hey guys, I made backup for stock rom from recovery and then installed marina rom but it doesn't support Arabic language so I wanted to get back to the old rom so I went to recovery to restore the old stock rom and when it finished restoring the phone restarted and it looks as stock rom with my apps but it's still the marina rom in the settings and keep crashing and force close so it did nothing
I have tried to restore older one or install other roms and try to restore my stock rom but still the same
and also tried to use one touch upgrade tool q but it keeps showing network error
and I couldn't find stock rom 2.3.4 middle east version support Arabic
so if any one can help me to find me stock 2.3.4 Arabic version please and sorry for my bad English
at least someone tell me how to add Arabic language to gb 2.3.4 rom I'm running 2.3.4 ice cream theme rom
thnx

Sounds like you backed up the wrong partition.

I don't know but i went to recovery then backup & restore and I made full backup I don't know any other way
I can flash any rom but with no Arabic support I'm running a very good rom it's ice cream theme rom based on 2.3.4 gb if you even know how to add Arabic language to it I would be very thankful it's read and write Arabic but with single letters I think may be because it needs to start from right to left!
Thanks

Completely different thought: most custom roms have Developer Options. One toggle is "Force RTL (right to left) layout." Maybe try using that to see if that works.

Hi all, i'm using Froydvillian, and have applied both the Samsung Galaxy and Mininmal Matt ports which have been ported over for this specific ROM, and for some reason, on both, the drop down notification menu and the taskbar at the top are staying standard.
Both work when i wipe the device from recovery then flash, but once i restart the phone the problem occurs again!!!! why is this happening!! please reply asap as i'm going on holiday in 3 days and wish for this to be resolved.
Thanks in advance,

Not sure what you mean here. Did you flash one theme over another? Also, to undo themes, a wipe isn't enough. You need to fully reflash the stock ROM to get rid of themes.
Also, after installing a theme, don't install another over it unless you fully reflash the ROM again.
Thanks for the quick reply what i mean is, i flashed The latest Froydvillian ROM, and have been using it for a few days. However, when i downloaded and flashed the Samsung Galaxy theme for it, certain aspects of the theme didn't work, such as the notification pull down menu, and the taskbar at the top. They both stayed standard with the later text or symbols, but the colours and design was not the them.
I found out if i boot into recovery and wipe all settings, then flash the theme it works correctly, however if i reboot the phone it reverts back to the mismatched and ugly theme!
I have encountered this problem many times *zeik* it's so stupid! Anyways for my themes it worked for me to modify the update-script so it deletes the files before copying (since you probably have no idea what i'm talking about copy/paste it and PM the developer xD). I am very bussy right now so I can't do it but I'm sure the themer will do it for you (it's a very simple task)
After all the awesome help from devs and users here, I've figured out the process of rooting my m250s. Now, I HATE touchwiz, so I decided to try and load a ROM that I could enjoy to get away from the stock ROM.
My problem is that when I loaded a new ROM (in this case it was MIUI latest GS2 ROM), I lose all data (let me rephrase, I lose all mobile network data, wifi still works). It shows full bars for phone calls, but the actual data connection is gone. When I go into the about phone section it shows baseband as M250S.EI21, which isn't wrong (although the latest baseband should be EJ04).
Does anyone know of a way to fix the data connection so I can still connect to the data towers but use a I9100 ROM (instead of having to modify the ROMs every time I install one, which I have no idea how to do)?
Thanks for your help guys, so far I've been very happy with all the resources XDA is providing, especially for a korean device.
i'm not sure about this but since your baseband is still saying m250s i'm guessing you haven't changed your kernel yet. try installing an miui compatible kernel(i suggest siyah) then try connecting again.

If hate for Touchwiz is your reason to install ROM, why dont you try custom Launchers instead of installing a whole new ROM? There are very good launchers like Go Launcher EX, AW Launcher, Launcher Pro etc. Try them, once you get bored of these launchers, go for ROMs.

Good point, but I really like the interface of MIUI. If I can't get this to work then I will probably go ahead and resort to different launchers and try to find other things to use instead. Thanks.

