something is wrong with your busybox installation. you'll need proper root installation and symlinks.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] madmack:
guys, some (kinda) good news that i'd like to share with everyone.

the problem is not the webcore necessarily.. its the font !

i've loaded the stock libwebcore.. and guess what, it crashed :) this is awesome news... the whole time the problem was not the libwebcore used. (me think)

i've put back stock fonts.. and it is now solid.. i'll test my different webcores now see if anyone will survive my extensive testing.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] oozrafa:
Hey Guys! I've noticed since I upgraded to KE2 that copy/paste is crashing.

To replicate this open any app where you can type (such as sms), write something and then long press in the text box to bring the copy/paste menu up; there are 2 problems:

1. You can see the gibberish in the menu that appears in the attached image.

2. When you press 'select all' the app crashes (happens in all apps)!

Is this happening to anyone else? Any ideas on a fix?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] madmack:
this webcore:

http://www.multiupload.com/3HSMXR5VYW

with the native fonts does not crash the browser :D

use this libwebcore.so instead of what you have, and then delete DroidSansArabic.ttf and rename DroidSansArabic_bar_org.ttf to DroidSansArabic.ttf and reboot. !!! tell me if it crashes.. i couldn't crash it here even though i put it through max stress levels.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shardill:
You can view Arabic/Urdu/Persian websites in Firefox without using libwebcore.so.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MAJED.y:
Good till now, but i realized the problem of "بالخير الى بلاخير" is back!.

Thanks for your great work Madmack.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tamarian:
Same here with KE2
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MAJED.y:
It does work with me, nothing wrong as i see here!.

FYI I'm using KE2 deodex from the OP, and did the Patch for libs through Madmack Patching tool.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] abuleen:
dear madmack

still having the same problem

but maybe because i'm using KE1

with stock fonts

aljazeera . net is always my best site to crash browsers

and so far it never let me down except with stock libwebcore

best regards
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tamarian:
Can you share a zip of the tool's output? :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MAJED.y:
^^

Here it is : http://www.multiupload.com/C42KPGNOYV

KE2 RTL and Arabic shaping files.

Contain :

1:framework.jar

2:libandroid_runtime.so

3:libicuuc-arabic.so
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tamarian:
Perfect, cut/paste problem resolved, and that arrow disappeared.

Much appreciated! I think I was mixing the old files.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MAJED.y:
Good news :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] oozrafa:
+1 Yes thank you very, very much!!! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nechmadi:
so with the new webcore it doesnt crash at all with xeke2 ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hasan_abeer:
PLEASE

how could i apply these one to my s2 .....is it by replace through root manager or something els???

im still have build number GNGERBREAD.XWKDD

BASEBAND VERSION I9100XXKDH

THANKS IN AVANCE
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MAJED.y:
First your phone has to be rooted first and Deodexed. see the OP.

You are in KDD firmware then use the one in the OP

You can use Root Explorer and hit "Mount R/W" to copy the file to System dir.

framework.jar to system/framwork

and,,,

libandroid_runtime.so to system/lib

libicuuc-arabic.so system/lib

or use the adb commans from the OP.

if this the first time for you, read the threads here before doing any thing.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] madmack:
it does crash, but a lot less often for me.

you gotta make sure you change the fonts as well. these are kinda important.

I think I'll focus less on improving my libwebcore binary and invest more time in understanding fonts and analyzing the ones we have at hand.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] MoFsaD:
is KE2 is the last FW ??

and could i make it write n read arabic ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] madmack:
Here are some KE2 arabized files:

http://www.multiupload.com/UM04ZLVQML

it includes my patch just as Majed has provided previously, but of note are two things:

1. new libwebcore that should at least minimize the FCs.

2. a new font of my creation !!! yep. my first font. I've taken out the android stock font that samsung has provided (which, by the way, is completely unnatural and no other DroidSansArabic.ttf has the same amount of glyphs that it has) and combined it with the font from CM7. the reason why i did this was because if we change the font on a stock ROM (no arabized files at all), we still get the stupid FCs in the Browser. So the problem were partially caused by our use of the font.

On my system, the crashes still exist.. but they've come to a bare minimum now but best of all, i get to keep my fav font and the lamalef problem in regular texts (sms) is fixed also ! enjoy it.

at least now i've singled out the problem and its only from libwebcore.so and not any other file or deodexing. (simply changing libwebcore.so with stock fixes the crashes even with my new font).

i'll update the OP when i get sometime with the latest steps.. but all the files you need to upgrade are here.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tamarian:
Yes

Yes, just use the KE2 files
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hazem77:
Madmak thanks a lot for efforts. however, after applying the Arabic files, i have lots of problems and i really would like to get rid of all these. i would appretiate if you tell me how to install the Latest Firmware FULLY as it from samsung...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I have no idea what to do. I have followed all the experts advice regarding battery life and it has improved, but it is not even close to my HD2. I was really hoping one of the genius devs would have reworked the battery drivers by now. I say that because I have seen them work miracles before.

I use my phone for business and getting emails in a timely matter is also an issue.

So should I hang in and hope Gingerbread or Ice cream fixes the issues or are there deeper problems with this phone?

I am still strongly considering the Sensation. I am not concerned with the locked boot loader because I am a member of XDA and they always figure those things out. Kinda miss the larger screen and build quality of HTC.

Anyone else on the fence about this phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jn_vista:
I dont have any issues at all with my G2X, but I just went on HTCs website, and looked up the Sensation... Wow.

As long as I can remember I've wanted a phone with sense, now that I have a great phone, the allure of getting one with sense and having everything integrated the way the website shows is AWESOME!

I'm torn, because on one hand, there will be alot of great development for this phone, but on the other hand, I think, that I would much rather keep one of my phones stock, and let updates come naturally...

With this phone I was rooted and installed a custom rom as soon as one was available.

I think I might just return my G2X till the sensation comes out... I still have about 8 hours to make a decision though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
I've about had it with the issues that I am having.. Having returned one G2x for another, both are having the same problems. I have until Friday night to return - I may resort to borrowing an old flip phone until the Sensation comes out.

Random freezes - random reboots - random shutdowns - serious battery life inconsistencies...

What's worse - the same problems are happening with CyanogenMod too.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
If you like it, keep it. Not so much? Return it. Simple as that;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
I like the look of the Sensation, will there be worse battery life on the sensation?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
clicked the wrong button.... nobody knows, just wait til it comes out
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikeglongo:
Ha, well I want to be sure before my 14 days is up, I guess I won't know. I hope my g2x gets better battery life soon
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
returning another g2x. i have 30 days so when the sensation comes out i will even exchange.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Prod1702:
I ordered mine on the 20th so the day the phone was out in the store. I had to order mine online since i am a T-Mobile RSA. I have alittle screen bleed but not much. I will be doing exchanges until i get one with no bleed. Other wise i have had no problems at all. No reboots, lock ups, data problems, nothing the phone is rock solid. I love the phone. Every person that has come into my store with problems i have told them that T-Mobile is going to exchange this for you under the lifetime warranty if you have it for the life of you having the phone. So you have nothing to worry about. The phone is a great phone to have. Do the exchanges until you get a working one. I know i would do it until i did. Even if it meant doing it 100 times. Also my understanding is that sensation is going to be locked down which is the reason why Cyan did not want to get one but got the G2X. So if thats the case have fun trying to get a mods on the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ccrows:
HTC's have a history of poor battery life. Sure you can mod, but then your hoping a dev can pull **** out of a hat for you...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] coocookuhchoo:
Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have until Friday to return mine. Battery life was the main reason I got the g2x over the sensation, reasoning that htc usually has terrible battery life. However with all the current battery troubles, I'm not so sure I made the right choice. The most confusing thing is the reviews I read (cnet, bgr, engadget) all said the battery life was above average. Did they get different units or something? If the battery life isn't any better on the g2x, and if sense 3.0 isn't so terrible, other things like the qhd screen, more ram, and htc quality make the sensation pretttty appealing. Thoughts?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I really don't have problems with battery life at all. It lasts longer then my HTC Nexus One. I'm able to go from 8am-midnight under my normal usage of several calls, push emails, exchange, twitter widget, facebook widget, Weather widget, Kingdoms live and Word Feud, plus surfing and tweaking through out the day.

I really like the phone. My only gripe is the LCD backlight compared to the AMOLED, but I knew that going in.

HTC is locking their bootloaders like everyone else. Most phones with encrypted/signed bootloaders are still, to this day, locked down and unflashable.

The Samsung Galaxy S2 would be my second choice since the bootloader is unlocked and should be another one that is flashable. But we have absolutely no idea when it is coming out. I'm hearing September. It lacks the Tegra 2... which will burn as more and more Tegra 2 only games/apps start pouring in.

I say stay with the G2x. Aside from the backlight bleed, every other issue is just software. The Official Gingerbread rom will be out very soon and it should hopefully take care of more of our problems.

Aside from the Official build, we already have CM7 hot in the mix and I believe they will have the phone running great within a week or two.

If you are really worried about it, couldn't you just do a return... then pick up another one that has another 14 days?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DeezNotes:
I returned mine. I only purchased to give the network a try and see if it works for me as I am currently a Verizon customer... so I kinda had to return it regardless.

I'm going to wait it out a bit. I have a Fascinate, and coming from a Galaxy S series phone, this phone was *almost* a lateral switch. There are many advantages this phone has over the original Galaxy S series, but I felt like I needed more. Maybe it was the same 4" screen size?

Overall, it's a nice phone. Build quality is excellent and it functions very well. The reboot issues didn't bother me too much, but the fact that the issues were there really made me a bit uncomfortable. Coming from a Samsung phone that had wacky software, the last thing I wanted was another phone sharing some of the qualities I did not like - bad code.

I think LG is in a position to fix their mistakes and make this phone a contender for long term support. They just have to follow it with their 2.3 update properly... I.E. no bugs!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
I agree... I am keeping mine personally... I think this next update to 2.3 will have a nice new batch of drivers, specifically the tegra2 drivers since nvidia are driver freaks so I expect a performance boost via drivers as well as some fixes from LG such as the battery...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
employees cant return phones, but i can warranty exchange

which i just did. at first i thought i could deal with the bleeding in the top left corner, but now on CM7 with the black statusbar, it is extremely noticeable even with the dimmest brightness setting. so i caved in and am getting a replacement sent to me.

now i gotta unroot and go back to stock. and theres no guarantee that the replacement will be any better, but it cant get much worse than the bleed on mine. looking at all the pics i seem to have one of the worst on here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I'm leaning towards keeping it. I purchased two of them and my wife's has been just fine. I had the random reboots and exchanged mine. The new one has virtully no bleed and the reboots are gone. For anyone suffering from random reboots/shutdowns and lock ups, please exchange it. I thought I was just being paranoid, but my first one really had a problem. The new one is running like a champ.

The Sensation is tempting, but having to deal with a locked phone does not sound very fun at all. I know they will hack the loader eventually, but I really dislike having to deal with ads.

Six months from now there will be something cooler than the Sensation or G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
I think a lot of people are giving a little too much credit to LG for the Gingerbread update being the "magic wand" that will fix everything. Sure, it could but the cure all, BUT, if they hosed things up in Froyo, who's to say they didn't do the same (OR WORSE!) in Gingerbread?

Just saying!

It's a coin toss at the moment as to whether it's going to fix the problem or stay the same...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Profondo_Rosso:
Guys, it's really simple. I'm going to the tmobile store the day the Sensation is released, and if it gives me that Nexus One feel in hand, I'm throwing the g2x on Ebay.

That's really all there is to it. Just keep your G2X protected until that point. By that time you could have it rooted with a stable CM7 release, upping the price a bit more. If the Sensation is $499 off contract as rumored, you should be able to get close to that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
+1

Also consider the 02X has the same problems and was out six months before they released the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
+1

An HTC T-Mobile rep confirmed the pricing and the 6/8 launch date on the Sensation forum. They've already scheduled a big pre-launch party on 6/6.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr.orange303:
Im keeping mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] azsl1326:
Nice phone, but I sent mine back today to Amazon for a couple of reasons.

- I could not get the BT to sync in my car. It would pair, but would not find the BT the next time or any other time ...frustrating.

-The battery was OK, despite me making a lot of tweaks. If I started using it a lot it went down quickly.

- Amazon's policy is that you have to keep the contract open for 6 months with that phone or a $250 fee. Didn't want to bound to those terms as there are a slew of new phones coming out.

Think I am gonna wait for the HTC Sensation or the SII.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] *Omnipresent*:
Got my g2x on 4/20. Aside from slight light bleeding, my g2x has no issues. I'm keeping mine for now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
U can get a new g2x on ebay for 450 so if u paid retail your losing 90.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I'm gonna get hosed. Once the Sensation's out, I'll probably get $400 for the G2X on eBay by including the accessories I bought. I'll probably be upside down $200. I'm in the remorse period but I sold my G2 and need a smartphone until I get the Sensation. But as they say, "better to come from a broken home than live in one." ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I have a milestone on the way. Ima use that and im gonna just return for a refund. And if they talk restocking fee ima give them hell.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
how did XDA do with unlocking the Droid 2, Droid X, and Atrix ? Oh wait, none of them have been unlocked due to their signed bootloader. So you better hope that HTC doesn't lock theirs down as much as Moto has with their recent phones.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Really? I don't see any posts on the nightly CM7 thread that mention random reboots and freezes with the latest nightly. In fact I've been running the nightly for past day and half and it's been solid. Battery reporting inconsistencies are present, but it's looking better than stock with every nightly !
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
++2
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Thats my only concern
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Yea of all the bugs with CM7, reboots aren't one of them.

I think I'm keeping mine. My second phone has great battery and and no bleed.

Sensation points to having a locked bootloader. Neat looking device though but no tegra2 means no buy.

I think nvidia will really push some great games and app development specifically for tegra devices. Hate to be left out.

Maybe SGS2 cause of the screen but eh I dunno. They still are having GPS issues and I've been burned too many times by Samsung.

