[Q] I lost my hebrew - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem, i don't know what happened, but suddenly the hebrew disapeared from my samsung keyboard. As usual, when I want to input hebrew text, i swype the space bar to switch to hebrew. And two days ago i had lost my hebrew keyboard and all was left was english(US) and french.
So I checked out the languages in the parameters. I still have the hebrew in the menu languages, as well as in the speech recognition from google, but it has disapeared from the input list of the samsung keyboard. actually I found it back in the trash of this list. So thinking I could restore it by downloading it again from the server if it was really deleted I emptied the trash, sadly nothing happened, no new language to download when updating from the server.
Has anyone got a clue ?
I guess hebrew is flagged as deleted somewhere in the parameter files, so it is no longer proposed to download.
Btw, my phone is a Galaxy S4, of course, GT-I9505 JDQ39.I9505XXUBMEA Android 4.2.2 rooted.
Thnks in advance to anyone who might help.

Hi again
So it doesn't ring any bell to any one ?
I can't believe it...

You might get help in the i9505 section of the forum instead of the i337 section for AT&T version of S4.

Ok so I did open a thread there.... but no one seem to have any idea how this stuff works, and that's quite amazing.... there must be another way than a hard reset, don't you think ?

Download an other keyboard and check maybe there you can change the language.

Thank you, anyway....at least YOU tried.
and it seems you're the only one who dares (or cares)...

Ok
All what I can think about is the hard way
Download and flash your rom again, but remember back up your files & media.

Hi, Why not, I just need the samsung keyboard with hebrew on, you know where to find a ROM where I'm gonna find it ?
Cause sincerely I didn't find the files i'm supposed to ZIP and reinstall to save and backup the app as explained on this forum...

go to this site and download the latest rom
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
just search for your device model

For the record

So thank's to Samsung hotline, I wasted 2 hours resetting the phone, and reinstalling the whole stuff....
So I lost my SMS (OK I AM STUPID i forgot to backup), i had to reconfigure everything, but still no hebrew keyboard....)
Samsung Hotline is useless....
we'll see with a new ROM, bsd.

Ok when you have the samsung keyboard open, press the gear icon button thingy.
That will bring you to settings > samsung keyboard settings.
Scroll all the way down to "Reset settings" and press that.
Then scroll back up to the select input languages, press that and it'll have a popup and that'll ask you if you want to download new langs now, do that.
Scroll down and you'll see one like עִבְרִית, select that and it'll download that and then you can select the downloaded langs on the top of that screen.
And then it'll work when you swipe the space bar.
My region is ttt, I'm not sure what your phone's is.
You phone's rom region may not have that selection anymore ^^, just something to keep in mind.
If this doesn't work after a fresh rom install or something then I would go find a diff region to flash.
I'm not even sure how to change the csc anymore though on 4.4.2, my script doesn't work anymore for that and most of the phone codes don't work either so I can't check it.
I kinda suspect the nb3 rom, ttt region isn't actually ttt but whatever lol.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter though.
The link one-option posted above is where I get my roms from and so does most everyone else that does manual updates.
What does עִבְרִית mean anyways?
Curious.

[REQ] Help with creating a cab file for the new Swype IME Keyboard[Canceled]

Canceled please do not post anymore links in this thread.
I think this is a newer version than the one that came from the Omnia.
Removed LINK
Thanks to those who helped.
I tried creating one with path to Windows\Swype and it did not work either.
Oh please, help him !
yes, because it must be possible...Duty and other are already using the keyboard in their ROMs

It work cooked in with no problem. I just want to install this new version which seems to really work good on our Leo by cab. If it works then I will try to remove the Tutorial WMV file included which is 9mb.
This cab is from the Blackbird : "http://rapidshare.com/files/349533472/Swype-HTCBlackBird-3.9.10.10.5032.zip" i'ts almost the same as yours.
that would be great to install it just by a cab

Thanks I will have a look at it.
Ok it looks like the main difference is the use of the setup.dll and the path of the swype.dll is windows. I'm going to give it a try and if all is working I will post my cab here.
what problem are you having with it?
I have not had much luck as of yet.

Just would not open when you select it from the menu. It looks from this other cab the dll is placed in windows. I'm going to try this.
Ok I have got it working now. The dll file has to be in Windows directory to work. I'm uploading my complete Full version extracted from the 2.07 ROM now and will post it on the first post. I will also make a version without all the the tutorials to save space and upload it too. But the tutorials are good in the beginning to learn how to swype.
hm there is no other language available if you look into the options
there is also a message that it is not made working on my device (hd2) and will only works with limited functionality (that means it is not possible) to write words

I think it is this way when built in the ROM. I read somewhere that swype was going to add some support for other languages so it might not be implemented yet.
EDIT: The languages are working. just go into the input options for swype or press and hold the top left button to bring up a language menu. The actual keyboard layout doesn't change but the recognition does. Try it.

but there are already ROMs from Duty and others which have other languages and dictionaries available...
if I'm downloading this ROM you'll be able to extract it from there?
The cab doesn't work mate
It installs fine but i can't type anything

I think this is normal, bcz the swype function was not working in the 2.07 stock rom too

Aurora ICS keyboard languages, spelling and prediction.

It looks like the keyboard doesn't have a dictionary yet, and there are only a few languages on the spellind menu, and they don't appear to be working.
Is it just me or this is normal and dictionaries are missing?
The words that come up are very few and very different from this video here, for example: youtube watch?v=48RRFvWpsss (cant post links yet LOL)
Is there a way I can install dictionaries or should I just use another keyboard?
still there is no dictionary able in code when every dzo get the code he must put in rom
we need to wait
thanks for dzo great work
Try Smart Keyboard )
it's awesome and better

It works, just replace the files in system/app (I did it even before installing the ROM, in the zip file). Note, thought, it doesn't have some languages, like portuguese...

[Q] Android 4.2.2 stock keyboard dictionary problem

Hi guys,
I have the same issue on every 4.2.2 ROM I tried. I'd like to check out the new swiping JB keyboard, but I can't get the Polish optional dictionary to work. Have you tried any downloadable language and succeeded? It says it's downloaded, but when typing the dictionary is empty (only contact names) and swiping doesn't work.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions - thanks in advance.

I use SwiftKey but this should work for you as well. Go to System / Settings / Language & Input and find the keyboard you are using (may have scroll to see it) To the tight of the name tap the icon for preferences. Sample in the keyboard's preferences you should be able to find languages. Change it.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
Yes, I did it. Changing it doesn't make it work in writing. Only contact names still- that's the problem.

You're not alone! It is a real bug affecting lots! For me the issue is that all the APKs I find are all like this! I'm writing a more informative text which I will finish and post tomorrow hopefully. In the meantime, could someone extract a version of android keyboard where it's working and post it?

[Q] My language disappeared from the settings

A firend of mine gave her child to play with her Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 and he changed the device language from Hebrew to English.
Now she can't change it back because Hebrew doesn't appear to be in the "Language and input" menu any more.
Can someone please tell me how can I add Hebrew back to her phone ?

Are you sure it's gone? Languages aren't temporary and are meant to stick no matter what. Try scrolling to the very bottom to see if Hebrew is not written as Hebrew, but as hebrew text.
I'm sure

I checked and double checked, the language is gone.
More than that, even on my phone I still use Hebrew and if I go into settings I don't see it there.

Very strange. Did your phone come preloaded with hebrew activated? If so, a factory reset MAY help.

It could be carrier based. Try taking it back to the store and asking why hebrew is missing. They will then help you for sure.

My way around is with Swype & Dragon. I use English French and Spanish including mixed language paragraphs.
None of my messages to Google and combo have ever been answered and others who have this problem don't know how to report it...
