As newbie owner of a SGN2, rooted but no custom ROM yet, I was wondering .......
What are the real differences between LJ1 and LJ3?
Is there a serious difference or is it just what I seem to found on the net, something updated about input in Chinees language?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

Hello all,
I need a bit of help
I've flashed and rooted the XXJPK as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686
The problem I have is that after I rooted the phone I've done a not-so-smart thing
Without even thinking I replaced the "/system/app/Swype.apk" and "/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so" with the multi-language files from JP1 (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7412595&postcount=73)
To my unpleasant surprise now Swype crashes
Goes without saying that -- in good old hacking tradition -- I didn't backup the original files first
So, the cry for help is:
1) Can some kind soul post the original (above two) Swype files in the XXJPK so at least I have a functioning Swype (even if it doesn't have the swedish language....)
2) Even better -- if a fellow swede (or scandinavian... ) that managed to get the swedish input in Swype in XXJPK, can you please post the files (apk / library) you are using ?
Thanks a bunch in advance for the help !!!
Moving on....
I've managed to find a Swype WVGA version with support for the swedish language (google: Swype WVGA svenska)
I removed the previous existing Swype-relevant files:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/app/Swype.opex
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
After a reboot I managed to installed the .apk version above.
The showstopper now is that I cannot switch to this input method: When I hold on a text entry field and selecting "Input Method" only "Samsung Keyboard" shows up (but no Swype)
Any input ?
(And applogies to the forum admins as this become off-topic for ROM development -- however, the fact that "Swype" is missing from "input method" should be vaguley relevant . Thanks for understanding)

I use the the JP1 file. You find the link to download on Swedroid. Its in the Galaxy S forum.Some thread about Q&A. Good Luck
It worked for me with JPK several times
I found the answer in the mean time (posting here for the record):
Under: Settings -> Locale and text activate Swype; change the settings as desired (language, etc).
Switch to Swype via the "Input Method" radio button selection when inputing text (tap and hold on a text input box).
Hope this will help others as well
Well this guy, DocRambone, most surdenly knows how to do it. Cause he did in his modded ROM, the superlite version. I just checked Swype settings again and it has swedish, danish, norway, uk, us etc. - all the languages are there.
Try out his ROM - so far it's working really perfect

Do I need to check the "re-partition"-box in Odin when flashing this modded rom?
Can somebody please upload the file /system/app/Swype.odex from JM4 or JM6 ROM ?
Messed up my slovenian swype in JPK. Please help!

I ve been looking for a while with no success on the forum.
A friend just got the Defy but cannot get facebook to sync his contacts.
Phone is fresh, with no root or custom rom.
I installed for him the Facebook app which sat on top of the stock facebook app and still no luck. There is no sync contacs in facebook > settings.
In Settings> Accounts> Add, there is the option for facebook but clicking on it will do absolutely nothing (well.. the icon does get colored when clicking but just that!).
did he add Facebook to his Motoblur Accounts?
I had the same problem with a modded rom. Went back to stock and all ok.

The Greek ROM is the CEE ROM, the Central Europe ROM and it does not include Motoblur. The official Facebook app won't sync, not sure if it's a bug or intentional. The only way is to flash the phone with a Motoblur enabled ROM, but then no more Greek menus, so it's up to your friend.

Thank you very much for your reply!
Not having greek menus is not a problem, but the phone is not rooted. Need to root to get a english-facebook-working rom?
Hi, my Defy is just 5 days old and I'm also experiencing the same issue. Mine's Asian firmware (with no motoblur) and is experiencing the same error.
Just wanna ask if I will just do the same procedure- using RSD Lite to flash another ROM? I've downloaded UK firmware JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 (with a note "You cannot downgrade after flashing this firmware.")
Is it safe to flash this directly to my asian FW JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0 ??
I can confirm that the Greek firmware version (which you can find at Germanos Romania) has the problems with the Facebook app.
From what I found the problem seems to be the Facebook app and you can't do much about it.
I gave up on searching for a while, but I'll get back after I finish customizing the phone. Maybe the much expected update will save us all.
Cheers!

Same problem for me with Facebook and Defy bought in Romania - sync is not working
Same here in Hungary. With the stock Blurless rom.

It's "safe", the flash will work without a problem - BUT - I'd recommend you actually flash the JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 ROM. It's a bit older, but many people who upgraded to the 2.51 version have had issues upgrading to Froyo later - so I'd suggest you avoid it. The 2.21 ROM has no such issues.

