[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noxxious:
then i guess it's for those who just flashed stock italian GB. :)

CSC files contain settings for region/carrier for 3G and not really for modem. :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manadus:
So anyone succeed to get Arabic working ?

Or is there any 2.3.3. Rom supporting Arabic ?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
There is still no official Arabic gingerbread release by samsung so there is only temporary patch to partially enable Arabic on Overcome Gold. Go to "the overcome experience" website to download the patch.

Samsung is quite busy with the upcoming releases of the 10.1 and 8.9 tabs so it will take a while for the updates. Even the Italian gingerbread had become unofficial now that it has been pulled out.

If I were you you can write a letter to samsung to pressure them to release an arabic gb..
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manadus:
As I don't like to come back to Froyo, I'll try Overcome Gold Rom and try the arabic patch.

I tried your solution before flashing the new OVERCOME HERMES, nothing happen.

The new OVERCOME ROM is offering full support for Arabic except for writing.

Good job for the team of OVERCOME ROM.

THANK YOU FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM.

We're waiting for the final round in order to get the full support of Arabic.

I roodted from this post.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manadus:
No Samsung doesn't release yet gingerbread for middle east, that's why we were finding difficulties to find a ROM supporting Arabic.

If you're actually on FROYO and looking for Gingerbread supporting Arabic, the team of OVERCOME have solved the problem with their new HERMES ROM.

If you have already flashed your Tab with the Italian Gingerbread and you like to get the Arabic support through csc exchanging file, I'll not advise you this way. I have tried this without success. Just flash the new OVERCOME ROM HERMES.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faheemfb:
thank you for your help

i dont want arabic support.I have flashed with italian gingerbread and now my 3G internet is not working to make it work i want CSC. if there is any other way to make it work please help me.

[Defy General] WolVish:
Hi guys,

New to xda.. I own a defy with 2.2.2 official SEA. I want to update to CM7 RC0, without losing the downgrade ability. After reading a lot in xda, I've got a fair amount of knowledge to flash my phone. Just have a couple of queries..

Quick question:

Considering option 1, I have the official ROM (full sbf, 2.2.2 for India) downloaded here. If I flash to CM7, can I re-flash it with the official full sbf to claim warranty? Considering the scenario that I only have contacts and sms to restore and I don't want to restore settings, apps and all. I like to do them anew (even if it takes time).

Technically, that would be like formatting the drive which has the operating system, instead of restoring an image.. Is that possible? Is Nandroid Backup + fixed sbf is the only way to go back to the stock OS to claim warranty?

P.S. - I still don't get what fixed sbf is. Can anyone help?
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
Just create a backup of your current OS if anything happens restore it.
[Defy General] WolVish:
You mean Nandroid backup? Can i restore just that file (and not the sbf) in case anything goes wrong?
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
If your device is rooted download the 1.4.2 version of 2ndinit go into custom recovery and create a backup, then boot back up normally and connect device to the computer and copy the backup to a safe place on your computer, so if you ever need to back it up, you will have the file.
[Defy General] WolVish:
I mean do I always need an sbf file to restore an image?
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
No you only need sbf. file to flash a image, to restore and image all you need is a copy of a backup.
[Defy General] WolVish:
Hmm.. okay... Consider this scenario:

1. I'm having official 2.2.2 SEA ROM

2. I just want to root, install a custom recovery (take a backup in Nandroid), make changes to the current ROM and I'm NOT flashing a new ROM ie like CM7.

3. Can I just restore the backup from recovery if something goes wrong (without any sbf of course)?

4. Do I still have to install 2nd init in that case?

P.S. - Thanks to your patient replies bro.. Much appreciated :)
[Defy General] memz180:
Yes you can downgrade back to sea version using sbf file

Just make a nandroid backup if anything goes wrong restore the nandroid you made plus flash it with the fixed or full sbf file of sea and it will bring everything back the way it was that's what i did anyway and it worked

Let me know how cm7 is on the SEA version if it works stable ill install it

Cheers
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
Yes 2ndinit is a custom recovery program as long as you have that you wont need sbf. Files. Sbf. Files are used with RSD lite in order to install custom roms. You can use any recovery program you want, best I have found to use on the defy is 1.4.2 version of 2ndinit.
[Defy General] ATXiceman512:
Mem check your message please
[Defy General] WolVish:
Why should i use Nandroid, If I want to flash with full sbf of my SEA official ROM?It'll be factory fresh right?

