Greetings users.
Is there a way to make my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000N obey locale settings for user content? It shows me apps, ebooks and others in Portguese, even if my locale is set to US English. I would really like to see US eBooks for download, in English, and not have the Tab detecting my physical location.
I'm using HumberOS 1.2.5, based on OverCome I believe, and don't have many options cause the Euro ROMs won't fully work on the P1000N/L (latin versions).
I have only 1 CSC option - ZTO, and not sure if reseting to another CSC would actually do what I desire.
Any tips?
Hmmm. I think the actaul apps that I have in mind are localized versions, like Samsung Apps and eBook. I wonder if I can install the american version...
I did try to change sales_code.dat but it doesn't change anything.

Ahh, found what I needed, and it was right there in front of me. MarketEnabler.

[UPDATE] not really. gotta use a vpn, unlocator, register yourself through another country... all a big pain.

Hi, I would like to ask if anyone knows if it is possible to update the transformer firmware manually with the files of a different region?
The reason I am asking is that I got my Transformer in Japan, and the update to honeycomb 3.1 is not released here yet. (its still 3.0)
Can I use the US, or WW firmware file to update without any problems?
I'm a little worried about losing functionality with the dock keyboard, since the layout for the Japanese model is a little different (different key-mapping).
Has anyone tried to do this?
Thanks!
yeah I really need to know this too. I love this tablet but the browser crashes alot and the keyboard is laggy plus the video is horrible and staggered both on youtube and from the memory so I'm hoping the update will fix this but for some reason Japan hasn't gotten the update which is driving me crazy
Cheers for a response in advance
So... has anyone tried this?
I want 3.1, but I don't want to brick my transformer (><)
You can try PRIME 1.5 version, It's more optimized than the stocks firmware. But other firmware should works fine.
thanks makec3rt
I don't know anything about custom roms. I read the post that you linked to. But, I don't 100% understand what the point of this rom is..? Why use it instead of the stock?
Also, am I likely to have issues with the keyboard layout if I install this? And what happens to the pre-installed apps (like polaris office etc)?
You can read the change logs at there. With PRIME 1.5, you will have root access, which allow you access/modify/remove stocks apps you don't wan't, and system files etc..and not limited as the stocks firmware.
Keyboard layout should works fine, you can always change keyboard layout in the settings.
All pre-installed apps are still there.
Hi guys! I've got the same problem: my EEE Pad is from Deutschland (Build number: HRI66.DE_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511) and THE ONLY language is Deutcsh (no other languages are available in the menu). MoreLocale doesn't really help.
Cause I don't know Deutsch at all I wonder if it's possible to change firmware for US/WW/CN or anything else that would have several languages to choose from.
And what I have to do for that.
Installing a foreign SKU will void your warranty, that's for sure.
Hello People!
I am originally from Denmark but I live and work in China and this is where I bought my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1. Now, ofcourse I didn't remember the whole google vs China government issue so now I am missing android market and general google apps. I installed android market using this guide from Technic Pages.
Also, since it is with Chinese firmware I get all kinds of stuff from their search engine Baidu and it wan'ts me to use Renren (Chinese facebook) instead of the real facebook in SocialHub.
I can see that I can download ROM's for other regions and I am wondering if it is possible to flash my tab so that it is running european or US firmware instead of Chinese?
If so, is there a way to back-up the current firmware so that in case it goes south, that I can go back to the Chinese stuff. I mean, it works, but I would rather have everything that I want.
And if this is possible, can someone point me in the direction of how it is done
- Thanks!
I have the very same problem and would appreciate your help as well.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
In my opinion Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 could work well, wait to solve this problem.
Guys, looking for some assistance on the correct wifi/US firmware. Currently KOT49H.P900UEU1ANAE on my tablet.
I have rooted with CF autoroot, and then I noticed I lost my keyboard symbols, and screen mirroring. Tablet has been great even so, as I put exposed/wanam, then installed the "alternate keyboard module" which gave me the symbols back. Being there is no work around for the screen mirroring, I decided to odin stock firmware, which I had downloaded from sammobile. I used the "unknown" for country, as US is not listed. So, as I was using the stock ROM, all my stuff stayed through Odin. Cool. No keyboard symbols, but it did bring back screen mirroring.
While in settings/language, the words with "z", are all spelled with "s".(recognised vs recognized, colours vs colors) Huh, am I running a UK version? Bought in Connecticut. When I try to set up the languages, there is no option for setting to either. I know from early posts, I saw that both the language setting had to be on English US for the symbols to show. I cant even get that to happen. Also, that posters words were spelled with a z, not s like mine.
I did a factory reset through the stock recovery, thinking I could reset the language option during setup. It only listed English, no US or UK. So I am at a crossroads. Kies3 doesnt seem to support this tab yet. Can anyone confirm a wifi US version build #? Also, does anyone have a download link to the US version other than Sammobile? thanks
Not sure the best place to ask this question, which comes in a couple of parts:
1) Does anyone have much experience of developing Android ROMs for the Intel Atom platform - particularly on ASUS hardware?
2) Do you need to flash a completely new ROM just to change the OS language localisation, or can it be changed via setting?
3) Depending on the answer to 2), do ASUS make it particularly difficult to flash a ROM?
I ask because I'm in the market for a new tablet in the upper-mid range. Needs to be 10", FHD screen, sensibly priced, and not have a crappy processor and RAM so it won't need replacing in 12 months time. I don't particularly want a Samsung, as they seem to charge a premium price for a not-particularly (in my view) premium product.
The ideal spec machine which I have discovered is the ASUS Transformer Pad TF303C, which seems sensibly priced and spec'd. However, as of right now, it's only available in Germany through a specific retailer, and nowhere else. Neither Google nor ASUS themselves have turned up anything in the way of distributors anywhere else in the world, which is odd.
Now I'm guessing the software on a German version will be a German-language localised ROM, which will hopefully explain my questions above.
Can anybody shed any light for me please?
For the first question there are almost no Roms for Intel devices
The language can be change via the settings, there is no need to flash a new ROM,
The lack of rom can be kind of solved with xposed modules

