[Q] ms2ginger's problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

is it available for a chinese edition to make a direct recovery to the multilanguage beta5?

Now, your Rom is the chinese edition, right
and you need to use multilanguage like beta5
I think, you must change Rom to use MS2 GB beta5
before that, you must read the Rom spec and changelog again,
If you need it, go ahead

yeah~
thx...
i restored it &then flash fixed-sbf...
finally i succeed!!!

[ROM][Stock]ICS icl53f 4.0.2 Full Arabic Support NoRoot NoWarrantyVoid OTA UPDATEBLE

Hi All
if you want to read this thread in arabic language you have to visit this link:
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=411750
i would like to share my efforts with you all
For Who Need To Add The Arabic Language into the system without losing warranty or damage his phone i found a good way to do that without rooting
i made this rom for my personal use and i like to share it with you
this rom is stock like that stock one in google website yakju-icl53f-factory-89fccaac.tgz
i only add the arabic resource's into the framework and other necessary files to the factory img and fix some small problems
the only way to flash this rom is via fastboot if you already are on Stock ICS icl53f 4.0.2 and dont want to lose your data you can flash the system.img only and prevent lose or backup your data
otherwise you have to install the full package you will lose every thing data and internal memory and pics you have to backup your every thing first
it will restore you to the factory state with my full arabic support i take it from another stock arabic rom
no root already there! root at your own risk !
i think this rom gonna be updatble via ota if you lock your bootloader so we need some one to approve that
flash at you own risk
note : i test this rom on my device GSM i9250 without problem
System details:

Thanks Sup3r
Question though, wont the Stock 4.0.4 yakju img (https://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html) include Arabic originally in it ???
it would be easier for me to flash directly to it instead of flashing 4.0.2 then wait for the update
Ok i updated it, working nicely so far, Thank u soo much buddy
my question still in effect though

i think there is no arabic language into this images !! too bad for us
but i'll soon update it with the arabic language
by the way can you flash my rom then lock your bootloader and try to ota
i tried that but my GN was unlocked so it fails then i relock my phone
but no updates already there for me it says my system is up to date
thanks

i try to update now but it stop so it not ota update-able
anyway i'll make new stock 4.0.4 arabic again
u have to wait for that
thanks

first thing, i found 2 apps included in the software. fast boot & busy box....
how did it get installed ? i thought the ROM was a stock version !!!!
2nd thing 2 apps were installed directly from the market, those 2 apps i tried to install before on my P1000 but it got interrupted N didnt get installed before
3rd, i got a update notification..... so i downloaded it & installed it but when i rechecked the version again it was 4.0.2

By the way how is the signal with you

by signal u meant Wi-Fi or the GSM\3G signal ?
either way both are ok for me here no problems

Sorry to tell you that, but the new ICS has Arabic language in it by way of default.
Update:
what I understand from the link that you have attached is that rom has full arabic interface, not just a language support.
about this, I have no clue.
anyways, good luck.

I can't find the zip to install additional languages. Has it been abandoned or is the pack already included in the ROM itself?

Actually, on V5 for both DEFY and DEFY+ on MIUI.com you can see this: Author: DreamTeam
On the other hand, for V2 on the DEFY page it says: Author: MIUI
That's what's confusing me... I'll try it anyway, hopefully it's much better than the previous builds (which were all ports afaik...)!

will your rom work on defy also, when we can expect it? I see that it has a separate miui v5 download link for defy and defy+...

Previous releases were supposed to be private.
3.7.12 is the unofficial public release.
Defy and Defy+ each have their own release, but they should be the same. They probably separated them to prevent people from asking why there's only one release for both phones.
Why are you even asking? Both versions are available, just download yours!

I ask beacuase I would like to test coolshahabaz version without unnecessary apps....

I tried 3.7.12 from miuiandroid and I get no sound when calling someone. I have to turn hands-free on to hear something.
The ROM is less snappy than mokee but it looks great. The no sound bug I face is quite ugly, though.

[Discontinued][ROM][4.2.2][G Pro] ColorOS 2.0 Based on CM10.1 [F240x/F220K/E980/E988]

