localizing your KF - Kindle Fire General

this my first thread in which i want to describe and share the results of changing the region and the language.
many thanks to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374346&highlight=change+language (read this first !)
i did this for german - should word for any other language and region (not tested)
ok, here is what i did:
- rooted device
- changed following entries in build.prop:
ro.product.locale.language=de
ro.product.locale.region=DE
ro.com.android.dateformat=dd.MM.yyyy (just to be sure)
- rebooted device
and here are the results:
- lockscreen in german (day and time format)

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- nearly all settings in german (i assume the ones which are still in english amazon had its hands on)
- german keyboard layout (i switched it back to the english one because of missing keys, esspacially in opera browser - there is the last line missing) see link above
- all self installed apps switched to german (file manager, opera, ...)
- after clearing the cache and data from andriod-market and clearing the data from googleservicesframework - then reboot - i'm on the german android-market
- amazon services switched to the german ones if they exist, in detail:
books -> german kindle store via browser
music -> german mp3 store
video -> stays on the american store (no german one)
apps -> stays on the american store (no german one)
- can not use the american video- and app-store - can browse it but not buy or download somthing (also free video or apps) as it was before. this is because of my german amazon-acount. you can transfer your account to amazon.com (i did not) but i think then we will get the well known 'not in your region' message.
hope to help some KF-users in non-us regions.
please share your experiences ...

using kindle fire in germany
I got my kindle fire yesterday.
Its rooted now, but i sort of semi-bricked it by installing an ice cream launcher and making it the default launcher, which looped me into error messages, but i think this will be fixed easily.
Before i was doing that i tested the kindle, updated it and i am using my friends (from us) amazon account (in germany) with free applications, free books.
This worked fine.
But downloading Videos or Streaming Vidoes with premium membership doesnt work at all.
I was only able to watch trailers.
I gonna try "unbrick" my broken launcher this evening and hopefully this will work, then i will continue share my experiences.
So my next question will be, which Launcher i should install instead of the 4.0, which failed so utterly ? Which one works right ?

use go launcher - works perfect !

enjoy buddies
actually the rom is really smooth and got all other options included in CyanogenMOD
roms...and have the latest gaps...gps working fine,wifi is faster,no call delay problem all fixed....and using now 136 applications still have 41 mb space left... its rocking...there is theme chooser....latest music player is added.... and you can filter the folders on music player,lastest flashplayer 10.2 and market is added...try guys.....it will make you feel good with using your desire
Might give it a run and see how it goes....if it ever downloads.
Seems to be hosted on the world's slowest server - 6-8 kB/sec.
Wrong section
It's for themes, so why u also post that ROM here
nice smooth ROM - only problem is that the hiapk settings app is in Chinese, so a lot of the customisation is unavailable to English speaking types like me.
same with the hiapk market - might be great, but I can't understand the writing.
everything else works fine under English language settings.
the hiapk dialer looks really good, and people who miss the Sense dialer should look at ripping it out of this ROM and installing it in whatever they are using now.
maybe a mod can move this into the development section where it belongs?
Wrong section.you must put in dev section.
Just downloaded and will test it today

CyanogenMod-7 for Desire HD question

i am about to move from recolution hd to cm7, got 2 questions tho and i cannot post in the dev forums yet.
1. what is that extra google app that comes (optional) with it? where can i read about it
2. i couldn't understand which radio is recommended with that rom? currently i am with: Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2
thank you
According to the first post of the dev thread, 26.04.02.17 is highly recommended. This radio can be found in the radio thread.
In answer to question 1, I believe that refers to a function that is activated the first time you access the market. It gives you the option to install google apps which aren't included within the rom.

1) Google asked the CM team not to include Google Apps in the rom. So that `Google App' you mention is a shortcut for getting Google Apps onto your device depending on which rom you have.
Here are the basic steps for getting the Google Apps on your device after you've installed your main rom (CM7).
Step 1 - Rom Manager (included in CM7 and most roms) - Download Rom

}
Step 2 - (Scroll up) Google Apps
Step 3 - Choose the latest recommended Google Package for your rom
Step 4 - You don't need to wipe to install the Google Apps. You shouldn't need to backup your rom - unless you haven't already done so. Click OK.
After the phone finishes rebooting etc. You will see that the Android Market is installed on your device. Also, when you login to Google - the device will ask you if you want to choose Google Apps from a list to download from the Market. You can then choose items and they will download. If they don't (for example YouTube), just get it from the Market as usual.
2) You only need to change radio if you have issues and think you can improve things. You might not need to change.

-RESERVED! -
Here will be released the upcoming "Serenity-ROM", the counterpart to the "firefly"-ROM by me...
Currently the planning period for this ROM is in progress...
I think, it will become a "Low-Ressource" firmware, that will be quie fast...
But you can post any suggestions for this firmware here...
Can you Try following things in your new rom(for 8530) :
1. Please try to make rom fast so that we can play heavy games without lag and unlocking of phone without lag .
2. If possible,try to fix or remove memory leakage issue:silly:
3. if possible,add some kind of sound effect like vodoo or extreme grove in ROM
4. Make hidden bada storage visible via USB.
5. If possible,make GPS fix fast.:silly:
few more things still to come...
Thanks...
Regards,
WaveGuru
1. If it is possible to reduce the lag ... for example when I play Asphalt 6 all widgets are closed.
2. If it is possible to add a Facebook app that lets you know in real time when you receive a message, a LIKE or someone has written on the wall ... etc ... just like on Android.
3. If it is possible to add a GPS application that works and that you know when to turn right or left and when to go ahead ... I hope I did understand, because the already preinstalled, Samsung LBS, must be activated, to look your way from one point to another and to guide you on that road.
Waiting for your rom :good:
1. I think, nearly all widgets will be removed...
2. I'll only work with Java version of FB...
3. It is not planned to include navigation in this rom...
You have it in the "firefly" ROM with Route66... But, you need a license...
First impressions...
Welll....
Work is going on...
THX in advance to hero355, who gave me permission to use his Turko-CFW V8 as donor-FW...
But, this ROM will NOT become a copy of this one...
It'll only include some features, that you can also find in hero355's CFW ...
Stay curious...!
Taxidriver05...do you have a ETA for this ROM? I'm waiting for it like a baby waits for his chocolate
Currently NOT...
Need a little bit time for creating the ROM...
Currently less time for doing some firmware projects...

YunOS [ROM][N7100][4.4]

[your warranty is now void]
Hello,
I am not using this forum active but i have run across with this chinese alternative rom which alibaba group make to compete with ios and miui i guess.
Rom 4.4 based (possible aosp based they build their framework on it)
using it for one week, you can remove any app from alibaba (include appmarket but doesnt try service.apk's ) its a good thing i guess.
I am not the developer of the rom, just sharing to get our rom databes and gettin attention to people who wants to try new roms.
has english and chinese language default. but you can activate other languages from morelocale and install fonts with other programs like ifont.
installed opengapps 4.4 pico works great
has own camera ui and i like it
got no bug or problem except opera cant work.
dont forget adding whatsapp etc apps to auto start(or you can lock them on the ram like miui)
750 mb ram using while whatsapp wps mail hello sms and timely locked to ram
400 mb ram using after start.
all apps using their own notification panel as you can swipe up icon to see its notification. they also seen on notification panel as you want.
has free themes and fonts like miui
very flow and has speed,battery friendly. has backup feature to sms' to applications.
has its own security panel to prevent trojans and password protect( when keyboard is active disable the connections immediatly while password screens)
installation instructions
latest twrp recommended
install rom
install gapps
start rom
open playstore and insert google account info
restart and flash supersu.(kingoroot also fine)
I share it because there are more versions for other models but our beloved note 2 stuck at 4.4

nope as I said mostly aosp based. so you can use s-pen via s-pen add on. or apps like fooview
have you test the flyme os for n7100?