I will try that now, once I find it. Thanks.
OK, so I went back to MIUI, installed the siyah kernel beforehand, and it's still the same problem. Also, if I type in any of the "secret codes" and hit dial it says:
"USSD code dial..." then goes straight to "Connection problem or invalid MMI code"
Also, calls still work, so it's definitely just data that's broken right now...
Kernel is NOT repeat NOT baseband .
Baseband= MODEM
CSC = Country specific and network codes .Or set network APN manually .
Modem and CSC for your region should be found and flashed or flash full stock correct region firmware .

Funny story... My APN reset after the rom install.... once I reset the apn settings everything worked. xD
I love the REAL ICS.. I'm on r3.1 cause i am waiting for the r4 release without facebook problem..
For those who wants to try.. Why should i choose this rom:
1. Because this rom is based on official firmware of sony (jellybean)
2. If you're not a custom roms lover, you should love this rom also! (HAHA) Because it's like official firmware too, but smoother, got walkman player, etc!
3. The features and interfaces are greater than the official!

Excuse me kido.. its based on sony official ics.
How's the gaming performance of realICS?
MIUI for me
Sent from my SK17i using xda premium
The rom looks awesome, just a shame I can't install it on my locked st17i.
Ok, i flashed to ics real lite v1.1 and am using rage kernel. Its a clean install and didnt use any backups. I only restored my contacts via memory card backup and messeges via sms backup app. This is on the mini pro.
My problem is sometimes when i get a call, i get a black screen. I press the power button to turn my screen on then i unlock my screen then answer the call. When i do that i get an error bout "com.android.phone" not responding. Whenni click ok, my prone drops the call and i cant even see the caller via call log, its so frustrating. Ive read around and ppl suggested i delete a few messages from "reject call with message", but i cant find a delete command in there. Secondly, there was this suggestion about clearing the contacts cache and stuff via app manager. This only deleted my whole contact list and was never able to get it back till i did a reinstall of the rom. I dont use facebook or some other app, my setup is bone dry basic, i only use sms backup app.
I also tried using another rom, the full version of real ics v4, still nothing. Any help would be appreciated as i really like this rom.

I also got that error when flashing back to gingerbread to root it then to ICS so it shouldn't be a problem with Real ICS, I know repairing the phone fixed it one time but I also think flashing it and wiping data also worked, flashing it and not wiping didn't though.
yeah, i tried wiping dalvik, cache, format, etc. it still isnt fixed. im gonna try fixing permissions next.
Hi there,
I installed custom ROM on my Lenovo S890 phone, which works great and has all I need. But there is this problem (similar like in this post forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125812). When I try wake up the phone from standby mode, all I see is a dark screen with vertical stripes of several colors all over it. I can however set volume and even the display responses after pushing buttons it vibrates. So it works, but the screen is broken.
When I install original ROM, everything works fine. But when I install any of these custom ROMs found on needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/s890/ I have the same issue with the screen.
Does anyone had similar issue with his phone? I'm currently trying to fix this problem with software jBART v0.7.9 - I decompiled the original ROM that works fine and also decompiled the custom ROM I want to fix. Then I'm trying to copy files from original to custom ROM, hoping somehow I overwrite possibly broken files and everything should work afterwards.
Any help or advice is welcome
So little update:
I am still experiencing the same problem. On official chinese ROM it works fine (but chinese ROM is not useful at all for me). I installed 6 custom ROMs and on each of them I have this same problem with screen.
I discovered, that the problem is not instant - when I wipe all data and make brand new installation of ROM, first thing that pops up is Settings wizard (the app from Google where you select language, enter your gmail account etc). And while in this app, the screen lock works fine!
After I am done with settings and exit this wizard, the home screen loads. And then the problem with black screen starts.
Now, I tried to delete default launcher.apk and replaced it with 4 different, but the problem is still the same at the same point. So while I am at the settings it's ok, after I am finished with settings and exit the app, it brokes.
Does anyone have any idea, where the problem could be?
I recently bought this phone, and I am searching for many hours to find out how to flash a custom ROM. I found some instructions in bad english, I found ROMs with missing files or with with problem in unzipping, I found drivers that I need to install but do not seem to get installed, etc etc.
I am very confused and I am afraid to do something that I am not sure of, because I may brick my phone.
WellBloud_cz, please tell me the steps to install a custom ROM (in brief, I am not a computer newbie) and then I will tell you if I have the same problem on the screen.

