Hello!
Sorry this is my first post and i hope that someone can held me.I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with the Dragon ICS V2.0 .Its a great Rom so far but i dont have a sms signs counter.My English is not so good and i hope you know what i mean.I have no flatrate for my sms and i need a counter where i can see how many signs i have until the second sms start.The Android Version is 4.0.4.I like the Dragon Style and i hope someone can held me to get the counter.If this is not possible i use Handcent.
Do you mean you want to know how many characters you are up to for your message? The default sms app does not show this information all the time. It will give you a warning when you are down to the last 10 characters on the top right of the input box.

Yes that is what i mean and someone in a another forum told me that on Android 4.0.3 the full(0/160) counter still including.Its strange i think.On 2.3.5 i also have the full counter that looks like 0/160.
Maybe the german ics default sms app is different than others?I dont know.....
If I recall from memory it does have the counter on all the time on gingerbread, but definitely not on ICS. No the stock sms app is the same all round, perhaps another app was used?

I just want to send and receive texts in Arabic without seeing a bunch of boxes instead of characters. I also want to send and receive IM's in Arabic without seeing a bunch of boxes. I read all over but I can't find the answer to my problem.
If it's possible, is there a solution to get full Arabic support (text messaging and 3rd party applications) without rooting my phone? If it isn't I don't mind rooting just be specific towards what to do.
Please help me out, thanks in advance.
there's a prog called mirsal
u can download it form the market to read and send text messages in arabic
it only works with SMS but it is not working with facebook posts or reading news
There was an Arabic translator app I used to have that allowed you to cut and paste as well as send SMS and email from the apps ui. I can't remember the name right now I'll try to find it for you. I don't know if that's something that would be helpful.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Actually, there is a good arabization port for the Vibrant from the i9000 galaxy S running on 2.1 . It was taken from the galaxy i9000 released in the middle east and tweaked to run on the vibrant. It works great except that its a battery hog. There were several attempts to place 2.2 froyo on the vibrant with full arabic support, but they all had many problems. I would recommend that you try the 2.1 port first.
The explanations are here

Hi guys new member today but been following the board for a while
Iv had my s2 for about 3 weeks and apart from the battery life am loving it
but i have 1 slight problem thats really irritating me and iv looked all over the net and cannot find a solution.
Iv moved from the blackberry platform as i love tinkering and found bb's to be too boringand iphones to be too restricted out the box
anyway i have a lot in fact most of my friends are blackberry users and a lot of our sms conversations involve the little smiley emotions which tbh i think are great
But if a bb user sends me a smiley it only shows up as the text format
I know it would only show the android verdion of the smiley on my side which would be fine but it doesnt just the plain jane text
i think from reading around it is because the bberry doesnt include the nose
is there any way around this iv tried asking the bb user to wtite the smiley in text form with the nose but it still sends without
is there any way that i can change my device to recognise it and show the emotion
iv tried the replacement sms apps but they are still the same
thanks in advance

yeah it does seem strange that the os has not been designed to allow the device to recognise emotions that are text in short without the nose
it gets rather annoying when having a text convo to have to keep replying asking what does it mean etc
even the 3rd party sms replacements dont recognise them
would be nice if you could edit each emotions to have 2 possible varients for each
If u use handcent SMS then download the Smileys pack from market or for whattsapp its built in.

i tried that but it still doesnt seem to recognise the shortened version of the smileys???
or am i doing something wrong
I've tried the Handcent smileys too and no luck either.
Yeah i didnt think it worked surely there must be a way to do this
nobody?
surely this is bugging a few more peeps as well as me

Try different dialers. There are a ton in the market. As far as I know, you can't change this behavior in the default dialer on a stock Samsung firmware.
Sounds like you want it to work like an iPhone. I'm not trying to be combative, but if that's so, why did you get rid of your iPhone?
You could always try installing MIUI, that ROM seems popular with ex-iPhone users.
The only way to get what you are talking about is to root your phone and install a custom ROM that is themed to how you like and has different mods to change things such as the dialer.These things cant be changed if they are stock.There are enough ROMs around to suit everyone.The hardest part is finding the one you like.

