[Q] Difference between german and french SGS3? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
The german device is just on Android 4.3 with ROM I9300XXUGMK6.
Now I get some devices with french text on Android 4.1.2 with ROM I9300XXEMG4.
Is there a difference between the german and the french SGS3? Something like provider rom?
Thanks
Temporer

other is older

To make it short- if the device is region free / unlocked - there is no difference at all, except 3 minor things:
1- supported languages: for some reasons, suppliers prefer to hide the built-in support of 4.1 (and above) android of all languages.
2- different modems- some roms have a modem that works great in specific countries.
3- built in apps- suppliers sometimes love to integrate some apps in the system, some that are completely useless...
For the difference between the two you mentioned- if they don't belong to a specific supplier- just go with the newest one. Also, most of the custom roms solves the issues above, so if you're planning to install one, I strongly suggest that you'll try the one of them- especially the one in my signature

I have done some research about this Rom version because I didn't know this Rom version but it seams to be a South East Asia Rom version you have.
If this is correct, that's the reason way you can't access the new Rom on the HTC website because it's based on EU users.
so as in htc doesnt provides any support for the south east asian versions?

Thy are probably working on it; even the EU version don't support every language fore the moment.
Ow, I don't recommended to flash this EU version on a hard way. Some peoples have tray it and it isn't a good thing, trust me.
but i need a new rom i guess bcuz my leo is lagging while using...im new to the cooked rom stuff but can the cooked roms get the job done for me?

Yes, cooked Rom are more flexible!
It isn't complicate just read and follow the information that the Rom builder mention.
thanks kurt! ..btw just wanted to know if htc releases the roms only for some specific region as in will they actually release a south asian rom update? and can you point me to some thread relating to battery life of the hd2? deosnt last a day with all the updates turned off

- Yes official HTC Rom updates are regional
- When will thy released a south asian Rom?? I don't know I don't work fore them, and there isn't a logic?
- Battery live is related to different point's; most influent is the Radio version.
I must be honest till yesterday personally I was only satisfy with the 1.07 radio I tray them all, just yesterday I tested the new 1.15 radio and I must say "thats the one!" fore my used, it depends of your location and in combination of the Rom
If you don't have a clou about a Rom take a look on the Artemis Rom (It's the one I used, and very happy with it) (You can find the link in my signature)
PS this is a suggestion, based on my experience but I'm sure if you ask 10 peoples with one is the best Rom you will get 7 different answer if it is not 10!

[STOCK] [EUR] S5830XEOKP2 - 2.3.4 official

Can any moderator please move this topic to that forum please. My mistake
Reported :/
How is it new though? KPT exists since some weeks if I'm not mistaken. And why does it say 2.3.4 when it's actually 2.3.3?
Its the CSC version I guess, but its from S5830XWKPT, which is 2.3.4.
Anyone using this version?
It say Europa but anyone know what languages it is? Swedish? Is it really official or leaked?

OK I see and for what zone is this one?
I still dont know how to read the lettercodes.....making no sense to me even after reading at samfirmware...
I answer it myself..........installed it and it was polish as first language after boot.
XEOKP2 - The XEO is assigned to Poland.
[STOCK] [EUR] S5830XEOKP2 - 2.3.4 official is fake
I tried it.
It is not 2.3.4, just 2.3.3.
It is however a nice release, and got rid of the operator's restriction for me.
It is a European multi language release.
It is working fine so far. The only thing to comment about it is that it comes with a couple of polish apps that are in polish (TV, etc...) But they can be removed installing some tools.

[Q] what ROM have all Language MUI including Chinese?

Do anyone know, and any developer for SGS2 have ROM in Multilang that include Chinese in Traditional and Simplified?
I am using VillainROM 2.5, love the rom.
But here in Taiwan, friends and family can not read English.
Just need to change English to Chinese!
There are a lot of Chinese versions of ROMs at the Mobile01 board. Try one of these: http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=568&t=2188818&last=30857303
You can also just flash the official HK/Taiwan firmware. Get ZSKG2 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
Also try this ROM, appears to be Taiwan traditional Chinese only: CovercoTW_beta ROM for I9100

would you know if there is a CW patch , just to patch Traditional Chinese MUI into a ROM?
btw, what Custom Traditional Chinese rom you recommend?

is it that LeoMar and Cognition ROMs all already include Traditional Chinese in their Rom? or Mobile01 custom it with Chinese?
LeoMar and Cognition don't have Chinese normally. The Mobile01 ones are custom versions.
I can't really recommend any because I read English better than Chinese. I got my phone from Taiwan so it came with the ZSKG2 firmware. ZSKG2 worked fine for me; you can try that if you don't need Android 2.3.4. But now I use English ROMs with Chinese IME added.

[Q] GT-9100G lack of Spanish language

Hi folks,
A friend of mine bought a S2 GT-9100G, and founds that it lacks of Spanish language in its system. For him, it would be great to have it in Spanish. Is there any way to install the Spanish in it somehow?
what rom does he have?

Regular stock rom with gingerbread.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
In case this gets to be of anyone's interest, I found out that by updating the system (using regular KIES software) it will download the latest version of the stock ROM.
This will cause the device to download all languages (and if you live in a Spanish speaking country, it will bring the language in that update).
I hope it helps anyone in the future.

[Q] Which firmware to install?

Hi everyone, I am new here. I just returned i9100g for a i9100. Anyways as I look for the i9100 firmware at sammobile.com, there are tons of ICS available. Which one will I install?
Also I am in Bangladesh, however we get mixed region phones: Sometimes from Malaysia, Singapore, France, etc. How do I know which region I have, so it can guide to install the proper ICS.
I installed XXLPJ, everything works well, however I noticed that just like my initial i9100g, whenever I use the voice to setup alarm, it doesn't work. I fixed this problem when I installed the proper region firmware for my phone, which was French at that time. The problem is I don't know which region of the phone this actually is.
Any idea?
Thank you
I dont think different regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings too...
you can check the firmware information by dailing *#1234#
ROM selection
you can have a look for the language supported by that rom, you can also go for custom rom, language information was given there that it support these many language.
Also i am agree with "zaheedahmed" that "regional firmwares will make any difference in your alarm settings" i guess this the bug with that version of ROM, so it better to upgrade your ROM.
Thanks for your responses. What do I need to look after after for the latest firmware, android version? Cause there are tons of 4.0.3
