Greetings fellow XDA community members,
I was wondering if a mod/script that changes the blinkfeed selection to multiple regions or countries instead of just one, because I have a friend whom he wants to view both Australian and German blinkfeed, unfortunately, in the way blinkfeed designed originally is to only allow one region or country to be chosen.
I believe some of us are corporate travelers and works overseas all the time and would like to check news on blinkfeed, but also stay in touch and up to date with two or more regions at the same time. i.e. German soccer news & Australian Entertainment and politics news...
The sad parts is I am actually new to Android, so I couldn't help my friend or myself, and my insufficient knowledge of coding hinders my potential to fully utilize this great phone. I could only rely on the great custom roms and kernels that has been put out there by the developers.
It would be great if any developers out there that could shed some light on this.

Thanks truc007, but on your chinese one, can you choose to display all French, German and let's say USA blinkfeed all at once? Does this patch allow you to select multiple blinkfeed sources?

I will check tonight.

Okay I've been having a look, and there's some more newer stuff in this rom but hte language obviously isn't english, (it's 412) so that's me out.
most of the new stuff seems to relate to SKtelecom
Build date for the rom (or most of the files) is 18-20/02/2009 so it's pretty new.
there's a new cab of media panel. R23_SKT_RC2_33262 (operator branded?)
a DAUM mobilepanel cab ???
Camera files are R253, there's a new MMSC "mplayon" - no idea what that is yet, but I suspect it's something to do with WIPI as several files (including DShow) reference it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WIPI
opera is 15969
there's a wondefully titled
NATE melonsync sonyericsson STARWARS cab ???
My PC panel cab
MY Smart (and MYsmart cab)
I've zipped up some of the cabs here.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6TBY76JZ
Not had chance to test them yet, so they may cause you to become Korean, or something... off to bed.
files in that zip are;
FM_Radio_MR1_R20_SKT_32516
Installwizard SE Starwars 090109
MXP R23 SKT RC2-33262
Mypcpanelinstall
Natemelonsync SE starwars
wm6.1ppc dawn opera 15969
There's also a new radio 1.11.25.71 it's in the radio thread.
Update
MXP is in English, cant see anything new on that panel.
Opera doesn't have the slidey zoom.
My guess is it's a koren customized R2
Will have a look when I finish my homeworks (my X icons )
thanks for sharing
you don't need the slider zoom, use the volume keys for zoom !!

you probably don't need any of these cab files for your country's rom.
xperia x1 is exclusive on sktelecom in korea, and i have to say, korea has one of the most ****ed up cellphone market in the whole world. korea might make some nice phones(samsung, lg), but our cellphone service is one of the worst in korea i'll say(****ed up plans that are over priced, although quality is excellent)
all those new panels and new cab files that are in the korean rom is for sktelecom to make money off of it.
daum mobilepanel will connect you to daum.net website and their programs wanting you to use sktelecom's 3g service.
nate melonsync is sktelecom's music service so that sktelecom can sell music through 3g.
mplayon is some wipi based bs program to use sktelecom's 3g service.
mypc and mysmart are for people who doesnt have outlook to manage their contacts and calender in korean.
xperia will be korea's 6th or 7th smartphone korea will ever have.
because of the freedom you have with smartphones, until recent times, korea did not sell any of the smartphone(samsung blackjack came out year after it was launched in the states.)
basically, you don't need any of those files and no need to get curious about it. i intend to delete all those crab too, moment i get my xperia =)
@evank418
Wow - the carriers most surely don't like the concept of one SIM-free device world-wide. I've watched this pernicious bully-boy carrier marketing slowly spread across the globe for about 3 years now.
For example, SE indulged Telstra in Aus for the X1a as 1st pass exclusive retailer - that's not happened before
It's akin to purchasing a motor car and being told you can only buy it from from one retailer under their own unchallengeable conditions.
Thanks for the insights.
to ianl8888
yeah korea has no such thing as sim free. we have 3 cellphone service privider( SK telecom, KTF, LG telecom) and they just recently allowed you to move to other service provider with your phone, but everyone uses different sms program. so basically, you can move to other service provider, but you can only make a phone call (no sms, no video calls, etc).
im not found MY Smart (and MYsmart cab)
Tried all the apps...they suck
Opera has much worse scrolling, could not identify any improvements.
Starwars stuff is obviously providerspecific
a Panel in a very foreign language does not help either
But thanks for the stuff anyway!!
Media Panel have some changes. i Replaced it in my rom.
language is russian. i thing it have libraries for all languages
fards, are you ever gonna release a rom for us to play with??

