Brazilian Galaxy S with Digital TV Root and Mod

Hello everyone!
I'm from brazil and our Galaxy S comes with built in 1seg digital TV (it even has an antenna), and I got mine today. Seems a root isn't available yet, so if anyone need me to dump anything or anything else so we can make this work, fire away!
Thanks!
Carlos

Have you tried any of the available methods of root? But first make sure your phone can go into download mode in case anything goes wrong. I'd like to see a picture of this Galaxy S with a TV antenna. Sounds pretty cool

It's been rooted, check the forum.

Did it today using the forum's tutorial.
Has anyone installed ROM's on the i9000B?!
Cheers

Not yet, still trying to figure out how to install all the gapps I want. Gtalk workd fine, but no gmail yet.

Ok, phone sucessfully rooted! now, anyone done any of the most popular hacks? Like the lagfix one? Seems mine doesnt have enough space on /system/ for ryanza's one

froyo 2.2 ?
The big question is : Will be Brazilian GS upgraded to Froyo ? Its the only Galaxy with tv ...
Does it suffer the lag issue ? The gps is good ?
Thanks

I have applied Ryanza's Lag Fix and Market Access, but I'm still an Android novice. No problems whatsoever with Ryanza's, my Galaxy S is the Brazilian model, unlocked and unbranded.

Mine already came with Gmail and Google Talk (haven't tried it yet), or are we talking about different applications? By the way, mine is unbranded.

How do I know if my phone suffers from the lag issue? I applied Ryanza's fix but to be honest I didn't notice much difference.
I think my GPS reception is poor. But I had previous phone models which didn't have good GPS reception themselves (Nokia N97 and Sony Ericsson Vivaz) so I don't really know.

I'd love if someone can dump this firmware.
I'm looking at swype and the modem.

Tell me what to do (or point to the appropriate topics) and I'll do it. Any risks involved?

i don´t know what the problem with brazilian SGS, works perfect to me with root, lagfix, we don´t have roms just it, you can use froyo beta but you need a way to extract apk of digital tv and swype language module (pt-br) just it, and we will have a galaxy like any other

Well I had to xchange my galaxy s for another because I semi bricked it LOL so before I did, I tested the froyo beta firmwares and on all of them the touchscreen didn't work. maybe our kernel is different somehow?
Seems we will have to wait for an official I9000B firmware?
Also, my galaxy didn't come with google apps, I got samsung email and some customized gmail application and some claro ****. Where can I get the regular gmail or another as good email client? Or even better how can I completely unbrand the phone and leave it like the one bought outside carriers?

Did anyone here rooted the Brazilian Galaxy S ? Anyone using Claro ? Thanks.

a lot of peoples use rooted SGS of claro in the orkut community of SGS, try this update.zip man

Now that we have paid apps in Market I cant see why to root . Anyway, I was not accepted in the orkut community . I am working on it right now to figure out what happened .
My big concern is : will be there Froyo for us ?

hi
Maybe this is a stupid question, but would it be possible to use the digital TV app on our "non" brazillian phones?
-TB-

Digital TV it´s hardware thing...
Our cell phones have a TV antenna and a digital receptor.
I´ve instaled clockwork and backuped my phone.
These files will help someone in xtracting swype language and TV app?

Samsung released an oficial Froyo update today.
Let's see how long it will take for us to get it here in Brazil.

Replacement keyboard

Can anyone recommend a great replacement keyboard from the stock samsung keyboard.. i dont use Swype at all.. My main issue with the keys is that its too tightly put together and making LOTS of typos.. been using the phone for close to 2 months already.

Why didn't I try this before! Works great, much better then Samsungs! Thanks man

Try searching the forum for HTC IME mod, imo its the best android keyboard available, made even better by jonas

Even I am looking for a replacement keyboard. The issue with Swype is that the keys are small leading to lots of errors and since my native language is not supported I can't swype all the words.
Samsung is good as far as keys are concerned but only issue with it is that if you have to input numbers or some symbol you have to go to a different screen whereas on other keyboards you can long press a certain key and the corrosponding no or symbol is displayed.
If samsung had that option it would have been great.
I have downloaded smart keyboard and it does look good. Lets try it for sometime and see how it goes.

Tried smart keyboard for a few days and i dont really see any improvements... the "." is just placed to close on the space key

The HTC mod keyboard does not work after an upgrade to froyo. Any way of making that work?

Ill give it a try if you can make an app/automated installer for it

Any keyboard out there with the same layout / distancing as the Iphone keyboard but retains the stock SGS or andriod look... I find texting on an ip3Gs / ip4 about 2x better compared to my SGS.

Swiftkey is the best keyboard I have found by far

Swiftkey looks nice, but it has very limited set of keyboard layouts.
For example, it is very funny that is supports Swedish language prediction, but not the Swedish keyboard layout.
Not very speedy to input Swedish words, when you are missing å, ä and ö keys

I always keep going back to the black droidx keyboard.. love how the keys are alittle bigger

Hey Guys opened a thread months ago.. D All Keyboards and so there

Starting to stick to Droid x keypad as well.. Easy for quick typing

All of the keyboards around basically have the same spacing in them.. the distance on the iphone keyboard seems to be perfect.. for about 5 months with the samsung keyboard i still get a lot of typos

I actually use Smart Keyboard Pro and find it great.

