I don't like to install Cestar, so is there anyother way?
There is no default Chinese support in WM6 ROM built here. CE-Star is good choice to add Chinese support to WM6. Working good with SimOne and WM6 Brushed. Not working with S.V.I. and WizFlo. Hope this help.

Why don't you try this http://www.studiokuma.com/wm/?section=support
Thank you, agan, but I use simplified chinese most of the time, I don't really use traditional chinese, so anyone know about the simplified chinese?

I don't think its problem of CE-Star. If you are using a custom built ROM, the problem might be the ROM. The SimOne & M2D Brushed are working fine with CE-Star.
If you install CESTAR, it will cost u 10M more, that's why I don't like installing it. Still looking for the other ways.
First,install a software called "FotgottenNationsNo5",about 2.32MB;
Then reastart,and select "Start Menu--Setting--System--Regional Settings" as "Chinese(People's Republic of China)";
Now,U can install the Chinese font as U like,From"3.39MB to 14.6MB",I prefer to install the one which is 3.39MB called"Chinese_WM5.cab"

So can the chinese fold name and file name display correctly?
I found the easiest way, downloaded one file call Ricky MSYH 6M ChineseSupport v1.1
but if u can read chinese, go to Ricky's website, u will have more choice for u. Try MSYH first, I installed the SIMSUN one, that didn't work.
I have the same problem as you. This is what I figure it out after trying several things.
You need to install a chinese font (*.ttf), so your device can read Chinese characters. This can be sunglobe, yahei or any other you can find here. If you just copy to your "windows" directory in the device and do a soft reset you will be able to read most of the files in Chinese. If you need suppport in all programs, you may need a real tweak also. This means changing some of the reg (HKLM with regedit or similar). Also there are some cab files that do it for you (install the font and do the register changes).
If you also want to write in chinese, you have to install a chinese input program this will allow you to write te character or use pinyin (like A4, PlumSIP or other).
At the end this is what CE Star and other programs do, install fonts and the input program, but also install many other thing you may not need.
Maybe you can look here:

You may install "O2 Chinese Plus Fixed" into your device.Then your ppc can display simplified Chinese. It takes about 3M space.
i will try your method when i reach home, every time i install the chinese display software on my wm6.1 (atom exec),will make all the hard buttom lost their function!
why don't you try O2 Chinese Plus Fixed for your WM system
Hello to everyone.
Please forgive me if you think that I'm not posting in the correct forum, but I think that posting in the general Sapphire forum would be more irrelevant.
I'm using Cyanogen's 4.0.4 ROM and I'm totally satisfied with it. I think he (with the help of many others) has done a great job, keep up the good work guys!
My only problem (and believe me it's a big problem for me) is that the HTC keyboard supports only the english language. I have tried many ROMs and some of them had other language support, but unfortunatelly I had others problems and had to drop them. So here I am with Cyanogen's ROM which I would be totally satisfied with, if I could use the HTC keyboard with my native language (Greek for my case).
I have tried everything, uninstalling and reinstalling HTC_IME.apk, HTC_IME.odex and libt9.so from JACxHERO's ROM that works with my language, with no success at all.
I assume that a lot of people like the HTC keyboard like me and would like to use it with their native language. So, if there is a solution and anyone knows it, I would really appreciate it to know.
Thank you in advance and again, keep up the good work!!!
I'm interested on the same issue. That's the only reason I keep using Hero ROMs.
I'm interested to...
Is there a way to add spanish language and T9 languages to the magics??? Like spanish for example?
This is the exact same reason why I'm still looking for an OS for my G2. Tons of kudos to whoever can tell us some about this.
+1 for me.
instead of installing other languages i wanna remove the damned chinese language in my htc magic..please help!!
you can try the following
I'm no expert guys but here is the command that activates Russian language in HTC.ime. It worked fine for me and English stays as a second language for the keyboard.
cd to the Tools folder within SDK and run the following command:
Code:
adb shell "echo ru > /data/property/persist.sys.language"
[code]
Then reboot the device.
Obviously you need to replace "ru" in above code by your respective language short name. Like "gr" would stand for Greek language I would imagine.
rubbish: thanks for your suggestion... but it doesn't work for me as far as HTC Keyboard (HTC_IME.apk) is concerned. I have French Canadian set on my device (i.e. fr set in persist.sys.language and CA set in persist.sys.country) and still, only English appears in the HTC Keyboard configuration panel.
I took a look at this page on the Android localisation topic, but find nothing really helpful to solve the problem with HTC Keyboard: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/web/localizing-android-apps-draft?version=10
As far as I know, HTC_IME.apk was intended to be used on Hero only, not on Magic. Having used Hero ROM for a couple of weeks' I can confirm that you can select any available languages for use with the HTC keyboard. So is there anything else missing (apart from libt9.so) from the Hero system stack in order to have the complete languages list on Magic?
edit
.........
so no news =( ???
All right, let's try the following method although it's going to be trial and error, you'll see why. It will only work for HTC-based firmware I think (Hero ROMs should be OK). I'm on the different firmware at the moment (SPFrance) and it worked fine adding Russian as 2nd language to the HTC keyboard. The method described in my previous post was really for the system locale (although it was adding 2nd keyboard input as well just fine).
You'll need to pull a system file called "com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml" from the device. To do that enter the following command from within tools folder of your SDK folder:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is one command, just copy and paste it. You should get the above mentioned file copied to your Tools folder. Then you need to edit it with Notepad. Now comes trial and error method. To add Russian you need to do the following:
Change: <string name="keyboard_language">0</string>
for: <string name="keyboard_language">6</string>
So it's a simple change of 1 figure (0 -> 6). The thing is I don't know (and couldn't find info) what figures are relevant for other languages. But there's no risk in trying, you can always push the original .xml file back to device. Try from 1 to 9 (missing 6 obviously unless you want Russian) and see how it turns out.
To push file back to device:
[code]
adb push com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml /data/data/com.htc.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.htc.android.htcime_preferences.xml
[code]
This is again a single command. Reboot the device afterwards.
Good luck!

For spanish i could recommend an application called Better Keyboard, it is available though the market... it comes with english and spanish support... also has a language pack with some languages i don't remember ...
Great great tip Rubbish!!! I tried number 5 and I guessed portuguese right on first try! I was looking for this for months and couldn't find it anywhere.
Thanks again! You didn't save my life but will save me a lot of time typing
@rubbish You made my day!
Does this method works on Cyanogen's? Can anyone confirm it? I'm on a Hero ROM.

Yes, you should get it. I got Russian predictive and there's no reason for Spanish to work differently.
To all. If you succeeded with above method please post what number worked for your language. For now we know that 6 adds Russian and 5 - Portuguese.

To get English environment with (in my case) Czech prediction keyboard on 32A with CyanogenMod 4.0.4, I just set the phone locale to Czech (important step, doesn't work without it) using standard phone locale settings - which switches both the environment and predictive language to Czech (note that the keyboard preferences still only show English as the only visible language choice, but it's not actually selected - the list just doesn't show the other choices) then I change the /data/property/persist.sys.country file to contain CZ (that should really be capitalized) and reboot phone. Works like charm (tested on multiple wipes). You can of course do the exact opposite, too - have the keyboard language set to English and UI language to your preffered language.
Basically - the persist.sys.country file controls your regional locale (including keyboard prediction) - in uppercase characters - and the persist.sys.language file contains your UI messages locale - in lowercase characters.
Tryied it out with no succes... Everytime I change the number I got english again =(...
My phone is 100% english xD...
There should be another way to put it in spanish I think right????
Hi!
I installed

Click to expand...

