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.

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: )

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.

I just bought onelast week.
Found 2 ways to root it, but both fail.
Please share the means to root it. :highfive:
Thanks in advance.
Alright here's the link http://db.tt/zeQNJ6XE. Install your necessary drivers and go into LG software mode and choose step 1 normal root. It takes about a minute for the process to be done.

I use it in W7, W XP, Ubuntu linux, and didnt work, but I use v17
This appears v15, i will try and post results
Not work for me.
There are 3 errors, showed in the attachment. They appear in both versions.

As I mentioned our device is identical to the LG HD 4x so in theory the same rooting method should work on our phone. My VU is in service for the coming week so I can't test this myself. If anyone wants they can go to the LG 4X subforum and try their root guide. Also if anyone is successful or not please report here.

use the version 18 for xperia
I tried three different ways and can't get root access on my P895:
- SuperOneClick: http://www.ninjaromeo.com/root-lg-optimus-vu-p895/
-> freezes/non responding at step #7 / #5 WaitForDevice in all combinations of psneuter/zergRush and loading only/lg software connection type
- Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
-> tried v18, v17, v15 device reboots and shows error: mount: permission denied (are you root?)
- as you mentioned that LG P880 Optimus 4X HD root should work too: o4xr.zip, IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk: http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...174-anleitung-root-lg-p880-optimus-4x-hd.html
-> IS11LG_SystemBackupTest crashes when running
My device details:
LG P895 Optimus Vu
Android: 4.0.4
Software Version: P89510e-EUR-XX (10e)
Baseband-Version: L6260-MODEM_SIC_02.1233.00
Kernel-Version: 2.6.39.4
I would be glad if people who get it running shared what they did Any ideas why it is not working here?
Thank you
Until now, I have reached the same results as you. Nothing better. Still searching for any other way to root this LG.

Solution for P895
Hi,
I found a solution.
Downgrade to V10C with the following guide:

Since i was frustrated with updating to V10f, i've asked so many people to solve my problem...
i'm here in Hong Kong and i haven't got the OTA update for V10f yet..
so i finally find a solution about that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289
it's from O2x section but i found that it works for P880 too (great work by felipemadox , not mine:laugh
i just copy it here and for you all easier to know this method
| 1 |
Download these 3 apps: http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz-udpate.html (the original link is deleted, re-uploaded by RuedasLocas):good:
| 2 |
- Install B2CTools LG
- Extract the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip (ex.: C:\KDZ\)
- Install msxml.msi (located \KDZ)
- Extract WindowsEnabler.zip to the same folder as KDZ (ex.: KDZ\WindowsEnabler)
| 3 |
Run LGMobile update (must be on your desktop) and install the usb drivers
| 4 |
Reebot your O2x in SW Upgrade mode (remove the battery, turn on the device and hold the vol - key)
dont turn the on/off button, just hold down volume and plug the cable in
| 5 |
Open the Windows "Device Manager" > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem
| 6 |
Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
| 7 |
- Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe
- After run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon util the "ON" text appears over the icon
| 8 |
- Go back to KDZ, locate press on the yellow folder and locate the .kdz file that you want to flash
- In my case, Optimus 2x P990h, the o type must be "3GQCT" and phonemode "DIAG"
| 9 |
- Click on "Launch Software Update" and don't click on anything else
- WAIT util your phone reboots automatically (5-7 min) and unplug the cable
- Dont care about the errorlog, it's normal
If you got only bootloop after flash .kdz, just do a hard reset:
- press and hold [vol -] and [power] until you got the "android recovery figure" and wait until they reboot again.
----------------------------------------------------
tested that root will lose after updating the firmware through this method
p.s. my English isn't good at all, sorry for that

Get the correct version (v10c) from here: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP895/ANEUBK/V10c_00/V10C_00.kdz
Step 8 works with the same settings for P985: The o type must be "3GQCT" and phonemode "DIAG"
You now can obtain root with: Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Then it's possible to do the software update and remain root.
