[Q] Switching Galaxy S Vibrant (Canada) to Asian rom, is it safe?

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] Permanent Locale Change re 2.3

Hi folks. I've searched the forum and can't find anything that specifically addresses this particular issue.
I bought my SGS I9000 unlocked in Egypt (yes, I was recently evacuated) with 2.1 and have updated via KIES to 2.2. My phone is rooted and has the Arabic firmware.
My currently installed versions are:
PDA: I9000JPJPG
Phone: I9000JXJPE
CSC: I9000JPJPF
I don't want the Arabic Firmware and want to permanently change to a US firmware BEFORE 2.3 is released and I want to retain the KIES upgrade capability. My question is this: How do I change the permanent location of my phone so all future KIES upgrades will be automatic? Thanks.

Click to collapse
Just curious, why do you want to retain KIEs upgrade capability in the first place?

Well basically I jusy want to retain my apps (I know about and have AppBrain) and I want the phone to be as though it was bought here.

[Q] need to flash stock rom for S5830L

I have galaxy Ace S5830L and I want to have arabic support for it, so could I flash it using a stock rom for S5830I for arabic region ?? or shoud I do something else ?? it is on 2.2.1 right now.

You can't.. or atleast shoudn't install a ROM for S5830i when your phone is S5830L ... S5830i has different hardware from S5830L, so its most likely to get bricked.
I can't believe there is still people with froyo on their ace
Install the latest version of gingerbread for S5830L = here -> http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-S5830L&r=-1#modelsa
You can download any of them, could be according to your country or the latest one which is S5830LUBKPL
Then root your galaxy ace and try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083688
I have never tried it, but looks like works for people.

it's not my phone , I have GS2 with ICS on it but it's my friend phone and he needs all the phone to be in arabic not just the browser,, I mean all the menus if that is possible and thnx alot for your response

Let me ask you something first...
Why does he have a GT-S5830L ? It's a latin american phone... Unless he is latin american and knows arabic? Make sure its an L and not an i
He could download S5830JPKP9 (2.3.3) Which is for Iraq...
Although Is not the latest versions, im sure it supports arabic language, might be there are other ROMs that support it but can't be sure.
When he goes to Settings > About Phone
What does it say in "Baseband Version" ?

Sorry it took me too long to replay, it's S5830L yes for latin america, but I tried to flash the one for Iraq as you suggested and everything went perfect and now it supports arabic
Thnx for your answer and help.
And why he has it because we, here in syria, don't have an official htc store. So all the phones are sold by dealers who bring the phones from different places.

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.