but it seems yust to work with German language. i can change the settings but they don't working. any idea how i get English working?
thx
ok i found it:
settings working when you activate language not over settings, but over keyboard by tap and hold "q"
when i do that... nothing happens, and when I turn swype On, it tells me that this package that i installed is configured for another device and will operate with limited functionality?? what it it about
my swype runs on a custom rom in French (040c) & 24001, I used the packages from the 2.10 rom

Hi all,
as i see this topic is pretty old.
I just want to describe how i made my Swype German.
It's basing on Swype-LordYuz-3.9.10.10.5032.CAB.
Rename the following files in Swype install folder:
SwypeEnglishUS.htm -> SwypeEnglishUS.htm_
SwypeEnglishUS.zdb.le -> SwypeEnglishUS.zdb.le_
or something else..
then:
SwypeGerman.htm -> SwypeEnglishUS.htm
SwypeGerman.zdb.le -> SwypeEnglishUS.zdb.le
Do a Softreset and check if it works.
Even though the settings show EN as language - mine is German and Umlauts work as well
PS.Italian or Spanish people should try it too, the relating files are located in the install folder.
Good luck and Greetz, Brush2
Can it works with greek language?
Hi noolis,
i am afraid it only works with the:
Swype.*Language name*.zdb.le files.
Since there is no
Swype.Greece.zdb.le
in the install folder there is no chance.
Sorry,
Greetz, Brush2
OK but what if one wants to have two or three different languages available. I write a lot in French but need sometimes to send some emails in English ... pressing and holding 'q' does not open any windows with available languages, which is strange as files are available within the installed swype package ...
NoThrills A510 WorldWide optimized Stock ROM
version 2012-12-17, built on Acer_AV051_A510_1.034.00 (JellyBean)
After several years of XDA absense, I'm back in the game! I've provided you guys with a working CWM-Based Recovery for the A510, but my main area of interest is ROM cooking. For those of you who are unfamiliar with a NoThrills ROM: It's a stock ROM, the way it should have been. Manufacturers often intend to build the best devices ever, but due to budget cuts or rushed schedules the most important part of development (finetuning) is skipped. That's where I step in! I create stock ROMs that look and feel the same as the original manufacturer ROM, but are vastly different on the inside.
Here's what's visually changed from the original Stock ROM:
NOTHING.
Here's what's changed on the inside:
Added additional languages: This ROM contains: Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian.
ThrillsKernel (experimental): Click here for full details on the kernel.
Rooted: SU (3.1.1), BusyBox (1.20.2) and SuperUser (3.1.3) installed by default.
Fully Deodexed: Both system apps and system framework.
Zipaligned: For better RAM usage.
/etc/init.d support: Allows you to run your own scripts or mods on boot.
System apps updated: See the second post for the full list.
FlexROM apps updated: See the second post for the full list.
AGPS Patch applied and LTO downloadservice installed: This should get you a faster satellite lock.
Ad-blocking HOSTS file: Makes your browsing experience faster and less annoying.
Added English TextToSpeech files: Why were they missing in the first place, Acer? German, Spanish, French and Italian were included by default...
Various performance tweaks: Faster file access, less logging, better response overall.
Installation:
Step 0:
Check this thread to see if you can help the community before you let us help you!
Step 1:
If you don't have it already, install my CWM-Based Recovery.
Step 2:
Download the ROM from this post, extract the .RAR files and put the .ZIP file on your internal or external SD Card.
Step 3:
Start Recovery by powering down your device, holding the Volume down (**) button and turning it on again.
Step 4:
Make a Nandroid Backup. I can't stress this enough. Select backup and restore and choose one of the backup options.
Step 5:
This step is optional, but recommended when you first install this ROM. Select wipe data/factory reset. Note that this will wipe everything from your data partition, including downloaded apps and settings. Files on your internal or external SD Card are safe.
Step 6:
Install this ROM by choosing install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard or choose zip from external sdcard.
Step 7:
Wait for the installation to finish (this takes a few minutes). Spend your time reading the text below these installation instructions!
Step 8:
Select reboot system now, and enjoy!
Please read the following carefully before installing this ROM:
I am not responsible for anything you do to your tablet. Whatever you do, you do it at your own risk!
This ROM is pre-rooted. Do NOT attempt to install BusyBox or SU manually or you might break root. You can safely upgrade BusyBox and SU!
When installed, this ROM will reboot the tablet on its own once, before Android fully boots. This is normal, it's not a boot loop but it's ensuring your tablet becomes rooted.
First boot (after the automatic reboot) will take a while (5 minutes is no exception). Just be patient, it will boot faster next time.
When the tablet has completed booting for the first time, give it another few minutes to get 'up to speed'. It should be much faster after about 5 minutes.
FAQ:
Want themes? Get them somewhere else! I probably don't like your taste, you probably don't like mine. So why pretend? Use this ROM as your base and start theming yourself!
Want mods? Your ideas might be good in your situation, they probably aren't in mine. Again, use this ROM as your base and start modding yourself!
Found bugs? Let me know! Although I can't promise I'll be able to fix them all, at least I will try.
Want to use this ROM as base for your own? Go ahead, make my day. But do credit me with a link to this thread, so people can also taste my flavorless contraptions.
Want to give me your first born baby? I'd rather not have that, but if you really want to give me something: Either click the 'Donate to me' button on the left, or simply hit the 'Thanks' button on this post.

