Hero ROM v. 2.73.405.5 officially released (SE)

And there it is:
http://www.htc.com/se/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=671&news_id=254
So apparently it's the same build as modaco uses for his ROMs.

Good news!
But then how to download the update without a serial?

I imagine this will not work with Orange/T-Mobile branded phones?

Is there any diference between the final and the leaked one?

Is anyone able to download it and stick it on Rapid/Mega/Fileshare please?
whh wouldn't it work on the T-Orange devices?

PS: Not if it matters, since it's a "Nordic" release, but just exchange "SE" for "NO" for the Norwegian webpage.
Doing the dirty right now, can't wait for it to be installed.

*Doh*, the readme provided is in doc format, so have to download a reader.. Looking forward to the update though!

Tried to download and it wont let me (my Hero is generic HTC) so i guess they have a regionalised serial number database.
Only a guess :s

Do you have a deep link for the EXE?
It doesn't like any IMEI I give it.

Is this one working for Nordic only?

from the swedish Android Forum
"Called for support, this update is wrong. Do not download! Will update tomorrow and then you can download it. Missing an important piece in the ROM which makes telen unusable if you install under Support"
http://www.swedroid.se/forum/showthread.php?t=2073&page=2

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does the fact that this is the Nordic update create any problems for users in other countries/languages? Or will it have English language etc and can easily be installed by English users?

I did wonder why the download has a) disappeared but b) it's a WWE and not a NOR ROM.
Their reasoning seems unlikely tho...

It works 100% for me.
Previous was stock ROM, just rooted. Hadn't touched the radio either.
Both phone and radio ROM is now updated.
I use English language (and keyboard) with Norwegian dictionary.

No problem here either....Stock rom, non rooted.

I got official Arabic support for Desire, how can i help ?

Hello all,
i joined this forum to help me decide which mobile to buy and i bought in the end the awesome Desire.
I am from Egypt so i bought it from there , it was released here on second of October.
it has built-in Arabic support in text input window, it doesn't show in the normal keyboard input screen but to activate Arabic language i need to do the following which i got in a reply from htc support here in Egypt
Hold & long press at any empty space of text input box, you will see a message to change input keyboard.
Select the other input method & press ok.
You will see the Arabic keyboard.

i want to help in making Android more popular, in the middle east, and since Google refuse to release official support for Arabic, i guess the only way i can do that by offering my mobile to you to see if we can extract the Arabic support plugin/software and be able to install it on any android based mobile.
i used to be a power user in Symbian but now i am a newbie in android so anyone interested in helping me ?
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.

Ahmad

Salam Ahmad,
Sorry to bust your bubble bro....
But I have already rooted that ROM (leaked) and added A2SD+ 2 months ago

Froyo with Arabic support would be a great plus!

Nice job
But what i want is to be able to extract the Arabic addon and be able to add it to any other ROM
like for example i want very much to instal the Desire HD Rom on my Desire but i will be missing the arabic support
So i am looking for help to extract the arabic support addon and be able to install it freely
is this even possible ?

Hi
Maybe you should be in contact with this guy (Ayman): http://ardoid.com/?p=41
He added Arabic support to Froyo (but of course with some bugs), maybe you could help.

the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Sorry, can't help you with the keyboard, but am very happy to hear that we will finally be getting Froyo - in November???
HTC would not give me a date when I asked!
Salaam.

Guys i found the arabic support intalled inside the Application Manager ad it is named "Arabic Keyboard" and it is version 2
is it possible by any mean to extract the apllication to be able to install it on any other HTC or even Android mobile ??

Look for the .apk under system/app/ and data/app/, it will be there. Then pull it using adb when you're in Recovery. I can try and push that apk on mine and see if it works.
Arabic support should entail more than that though but a keyboard that even just writes would be very helpful to me too.

- HTC Desire via XDA App -

sorry but i am still a newbie regadring android
Can you please tell me what is adb and how to enter recovery ???

