[Q] UI language options (Locale) - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Could some of you who own the RAZR i be so kind to check for me in which of the known firmware versions it is possible to choose "Chinese" as system locale/language? (the two items at the bottom of the list on the attached picture)
I already know that Retail.en.EU doesn't include it.
Currently the RAZR i I want to update with JB has a version of Orange.en.GB installed, but I am starting to wonder if it's actually got a “regular” firmware version.

This app may help

Thank you for your support!
I've just tried this app. However, on my RAZR i it only accomplishes half the job. If I use it to switch to a language that's not in the phone's original list of 18, then apps that include that chosen language will show in that language, but Android itself will be in English.

6. Done.
Other than the other languages, what's the point when we have 2.1 already o.o
True but some people like the phone to support their own languages.
Oh I see just wondering how it would be useful. Thanks for clarifying!
correct bidi support?
Does this rom supports BIDI? meaning, if you write in arabic/hebrew (ofcourse when installing the corresponding fonts) and then adding numbers to the line, will the line be aligned to the right, the numbers will appear correctly and not opposite (as it does in today's roms?)
Rami
Full mentioned languages support i.e. no need to add anything to it.
Why not purchase an already localized phone or the international version to begin with? No offense meant. Just curious.
There is no localised version of this phone as of yet. Just of the I9000. And that even wasn't officially released yet.
so if I understood correctly, the bidi support is working ok ?
is it possible to incorporate the corresponding bidi support into bionix's Rom?

Below files if get signed and flashed to Eclair 2.1, can make it support above mentioned languages. This just a support in form of reading text and numbers correct way but with no language keyboard support.
libskia.so (from System/Lib)

It is not always possible I am now in the US so I have to buy phone from here to have 3G support and also warranty on the device but I still need arabic support
This is one of the things I like about the iPhone is that it uses the same rom (including all languages that are supported) no matter where you buy it from.

I'm not sure if this is going to work, I did take these file, zip them, sign zipped file, flash it and then the phone stock on Vibrant logo.
I wish it would work, maybe I have done something wrong.
For some reason it didn't work for me. After restoring is completed and the phone is starting up I only hear the sound and see the Vibrant logo. After 10 minutes of waiting I just took off the battery. Tried the "factory reset" but it haven't changed anything. What should I do?
If the phone does not boot up then flash Vibrant Stock Kernel as mentioned.
Any update about fixing the GPS?

[APP] NexusLight - Change ROM for you

Hello,
Here is developed a small software who work on Windows called NexusLight, which allows you to create a ROM for your needs from the flash.
He was appointed NexusLight because I have only tested on the Nexus, but it should work with all phones / roms if the signature verification is disabled in the recovery.
This is actually an adaptation of the software GaospLight (frandroid forum) I had created for the Galaxy's first name.
It allows you to remove applications from the ROM but also to add.
The software interface is in French but in English except for description of the applications (in fact it is the language depending on the language of the OS)
Moreover a video presentation is often better than a thousand words I have made a video where you see the software in operation:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/eNXXEGTUnQA
Download Link
The program will automatically update itself if a higher version available.
Warning: Some antivirus software can detect as malware.
But it is totally wrong is due to the UPX compression when compiling software.

NB: I can't post un dev' forum because i'm a new member

You don't have to actually unzip the package. Just open it and add/remove apks from there. Though I think unzipping and re-zipping should work too
I agree this app is sort of silly since you can easily do the same thing with winrar/7zip. It might be useful if more features were added to it (e.g. change the kernel, change the boot animation, etc), until then...
7zip.
One zip to rule them all.

[!!!] Droid RAZR & Droid 4 possibly spied by MOTO (system process "qe")

this is NOT Carrier IQ!
Hi,
most of you should know the spy tool named Carrier IQ...
Now (told by a reliable german IT news portal) it seems that Motorola uses some similar software on boot of Droid RAZR and Droid 4! The system process is called "qe" and fires on boot... It's used to collect MD5 hashes of the system folder to check changes like new ROMs or if the phone is rooted!
Here's the news link:

This DroidForum post by Hashcode is the source of the news articles mentioned above. All of the news articles I could google were in German, and Google translate is more pitiful than useful. Go to the source, especially if English is more useful to you than German.
Executive summary: "qe" is started by init process and catalogs differences between your system and standard ROM. Hashcode's stock ICS leak disables this, so obviously it can be disabled (apparently by removing it from system init scripting).
I'd like to see some guidance on how to disable QE on a stock-but-rooted phone running .219. I suppose I could look into it myself.

[SOLVED] Using Google Maps with SammyChineseTTS in Traditional Chinese.

Sorry if this issue is not important to you^^
-------------------------------
Is it possible to use Google Maps with Samsung Chinese TTS when Traditional Chinese is chosen?
-------------------------------
I'm using Google Maps 6.9.0 [Ownhere Mod + World Navigation Activated], and it works!
At the same time, Samsung Chinese TTS also does it job just fine.
But when I try to activate Chinese vocal navigation with Google Maps, it says nothing but a sound effect, ding-ding to be precise.
The only workaround so far is changing Language on the setting panel of Language and Input to Simplified Chinese from Traditional Chinese, which I am using.