Do you buy x1 from Korea
If the purchase of Korea, May tried to change rom another rom
Im willing to do anything I possibly can to help in the creation of the ROM. I backed up the original Korean rom I got from mine. Just say the word and I'll do whatever else I can to help. I'm a full fledged supporter of cooked english/korean rom for the X1

Hi spixe1, I say the word PLEASE
I bought the X1 in Korea, flashed to several ROMS already and it works well, beside one Thing. Can you cook a rom in english which works for SMS receiving in KOREA using SK Telecom?

Hi , you all are wise people and we will always expect some minor errors here and their I noticed most of it not meant to be, so the benefits will be for the majority.
this is an encyclopedia thread , it is try and error , and all of our chiefs stated clearly and always ( THE ROM ARE BETA OR EXPREMENTAL ROM ).
We majority understand this.
So please do not eliminate your experiences angels to flow above our souls.
Thank you in advance for reconsidering.

I sooo don't know what that means, but anyway, this thread is a couple months old.
Rats2007: I'm not the one making ROMs. I was asking for someone to make one. Seems you misunderstood. There's a forum out there that contains a link to a working ROM, phone is all in English but works 100% with Korean telecom, + supports korean and english sms. Just do a search, shouldn't be too hard to find. (sorry I can't link you myself, a tad bit busy at the moment)

Check your private messages.
Since last week (when still on stock ROM) my news widget will only show me US based news, sports and details. I have set my location to be automatically determined and request UK news, but I still get US.
Since this started happening I have upgraded to CyanogenMod-5 & it still does the same (I did wipe).
Anyone got any clues, I have no interest in US news ....
Yes. This happening to everybody outside of the US. There are posts about it on the official Nexus help forum. Google have advised that they are looking into it, but no fix ETA or any more info.
Cheers, perhaps they want us to know more about US internal politics ? They might do better the other way around .....
Hi,
After reading this post forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731462
and seeing that alot of people have problems with thier gps signal and this being a possible fix. I am in the process of making a program that will change the standard north-america pool.ntp to other countries/ regions at the moment i have uk and Europe. But i am aware that the galaxy s is a internatiol phone.
So if users could reply to this thread with request's to which ntp servers they want that would be much appreciated the only reason i dont want to add all servers is because they are many countries in the world and i dont really want to add countries like Iceland were people arnt likely to have the galaxy s.
So can you just look at this site w.w.w.pool.ntp.org/en/
and post which ntp.server you would like adding.
I will be releasing the program later today.
Thanks
Dan
just use the top level one pool.ntp.org

Currently the developer's portal is in Chinese, so we are thinking that maybe the developers can authorize us to grab their official versions from Google Play, and we can arrange our editor to keep the update.
Wouldn't it be better if you provide some kind of translation service? we send you the string file, you make the translation and then we send you the translated version to be posted on the Store?

Actually we don't have so many person on this project, so we are not capable of providing this kind of services right now.
But still, I myself can help the developers to check if their translations are correct, and provide my suggestions.
Honestly, even when looking at the Play stores in other languages, I just turn on Google Translator. It works 98% of the time. And I've made purchases elsewhere all while relying on Google Translator.
This is a pretty dumb question, and has zero impact on anything other than a slight annoyance.
My device is a RETLA, so default language was spanish. I've set to english on its first boot from day 0 and have had zero issues at all in terms of language system wide (as expected) after all subsequent updates. One thing though is when I receive OTA's they come in in spanish and do not take system language settings, i.e. the update info page, and all pages threw the update process display in spanish. Are OTA packages language hard-coded? I'm assuming others probably have noticed it, just couldnt seem to find it brought up before.
Again its not a big deal at all, more just wondering if this is the case.
I'm gonna guess that yes, they are hard-coded.
You'd think that the upgrade software would at least check the device's language and then look for the message files in that language from the OTA site. Although not phone/mobile software, this is the procedure I do for some business software I maintain.
Even if we were in the right locale (Latin America for us retla's) not even everyone there speaks Spanish.

I don't think so, RETBR, Brazil, comes with all languages available on AOSP, from Portuguese to various Chinese dialects, if I set english, OTA updates comes with english informations from the update.

Huh that's interesting . I wonder if anyone else in any other software channel has noticed this. Although everyone knows you RETBR users get special treatment , first to get updates, access to beta's , OTA's in the language set in system ...etc etc ?

We aren't special, it's because Motorola is the most selling brand in Brazil, behind only Samsung, it's one of the most populated countries in the world, it's the most important market for Motorola, where the majority Moto users are from.
Besides that, you can always flash a RETBR ROM and receive the soak tests, betas and updates before all other channels, just unlock the bootloader, flash the RETBR ROM and then relock the bootloader.
