Hi
My mom has a new Samsung Galaxy S5 phone bought from Amazon. It came unlocked with the ATT ROM.
The problem is that it comes with a handful of languages none of which is Russian which is what she needs.
So now i am trying to add Russian as an additional system language.
There are a number of apps that claim to do that - MoreLocale2, MoreLangs and Locale & Language to name a few.
For non-rooted phones all require to grant them CHANGE_CONFIGURATION permission through adb.
All also work in the same partial way - some of the menus change to Russian but most don't.
At this point i started considering installing another stock ROM that natively supports more languages but since i never did it, i'm afraid to try that without being sure how to find the correct ROM and that this is indeed the correct step. Needless to say, my mother will not do anything to update the OS so i want something that supports automatic updates.
So my questions are:
1. Is it possible to add another system language in the existing ROM? so it will truly replace everything. If so - what is it?
2. If not - what (extremely preferable stock) ROM should I install?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Phone details:
Device model: SAMSUNG-SM-900A
Android: 5.0
Baseband: G900AUCU4BOF3
Kernel: 3.4.0-4432708
Build Number: LRX21T.G900AUCU4BOF3
There are also more details re "SE for Android", MDF and KNOX versions
I can post them if they are needed

Hi everyone!
I'm new here, looks like a great place. I'm not a programer but a techy. I need a little advice. I hope you dont mind helping.
I bought a phone in China that I need to convert to an english version but I'm very confused as to exactly how to do this (steps) and which files are best to use.
I think the phone is the same as a Milestone 2, it is model ME722 which has chinese OS 2.6.0.me722.chinaretail.en.cn / android version 2.2.2 / kernel version 2.6.32.9-g2bc8abf.
I work in china and US but cant read chinese. Right now I use a chinese SD card when in China and a US SD card when in US. After looking around I see some people have used a UK rom file but I have no idea of the steps or if this is the best file to use to do this. Will this convert the OS to english with updated english apps pre installed? What is the model number of the UK phone and might a manual be available some place for it that is in english.
This is my first droid and it apears that unless I use Motoblur I dont have some functions like email and ability to search and download apps. I would prfer to not have Motoblur and want just a open access phone. I would like to have Google play apps such as translat, that would be helpful.
Any help that you can give would be very apreceated.
Thanks, Bill
Hello everyone! I bought the M811 device of China Mobile. It is running on Android 4.3. Most of the Google apps are not working and even if you put the language on English, still lots of information is still in Chinese, which I do not understand. Therefore, I want to put another Android operating system on it, preferably Android 4.4 KitKat. I am not familiar with this at all, can someone help me?
4G
I have the same phone with the same problems as yours, also even if i have the "Network Mode 4G/3G/2G(Auto)" i can't get 4G and my friends next to me with other phones they can. So, is this 4G fake or what?
Also i made it to root it but i can't found any compatible custom rom.

I do currently have this device in my hand.
You can try rooting it and then you should be able to install gapps.
As no source code is released by CMCC(or at least I can't simply find it), upgrading to another version of Android requires a lot of work - possible in theoretic and possibly only possible in theoretic.
could someone please point me to a place that shows me how to root this phone

hello sir

Hello All,
Long time lurker but finally I have not been able to find a solution to my problem.
I made the mistake of purchasing a Y511-T00 on a recent trip to china after quickly reading the box which said WCDMA. There was a sticker on the side however that said TD-SCDMA. Anyway finally home I realise no 3G. Which I can live with 90% of my time online is via wifi and mobile wifi device.
The issue has come now where I need to get a better ROM for the phone. I have some half baked english rom that is laggy and does not save credentials for facebook etc. In fact I am at a point where I would not mind getting the Huawei stock with emotion UI. The details of the phone are as follows
Model Number : HUAWEI Y511-T00 (China Mobile)
Android version : 4.2.2
Baseband version MOLY.WR8.W1319.MD.TG.MP.V4.P18 , 2013/07/31 15:37
Kernel Version 3.4.5
Build Number : Y511-U30V100R001C328B120
Hardware version : VER.A
If anyone can assist with a guide on how to change the rom and maybe confirm if i can use the y511-u00 roms as I need something in english I would greatly appreciate it. Also any directions to a forum for support for this phone with other users in English would be great
Thanks so much
Hi,
Sorry, but I don't find anything related to your device, so you must post this question in general Q&A forum from here:

Good luck
Thread closed and completed. Thank You.
Hello,
To start with, I'm new to Android. I work in IT and have always been a windows/linux desktop user with combination of Windows phone/maemo/IoS for mobiles.
Basically my Nannu has handed me a tablet he picked up cheap and wants me to set it up. All seems to be running ok, set up a gmail account, checked wifi/camera etc are working. Then noticed that when launching the browser it defaults to google.com.hk. If I change the homepage in the browsers settings it reverts everytime I exit the app and relaunch.
Also little problems such as signing into skype fails, despite correct credentials and if i select the "trouble signing in" option I'm taking to a chinese version of skype website.
I've reset to factory defaults but this doesn't make a difference.
So I'm looking to flash the device with a ROM as suspect one currently loaded is custom Chinese ROM.
I've rooted the device and was looking at Shuame to flash it but unfortunately my Chinese is a little rusty/non-existent.
I thought maybe I could remove the default browser using Kinguser but it won't allow me to remove as its a system component.
There is no model info on the exterior of the tablet. Here is from the "about tablet" section in settings:
Processor: DualCore -A23
Model Number: TY_Q8H
Android Version: 4.2.2
Firmware Version: v2.0.8
Kernel Version: 3.4.9 [email protected] #365
Build Number: TY_POLARIS_ENG 4.2.2 JDQ39 20140528 test-keys
If anyone can advise or point me in the right direction for where I can find a ROM and a good tool to use to apply this I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi. I'm using an X-TIGI_JOY10 tablet. My android version is 5.1 and the tablet does not have an update android software option. I have checked the list of ROMs available but I do not have X-TIGI JOY10 as an option, but I want to experience the newer android versions. I would be very pleased if you added up ROMs that could support my device, looking at its specifications. Either I have X-TIGI's own or any other which is tailored to match my device's specs.
You can reply with the link(s) so that i can get them easily. THANK YOU.

I also have this device unfortunately I haven't been able to find any updates. But there is currently a rom in the manufacturer's website it's bundled with Baidu software which is in Chinese. If you manage to download I would be glad to know the details
