Is this newer than the QnD 1.2.4 rom?
Look at the number lol. 1.2.11 > 1.2.4

i repeat :
this rom does contain 20% of english translation only !
Even you change to english language :
your 80% of menu still display "Chinese".
So, this is useless unless you understand simplified Chinese. I'll wait on g4rb4g3 to release a port.

Device Specific Language Packs
I think that language packs are device specific.. I haven't been able to find a language pack on the net for the G2.. though I did manage to a how to guide but I'm green to this stuff..
If somebody out here is familiar with how to do this guide and create a language pack for the G2 for us.. that would be helpful.
djmcnz said:
Okay guys, there's a lot of demand for this rom and for language packs but not yet a lot of people who know how to make the packs. Whilst I set up the crowdin translation project I can not create or maintain language packs.
So, here's a summary of the instructions required to create a language pack for MIUI (indeed for any app/rom). You need a collection of tools and a little patience but the process isn't too difficult so do give it a go.
Also note that this summary includes generalisations for brevity. These instructions assume you have a deodexed rom.
Introduction
For the purposes of this post language information is stored in XML strings in files on the Android system. In the case of MIUI and these instructions we will be dealing with .apk files (applications).
Within the apk files is a resources directory (/res) and within this are various values directories, there is a default values directory (/res/values) and alternative language values directories (e.g. /res/values-DE and /res/values-IT).
If the rom is set to use it's default language it will read values from /res/values although these may NOT be in English. In MIUI, all of the common Android ASOP values in /res/values are English but the (additional) custom MIUI strings are in Simplified Chinese.
If you select a different language in the ROM than the default then the appropriate values directory will be searched. If a suitable string that matches your language selection is found in the alternative /res/values-xx directory then that string will be used instead. If an alternative does not exist then the default will be used.
Example:
Code:
/res/[COLOR="red"]values[/COLOR]/strings.xml
<stop_button_text>[COLOR="Red"]Stop[/COLOR]</stop_button_text>
/res/[COLOR="red"]values-DE[/COLOR]/strings.xml
<stop_button_text>[COLOR="red"]Halt[/COLOR]</stop_button_text>
/res/[COLOR="red"]values-IT[/COLOR]/strings.xml
<stop_button_text>[COLOR="red"]Basta[/COLOR]</stop_button_text>
In this example, if the language is set to the default the word "Stop" will be used, if it is set to German the word "Halt" will be substituted in, likewise "Basta" for Italian.
So, to add languages to a rom (or app) or to make an app multi-lingual you need to either change the default strings in /res/values/strings.xml to the ones you want to use or, and this is the preferable approach, add a /res/values-xx/strings.xml with the translations you want. The first approach will work (changing the default strings) but is not recommended because the Android Open Source Project and Android development in general, defaults to English. It's best to use the built in language substitution capabilities of Android rather than to work around them. Indeed, if the MIUI devs actually added their strings in English to /res/values/strings.xml and the Chinese equivalents in the appropriate directory this rom would already be in English!
Adding Languages
To add a translation file (strings.xml) to an apk you need to:
decode the apk
create a language directory
add the translation files
recompile the strings
add the new strings to the apk
Which all sounds a little daunting but it's really quite straight-forward, rewarding when you see the result and a good way to understand how parts of Android work. Here's how you can do it.
1. decode the apk
You will need the excellent apktool from brut.all which you can get from the link below. apktool is relatively easy to use but includes some little tricks so you will need to read the wiki and thread about it.
Do NOT just post problems about apktool if you can't get it to work. The tool DOES work so if it's not decoding (or encoding) your apps correctly then you're probably doing something wrong. If you start with this understand BEFORE you ask for support you'll get a lot more help...
apktool: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
wiki: http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/w/list
thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640592
Please make sure you run the following command to include the MIUI framework in apktool. You only need to do this once for each framework. If apktool works with one rom and not the next then (re)install the framework for that rom.
Code:
apktool if framework-res.apk
Where framework-res.apk is the one from the rom you are working with. Make sure apktool can find (the correct) framework-res.apk before you run this command.
This thread is not for apktool support.
Now, before you proceed, decode a simple app from MIUI (such as updater.apk) using apktool, do not make ANY changes, then re-encode it using apktool. For example:
Code:
apktool d Updater.apk ./decoded/
apktool b ./decoded/ new_updater.apk
Use the -v (verbose) flag in apktool if you have problems and need to diagnose further.
Remember, Android uses a case-sensitive file system, make sure your capitalisation is correct.
Typically you will not be able to install this apk because it is not signed so if you want to test the process further you can now just try step 5 below using the two apks you have.
2. create a language directory
Assuming you can decode/encode now, this is the easy bit. For your decoded app, navigate to the directory it was decoded in, then to the /res/ directory and simply create an empty directory for your language (e.g. /values-FR/) - use international naming conventions.
3. add the translation files
Again, not too difficult this. Download the appropriate language file for your apk from the crowdin project linked below and, using the same structure as exists in /res/values/strings.xml create a new file called strings.xml in your alternative language directory (e.g. /res/values-ES/strings.xml).
The news strings.xml may contain as many or as few translations as you like. Remember, if a translation does not exist the default value from /res/values/strings.xml will be used.
Crowdin: http://crowdin.net/project/miui-rom-translation/invite
The xml formatting and tag names need to match exactly with the default strings.xml in /res/values although the translated file does NOT need to be complete.
It is worth remembering here that unless your source apk is already translated to English then some of the default values in /res/values/strings.xml will still be in Chinese, it would pay to check these.
4. recompile the strings
Now, if you've done everything carefully and correctly this step is really easy, all you need to do is recompile the apk with apktool using the b (for Build) switch.
Code:
apktool b ./<decoded_apk_dir>/ <output_apk_name>.apk
If this throws errors or does not work then use the -v switch to turn on verbose mode and diagnose your problem. If you did the test in step #1 and it worked then any problem at this step is likely related to your news strings.xml. Back out the changes one by one until you have found the problem and try again.
If you simply can't get it to compile with your changes then try just making a single change to the default strings.xml file in /res/values and see if that works for you.
Do NOT sign the apk!
5. add the new strings to the apk
Easy. Open your new apk with a zip program (like 7Zip for Windows) and copy out the resources.arsc file in the root directory of the apk. Now take that file and copy it into the source apk from the rom overwriting the existing one. This process replaces the strings but keeps the integrity of the signatures on the files.
You can now push the modified file to your phone, replacing the stock one, reboot and you're translated. Push the file using "adb push" or copy it into place using a root file manager, do not "install" the new apk. Make sure you put it in the correct place (replace the original) and reboot.
Conclusion
This process will help you add languages to any app including those in the MIUI rom. Because it's a rom the strings are contained in many different apps as well as framework-res.apk. To completely translate the rom you will need to edit every apk that has strings in it.
You will need to do this every time an apk in the rom changes. If a new version is released and say launcher2.apk is changed but updater.apk is not, then you can retain your updater.apk but you'll need to re-edit your launcher2.apk.
When an app changes the default strings.xml may also change. In this case you will need to make corresponding changes to your translations.
Good luck and if you get really stuck there's lots of people in this that have achieved success and may be willing to help!

