Hi,
So I tend to go through phones quite quickly, my new darling is the Galaxy Nexus (pros & cons vs SGS II - talk bout that elsewhere!) but anyway I'm giving my SGS 2 to someone very deserving but he needs to be able to use Chinese input as well as English.
Since I am Australian born and don't speak Chinese I've never had need of this and have no idea which ROM to help him install fresh. Any ROM recommends either custom or "just install samsung version XX" is fine and much appreciated. Thanks!
Miui has support for both simplified & traditional Chinese out of the box.

Thanks, would prefer to steer away from the CM/MIUI option but it is certainly a consideration if I can't find anything more suited - thanks for posting!
look for the asia version of the stock SGS2 rom. i flashed mine with it before and it comes with a chinese keyboard
Can Yu send me I know both

I've searched the internet far and wide as well as the forums here for an answer to this question but all of the threads I turned up were pre 2009, 2010 etc. A lot has changed since then.
I need to know how to install 'FINNISH' language on my wife's GT-I9001 (Galaxy S Plus)
She really needs it. I have rooted 2.3.4. From this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1260707
It doesn't come with Finnish but it stupidly comes with Estonian (wtf for? lol)
Anyway sorry if this has been discussed somewhere else but I really did try to look around before posting. It's really so important that I get this input language.
Thanks for helping a noob out!

Hi everyone, after seeing so much post of bootloader locked for every country I've got some trouble to choose between Galaxy Nexus (16Gb) and Razr, I actually live in France, so sorry for my english btw.
My current phone is a Defy on Cyanogen 7 RC1.5 wich I purely love, and I think it will be difficult to leave cyanogen to motoblur rom on razr if we can't get rid of it :/, on the other side I need a phone with micro SD port to have all my music (30Gb+) with me everywhere, so galaxy nexus 16Gb (32 is not available in France) is not as good as razr for that.
So my simple question is "Will custom rom (Cyanogen!) be soon available on razr and will it be difficult to install them on?"
In advance, sorry if i'm acting like a noob and for my english again.

Currently, neither the International RAZR (XT910) or the Verizon Droid RAZR (XT912) ship with an unlocked bootloader, so you won't be seeing any custom ROMs any time soon.
However Motorola have confirmed in a blog post (which I can't link because I don't have enough posts) that they will be shipping a firmware update that unlocks the bootloader "sometime later this year", so you might not be in for too long a wait, carrier permitting.
Long story short - if you need ROMs within a short period of getting your phone, and it's soon, you might want to consider the Galaxy Nexus. If you're willing to wait or your contract doesn't finish until next year, the choice might be more balanced. But the Galaxy Nexus will probably always have the better development community of the two devices.
Thanks for the reply, I think I will give it a try in stores!
Hi,
I just bought the SII LTE from Shanghai, unlocked, and i was thinking if there is way to change the ROM/Firmware to a non asian and if yes how i can do it code a very fresh guy to Android family. Most of the notifications are in Chinese and i don't understand anything.
Thanks,

Does NO ONE read?
Download the firmware you want to use in the area you are using the phone and flash via Odin, I mean come on how hard is that. I've had my S2 less than a week and have read through hundreds of threads, and it really gets under my skin that the moderators allow for the newbies to post senseless questions such as this and clog up the forum
Search in google a guide how to use Odin... It's very easy and in about 30 minutes you ll change your firmware
Hi guys, I think we should have a separate section here so that we could share our experiences with this particular model...I am very sorry if I pissed off any moderators here but since there are no threads regarding this model I felt like I had to do it
I wanna start by telling you that I bought this model for 550$ from Seoul just a week ago and I am very happy. Actually my aim was to get Samsung Galaxy S 3 but I missed it by a week But then saw this phone and said lets give it a try. And guess what , I am more than impressed Anyways after checking couple of forums I saw that official ICS Package was out I upgraded it and then rooted by the help of this forum. Definitely better performance and nice tweaks. But this came with one small issue ; sms problem. when there is an incoming SMS it says "No Caller ID" . Again after little bit googling I found the app called Handcent and it did the trick. Until an international or custom Rom comes out this could be the solution I suppose
One of the biggest differences of the Korean version is you cant go in to the secret menus by typing the secret codes in to the keypad so that caused some trouble while looking for the imei number and trying to change the SMSC ...
Lets share our experiences here so that anyone who has this version can find it here without too much hustle...

shows it to be basically a ATT type Note....... so other than country specific software quirks........ it is just a 717 note...... I will leave open for now but I think this will not go far, since there are not a lot of Korean Note user to interact with........... If you could please root your phone and provide a sys-dump and kernel and modem extraction would be very helpful to the community....

I already investigated , the blocks dont seem to be the same , the kernel is not the same either , probably needs to be reoriented or somethign and the usr key layout (obviously) needs to be changed . so with a modified updater script and proper kernel by flashing only system it *should work*
Why is this in the development thread? Rom/Mods/Modems only from what I am aware of.

