as many of u know. touchwiz roms dont include spell checking
(the red line underneath miss spelled words like found on nokiia,blacknerry,iphone and cm based roms)
i think i came across a fix for this,
the files that has 2 be changed are the following 2.
Secsettings.apk & framework2.jar
--or you can backup your device and replace the 2 files with files attached in 2nd post
--or you can flash the zip file in 2nd post (please backup and confirm if it works on your device
as member iT iS Me states he did the following
iT iS Me said:
For me Spell Checking option is very important and I like using it in CM roms. However, our NOTE is more productive with Stock roms. I searched a lot to find a way to enable the option. Unfortunately, there was no 100% clear guidance but I could manage to get it. Thanks to everyone helped.
You need to decompile Secsettings.apk & framework2.jar.
In SecSettings, open the file "res\xml\language_settings.xml" and look for:
Code:
<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/phone_language" android:key="phone_language" android:fragment="com.android.settings.LocalePicker" />
add new line and paste the following:
Code:
<com.android.settings.inputmethod.SpellCheckersPreference android:title="@string/spellcheckers_settings_title" android:key="spellcheckers_settings" />
In framework2.jar, open the file "smali\android\widget\TextView.smali" and look for:
Code:
.method public isSuggestionsEnabled()Z
.locals 1
.prologue
.line 8464
[COLOR="Red"][B]const/4 v0, 0x0[/B][/COLOR]
return v0
.end method
Change the highlighted to:
Code:
.method public isSuggestionsEnabled()Z
.locals 1
.prologue
.line 8464
[COLOR="Red"][B] const/4 v0, 0x1[/B][/COLOR]
return v0
.end method
That is all and enjoy.
NOTE: It works with Google Keyboard or alternatives.

I tried this on my Galaxy Note 10.1 running stock UK ma5 ROM, it kind of worked in some apps, red underline appeared, but I lost access to my "settings" panel and it also installed something called mobihotspot(?) Which I was unable to remove.
when u say u lost access to settings panel, does it mean it force closes when u open it, or doesnt it appear anymore? ur gonna have to take ur original note10.1 files and edit them urself. not use the files i supplied here?
Any ideas if this solution works also on the Galaxy S 4?

I did not try the flashable file, but doing this manually worked on my VZW Galaxy S4 running JellyBeans build 6 (deodexed ROM).
*Edit*
This also adds spell checking to chrome's address bar, and presumably other text fields that do not normally have it. For me, that is only a minor annoyance and is greatly outweighed by the addition of spell check. Just an FYI.
dropbox link is not working
Dear many thanks for your important subject please please please provide me with zip file to flash it as i tried to do manually but it did't work

You need to do the mod for yourself. Every rom is different. You could also look for a rom that the developer included it in his rom.

The mod only works on deodexed roms. You have to copy the required files from that rom, decompile, edit then recompile. Then copy the files back over the originals.

i did some searching for you and found this. such code language is greek to me as im not too good with coding jargon. hope it helps you:
Q- I want to be able to change the background color to white in my android app in the simplest way possible
A- You need to use the android:background property , eg
android:background="@color/white"
Also you need to you need to add a value for white in the strings.xml
<color name="white">#FFFFFF</color>
A2- You can also use
android:background="#ffffff"
in your xml layout, or you can change the theme in your AndroidManifest.xml by adding
android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Light"
to your activity tag.
If you want to change the background dynamically, use
YourView.setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(255, 255, 255, 255))
hope this helps

on the one hand, I can't decompile the "conversation.apk" individually,

on the other hand, the "framework-res.apk"&"blur-res.apk" can be decompiled correctly, but I edit some xml about colors, and my device can't boot with the replacement.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=565
EDIT: after looking around a bit, most people on other forums recommend for you just to use handcent. apparently its the simplest fix without you having to tweak around much a lot. they just recommend for you to disable the stock message notification so that you wont get 2 notifications on your notification bar. perhaps you'd wanna give it another go? besides, apparently handcent supports upto 5mb of storage as opposed to the standard 2mb on the stock messaging app

This man said in his thread:

I am trying to decompile Conversations.APK from /system/app with APKTool
I am using framework-res.apk, blur-res.apk and moto-res.apk as the framework.
It was successfuly decompiled.
"

Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space.
Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk.
This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.

you might want to delete Email.apk and MobilePrint.apk first because these two were the ones that I deodexed ignoring the errors. (lotsa errors with Email.apk. be wary of that one )
most of the errors in these two files were related to some awt libraries that are missing. I think (or hope) that they used these libraries only for debugging, so it shouldn't crash theoretically.

Here's a quick trick :
Have 7zip on your pc.
Copy systemUi.apk to desktop.
Extract using 7zip.
U'll have the statusbar icons in res/drawable...
Find new png images(any other phone's systemui.apk)
Now open 7zip locate to that .apk and replace all those files with new one.
Replace systemui.apk back into system/app.
Restart the device n u r done.
If u want me to do it for u pm me i'll do it when m free.

I know that there are actually LOTS of "How to port ROMS" in this forum now.. but I would like to share a certain source I found that is actually fool proof
Here it goes!
find a ROM that is designed for the same CPU type and the same phone manufacturer. Any stock Gingerbread, ICS, or CyanogenMod 7/9 ROM should work, but you’ll have to make sure your phone can handle the ROM – no ICS for an HTC Hero, for example. Also, your Port ROM's original Phone should have the same RESOLUTION with that of your phone's.
You will need:
**Notepad++
**a compression program (WinZip or 7zip and etc)
**the ROM you want to port to your phone (let’s call it the "Port ROM")
**a ROM designed for your phone (let’s call it"Base ROM")

Click to collapse
This guide may mention some files or directories that aren’t present in your particular ROM; don’t worry, just carry on.
On your PC, extract the .ZIP files containing the two ROMs, and navigate to /system/app in your extracted Port ROM and copy stk.apk, vpnservices.apk, camera.apk, and bluetooth.apk into a temporary directory somewhere else on your PC.

Click to collapse
Now, delete the following folders from your Port ROM and replace them with the ones from your Base ROM: /data, /system/app, /system/framework, /system/fonts and /system/media.

From your Base ROM, copy /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so to the system/lib/ directory of your Port ROM, overwriting the file.

Next up, move the .APKs you copied earlier back into the /system/app directory of your Port ROM.

Open up /system/lib in your Port ROM and copy all the files and folders. Paste them into the Base’s /system/lib directory, replacing all. Then go back to the Port ROM and delete the /system/lib folder, and replace it with the /system/lib folder from the Base ROM.

Next, navigate to the /system/etc/init.d folder in the Port ROM and do the same copy-from-Port, paste-to-Base, delete-from-Port, copy-from-Base, paste-to-Port shuffle as before.

open system/build.prop from both the port and the base ROM in Notepad++. Update the Base build.prop to match the values for “ro.build.description=” and “ro.build.fingerprint=” from your Port. Now save the Base build.prop, exit Notepad++, and copy the Base build.prop into the Port ROM, overwriting the Port build.prop.

In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port’s script to be like the Base’s updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don’t change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the ‘format’ values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).

Finally, make sure that your kernel is specifically for your device.

Now, if you desire, you can update any apps you require, or add any tools like BusyBox or SuperSU.
And that’s it! Your base ROM is now ready to be zipped and installed on your device via Clockwork Mod!

go to build.prop in /system and edit rild.libpath=
rild.libargs=
to match your device and that should fix it

Hello I Wanted to port Cm7 On a New cpu named as - MediaTek 6573 ! it is an armv6 one ... any suggestions from where to start ....etc ?
I will definitely give this a try.
Great guide. Subscribed!!

Okay, question: what is the point of porting a ROM made for a device with the same CPU and same manufacturer?? there is VERY few phones that are made by the same company and the same cpu!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well that is to ensure "safety" when porting a ROM.. the guide i posted was a beginner's guide on how to port.. as you can see, almost 80% of the procedure is just basically copy&paste..
however, if you have a good background now in codes and porting things, i believe you may not follow step-by-step the procedures i stated above.

What about dual Sim ph?
Does anyone have any idea what would cause a "Modem Crashed Forced Upload Mode" on a port for SGS3?
I can't seem to pinpoint what causes that (I think it's a kernel panic but I could be wrong)
Looks like this would work on International Note 2 and Tmobile Note 2. They have the exact same hardware and everything. I was wondering about the last statement about kernel. Can't I just copy the boot.img from tmobile note 2 to international note 2 ? would that work ? I am not familiar with kernels and stuff. Need advice.
Thanks
Once a deodexed rom is released it will be easier to test the hotspot mod out. Because not having the phone would require someone else that can Odex the files and test. This would be a pain because you would have to do that for each test. For now I am curious about something though. Is there anyone out there with the S5 that is paying for the hotspot? If so can you configure it and connect to it at least once, if you haven't already, and send me your services.jar and services.odex? You will probably need to be rooted in order to get to the files. Don't worry there won't be any sensitive information in the files.
I tried the mod you posted, same as was done on Note 2. Not sure if it worked or not as the build had some data issues, so couldnt comnect to test. It compiled and booted fine with the line deletion at least. Was easy enough to find
Gettin frustrated with getting the deodexed working to move on. Have some issues ive never seen before. Just Play store, Hangouts and Google Calendar sync FC's. Think its a GmsCore issue

Crawj,
I used the same wifi tether app that works on Note 2 4.3 and did it without any special tricks.

Thanks for that! But you know how I am It is just my nature to use the native app. So if it can work that is best IMO. That way when I finally do get the 5 it is already waiting for me :victory:
OH and I don't believe I have talked to you since you became a moderator so congratulations on that. Well deserved!

Yeah I saw that. Thanks for sharing. I wanted this one to be specifically for getting the services files from someone that is paying for the service. So that is why I created a separate thread.

Thank you. Could you Odex your hotspot mod and try it with either your rom or stock to see if it works? If it works on Odex then you know it will work on deodexed once it is ready.
To get the native hotspot working, you need to:
update carriers set type="default,mms,dun" where apn="n.ispsn";
in the following file:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
This is what worked for me on Sprint North America. Just got it working today, was trying all the known tricks including rebuilding framework-res.apk with no luck. Be advised however I first used a sqlite app from the market and it added a space between mms and dun which did not work. I installed the sqlite3 binary and did that SQL command from adb shell. Can do more of a walk through if needed, let me know.
Edit: miked63017 beat me to it. Here's his flashable zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52089811&postcount=9

Isn't this the same thing that Mike provided? If so you should give him the credit. And his flashable zip is probably safer and cleaner than replacing the database file.

His zip is admittedly different than the zip I made, mine runs a sqlite command in place, while his copies a premade db into place. Either way, lets get some feedback on how this thing is working...

Yeah but it is using the mod that you discovered. So you should be credited. And my other point is that your zip only adds the portion of the mod that is required. His replaces the entire db file which could cause issues.

It's not a big problem. I knew your zip was different. My only point is that Mike published the method of unlocking the hotspot first. So he should have been credited for finding the fix. That's it. You could have kept your zip alive if you wanted to. Although I still believe his install is safer.

Because his zip only does a sql update for the specific change that is required. You're zip replaces the entire db file. Nothing may ever come of that. But if a user had a db file which had different contents than the one you provide they would lose those changes. There is also a very slight possibility that permissions on that file could get corrupted when replacing it. Highly unlikely though. I'd be more concerned about the first possibility.

Ah, that makes sense now. Thanks.
lil update crawrj, the method we used the Note 2 doesnt fly on here. just tested on new Deodexed build. says I'm not subscribed...
and what do you know. I'm not
Would be a good idea to decompile sectelephonyprovider and see if those values in the database file can't be forced as default for all additions that have that apn field
