Hello there! Anyone with APKs for older versions of Swype? I don't like the one that came from KH3, my current rom. I like the older version better, the one that came with my original firmware (which I don't remember because i rooted and installed a custom rom right when I got home). That version had the pop-up word suggestion as opposed to the horizontal one in the newer version. Also, on the old version, I just need to tap the letters of an unknown word and it will be automatically added to my dictionary. With the new version, I need to press the "add to dictionary" button whenever I need to add a new word to the dictionary. This is really annoying.
Thanks for any help!
Good question, bump for that...why do companies downgrade functions in upgrades?
But also, you as a Singapore user, do you have keyboard support for traditional chinese on your KH3 ROM....specifically the use of a ㄅㄆㄇㄈ keyboard? The ㄅㄆㄇㄈ isn't swype enabled on mine btw.
I'd like to upgrade my ROM, but don't want to do the China KH3 as it uses Baidu for search instead of Googorolla.
Err.. I'm not a singapore user.. I'm filipino.. Sorry

Nothing complicate but I can not post the files here.
The idea is:
1. you need a root phone
2. uninstall the original version ( titanium backup can do that)
3. install the old version
By the way: what version and languages are you looking for?
I kinda know how to do that already, I just need the proper Swype .apk's.. Im looking for any version that does not have the word suggestions in the horizontal manner, instead in the pop-up that lists the suggestions vertically, just like the classis swype does. For language, english is the only language I need since there's no support for Filipino anyway.. I just add words to the dictionary..

Hi guys,
I plan to buy on June 14th the Galaxy S2 on Bell Canada network, it will replace my Pre2.
I was wondering if you can recommend me a specific ROM that will get rid of TouchWiz and allow me to run Gingerbread stock. I'm not familiar at all with Android, as I never use it before. That is the main reason why I rather ask the question here instead of searching, as I would not know what to search for.
A little about myself: I'm a Linux head (Redhat advanced + Ubuntu).
Thank you for your your help.
If you realy want to delete touch wiz, you'll have to root your phone otherwise you can't get rid of touch wiz, however you can run a different launcher and having touch wiz on your phone.
Hi Viletung. In WebOS, it takes me about 30 seconds to root the phone.
Yet that retains all the phone settings unchanged, while allowing me to install packages, manipulate data, etc. Is it the same thing with SGS2?
I guess my question is: is it recommended to root the phone? I'm curious if most of Android users root their phone. I know I rooted my Palm Pre/Pre2 phones 5min after I got them. I read on the Internet that certain ROM's are built on stock Gingerbread (without TouchWiz), allowing the phone to save on battery and run much smoother with less used resources. Obviously, if you install a new ROM it will void the warranty.
I'm at a point where I'm learning the basics, so any advice is appreciated.
Hello!
I've installed Lite'ning rom 1.5, which has root access. And to flash it takes about one minute!
When I got this phone, I knew it was possible to root my phone, but I was scared that I would screw something up and break the device.
Now, it's about one month after I got this phone and I must say after rooting the device, deleting some standard Samsung **** (Social Hubs etc..), my SGSII isn't draining battery as it used to do before I deleted some stuff. (Including TouchWiz)
But I have also a JIG, to reset the custom kernel counter, just incase I need my warranty back.
So my final conclusion is; I can't life without root! I like to edit the system icons (battery-, wifi icon and much more).
If you have any questions, I'll try to help you
Rooting, yes do it. It's easy, does no harm, and opens up neat options.
Just get Villainrom which is updated to version 2.0. It's built on android 2.3.4, fixing the 2.3.3 battery drain bug (which occured on all phones running 2.3.3).
If you want your stock gingerbread experience, there is a rom out there which tries to replicate this, but I recommend using a 'better' rom with a custom launcher mimicking Gingerbread. Since there's not a lot of difference than just a different launcher (home-menu).
Most dont root but most are not on XDA and dont know anything bar stock . I would guess most XDA users root .
I'm at a point where I'm learning the basics, so any advice is appreciated.
To a certain extent its been a learning curve for the devs as SGS 2 is different to SGS1 .Expect even more development as the days go by .

Thanks a lot guys for the info.

