Updating my Samsung GS2 to Gingerbread XXKG1 2.3.4 Firmware lost me the Arabic support added under 2.3.3
Is there yet Arabic support for Gingerbread 2.3.4? If not, is it advisable to restore 2.3.3?
Cheers.

Same here, I am searching for Arabic support as well.
Thanks
Arabic Support in SGS2 with Gingerbread 2.3.4
Lonexl:
If you're in a rush that you can't wait till the official release of the arabized 2.3.4 then your only choice would be to to switch to a deodexed rom (I am using Darky's ROM) - google " rom-base-sgs2-2-3-4-darkyrom2-xxkg1-base.4059 " to get it
The problem with this is that the programs/browsers that use the support library "libwebcore.so" will not be able to render Arabic correctly due to the fact that till date no one successfully compiled libwebcore.so from the webkit provided by samsung with arabic support patched in; However, firefox should work fine with stock font.
If that doesn't matter then after flashing the ROM just apply the update attached in this post using ClockWorkMod Recovery or simply upload the files framework.jar into /system/framework; libicuuc-arabic.so & libanrdoid_runtime.so into /system/lib using root explorer or any other method/tool.
Cheers.

Thanks for your reply, although neither methods worked for me, perhaps this would benefit someone else....
Clockworkmod wont work on my mobile for some reason and attempting to copy the lib and jar files did not either using rom manager (getting permission errors).
So may be I have to wait for a simple firmware that can be fired away via good old Odin.
It should be straight-forward process to get CWM you need to flash a kernel with CWM built-in. I suggest that you try "CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4.zip" from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
However, the one mentioned in Darky's thread "Supercore..1.0" should do anyway..
Once flashed you need to reboot your device with the three buttons down (power+home+up) to get the recovery menu. If you use that ROM you need to exercise patience as it will take a very long time to display the menu.
The stock ROM recovery will not allow you to flash the update because it's not signed by Samsung.
Thanks mate for your message. Athough i really appreciate your help must admit, I found the above message rather confusing.
"If you use that ROM (Which ROM are you referring to) you need to exercise patience as it will take a very long time to display the menu. The follow on step is not clear either.
When I installed arabic support to my SGS2 2.3.3 via one firmware & ODIN, straightforward process.... and for the non-tech "occaisional users" like yours sincerely the easiest way is to Start Odin, load firmware, click start and.... bingo.
Lookslike I will either have to wait for such firmware or search other sites.
Cheers.
SGS2 xxkg1 (european firmware): libwebcore.so with arabic shaping
I have made a patch which will enable arabic character shaping in the browser
*NOTE: This is only for Galaxy S2 with XXKG1 (2.3.4) (European Firmware – Deodexed)*
Use CWM to update using the zip file attached
*UPDATE* I have cooked a patch for SGS2 European XXKG3 (2.3.4). PM me in case you need a copy (for Deodexed Firmwares only).

brightidea,
good to see you here
you got 6 more posts to start joining us in the dev section.
Go brightidea go !!
To everybody that don't know brightidea, he's the genius that brought patched libwebcore.so (yes, in binary form) and brought us proper arabic shaping for SGS2 2.3.4 ROMs.
I'm posting your files on my thread as we speak.
Thanks MadMack - 10 posts are not easy to make when not really familiar with the platform but I am trying: )

Can't you just send me libwebcore.so or a link to it? downloading the whole ROM is just too much.

Currently the best unofficial arabic support package is provided by brother Madmack and you should be able to get it from here http://blog.devasque.com but be warned it requires that your phone's system has been deodexed. You could use a package called xultimate to deodex your system automatically just make sure u actually use a version which employs the latest smali/baksmali (ver 1.2.8). Additionally you may just search the market for "brightidea browser arabic patch" to download the patch I built for the browser (which should be included in madmack's package anyway). Good luck.

Could anyone kindly post a 5.0.1 rom direct download link/dropbox link(not shortened by tiny.cc) or rom file on a file hosting site (mediafire etc) please? Thanks.

Hi, i just bought the samsung galaxy 2 hd lte (SHV-e120K) and i was looking to root it. i couldn't find anything anywhere except for this website in Chinese that has the file downloads and instructions for the process. i read through the instructions through google translate, but not everything was clear. first of all, has this worked for anyone???? and if so can someone properly translate the instructions so i can root it properly. i don't want to take any risks.
here's the website in chinese (delete spaces between the dot and com, and between the dot and html):

There is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484547
but for now, there isn't a 'rooted kernel' for the more recent updates that you got OTA or via Kies.. so check my comment .
about reverting to the older stock rom. You might want to wait for ICS and a rooted kernel before going through the trouble of rooting.
WIth E120K, have you tried using the LTE service already? I am really wondering whether the LTE service work outside of Korea, especially in Australia. thanks
LTE on it works great. Does anyone know if there is a kernel for 4.0.4 for the E120K. I have searched all over the place to no avail.

Google --->>> rootzwiki: shv-e120k <<<---
There you will find all you need including links to Tegrak's recovery and kernel builds for UF29 firmware.
There's no kernel and recovery for the latest -- UK08 firmware (it isn't JB There are a few requests on Tegrak's blog for a kernel and recovery for the UK08 firmware so I doubt we will wait long - Tegrak is always on the ball

Hello comunity, some time ago somebody claims to have this file for this variant of GA2. It was me.
I checked forum and i found a thread but (with all respect), the file it was upload on that thread wasnt original 8160L i believe its some mod file or something. Install that may cause strange behavior to your L phone.
This is it. Happy flashinghttps://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B7OJM0GsxEc1V3VHSHRrRFA1OVk/edit
Install:
On file there are 3 files + odin.
The firmware has TTT regional code and its made for original 8160L.
1.Open odin
2. Put the pit file.
3. On PDA put the code file
4. On CSC put the CSC file
5. Flash and enjoy
If there are some questions feel free to ask. I belive it doesnt need screnshots but if someone wants a few i could upload.
Happy back to GB to all L users.
Original, Indeed!. Never saw this before for L-Version.. Thanks for sharing... This is the better option to go back to GB, for sure!
Thanks dude, you are truth, I had been searching for A 3 piece ROM for the L.
Thanks a lot it works perfectly
Awesome!!!! thanks bro you saved my life
link is down
hello, the link is dead, and i need this firmware please

That's not official ROM. It's a port.
The title states: September 22nd, Official Samsung Release Android 4.4.4 base NH7 - Experimental version.
He also said his Note 3 Korean version, N9006 chinese and N9005 flashed it fine.
UI changes not seen.
THIS IS BASED ON N900P'S FIRMWARE.
Also stuff like after he flashed he didn't need to reflash N900S kernel.
I know how to read the site, and that's just a port. Just use XDA man.