ColorOS 2.0 for G Pro by WS008​
Based on CM10.1 (4.2.2) and ColorOS Patchrom​
Please take note that although this ROM is based on CM10.1, it is not merely a modification to the CyanogenMod. It uses a similar method to MIUI in building the ROM. You will get a ColorOS experience instead of a CM one by flashing it.
About ColorOS
ColorOS is a firmware based on Android with intensive modifications. It was created by Oppo and originally ran only on Oppo devices such as the Oppo Find 7. In 2014, Oppo started its Patchrom Open Source Project and allowed the ROM to be ported to other Android devices.
The ROM is ported by the Chinese developer WS008. The development of the ROM has stopped (for a long time...)
Features
ColorOS features
Added SmartMax to the kernel.
Zipaligned.
Rooted, SuperSU.
Smooth as CM10.1.
Improved battery life.
Double tap to wake.
Slide to wake.
Included Aroma Installer. You may choose which variant you have and whether you want GApps when flashing.
Screenshots
How to install
Install custom recovery (PhilZ Touch recovery recommended) (There are issues with TWRP.)
Wipe Data/Cache/System (Important)
Flash zip -> Select Your variant -> Select GApps
Downloads
From ColorOS official server.
Known Issues
NFC not working.
FAQs
1. Why 4.2.2?
The ColorOS Patchrom currently only supports Android 4.2.2. The update can only made by Oppo. We will try to update to KitKat as quickly as we can once Oppo releases the KitKat update to the Patchrom.
2. Why Chinese?
The ROM is in Chinese by default (Sorry, we cannot change it unless Oppo does something.) You may switch to English in Settings (设置).
If you like this ROM, please click the "Thanks" button. We will also appreciate a lot if you connect to the Internet at least once after flashing for statistical purposes.
Code:
/*
* Your warranty is now void.
*
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
*/

Thank you very much @JTJTJ.
Eventhough you are not the developer, but your action helps us very much as we do not have that great assortment of roms.
Cheers.

For some reason i couldn't connect to my WiFi network. Also i was able to choose Hebrew language but the interface changed to English.

We need to at base 4.1.2 in order to flash this rom right bro?

going to try just backed up dho commtio 4.4.3 and flashed cmw

Not working on F220K
Sorry, but i've tried to install it several times on F220K, the installation process completes well and then it does'nt boot, then i tried F240k variant and it installed and booted well, but it had some graphics glitches on F220k, any help would be appriciated,

It doesn't boot on my phone
Flashed the E988 variant

ROM installed fine but everything is in Chinese. Color OS looks beautiful. I wish they added more steps in English for initial set up. This thread will be hard to maintain in English unless we are able to install in English.

I have just installed the rom. It works pretty well. NFC seems to work (didn't try with another phone though).
You can flash it with CWM in Freegee.
There is a tutorial to get english on Youtube:
Thanks to let us try ColorOs

UPDATE: It's not too bad, I'm not 100% sure what the OTA does but I'm on the 06/16 build. I'll try and see if I can get the double-tap wake to work in a bit. Just seeing if I can change the Chinese keyboard to an English one since installing Google Keyboard from the Playstore FC's. Overall: not bad at all.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the speaker sounds noticeably better on here. I'm not sure what's different but the quality is great.

May I know how to disable NFC function? I click disable but it still keeping enable. Is it a bug?

So, I tried this before, and I loved the features. I couldnt however get wifi and stuff to work. I want to try it again, but the zip wont download correctly :/ It is "invalid"
EDIT: If anyone has the same problem, download and use DAp. It downloaded it without making it invalid, lol.
'

Anyone else have problems with getting stuck a LG logo upon first booting after install? I found that it can be fixed by copying 'wcd9310_mbhc.bin' and 'wcd9310_anc.bin' into '/system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/' (files available from here). I packed them into the ZIP, reinstalled, and am now having a colorful os.
The non-existence of those files causes this error upon install, though it wasn't reported by the installer--it claimed success!:
Code:
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_mbhc.bin to /data/misc/audio/mbhc.bin: No such file or directory
symlink: failed to symlink /system/etc/firmware/wcd9310/wcd9310_anc.bin to /data/misc/audio/wcd9310_anc.bin: No such file or directory
Which, I think, caused a nasty loop of '[CAM/E][ERR] ce1702_i2c_rxdata failed!' errors upon first boot, keeping me from advancing past that mocking LG logo.

Did i get a fake rom?

Hey guys,
I bought my phone at Bestgear. When I check the version of my rom I get 8.2.16.0.0. Is this ok? Because on xiaomi.eu I cannot find this version. It's very confusing.

Yes, it's a fake rom.
Just flash an stable or developer china version and then install xiaomi.eu

But I don't understand. What should I do exactly, can you give me a precise procedure? Why would gearbest send me a phone with a fake rom?

To know what to do, try searching the following exact string on google, between quotes:
"All-in-one Guide Compilation On How To Flash Xiaomi.eu Roms On Your Mi5s", you should find a page on xiaomi.eu or en.miui.com.
The process is easy, but if you have absolutely no experience ask for a help.
About the fake ROM, there is still no official global ROM, so resellers put cooked ROMs with additional languages plus gapps (generally required from people outside China) and only god knows what else.

I have no experience with this. To whom should I ask for help?

I have found the guide you mentioned I will try to apply this process. However, could you tell me what does it mean when we say there is no global rom? I will have the phone in Chinese? Or at least in English too?
Thanks a lot for your help and patience.