MIUI 1.2.11 for Vision ENG
Hi, all. I like the MIUI ROM and as most of you want to have latest version as soon as posible. But I am not a dev and my skills in android development are very very poor. So, i followed the versions of MIUI by g4rb4g3. They all are very stable and fast. And i want to say once more HUGE THANX to him for his work.
But when i found this thread today in the morning i decide to make it in english. So, putting together the ROM from 1st post and ENG pack for N1 from MIUI-DEV.COM with some additional editing of built.prop and adding some apps. I made a pack. Flashed it and it is working fine.
P.S. The only chinese words that i found are in MIUI account registration in Accounts&sync.
Adding: Facebook, Twitter, VoiceSearch, Google Search, gMaps, Street, GMail etc. (all apks are up to date).

Hi,
I'm developed a tool named DSMBuilder.
It's a GUI tool for make dsm files.
Package = DSM File
You can :
- Create a new package (DSM file),
- Load a existing package and modify it,
- Load new certificate for package,
- Save the certifcate of package for use in another package,
- Load new dependency packages
- Remove certificate
- Rebuild the file and module list,
- Change the friendly name of package and other attributes.
- View list of Dependency packages and Shadow GUI List
- DSM Information updated with new structure.
- Remove one dependency package
- Clear list of dependencys package and shadow GUI list
- Beta version. Tested and generate a valid DSM file with all parts.
Changelog:
2008-08-08 :
- bug fix. DSM file not saved where attributes Hidden, System or ReadOnly is setting in file.
2008-07-28:
- Initial release.
Excuse me for my bad english.