Thanks for the reply. Changing the language via the Settings i kind of knew about, but does that change all the application names as well? Will i be left with 'Das Gmail' and other app names? Will it connect to the English version of the Play Store? Is there even a non-English version of the Play Store? I'm assuming there would have to be, but being a native English speaker, I've never had cause to check!
I'm not that bothered about there being not much in the way of Intel ROMs - I was just wondering if I'd need to flash a new ROM to sort language issues fully.

i just tried it on my tablet and all the google apps (play store, gmail) and the os language changes automatically, but some 3rd party apps from the play store did not

Wonderful - thanks for trying it out for me. Looks as through the Play Store is natively in English and automatically translates itself into other languages, similarly to Chrome etc.
Hi Guys,
was about to pull the trigger on Amazon to buy this phone when noticed in Q&A section that US version only comes with few languages - not worldwide Android language selection. Since I was planning to send this phones to Ukraine to my nieces, I need to know if it is possible to re enable Russian/Ukrainian and what I would have to do. Root probably? Please only answer if you are sure of the working method, I don't want to just test theories.
Thanks.
I have 6045I and just changed the default locale using a local-changing app. You are right - the choices of language is limited to English, Espanol, Francais or Italiano. If you root your Idol 3, you can change locale easily-all you have to do is install a locale-changing app and run it. But I wouldn't want to go that route and I was able to do without rooting the device. You need to change permission using adb shell pm command (most locale-changing app displays exactly how you change the permission) before running the app.
Not all the menus and messages won't change to the language you change to of course, but you can convert some to the language of your choice. The app I installed has a Russian locale option.
OK, good to know. Thanks for prompt answer and good advise. Since no rooting is involved, phone should stay on the OTA updates schedule and this is very important to me. Could you please check if Ukrainian option is available as well? Girls mostly speak Ukrainian and, if I understand correct, locale determines the responses they are going to see when using any locale-aware app, like Google Market, Facebook, etc.
BTW, I tested this method with my own unrooted phone and it does work, though there is a bag of gotchas. Phone settings reset to English (as probably my phone does not use Android standard settings and the one it uses does not have prper translation), locale-aware apps changed language, but only in places, so it's a mix of Eng-Ukr. OK Google voice activation stopped working in the new locale (I can still use voice prompts, but can not invoke it from home screen with OK Google phrase) and Language settings do not have new option for the added locale, so the only way yo change it if someone changes it back to one of the default ones is through the locale app (I use Locale More Pro app).