Take this for what it's worth... you're entering dangerous territory. You said yourself you are new to Android. Installing ROMs is not trivial, or something that should be taken lightly. I see more threads than I can count started by people who need help getting their phone working again because they blindly started flashing stuff when they really had no need.
And your only complaint at the moment is how the dialer functions. Why don't you slow down, and try out some dialer apps from the market? There are a ton of free ones. I know I suggested the MIUI ROM above, but I think this is better advice.
Lastly, ICS is still not officially released. Any ICS ROM out there right now is either based on a leak (and therefore full of bugs and is probably less than stable), or really a Gingerbread ROM themed to look like ICS.
thanks ctomgee
i try for some dialer, and i wait for official ics for s2

ICS is still in beta stage and giving advanced users problems so if you dont want to root and flash a custom ROM(GB not ICS) them maybe on the market you can find a 3rd party launcher while you wait.
Search is disabled, google didn't help, but you just might ...
I got a new SGSII through an unwanted upgrade, have stock rooted ICS 4.0.3 and found that keypad, logs, favourites are under one app 'Phone', and groups, contacts and favourites under another 'Contacts'.
An old SGSII running an older version of Litening rom my friends has, got the keypad, logs, contacts, favourites and groups all in one place.
I can't seem to change this/merge them, were the merged dailer/contacts part of the previous rom? Previous touch wiz version? Or am I being dumb and not finding the setting to have them in the same screen?
Thanks for any pointers/mocking/gtfo's etc in advance

Let's see on GB you have to click contacts from dialer
On ics you have to press menu than click contacts.
So my question is how hard/tiring is one more click?
Also you have t9....

Mate, your sarcasm meter is faulty, send it off for repairs, and while your at it get treatment for those saddle sores.
And you want to raise the question know how hard/tiring one more click per use is, and you are who exactly? how heroically pedantic. Do I tell you how the way you do things are wrong?
After you have used it in a car dock extensively, I'll think you might have half an idea of the implications, until then you obviously don't get what the difference is and just want to jump on the comment about an extra few taps, bravo
"Also you have T9...." And?

God god man, you are thicker than a 2x4 mate. :/
can't you just push the GB phone.apk into sys?
You could always install a 3rd party app like Go Contacts which comes with a dialer and have it all intergrated once again.

Thanks Aikje and Bored Stupid, proper contributions and advice
To be honest, I already had ExDialer and Contacts by the time the good Sun90 let me know it's the lay of the land with ICS. Have had a quick look at others too.
With A N Other dialers I've tried so far, you have to tap a different end of the phone, which still takes your attention away for half a second, which when crossing the A406 to get to the A1 isn't really the one, actually, anywhere in central London to be fair.
It's purely for this reason, it's the 'no look' control on the old dialer I'm after again, as I'm on the blower a lot, so am obviously evaluating other options as there could be better out there, I've only just updated to ICS so contrary to a certain peevish belief, I asked a question on a q&a forum to point me in the right direction, as the better members here of XDA know how to *cough* soap box *cough* hahahaa
Regarding the pushing of the Phone.apk, was going to be trying that tonight after backing up, it came from a custom rom and my knowledge of these things is a bit dry, so will find out if it plays nice later.
Again, thanks for the info guys
Good luck, I thought the "Black infinitum" rom(or something like that) had the combined dialer&contacts, and that is 4.0.3...
I'll try it this afternoon and give some feedback okay?
EDIT: doesn't work...

I would very much like my phone to stop converting SMS to MMS once it hits the 3x160 chars limit. I'm quite sure the previous version of this ROM based on ISC 4.0.4 had this option in menus somewhere. The 4.1.2 version does not it seems.
I read somewhere that the conversion behavior would be removed in Android 4.1.2 in general, so it would always just send long SMS, so but so far that is not me experience.
I have tried flashing the MMS.apk that is usually referred to on this and other forums, but this only makes the app split my messages into separate 160 character messages instead of sending one long SMS. That is not a good fix - it's almost worse.
As this is a low level setting somewhere in the OS, I am not sure if it would work to just flash the ICS 4.0.4 version of the MMS.apk - I'm guessing it's identical to the 4.1.2 version (more or less, if it even works at all) and you still have to find a way to toggle a hidden setting somewhere else.
I don't have enough posts to post directly in the nAa release thread, so I'm hoping someone here can help me, or bring the request into the official thread - the request being to restore/add the menu option to stop the message application from converting SMS to MMS due to size.
This is for the X10 mini pro

Bah, I take that back! This actually also just splits your long messages into separate SMS's. *sigh* :crying:
