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
LIA_IME_Swype_3_9_10_10_5032_0.cab
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

did you really installed the version I mentioned above? because for me it works
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 ...
Hello, does anyone know what Gapps to install on iconiaN 2.6 to get any other language then the default supported languages on this rom? The rom is great but I really would like to have Dutch language support for speech and autocorrect.
Hm. Doesn't iconiaN support the Dutch language?
Concerning the Gapps (Google apps), you might want to try this app. It will "notify" all the apps to show in your native language. All of the Google apps support every language there is.

Nope, it only seems to support GB, US, DE, ES & FR I tried the DE and the US but i cannot select dutch language.
Well that sucks. Am working on a (multi)language pack right now.
Done.
Edit : This won't work. I still didn't test it so you're free to try, but I can't seem to open the apks.. Am going to work on a solution some time.
Download the RAR file at:
http://www71.zippyshare.com/v/49759785/file.html
Please run _runme.bat with Administrator rights (just to make sure).
There's an option to make a backup (which is done automatically with option 1) and another option to restore everything.
I have not properly tested this, but it should work.
Watch whichever number you're inputting. It'll instantly do whatever number you typed.
There's a slight change your tablet will crash after replacing the framework. It's no biggie. Rebooting should fix that. Then manually choose option 7.
PM me for any bugs and please report status
Hey Omni users & dev
I flashed yesterday omnirom version 08.03.14
the rom is great but I can not answer phone while my phone is ON (meanning in running APP or just ON, youtube etc)
after flashing again and againg with gapps and without gapps, I get this conclusion:
1. when the system language is Hebrew, and somone calles you, the user can not answer the phone (if it is ON), since the answer \ decline button displayed only white blank . (Only whit square appeared, no caller name or answer decline button)
2. After changing system language to english the user can answer the phone (the button appeared as expected + caller name)
please can you fix this problem that user with RTL language can use this ROM with native language
regards

the original system screen is setup right but buggy and cant go with it anymore , anyone can help me ???
i need a light and bugless rom ( i choose http://www.mtkroms.com/2015/05/lolli...72-kitkat.html )
and if cant be worked , can anyone tell me how to repair and re-install my stock rom ( some apps not installed/working successfully) and remove from my stock rom unnecessary files/apps (like google+ ,Samsung apps , google maps, .... etc) and just let the critical apps can be remain in stock rom to made my rom light and smooth????
any links and info will be helpful for me , i will be grateful for u
thx
To 'flip' your screen, get root explorer or other file manager with root, go to root/system/buildprop and look for the line: ro.sf.hwrotation=0 and change it to: ro.sf.hwrotation=180 then save and reboot.
OR before you flash the rom, unzip it, open system folder, open build.prop in notepad++ and find that line and change it. Save that, zip the rom back up and flash that.
To get a good rom go here: http://the-daffi.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/CUstom rom is in Indonesian but find a 6572 rom and the download links are obvious. Then unzip the rom, copy YOUR boot.img from a working rom/stock rom/rom you are using now and paste into the new rom overwriting the boot.img already there. The zip that rom up and flash that to check it works OK. If it does, port the rom fully, instructions here: http://computerplusandroid.blogspot.com/2015/09/mtk-porting-guide-for-jellybean-same-soc.html
For stock roms, go here: http://www.needrom.com and search for your phone, register then download.
