Hi everyone, I'm new here, i did register a while ago but i do not sign in that often, i thought of getting an iPhone 4 but i never liked being constricted to an OS. I liked the Nexus S as it is way better than the iPhone for me.
Anyways i just got a brand new Nexus S but it didn't launch here, I'm living in Dubai and i need to root the Nexus S , well not really but if i didn't ill miss out the:
1.Arabic keyboard and Reading Arabic in websites,
2.I will miss out the market enabler, because here we r limited to the free apps only
*Plus I'm not sure if MMS will work because now its NOT working even with the "ETISALAT" APN settings provided, but the 3G did work.
So my questions are:
1. Do i need to Root ? if YES -which is the best way, and -do i need to backup and -how do i backup ?
2. If i did root will i lose my OTA updates that are coming from Google, if NOT then will they unroot my device if i installed them ?
3. Does anybody know how to enable Arabic and install the best or original Arabic looking keyboard for Nexus S ?

hi Experts,
i tried to find the answer from the forum, took me hours but no answer.That is why I am posting this thread.I want to root my HTC G1.But I don't want to use custom roms.On iphone when I jailbreaked my phone i did not go for another rom ,i used the same that came with it.My question is if I root my android device ,do I really need to install a new rom or I can use the same that came with it but will gain some power of having root.
sincerely,
ml
You don't need to but why not use a rom that has more features than stock.
Thanks for reply.I want to but afraid of make the device too slow.i can still remember when I upgraded ios 3.0.2 to ios4 on my iphone ,it was quiet annoying to use.I just want to root to move my apps to the sd card.
Installing a custom rom, normally, doesn't make your phone goes slow... but it gives it a HUGE boost and add features!!! And Android is not Ios 4...

Thanks now I think there is no way to turn back.Can you or any one please tell me which rom I will go for.Cause My Htc G1 is not T-Mobile version ,it is from Rogers.i know there are a lot of thread about it ,I just need to focus on that rom which is the most stable and will work all functionality of the phone.
So I have a few questions regarding my new toy...
First off no problem rooting and anything else to do with rooting. My 1 main issue is I would like to use a custom ROM and had no issues getting Revolution installed. My main issue is that being a Bell client in Canada, I would like to use my mobile tv app and using a custom rom, i was having issues connecting to the network but had no other issues with any network.
So, can a custom kernal be put on a stock rooted phone? if so, what is the best choice? also what custom rom can i use to ensure that I can use my tv app. I pay for it, thus would like to use it.
next question...is there a list of what stock apps can be removed either via root explorer or terminal? 1 list would be perfect and I can go from there.
any help would be great!
thank you in advance to those that assist?

Can someone please tell me where can I get the Hebrew Samsung Keyboard for the Note 10.1?
I got it from amazon but last week the Note was released in Israel so there must be a Hebrew keyboard somewhere.
I could not find any Israeli roms for n8000 on sammobile.com.
Thank you for the help.
I know you can change the system language to hebrew in the settings, as for the keyboard, I dont see it. You can get a different keyboard from the market, i reccomend anysoft keyboard or swiftkey x, they are both very good and support hebrew.

What makes you think this is development?
thank you
yes I know I am using swiftkey and I love it but I would like to have the clipboard and the spen writing option. The Hebrew "system langue" is very unstable.
anyway thanks for the effort.
Hi Shaitoni,
I bought my device from Samsung Israel and it came with the Hebrew Samsung keyboard and stable system.
Unfortunately, i couldn't make calls (they blocked it cause of import tax issue) and it didn't recognize 64GB micro sd i bought.
So i've installed an official firmware and all problems were gone but i can't find also this original Hebrew keyboard.
I found the last firmware (4.1.1 N8000XXBLJ9 N8000OXABLJ9) to be almost stable, except for Task Manager (download task killer) and Samsung Apps (who wants it??).
What i did was to install CWM recovery, then this firmware, then root it with super user permissions.
After that i downloaded from google play "language enabler" because the Hebrew was hidden and swift key for Hebrew.
I can go and ask them to install back their official firmware but i don't think it's worth it and maybe someone will put it on the net, i don't understand why it's not embedded in the os like in Apple ios.
Too bad i didn't copy the original rom before upgrading it, but 4.1.1 is much better the ICS.
Regards
If u want a hebrew keyboard u can flash this rom

Thanks, i think it's the only ROM i didn't try
Anyway, i found this ROM a little bit laggy and the Hebrew keyboard doesn't turn your handwrite into text (like the one i had when i bought it).
So i decided to install back the official stock and just root it, until something better will show up.

I already rooted the phone but do I need to install recovery just in case?
Can anyone recommend me a good rom? Thanks.

I dont even know how to flash a custom rom , they really need to help us out.
Flash the phone for what ?
They need to provide us with the right programs and working links and maybe even develop a custom firmware for the phone and make it easy to make this phone working properly.
Thats what they are for.
To develop and provide