Hi,
You can get the .apk file with easy way. Install Androzip from the market, open it, it will show directly the files on SD card. Press the arrow up in the menu to leave SD card and navigate to system files. Open system folder : System -->> app -->> here you have all .apk files
Hold & long press on the .apk file you want, -->> copy, you can see now 2 new options in the menu, cancel and copy here.
Go now to home in the menu and you can paste it in ur sd card -->> copy here.
thats all you have the .apk file on your SD card.
good luck.

Unfortunately i can't find it in this folder
i found HTC_IME which i understand is the interface for the touch keyboard made by htc, can this be the one we need ??? its size is 4.2 MB

using "Android System Info" i found the name of the Arabic Keyboard software.
com.parfield.inputmethod.arabic

but still can't find it inside /system/app

Like mentioned, look in system/app/ and data/app/. The name might be different.

[How to] Add Chinese Input Method

I have been trying out some of the custom roms for the sgs2 and find that most of them lack the chinese input method. Searching throughout the Samsung Galaxy forums, I am unable to find much info on it so I created this thread to help the few who would find this useful. This is inclusive of all the default samsung chinese input methods (pinyin, cangjie, bpmf, stroke, and handwritting).
For chinese input on the sgs2 you will need to extract the chinese input apk and its libraries from a chinese rom into the current rom you are using.
Chinese rom list: ZS-KF1, ZS-KF4, ZS-KG2 (available on samfirmware)
Just grab these files from any of those chinese roms:
/system/app/samsungIME.apk
/system/app/samsungIME.odex
/system/lib/libhandwritelib.so
/system/lib/libjni_pinyinime.so
/system/lib/libjni_secime.so
/system/lib/libXT9.so
If you want to import this to a deodexed rom then you can deodex the samsungIME.apk+odex files with help from this thread created by sicopat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132724
Hope you find this helpful

Well.I think that most chinese will install touchpal or sogou...they won't care about samsungime
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Yes, for third party Chinese input support there are Touchpal, Sogou, Iflytek, Baidu input, and more, but not all of those have traditional chinese support. Regardless, this method is for those that want to use the built in Samsung input method.

well。we can choose the one has traditional input...But your post is great

Theoretically, would this method work for any "missing" language?

not sure about all languages but you can try the other libraries that pertain to the samsung keyboard.
/system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
/system/lib/libjnigraphics.so
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
and the language files under
/system/T9DB

Will this work for TRADITIONAL chinese input as well? Can I extract it from the HK ROMs...Such as the HK I9100ZSKG2?

i use multiling keyboard.. it has chinese handwriting n hanyu pinyin..

i'm using SCUT gPen繁體版手寫輸入法..
perfect for traditional chinese handwriting input

multiling keyboard appears to offer the ㄅㄆㄇㄈ input, the other app i mentioned is actual handwriting input (i.e. writing each word out to get the actual characters)

for simplified Chinese which support handwriting, there are DioPen from Hanvon in DXKH2 AND DXKI4, If I used other ROM then I used Guobi Input. you can find many input from here: http://www.3gfan.com/class/346_1.htm

Galaxy W - changing ui language

Hi, I have a newbie question about android
Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.
I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.
I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).
So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?
Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply
I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.
I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)
But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).
When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.
The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.
Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?
Some more details that can shed some light:
- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there
- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265
[email protected] #3
-Baseband version
I8150DXLC1
- Android version 2.3.6
-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)
Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck
I tried all 3 methods I've found
here
but no one didn't really work
I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.
In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.
I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.
So any help will be appreciated here
Thanks
OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.
Thought someone can be interested...
I've used the first method and it didn't work.
I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.
So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).
Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" ) with Odin.
I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial
And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language
Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so
could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all?
Thanks

Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all

Thanks I tried that and then i go back to AOSP setting and choose Language -> I did not see chinese or mandarin or any chinese related.
It shows list from start to end English - US ->> Uzbek, Vietnamese, Zulu end of list.
It does'nt have chinese though, maybe I need to install from playstore.

System -> Languages & Input -> Languages -> + Add a language (chinese will be at the bottom of the list)

I have a problems where I am able to choose Chinese as a language but am not able to activate Chinese as an input method. Same with Korean.
Should probably add... I use lineage with opengapps (pico) and the aosp keyboard.
The keyboard settings say use system languages but show only English and German although Chinese is configured as a system language.