[CFW][KK4.4] GomdoLight KitKat Custom Firmware Environment (System Enhancement Pack)

Hi all,
Today, I proudly present GomdoLight KitKat for KOREAN LG G / G2 / G3 / G3A / G3cat6 / Gflex / GK / Gpro / Gpro2 / LTE3 / Vu2 / Vu3 / Gpad7LTE, one of the most widely used (with 20,000+ users approximately) stock-based custom firmware in South Korea.
GomdoLight is more than 3 year old already (first version released on 19th December 2012), and is very mature.
Technically speaking GomdoLight is NOT a complete ROM, but rather a large-scale patch, which modifies official stock firmware to remove all the unnecessary components preloaded by operator/manufacturer, and reorganizes key system parts to 'basic' Android OS with manufacturer's flavor. For some devices GomdoLight's own specialized tool 'GomdoLight Sideloader' can make it possible to install GomdoLight directly over the stock firmware, even without rooting or flashing custom recovery!
GomdoLight is compatible with the following devices (BOLD indicates GomdoLight Sideloader support - no root required)
LG Optimus G: LG-F180S, LG-F180K, LG-F180L ("G")
LG G2: LG-F320S, LG-F320K, LG-F320L ("G2")
LG G3: LG-F400S, LG-F400K, LG-F400L ("G3")
LG G3A: LG-F410S ("G3A")
LG G3 Cat.6: LG-F460S, LG-F460K, LG-F460L ("G3")
LG G Flex: LG-F340S, LG-F340K, LG-F340L ("Gflex")
LG GK: LG-F220K ("GK")
LG G Pro: LG-F240S, LG-F240K, LG-F240L ("Gpro")
LG G Pro 2: LG-F350S, LG-F350K, LG-F350L ("Gpro2")
LG Gx: LG-F310L, LG-F310LR ("Gx")
LG Optimus LTE3: LG-F260S ("LTE3")
LG Optimus Vu2: LG-F200S, LG-F200K, LG-F200L ("Vu2")
LG Vu 3: LG-F300S, LG-F300K, LG-F300L ("Vu3")
LG G Pad 7.0 LTE: LG-V410 ("Gpad7LTE")
A very thorough and extensive (probably, the most extensive on entire xda) manual is provided at the download page, which contains literally everything you need to know to install GomdoLight. FAILURE TO READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE INSTALLING WILL ALWAYS LEAD TO VARIOUS UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Needless to say, I WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THIS DOCUMENT.
Due to xda forum's limits (in functionality) I am posting a link to the separate (external) DOWNLOAD PAGE. There is no way I can link to each section in the document in xda posts, since xda does not support HTML tag. However some portions of the document are also introduced here.

I'm not sure yet, but it may not be necessary. Because gomdolight is a large-scale patch mainly focusing on script-driven features, just three of system apks are overwritten:
- /system/framework/framework-res.apk
- /system/priv-app/LGSystemUI.apk
- /system/priv-app/LGCameraApp.apk
Camera should be compatible for all variants, and only the FRAMEWORK RESOURCE and the SYSTEM UI might have compatibility issue.
You can first take a Nandroid backup, and try installing GomdoLight all the way to the end over your stock firmware, and see if it boots (and operates without crashes)
For model selection just choose LG-F340K.
1) If it works well: CONGRATULATIONS! You have fully-working GomdoLight.
2) If it fails: Restore Nandroid, and reinstall GomdoLight. However this time choose the 4TH option for battery percentage indicator. (Do not change) This options leaves both framework-res and SystemUI unchanged, so it will work 100%.

do they CONSISTENTLY force close by certain actions? or just randomly?
I'm downloading now and will test it for the D95920s firmware. T-Mobile D959 on the latest KitKat 4.4.2 D95920s. Will report back later. I need my phone till at least 4pm central time so I can reach my son but I'll flash after that.
This intrigues me. Sprint supported? I don't feel like dealing with force closes mentioned in previous post in different variant.

good luck. if it crashes revert to stock via nandroid backup and reinstall gomdolight, this time choosing the 4th option (do not overwrite the status bar) with battery percentage indicator.

probably. the script set is practically compatible with all current LGE devices with JB or KK. only few apks should be troublesome.
if not sure, choose not to change the status bar during installation. then it will not overwrite both framework-res and systemui.

Don't you see messages like 'GomdoLight: System starting up'?
You usually don't see visible differences after installing GomdoLight, especially on non-Korean firmware, since it does not know what apps to debloat. You would have to debloat the system yourself. However its extensive startup script set provides very unique and useful functions. These functions are explained in the simplified user manual that is automatically displayed after installing. If you did not see the manual opening, and if you do not see the startup messages either, probably something is wrong.

I seen all the startups and everything. Gomdo warning of superuser, a major lag on my phone for abot 3-5 minutes of lag. It only uninstalled vutalj. I honestly havent noticed anything special. I even tried it with that status bar selection and it went through fine.

gomdolight's optimizations are not much visually noticable, without drastic changes. if you expect a whole new experience this is not your type of rom.
or, you could install another stock-based rom that will bring significant changes, and install gomdolight over it (without status bar selection) to further aid with its performance.
think gomdolight as a special tool to streamline and 'properly' reorganize the stock firmware (or, stock-based roms). changes are not noticable at first sight, but they surely benefit the user somehow in the long run, and give you better control and (sometimes) superior disaster handling capabilities.
anyway, thank you for letting me know that selecting LGU+ model increases compatibility with non-Korean firmwares.
