Hello everyone.
First of all, english is not my native language so don't expect a perfect writting from me.
This is my first post, and it's about a simple modding thing that I was hopping I could find it somewhere on this forum, but unfortunatelly I lack of luck. It is not like I don't like the charging icon that appears on the notification bar on my tablet, but I find another type of mods more stylish and pretty. That's why I customed my SystemUI.apk to get this on my Android.
I used a tool from shayne77 that easily customize the battery indicator on CM9-based ROMS and original CM9 ones, so if you want to say thanks the credit its all for him.
It works specially with the Ganbarou ROM v1.00 for Galaxy Tab P7510, and it was tested by me and I hope it should work fine with yours.
I include in this post two attachments:
the ZIP file is flashable via CWM or similar recovery software.
The APK is the SystemUI.apk itself, and if you don't want to flash your rom, you can copy it with a File Explorer with Root Permissions in /system/app/.
I expect this would help someone!

Dear All Friends;
I tried to cook my roms for about 6 months, and I have some good progess, but the only thing that I can not fix is, that I could not add persian(Or arabic) language support to roms, and this is because of the nature of the languages, I do not need the roms to show any menu or anything in persian, but I want them to support the characters and show them good.
The persian need characters to be connected and written from right to left, but in any rom that you COPY just FONTS, the rom just shows the characters in not proper format.
After many researches I found that language related files are, libskia, libskiagl and webcore in libs folder, so I tried to use these libs files and copy them from A rom that support these well to my rom, but after doing this, the rom does not run properly and stoped at the HTC logo at the starting of the cellphone in HTC SPLASH SCREEN...
I do not know what should I do..
If any one knows anything about this, please help me..
Any help has been appreciated...
The way to import is:
1- Add your language ( here persian ) to System/Fonts ( maybe you need to replace with the existed fonts. )
2- In some languages (Hebrew, Arabic, Persian) you need to have the usefull LIBSKIA, LIBSKIAGL and WEBCORE in your system/libs to support the characters that you added in first step, correctly.
The problem:
I tried to add the LIBSKIA, LIBSKIAGL and WEBCORE from a rom that supports the Persian and Arabic well to this folder in my own rom that did not support those well.
BUT, After installing rom in cellphone, It did not go to HomeScreen and freezed in HTC SPLASH SCREEN that showed in rom installing time.
I do not know how can I use them, please some one help me...
And me too

Guys,
I heard from android developers that HarfBuzz (which used in chrome for complex layout) will be used in honeycomb. So most probably all the languages that Chrome/Chromium support will be supported in honeycomb. Hope some one could port this to 2.1 2.2 2.3 also. I don't know weather the source is available yet.

well i have tried that too it doesnt work
i think only 2 developers were succesful in doing that
ayman el snd in his web site ardoid .com he makes a custom .zip flashable file for each rom specifically and you are right this 2 lib files (libwebcore.so & libskia.so)are modified and also framework.jar
so its rom specific not in general
and there were an arabic developer here on xda which provided cyanogen with arabic support in his latest roms so any rom based on cyanogenmod rom latest supports arabic but limited only to messaging and you have to install smart keyboard and arabic keyboard for smart keyboard so you can write arabic
and for browser the only way to show arabic letters properly is installing persian browser which fixes the problem after each page loads
ofcourse its partial solutions
i would love to help on anyway to provide a way to custom edit the lib files of any rom just needs DEVs here to point the way how to edit such files

Thanks man...
You helped me so much..
You mentioned that those lib files that the aymen el snd made is not for a specific device, Am I Right???
It means we can use them in our roms, but how does this possible?? Each rom needs its own libs, how can we use one lib for all the devices?? (Would you please talk about it more? and which version of roms do these libs support? (2.2 ,2.1 or 2.3)

well what i'm said that he is making a .zip file for each rom release he is always up to date with new releases of roms like the OTA roms and cyanogenmod roms
you can check his website for more details of the supported devices and roms
he made a generic .zip file but that mostly doesnt work
what i have learned that he gets the lib files source code of a certain rom and then add the arabization codes then compile the lib files so the lib files would be identical to the ones in the rom + arabization snippets of code
i'm glad to help you in anyway
i really want to have more time to investigate that but i dont for now

Thanks a lot for your attention...
I saw his web page, and find what he did...
unfortunately I did not find anything for HTC Legend, so I need to do what you said myself, if I want to do this for legend..
The problem is I am programming in VB.Net not Java or C# or C++, so I am strange in codding in java for doing this...
I have to find a way to do this, find the Arabbizer Snippets...
At least, can anyone tell me, how can we open .SO files in library?? ( I mean, how can we open for example, libskia.so or ... and again repack them..??? )
and absolutely it is appreciable if anyone can help about the res-framework.apk, that which part of it should be manupulated for adding arabic/persian suuport???