Hi NoThrills,
i have EMEA_CUS1 on my Tablet can i flash your EMEA_DE without Problems (A510)?
I will flash it when i am at home from work, if the touch is really better i will make a party =D
I will make a Thread at handy-faq.de i hope this is ok for you?

Just to clarify: This ROM uses the updated 1.099.00 system files from the EMEA_DE stock ROM, because this seems to be the best build so far. I've transformed the ROM into a WW_GEN1 ROM, so it's a WorldWide ROM and with my recovery this can be installed on any A510 tablet.
And ofcourse, the more people who use and report about my ROMs, the better they will get :good:

NoThrills is a stock rom modder (similar to what Paul of Modaco does I think). So Acer needs to release our JB update first, then NoThrills can work his magic. :cyclops:

Without a unlocked bootloader, you cannot install a custom recovery
Without a custom recovery, you cannot install a custom ROM
So....
I have the german '99 Rom installed. In regards to the touchscreen sensitivity, installing this custom Rom wouldn't change anything, correct?

I just got my 6039S (4.7 version) from Amazon for my wife today, (my 5.5 is currently on backorder).
I noticed that when starting for first time, I am only allowed to select about 5 or 6 different languages. Haven't gone past initial setup screen as I will wait to get back to Moscow to do it for wife.
I know I can get a third party keyboard that contains this, but looking for full system conversion.
Is there a way to get full system Russian language via a different region ROM? Or is there a method such as modifying the default.xml to add it?
The Alcatel update program doesn't let you choose which ROM to install as far as I can tell.

You need a full ROM (system image) with support for Russian language (but future OTA updates cannot be installed), or a complete dump of the emmc from a device purchased from Russia ... probably the update program will downloads the russian updates afterwards (if you reflash the whole memory).

Let me ask you this, and @famewolf feel free to chime in.
Do you think the mobile upgrade app keys off the device model in the build.prop? Like changing it to a 6039k might work? I believe thats a 16mb single sim from europe

Probably I don't know how popular is 6039 in Russia ... but 4pda is great place to find such things
There is no such file in /system/

Probably no. Considering the fact that the request to their servers in order to check for updates contains the serial number, IMEI, the version of the kernel and of the firmware. I think that all these things matter.
Edit: OK, the serial number is not included in the request ... this is my previous check for updates
Code:
curl -A 'com.tcl.fota/5.1.0.2.0029.0 , Android' -v 'http://g2master-cn-north.tctmobile.com/check.php?id=<MY IMEI was HERE>&curef=6039Y-2AMPBG7&fv=1AB2CM20&mode=2&type=Firmware&cltp=10&cktp=2&rtd=1&chnl=2'