2 - Me say what are the options that are not in English? (So I can fix them)
3 - I will add this option
4 - I'm planning functions for add and delete dependent packages list and shadown GUI list
I'm too plannig another tool based in this (mixed of pkgtool and BuildOS)
and DSM files will be saves in a xml file (also as xxxxx.dsm.xml, incorporate the actual option.xml) for future edit and manipulations.
What do you think about this?

many improvements mate . but i still have some observations:
1. tool doesn't modify the DSM if it is having 'read only', 'system' & 'hidden' attributes. i've to remove those attributes first if i want to modify a dsm. it would be better if the tool can modify the dsm without having to remove these attributes (at least we shouldn't need to remove 'system' and 'hidden' atrributes).
2. pls add the option to minimize the tool
and i've a question, what's the use of 'dependency package list' and 'shadow gui list'? what will happen if i remove all of these dependencies from a dsm like the dsm in Shell?

Good question! The dependencies are used to indicate that packages must be present so that it functions properly. The "Shadow GUI List" is a mystery to be solved. The correct that we would be tools of manipulation of ROMS to examine it and say what is missing. You are in my plans to create a new tool to manipulate ROMS with these characteristics.
@anmendes, could you pls explain this:
what's the use of 'dependency package list' and 'shadow gui list'? what will happen if i remove all of these dependencies from a dsm like the dsm in Shell or any other dsm in SYS?

Tools needed: smali, baksmali (google them), a JDK, and an extracted factoryfs.rfs from an éclair ROM.
(If you don't have a linux machine to mount an .rfs file to a directory never forget that your device has linux on it, so it can actually mount the .rfs file to a directory)
First collect the files you need from factoryfs.rfs:
/app/AxT9IME.apk
/app/AxT9IME.odex
/lib/libXt9core.so (this is actually the same file that's inside the apk)
/lib/libDHWR.so
/framework/android.policy.odex
/framework/core.odex
/framework/ext.odex
/framework/framework.odex
/framework/services.odex
Copy all the odex files into the same directory as baksmali is. Disassemble it with:
java -jar baksmali.jar -x AxT9IME.odex
This should create an out directory, with the disassembled, and deoptimized files. Now reassemble them, with smali:
java -jar out
This should create an out.dex file. Rename it to classes.dex, and put it into the AxT9IME.apk (don't be fooled by the extension, it's a simple zip file)
Now copy the following files to your phone:
AxT9IME.apk --> /system/app
libXt9core.so --> /system/lib
libDHWR.so --> /system/lib
Remove the following files:
/system/app/AxT9IME.odex
/system/lib/libdhwr.so (this is lowercase. The above was uppercase. Case does matter!)
Now try to enable the samsung keyboard. If everything goes well then you can now use the old keyboard.
-----
Alternatively if you needed the keyboard from the XWJM8 version, you can download the result files from here: http://android.sztupy.hu/dl/SamsungKeyboardFroyo.zip
Thank you
can I use this method in order to replace framework.jar/framework.odex from another build?
JHJP4 support proper BIDI (for Hebrew/Arabic and other RTL languages)
And how do we do the opposite? Want 2.44 on eclair =)
Should work the same

No, framework.jar is too much different between eclair and froyo. You can only port simple applications (in /system/app) this way.

It would only work if the new keyboard doesn't use anything FroYo specific (like gesture support, or enhanced multitouch support). If it does use froyo specific api functions it will break under eclair.

If framework.jar changes then all pre-optimized files (odex) have to be reoptimized (the same way as the tutorial above shows), and even after that it might not work...
hi can I ask a few questions. I don't know much about these complicated things, but I will try my best.
can we collect files you asked us from factoryfs, through root explorer.
you asked to copy file with capital letters to phone and then asked to remove same file name with small letters. can one directory have two files with same name?
and finally how would we copy files to the phone?
thanks.

You can use rootexplorer to transfer the files to /sdcard modify them on the PC, tran transfer them back from /sdcard to their location.
thanks I really appreciate your help can I ask you another simple question. I have downloaded jdk.
and installed it. how do I use these commands to disessemble, java jar. is there any special java prograame. thanks.
thanks v much. problem solved. ported urdu keyboard from eclair to jpk. thanks again.
How do I know which files from /lib do I need to replace?
I'm trying to use contacts apk from other froyo rom
So, I tried the above instructions, and all I get is errors with bksmali, but i get the out directory, then when I run smali, it get another bunch of errors, but no out.dex. Any help would be amazing.
I haven't tried any of this other than trying to just install the AxT9IME.apk which obviously didn't work. I can enable it but trying to switch to it or access its settings instantly resorts in a force closure.
What I don't think I've seen mentioned is whether or not the end result of this allows you to have both the 2.2 and the 2.1 keyboards. Could anyone clarify for me if you get both or just the 2.1 keyboard in the end?
Lastly, would it be possible for someone to write an app (downloadable via market) for this keyboard for any android version? Because that'd be pretty awesome.
It'd be nice if it didnt create an app-drawer icon, but I wouldn't mind as Go Launcher allows me to hide unwanted apps.
I honestly like the 2.2 keyboard, but the 2.1 one (with its 4 pages) has symbols in on it that I have seen no where else, which is pretty cool and why I'm wanting it.

