Going Russian - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i have my nexus 7 and it runs fine... got a rom on it.. no problems at all..
but i just bought a second one that i plan on giving to family in russia when i go visit them next week...
being a US user, i have never had any issues using the device but i am wondering how i can make it fully compatible for use in Russia...
the obvious answer is to choose russian as the language during setup but thats not enough... half the things are still written in english and all music shown is american...
what can i do to make it better capable for use in russia?
thanks

HTC aria 2.2.2 update review

So I decided I'd give the new official update for the HTC aria a shot despite all the talk about not being able to root it yet. So far some pretty important things I've noticed is the fact that there is no sideloading. I saw someone on here say that it would be able to sideload - incorrect. The second big thing is the fact that it does not have the touchpad button wake. You have to use the power button which is a huge flaw for me. Someone also said that it would be capable of overclocking- as far as I know right now I don't think you can, but I can't be 100% sure yet because of the lack of sideloading and the 4.99 for setcpu. Some of the cool new features I do like is the mobile hotspot capabilities, live wallpapers, and the market update. So now I want to see what others have to say about it. Please come tell me what you've found!

Did it work?
I want to understand ..
The updates are made automatically?
If I purchased from ebay the device in 3 / 3 and it had not arrived yet, am I expected to see within 2.2 and unable to root?

Did you purchase a used phone? Was it already rooted? Did the seller install the latest update from HTC/AT&T?
The 2.2 update from at&t is not an Over-the-air (OTA) update. It's offered by at&t via the HTC web site. The update, therefore, takes work on the user's part. It's not automatic.
That said, if you purchase a phone from eBay that is factory fresh from at&t, it's possible it already has the 2.2 update - I put the odds at 50%.
For what it's worth, the only thing wrong with the stock build of this device's ROM is the at&t bloatware/crapware. Other than that, it's a solid device, and there are ways to customize the phone to your liking.

don't worry about side-loading.
Use the stock HTC sync software that came with your Aria - when prompted to update, don't do it!

If it is what it looks like, (US version/AT&T branded) then you should be able to root no problem with unrevoked

I'm not sure about enabling RTL support, but I think people have been talking about it on these forums.
At first my phone felt quick when it was processing, but initial response to screen presses felt slightly laggy. I was concerned. But after running it for a few weeks now, without a task killer, it feels like quite a quick more featured phone. Seems like there was a calibration and optimization duration there. Maybe it's in my head? Very happy with the upgrade, especially for apps to SD!
Oh, and add gingerbread keyboard from the market and the phone is twice as good!

You can do side loading by using android injector. You can find it at at harmonyhollow or softpedia. Just type in Android Injector at google. It also allows you to install multiple apps at the same time.

How do you get Apps to SD to work on this rom?
In the past I was using Darktremor's a2sd preinstalled on the Liberated Aria roms.
I am now on the Liberated version of the rom (thanks to Gene Poole - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272), but I don't know how to do apps2sd here. I have my sdcard partitioned with ext3 (512 Mb), but it's not getting used automatically.

I would like to transplant the Samsung(presumably HC from the g-tab) Rom to the Xoom.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
That's the closest I can come to making sense of it.

To which the only logical response is:
“You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like.

Samsung ROM advantages:
1, the video is hard to make me the most satisfactory solution
2, select the wallpaper is the most humane
3, the notification bar with brightness adjustment, and WIFI, notice, GPS, voice, auto rotation, bluetooth, Flight Mode switch
4, UI looks better

Yes it can be done but no one here will do it. You understand me?
Xoom is Android 3.2. Samsung is 3.1. People here do not want to walk backwards.
When Samsung changes to 3.2 then yes it can be transplanted.
What language you speak? Maybe Asian? Me Asian too.
Pity. Motorola can not make such a nice UI user
Sincerely hope that Motorola can produce the perfect andriod 3.x ROM

I am glad to see a “Touchwiz UX for XOOM - Alpha Stage”
As follows:
Hi for all.
Its my port of Touchwiz UX for XOOM in early alpha stage.
Pay attention!
This is not final version, errors and bugs may occurs.
In this first step i make a package of launcher only, apparently fully functional. To test this, u need root and push twlauncher.apk to /SYSTEM/APP. If u dnt like and like to revert, simply remove then and older launcher will be reverted back.
Like my work? Pay me a beer.
new alpha or beta releases will be posted in this thread...

Our device is a Google device you can add all that garbage if you want then what weeks or months for updates from Motorola. We get our updates pretty much directly from Google, they stop be Verizon first. You will notice the Google logo on the back. I'm pretty sure this is not the case with the device you guys are talking about. So your saying you don't like Google Android... (honeycomb) interface? Hopefully it will be improved when we get ICS.

Off my boss at work! - I guess it has the US ICS on it... but its really nice.
Any problems...
Are there any downsides to using a US rom?
For example:
Keyboard Layouts
Access to Apps from the Play Store
Access to other content from the Play Store
Other regonalization issues
On the flip sides, apart from the benefits of ICS itself, what would I gain from switching to a US rom as a UK user?
That's a pretty generic question, sorry, but I'd love ICS and would wait, but if there's no downsides I'll get it now.
Thanks

Made the same switch myself and glad i did
keyboard layouts - pretty much the same apart from the £ and $
Play Store - Not had any issues myself and the prices comes up in £
being on a US rom means your going to get ota updates quicker than the uk
I briefly installed the US ROM, but quickly changed to team EOS due to the US locale annoying me!
- US Keyboard Layout
- US date format
- US English spelling (Damn annoying with autocorrect!)
I also need to occasionally write in German, so the lack of other languages (except Spanish IIRC) was also a problem for me!
I have been running the US ROM since HC 3.1 - not had any issues really
I thought the UK language keyboard stuff was in ICS now? if not then I havent noticed an issue at all - market is still all english anyway - it doesn't go on ROM region for the apps
So at the risk of being stupid...
So at the risk of being stupid... I'm guessing it's possible to switch back should I hit any locale issues?
The way I read it if I flash to a US Rom, I should be able to flash to the UK variant when it is released (should I decide to bother).
Assuming I do go ahead:
1. If I stay on the US Rom will OTA updates work?
2. Similarly, if I can then switch to UK ICS, should OTA updates continue to work for this too?
Apologies for the newbie posts, I have been reading the boards for a long time, but what I've remembered in my addled brain has left me somewhat confused.
TIA.

AndroidRevolution HD for note 2 1.1 DL

if anybody has a copy of the old AndroidRevolution HD 1.1 for Samsung Galaxy note 2 , i would really appericate it. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ver 3.0 to work, but with no success. I assumed it would be as easy as 1.1 , but i was wong. One of my mistake was not making a backup after the 1.1 installation. So i'm stuck with an old image that atleast has CWM. So if anybody has this.. Thank you in advance!
thats what my repository is for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926506
hope it helps bro
This is great,thank you! but the links for the 1.0,1.1, and 2.0 are dead. I really appreciate the effort though. Hoping someone out there has 1.1
then mike must have taken them off...
I have 2.0 and I can Share it via dropbox, but would it help ya?

Revolution HD 19.0
Hi all,
First post ! I'm not totally new on this forum, I've been consulting them since my very first Android and Smart phone about 3 years ago when I bought the HTC Desire. I did create account back then in order to communicate with you guys, but I never got the privileges for posting so... I just kept reading.
New account made just now because I wanted to share my experience and maybe post a couple of questions (even tips, who knows) - and it does work now, which is nice ! So... Hello !!
I was an HTC protagonist and hated Samsung for their phones made of Taiwanese plastic and their Apple-like designs and commercial strategies... until my employer introduced a new Android application and provided us with new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices. Well - let's just say I was amazed on one hand by the speed and capabilities of my new device and disappointed on the other hand by my beloved HTC One X. It's just that - everything works better ! The only annoying bit was the keyboard, which is far less practical than the one on Sense... but that was easily set right with the installation of AI Keyboard and its Gingerbread theme.
So - my phone had just completed its very first charge after I unpacked it when I decided to root it immediately, install CMW6 recovery and flash it with Revolution HD 19.0 - which worked like a charm !
I'm very happy with this ROM ! My battery lasts clearly longer than that of my colleague's stock devices (about 48h with normal use - including a bit of gaming during number 2's, use of Wifi most of the time and Bluetooth in the car). The response is slightly faster too - for instance that app we use for work works just a little bit faster on mine. Same thing for Youtube, Facebook, Despicable Me (cool game :cyclops: ) and so on...
During the flashing it suggests the installation of some apps - well a few of them weren't installed after flashing although I did select them (I remember Maps was not installed for instance... unfortunately I don't remember what else I had to install manually). That means I'm not entirely sure all the tweaks suggested during the flashing were indeed enabled. I couldn't find any Revolution HD specific section in the settings (like you'd have on a Cyanogen ROM) - and couldn't find any app either to test and play with those tweaks. So can someone tell me if there's a way to find/modify those specific options/tweaks ?
What I also can tell is that one of my colleagues, who received the Note 2 the same day as I did, followed me with the rooting and flashing with his device... He seems to have been less lucky than me - he tells me every once in a while, when waking up the phone, he has no reaction when trying to unlock it (he just uses the screen swipe). He has to put it back to sleep and wake it up again before he can unlock it... Is this something that happens to anyone ?
So there you go - my experience is nearly flawless ! I love this ROM and will continue using it !
By the way : does anyone know how updates work with this ROM ? Do I have to backup my apps and data whenever a new Revolution HD ROM comes out for my phone and restore that backup after upgrade ? Or is there some kind of OTA-like update available ?

Well it was the first thread when searching for Revolution HD on this particular device - for one. And I wasn't allowed replying on the thread from the developer about Revolution HD 19.0.
Had I made a new thread about this, you'd have told me to look up other threads on the same topic before creating a new one...

Working on my Samsung Galaxy S III Mini (Maclaw´s CyanogenMod 10.1 20130801-2 (Jellybean 4.2.2)):
1. Download and install (Root needed) Spirit FM Free: http://d-h.st/vCj
2. Plug your headphones
3. Enter a knowing strong frequency
4. If you are in Europe (Spain, in my case): Settings->Band->World... (Anyone)
5. IMPORTANT!!!: Settings->Audio->Method->Galaxy S3/Note/S2_ICS (Only works with this one)
That´s all!!!

This should be automatic if ro.product.device starts with "GT-I819" (ie GT-I8190).
But I see the official name is "golden", so next release should set it automatically.
I've enabled "golden" on Google Play for anyone who wants the full Unlocked version of Spirit.
I can only support phones well when I see sufficient sales in the Google Play app stats.
CM ROMs may stock using the stock audio library at some point, as they have on other devices. When that happens FM audio will no longer work unless I devote time to it, and ideally buy a phone myself. But I can't/won't do that without sufficient sales, especially if I get bombarded with support requests and debug logs from pirates.

Spirit FM Unlocked still appears as "This app is incompatible with your device" on Google Play. I´ll pay for it when available.
The official name on Google Play is "Samsung GT-I8190"
Thank you, Mike!

After few Ctrl+F5 on Google Play Spirit FM Unlocked appears as "Compatible with your device".
Purchased and fully working!!!
PD: So far is the most expensive app I ever pay for. But, for me, it worth the money.
Thanks (One more time)
Come on, use the poll or post something else. I'm looking for official support by Mike for our device!!!

To gauge popularity among custom ROM users, I look at the total XDA post counts for a phone, relative to it's age and thus the phones position in the XDA forums homepage.
IE, please don't start any campaign to get a lot of people to bug/harass me about this.
Another factor is, "does this phone sell well in parts of the world where apps, and Spirit in particular, are purchased ?". Certain corners of the world have very high piracy rates.
Ok

I put a smilie on that sentence to indicate I'm not feeling harassed right now.
I'm fine with requests, and that's all they are right now.
Just don't want anyone to veer towards a "campaign" that might misrepresent phone popularity.

Maybe a "misrepresented" phone with a lot of enthusiasts of the first world could earn more money for you.
Working
Thank you very much, it's working! Now I can hear radio but without reducing high speed volume and money
thank you
can you post a new link
I've been searching the forums, think this is my best bet, although the thread is inactive for some time. Looking to get (real) FM radio working on my Galaxy S3 mini with CyanogenMod 11...
Is it possible? Am I at the right place, or is there some other solution?
If this can work, can someone update the first post or sth?

Why don't you just try it and let us know what happens ?
I tried it and it works ... though it's pain in the ass to search for stations manualy, etc.
And other things could be better, but if it's the only solution, hey... I'm OK with it.
Btw, you don't even have to change things in settings. It worked for me instantly, the moment I turned it on.
Maybe just change from 'North America' to 'World sth' (if you're not in NA), you can leave the other thing on 'automatic'.

OK.
Yeah, I guess the free version doesn't have seek to find the next station. That and a lot more are in the paid version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_unlock
I know. Shame really, bcs it's a basic thing you (almost) can't do without.
