I have use the 5 steps to get to 3.1 on my uk3g xoom, but lost the uk English as language.
Is there anyway I can extract that from my nandroid backup of original 3.0.1 xoom and install it?
Where should I be looking?

Swype: making it "thinner"

I purchased in Singapore a Samsung Tablet P1000
Froyo 2.2
current version: PDA: JK2
Phone: JJ2
CSC: JJ2
It has built-in swype, version 2.5.45.11222
I have titanium Backup pro and also I have rooted my tab
1.
Is there a way to:
- unistall malaysia, indonesia, vietnam, Korean languages?
2.
Is it possible to
- install italian language?
3.
Is it possible to upgrade to the latest version (with voice recognition and input), which is 2.30? How to do?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
I have to say that I browse the market, for swype, but found nothing which could help.
I also googled extensively here, on xda-developers, and on the web...
Any hints or suggestions are highly appreciated!
Saulo
You need to go to swyps site to download it but they say do not if your device has is installed ootb

Dear BrillDoctor
1. You mean www.swype.com, right? not www.swyps.com (this site is not existing)
2. I have checked: there is NO download area in www.swype.com...
Even if unistall (using Titanium Backup) my swype 2.5 version, I doubt I can download the proper version.
Any other hints?
Thanks a lot!
You will have to use the swype app that came with your tab.You will not be able do download it from the market, and even if you had a beta version ( like I do) you will not be able to install it because it will not support the screen resolution of the tab. I tried myself and had to reflash the FW in order to get Swype back ( I had deleted the OEM version with titanium backup.
You will need to flash your tab with a european Rom, my suggestion is to flash JJ4 and then JK5, but do your homework before flashing anything.
Thanks Pakalt
My concerns are:
1. The European swype will have many languages, including Italian, But then I would like to install CHINESE (which I do use daily)...so the problem will be:
- how to install new languages on EUROPEAN ROM?
2. can you please feedback whether the EUROPEAN ROM is 2.9 version? (with voice input)?
3. European ROM: can you post me a link to download with instructions?
my phone is rooted, so I guess I can do the upgrade>
4. Why you have unistalled with Titanium Backup? Why not use the "freeze application" function? So you could revert the stock built-in swype...right?
5. Will European ROMS be bootload LOCKED as it is rumored here in Asia?
Thanks for your useful insight!

Ciao Segnale

Oh Cool bro. Simply u need to have Root Explorer or I think Astro should do the job too, then all u have to do is copy the file /system/app/Swype.apk into another folder of ur Gtab, then mount the Gtab to ur computer and upload it somewhere... PM me the link in order to avoid any complaints
Grazie ...
Ciao
Btw just realized u have got a different problem than mine.. Anyways, I don't care about not having Italian language installed, as long there's english US or UK..
However, the latest euro firmwares for the GTAB has got boot loader locked, but rotohammer has done a great job by cleaning the bootloader, I dunno what exactly he did though, probs he reverted the new bootloader with the old one.
Although I am not sure if Asian firmwares has got the same locked bootloader, you should ask this on the development section .
Ciao segnale.
I will do as you ask. I have astro.
Please be aware that my swype does NOT include Italian language!
So you need to add Italian by yourself (and if you know how to do I will be very grateful.
Thanks

I have swype 2.10.52.13753 , and I can confirm that has the Italian AND the chinese language. NO Voice input.
You can refer to this thread for flashing your tab to JJ4>JK5 . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847273 JK5 is a good stable ROM , but if you want to get the latest ( with NO bootoader upgrade and trouble , refer to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
I do have the "tiny swype" when in landscape mode, but I frankly do not thing it's a problem, I believe that it's even better. The whole concept of swype is to swype across the keyboard, why would you want to swype a longer path when in landscape mode. Sure it's better to have a larger keyboard when you hit single buttons, but then you DO NOT need a swype keyboard for that.
P_
Ok I been able to mount the factoryfs.rfs image of the JMK5 fw and copird the swype.apk into my GTAB now running on JME, and once it was installed the swype keyboard started crashing until I shut it down, and once I turned it back on the old swype keyboard just installed was been replaced with the current new one of JME.
Help please
Hi Segnale
I sent you a PM, as per your instruction.
With swype 2.5
Please check.
Thanks

Dear Pakal.
Yes tiny swype (small-size) in landscape mode I also believe is much better than large size! Easier to swype.
I wish to have a try to your ROM which includes swype built-in 2.10 with Italian + US + Chinese Languages.
Can you please confirm:
1. swype is builtin in your ROM. Right? Or did you download later?
2. which one is exactly your ROM? And where to download it?
BTW If bootloader is frozen is NOT a big issue to me, since once I got swype (built-in) I will be quite satisfied.
Thanks a lot!

I have downloaded swype version 2.10.xxx
My phone is rooted, I have tried to upgrade from 2.5 to 2.10
Results: application did NOT install...
I have tried with
Root Explorer
Astro explorer
2. i also tried to:
"frozen" swype 2.5 (with Titanium Backup Pro) and then try to launch swype 2.10 as a new application, NOT upgrade.
What am I missing?
Thanks and waiting

If I flash my singapore-bought galaxy tab with an european version, will then, in future, KIES be able to connect to it?
2.
If yes, will then subsequent updates and upgrades be available on KIES? Which ones? The Europen upgrades? Or the singaporean ones?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo
I do not have the answer to yr question because I do not use kies. But the point is that you will be waaay more up-to-date reading this forum than waiting for kies to suggest you a firmware upgrade !!! This what this community is all about. Be sure that an 'official' update will be out way later than a 'leaked' version on this forum.

[Q] Wanna translate MiUI V 1.9.9 to better Swedish in the language pack.

Okay, well, I know it's a MiUI-ROM-thread already, but i can't acess it tho, so I do need to do this, since I can't write in the original thread, but well, I wonder, can someone post the XML-files for this so I can translate it into better Swedish, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257127 (The V 1.9.9 version)
Thanks in advance, since I can't duo to lack of knowledge, I turn the .APK into .ZIP, but then I can't navigate to the certain .XML-files.

[Q] Custom ROM from stock, just add language

Hi,
Can someone point me to procedure or guide how to take stock rom fromthe unit and just addnadditional interface language.
Thanx,
DiNo
Well, you are still looking?
Ok, I popped open a rom, and what I saw, was in the /system/usr/xt9/databases/ldb, were ldb files in multiple languages. (LanguageDataBase)
My guess, is that this is part of the multi-system language based on region.
So my guess, is that if you find a rom (any rom), that contains your regional language, you should be able to copy that Ldb file, into the custom rom zip, and let it re-compress the zip file, then try flashing it. This may give you the language support you are looking for.
It's a guess for me, but, it may work. Maybe something else is needed.
I have a feeling, finding a custom rom in Croatian, will be extremely difficult. So, sometimes, you have to do it yourself. Find your regional HC 3.2, and unzip it, and look inside.
Hi,
Thanks for reply.
I found out that motorola Xoom latest stock rom has Croatian language built in.
Would it work to copy ldb file from it or there will be issues since it is for another device ?
Thanks for tutoring but this are my first steps

DiNo

Usually, we don't copy files from a rom other than acer. Not without doing a recovery backup first.
It's possible you will be ok. I think at the most, it will force close, or reboot. Or, it may work. I would be interested to know.
Also, you may want to take a look around and see if there are other files that may be linked to language. I was just lucky finding what I found.
I guess it will all depend on if the zoom ldb uses the exact same format as the Acer roms. 50/50 chance.
Seems I have found additional info on changing to a different language. Hope you want to learn a little programming