I already tryed to increase the max. resolution to 8000x8000px for jpg a week ago but it didnt worked
This file exists 2 times and I flashed them correctly to the wave (tested with sTunes after flash), the limits seems to be set somewhere else...
The image sizelimit is also higher than 4096000 byte (or what it is) - about 10 mb.
I would have liked to tweak this setting to 200 or more and see but unfortunately there are not that many good apps to install.

Yes, via sTune this file is twice.
It seems writeprotected files are most in folder SystemFS... as Backup.
If you check via TriX Firmware files. Then Contents.xml is in *.FFS... maybe edit before flashing. Then changes in both files on handset.
Not tested yet...

At the moment I have nothing changed in this file, so no idea what happens.
Maybe soon few tests...

No bro' I was offering my own suggestions to this configuration file.
It might allow us to install more than 100 apps in phone and show in Menu.
Second it might show Java apps icons in Menu.

it's into the 'app counter' field, '-1' may be means 'unlimited' number of java apps installable, but I haven't read yet the whole xml... anyway if it is editable it's an interesting thing..
I saw that file a while ago while looking for something inside my phone (very special thing that made me to copy the whole phone)
there is a lot of interesting things but i never tried tweaking it
Maybe if someone have enough knowledge to add few new extensions and test them
Also removing some stupid limits would be awsome
Sorry i've no time to test that with you guys but would appreciate results

You dont need modif ffs or other just use pfs file to modif what you want and in real time direct phone flash pfs file and not have write protect problem
Just says Thank
Example file : dont give attention of boot img cause i dont take time to do it in 800x480 but its 400x240 then its make bug but with pfs file you can upload anything you want to change !!!
Good hack !!!
Maybe with this you can create dual boot or i dont know what a pro smoker can do, you can also try to put her rc2 or rc1 directory i dont try it !!!
Download example, in this one you can see SystemFS and Registry directory, off course you can put her all directory you want to flash pfs, using trix to modified or wave remaker more faster :
https://rapidshare.com/files/809973956/Circle.pfs
An idea its like you can make your one firmware with personal Widget installed and other idea welcome....Just take file registry and Widget folder on phone and put it on PFS

As I'm a newbie here, I'm not aloud to post this in the dev section.
So I'll explain how you can simply change you're physical keyboard layout on Gingerbread and ICS easily without flashing an appropriate kernel for the Xperia Pro mk16i iyokan.
-So first you need root access.
-second, you need to install a root explorer like ES file explorer.
activate the root access to /system in the option of ES file explorer.
-ones you're here, you need to identify all the layout you're rom got. they are listed as xml files in the directory:
/system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts
my rom contains almost all keyset imaginable.
-Now you've find the name of your keyset find the file :
/system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml
-edit it with the file explorer integrated file editor.
-you'll find a file formatted with a fanzy SE header and that:
HTML:
<Keyprint>
<Script name="arabic" keylayout="arabic"/>
<Script name="cyrillic" keylayout="cyrillic"/>
<Script name="greek" keylayout="greek"/>
<Script name="hebrew" keylayout="hebrew"/>
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty"/>
<Script name="thai" keylayout="thai"/>
</Keyprint>
-Choose the alphabet you use and put the name of your layout without the xml file extension.
if you're europeen or american, I guest latin will be you're choice.
For arabic, greek, croatian russian... and every other languages using an another alphabet I let you choose
So for example if I want to change my latin layout from Qwerty to Qwertz
I replace the line
HTML:
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwerty"/>
by
HTML:
<Script name="latin" keylayout="qwertz"/>
-so save the file and reboot you're phone, you should now get the right keyboard set for you're phone.
Or you can edit it with adb by pulling the file and pushing it after (but it's a bit more tricky
Have a good night and if anybody can move my thread in the good section I'll be very pleased
ps:
All credits and inspiration came from the original post of ameer1234567890 which provide a lot of flashable layout.
I think this works only on stock and stock based ROMs. Can someone please confirm if this works on a ROM like CM7 or CM9.
I'd like to know too, because i used to use cm7 on htc dz but as cm7 or 9 are still in dev for mk16i I never tried them on mine for now
Hey.can u be more specific? How to do this?
I got the file..and now what should i do?
Thnx