I have the exact same problem with lineageos adroid keyboard.
Chinese language is available as system language for display purposes, but no input is available.

Ditto. Android 10 / LOS 17.1, zero Google apps, Chinese (简体中文) is enabled as a system language, and there seems to be no provision for actually entering Chinese. And the Google Pinyin Input app (which is what I have used in the past on CyanogenMod and LineageOS) seems to not work at all on this device (Sony Xperia Z3). The latest version of Google Pinyin installs and then dies silently, older versions will not even install. Ummmmm, that makes LOS unusable for something like 1/5 of the world's population. ;-) Maybe more, if this holds true for other Asian languages.

Now July 2022, I have same situation with 18.1 recently updated (July 2022) on Samsung HLTE. I do not have any Google product installed, including Play Store.
I have (and have activated ) the Chinese simple option in the languages, but am unable to change it in the key pad.
It seems as though most Asian languages except Vietnamese are missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: July 10th
Really would like some feedback on this please?
Is it something I am or not doing?
Is this an issue with this ROM/
Is it simply not possible?
I see it is showing com.android.imput.latin in the keypad setting.
I cannot find any way to switch to Cn.
Is there an update via Lineageo/s I can add to achive this please?
Don't hesitate to ask me if there is info missing.
Without the ability to use Cn language in keyboard this has very limited functionality for me.
I see it is a feature of a stock Samsung C8 device.

Quite correct, but like me, the poster wants to add it to the keypad.
Ie, convert the keypad to be able to use Chinese language.
I know this is a 2 year old psot, but just curious if yu have achieved this?
FYI: I am unable to find any option to add a language in keypad setting and no Asian languages are preset. (excluding Vietnamese)

Hello, did you ever find a way to fix this?

Just install GKeyboard from Google play and set it as default input

Hello @ar_156, thanks for taking the time to write.
I am Guessing in GKeyboard the G stands for Google.
So it might likely work, as it does in my Galaxy C8 stock Chinese for which there is no known mod.
But I do not run any Google products including Pay Store.
That sort of defeats the entire purpose of running a Mod Lineage ROM, I may as well just run the stock Google Android.
Hopefully an update soon will restore the Lineage usefulness for me.
Cheers

Oh apparently 'tis Oktoberfest happy whatever one does~!

Thanks again for your idea.
I located the APK , downloaded but it reports back : "APP not installed."
I tried it multiple times from multiple sources - no joy.
Do you or does anyone have any idea why it keeps failing please?
In a similar vein, I thought that an earlier version of Lineage OS ( I'm running 18.1 now) came with a note taking APP?
Is there one for the current version please?
Thx

Gboard - the Google Keyboard
or use TouchPal Keyboard, it wil let you install Chinese Traditional or Simplified input.
GBoard requieres some Google elements, maybe your chinese device does not allow it, your best bet is TouchPal Keyboard, I am using it, too.

Hiya @ar_156 thanks very much for that .
Issue is very likely device related, but haha, you maybe read too much CNN!
Nothing to do with location, I suspect G/board will fail anywhere.
Since posting I had a flashback to another APP that gave the same error message. Turned out it was a 64 bit APP - Note 3 is only 32~
Once I found a 32 bit APP it installed no issues. Sadly, G/board seems not to have a 32 bit option.
I have a newer 64 bit Galaxy C8 but can't find a custom ROM for that so for now I am stuck with the Note 3 and 32 bits~
I'll giveTouchpal a try many thanks.
Saturday Sept 24th.
Hello again @ar_156 , a quick follow up. f
I found the ads on Touchpal a bit distracting.
However, your tip re Gboard IS the answer for anyone who is having the same issue .
BUT - it must be the ARM (32 bit ) version, available ex Softpedia.
Probably others as well.
However, one MUST search for the arm version, there are at least 3.
The default download is 64 bit and will fail every time.
I now have Gboard up, seems to run OK. So thank you , hope this follow up helps someone, somewhere, sometime.
Cheers