[Q] Samsung Nexus Prime - android ice cream sandwich , add-on dictionaries, DANSK??

Why is there no danish/dansk dictionaries???
How can i get a hold of the Danish/Dansk dictionaries??
Thanks

I'm wondering the same but for Polish dictionary.... anyone???

Same problem for all the nordic countries. We are still waiting for an official fix.
Also: It's not called the Nexus Prime. Using the right name will make it easier to get help for your particular model

I would like to know this as well. It's a bit annoying to type without dictionary...

Still waiting :/
Man this sucks

Use a different keyboard them stock. I'm using Swype which have Norwegian dictionary. Or you could swiftkey from the market (it's worth the price).
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

There is an ICS keyboard in market and Danish dictionary for it.
But I'm still looking forward to a built-in dictionary. Should be much better than the one from market.
I have contacted Samsung Denmark and they have been very friendly. I also asked if Danish dictionary would be included in 4.0.4, and the supporters would have a talk with the developers to get an answer on that.
Ill post it here when they reply

Still no solution to this for a built in keyboard. And ics was supposed to fix that issue. Do dupy.

That's probably because you're on yakju. The generic version from Google. The other versions contain localization addons.
Did you manually chance to yakju or did you buy it with yakju?

I bought my phone with yakjuxw and later on flashed yakju cause I was on 4.0.2 with no update on sight when 4.0.4 is already out
Unfortunately I lost the localizations for Portuguese (which is what I want in my case).
I have to look into it myself but maybe you guys know if it's possible to extract the locale from yakjuxw and place it in my currently flashed yakju ? It must be some file somewhere to be retrieved...

[Q] Chinese ROMS?

Are there any ROMS with chinese language available for the AT&T GS3?
I have the Verizon GS3 and it has Chinese but it doesn't look like AT&T version has it.
It should look like 中文.
Thanks,

Can Anyone Check their ROMS if they have chinese language available?

Here is a screen capture of the languages that look like they could be Chinese to me. The symbols you tried to insert in the original post aren't showing correctly. This is CM10.1.

Yup, that's Chinese. Unsure if the OP wants simplified or traditional, but cm10.1 apparently has both. (Indian learning Chinese :good: )

Ace II (i8160) gesture keyboard not working.

Hello, i just flashed several roms in my Ace II because of the gesture keyboard not working.
I have made my searches, and found zero answer related to this, it seems no one is using gesture keyboard....
Now, on such small screen, having the gesture hability for writing saves a lot of time for me, and i think that anyone who would give it a try will keep it as primary way of writing.
The only rom in wich is working fine is in Slimrom 8.1 but i have found other complains for this one that are more important than the keyboard at the moment.
Is there any workaround?

I've been using it on the stock 4.1.2 ROM in this same phone and in 4.0.4 on Optimus 2x.
At store, there's no available google keyboard, already made the search.
BTW:
PAC rom has not working gesture keyboard, and is 4.2.2.
TeamCanjica, also is 4.2.2 and it has it not working either.
Rootbox, also is 4.2.2 and is not working.
On the contrary, SlimRom is 4.2.2 and it has it working.

I'm no expert but shouldn't this be in the "general" section? o.0
Google Keyboard (same as AOSP from 4.2.2) has gesture typing, SwiftKey has gesture typing and Swype has gesture typing. If one of those doesn't work you might wanna contact the app support directly. All I know is Google Keyboard and SwiftKey work perfect on stock and Cyanogenmod.
Google Keyboard is available for the Ace II. In fact I think it's compatible with ALL devices so I don't know why you're not finding it. I'd be certain it's likely to be something on your end.

It seems to be working, but only makes the trace and nothing is written.
Swiftkey and swype have their own drawbacks, both are really c..p finding and predicting words in anything than english, and i need it working fine in Spanish, there google keyboard is unbeatable.
Also, those both apps are paid, google is not only free, IT WORKS.

Nothing wrong in MY end, i've made the search inside the phone and directly with my computer browsing/searching play store, and it does not appear AT ALL.
I also checked some days ago with the Optimus 2x because i dislike the keyboard that came with a custom rom, nothing appeared... And also, both phones use different google account. (just in case)
So.. It seems that the keyboard may be been removed or is only available for older versions wich need update.
EDIT: Sorry... Sometimes you need to kill someone... I'll kill google...
Well, Google keyboard will NEVER appear for spanish... "Teclado de Google" does...
Really sorry... sometimes takes me some time stop thinking on english.
Anyway, it says is not compatible with ANY of my devices.... : wallbash:

Well it's definitely still there for me whatever ROM I'm using so i don't know what to tell you

No problem. Just extract archive, replace file in system/lib. Change permissions (rw-r-r) and reboot.
Member, swype not working in all languages!