Sure.. But in Quarx's thread, It was advised to flash Nordic ROM first before installing CM7.
[Defy General] memz180:
Yes thats correct some people have installed over the SEA version and its full working im yet to test this i have however tested the NORDIC II version and flashed cm7 beta 6 and that did work nicely but i went back to SEA15 until cm7 releases a more bug free version.
[Defy General] WolVish:
What i found in the Official SEA 2.2.2 ROM's thread

Nordic is the way to go it seems.. :)
[Defy General] memz180:
Nice find because i just got my sea15 back i listened to someone from here like a idiot they said they were running SEA15 with cm7 which is a lie because it when i installed cm7 i got a never ending boot loop so id like to say it does not work with sea15 it took me an 1hr to restore all my stuff back to the way it was so yes NORDIC I or II is the way to go thanks for the info
[Defy General] WolVish:
You're welcome mate.. Heard review that RC0 is way better than Beta6.. :)
[Defy General] ShiroHouseki:
Finnaly the thread i've been looking for.

I'm currently on official German 2.2.2. I really want to try out CM7 but the tutorials keep telling me I need a sbf (wich is not available at this moment) of my version if I want to downgrade again.

So just to be sure:

Having a sbf is not an absolute must?

And in the case anything goes awry (eg. boot loop) I just have to restore it via my nandroid backup, unroot, deinstall 2ndInit, wipe and I'm practically back were I started, right?
[Defy General] WolVish:
That's correct. Even if you can't find a full sbf (carrier released version of your OS, usually a large file, 200-300 MB), make sure you have one nandroid backup of your data/settings and a fixed sbf (usually stripped down version, less size <50 MB) of your current OS. This would enable you to re-flash in case you have to claim warranty.

I don't think so. You MUST have one if you want to claim warranty. Even if you don't need warranty, still you need either Nordic ROM or UK ROM (sbf files, mind you :) )to be flashed first to install CM7.. Other ROMs are not recommended.

This only works If you flashed with nandroid + fixed sbf of the Nordic/UK ROM.

OR

You have the full sbf of your current ROM, which you can flash from RSD lite.

Hope this helps...

P.S. - Can anyone confirm these answers?
[Defy General] ShiroHouseki:
Aww, well i guess i'll be waiting for the sbf files then :(

Well, thank you anyway for the info.

Who releases this sbf files anyway? Are they somehow extracted out of offical update packages or are they leaked from service contractors?
[Defy General] Tw18:
I am also confused. I thought a nandroid was a complete image of the phone and didn't require an SBF?

Putting it in PC terms I considered a nandroid the equivilent to a ghost image of a HDD? So if I had a PC with XP on it and took a ghost image of that it would be a complete copy of the drive. I could then install Vista on that drive and when / if I wanted to restore the ghost image and it would restore XP onto that system?

I understood an SBF to be a system image as such, but not including the very base level stuff that a nandroid backup would have and hence why you can flash a 2.2.2 rom but need a 2.2 SBF flashed on the phone?

Or am i getting confused?
[Defy General] WolVish:
I think your German 2.2.2 ROM has been added only yesterday. Go to www.motorola.com/update, select your region - Select MOTODEFY - Follow instructions.. (Don't forget to do a hard reset after updating :))

Full sbf s are released by the Manufacturers/Carriers. It's like untouched windows XP cd. You can directly update via MSU or use RSDlite to flash it..

Fixed sbf s can be made by anyone, maybe you or me, by making some tweaks, just like we do to Windows XP using nlite (which i'm still not that familiar with :confused:)
[Defy General] WolVish:
That only applies in this scenario

1. You have the official OS, you have rooted your device, then you have installed a custom recovery. You can take a backup if you want make changes to the Official ROM. If something goes wrong, you can restore the backup

2. If you are playing around with flashing new ROMs, you need a fixed sbf to restore the nandroid (for that specific ROM mind you).

We need to flash either Nordic froyo or UK froyo because Quarx uses these two ROMs for the development of his version of CM7 for DEFYs. If you update directly from your stock OS, you might face problems like endless bootloop and other bugs..

Welcome to the club.. :D
[Defy General] Tw18:
ok I'm more confused now.

I understood a ROM to be say a theme in XP, just manufactures customisation to the basic includin their own apps etc

So why did you need a 2.2 sbf which I understand to be the OS to flash CM7 which I thought was 2.3, why do you not flash a 2.3 sbf?
[Defy General] WolVish:
That has to be answered by the experts.. Anyone here.. ????
[Defy General] ShiroHouseki:
Indeed it is released, thanks for the heads up, I'm now going to flash like a madman :D

A ROM is more like everything softwareish inside a PC including the BIOS. The Major Problem with the Defy is: It is still locked. There is no way to really flash anything other than a signed official sbf. Motorolla thought it would be funny to lock the bootloader with a 1024 bit RSA key and is now being tsundere about whether they unlock it or not.

So anyway CM7 is not really running on a 2.3 Android kernel, it's using a 2.2 kernel and adds the 2.3 features.

Well that's how i got it anyway. I just hope they will release a unlocker later this year for every phone, just like HTC said they'll do. In a perfect world of course there wouldn't be any locking to begin with, every manufactor would release any device drivers documented source code and will give full warranty for the hardware without considering installed software (OS). Till then we have to tinker around like that.
[Defy General] Tw18:
that kinda clears things up for now, cheers :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jp22382:
Hi all,

I'm new to themes and am trying to figure out where the various 4G connection icons are located so I can change them from green to white.

