[Q] SGS using Hybrid final - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ladies & gentleman,
you might know the awesome ROM Hybrid 5.0?!
I flashed it and it works great, well done.
Unfortunately there are two things i would like to ask. (i would have asked in the dev, but haven't the 10 necessary posts...)
1. Swype is great and if you are used to use it you don't want to miss it. There is no possibility to set up german language for using swype. The whole ROM is german, but swype isn't.
--> is there any possibility to install a german pack or sth. like this?
2. The phonebook data is still saved with Kies (.spb data). Usually i would connect to Kies and save the contacts on the phone, but my pc doesn't want to connect to the phone. Updating the driver was successfull, but doesn't solve the problem.
--> is there any possibility to get the data to the phone?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi there,
for your first problem you have to install swype's german pack but I'm sorry to tell you that there is no such a thing yet, maybe with their new version beta 3.5, who knows!
but I think I have a solution for you, try Touch Pal Keyboard, it has swype capabilities rivaling that of swype and much much more options that it makes you addicted to it!
your second problem -looooooool- if you wanted to be able to use samsung kies and AllShare and kies air and all that nice programms from samsung, you shouldn't have rooted your phone and installed Hybrid 5, shouldv'e sstayed on stock rom which is in my opinion the best rom for SGS (Reliable, Fast and NO POWER Drain Problems).
god luck anyways.

Oh by the way, you should check this thread for your first question.

and copy you cantacts to the phone and let the contacts application import them

[Q] Arabic language support in Galaxy Tab

Hi
I have T-Mobile Galaxy Tab. Is there any way to make it support Arabic language?
THANX....
Yes just flash the middle eastern rom. either the jpjm4 or the jpjm5.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I'm also looking for Arabic support. Mine is Galaxy Tab with stock rom
PDA : P1000ZHJK1
PHONE : P1000ZHJJ1
CSC : P1000ZZHJJ3
Is it ok if I flash an older ROM like P1000OJPJJ1 ? I heard that the newer rom has protected bootloader.
Thanks.
But then you can use the chainfire program to remove the bootloader files.
Use this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933028&highlight=jpjm4
It’s fast and has no bootloader issues. The jpjm5 doesn't seem to have anything better really. Like you I am cautious about upgrading. I bought my tab in November and I used to change my rom like every dew days to try different things but since I installed the jpjm4 from @galaxer, I didn't change it because it’s super fast and everything works perfectly in it. Also have great Arabic fonts. I also flashed this kernel with it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924654
It works great and extends my battery life to at least 2 days, but this is optional you don't need to do this.
Another option you have is to flash the beta CM7 gingerbread (Android 2.3), it supports Arabic, but it has tons of issues because its beta. I don't recommend it to be your main working rom, you can flash it to play with and check it out.
I hope this helps
That is a freakin' awesome post!
Thank you very much I will try to flash the JPJM4 today.

I am on the same ROM AND Kernel the only thing i dont like about this ROM (And it is not an issue, really!) but i just dont like the few white lines that flashes when you boot your TAB. And regarding the kernel it doesn't enhance your battery performance unless you under-clock your CPU and you dont need that kernel just to do that, you can always get SetCPU and underclock. This kernel is for over clocking to 1.4Ghz and it does eat-up your battery EVEN though using SetCPU i have set the maximum to 1.4Ghz and minimum to 600Mhz
Just to let you know
Thanks every body
I install the rom mention above but i got two problmes
1- no market app in it. "easy i will find one"
2- i cant receive file through Bluetooth ??!! " I want solution for it if any one can?"
Yesterday i found Orange Rom which support Arabic but i couldn't change the arabic font ?!?!
My bluetooth and market arw working fine anare you sure you flashed everything correctly?
Regarding these lines in the begenning, I saw them in many other kernels before, they used to bather me too, but I dont care anymore . It lasts for like half a second and goes away. Also, this kernel allows you to change the battery voltage which is not an option with any kernel.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
After you flash the middle eastern rom flash the overcome kernal (2.01) and the ugly lines will go away and you will have your language.
Thanks Rangercabtain I wiped to factory rest then I flash overcome kernal (2.01)
now every thing OK
THANX every body

[Q] Ad-hoC support for xwjvb/ market apps backup

Hi everybody, im now on darky's rom 9.5 but planning to try the newly released gingerbrad rom for galaxy s to see how this one's working and stuff, but i really really need some good ad-hoc support, and it's the only reason im not trying it yet, so is there any ways to get ad-hoc enabled for this device and the new rom? i also need some security like WEP or something for it, so....?
BY THE WAY:
the rom im planning to try is:
pda: xwjvb
modem:xxjvk
csc:neejv3
_____________________________________________________________________
the other thing ive been wondering is: can i somehows backup my market apps, in a way that i can still be able to update them on market without having to reinstall them? cuz its a very hard thing you know.... lol

[Q] Best option?