Hi, first of all - do you really need to flash custom ROM? Is there anything wrong with your current ROM? You have to consider all the facts, if it's worth the trouble. If you want install custom ROM, just because it looks cooler, you can install different launcher/change theme etc. If you have serious problem with your current ROM, like it does not work like you want, then I suggest you try diferrent ROMs...
If you still want to install custom ROM, then
backup everything everytime!
if you can switch your phone to recovery mode, install from recovery mode - you can download a .zip file containing ROM (you can try some from needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/s890/
after the installation make sure everything works properly, so you don't have to debug for a year (for example - I recently discovered that battery didn't last even for a single day... After close inspection I manage to fix it - the media app was the problem, it used all of phone's energy, so I have to restart it and then everything is fine and battery holds up to 3,5 days)
if you can't install from recovery mode, try flashing your phone with Flash tools - make sure you have good recovery mode included (like TWRP)
then you have 2 options - either install via recovery mode .zip files or flash whole new ROM on your phone via Flash tools
if you success, make sure you can set your IMEI - otherwise you can't send messages and make no phone calls. If you have IMEI set to some nonsense like 123456789, then download and use MtkDroidTools v245, where you can root your phone and also change your IMEI numbers
also make sure that the ROM you are installing is in your favorite language. If not, you can use More locale app, which translates most of the content. If you want, you can make your own translations with jBart, but it's long process
lastly check if ROMs have Google play, because majority of apps can be downloaded from there

If you have more questions, be more specific

Unfortunatelly I did not solve it, but i got rid of it by simply finding another ROM and installing it instead. What I actually did - downloaded original chinese ROM and installed it. Everything on it worked, so I modified it and now it's almost perfect

Hello,
please help me with my S3 ( I9300 ).
Since 8 days I´m encountering a strange behaviour with my S3.
I assume it hast to do with partitions and / or false use of TWRP.
I´ve already flashed numerous times with different phones and recoveries and odin. I Never had any issues before.
Discription : Wiping partitions by recovery does not seem to work. When installing a new rom by TWRP or CWM I end up with two mingeld systems and old apps or I have a clean system but there are absolutely no widgets. When formatting system with TWRP / CWM I sometimes get an error "
I´ve already installed JB stocfirmware with odin with pitfile, repartition and nand erase and that system worked. Fusion rom KK worked too ( installed through recovery ).
But installing omnirom lollipop failed again. Resetting through android factoryreset left my with a clean system but with no widgets at all again.
WTF is going on ?
I think it all started when I used TWRP and did the "fix permission " thing. But I´m not sure there.
I can´t pinpoint what makes installing a rom fail or work . Pehaps I need to completly delete all partitions and rebuild my S3 from scratch ?
Slimkat and Fusionrom ( both KK ) worked at one time and Fr can be restored by TWRP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!!!!!!!!
I just want to be able to try out new roms without running into these problems again.
@Skyfire1:
1. Missing widgets aren't caused by corrupt partitions.
2. FacoryReset from settings maybe not executed correctly in connection with TWRP - reset from TWRP.
3. Try another LP-ROM, if there are still errors.
Thank you. Then what causes the missing Widgets effect? Installing Slimkat worked one time and then again not the other time ? Maybe I have ore than one problem ?
@Skyfire1: I didn't saw/read anything about this. Test gradually. Make shure that JB-Firmware +TWRP 2.8.6.1 work correctly (download all files freshly to avoid fe 9305-choice). Then try a slim LP-ROM, fe Euphoria whithout GApps or other apps (SlimROM is outdated atm) .
Installed euphoria by twrp and no widgets again. But they are there , they just don`t show when using appdrawer button. Longpress on screen makes them available. Is this just a change in Android or what ? I´d feel pretty stupid if that was all
@Skyfire1: I usually don't use stock launcher, but shall flash the actual build from today and will look at your issue.
To whom it concerns: on HomeScreen long tap opens the available widgets. Long tap on a widget and move to place it on HomeScreen.

I knew about that. It´s only that I never used that method. I always went to the appdrawer and swiped to the right...
When that didn´t work anymore and the problems with the wiping occured I thought it to be one problem with different effects.
So everything seems to be fine again . I`ll do some testing and flashing .
What I learned from this is that wiping may or may not work and that changes in behaviour of the launcher can have more than one reason.
Thanks a lot for all your help!!!!