Running the GreybreadX theme, which is great, but the 4G icon is still green.

I was able to locate the 3-bar and disconnected icons within framework-res.apk but not sure where to look for the 2-bar and 1-bar icons.

Any suggestions on where to check?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] decalex:
You should find them in /system/app/SystemUI.apk

inside there: SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/

Then look for pngs beginning with stat_sys_data_wimax

..all sorts of notification bar (etc) goodies in there. If you're decompiling and/or modding xml/smali though, I'd read up on it first within these forums.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jp22382:
Ok so I finally got around to editing the 4G icons to be white/grey instead of green/grey, removed the originals from SystemUI.apk and placed mine in there, and placed the edited SystemUI.apk in /system/app/ (made backups of everything).

Rebooted and I still have green/grey 4G icons... what am I missing here? :)

Edited png files attached.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] decalex:
I don't have it in front of me, but check the framework-res.apk in the drawable hdpi folder. There are a couple sets of 4G icons- once its activated, and then to display your signal.

Also, btw, i usually just drag the edited icons over into the apk (in 7zip) and make sure it asks to replace the files... just to make sure the file names are the same.

. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jp22382:
Ended up going back to the stock systemui.apk and using Ninjamorph to overwrite the original images. Worked perfectly!

My hero is stuck at the HTC screen on boot

I did not mod or root my Hero.

I need to know how to re flash my phone back to normal , i have tried to hold home back and end key to reset along with just home and end key and my device still will not boot

Just a Suggestion but if you hold Volume Down and Power On the phone can you see Any Options... Such as Bootloader, HBoot, or Factory Reset?

If so, Try the Factory Reset Option!

Other than that you can Probably use the FastBoot Option by plugging in your USB wire!

File with the FCC. If they HAD service where you live when you signed, and now they don't it CAN BE construed as breach of contract on their part. The FCC may help you with either getting a better response or get you out of your contract with Verizon with no ETF. Just know that it will take a couple of weeks to get resolved through them.

FCC, huh? I know I don't need help getting out of my contract. They blantly offered to let me out of contract on the second phone call. Either I was complaining heavily or they aren't concerned about retaining customers. I really want them to fix the problem and not just cut me loose. It's not that I can't afford to change carriers as I could sell all four of my Droids and have more than enough to go with ATT. I just don't want data caps and Tmobile and Sprint have no coverage in my area. I could hack Sprint enough so that it would work with the Verizon partnership that's in my area, but I really don't want to do that. Although, if Sprint came out here... I would be nice. lol

FYI: If you do go the FCC route (I really hope you don't have to though) you will be contacted by Verizon's executive office. Telecoms have no choice but to respond quickly (and most likely in a favorable way for/to you). GL.

[Off-topic] Laramie1997:
Well, as an update, I'm still working with Verizon in an attempt to get this matter solved. I'm starting to wonder if they haven't decomissioned a tower in the area for one reason or another because using some software with work and just knowing the general layout of my area, I can't see a Verizon cell tower for about a seven mile radius which uh, isn't right or it wasn't at one point.

Right now they have me marking my calls when they either drop, have poor call quality or can't connect at all. All I have to do is when this happens, I just dial ***** so that on the record it tells them to go back and look at the call before it. Supposedly, they can go in and look at which tower the phone used, transceiver on the tower and the node on the transceiver.

I still haven't called the FCC as I'm trying to be patient as I can be. My next step is to start turning in trouble tickets from my company's account that has something like 320 different Verizon lines. That's cell phones alone. If you threw in netbooks and air cards, you'd be looking at over 500 devices.. Maybe that would get their attention. I dunno.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinstlouis:
Hey. I just rooted my phone and I am trying to flash some things but I can't do so anymore because my version of clockwork MOD no longer supports Amend, I believe it is...

SO, I read that I need to revert to an older Clockwork Mod recover ROM to be able to flash these items

There is an option in Rom manager to go back to the 2.5.0.7 and I currently have 3.0.0.5. Is this safe?

My question is, if I have done a nandroid backup, I fear that messing with this clockwork mod thing will erase everything and not let me have the options to recover stuff...and if something screws up, how could I recover my nandroid backup. Do I need to have a functioning clockwork mod to do this, just in case downgrading messes this up?

I hope this makes sense! I guess I am just wondering if downgrading to a prior vesion of cockwork mod will mess my life up.

Thanks

You can't use rom manager to downgrade, as they are not for the evo.

Download the version on want, just make sure to rename it so it only says PC36IMG, place on the root of your sd card, boot into the bootloader, then apply update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinstlouis:
Thank you for your response. This won't mess my phone up so that I can't boot in to the recover mod? I am thinking it would be safe otherwise you wouldn't have recommended it.

I understand about renaming the file...when it goes through it's boot up thing, will it simply ask me to apply the update?

Thanks