CM7 fixes lots of wifi and Bluetooth issues. I think the G2x is a great phone with a few quirks out the gate but from my experience they are minor.

sent from LG G2x: CM7 2.3.4

[T-Mobile LG G2x] thunderstruck!:
If it can't be unlocked, I'm not buying it. Hoping Cyan and crew can cook up a ROM that alleviates the annoyances I've run across, like random reboots, loss of signal, poor wifi to 4g handoff. Good news is I have 90 days from purchase to take it back to Costco.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
90 days? I shouldve bought from costco lol. The LG Rep on the LG Forum wrote that LG is aware of the random reboots and other software issues and will release a fix soon. He also says they are "looking into" the LCD Bleeding problem
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
Well that's promising information to be sure.

I would say OP, keep it. You can't bank on that HTC bootloader being cracked, as if it's anything like the Motos, there's not much luck there. I might consider an SGS II, but like others have said, both of those phones lack Tegra, which is a beast processor plus we've got Nvidia graphics, something the other two can't claim. Yeah, the fixes and gingerbread may not be the "magic wand" as someone said, but it's clear they're aware of what's going on, so I say give them a chance to prove they can fix it before you jump ship so soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JWhipple:
Yes - REALLY.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcbofkc:
I saw the devs already have a complete dump of the Sensation ROM. Does that mean they are closer to unlocking the bootloader. Kinda new to all this stuff. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
itll be easier to try and pick it apart but that doesn't mean they are close to it. a dump is pretty much the stock rom or what makes the rom before its released on the phone. it helps them build other roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hearmeout:
I am keeping my G2x. I love this device. It might not have amazing battery life, but I intend to call T-Mobile and have them send me another battery to see if it is the battery. I also don't expect it to last forever, since I text heavily, make phone calls heavy, and check twitter,email, and facebook throughout the day. As long as it gets me through school and work, I am good. Especially since it doesn't take forever to charge like my past phones have.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shambala69:
So I rooted my TB and something with my SMS has changed. Pre-root I could start a SMS to a group and that group would open so I could pick which individuals from that group I could message and it would also show the individual's phone number and email. This was very handy with the 10 recip. limit. Post-root that function has now vanished and it just gives me the "Limited to 10 recipients" error when I pick my group and kicks me out of the group SMS entry and into my entire people directory selection.

I know there are SMS programs I can use and I could also limit my group sizes but my morbid curiosity is getting the best of me. Anyone else seen this or know why it happened?
[General Questions and Answers] Oestrogen:
A quick question, I stumbled over this "release date/roadmap" chart for Verizon,

ttp://smartphonecenter.info/wp-content/plugins/RSSPoster_PRO/cache/d8461_verizon-roadmap-spring2011110330143135.jpg

And I was wondering if the Samsung Galaxy 2 is suppose to be some new phone, or is just the Galaxy S II that currently is available elsewhere? I am just trying to find more information about the Galaxy 2 that the Verizon will have and to see if the video reviews for the "Galaxy S II" is something equivalent I should I expect.

Also, any opinions on going with a Samsung Android phones over the "more" popular HTC phones. I played around with some HTC phones, and those are nice...But considering Samsung can afford AMOLED...That's even a big plus since from the video reviews of the recent phones, the screens are gorgeous as ****.

Basically, "Samsung Galaxy S II" = "Samsung Galaxy 2"?
[General Questions and Answers] TheBiles:
Horrible development communities for the Samsung devices. That alone is a deal-breaker for me. Not to mention how cheap they feel in your hand...
[General Questions and Answers] oka1:
I have had both phones HTC and Samsung, I have found the hardware better put together than the HTC or Motorola. Originally I thought that the all plastic (quote cheap feel) was going to be too weak but, after having a phone for about a year it is really pretty resilient. That and 40% less weight is awesome. I could give a damn about Samsung software since i customize the phone and have done to all my phones. XDA is my update center not Samsung or HTC. So the S2 as of today has the best hardware to date and unless something changes that is the next phone I will be getting. Also, HTC is trying to lock the bootloader so you can't root the phone...... screw any company that tries to dictate what I do on MY phone ........... that in itself is the real deal breaker
[General Questions and Answers] stondec:
Samsung Galaxy S II

Samsung Galaxy S II all the way. Screw HTC trying to lock up their bootloaders, that means I'm also locking HTC out of my wallet. Right now no phone on the planet compares to the S2. My only issue is that I want the thing to be released in the USA yesterday - on all networks.
[General Questions and Answers] Oestrogen:
Come on guys, you are missing the point. Yes, I understand that the Galaxy is a great phone...I am just trying to figure out if the one that will be released for Verizon under the name "Galaxy 2" will be the same as the "S II" or whatever is called.
