?

how difficult is it to make a custom ROM?

Hi,
I am thinking of cooking my own ROM.
All I need to do is mixing two ROMs, nothing fancy.
Here is the situation I am in.
I am in Canada but I use my mother tongue a lot (most of my contacts are not in english).
So, I tried installing the Korean ROM from SKTELCOM.
However, there was a slight problem with the SMS (and possibly MMS but I don't use MMS so I am not sure) and internet/data (3G, Edge, etc, but I don't use data so I don't mind this bit - Wi-Fi is working).
The SK ROM uses a seperate application for SMS and the original MS SMS feature inside the message (where you can find your email accounts as well) is either disabled or removed.
And to use this application, I have to go through changing the formats of all contants I have.
Also, I can't use any SMS notifications that were made for the original SMS features (including the original WM notifications).
I am looking for a way to enable or istalling whatever to get the original SMS feature back.
So my question is,
Would it be possible to mix two ROMs, X1i-eng & SKTELCOM, to get basic phone features from X1i-eng and language and applications from SKTELCOM?
If so, could you help me do it?
I have read the tutorials for ROM cooking etc, but I am a little scared doing it.
If I were to go ahead and do it, should I base the SKTELCOM ROM and try to mix the phone features or should I base the ENG ROM and try to implement language and applications?
Any insights would be helpful.
Thanks.
In your situation, you probably don't need to install the Korean ROM. Since you say that you need your contacts to be displayed which are in Korean, you could just install a Korean font on a WWE(English) ROM. On top of that, if you need to be able to input Korean, you will need the appropriate IME and SIPs. There are CAB installers that will do what I've said. I would search them for you but I'm feeling a bit lazy
Thanks for the reply.
I know about the fonts..
But my main concern was the inputing part.
Where could I find IME and SIP for Korean input?
I've searched using "korean" but nothing much came up..

Hey dahanist, how's that ROM going? I'm in the same situation you are, so I'm hoping maybe you made some progress.

[Q] Dictionary issues with QND MIUI Rom

Hi,
I'm currently using the QND MIUI Rom from this thread on my N1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084726
I think this is a very nice ROM and jbbandos did a good job. But I have the following problem: I don't seem to have any dictionaries for the languages installed. I set my system language to German, but when I type I don't get any suggestions, except the names in my contact list.
Furthermore, no matter what language I choose, I always have a QWERTY keyboard although I'd rather want to have a QWERTZ keyboard.
Am I doing something wrong, or did I miss an important part? Before using this QND MIUI ROM, I used the RoDrIgUeZsTyLe ROM and when choosing the system language I could see below most of the languages "dictionary available", but this is not the case for this ROM.
What can I do?
I would have posted my question in the above mentioned thread, but due to my low post count I'm not allowed to post it there. Ridiculous, but okay....
Many thanks in advance for any help
Someone with the same qwertz problem got this answer.
@tommert38: Thanks for your answer. To workaround the problem I'm currently using the HTC IME keyboard, which is fine.
But I guess the problem is not supposed to exist, at least nobody complained so far in the "main thread". So either nobody needs those keyboard suggestions, or I must have done something wrong or missed an important setting.

[Q] I897UCKF1 problem with samsung keyboard XT9 in email

I flashed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 and I love the increased battery life. But, one problem I've noticed is that when I have the samsung keyboard XT9 selected and when I'm typing in an email for some reason the first character of the word gets dropped. (eg. type "the" it puts in "he"). Sometimes it will do it in my SMS messages but not all the time. Also, if I chose the Android keyboard it doesn't have that problem but then again it doesn't have the XT9 feature. I like the XT9 features and think it must have something to do with that. Has anyone else experience this and/or know how I can fix this?
Thanks, in advance for any help or direction that you can give me.
If I turn off the XT9 predictive text under samsung keyboard then I don't have the problem I checked and it's the 2.3.3 samsung keyboard. But, I like the XT9 predictive text feature and find it odd that it only happens under the email program. Is there a way that I can reinstall this .apk?
Try out this keyboard. Personally, it's one of my favorites.

Thanks, Born but I'm not really looking for another keyboard option. I would like to fix the stock keyboard that I already like and used
I wonder if it has something to do with the mail client? Anyone else have this problem? Maybe I'm asking the wrong question. Is anyone else that has flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127249 (I897UCKF1 Odin-1-Click Gingerbread 2.3.3 w/ Fugu Root) had any problems using the stock samsung keyboard along with the XT9 advance features in the stock email client? Please confirm that it's working for you or not. That will at least help me determine if it's a bad/bug in the ROM or something that I did in flashing it. Thanks, to all who answer!
Custom rom and use samsung keyboard
How to use samsung keyboard on my custom rom ? o_0
HELP ME !>.<
i use ics2 rom
I think that was one of my major problems with KF1 too. That, and my touchscreen sensitivity was really poor.
I too like the Samsung keyboard, and don't like the newer versions though. I think the best version of the Samsung keyboard came out of KH3, or KI2. I've had problems with the newer versions with auto-captitalization not working correctly. I always have to backspace after ending a sentence with a period to get the first letter of the next sentence to capitalize. Also even if I have next word prediction unchecked, it still tries to predict quite often.
Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure it was KH3, because that's the only 2.3.4 that I have.

samsung keyboard russian language

First of all forgive me for being an annoying noob I am, but I've been googleing this matter for 3 days with no luck.
So here is the deal: I've purchased a Chinese (I think) GTab (meaning the default locale was Chinese) here in Russia. There was no problem in switching locale to Russian, all fonts work correctly, all translations are good and so on. The problem is, Samsung keyboard doesn't have a Russian language as an option (despite having a bunch of others), and I would love to use a keyboard dock, which only agrees to work with SK. The interesting thing is, the keyboard dock does have a Russian layout, so I have to presume there is actually a way to install it to Samsung keyboard app.
Can anyone spare any advice?
The best I've managed to find so far was a similar topic for the original Tab, but it only applies to android 2.1 and 2.2 as far as I figured (I did try before assuming)
maybe you should try and contact kallt_kaffe.

[Q] Help with Samsung Keyboard

Hello guys, thanks for reading this and help me. I hope you can point me in the right direction. Here is my situation: I've been maintaining a custom ROM named MasterStock, it basically takes the tweaks and improvements of another's guy ROM (chuckybean) but keeping the styling and apps of the standard stock rom. The goal is to have a nice and quick ROM with the same "skin" that comes from factory.
Now my issue comes with the Samsung keyboard, I manage to include it on my rom, and it works. But the autocomplete function does not work at all. It just does not suggest or corrects any word at all. I cannot understand what Im missing to include in my rom.
Anybody has any clue? Or can think in something I'm probably missing?
Before you reply something, I would like to please avoid messages saying there are better keyboards apps out there, and I know you probably can give me tons of alternatives to replace this keyboard. However my truly intention is to make this one to work, and give the users the ability to have a complete and functional ROM with the style of the stock version.
Many thanks in advance!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think there should be file with content for autocomplete. I can't remember what, and where it is. Probably /data/something. Do research, it is the same on every JB wirh TW I thing, so you can use expirience from SII, SIII users...
