Adding locales/languages in custom build?

Hi all,
Is there any possibility to add locales and languages in custom build ROM's? I know Haykuro and TheDude include additional locales, but JF isn't. How can I add them myself, is there any way?

got_Thai?
I'm interested in this as well. I believe it can be done without having to cook a new rom though. My interest lies in the Thai language and I found the following sites describing (I think?) how this can be done:
http://www.droidsans.com/content/hack-thai-display-t-mobile-g1-practical
http://g1daily.blogspot.com/2008/11/g1-install-thai-font-on-t-mobile-g1.html
I tried using google translate but the results didnt' help me much. From what I could make sense of, the how-to instructions are in the first link, and the file needed (maybe the fonts?) is in the second.
Anyways, if this helps at all let me know.

hehe i found this thread when I search on google how to add french language to my G1...
The emulator support french (and many others languages). I'm sure we can extract locales on the emulator and put them on the phone.. but no idea how to do that

I'm really interested in this too

VillainROM 5.2 Kitchen now available!

so here we go, i proudly present: the VillainROM Kitchen!
i wrote this up completely from scratch, so please be gentle when it isn't perfect at the beginning :roll:
also we were not able to test every rom combination, as there are millions of different roms possible...
please note the faq link on the lower right side. if any questions arise pleask them here, i will update the faq from time to time.
final note: i'd like to emphasize that i created this kitchen myself, and it was a buttload of work. however i did NOT create the rom or any of the apps or modifications that come with it (with the exception of minor fixes or changes). nathan is and will be the rom developer/maintainer, and there are other parts created by other people, for example the themes. i don't want to start a long list of thanks and credits, and i take care not to include warez. there are several other reasons why something should or should not be included in the kitchen, so if you feel that your app is used here without permission or credit please contact me. also let me know if you'd like to contribute, be it in form of a simple bootscreen or a great app...
you find the kitchen at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/kitchen/ or in the rom section of the villainrom board.
now have fun with the kitchen!

Hi for all noobs/about to donate folk can you let us know exactly what a kitchen is please.

you can select options you want to include, for example apps or themes. then our kitchen will create the rom for you, you download and flash it. no need to figure out what adb is and how to remove or add stuff to the rom. check the link, it should be self explanatory!
also you can create a keyboard layout config file if you are using villain5.2 or other roms with the hacked keyboard from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
the keyboard layout feature is free to all members of villainrom.co.uk btw.

Thanks, trying. I will report feedback later.
Edit: So far so good. Wi-fi works flawlesly, google apps work, no force close issue, thanks for all devs.

SO as the title (post Stockwell) can you update another devs release @ the 1st post as well (ofcourse we - users will collect their info and report status...) it'll be great help for devs (united soon in the future) and users as well... as we all know xdaers always wanna be testing their phone with any kind of new stuffs hehehe.
P/S: testing your rom now... feed back soon.

You say you want the devs to work together, then you release your own port?

My report:
- Everything is OK (must re sign-in google acc for the 1st but nothing loss, thanks god hehehe), Wifi working great for 30' up to now (will try to test more, make the phone sleep for a while and retest wifi auto reconnect status...)
- Wifi hotspot WORK!
- Lacking Radio FM (comapre with miuiandroid port by Mr. flibblesan)
- Both miuiandroid 1.11.11 and this miui.us 1.11.18 have the same youtube bug (only gone bad when watching youtube using web browser (i'm using Dolphin hd browswe) the color gone bad and big green line appear on the TOP of the video... using youtube 2.3.4 app everything is OK)
That's all for now.
Thanks all devs.

Since there is a lot of confusion with the various miui ports that are around nowadays after stockwell has gone i'm opening this topic

Please try and report if the wifi error persist!

Sounds good. Maybe you should do a github where all of you send fixes? then one of you applies them rom when he builds it.

This release didn`t ask me to re sign-in google account, and I didin`t have any issue watching Youtube videos via stock web browser.

It asks for re-sign if you come from other miui. MIUIAndroid -> MIUI.us needs sign in but MIUIAndroid -> MIUIAndroid doesn't.

