i really dont want to be rude or something, but im not sure if this is the change log . is it ?
thanks.
I decided to try to use the language files translated held for LewaOS to a completely different ROM - below than the effect.
Unfortunately the translation of the ROM estimate at around 30-35% - but this ROM is very different from the other and therefore it is a lot of untranslated phrases - but as a curiosity for anyone who needs a convenient use 2 SIM cards "immediately" and likes to style a la iPhone IOS recommend.
Languages in ROM: EN, ZH, PL, DE, ES, HU, CS, SK, NL, PT, IT
Download - 262MB:
HellShare: N1_IOS-20130117.2138_by_JDStar.zip
Uploaded.net: N1_IOS-20130117.2138_by_JDStar.zip
The original topic in a forum Newman: N1_IOS rom - N1, newman - Powered by Discuz!
The interesting features mentioned by the author:
long battery life (writes that five days ....)
full management of two SIM cards - this is done great, at any time have access to both cards without switching or dial changes. For each separate SIM card to the set ring tones, alerts, information, etc.
My changes:
removed some Chinese applications
rom starting in English
Course of recovery to load - I recommend you do before flashing a copy of the data and wipe.
NOTE!
IF YOU IS NOT TO SURE YOUR SKILLS: I'm NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE!
I'm downloading the rom , when i install it i will share my comments about .Thanks
Is there a way to have greek lanquage?
Yes. I'm provide and development a android translation system.
Currently working with LewaOS, FullRsuReborn and this iOS style.
I can help with translation to CS (Czech) if you need. Have broken leg so I have plenty of time now. PM me if you want me to help. I can also help with translation for Lewa ROM if its not the same.
Will this work on gs3?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
No, You must porting this to Jiayu G3 - this ROM NOT WORKING on phone OTHER than Newman N1!
Please can you support your development by discussing with LewaOS, FullRsuReborn for galaxy note 2

What do you mean, because I do not fully understand?
I would like to help translation to German if needed. Tell me how and I'm trying my best to help to translate the missing stuff.
I just tested the ROM and found that GAPS are missing completely. I could install it with CWM in addition but PlayStore and calendar is not working at all. PlayStore is not able to download something. If I install apks directly some of them will not work after install. Curiously I can see them on screen but cannot start (greyed). Info says that the app cannot be found.
In total the actual version is quite buggy BUT also very nice. Hope somebody works on the bugs...
Does anybody know if the ROM is still developed? To work on translation for that ROM wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Actually the ROM is too buggy. Especially GAPS are not working including PlayStore.
[APP][2.2+] 子典 Cantonese Dictionary (2.3.3) - Free offline Cantonese-English Dict.
Hi guys, I'd like to introduce my dictionary app for Cantonese-English lookup.
Description
The 子典 Cantonese Dictionary is a free, offline dictionary with over 210K entries.
It offers four lists and according search modes:
English Meaning (/Description)
Cantonese Words
Cantonese Characters
Jyutping (Romanization)
The entries of this list are asynchronously loaded from a database copied to the internal storage in the background.
The database itself is based on the Cantonese CEDICT project.
I came up with the idea, when I searched myself for a good dictionary for Cantonese, but I've only found Mandarin, not working, and ugly online half-working ones. So I programmed my own with Holo Light and Google Cards UI.
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plckthun.cantdict
The app is for free, but with a minor banner ad at the bottom of the lists. You can remove the ad and support the development by purchasing the "Adfree" In-App package.
Support / Report
I'll answer your suggestions, problems and questions on this facebook page:

No, I'm from Germany, but my mother came from Hong Kong, so I'm trying to learn more Cantonese and came up with the idea
I come from Hong Kong and studying in UK currently so a dictionary would be really helpful for me,a few suggestion for your app btw

