FIRMWARE: Engl/Span/Portug/French fw incl. GUI/VR/keyb. + DST update

[mischka]

Thanks to luiz from Brazil who uploaded files from his spanish firmware! Now I could add spanish, portuguese and french languge to other firmware.

It works incl. spanish VR (I can't test VR that good because I don't speak spanish but if I press the button I hear a spanish voice). VR also works with portuguese and english (I don't use it anyway).

Works now like it should! Only one firmware for english, french, portuguese and spanish keyboard! Download links are updated

There is an additianal layout, accessable by taping the "äü" key, with special latin letters. This is because now keyboard is changed from "English-CN keyboard" to "English EMEA keyboard". This is a multilingual keyboard



NOTE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE A1200i MULTILINGUAL FIRMWARE PREINSTALLED:
DO NOT FLASH WITH THIS AS AN "UPDATE" YOUR PHONE WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS!! AND YOU CAN NOT GET BACK YOUR OLD FW WITHOUT CARRYING YOUR PHONE TO MOTOROLA SERVICE!!
Your fw is the newer one anyway, so this would not be an update really even if it worked.
edit: You can use the bint's 24xp version. But remember: you can not return to original fw after flashing!!


A1200R owners with FIRMWARE 25P of course are not able to use these 46p/08p/59p versions also! 24xp should work but try at your own risk! Remember 25p also is not available!


New files, both support english, french, portuguese and spanish keyboard (and GUI as older ones)
note: after changing keyboard in setup>inputmethods phone needs to be restarted to show new keyboard!

46p generic complete flashfile:
46p_gen_EMEA_L4_mis.rar



08p generic complete flashfile:
08p_gen_EMEA_L4_mis.rar

08p has a little bug that occures even in unmodded firmware: If language setting is on "automatic" and SIM language is other than english, a nonworking "Turkish Board" is shown. Select your desired language in setup and restart phone.
I can't do anything about it.


New 10.01.2007
Bint's 59xpV2 debranded (incl. icons and themes) and with L4 language modding:
59xpV2_bint_EMEA_L4_debr_mis.rar

has higher video resolution and realplayer with equalizer
More info about Bint's 59xp here:

NEW
Updated 24xp version ( 2007/05/18 )
with L4_EMEA language pack. I did some debranding, changed ugly CM icons and skins to those from 08p, deleted some chinese stuff and of course exchanged language
Main changes are:

• -DST update
  -camera with "silent" option from 30p (video resolution as 24p cam)
  -application manager from 30p allowing multitasking with java apps
  -reintegrated files from bint (binaries in /bin incl. bash2) that where missing in former version
  -3 of 7 folders in "My Favorites" are deletable now

VR and talking phone work like in former version I was not able to fix the issue with span/port talking phone not reading incoming messages (reads messages written on the phone only)
Maybe this is on original 04FR also as this happens even using the app folder from this fw. English talking phone does read incoming messages.

There is 24xp C2 version for those who are stuck to C2 track already or who don't mind beeing stuck, and a hybrid version for people who don't want to be stuck to C2 track.

The hybrid has nonworking call divert setting and most likely shorter battery life. Its like an update for 59xpV2 user

bint's 24xp debranded
24xp30_c2_bint_emea_l4_debr_01_mis.rar
Please those who are not on 24p already and do not have nonworking A1200i: Think twice before you decide to flash with this. YOU CAN NOT GO BACK TO OTHER FW!!! Only other 24p or 30p versions.

bint's 24xp 46p hybrid version
24xp46p30_bint_emea_l4_debr_01_mis.rar
This hybrid allows to flash other than 24p/30p firmware so if you don't like it you can flash 08p or 59xp or whatever you want to. See above for features.