Thanks for the info. I want to have the latest version of Android, I don't really care about Gingerbread. How do updates work on Android (i.e. updating to Ice Cream Sandwich eventually)? On WebOS, updates are done automatically from your carrier or Palm/HP (if you had an unlocked phone like myself). Even if I rooted my phone, I would be able to update the phone firmware with a simple download and retain the rooted aspect of the phone.
About rooting, what did you used? I'm looking at Odin and SuperOneClick... is there something better/safer? One more time, thank you.
Official updates via Kies over PC only .
Rooting is usually lost on update .
Rooting via Chainfire

Why don't you use it for a least a few seconds before ditching it, there's no aosp gingerbread anyway so you're stuck with it until cm7 comes along.
I want to root the phone and replace the ROM mainly because I heard that TouchWiz is running on top of current OS. I could disable TouchWiz, indeed. The issue is: I do not know how upgrades are performed into phone. From the above posts, I have to do it myself is not an automated download/install like WebOS does it.
So, if a new Android version is released, I have to download it myself? For example, my phone comes with 2.3.3 installed but 2.3.4 is released already. Will my phone ask me to download the latest version automatically upon release? I presume not, I have to download and install it myself. Using logic, that is done by either installing a ROM or getting the upgrade from mobile provider.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

That's correct, and is one of the main reasons people root their Androids so that when a new version comes out we can download it straight away and don't have to wait for the carrier to officially release it, which usually takes a lot longer than it does for the devs here to put something together. E.g. there are a few ROMs already in the dev forum based on 2.3.4, but there is not yet any official update.
Thanks guys much appreciated. I will probably have more questions, once I have the phone on hand.

Android phones get new updates over the air when available, just like web os. Only Samsung does their own thing which is different on the sgs2 than on normal android devices. .
Which is, providing updates through an unnecessary software suite called KIES. You won't see an update available message on your phone.

Just install a launcher fromthe Android Store. There's plenty of good ones like LauncherPro, GX Launcher, 7 launcher. Their all relatively good and fully functional.
OK, I got the phone (16GB model) today from FutureShop and played with it a bit. It is a great phone indeed...
Phone Info (might be useful for devs)
Network: Bell Canada
Model: GT-I9100M
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100MUGKG2
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
Now, on with the usual:
Bell bundled the phone with several crap apps like Self Serve, TeleNav GPS (how stupid is that on an Android), Remote PVR, etc.
I will follow your advice and use the phone for now as is, without any fancy stuff done to it (like a new ROM). I would like to get rid of the Bell proprietary apps (physical delete), let me know if is possible. I guess if the phone is rooted it should be easy, the trick is to know how to delete the apps from the phone.
Another question: How do I install the Samsung drivers, without installing the blotted KIES?
I looked for a clean package with SGS2 drivers only but I could not find anything... All I want is to go to Device Manager and point a directory.
I must admit that Android is a totally new experience, coming from WebOS. I'm pretty much lost, heh. I know I sound like a noob, so please forgive me if I ask some simple questions that I can get the answer with a search or just by reading the phone instructions (haven't had the time to read the documentation).
I have bought a SGS2 in China. It comes with Chinese firmware (has English language though) but mostly with Chinese software and without Android Market. So it does not sync with Google, searches go through Baidu, I can't find and install most apps so it's essentially not very fun to use.
I have been trying to exchange the Chinese firmware for European firmware using ODIN.
Sadly, this seems not to work: the flashing always fails, leaving my phone bricked until I reflash the Chinese firmware (which works fine). This Chinese firmware has a different format, i.e. there are no CSC, MODEM and CODE tarballs. Instead there is one single tarbar containing the following files
boot.bin
cache.img
factoryfs.img
hidden.img
modem.bin
param.lfs
Sbl.bin
zImage
I would be terribly grateful if someone could help me make my 500 euro phone useful, or at least I would like someone to tell me why this firmware cannot simply be installed on this phone.
ownhere --yeah the guy making googlemap mods -- is now making sgs2 rom based on china sgs2 rom
Go get it here
Thanks, but will this enable the Android market? It doesn't say so in the Chinese translated through Google Translate.. :/
umm.. i thought u can read chi ..
It will enable market for sure. Here's 2 captured pics of that rom
It's in Chinese but u may still recognize the market icon @ second line together with some other GG stuffs.
said Non-officially , china version i9100 has some easy-to-brick problem rooting and flashing eu/hk rom, so maybe u should try this ownhere rom.
Thanks! This sounds really promising! Does it support English language still? I'll try as soon as possible!
yeah every android handset supports english locale I guess.
like ur china version does.
Thanks again. By the way, why is it that Chinese I9100 models have this problem? Is it a different filesystem? How have they managed to block EU firmware from a phone whose hardware ought to be identical?
Does it have anything to do with the processor not being a Tegra2?
Oh delicious man! It works! So far at least, I've been able to add a Google account and download apps from the Android market. I'm the happiest person on the planet. 100% fact*
*probably
no idea.
It's a "It's said".
lol
Cool. I've been playing with it for a bit and am quite happy with it.
Some problems still remain, though.
1 The Reader's Hub and Social Hub are gone, not that I care that much
2 The MediaHub still only offers Chinese services, might want YouTube there
3 I don't find a phone software update button in the settings menu anymore (do I manually have to check for updates to this mod? Probably)
4 Adding a Credit Card to Google Market makes it become unresponsive (before I even am allowed to enter a card number). Might work better back in Europe.
5 I am now using a custom rom. I feel more comfortable with stock roms. I don't want to sound ungrateful but would love to know why I cannot simply flash European stock roms and how I could circumvent the barrier.
But a big thanks so far, it actually makes my phone usable and the GPS fix is fast as **** now!
Same as you all : look for a google open rom to flash on chinese I9100
Dear gluppfisk, You are a happy one with this cooked rom, accepted on chinese I9100, but including sone open application (google, market, ...).
But the link in the thread for this rom is now dead.
Is there someobe to reawke such a link ?