Hello to anyone reading this your time is greatly appreciated.
I have been trolling forums for a couple of days now and am not sure which process may help me out of my situation the best. I am new to android and recently used a one click Samsung s program to root my phone. It worked fine until after I uninstalled some stock apps and ran a cleaning app. I began getting the Sorry! The application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly when I would try to change the voice ringtone and many apps followed suit when I would try to use them.
I came to the conclusion that a factory reset may solve my problem. It only made it worse. I can no longer download apps; kies, media player and my pc do not recognize the phone, kies won't update, the android market has a different theme, and most things I try to do on the phone I get the Sorry! message.
I did not flash my ROM because I did not learn about it until after the restore.
My question is what has the highest probability of making my phone work properly again, flashing the ROM (I have been looking at a Darky's custom ROM), downloading an newer firmware version ( I currently have 2.2 FROYO), or is there another way to fix the issues that I just have not come across yet?
I appreciate any pointers or advice and once again thank you for taking the time to review this post.
I would have to say your best option right now is to switch over to CyanogenMod 7.
Since you are still on froyo the installation is dead simple now thanks to codeworkx's efforts and atinm's nightly updates are knocking off the last few open issues like 9 pins. Plus great kernel makers and an experienced user base means that the community is active and high spirited.
Come to the CM7 thread in the dev forum, read the first post and the troubleshooting post (also on the first page) to get all the instructions and to see a video that makes very clear why cm7 is the gold standard of android ROMs.

[Q] T-Mobile Galaxy Tab - Few Questions

Hi guys, just this week I got a new Galaxy Tab from T-Mobile, so far so good, but I have a few questions about it.
1-) This is my first time using Android, is there a better version or ROM for this particular tab (or another that is fully compatible) which I should flash into it which is better or gives me more functionality than the default Android installation that T-Mobile puts on it?
2-) How are upgrades of Android OS obtained? I heard 3.0 is out, any ideas if Samsung or T-Mobile will make it available on these devices?
3-) Can "Line2" be used with it? I noticed when I'm connected to Wi-Fi at home Line2 works, but when I'm connected to 3G it wont work.
4-) Is it easy to install Themes on the Galaxy Tab, any tutorials?
5-) Any specific tricks/tweaks or apps, that are a must have for Galaxy Tab owners?
Thanks in advance!

I also just got my SGT T-mobile. What is the model number of your tablet? What is the Baseband version of your tablet? Have you rooted yours?
Mine's model is SGH-T849, Baseband T849UVJJB, and yes, I downloaded a program from this board which supposedly roots it, after installing and running the commands it said it had successfully rooted my device, now how do I know if it is really rooted?
Also what's the Baseband? lol sorry but I'm lost, this is my first ever tablet and also first ever Android OS device.

We both have the same model and baseband. I'm not sure what baseband is. You can check to see if your tablet is rooted by going to Applications and look around to see if you can find a Superuser icon.
If it's rooted, I guess your next step is to find a custom ROM and flash it.
Do you remember what you used to root your tablet? Was it SuperOneClick?
Yes, it was the SuperOneClick one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
Baseband is the modem you have. The modem controls the phone, wirelass data, wifi, and bluetooth. Yours is JJB.

