[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.

[Question] XXKB3 support Chinese?

I can't find where is the XXKB3 in Samfirmware.com. Is is a custom ROM? I am from Hong Kong and I am wondering if the FW XXKB3 support Chinese.
Also, I would like to ask, is that really necessary to flash XXKB3 ROM in order to use some theme that claimed to be XXKB3 ONLY as an requirement. How about directly use the theme as I am now using Asian ROM DDKB2?

xxkb3 is a stock european rom,doesnt support chinese.yes,u can probably give the themes a try

If you install DioPen Chinese IME, it will work. I have this firmware and DioPen Chinese IME installed. It works perfectly.

or you flash I9003ZTKC1_ZZTKC1, taiwanese FW with chinese/english support

Do you guys have recording function for phone conversation in the stock phone application. I heard chinese rom have those features built in to the stock rom.

i know im late but i figured i owe an answer... nope, not available in stock phone app (tried altogether 3 chinese/taiwan/HK roms and none had the feature)

You can still read chinese or 'write' chinese with the European ROM. Only thing missing is the chinese interface (menu, etc) which ain't a big deal tbh.

I have the same problem, I am running a european stock rom, I can read, type chinese, but for sms, other people can not receive chinese character, it all become square or others symbol...

that does NOT stem from your phone but from the receivers phone. if they dont have chinese support, it shows as squares, happens with ALL phones and OS's.

One small questions. In SamMobile the latest FW is the S5570XIKT1, but in XDA the latest link is for the XWKTN. What FW should I use?

That is the latest firmware and it's Italian, u can use that or try maybe Poland's or Germany's firmware since those are your neighboring countries..don't think it matters..just give the latest a try.

[Q] Today's Firmware Update for TGY (Hong Kong) Back to 4.1.1?

The I9305 firmware update for the TGY (Hong Kong) region just came out...so I updated...only to find it is 4.1.1 still...but all other I9305 and I9300 updates are going to 4.1.2 ... why did Hong Kong get 4.1.1 again? Any ideas why this happens?

it's a carrier thing. they were working on a 4.1.1 base not a 4.1.2 base.. just means they're slow or there's something in 4.1.2 they didn't like.

random.. its not a typo is it? well the changelig is completely different too so i wouldn't be surprised. question is, does it have the premium suite features?

That's just the thing any firmware release in Hong Kong is not linked to a specific carrier by law. However, the I9305 is a little different because it has LTE and only one provider in Hong Kong, 中国移动 has LTE so they are the only who carry the phone...but still unbranded. How do I check if it has the premium suite? Since it is 4.1.1 I cannot see this being possible? Is there any other I9305 4.1.2 stock release capable of Chinese localization? Thanks!

Innis,
Your information "only one provider in Hong Kong, 中国移动 has LTE" is WRONG.
Most provider in Hong Kong have LTE. You can only say that the update release from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 will be done by region one by one but not all at the same time. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Cowboy, you are right...there are 5 providers in HK that have LTE... when I visited HK from China I was told only 中国移动 had it because that is what I have in China. My mistake. The firmware you list from SamMobile is incorrect...I have already tried contacting SamMobile about their error. If you install that firmware listed it will still say 4.1.1 as does the new release this morning. Taiwan and China also got the 4.1.1 update with their I9300. I guess the only option is the Singapore release to get 4.1.2 with Chinese localization at this point...IF that gets released to 4.1.2.

I also got the same thing with my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 which I bought from ebay and it has the Hong Kong version (Baseband version I9305ZHALI2 & Build number I9305ZHBLL3) (Unrooted) with android 4.1.1 and when I connected my s3 I9305 to my laptop through the Samsung Kies it told me there is new update for my phone's frimware so I did that and every thing was fine but when I checked my phone the version is still 4.1.1 so I don't know what does that mean ?

Still not sure myself. But I know HK got 4.1.1 originally a month after everyone else...so that means we should get 4.1.2 in February!!

Yeah its only a minor firmware update (16.--mb) to increase stability on 4.1.1, not a major update like 4.1.2. That should come pretty soon.

Yeah, there is 4.1.2 for other countries(I just saw that on SamMobile.
It wrote that Hong Kong has already had 4.1.2 , I'm sure it's a typing mistake.
Take a look at my attachment to see what I've seen.

Sammobile has been wrong about 4.1.2 since December (I have emailed them about this) ... all other repository Samsung sites list is as 4.1.1 NOT 4.1.2. So far no TGY firmwares on any Samsung device has been 4.1.2. I REALLY want 4.1.2 with Chinese localization and TGY is the only way! Except maybe MM1 (Singapore) but their localization is a little different than with Mainland China... hopefully TGY goes 4.1.2 soon... if you look at the most updated firmwares for I9305... you will see that TGY is updated more frequently than others...

Did anyone get the update to 4.1.2 for the TGY ???

No 4.1.2 TGY on any Samsung device yet. But there is hope... Hong Kong, China and Taiwan use the same build... and all are on 4.1.1 but yesterday Taiwan got 4.1.2 for the I9300. So hopefully it will be soon!

Dear Colleague,
Other than the stock rom, you may consider to have the custom rom by WanamLite XXBLL5 V1.1 of which have
+Enabled all supported languages
+Multi CSC (+124)
and they should be closed to TGY

Just plugged in my I9300 into Kies and there was a prompt:
Current firmware version : PDA:LL1 / PHONE:LJ2 / CSC:LL1 (TGY)
Latest firmware version : PDA:MA1 / PHONE:LLA / CSC:MA1 (TGY)
Hope this is it!
