Language Add on to OMGB (Dutch) - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General

Hello there,
I can't post in developer thread, but this is for de OMGB nand.
The OMGB nand is the only one which actually works on my RHOD100. With de GB*** nand when my screen goes black it stays black until i reseat the battery
Anyway, there was one thing I didn't like so much on OMGB. It only has the English language in it.
I tried to use MoreLocal2, but that just makes other apps work in my language (not the system apps).
I downloaded the full apk files from another nand and did some decompile, copy (language map) and compile actions on (most) system apps.
Added this apk's in an update zip file and loaded that from Recovery. Now my phone talks the same language as me :victory:
Maybe other dutch people would like this, so I'll attache it here.
Edit: File is 14 MB so I can't attache it here... Let me know when your interested...
One sidenote: the Launcher2.apk is updated too, so you'll need to put your icons and widgets back in place, because they will all be gone after this update. Maybe you can backup and restore, but I havn't tried that.
I didn't see any other problems with it, but always backup before you try any update! :good:

Sounds like some good work. I would like to see the work you did. I am trying to get Hebrew working on the physical keyboard with TouchPal keyboard, which supports Hebrew. There is an other keyboard app, AnySoftKeyboard, which does work fully. I am using the latest NAND from a few weeks ago.

Hi there,
I don't know if my work can help you with that...
With the keyboard I didn't do anything.
What I did was:
- Decompile all system APK's from the nand rom to a folder (folder1)
- Decompile all system APK's from anaother rom (same android version) to a folder (folder2)
- Copy all language files from the APK's from folder2 to folder1 (in the right place of course).
- Recompile all (modified) system APK's from folder1.
- Create an update package to install the modified APK's.
At this point you can set Android to use the language ypu added.
I found a procedure to do this somewhere on this forum, but I didn't save it to my favorites.
So you have to find it by yourself

Thanks! Doesn't help me directly, but makes such mods sound easy enough to give a shot at.

Remapped keyboard issues in 2.1

Ok, I rooted and remapped the keyboard, and ti works fine, however, in order to get rid of the ugly language bar in landscape mode, I unchecked "default input settings" in the settings and.... they keyboard started acting as finnish/swedish again! When I checked "default input settings" - it reverted to normal. Is there any other file to edit?
ive got teh same problem
hmm since its still trying to grab qwerty-se-fi....what if we replace that with the qwerty-en.xml.
nope no dice
Any other ideas where the keyboard layout might be hiding?
if you uncheck the default input, the system uses the qwerty.kcm.bin file in /system/usr/keychars folder.
to get that replaced by the english layout you have to copy the qwerty-en.kcm.bin file from the /system/usr/keychars/mimmi/keyprints folder up into the /system/usr/keychars folder and save it as the qwerty.kcm.bin file.
i have read this somewhere on the x10 forum. i can't find the topic at the moment.
as i mentioned in another thread, the paths are from android 1.6. they might be different on 2.1.

You didn´t understand. This is easy, and everyobody does it. The problems start when you untick the default entry method in keyboard properties. Read carefully first post.
any updates?

I downgraded to 1.6 German and will wait for official release. Having a Swedish layout on a German keyboard using English for typing is too much for my poor brains. Meanwhile since you ar on 2.1 can you check the idea below?

I strongly suspect that this file will be the same in 1.6 . So what I will try to do - save this file from a german version of 1.6, flash nordic, and install the file from german version.
PS - tested it works.
great!works!
thanks everyone!
@magizhang...where'd you get the en layout?

Don´t forget that we will have to repeat this monkey business after every upgrade!
On the other note - I see here people of all nations, from all corners of the world rapidly and efficiently working together and solving all kinds of problems and I ask myself why it doesn´t happen offline in the real life. Makes me really sad.

Thanks. But you do know a way to fix arabic support? Eventhough I can chose arabic, the letters are detached.
Thanks
I applied the following to AmeriCanAndroid r3.06 and it worked for me. Try it and tell us if it works for other roms.
For Arabic letters messing up at the beginning of some words check out the following links that fixed the problem for me. Just follow the instructions carefully and good luck.
Arabizer files: (You will need to recopy these files after each rom update)
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=300641
Then install any Arabic supported keyboard of your choosing. MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard with the Arabic plugin is my favorite at the moment but this one is also good:

Thanks man. But i was not able to push those files for some reason. I had root.
Any idea of a flashable ZIP or maybe a simple APK?
Before I continue please note that I had nothing to do with the development of any of these or other files. I just found them and they worked on my device to fix the discussed problem. Therefore the best advice you can get would come directly from the developers of the files themselves.
That being said, I will describe what I did in order to get them to work for me.
1) follow the link to the ce4arab website (in my previous post) and register (free) in order for the download files to be visible and downloadable. Note: website is completely in Arabic.
2) Download and extract the 3 files in the compressed file. When you extract the files they will be in folders that refer to the exact folders to be moved to on the phone's root. For example root/system/framework/framework.jar
3) Running Android, connect your HD2 to the computer and copy these files to the phone's SD card (doesn't really matter where). Then disconnect your device.
4) Now run Root Explorer (download from the market or somewhere else) which will enable you to move these 3 files from your SD to the phone's root. Each file goes to the specific folder on the root. Note: Just to be on the safe side, I backed up my existing root files (just copied them somewhere on the SD card) before I overwrote them with these modified files.
5) Now reboot and install your preferred Arabic enabled keyboard.
Note: after any rom update you will need to repeat this procedure again.
Thanks goes out to all the great developers for this great device.
Ya I know that, but I simply wasnt able to move the file using root explorer because there was already existing files and for some reason, I was not able to overwrite the files (although I have root).
Thanks anyways.
I really don't know why you are unable to overwrite the files. The only thing I can think of is that Root Explorer doesn't have superuser permission on your device. So it is stopping you from overwriting system files. Different roms deal with this differently so first try the general superuser permission fixes (google these) and if that doesn't work, include the name of the rom you are using into your google search words. I am running AmeriCanAndroid 3.06 and Root Explorer was granted superuser permission automatically. So I am guessing that your rom handles this differently.
Note: Superuser is an app that enables you to grant special permissions to specific apps. It should be in your app tray.

Help with simple update.zip - Edify Scripting

HI Guys, i wan´t to replace contacts.apk, mms.apk and a few more. I tried several times to replace them with update.zip (i'm rooted, with CWM). always with error (tried first with amenda and then with edify). Could you please help me? I totally lost.
I attach the .apk's i want to include in update.zip
Thanks in advance!
Ok, finally i did it in a very silly and easy way actually. Just replace .apk's with Android Commander using PC.
Results in attached images
Anibody know why are the second original dock icons on S2?
I dont know where you got the apks from but if they came from a certain ROM then the theme from that ROM comes incluced with them.When I downloaded a different dialer for my black/blue themed ROM the phone and contacts icons also changed cos the theme from the dialers ROM changed them.

installing keyboards

I have the latest Euphoria (RC2.1) on my vibrant. I want to install the old samsung keyboard. I found the apk (axt9IME.apk) however trying to install it using a file explorer I get the "application not installed" message.
I want to use this particular keyboard as I can swipe the space key to switch languages quickly. I tend to type in both English and Arabic in the same sentence a lot.
Also, I would like to install the Experia keyboard. This is the only keyboard I like with a spell tip for the Arabic language. This is also important for me.
I don't know if I have the proper file, but I tried to install "textinput-tng.apk" and got the same problem as above.
Does anyone know what the proper way to install these keyboards is? Doc Master ICS rom has the samsung keyboard and I really miss it! However, it seems too buggy for me.
a
Also I forgot to add for the word prediction to work, is there any associated file/apk to transfer? I also have the Experia Arc and have access to all the files on it of course.
I just wanted to update that I found a flashable version of the stock Samsung keyboard with the Arabic language files. Flashing this .zip file worked.
However, that still doesn't answer the question of why didn't the .apk install, even after moving to /system/app and changing the permissions.
I need to learn this if I am to install the Sony keyboard, unless I can find a flashable version with the Arabic files (which I haven't so far)

[Q] v1.4.3 and Framework_res.apk

I know that I ask a lot of questions, some of them just a bit bonehead. I really appreciate everyones help here.
So, I finally for 1.4.3 running, rooted it, restored my backup from titanium backup. I have noticed, however, that when Installed my custom resources like SystemUI.apk and framework_res.apk there are a few little bugs here and there in the text it displays...
For instance, when you hit the menu button and it displays the block of buttons for some apps (like ADW / ADW EX and Titanium Backup) the arrow that used to say "More" now says "Allows the Application to set an alarm in an" and then it trails off. Obviously this is a mistake, probably they changed some reference between files in the framework folder. Additionally, the "Set as Default" now displays a bunch of %'s and letters as if, again, some reference is bad.
I like running the current software, these are minor issues. I'm sure they can be fixed, just not sure how. I was kind of stupid and didn't make a backup of my original framework_res.apk and SystemUI.apk files from the Nook after I updated but before I replaced them. Stupid of me, I know. I assumed from the file dates that nothing was changed. So, I can't really go back to the originals until I get it sorted out.
Anyone have any suggestions? If perhaps someone who has updated to 1.4.3 could send me those two files so I could make the mods myself on the new APK files? I'm almost positive it is framework_res.apk that is the culprit.
Does anyone have framework_res.apk from v1.4.3?

You can just get the full 1.4.3 update zip from B&N yourself, unpack the zip, and it's all there: http://su.barnesandnoble.com/nook/nooktablet/1.4.3/nZU6wA3e3CCckqXRQI6gqoT0ZKAA8MujlFdXFU08/nooktablet_1_4_3_update.zip

To my knowledge you can't just unpack them anymore, I tried and I just got a large archive file that I didn't have anything to decompress. Do you know what program to use to unpack the archive inside the zip?

I believe it is '7zip' to the rescue.
Finally got it... Now trying to figure out how to modify it, the contents are a lot different...