Why don't you just make a bounty thread? If money is involved maybe it might convince a dev to try cooking up a rom and making a custom kernel. It is always nice to get free development but money can motivate people. Put up some money and I am sure others will too and see if you can't get it done. I have seen lots of other threads on your model and I know everyone with your device wants it badly. Its worth a try anyway.
So if I was to unlock my i717 and took it to Korea it would work with their service providers? :s

hi people, i use this korean model as well.
I am new to android (in fact, started 2 months ago) and not a native english speaker. So, i'm having a lot trouble with some technical words u guys use.
The thing is, i'm thinking of rooting my phone. but there arent much forums and threads on this model. I was wondering if the rooting guides here would work on my phone? and there are so many of em (also for i717...) ...
SOOooo, if possible could you quote the rooting guide (or link to thread) which will definitely work on my phone. i cant afford to make my phone obsolete
Help is much appreciated. Thanks
(btw, i'm from Mongolia. heya, fellow earthlings... haha)
Korean devs are at androidpub and matpclub, but not really serious development is there. Few kernel devs like tegrak and mostly cosmetic/porting from International ROM.
Korean note have 32GB/64GB variety, three diffrent carrier (SKT: HSPA+2100 LTE800/1800, KT: HSPA+2100 LTE1800, LGU: CDMArev.B1800 LTE800), hardware button, DMB, carrier specific addon plugins and frameworks, and pink note
and SHV-E160L for LGU, which is CDMA only(like Verizon). Pretty sure ATT note ROMs are not portable.

Reported for taking the discussion off topic.
Why would you even tell him? Better yet...why care? At least he started one thread for a whole model, to discuss all parts. He could be proliferating. Lets be nice here.
When there was no i717 forum, people discussed it in the Int. forum.
The i717R is discussed here...even though the forum is titled "AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717" as it should be.
Be easy on him. This is good for a chat, and it's about as close to the right place as it gets. He was honest about the fact that he knew there was no other place, and he was nice.
And his specific version has LTE and is powered by a snapdragon. So perhaps this truely is as good as it gets on XDA.

hidden menu !!!
I was searching for an answer for my sms problem and I found out an answer for something else. I was not able to enter any secret codes for the system menus before now it turns out that there is a hidden menu placed by the korean network which you can enter by typing 319 712 358 and then when it asks fr the password you type 0821 and Vala! You have access to the system settings now.
Now here is the question I can not make a video call because my LTE/3G server dns is a korean server address. Does anybody know where I could find the network server dns addresses for the Gsm Networks...
i broke my e160s menu and back button by flashing i717 kernel. i was able to flash cwm and i717 roms but orientation and those buttons are not working. flashing back original kernel and firmware didnt restore those buttons. i could get the phone back working without those buttons. but now i have to use another app to trigger those buttons.

Hi , as far as I know you can unbrick or recover your phone from any kind of situation. They have released the tool to do that. I can not post another forum's link here so just check the chinese version xda which is koxda and use google translate. You can find a lot of info there but it is hard to understand because of the translation. So actually that is the main reason I started this thread...
Im Glad man that youve open this threat for us.
i also use this device. Galaxy note shv-e160..UNRAZ how did you fix your sms problem? need it badly?? please
As I have wrote before in one of my posts in this thread I solved this with the free app called Handcent sms where you could download it from the market I can both send and recieve sms with no problem. But one handicap is I cant use any Turkish characters nor can exceed the 160 characters limit. Then you see the failed sending the message error... I am waiting for the update which would hopefully solve all the miseries One of the guys in this forum installed Honeycomb from the Koxda forum and solved the problem like that but I dont like using old firmware while there is an update
Hey everyone,
I unwittingly bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo (I9301I) today instead of the I9300, and have been having a lot of trouble finding anything to flash onto it. I think I've found my answer already, but to be sure: am I correct in thinking that there's no ROM support for the S3 Neo out currently? No Recovery app and no ROM to play with? If I'm correct, can anyone tell me if there are plans currently underway to change this? Or perhaps it's possible to use ROMs meant for the I9300?
Kind regards,
Matthias
I appears not only you made this mistake... I also bought i9301i instead of i9300 (long story short - I knew it was "Neo", the old version i9300 was hard to get).
At this moment I'm looking for custom roms, but it appears to be "too fresh" device with no support from e.g. CyanogenMod team. There is a problem in different components (as a newbie I'm not allowed to post links, so I have to obscure it) devicespecifications dot com slash en slash comparison slash e1d42876 (link found on XDA forums).
Also - I think that there are too few people using i9301i, so chances for creating new subforum on XDA are... Slim.
That is some bad news

Hey nekr0, thanks for the first reply, I'm hoping we'll get some good news about this soon, I'd love to start trying out some ROMs on this nice device. Even if it's just one or two ROMs I'd be a pretty happy camper overall.
Cheers.
Dont worry too much.
Its only a matter of time to get some support from XDA. It wont be as populat as S3 flag, but something will be done for sure.
I have bought 9301 as well, and using it for a week now, unrooted. Phone seems to be a good value for money for me. Time will tell though.
I have noticed that many people are confused about S3, S3 Neo, S3 Neo+.
Either way, it seems we will get 4.4.4 on 9301, so keep calm and dont push it too hard. Kernel modifications are risky.

Yes, it is information about Samsung Galaxy S III Neo... But Samsung is misleading us with naming. There are 2 "Neos", sometimes it is Neo, sometime Neo+, sometime Neo Duos/Duo. In this article you linked, information is about i9300i - yes, two regions already have 4.4.4 update: SKZ (Kazakhstan) and TGY (Hong Kong), but this topic is about i9301i. This is not the same device.