I had an example in the tuto, if you still don't understand, I'll try to explain it again ;-)
Good luck
This does not work in 3rd party apps (smart keyboard pro and swiftkey), also on some cases chrome will misbehave as well. I think chrome is bypassing the xperia keyboard when it's trying to be super-secure such as entering passwords.
Chrome won't show you virtual keyboard at all in such cases so I think it can be safely filed under BUG but that won't help if you can't sign in. Using opera mobile as a workaround works..
I'm pretty sure the stock gingerbread finnish firmware played nice with smart keyboard pro. There's a link in the "root" Xperia pro thread where you can download "hotfix" for Xperia pro. These claim to be keyboard layouts for various languages. These are NOT the text files you describe here but the actual android keymap files.
They did not work for me, though, boo. I'll have to try again. The files in keychars-folder (MAKE BACKUPS!!) are .kcm.bin while the originals are called .kcm. I would assume both are not used at the same time. In keylayouts (backup bro) the replacement files are .kl, same as original but smaller.
3rd party keyboard has never been my point.
Stock android is handling physical keyboard a certain way, and virtual keyboard such as slide it or swiftkey do as they want with that kind of thing.
Switft never works correctly for me with stock rom or with custom rom.
Sorry if it doesn't work.
but if every software interprete keyboard there own way, we're damn lost. I never use Chrome but I guest it can also interprets keyboard layout its own way.
the flash fix you talk about is interesting, I'll try it asap. thks
Those keyboard layout/keychars files just make the HW keyboard stop working properly. I think they come from mini pro. Or at the very least they'd need some configury thingy somethere.
As a positive note, they DO make HW keyboard behave differently but swedish/finnish one definitely does not produce local chars.
Meh, I guess I need to fork up 2€ for wotanserver to get authentic finnish firmware.
FWIW I'm pretty sure stock finnish gingerbread firmware didn't have a problem with smart keyboard pro. And android + keyboard is a bit of a odd-man-out, we don't even get a forum..
Ed: Chrome works ok 95% of the time, I should file bug about text boxes where it goes crazy.
That's too bad, that it doesn't work for you.
Fact is we are at the border of android with physical keyboard.
And ow with nexus 3 without physical button except for sound and power...
I think (not hope) that physical keyboard for phones is almost arrived at its end.
Regarding stock firmwares, my update to ICS made by official sony companion just put me a Qwerty layout :-D so don't be so sure about stock firmwares ;-)
Umlauts in quertz
anybody know how to fix the orders of the umlauts for qwertz layout in the pop-up and make the SYM-Button working?
flashing of files newer worked for me, or a could'nt more use the shortcuts like copy-paste...
see also this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658959&page=20
Search trough the web for solution. nothing.
Physical keyboard has a driver, or own FW or sumthing?
And can i have the stock xperia physical keyboard app?
My sym button doesn't work, my direction arrows are weird, qwerty-stroke keyboard layout. But i accept the latin one too
Or where is this "driver"-stuff in the ROM? Can i copy from old ROM (which one is working), to ICS .587 (which don't)?
Thanks in advance

Good Post, i tried it but it does not work after i reboot.
So my keyboard is still the QWERTY layout instead of QWERTZ
Also, some detailed instructions on ES Explorer.
Once you open ES Explorer, Left Drawer --> Go to Tools --> Root Explorer --> Mount RW --> Set / to RW
Now you can follow the steps to edit the keyprint.xml
Again let me remind you, i tried this and it does not work. So if i have done it the wrong way, please let me know.

or
Attachments to the input language for the installation of rekaveri

just take them out of their firmware and copier with replacement
Unzip archiver

that's all I can suggest

This file is laid out as an example to the instructions
to set the language in the letter rekaveri
how to add input languages in the firmware
you need to replace these files to the firmware files from the Persian
and install assembled archive files through the superseding rekaveri
I do not have Persian firmware
I do not where to make the assembly
-------
copy and place the entire folder in the archive /system
I'll see what can be done
i undrestand that i should replace persian language files from lg stock rom to your custom rom is this right?
i have persian lg rom (V10G_00.kdz) but i can't extract persian language files from it
how can i do this?

But i have used this ROM earlier. and had great trouble with network(data network) and I liked your alex rev3 rom Very much. Just two drawbacks.
I did not like the default background image of androidhawk .It could have been a black screen.
I just hate call screen. Its too boring with switch and i accidently reject and pickup calls.Please make it look modern.
Thats all. Thank you.Please fix it if possible.
Thank you sooo much for this!! This is my favorited ROM for LG P698. A little advice:
Maybe it would be better if the display font and display buttons or menus style on change as the display like BRD_p698_21062012 ROM-v2, so the look of this rom may be more visible light and fast. Also the background wallpaper looks not good. I like the status bar style. :fingers-crossed:
