How to install full Russian language on S7 Active?
Now it is very easy to do!
We do everything by analogy with S6 Active, the sequence of actions is as follows:
Of course, to begin with, we set the locale and switch to Russian in it.
Next, take the theme "NewUX"from here
Attention, we take the version WITHOUT transfer of the gallery, the translated version of the gallery on our S7 Active is buggy!
Then takePackage Disabler pro
Install NewUX, set TWO times in a row, after the second installation, a message pops up that is installed, once is not enough, after installation, the "NewUX" theme appears as a trial topic in the Topics section.
Install Package Disabler pro.
EZ Package Disabler does not suit us, because he cannot block the Themes application itself, he simply does not see it.
We start our trial "NewUX", after that the countdown has gone!
We launch Package Disabler pro in it we block 2 applications "Theme Store" and the actual theme itself "Themes".
Next, the most important thing, after blocking "Themes", quickly go in there and make "Clear Data" so that in the section "Ram memory Usage" was "0 MB", otherwise our "NewUX" will fly off.
For this, it is more convenient to switch the interface Package Disabler pro to English. the language (press the "En" button at the top) is otherwise inconvenient to use, the Russian translation in it is crooked and the inscriptions in the margins go off the screen, however
subsequently, when memorize which button to press, in English. You can not switch the menu Disabler pro, well, or just remember the second button on the bottom on the right side.
After that, we calmly use, almost everything in Russian, the percentage of translation of the menu is 90% (in some settings you can find English in some places, mainly in those where Active 7 does not coincide with Active 6)
There is one inconvenience, after EVERY reboot / shutdown, you need to quickly go back to Package Disabler pro in "Themes" and do "Clear Data" there, if you forget, after 5 minutes the theme flies and you have to do everything in a new way - unlock it in Package Disabler pro "Theme Shop" and "Themes", include the "NewUX" theme, then block the "Theme Shop" and "Themes" again, go to "Themes" and make "Clear Data" there.
Remember that the theme was created on the basis of the S6 Active firmware, so a perfect match is not guaranteed!


Many thanks for the work of translation and assembly express the cracker "NewUX" newtorus,, and alexskov,
for the idea of ​​using it all with S7 Active.

I’ve got a cut on another page, tell me what time it takes to fully charge using w / o technology?

[Iskatel77]

Reader79 thank you very much for being not too lazy and having painted the whole process of Russification ... but I’m wondering if you stupidly refer to the officers in the SC and ask for Russify ... what will they do?

[Reader79]

Iskatel77,
Try and tell here

[Iskatel77]

Reader79 @ 09/01/2016, 10:12

Iskatel77,

Be sure to tell)))

[Iskatel77]

I just didn’t understand it that way ... in order for me to get a Russian keyboard for typing messages, do I have to set the subject? Without this, there is no Russian layout?

It seems that in the settings of the keyboard you can download Russian.

So I think about it ... and the Aglitsky letters in the name of the icons do not frighten me ......

[Mortalchip]

Are the methods for getting root and working with firmware from a regular S7 theme suitable for working with SM-G891F?

[Ufanet]

MortalChip,no, and forget) until the AT or Samsung unlocks the bootloader (bootloader), there will be nothing, well, very few chances that it will bypass)

[Mortalchip]

Ufanet,
Nothing in the sense of getting a root or getting a brick? : happy:

Initially, the question of getting root and firmware arises from the fact that I now have Sonya (I don’t understand it in Samsung), I have sued $ 1200 for my device and I’m going to take another one (Sonya).
With Samsung, everything suits me except for the shell, the first thing after the purchase I want to get rid of this terrible shell.

[Norphil]

In favor of what ??

[Ufanet]

MortalChip,
At the moment, it is impossible to get root, recovery and, accordingly, custom firmware. On Samsung galaxy s6 active there is still no way to get a root on 5.1 / 6.0 after more than a year as a phone on sale.

[Reader79]

MortalChip,
Yes, it is necessary to relax with ruts, booths, etc. just enjoy the phone as it is
This is the same as in the Motorola operator, maybe if you're lucky, they will break on some version of the firmware and you will get a root or you will be able to open the bootloader, but you should definitely not buy this model with an eye on customization in the future.
