My New Galaxy S2G

[mohammedkhairy]

You can install that if you want to.
It is for the I9100G and it is ICS.
Not sure if it will have the Arabic language and right to left scrolling you were wanting.
But give it a try as you can change to another firmware.

NOTE: When going from Gingerbread to ICS and back, make sure you factory reset and Clear cache.
This is best done before and after Odin.

Thank you, How can I make factory reset and clear cache and does it delete all phone contents
there is another question I read when i finish install firmware (what ever firmware) i put this code *#06*IMEI# and choose something from a list What is this and is it necessary ????



Another question make me worry about?
I have 2 phones S2G one of them written on its back (Made in Korie by samsung) and the other is (Fabricate en China per samsung) in French with the same price. does i cheated by the seller and does the Chinese telephone is bad?

Factory reset and clear cache will delete your apps, settings, sms and your contacts, so you need to back up.
This can be done via Kies (Kies air if you find connecting to Kies via USB difficult)
Or, with Contacts, it is better to save them in your Gmail account and then simply sync back to your phone (this will be done automatically)

It is useful to root your phone for more backup options: See this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h0HEgOlCak

The code you mention is not necessary, especially if you do not intend to update your phone using Kies.
What it does is to set your sales code to the geographic location you are in.

Regarding your S2 made in China ..... I was not aware that Samsung gave licences to China, but that wouldn't stop them from copying the process.
Does the 'made in China' phone have the same specification?
You could install an app like quadrant standard ' to check the specification and performance:

it gave approximately results but in china device it give 1 core in processor???????!!!!!!!!!

Quadrant standard changes its mind on my S2.
Under CPU it shows as Cores: 2, but sometimes Cores: 1

If other spec's are the same, then the phone is genuine (or a good copy!!)

If you installed French ICS over Gingerbread then factory reset and Clear cache.
For your Arabic keyboard did you check on Settings >Language and input for an Arabic keyboard? If not, ask on Wanam's site as there may be a download file.

If you are looking for the camera shortcut on the lock screen, it did not make it to the final ICS release, although was on some pre release ICS versions.

thank you Greenman i will handle with english language?
There is a small problem :
Phone read Arabic but big size is there is way to minimize Arabic words only as englosh words is very good

To change font size, press Menu in the application then Settings then Accessibility.

I can't find it when i choose Accessibility its only show talk back,the power key ends call, auto rotate screen,speak passwords,tap and hold delay, and install web scripts
What should i choose?

[greenman]

You have to be in the application - so if in Gmail for example. Press Menu then Settings > General settings and you will find text size.
Other applications may have a similar setting.