Same answer as @petrov.0 but different reasons. The mobile Q software is designed to fix a totally bricked phone...it's not looking at anything on system...while connected in download mode it can poll the hardware directly to identify what the device is and then pull the appropriate images to flash directly to the partitions.
I'll add further I'm unaware of anyone on the forum indicating their model in either 6039 or 6049 having russian language as an option.
and @famewolf
I was afraid of that. I've shot a mail to alcatel, asking for support and full images for us XDA users. Worth a shot as I'd love to see them support development..
Generally there are usually numerous language support in most roms. So there has to be a way to activate it. I've tried looking for "default.xml" which is another place, but no such luck.
Almost done reflashing via upgrade app

Please keep us in the loop on what you find. I recall another user wanting Polish as a language choice also.

Will do. Just got my 6045i this afternoon also. But english is ok on that one. Only hoping both of these hook up on the russian network. Should though, as the frequencies seem compatible.
On the 6039s, I noticed after running the pc upgrade app, the System/Csc/language.xml is no longer there. Must have been only on the original OS.
I can compile on Linux back in Moscow, but won't be home for another month. I'm gonna guess fremework.res and systemUI may be the culprit

Well, Alcatel support confirmed that each build is separate for region. So looks like some decompiling is going to be in order soon.
Found frameworkres but seems the newer OS doesn't have systemui.apk ?

Well I can confirm on my device there is no systemui.apk in /system/app. If you meant elsewhere you'd have to tell me where.

Well, it seems 5.0.2 is a different ball game than I've done in the past. A lot of system files I'm used to are just not there.
Now, if you dial *#0007# it will switch most of the UI to Russian, with the exception of Settings and a few other places and apps. (Thanks 4PDa Decker). It shows up in language and keyboard settings, but vanishes when you go back to English, so it appears language support is indeed compiled to a certain extent.
I would guess *#0008# or some other value might change the language to something else. I've played with a couple of apps from the play store, but they do the exact thing. So the dialer option is the better option.
Will still mess around and probably decompile some apks. Might get lucky.

Thanks for the info on the star codes! Can you please tell me how many languages show up as options in your rom by default? Is it six of them and the 007 code shows the next?

Here's what it does,
Dial *#0007# and the system changes to Russian (about 75% give or take some apps). When you go to Settings/Language and Input, you see Russian as the set language. If you select English for example, it changes back to English and you have to dial *#0007# to change to Russian again. It never really perma-shows in the list along with the usual 5 or 6 languages. Kinda strange.
But it looks like most if the important things change languages, dialer, etc. I'm without a Sim here until I get back to Moscow next month, so I can't really check how the messaging works, and with a little over a month left, I'm not going to sign up for a service from ATT or TMobile.
EDIT:Whatever file controls language, it is located in System/Vendor/Overlay according to 4Pda. They are just copying the overlay folder from a 6039y I believe, into the US bought phones. I suppose they will have to partition the memory? Seeing as the single sim S varient has 16gb, whereas the Y varient has only 8gb. I wouldn't know why they should have to as they are not messing with partitions.
I'm guessing about 5 related. Settings, system, systemUI. They're all in there.

so for russian language change there is a post on 4pda.
its simple. the language packs are stored in /system/vendor/overlay/ there are system apks which contains only settings and alnguage xml files. So to add Russian language is about to replace the system/vendor/overlay folder of your 6039x with same model with russian language. I did this on my 6045Y model. I have i806 (TCL variant of 6045) firmwar eand just replaced the folders and in settings now i have the languages that i had on my stock 6045Y firmware.
here is the link to the 4pda. That way the Alcatel differences the language regions, they dont have to recompile all system apk´s just the small overlay apks.
if you want to make a backup this will help:
Code:
adb pull /system/vendor/overlay c:\overlay
you find the language apk's in c:\overlay
here is my backup
