Hi everyone,
I've finally rooted my phone and installed Endymion's awesome rom. It's been working great so far, except that it doesn't display chinese characters (although it has chinese IME, in which the characters only show up as boxes)
Is there any way to install the font manually? Tried searching the forums with no luck.
Thanks in advance!
I have no experience with Chinese characters, but I'm guessing some app like Font Installer (sorry, can't post links yet) should allow you to find a font that includes them.

The best way is
1) Download any Chinese Unicode font
2) download Es file explore form market
3) put font to your sd card
4) open Es file explorer, goto setting and root options,
5) check mount system rw
6) rename font as DroidSansFallback.ttf, and copy
7) now go to system, fonts folder, and paste.
It will ask to replace, press yes. Reboot and enjoy
Hi
My current ROM is CM 10.1 on Wildfire S. Everything is working fine except one thing. Asian language render. I need Bengali language (Bangla) Support on that ROM. Now It shows only few "dots" when I open any website with Bengali font (in firefox it's show "box").
Now the question "is there any patch/solution to render Asian language (Bangla) on that ROM (CM 10.1)" ?
Thanks.
Just install "Lohit Font"
I think so you don't have Bengali Font (For CM). You can install Lohit Bengali
Download Link:
github.com/CyanogenMod/android_external_lohit-fonts/blob/cm-10.1/lohit-bengali-ttf/Lohit-Bengali.ttf
Instuctions:
Download
Copy to Phone
Install .ttf font file by copying it to ~/.fonts directory.
Then execute fc-cache command and then relogin to use that font.
Please explain

Hi,
this looks like a promising phone! But I find it weird that some languages are supposed to be left out from this phones (stock) software. Im from Czech Republic and czech language is not supported (on some forums I saw a message where someone claimed its been confirmed by Motorola) - isnt that weird?
This phone is one of three Im considering as my future phone so this is a bit disappointing. I think there wont be a problem thanks to Cyanogenmod, but still ... this sucks!
Is there a supported languages list somewhere, please?
Japanese
I often used my previous phone in Japanese. It seems this language isn't supported either. Is there a way to add languages in? It seems like it should be a simple enough thing to do, but I really wouldn't know how.

Send question to Motorola.
Edit: Or read this - https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6e930724f1
Edit2: Actually since 4.3 all languages should be included. At least Nexus 5 owners did find a lot previously missed languages.
or try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sightidea.locale
not perfect, but worked for me!
"After 4.2 new Jelly Bean, Only system app can get CHANGE_CONFIGURATION permission.
If your device have been root. Locale and Language can get the permission automatically.
If you're able to use development tools(adb), you can grant the permission manually command below.
>adb shell
>pm grant com.sightidea.locale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION"

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, it seems that the system still remains largely in english when changing to languages not originally supported by Motorola (tested with Japanese and Czech).
Yeah, this sucks. I have just received the global GSM version of the the Moto G sold in the US (system version 14.14.16.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US), which only comes with 4 languages:
- English
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- French
The UK ROM does include a bunch of other languages (listed here: http://blog.clove.co.uk/2013/11/22/motorola-moto-g-languages/), but not Czech or Japanese. Luckily for me, I need it in Chinese (it's a gift for a relative in China) which is available in the UK ROM, so I just had to flash the UK ROM following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 .
I'm from Russia and I guess I know how to add russian language (the same way you can add your lang)
I've already changed some system files(framework-res.apk and settings.apk) for this and now I'm just waiting for my moto G. (it will arrive at the next 2 weeks)
Is there anyone who wanna try it?(only guys who wants to add a russian language)
You need to unlock your bootloader and have a root on your device.
I'm waiting for this people in pm.
и, если вы знаете Русский, то пишите по русски)

ahm.. I gave a wrong information... Actually I able to add more than one (not only russian) language.
So, if somebody will give me these files : framework-res.apk (path system/framework ) and settings.apk (system/app)
then I can try add all languages as possible. (only languages that available in lg nexus 4 (on the android 4.3) )
As I know nexus 4 has a stock android like a moto G and nexus has a larger list of languages. So I just can take them from nexus and put into G
I really want that it would be working.
So I need a man who give files to me and check out my modified files.

BTW, my G isn't delivered yet, but can You please check, does the Nexus contain (it should) Estonian language?
And some "howto add custom languages" would also good.

seems it doesn't contain estonian
But I can be wrong.
So, I take dump files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536836
"This is the stock factory ROM 14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE, which the devices are shipped in germany/europe.
the right build number is 14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8, sorry for the confusion."
So, if you have this firmware in your phone. And you have a root.
download the files and follow these steps:
ATTENTION! IT CAN BRICKS YOUR DEVICE! I'm not responsible for this.
1. instal app root_explorer on your device (you need to root your device before)
2. move settings.apk and framework-res.apk into system/ (not system/app or system/framework !!! only into system/) (if you can't do it, move to 3d step than back to 2nd)
3. click on top right button for change your rights (read only(ro) or read/write(rw). you need "read/write)
4. set permissions (long tap on each file -> permissions) (you should set perm-s to both files - framework-res.apk and settings.apk)
I think permissons should be like this:
x x 0
x 0 0
x 0 0
5. delete file settings.odex from system/app
6. move settings.apk into system/app and replace it
7. move framework-res.apk into system/framework and replaced it
8. reboot your phone
or you can use adb if you able to do it
_______
So, after all you should find in settings over 20 new languages... But if it's not, i'm really sorry and I'll be working on this when my phone will arrived
Download files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q2emronmrr8pbhu/files.zip
And if someone (I hope it happends) checks this can he give me a screenshots
that's not a full translation. Almost all in settings should be on your language (after you set it) and some interface.

Thanks for howto and search. Can't test it yet.
Actually I prefer English, as the translation is always a bit strange, but I'd like to change date and time format, currency, measurement units, starting working day, location, etc to match these, what I normally use when phone have Estonian language.
Do You know how to do this - keep English but change all others so called "regional behavior" to match my needs?
Purple donkey's suggestion is fine for that. Link is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sightidea.locale
You do need to grant the app permissions, I think, and it will cause some things to be translated, but it will also change the formats etc

BTW, instead of replacing, I'd prefer rename old files, so I can always revert back.

if this method works that it is very easy to do "regional behavior". Am I right that it is when all interface in english but installed apps are using your language?
And of course you can rename old files)

I believe that it is meant that the phone is desired to have localised date and time formats, currency, measurements, etc.

Yes, close, but if everything is English, this is also OK, most important that date format is not US format month/day/year, but day.month.year, time is in 24h, measurement and temperature, speed are using not US but European (kg, g, km/h, Celsius) format etc.
It's doable/customizable in any computer OS, but not in Android.
ksuuk said:

I think it's easy to do it. obviously I'll forget about this. But if you want this format of data you should ask me about that at the end of the year (25-30 dec)
And is time not really in 24h format? I think you can change it in the settings

Got the framework-res file (this is from the UK version), couldn't find the other in the given path.

the path for settings.apk is system/app
and there should be this file
But I think it doesn't matter which settings.apk you use. Not the same situations with framework-res.apk.
I'll change your framework-res.apk and you should replaced your file with this. And take my settings.apk from my link above and do the same.
P.s
it's good that you have uk version because my phone will arive from amazone.co.uk and I can modife some files now and replaced them as soon asI can.

Ok, found the workaround. This post was incomplete and not detailed, your phone needs to be rooted first to have it work. This should have been mentioned in the prerequisites.