hi !
First, I am really sorry for my bad english...
I just installed Metamorph in my Optimus one but I don't find metamorph theme for this !
Does somebody can help me ? Where can I find some theme ?
Thanks a lot
First - after you have installed Metamorph you should launch it to set it up. I tried different versions of Metamorph and each of them failed to set up.
Second - If you have already set up your metamorph, search in the Android General > Themes forum for MDPI device Metamorph themes (Make sure your Android version matches the targeted version of Metamorph to avoid bugs).
sorry my english not good
my phone is rooted but not up rom #
I'm using original rom of LG P500. So Can i change theme?
Please? This is my first time using android OS
The original system APKs are odexed (Which means that in order to modify them you need to modify all the files related to them, search the web for "Odexed" to get more information). That's why to theme your phone you must have a deodexed ROM because otherwise it gets complicated (And if you theme an odexed ROM you won't be able to load the Android GUI).
You should either flash a custom ROM or make your own so you can apply themes from XDA and other sites.
Hey People,
just wanted to share my Configuration of the new XWKS9 Firmware. Android 2.3.5 and Baseband KS2 ! Download it from here.
All Credits, of course, for the following go to their respective Authors/Devs !!
Please take care of the Information and be careful while flashing !
My Problem with the FW was first that it didn´t start correctly after flashing. Solution : Hold Power + Home till you get into Recovery, then Wipe everything, reboot, it will work
Once you got booted up, Power off and go into Recovery again, then flash the CF Root Adaption from here here make sure that you download the
CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b82.zip (11.95 MB)
After flash, you have the KS9 Firmware rooted and some bonus :-D
Many thanks to ketut.kumajaya for this !!!
The Language in the Rom is Dutch first. You need to go to
"Instellingen" then "Landinstelling en tekst" then "Taal selecteren" and then choose your Language.
To get Access to the System Folder of your Phone, use ES File Explorer from the Market. (Switch to "Root Explorer" and Mount System "RW" in Settings")
Now delete the Samsung Stuff you don´t want, or need. But be careful, some .apk are very essentiel and deleting them may brick your FW so you have to reflash !
A list of Files that can be deleted will follow here ! (.apk & .odex)
- Clockwidget - Deskclock - Dualclock - Forest - GenieWidget - jobmanager - Marketupdater - MyFiles - Protipps - Samsungapps - SamsungAppsUna3 - SamsungWidget_ProgramMonitor - SamsungWidget_Stockclock -Swype - syncmldm - thinkdroid
These are the Apps I don´t use, delete with caution !
Just make a Backup in Recovery (that came with the CF Root Adaption ) before you delete files, so you can easily restore your Rom !!
Browsing in XDA-Forums I found this :
The Gingerbread Keyboard, installable File from here
Thanks to hotaru for this !!!
The Stock Launcher (Touchwiz) isn´t very nice I think, my choice was GO Launcher EX from the market, you can customize so many things with it!
But I also found a nice Launcher here many thanks to claystoneinc for this !
If you don´t like the Facebook Widgets you may try this from Kamma, many thanks to him for that !! There is another one I found but havn´t tested, Screenshots do look promising ! Get it from here Thanks to ericcsonka
I am going to upload a little Collection of very useful Tools I found here in the Forum and in different Roms I used. Don´t Panic, it´s all freeware, all Files are also available trough the normal Market or from XDA Forums! If there is anything that isn´t correct please let me know !!!
I hope that this helped a little, yes I know, noone asked for it
Update : Here are the Tools Tools
I was looking to do this too. Most of the steps seems to make sense to me. Especially the list of apps to delete is useful.
One question though: Why would you install the Gingerbread keyboard seperately?
KS9 is Gingerbread right?

Yes of course it is Gingerbread but Stock comes with Swype and Samsung Keyboard only
Maybe we can collect other useful Tools here? Everybody has his own favs and I'm always thankful for new things

eventuly I needed a default set to continue my work & it wasnt untill julian sharpmen relesed ToucheXplorer 1.5.0.0 to the public that I was able to extract a default icon set . So much thanks to him & his tools as well!
I had many many tests done & every icon needed tweeking constanly I had to remake most of the icons almost 10 times before I finalty got what I wanted right alot of tryal & error
I almost gave up at one point but when you start on a project sometimes its good to not look back & just keep going because now im very happy with my phone & im very happy to beable to share with you the frutes of my labors.
I hope everone will enjoy not haveing to see those ugly white metro icon's anymore.

Full color silverlight library included in themes & accsents bult in to the os... also some custom colors I made for darker colors to be included thay are all mixable & matchable with out any color or text error when mixed,
The custom themes & accsents was a project I called project 187. I would like to thank Iszzac Johansson for his never ending help during the project.
and am very happy to say the project is compleat. sucsessfuly. after 6 months of hard working days of wrighting the registry but unfortunatly not being used in curent stable roms yet. untill a developer useing the registry setting for bulding a curent stable rom,
if you use project 187 in your rom please give credit to me jackrabbit72380 and member IzaacJ. thankx!
now what i am hoping to see is some other developer fix the problums
I cant seem to fix. & use my custom content in a new stable uptodate rom.
if anyone can post screen shots please do!
i have not alot of time atm. for show off of the rom.
also i will make a bug list and list of curent planed fixes and todo's & also eventuly fix spellign and gramer mistakes in post! =)
The only reason I say the rom is not stable is because I personaly have experianced some rebooting issues. although it may be because im useing a class2 sandisk micro sd card but im not sure,
you hay not have this issue only time will tell.
Feal free to make some mirrors on other sites and i will post em hear okay! Hopefuly in the future I will have an even more stable up to date version.

Hi All,
I wonder if any of you wonderful talented Android Guru's out there can help me with a ROM issue. I found an amazing rom for my device, however it's one developed a one man band Chinese fella... And of course, natural language is Chinese.
This, I believe I can change easily in Build.Prop file, however the Keyboard is also some Chinese App... cross between BingIme.apk and there was another App name on a different ROM. I want to make these ROMs clean / / pure English based....
Can you advice me how to do this please?? What Apps maybe needed? Do I have to sign the ZIP when finished or just exiting/saving the ZIP is fine...?? Also, can I delete Apps (or even an entire folder).
As I have had a go at this, however flashing the Zip resulted in an error... and failed to Flash!!!
Is there an App (either Desktop, or Android APK) that can make these changes, or package up my alterations after I flashed the Chinese rom...??
Thanks, Lister