I am in the same boat as you! Well, actually my brother is, he got a chinese SII from a friend, and I bought myself a european SII a few days ago, he definitly would like to have a regular EU SII
So +1 for you, looking for the same things
Hello there,
I have the same problem as OP, and i'd also like to know a way to flash this chinese SGSII with an european rom/custom rom (such as superfast litening rom).
Thanks !

I have the same issue. Bought in China, tried to load non-china ROM and soft-bricked my phone. After much research, it seems that the Chinese have locked out a good deal of the functionality from their version of the SGS2 and blocked the ability to download a non-chinese ROM to the phone. I keep hoping someone will figure out a way around this--like to repartition the phone and add a different boot loader... or something like that.
In the meantime, your best bet is to go to onwhere's website: http://bbs.gfan.com/maintain.html?20110906. This person apparently doesn't like that the chinese have them locked out of google marketplace. They have a hacked ROM that you can load into the phone and get most of your needed functionality. It's not great, but it's better than nothing. FYI, onwhere is chinese and so it the page. You'll need to go through google translate or the like. I also have some screen shots earlier in this thread that have some of the download links translated. You might want to check them out.
If you manage to figure out a different way around this, would you mind shooting me a message on this forum?
Thanks, G.

Hi all, noob here.
Am hoping I am posting in the right section. Apologies if not.
Ok... I am an expat living in Beijing and just bought an Atrix here. Trouble is, Chinese android phones have Android Market removed. I rooted the phone using gingerbreak and have managed to install one or two apk files. However, Android Market won't install. On top of that, many pre-installed apps such as the maps etc are in Chinese and moto navi gives me instructions in Chinese. Even the browsers often redirect to Chinese pages.
So I have two questions:
1) Is it possible to simply get rid of the Chinese OS (ROM? Firmware? Is that right?) and replace it with, say, a US or UK version?
2) If not, how can I get android market working?
Any ideas gratefully received!
Oh and the phone seems to be running android 2.2.2 which I believe is not the version run by non-Chinese Atrixes.
idk about all that but you i think you should def ask the people in your area . because im pretty sure most of us are in the us but maybe try to get a update for your market and just try to get a international rom ?
Thanks. Unfortunately I am also a noob in Chinese too so that's a bit tricky. The international rom thing sounds ideal but I don't know where to get it or how to install it.

Thanks very much: that's a really helpful link! So if I install a stock Gingerbread ROM (my phone actually came with 2.2.2) does that ROM include all the preinstalled stuff such as Android Market etc? In other words, would doing so remove all the Chinese stuff from my phone and replace it with the standard stuff from whatever region the ROM is from? If so, that's what I think I need to do.

Any stock ROM will have the Android Market.
And yes it will remove all of your stuff on your phone and replace it with a fresh install of whatever is on that stock ROM...

Hello,
I read. something on the net like this "Many who read this blog know what it is ODIN. For those who are unaware, ODIN is a tool with which we can install any operating system Android. Or more commonly known in the Android community, allows us to flash our device Android." From a website that I can't post here due to the rules.
My question is
1. doesn't Android it self an OS? (like symbian)
2. but if what stated above is true then what are those "any operating system Android"?
3. does it mean the like of froyo gingerbread honeycomb etc?
4. If it is, then doesn't it will be depends on smartphone compatibility? (like say P1000 SGT is only upgradable to gingerbread)
Sorry for asking so much, I searched but it makes it jumbled.

Yes android is an operating system, no they don't mean "any operating system" they mean any firmware rom and yes you need to install a rom designed for your device.
A firmware rom is a version of android that has been changed to work better on a particular device, for example to remove some system apps or add new features, so it will only run on the device it was made for for example a samsung galaxy s rom will not work on an optimus 3D.
Odin is software that writes the new rom over the original, replacing the old one with a new version.

Ah I see that make things clear. so how do i get that rom? and when i replace with new rom, can I revert it to the original (I suppose it is possible with titanium back up or is it not?)
Ah also, so if I want to install a particular firmware rom then i will need to flash it correct? say since in this case is P1000, how do I get that rom? is there many kind of firmware rom for p1000, what are they? I google it but mostly come up with gingerbread 2.3

Once you put a new rom on your phone anything you had on it before is replaced. To revert back you have to put a copy of your old rom on your phone which then would give you back what you had before.
You have to do this via a pc, titanium backup is for backing upp apps not the operating system itself and so it cannot backup a rom.
You need to visit the xda forum for your phone as there will be detailed guides and information there that are just for your phone. You will also find roms that will work on your phone there.
Don't flash a rom if your unsure or are happy with your phone as it is because unless you get the process right you can damage your phone.

Hello and sorry if this thread is in the wrong place! (if it is please move it to the correct one).
I recently bought online from aliexpress an original k900 phone. Since the phone is not sold officially in Greece and i wanted it to have the greek language (at least be able to write in Greek) the seller told me he would put a rom that is universal and has all the languages possible and so he did
Before i ask tell you my issue and ask any questions i will provide you with the software and rom characteristic of the phone as it came from the seller.
Hardware Version: H-3-01
Software version number :S-3-01
Android version: 4.2.1
Baseband Version: CLV_6360_MODEM_01.1318.F
Internal version number: K900_ROW_LA_1_S_2_009_0035_130822
Also it has superuser installed with the following
superuser v3.1.3(46)
su binary v3.1.1(17)
From what i can understand is that its one of the original stock version lenovo provides but with international languages. (maybe i am mistaken)
1st question
when i go to settings-->all settings-->about device-->system updates its tells me that i can upgrade to K900_ROW_LA_1_S_2_009_0069_130922 (3.78MB)
The question is if i press update does anyone know and is sure what will happen? will it go back to the original asian market languages that the phone is intended to be sold or will it be ok? According to the seller he told me that if i press update it will lose all the languages and it will mess up the phone. Can anyone help me on this, if i press update will it mess up the phone? is there going to be another update after that version? or is the version mentioned above the last update available?
2nd question
From day one i have noticed two issues with the phone that from my experience both have to do with the current rom. The 1st is that i cant disable the stock messaging app in order to use go sms pro for 160 characters support since i write in greek. And since it cant be disabled from nowhere and even though i have set the go sms pro as the default i receive one sms 4 times, 2 in the stock sms app and 2 in the go sms pro app and if i delete one the messages from one app it deletes the sms from the other app automatically. The 2nd issue has to do with the proximity sensor and the screen turning off all of sudden or way too fast and from what i observed it does it only when using the stock rom and not in other 3rd party apps.
The question now is can someone please tell me what is the best and most stable custom rom that has multi language and the instructions on how to root.I have rooted many phones before mostly samsungs but they all had removable sd cards and it was clear. I am kind of an experienced user and i know my ways around a phone, but this is my first phone that has all non-removable parts and i dont want to brick it or get it in a infinite loop since there is no support for these phone in my country and i would have to send it back to china for repair or replacement
Thank you for your time and forgive me for asking stupid questions or putting this thread in the wrong place!