What is this?
Basically by installing this application, as soon as you receive a notification there is a flash as your phone starts blinking for the LED notification.
It can be useful to anyone that has a device without the LED notification, but instead have a flash next to the selfie camera.
It also extends the concept of notification to the unread badges received from the applications (ex. the "Facebook like"). So, when an unread badge pops up, in the same way as a "normal" notification the flash starts blinking and you will be notified of what's going on.
Various settings are also available to better configure the application to suit your needs.
It works on all devices equipped with a front flash, regardless of whether or not they have the hardware LED notification. (read also the Hardware limitations section for more details)
Main features
customizable activation based on the current display status and audio mode
pocket mode and recovery options
Samsung AOD support
single or double blink
optional custom delay for the first blink
use also the rear flash when the device is upside down
additional flashing loop with customizable frequency
three different gestures to dismiss the flashing loop
customizable exclusions for the incoming call, the missing call and the text messages
customizable exclusions for all the installed user applications
flash notifications for the unread badges received from compatible applications and customizable by app exclusions (only on Samsung devices with TouchWiz based ROM)
suspend on low battery
suspend during a customizable time slot
integration with the Android "Do not disturb" settings
custom quick setting tile in the quick settings panel to easily turn on/off the service (only on Android 7.x+ devices)
custom shortcut pressing the application icon to easily turn on/off the service (only on supported launchers and on Android 7.1.1+ devices)
built-in black list to avoid the flash for useless, fake or annoying notifications from some applications
optimized for memory usage
battery-friendly (usually takes up 2% in each 24 hour period)
dark theme
RTL support for Arabic languages
no ADS
no ROOT ACCESS needed to work
and more...

Privacy
This application is not ad-supported and can not collect and transmit any sort of privacy sensitive information.
This application can not collect, store or publish any user information.
This application can not use any data connection, detect your location or access your contacts. It also can not read any sensitive information stored on your device. This guarantees maximum security for your data and your privacy.
Permissions
This application does not need any special permissions except for the one to bind the Android notification listener service. [android.permission.BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE]
This is the only authorization required to properly interact with your incoming notifications (you will be asked about it explicitly when it is run for the first time).
Devices with Camera Hardware level: LIMITED (partial Camera2 API support)
On some devices the manufacturer implemented only partially the Android Camera2 API; this means limited hardware access to the camera for the developers. In this case the only way to let this application properly take control of the front flash is to use the old Android API and that's why you may also have to authorize the application to use the hardware camera. [android.permission.CAMERA]
With the first run and only if the application detects this limitation, as per the above case you will be asked explicitly to grant full camera access permission (even if the application should only use the front flash, the flash is strictly part of the hardware camera).
You must agree with providing access to your device camera, file system and audio recording for the application to function. This access is limited to user only. None of the data present in your device can be shared with me or any other person.
Keep in mind that if you deny any of these permissions the application will not work!
If you know how Android works and the meaning of application permissions, you can easily verify by yourself all the above statements.
So please, avoid claiming that we are a bunch of criminals here just to steal your data with this application... in doing that, you would be such an IDIOT!
Hardware limitations
Lately several devices (mainly, but not only, running Android 8.x) are equipped with front flash with custom hardware that developers can not have access to. Furthermore, with the introduction of the new firmware based on Android 8.x, Samsung has inexplicably inhibited the use of front flash to developers on a wide range of devices.
Strangely enough, the front camera of your device may not be equipped with a "real" front flash for this application. When it "asks" through the Android API to your front camera some information about its front flash, the answer may be "no front flash available". There is no workaround this!
This is a software/hardware limitation imposed by the manufacturer (don't ask me why) and at the moment unfortunately there's nothing I can do. I understand your amazement, but if you experience this kind of issue at 99% of the time that's the reason why this application may not work and could report the non-availability of a front flash despite your eyes seeing a front flash.
Mainly only the branded (stock) camera application can handle this kind of front flash, using owned and reserved API.
Try it by yourself to install (from the app Store) an alternative camera application. Then shoot a front selfie and check if the front flash can turn on... or use any other application you expect to use the front flash (usually Instagram and Snapchat fail as well) and then let me know the results.
In addition, you can also try to install Device Info HW and then select the "Camera" tab and check all detailed information about the front camera of your device.
Finally, let me remind you that this app can't take control over the brightness, the color and the speed (On-Off phase) of a flash; unfortunately it isn't a LED... no way for the developers to handle these features.
All of them are strictly related to the hardware and its manufacturer and therefore vary from model to model.
Main functioning
As you can imagine, this application must be able to take control of the front flash of your device to work properly. In an Android phone this can only happen in one way: through the front camera as the flash is strictly connected to it.
The developers in fact through dedicated instructions, can turn it on and off at will. But it always has a connection to the camera and not directly to the flash itself.
To handle all the incoming notifications, an Android service will run in background on your device.
These are the main functioning at the root of this application.
Troubleshooting
If you installed any startup manager application (such as Startup Manager, Autorun Manager, AutoStart Manager, Advanced Task Manager, BootManager, etc) or any battery manager/optimizer application (such as Greenify, Doze, Brevent, Hibernator, App Freezer, etc) pay attention to avoid killing the running "Flash notification service" otherwise this application will not work!
I also want to draw your attention to the importance of the Android wakelocks in the lifecycle of this application (if you don't know what wakelocks are, disregard the sentance below).
If your device is running an application that detects and blocks wakelocks (such as Wakelock Detector, WakeBlock, No Wakelock, Wake Lock - PowerManager, etc), keep in mind that the main features of this application will not work as you expect. So add it to the white list if any, or if you are interested in using this application in any way avoid blocking the wakelocks.
In other words, because of unreasonable battery optimizations implemented by some brands but not only, you have to be careful not to put this application in hibernation without realizing it or maybe killing or blocking the background service without noticing it. These are the most common causes of the main problems you may experience!
Please verify the impact over this application by any system tools / Magisk - Xposed modules which you heavily rely on (especially if your device is ROOTED).
So, double check your system settings before reporting any issues, thanks.
Battery consumption
It isn't strictly related to the application itself. What drains the battery is the flash not the background service in charge of managing your incoming notifications, I can't do more in terms of optimization.
Battery consumption mainly depends on how long you will let the flashing loop run before you dismiss it (the shorter it is the better for your battery) and also on how many notifications you receive a day.
Issues & Known bugs
with the introduction of the new firmware based on Android 8.x, Samsung has inexplicably inhibited the use of front flash to developers on a wide range of devices, so this application stop working!!
System requirements
Android 6.x Marshmallow or later
a device with front camera and front flash (read also the Hardware limitations section for more details)
five minutes of your free-time and a little piece of your brain (just in case)
you do not need ROOT ACCESS for this application to work
Installation instructions
Just download the apk and open it as a normal application.
Download
This application is available on the Google Play Store.
In order to keep in touch with the latest updates, I suggest you uninstall any previous version you downloaded here from XDA and then install the official version of the Play Store.

