I appreciate the work being done by gohma rom
i unlock bootloader ,root my g watch
and i use the command： dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p19.img bs=4096
i pull the system.img to \sdcard and copy to pc
g watch doesn't support my language ，any one can tell how can i extract the “system.img”
and add my hometown language package to g watch？
i have already installed root explorer to g watch ,can i just copy and overwrite some original files to add language？

It isn't that easy... there isn't just a language Apk for every language... when the source code comes out, you could do some research on how to translate the WHOLE android wear OS... and if you choose to do that, good luck to you. In other words, not possible yet.

How can I removed Japanese IME on Alapha 2 ?
Where can I find the Android ICS keyboard apk and install on Alapha 2 ?
Thanks !
I'm not sure about Alpha2 running a Japanese IME, but the easiest way I can see to switch back to an English (quote Western-based) IME is to look in one of the zips for the file /system/app/LatinIME.apk, and push that into your /system/app folder on your Tablet, then reboot. If you want to remove the Japanese one, find the apk that has to do with it (should be something like /system/app/JapaneseIME.apk - not sure though, since I don't have one), and then delete it. I use Terminal Emulator and just su to get root, but you can use Root Explorer or any other File Manager program that has root access.
Hope that helps.

Hey guys,
I'm kinda new here and I have no idea if I posted this in the right section..
Today I made the decision to root my phone 'cause I want to extend my battery life, for some reason it didn't occure in my mind to make a backup (I'm retarded I know..) and now I broke my keyboard.
I wanted to install the Swype Beta and saw on a forum you had to delete the old swype first. So I used the Terminal Emulator and deleted Swype.apk and my keyboard flipped.
Now I don't have a keyboard any more and for some reason I also can't change to the default keyboard..
I tried installing Swype Beta using copy and paste (for the inlogscreen etc.) but when I try to download the application it gives me a parse error...
I hope you guys can help me!
Thanks in advance

I didn't change my rom (so far as I know).
I followed a short tutorial on youtube how to root a Galaxy Ace, and that's all I did. So (I guess) I'm still runing TouchWiz 3.0
Go to settings->about phone->*Scroll down and see firmware version tell me that
and I will make u a flashable zip to fix it

I use android 2.3.5 !
Would you also be so kind to give me a mini tutorial how to install that zip?
Or is it just the same as rooting the phone?

Bit different...Depends on the guy who writes the fix.If he has mounted the system in the updater script but its better to mount system anyway because the updater script doesnt mount system sometimes.
Here is the zip sorry I don't have 2.3.5 only 2.3.3,2.3.4,2.3.6,2.3.7 so I tried 2.3.4 keyboard....
download
http://www.mediafire.com/?0b9ftgzqzwt4wqg
About telling u how to make it....
What the zip does
Pushes the apk into system/app
What u need to do
go into META-INF/com/google/android and open updater-script.file (Wordpad will do)
Then insert this code
Code:
ui_print("Installing");
run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
show_progress(1, 15);
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/umount", "/system");
ui_print("Done!");
What everything means
ui_print: desplays custom text in recovery
run_program:runs something in this case it mounts something
show_progress:Shows a statbar that is out of 15 movements and starts at 1
pakage_extract_dir: extracts the folder "system" to your phones system folder in root
But
Just that code won't work remember it has to extract an apk...
the code says that it will extract the system folder so there has to be a folder named system in the root of your zip
and u want to extract the apk to system/app so in your system folder there should be and app folder with the apk in
Ok thats it
If my zip fails copy your keyboard from your rom named "AxT9IME.apk" (in system/app) to my zip in system/app (replace my apk)
If all else fails reflash your rom via odin
GOOD LUCK
Well mate if swype is gone, the samsung keypad is still there. Try this, Long press and hold in any typing window, like the space where you type message. A menu will appear asking for input method, and select samsung keypad. Or you need to flash zip as the guys are already telling you.
Just use open up Terminal on your desktop (If you use Linux) and type:
cd /home/[YOURNAME]/[WHEREVER YOUR APK IS]
adb start
adb devices
adb push [APKFILENAME] /mnt/sdcard
adb kill
exit
Then on your phone, use a file manager, and open the keyboard APK.
Be aware that everything has to be case sensitive.

I have a samsung note 3 sprint smn900p
I want to translate the system apks like framework-res.apk and secsettings.apk
then I found one of my friend has a same mobile note 3 sprint already translated and same android version 4.4.2
so I copy all of his files completely ( all system files and system apks ) around 2 GB .
and I make a backup of my system using TWRP recovery .
and now I try to install his framework-res.apk , so I copy it to my sdcard and using rootexplore then change the permissions to R-W-R-R and paste the framework-res.apk file to the system/framework folder and it already replaced the old framework-res.apk with the new framework-res.apk which already translated . but the problem I dont see that the mobile make upgrading for the new apk so I go to the new framework and try to install it from rootexplorer but always get a message app not installed.
I change the mount to RO then RW but nothing change only app not installed.
so how to install the new framework-res.apk ?
my second question, can I make a new rom using my friends complete system files and flash it to my mobile ?
thank you

What language are you trying to get that's not already built into the phone? For future reference, it is best to change the framework via recovery, if at all.
I want to get arabic language on my mobile.
and the 4.4.2 stock rom delete many languages on it so even morelocal app cant add any language.

You might as well flash a custom ROM for it. Or you will have to replace every singe files on the device as they all have ref to other languages. Yes they remove alot of them. Like my device doesn't even have that option and none I have used have, they have all needed alot of work and none work completely.

I have all of the system apks that are already translated from another same mobile.
and I want to change the original system apks with these system apks that are already translated like ( framework-res.apk, secsettings.apk, mms.apk, phone.apk )
so my question how to install the translated system apks ?
my mobile already rooted and has a TWRP recovery. first for a test I try to replace a framework-res.apk only to the system/framework and it succeed, but the problem the phone not doing reboot automatic and upgrade the new framework.
I try to install it from the root explorer but it says app is not installed .
so my question how to install the translated system apks ?
someone suggest me to make a full backup using custom recovery from the mobile that already translated and make a restore it to my mobile , can it be done ? is this way is correct ? because it will be very easy .
So I bought this little phone and I was baffled that there are so few language options to select.
The phone is for my father (the english evades him) therefore I need my mother language on it.
Phone Version XT1021
OS:
Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.20.11.14.condor_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.en.03 Updated to 4.4.4, rebuilt in a deodexed ZIP file, and a system.img file
Ho needs it, I can upload it, I have either the update.zip or system/boot img files.
What I tried:
I tried to recompile the framework-res, system and other 15~20 apps, on some it worked on some it did not.
I am using the Nexus 5 translations files
On those that worked I managed to activate them by using a morelocale app from market and the translations work just fine.
On systemUI.apk I am getting force close
On framework-res.apk the phone freezes.
How I decompile/recompile and test the apps.
1) Decompile the app
2) Add the new values
4) Recompile
5) Copy the new app created app and the original one in a folder.
6) Open both apps
7) Drag and drop the resources.asrc file in the original apk and when you are asked how would you like to compress the file, I select STORE (I use winrar)
So if anyone managed to edit the framework app, systemUI and he is kind to share how he did it without getting any bootloops and force close, I would be very appreciative.
Now, regarding the boot.img
I tried to unpack it, using the classic method, it unpacks ok, the problem is on repacking,
Is there a special tool to do it or what ?
Why do i need
I need the adb.secure to be 0, and also the security off, so I can be able to use ADB REMOUNT and monitor adb logcat since the device starts. and also to be able to push apps to system using adb.
So, ho has the information and he is kind to share ?
here is the proper way to decompile and recompile the apk in a proper way
1. Make sure you have the latest version of the apktool
2. install the framework (try using 4.4.2 framework if 4.4.4 one gives error)
3. Decompile make changes
4. Choose option compile system app in apktools
5. now when it asks to delete all the things you have modified then delete the res and resources.arsc file and if you have made any smali changes delete the classes.dex too
6. go back to script and press enter
7. now open both MODIFIED APK and UNMODIFIED APK and then DRAG AND DROP androidmanifest.xml and meta inf from UNMODIFIED TO MODIFIED APK
8. push it and set rw-r-r permission
and if you are getting the error unable to remount then install adb insecure app by chainfire
thats it
happy modding
any help comment below by quoting or mentioning my name(i get notification so that i can give quick responce )

I managed to add the language using your method, only with one mention, I think on framework you have to select STORE when you add the file to the archive.

Can you elaborate? Is it a feature for a special keyboard or something? It might have something to do with a system apk or something that has the same name and it sees it as an update.. Sometimes you'd just need more foreign framework in order for stuff to run. But more details please, maybe we can make it work.. Try and install the Huawei keyboard first..
I have no experience with Swype or different keyboards, I don't even use the dictionary.. Uhh, so.. Yeah. I just installed CyanogenMod's e-mail on my Alpha and in order for Exchange to work, I needed to delete Samsung's exchange services apk and their e-mail. Maybe you need to find all the Huawei apps that's needed for the Swype to run.

I rather show u ..
I like it so much .. more than swift ..
I tried this method below but dont know exact commands .. this is for S5 but we dont have sdcard so dont know which command should put there bcos says no such file or directory.. (that second method .. have no idea first method cos dont know which app he using.. and am not buyin paid apps !!
Method 1- Using Root Explorer.
These are the steps:
1. PLACE THE APP ON THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD.
2. USE ROOT EXPLORER AND COPY THE APP FROM SD CARD TO SYSTEM/APP
3. MOUNT R/W AND LONG CLICK ON THE COPIED APP.
4. SELECT CHANGE PERMISSIONS.
5. MAKE SURE THAT OPTIONS ARE TICKED IN THE SHAPE OF AN INVERTED "L" , WITH 2 TICK MARKS IN THE FIRST ROW AND 3 TICK MARKS IN THE FIRST COLUMN.
6. RESTART YOUR PHONE.
7. DONE!
Method 2- Using Terminal Emulator
Type (with exact spacing):
su
[enter]
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
[enter]
cp /sdcard/app.apk /system/app
[enter]
then follow steps 3-7 from method 1
I think i need to change this command cp /sdcard/app.apk /system/app
as alpha doesn't have sdcard ..

Can you link me the ROM you took the file from? I would very much like to unpack it and look at the applications. Then I'll get back to you. I need more applications from Huawei to look at. I just need the stock rom from Huawei.