Working FM radio ? at u8800? or u mean internet radio ?

@ret4rt correction i have the phone -.-' so stop lying , and i've tried on stockwell thread gather a team to work and people dont say nothing.Besides i laugh when i see stuff like this , a guy telling that want work with other dev's and release one personal port .

I'm not against new MIUI ports... The best will survive... It is totally normal!
I'm going to test your ROM since the other releases didn't worked for me as stockwell's did...

@Darksage07 correction are you this guy http://www.forum.miui-pt.com/index....jffs71u3ids61s4heg4&topic=522.msg3871#msg3871 ?
Cause i'm referring to him not to you, "so stop lying".
Secondly as you see i'm posting here the latest miui.us release port that wasn't posted anywhere else in this forum AND that is the closest to where stockwell left it.
Third you are part right cause i've told you through pm that we can collaborate to this but to my bad i thought you were greek so those final words on my pm that you prolly didn't understand meant to be "We can work on this together".
Reason why i opened this thread is having all the current roms in one place so people can test them and report if they work or no.
If the chinese version works ok let's go on with the chinese see what that guy has come up to fix the errors and implement it to work with miui.us.
If darksage07 works let's keep this, if mine works the same.
Anyway in all means i'm trying to help and to also learn if you think that's unnecessary i sure can quit.
Concerning the rom now.. what i've done is adding the system\etc\firmware\wlan\qcom_cfg.ini from 1.11.04 version instead of the one that is on the overlay with the hope it fixes the wifi error ppl have.
The rest are the regular rm/cp from desire z.

@ret4rt i'm not none of those guys of that thread at miui-pt , so i see that you have misunderstood something.And if you want i can send you my profile link of miui-pt.
About the rest , when i read your pm i didn't see nothing about co-work.but if you want we work as a team .Btw if you check my last rom i've added the last FFranco kernel release and people say that's working fine, and wi-fi is better , but i will try your fix to wi-fi too , now i'm curious about that.
P.S.:I don't want flame wars we all working for the same.I become upset and you say that i don't own a U8800 when i own.

Congratulations! All working great in here, except DND but it wasn't working in other releases.

Could you upload it to Rom manager server so it would be visible from ROM Manager under MIUI.us?

[MUST READ]Roms u8800

Devs of MIUI to u8800 who wants create a team or help with the translation to MIUI u8800 ROM ?
I'm tired of see several threads showing the same .Lets all work for the same objective.

I can do turkish translation.
And i just want to clearify something. Making port with using stockwell release doesn't make any progress on our statement. Even i can do that for myself. Point is developing something, fix issues and optimize performance&stability.

@Özgürce thats one of my objective .I dont want only use stockwell script to compile thats to easy , i want fix bugs , create a greater port , include some kernels etc.

Well, as ret4rt's one is the only one that seems to work properly then why don't you all contribute to that one? The post stockwell thread is a perfect place as it's then obvious that this is the place to go for continued development.
We just need a single point to go to for all things Miui, not multiple conflicting ROMs

I think I could do finnish translation.
@langers1972
I think they are both working throught PMs and that thread. Atleast ret4rd shared his WiFi fix there.

[Q] How to develop ROM?

Hi,
I want to know how can I make my own ROM using paul's ICS sources or build it from the CM9 sources, which software I need to use and is this tut good for beginning?
www(.)theunlockr(.)com/2010/03/26/how-to-create-your-own-custom-rom-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/?
PS: I also want to add the reason why I don't contact with paul is that I wanted to learn & develop it only for me & mine friends
Ofc. for X8 and on nAa kernel ;3

do you know JAVA atleast?
EDIT: wait, you want only to make the build, or to work on the rom and on the source?
EDIT2: Wrong section btw, you should asked on Q&A's

Java on basic level, I do not know any of it's APIs but I can learn them ( I don't know Android API too )
C/C++ on intermediate level
First build it from source, after successful modify source and compile ROM.
MOD: Please move to Q&A if possible, thanks.

You could read my thread (look at my signature). I wrote all the stuff you need to know of ROM-compiling. There's also a thread about kernel making.

Dzięki
Thanks at all, you got the point. I'll try to compile it using yours tut and post result here And one more thing, developing CM9 for X8 build for which phone i need to base on? And where I can get hmmm... X8 Driver sources? Adreno libs and others?

Right now we don't have sources for X8. You need to port most of libs. You could also paul-xxx's drivers from his github. Good luck If you have some questions PM me, I'll help if I'll be able to.

doixanh based his GingerDX ROM - based on Gingerbread - on the Hero source tree. If I recall correctly I read somewhere that a CM9 port to the HTC Hero exists; that might be your best shot as the phone is about the same specs as the X8.
And as eagleeyetom wrote: You either use paul-xxx's drivers or you reverse engineer the Eclair drivers and write them anew from scratch (if your thought was going into the direction of the kernel) - there's no CM9 port for the X8. Your best option would be to try and find devices having a matching hardware component and porting the drivers from there - but chances are pretty slim that other phones use the same hardware SEMC stuffed into the X8.
---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------
Update: paul-xxx also maintains a GIT repo with a msm7227 kernel ...
paul-xxx / semc-kernel-msm7227-ics
EDIT: Along with some other interesting repos ...
- android_hardware_qcom_camera
- Xperia-TI-Wlan
- android_device_semc_msm7x27-common
These three at least seem to relate to the X8 "Shakira"

Thanks all for help, now I have some basic workaround with this
And one off topic question
ICS is running on 3.0.3 kernel, yes? So why we don't try to port it for X8 and using old 2.6.xx?

It seems the genuine Google AOSP ICS is running Linux 3.0.8
Porting the Kernel might turn into a huge effort. The ABI of 2.6.29 and 3.0 are not really compatible, so the kernel drivers would need to be ported to the CM9 3.0.x series - in case a simple patching them into the kernel tree and trying to compile bombs out with tons of make errors.
Apart from that - the main problem with ICS on the X8 is that a whole lot of devices can't use a custom kernel as a change in the hardware (devices of 11W29 and newer) prevents boot loader unlock.
We could try to see if the CM9 kernel could be slapped into shape ... I got a Quad-Core Phenom II to tackle that task - if someone wants to help out in the research if some msm7227 / Shakira specific parts would need to be patched into the source tree because they aren't part of it.
EDIT: Even the official CM repo uses Linux 2.6.37.6 as their kernel, and the progress on the FXP Kernel seems to have come to a halt; at least I can't see any new stuff in the -shakira repos.

LG GT-540 has ICS on 2.6.35 kernel. Maybe we could try to port Arc's kernel. Maybe this one? Recommend me some C/C++ books to learn basic stuff

You want this book's in english or you prefer in our native? ;3

This is a rather tricky question ...
If you do as I did simply Google up a C/C++ Reference/Tutorial (i.e. http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/webmonkeys/book/c_guide/ or http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/) and get going ... you already got gedit to code up .c files, and gcc is also part of your Linux distro to try and compile your "hello_world.c" You could also Google for Online Classes (in the like of http://www2.its.strath.ac.uk/courses/c/) and pick whatever suits you.
However, if you want to read real books ... look through the offers of Addison Wesley and pick what you think is the best book for you. You could also hit up your closest public library and see what they have in store (may be cheaper than buying in case you don't have much money to spend) - or, in case you study, you may want to look into your University's library.
Of course you could also start off with the usual "C/C++ for Dummies" or "Teach yourself <whatever> in 7|14|21|30 days"

Polish would be awesome ;P

Best, simply writed polish C/C++ tutorial, one of the best www(.)warsztat(.)gd/tutorials.php?x=category&id=18
In adddition you can search for ( it's a big ebook ) Symfonia C++ Grębosza ( Symphony in C++ ), you can find it on chomikuj.pl but if U want I can upload it somewhere for you
And if you will have any problems with C/C++ you can write to my GG number 10037533 or PM me here