30xp-oent debranded and with L4 EMEA language:
30p-c2_oent_emea_l4_00_mis.rar

This is from C2 track so after flashing you cannot go back to other than 30p or 24p. Phones with 24p/25p can be flashed with this! A1200i should work also (works with C2-24p so why not with C2-30p) but I couldn't verify yet.
Advantages to 24p: Better camera with "silent" mode, can run more than one java app simultanously
A little problem appears with VR: It works only in english the software seems to be updated and the spanish/portuguese language files don't work with the new version. Sorry, but I can't do anything with this (only wait for updated L4 fw).
I removed win xp startup and win mobile skin (people who like win mobile can buy an iPaq or install whatever skin they want ), put in blue moto skin, made dark skin default (sorry, but you can change to your favorite), changed icons from CM to animated Moto, changed ringtones to english, edited bootup.cfg to make usage of startup.txt script possible (allowing DST update), made 3 of 7 folders in "My Favorits" (is now "Phone") deletable, changed default usb setting to modem (so RSDLite can recognize it at first boot)...



Also I found a solution for apps that are useless for some people and usefull for other:
Posted here is a set of scripts that delete the entries in user menu registry just tap on the file (eg. remove_BarcodeReader.sh) wait a little and restart the phone. The app will not be deleted but no icon is shown in menu anymore.
I didn't find a way to recover single apps, maybe someone who is better with linux commands can find one, until then only all apps can be recovered either with a phone reset or resetting the menu file with a script that is in this package too (updated 2007/05/1.


DST update (daylightsaving time for US/Can) is not included
update 2007/05/18: download the script "dst_update.rar", copy all files on root of TF, execute "DSTupdate.sh", restart phone and change settings in worlclock app at least one time to force the app reading data. This replaces ezx_boot.cfg, copies ezx_dst.cfg to the phone. On every bootup the file will be mounted to the worldclock folder (see underneeth the pictures)
This should work also for any other bint firmware


New (05.05.2007):
30xp-oent/46p hybrid firmware, debranded and with L4 EMEA language:
30p46p_oent_emea_l4_00_mis.rar

This hybrid allows to flash other than 24p/30p firmware so if you don't like it you can flash 08p or 59xp or whatever you want to (you won't want to ). It's like other hybrids (bint's 59xpV2) with little downsides: battery life is much shorter, call diverts don't work (found no other for now)
Anything else is just the same as with 30p-oent C2 version (noticably faster than 59xpV2)

Thanks Mischka, you're the man!

Now let me get this straight..This is an unbranded, Spanish GUI+keyboard+VR based on 46p so that I don't need any other keyboard hack or else to input latin characters such as á é and ñ AND view the menus in spanish?
Thanks again

[mischka]

The english keyboard will have spanish layout and I added the tilde or accent to this to put it above the letter typed just before.

Instead you can also tap on "äü" and then you'll have the layout in the picture above (not black but briht grey). There you'll find the éú...etc. and many others completely (without having to put it above). In this layout there is Shift and Cab available for capital letters too.
You can decide how jou type these characters


Yes there is no branding and keyboard, word prediction, GUI and VR all in spanish.

I don't know if you'll miss anything with this but all you asked is there

[mischka]

Sorry but I just figured out how to adapt keyboard colour to skin colour. If you like dark skin (like me) and want dark keyboard in this you should download again (and if you have installed allready, install again).

The other skins still have the usual keyboard colour!

I just changed the download link in my first post to that version.

If you're not interrested anyway use the version I uploaded first there is nothing else different only keyboard colour in dark skin!

edit: old version has bug with BCR not working!

******problem solve thanks to mischka******

[Cazurela]

Anyone else can confirm about the broken BCR? Also is there any particular reason you chose the 46p firmware over others (for example 53p) Mischka?

Thanks

Broken BCR I have to confirm myself now, sorry I fixed it in my german version and now make an update for spanish (takes 1/2 hour ). Thanks to alexags for finding it.

The reason for using 46p I explained in my first post

After fixing any other bugs that might come up I'll make a version for 08p (this takes some time 'cause I can't do it with copy and paste only if it's another fw).

Dont wait for any version for branded or debranded fw such as CMM 53p or Bint's 53p

[mischka]

Ok, download link is just updated with BCR working

Sorry for the unconveniance but this bug must have been in my former versions without spanish GUI too (just nobody recognized).