Well, I'm not an expert but here is my experience:
1. You should flash the new Overcome experience Hermes:
http://overcome.mimzo.com/
There is also the unofficial cyanogenmod beta, but as you said the overcome is fully compatible and it will not change the feel of the Tab, just adds to the functionality.
2. The updates are two types:
# Official, these are over the air and you will find notifications in the notification area to tell you that there is a new update, or may be through kies for Samsung.
# Unofficial, which is basically flashing other ROMs whether official or custom.
# As for Android 3.0 (which is called honeycomb), it is not officially coming to the Tab. May be after the 3.2 announced a couple of days ago, but I still don't think so. Still, you might want to follow this thread as there are trials to get it fully working on the Tab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122959
3. I don't have any idea about this, as I got mine used and then I rooted and flashed it the day I got it.
4. Of course there are themes for the Android. This Overcome I was telling you about has a Gold theme. There are a lot of ways to get themes on the Tab. I myself use different home launchers with different themes. You don't need to flash anything if you are just looking to change the looks of your device. Check this out and let me know if you like it:
Go Launcher EX https://market.android.com/details?id=com.gau.go.launcherex&feature=search_result
There are a lot other but this is my favorite. You can even change the fonts of the display.
5. The most common used tips and tweaks that you should use is over-clocking/ under-volting which gives you more speed and less battery drainage.
As for the apps, these are my favorites:
Tango, Photfunia, ezPDF reader, Movies (or IMDB), Springpad (or Catch), File Expert, Go Launcher, Go weather, Google Goggles, Google Shopper, Just reader, Splashtop, Plex, GrooveIP. I guess there are more on my device but these are the ones that I found more functional and fun to use.
Hope this helps...
Thanks rangercaptain,
Hey ahmadshawki, thanks so much, I will check out all of your suggestions, does overcome comes with Gingerbread?
Yes it does.

Any 2.2 rom is froyo (frozen yogurt).
Any 2.3 rom is gingerbread.
You can have either "flavor". They are both in the development section. Both are highly recommended.
Hi guys,
I've been visiting this forum for more than 6 months now, but I think this is my first post. I have a T-Mobile SGH-T849 GT-P1000.
Last year I unlocked it and changed it to a Gingerbread Euro. Below is the current setup:
Firmware version 2.3.3
Baseband version P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
Tab has been working fine, with the exception of:
- often does not remember wi-fi hotspots automatically, need to switch off/on wi-fi to do this
- 3G & phone works erratically. I don't use it as a phone, but those times that I tried I noticed the phone would loose connectivity to the mobile network and needed a reboot in order to fix it.
I'd like to upgrade it to Ginger 2.3.6, but which rom should I use? I checked on the forum, but I'm not sure if I should use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380595&page=3
or any other.
Is my modem correct or should I use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902323&page=4
to install JL5 modem?
Sorry for the noob questions.
I have a galaxy tab 7+ sgh-t869 I need to chance my build prop in order to play order and chaos online it doesn't support operating system I have no idea how to chance it or what to change it to please help thanks

tesco galaxy mini

Hello folks
Im enjoying my Gs3 lately but my step daughter isnt enjoying her galaxy mini so i swapped my ported wave 1 and shes loving it lol anyway i now have this galaxy mini can i update the software by porting the phone or does it need to be unlocked from tesco first? its asking for a network lock control key? i can dismiss as there is an option to dismiss and play about with the phone its currently android version 2.3.5 build number "GINGERBREAD ,XWKS7" im in ireland thanks
there's no need to unlock network or bootloader. as you're already on gingerbread, just flash cwm with odin and then pick your poison (rom) you can find all tutorials and guides somewhere around without any problems, just don't ever use rom manager, it tends to brick galaxy mini when you flash cwm with it.

you're welcome, i use cyanogenmod 10.1 as a daily driver, it's good for me. drains battery quite quick, but other than that it's almost perfect please don't start "best rom, recommend a rom" threads, as they're not allowed and are getting closed

i have cyanogenmod 7 on the mini now but do i need 10.1 to have google playstore? i want to get some apps etc
edit update
OK i have to do this "Optional: Place any supplemental packages (eg Google Apps or kernel) .zip file(s) on the root of the SD card."
which over looked in the install guide so here goes the 10.1 attempt lol
oh my brain lol i had cm-7 flashed on the samsung mini and was working away fine but no google play store
and only android keyboard so i realised i needed other zip files to have other features so i found these tass-recovery-cwm.tar
cm-7-20130201-NIGHTLY-tass.zip
Samsung_Keyboard_CM7_En-It-Es-Pt.zip
Trans-Soft-Buttons-Nightly-08192012.zip
gapps-gb-20130109-signed.zip
when i reflashed the phone etc the phone firstly ended up with no keyboard despite having the android keyboard selected when i go into language and keyboard settings it backs up to the main menu so i tried again and now its stuck in some kind of boot loop.
ive put this stock rom (MJKT3_annson08) on now and it seems fine but can anyone advise whats happened with my cm-7 setup which was fine the first time but as i said i only had android keyboard and no play store etc the fix seemes easy but its not working for me thanks
i guess that the keyboard you flashed was faulty, and to have play store and such you need to flash gapps_gb package instead of samsung keyboard, try downloading swype