Xiaomi release its stable and developer ROMS in two more versions: china and global.
The china versions have english and chinese languages.
Also the global versions have eng. and chn. lang. also but also more or less all the languages of the countries where xiaomi officially sells or supports a particular model.
If you go to Mi5S (no plus) http://en.miui.com/download-314.html you'll see that there are only china roms, while for Mi5S Plus http://en.miui.com/download-315.html there are also the global counterparts.
On the guide you'll find that the last step is flash xiaomi.eu ROM.
This is not an official ROM, but is created from the official chinese version. They add more languages, gapps and they do some optimizations beside removing those chinese apps that are not useful for people living outside China.
*I think* that Xiaomi uses their repository to get the translations to build their global versions.
If you follow the guide, is up to you which step to follows.
For example, if you are ok with official china because english is fine for you and you like chinese apps, you can follow just step #1 and #2, and on step #2 you have to choose between stable (less frequently updated about monthly, less new features, less new bugs) and developer (updated weekly with all the new features and bugs), and you should choose for stable.
I you want to install xiaomi.eu you have to follow step #1, #3 and #4. The step #2 is optional, but in this case get the same version (dev/stable) that you are going to use on #4.

Thank you for your help! I think I will try tonight if I have time.
Two more questions if you don't mind :
If I choose Chinese rom, will I be able to install manually and easily the playstore? And with titanium, will I be able to freeze the Chinese apps?
Secondly, if I do the next updates from the phone, will that close by bootloader again?
Thanks!

Mind that selecting English in Chinese official ROM for Mi5s will get your UI to Engish, true. But there will be so much annoying CHinese everywhere that it's pretty much useless to non-Chinese users. If you open App store everything's in Chinese. And that one is rather crucial if you'd like to install Google apps. So anyway. Apply for unlock, put TWRP on your device and flash xiaomi.eu ROM. It seems a complicated process but it's not really. And this specific ROM gets rid of much of Chinese stuff albeit removing strings only (i.e. Wallpaper carousel categories are only represented with images instead of their names as well). Anyway. But until XiaoMi releases a Global ROM for Mi5s we have no hopes of ever getting kernel sources which will allow developers to provide custom ROMs for it like CyanogenMod et al. As the reliable sources close to XiaoMi say, Global ROM for Mi5s will actually be released.

Ok, I will flash the rom from xiomi. Eu but that means I won't be able to update it from the phone, right?

Right

I have fake ROM too but I don't care because it works and all languages are there. No spyware no malicious software no Chinese. I have China's ROM on my Mi note 2 and it's pain in the ass. You will regret if you flash Chinese ROM as many others did. Global ROM for Mi 5s is about to be realest.
P.S
Afterwards I have flashed Xiaomi.eu rom and looks good at first glance. I did backup of my reseller ROM before I flashed Xiaomi.eu rom just in case.

So I have sucessfully unlocked my bootloader, install everything I need for step 3, enabled usb debbug in developers options. But now I can move forward, when I launch the command adb devices my phone is not recognized. Any help?? it's super frustrating.

The china versions have english and chinese languages.
Also the global versions have eng. and chn. lang. also but also more or less all the languages of the countries where xiaomi officially sells or supports a particular model.
If you go to Mi5S (no plus) http://en.miui.com/download-314.html you'll see that there are only china roms, while for Mi5S Plus http://en.miui.com/download-315.html there are also the global counterparts.
On the guide you'll find that the last step is flash xiaomi.eu ROM.
This is not an official ROM, but is created from the official chinese version. They add more languages, gapps and they do some optimizations beside removing those chinese apps that are not useful for people living outside China.
*I think* that Xiaomi uses their repository to get the translations to build their global versions.
If you follow the guide, is up to you which step to follows.
For example, if you are ok with official china because english is fine for you and you like chinese apps, you can follow just step #1 and #2, and on step #2 you have to choose between stable (less frequently updated about monthly, less new features, less new bugs) and developer (updated weekly with all the new features and bugs), and you should choose for stable.
I you want to install xiaomi.eu you have to follow step #1, #3 and #4. The step #2 is optional, but in this case get the same version (dev/stable) that you are going to use on #4.

You know the process very well, do you know why I am blocked at step 3 with a phone that can't be recognized?

FYI I just did a full factory reset, still doest not work

Your device still not recognized? If yes, go into device manager, delete the phone there (right click - uninstall). Then unplug it and plug it back in, in many cases it's now recognized.
If it's still not working, follow this very precise guide:

Thanks, I had difficulty to find rom archives on Xiaomi.eu. I found 6.11.10 for both mi 5s and mi note 2 and flashed. Looks good at first glance but I'm going to test it. Best regards!

Guys, I don't know why but the command "adb devices" never worked. I just manually put the phone in fastboot mode... And it worked. I'm booting on the xiaomi.eu rom. I will also flash supersu

It does work when phone is ON ( loaded in operating system) If the phone is in fastboot mode then it doesn't work but it is as intended. In fastboot mode use " fastboot devices"...
