[Q] Arabic support for Gingerbread 2.3.4

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).

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.

[Q] root for dummies - Samsung Galaxy S GT-19000

Hi, I have scoured the web for information but several hours later I am none the wiser.
I would like to root my device in order to optimize its performance. I am super confused about: cf-root, mobile/pc odin, android version, etc. I still have no idea what is appropriate for my device. :crying: Please point me in the right direction.
I have found may threads out there with very detailed instructions, but I can't figure out if that's what I need. I'm apparently on Gingerbread, but what do I need now? The Icecream, the other one?
Reason for rooting: phone too slow with so many apps loading themselves in the background. I want to be able to prevent all these [expletive deleted] apps from loading themselves automatically. I also want to remove the stock apps I don't need (but can't now remove). I'm tired of factory resetting every other week to improve performance.
Ultimate purpose: phone, sms, whatsapp, news. That's it. I don't need 3d porn or anything. :angel: My needs are extremely minimal.
Thanks for any pointers! :good:

Thanks Sewrizer. I'd rather brick the phone than pay for the service. I already have a more recent phone, so this is more of a second device. It's just that I like the typing better so I haven't completely stopped using it. I guess I'm sort of relishing the idea of an experiment with it as well.
Do you have a link to instructions for the above? If it works for your friend, it's good enough for me.
Unless I hear something back, I'm getting ready to try this:

thanks a lot.

which cf-root?
Thanks Sewrizer. As it happens these are the instructions I started with, and from which a lot of confusion arose (I can't post urls yet).
The first link is to Odin3 v1.85, but I have found Odin3 v1.87. Not sure if there is a later version. It says somewhere that the latest version is best.
The second link is to a series of posts with many download links. Somewhere down the page it states that if you're confused, then:
First, go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number. It should say something like FROYO.xxJPy. It's primarily the JPy that we are interested in. Try to match that with a download link available in this (and the next few) posts. Some of the downloads dont just have JPy file name format, but are called xx_xxx_JPy.
Let me explain that. Samsung isn't always very precise in naming/marking their different (leaked) firmwares. CF-Root's are modified kernels, the filenames explain in more detail which exact firmware ROM the base kernel was taken from, for those experts who understand.
If you are not one of those people, go back to the JPy thing. The "y" in JPy is 0-9, A-Z. If they run out of numbers, they use letters. So A would be 10 (9 + 1), while Z would be 35 (9 + 26). Find the one that is closest to yours, if yours is not present, and flash that one.

Well, my build number is of the form GINGERBREAD.zsjv6, which doesn't fit the pattern described (I don't see any JPy, I see jv6), so which version of CF-Root should I download?

downgrade

Looks like that tutorial was only good for stock froyo users. Since you have gingerbread you must have updated your phone. I think you may have to downgrade from 2.3 to 2.2.

Hi there!
There seems to be no info on that phone on XDA. So you'll have to post your questions in our general Q&A section. Perhaps someone there will know something about your device.

Good luck! ?

Reinstall Rom etc

hi
I am a total newbie in the android field. I have a Samsung grand 2 which I got rooted with cynagen mod which had pre-root installed . the baseband version is G7102DDUANE2 & kernel version is 3.4.0-2575608 se,[email protected] #1 Tue Mar 4 09:41:59 KST 2014
and build number is Gen.NxtG7102ZTUANC1. this version is not working well and one or the other app is always " unfortunately stopped working"
I would request that if some one can suggest some other good rom for this phone and the process to flash the same. Need to keep the phone rooted as need to install some apps later. also any way I can remove this previous rom and do clean install type of thing ( as we do for computers) . I would just like to delete the whole thing and install a totally new rom and work on that.
thank you.

I don't have any direct experience with your phone, so I would just be guessing.
Usually, you just have to try them out and see what one works best for your uses.
Some ROMs will work good for some and not others, I don't know why. That's why its difficult to say what one is better than another.
