Hi,
Since finnish language is not selectable in a stock Razr I XT890 phone, I'd like to know if there are any chances to add the language afterwards?
I haven't bought the phone yet and the language option in quite important feature. Sadly, Razr I is not sold here as Defy was, and it has finnish language.
Otherwise I have to look other phones, maybe Sony Xperia V is quite identical (only with weaker battery).
Unfortunately even More Locale has no Finnish language to choose. Maybe some nordic version of stock rom has it but CEE doesn't have.
Motorola Razr I XT890 was never sold in nordic countries, so there is naturally no rom for us.
But I was thinking if it is possible to modify the stock rom somehow.
The Android 4.x is certainly translated to nordic languages. I have finnish even in my Defy CM9 4.0.4 (albeit there are some minor places left untranslated). And some manufacturer provides even stock nordic-roms like Samsung and Sony.
How are the languages handled in e.g. Android 4.0.4? I was wondering, if I could copy some hidden language file from my Defy and paste it to Razr I.
Right, here is full list of available roms but no Nordic one. I don't think You can port language to stock rom. Only custom rom can have additional language. Try to ask Omar about his custom rom, maybe he can help.
Thanks, it is probably the best to forget Razr I and select an Android phone with a stock nordic-rom.
It is a shame though, Razr I has many interesting features other than language: Good battery life, display & frame size and powerfull. And the price was reasonable.
There is one more chance, if we got update to 4.2 or 4.4 maybe Motorola release more roms like it was with Defy+. When it was on 2,3,4 there was no rt.eu but when thet updated Defy+ to 2.3.6 they released rt.eu rom.
I would not count on it. Motorola has never been a significant phone manufacturer in Finland (probably same in the whole nordic) and why should it put efforts to minor selling areas.
Defy(+) were available via one network operator here but they didn't continue to sell Motorola.
The finnish language was not included in Defy:s eu-rom, but in nordic-rom. Eu-rom has only the center- and south-Europe languages, same as in Razr I model.

I know. It was just example based on my phones. First Motorola didn't released Defy+ in my area but only in Germany, England and somewhere else but with update to 2.3.6 they released in Slavic counties.
I had still one question on my mind: Is it possible to override app languages to different than the Android system language?
Yes, as I remember there was Xposed module to do that.
It's called AppSettings

I've searched for this, but can't find it anywhere.
I have this Galaxy Note, absolutely great device, but as my boss is a cheapskate I got a version from Poland, including the branding of some provider there. So besides getting this friggin annoying bootscreen, and the phone starting in Polish, I also have to install the Polish firmware updates.
This is the version I can update to: pda:lc1 / phone:lb2 / csc:lb1 (pls)
But I have been holding it of as I want to get the NL version. Only now ICS seems to have been released and while I'll probably go to a vanilla version, I would still like to know if it's possible to change from a Polish version to a Dutch version.
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

i have the same model. LC1 is still one of the latest revisions of gingerbread.
ICS is not officially available for any version of the note yet aside from the chinese rip off models (if it did launch, im sure you'll see 20 odd threads about it). the ones available now are just leaks from samsung and custom ROMs.
you can flash to a multiCSC official rom and change the csc code if you want, otherwise, you can just flash ICS stunner, AOKP, AOSP, CM9, etc.
hello I have this model the razr xt890 for the past three days, I wanted to update it with jelly beans because I know that came out for some time now, but going in the system update settings tells me that the phone is already updated, but even if it is still to ics.
how do I update it?
The version of the system is this: 81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB
Ps I'm Italian and I live in Italy but I get the phone from the UK, taken with expansys
same case here, purchased razr i from expansys in hungary. we have to be patient, JB update for UK version will be rolled out in the coming days. no one knows why motorola is late with GB OTA when it's long out for other regions. i hope some improvent will be included compared to FR, EU, BR roms, but it has a slim chance to actually happen.

The system language as no french in possible choice and android phone is my first one, as possible to download and instal the french one or a tric for that i like this new phone but i'm french quebecois and is very not aisy to understand all the setting possibility.
Thank you.
I've noticed that we have a few Chinese users here and I was wondering what stock rom the phone has since we don't have a stock Chinese firmware, nor a stock firmware with even the Chinese language. Do ya'll get them with CM from the carrier over there? or do ya'll have a different stock than whats available here?
Thanks
I'm curious and this has always bugged me.

I dont think we have stock Chinese firmware since this phone is mainly focused on only some markets. even in my country (Vietnam), we're neighborhood of China but I still must buy an ATT one which is bought by shipping from US
Correct me if I'm wrong but if we have, more choices are better

That sucks. I was, and still am, hoping that perhaps there's another stock firmware floating around somewhere. Later in its life the Defy started getting more and more Chinese users and firmwares, some of which were done in a way that it enabled us to flash custom roms if we screwed up and took an OTA that blocked the hacks. The first Atrix even had a leaked Chinese ICS even though it was never officially supposed to be past Gingerbread. With the Chinese and Asian users here, I was hoping an Asian carrier might have released or is using a different stock firmware than what we already have....maybe that's not the case and they're all just importing like you.
I am Chinese ,but I like to use a English firmware .it can help to improve my English skill .

If that is the case. When you buy a Chinese Atrix HD do you get it with a Chinese firmware or did you had to flash an US firmware?

if the phone is popular in China , the storekeeper will hire someone to develop the Chinese package so that we can get the Chinese interface .
MB886 is popular ,so it has the Chinese package at first ,after unclock the bootloader , they also translate other rom into Chinese,like slim,beanstalk and so on .
if the phone has Chinese interface ,it can sells in higher price .
I used to bought a moto XT881, it is very cheap because no Chinese interface .
Ohhh i see. Thanks for sharing. So in other words the phone do get stock version same as ours.
Hello everyone I live in th u.s. and use my a71 on att. I bought my phone at rent a center and it has buc1 firmware and the csc is TTT (Trinidad and tobago). I would like to install a custom rom because I recently rooted and the smartview feature which I use often isn't working right and none of the fixes are either. My question is this: which firmware should I install to get a clean slate and possibly try a custom rom? Not sure why a phone in the US was sold with Trinidad firmware. I would prefer not to flash the stock ttt firmware if possible is there a better option? Thanks guys
hi friend, I have been almost in same situation (different country) and i would like to share with you my experience maybe it will help if you are still looking. some options / features included in the ROM / OS depend on where the device was sold or aimed to be sold initially by Samsung, for example 2 phones same model, same tech specs, same android version, if one is old in Europe with a certain firmware, it may not have same all options / features as same one sold in US or elsewhere .... i bought a device sold initially in Italy and couldn't find samsung pay or fm radio app in it (even that device does support it from hardware side) and not possible to install it as third-partie app either in anyway possible, and it didnt show up even with a custom ROM .... so i did some dig in and found THAILAND firmware for same android version have it by default + others things i was looking for such as native call recording .... basically long story short, as longer you already rooted it, we can forget about warranty, which should gives you more freedom to install wharever you want ... a custom rom is specially to enhance perf by removing some apps and adding some more features that arents includeed in stock firmware ... but if you are okay with basic stock firmware and all its apps and contenents you don't have to install ncessarry a custom rom ... you can juts look for a specific firmware REGION/COUNTRY that have the option you are looking for and go fo it, like i did from Italy to Thailand (while im living in whole different country of those two), and all will be working fine for you ^^