That won't work, he states he already is on version 2.51 which means he cannot flash anything earlier, the phone won't boot. He can safely flash the UK 2.51 though.
Exact same problem here. Phone was on firmware 2.51 out of the box so nothing I can do about that. I also installed latest facebook app and indeed tapping facebook in the add accounts screen does nothing. I am using rom Adlxmod F4D version 2 which is Froyo.
Read somewhere on the internet that it can also be device specific so facebook does not natively support sync for all phone models. Hope that is not true...
Here they have a modified Facebook apk for sync to work on a CM rom for the EVO 4G. Maybe someone can do the same for the Defy.
And more interesting stuff to read.
Nobody is interested to investigate this a little bit more? I've been looking into modding apk's but I found nothing about locking in or out certain devices. Also tried random text searches, call them educated guesses, in the apk-files but again found nothing. It seems that Facebook sync is only supported in Android 2.2 and since the Defy officially still has 2.1 it probably takes a while before Facebook officially allows us to sync.
somebody pls look into this! I need facebook sync soo badly!
Facebook sync solved!
I am on Pays ROM and had the same error trying to sync Facebook contacts.
The answer is here my friends:
Look up the Social Buzz apk on the net.
I've found it in a multiupload link on the net.
The socal buzz apk comes in a zip file with 2 apps to instal.
First install pluto and then install the Social buzz apk.
It logs in Facebook quickly and it restores the Facebook contacts sync.
is there a way to sync facebook contacts with the ones in gmail? because that would solve the problem (btw i have the blurless hungarian rom too). i know you can load gmail contacts to facebook, the question is if it is possible to do it the other way around...

I had the same problem with my htc magic ruining on CM 6.1.
But after that I installed the skype app and synced contacts with that, the fb sync started to work too...
Maybe that can work here too.

hello!
hey guys! i have the same problem!! i was running the stock 2.2.2 asian firmware on the defy, and well it didnt work!! then once i rooted my device and started swapping roms i realised it didnt work on quite a few custom roms!! today i was reading this article about how googles taking a stand and something to do with contacts linkining on facebook! so lets see maybe in a future update of face book we'll get lucky!
I used an app that syncs the picture of my facebook contacts, I can't remember the name, but there's one. But it syncs only the picture.
The contacts sync isnt yet supprted in the official facebook app but there is a rom that lets you merge facebook without the need of a blur account. The latest Taiwan released 2.3.4/4.5.2-109 lets you add facebook and other networking accounts with contacts and inbox sync. Check it out in the Development forum.

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

It looks I did exactly as you wrote, and it worked great
I didn't find XXLM8 firmware on sammobile, instead I used XXLM6 which is also good enough for my needs.
Thanks a lot for your help, mohza!

I updated to the newest firmware for the note 2 the n7100xxxxJ1 update so that I can have split screen and that part worked but after reinstalling input languages I found that typing in Chinese still works but it does not have the handwriting feature any more.
All the other input languages that I activate the handwriting feature still works just not Chinese. I use that feature everyday as I live in China. Also I do not want a 3 party app to use the handwriting feature for Chinese due to the fact that everyone of my friends who has used my phone cannot believe how accurate the handwriting feature is for Chinese. Please help I have searched and downloaded and reinstalled and re flashed firmware and i can not figure out how to get it back. Thanks. Phone is rooted has adb, busybox, cmw. I does not work unrooted or rooted not that you think it would make a difference just thought I would say.
thanks for you help
same same~~
if you do find out the solution, please let know too....
same as you

I upgraded my note 2 to new stock rom XXUEMK4 (Indian) from old stock rom XXDMC3 (Vietnamese) through Mobile Odin without wiping data. I also rooted and removed knox. Everything is OK but my samsung keyboard can not download some input languages: Vietnamese, Japanese... it always displays message "Failed to download". But some others is OK: Italian, Espanol, French... (so the network is OK).
I tried to copy folder /data/data/com.sec.android.inputmethod which already contained Vietnamese and Japanese input languages from another phone (use the same ROM version), but my phone can not detect them. I also tried to delete and recreate this folder but not OK.
Maybe this data folder is not correct? Would anybody please download Vietnamese and Japanese input languagues, after that uploading Samsung keyboard apk and data (maybe done by Titanium Backup) for me to try? Or can I have another solution for this case?
New update: Suddently now i can download Vietnamese input language. But Japanese has not been downloaded yet. Anyway, maybe this problem is relating to network issues...
Thanks.