Hope I have been helpful in understanding.
Thank you nice work

Oh... this sounds strange! Be more specific please.
Which android version?
Which label is displayed at the left of the greyed switch?
Did the app ask for "Notification access permission" at first run?
Open Options --> Lock screen and security --> Other security settings and check manually the notification access permission (if it's disabled, activate it now) and let me know.
Thanks

SM-J710F model right?
Chipset Exynos or Snapdragon?
Stock ROM, Custom TWLauncher rom, AOSP rom... or what?
(I'm sorry for so many questions, but the more I know and the more it becomes easy to solve the problem, I hope)

SM-J730G model right?
Seems like something go wrong during the front flash detection phase.
This app uses the standard Android Camera2 API to get access to the flash.
So, is something strictly related to your device model and Samsung hardware/firmware.
Maybe is the Exynos chipset variant... not so easy to investigate but I will try.
Thanks

FrontFlash Notification
Issues & known bugs:
on some Exynos chipset based devices, take control over the front flash fails. Check yours by yourself and let me know. (I'm working to understand how to fix it)
Thank you for this app, I will try it.
Works great on my Moto Z2 Play. Even dual flash works too. Awesome work !
This will be very useful on my Honor 7 since the notification LED is so small it's almost invisible.
Haven't been able to get it to work yet though.
First issue I got was that the service was running but not enabled. I figured out it was due to the "suspend on low battery" setting even though my battery was at 80%.
I unticked that and now the service is running and enabled.
I'm trying to get a notification when receiving an e-mail(gmail) but nothing is happening. Gmail is not in the possible exclusion list at all, maybe that has something to do with it?
Edit: It works for other apps like the calendar app.
Thanks for the work so far.
FrontFlash Notification
Just an update for Exynos chipset based device users... the front flash detection issue is not related to the chipset.
For some strange reasons (don't ask me why), on the new devices series (Exynos of course), Samsung has implemented only partially the Camera2 API for the developers. Hardware level: LIMITED (partial Camera2 support)
This is why at the time been my app can't use the front flash on your device.
In the next few days I'm going to produce a new 1.7 version, where if Camera2 fails the app takes control over the camera and his front flash using the old Android API.
Based on the first tests, fortunatelly this seems to fix the problem.
Keep in touch
