hi i have installed wm6.5 but i want to change the contacts right column letters (i am not talking about the keyboard) from english to greek because my contacts are in greek is there any way to achieve that thanks in advance for your answers

i think the best u can do is installing iContact is far superior to the manager that u r using right now and has a greek translation.

thanks for your answer but i would prefer doing it without adding any programs any other ideas?

AFAIK, its impossible without installing anything because there is no setting to change that. i might be wrong though...

[PATCH] Italian, French (AZERTY), Greek and Portuguese layout for physical keyboard

Hello guys, as described in the title, i've reworked the generic.kcm file to give an italian, french and greek generic layout for the keyboard.
Ampinto has ported the portuguese layout, so a big thank to him for his work
It's not 100% perfect, but work pretty good, tested on 3.1 acer rom, taboonay mod V.1.0.4.
I would say a big Thank to Salleq that was first to modify Generic.kcm for his language.
That need root access
the installation it's really simple:
1. With a root explorer, go into /system/usr/keychars
2. Make a backup copy of the file Generic.kcm
3. copy the new Generic_(language).kcm.txt into the mentioned directory
4. Rename Generic_(language).kcm.txt into Generic.kcm
5. Fix permission read / all, write / proprietary, exec / none.
! IMPORTANT !
I'm not responsible for any damage or problem occurred to your device!
I hope that will be usefull for someone
Update: fixed accented letters, download again the file to get the update
Update-2: Added initial release of french (AZERTY) layout, must be tested, i haven't an azerty keyboard...
Update-3: Updated french layout, download again to get update. Fixed two wrong keys on french layout, please, report if find wrong or missed keys.
Update-4: First release of greek layout, must be tested for fix wrong keys, i haven't a greek keyboard, so, please report me any problem and it will be fixed.

I would be gratefull if someone try the french and greek layout and report me a feedback for fix it!

No problem, i would be pleased
If can be useful i can create the cwn script.
In the next days (when i'll find a bit of time) i'll try to fix the accented letters.
P.S. If someone want his keyboard layout, can ask for the release

Attachment to the first post updated: fixed some wrong symbol and accented letters. Download again & replace!

First post updated for all friends from france
Hope that will be usefull ^^

It probably will ;-)
Thanks.

I've updated the french layout and fixed two wrong keys on that, see first post.

Ciao Rhys! Do you think you could do a greek layout too? You can have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Greek for the letter map.
Thanks!

i've already see the greek layout, now, i have not time, but tomorrow i'll do the porting

Thanks for that, you are quick! I can't try the greek one immediately, as I am away from my desktop, but I will as soon as I can.

It would give you a lot of work to implement a Portuguese keyboard?
Many users would appreciate.
Thanks a lot.

As an example, in "GO Keyboard" there is special button to switch between...

I tested the french one and my physical keyboard is still in QWERTY instead of AZERTY.
I tried to replace several times the file but, same issue.

Thanks for the report, now i'm going to see the logcat to find the error!
Soon the update

Aurora ICS keyboard languages, spelling and prediction.

It looks like the keyboard doesn't have a dictionary yet, and there are only a few languages on the spellind menu, and they don't appear to be working.
Is it just me or this is normal and dictionaries are missing?
The words that come up are very few and very different from this video here, for example: youtube watch?v=48RRFvWpsss (cant post links yet LOL)
Is there a way I can install dictionaries or should I just use another keyboard?

still there is no dictionary able in code when every dzo get the code he must put in rom
we need to wait
thanks for dzo great work

Try Smart Keyboard )
it's awesome and better

It works, just replace the files in system/app (I did it even before installing the ROM, in the zip file). Note, thought, it doesn't have some languages, like portuguese...

[Q] Android 4.2.2 stock keyboard dictionary problem

Hi guys,
I have the same issue on every 4.2.2 ROM I tried. I'd like to check out the new swiping JB keyboard, but I can't get the Polish optional dictionary to work. Have you tried any downloadable language and succeeded? It says it's downloaded, but when typing the dictionary is empty (only contact names) and swiping doesn't work.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions - thanks in advance.

I use SwiftKey but this should work for you as well. Go to System / Settings / Language & Input and find the keyboard you are using (may have scroll to see it) To the tight of the name tap the icon for preferences. Sample in the keyboard's preferences you should be able to find languages. Change it.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Yes, I did it. Changing it doesn't make it work in writing. Only contact names still- that's the problem.

Sorry, don't know this one. Have you tried any keyboards other than stock?

You're not alone! It is a real bug affecting lots! For me the issue is that all the APKs I find are all like this! I'm writing a more informative text which I will finish and post tomorrow hopefully. In the meantime, could someone extract a version of android keyboard where it's working and post it?

[Q] I lost my hebrew

Hi everyone,
I have a big problem, i don't know what happened, but suddenly the hebrew disapeared from my samsung keyboard. As usual, when I want to input hebrew text, i swype the space bar to switch to hebrew. And two days ago i had lost my hebrew keyboard and all was left was english(US) and french.
So I checked out the languages in the parameters. I still have the hebrew in the menu languages, as well as in the speech recognition from google, but it has disapeared from the input list of the samsung keyboard. actually I found it back in the trash of this list. So thinking I could restore it by downloading it again from the server if it was really deleted I emptied the trash, sadly nothing happened, no new language to download when updating from the server.
Has anyone got a clue ?
I guess hebrew is flagged as deleted somewhere in the parameter files, so it is no longer proposed to download.
Btw, my phone is a Galaxy S4, of course, GT-I9505 JDQ39.I9505XXUBMEA Android 4.2.2 rooted.
Thnks in advance to anyone who might help.

Hi again
So it doesn't ring any bell to any one ?
I can't believe it...

You might get help in the i9505 section of the forum instead of the i337 section for AT&T version of S4.

Ok so I did open a thread there.... but no one seem to have any idea how this stuff works, and that's quite amazing.... there must be another way than a hard reset, don't you think ?

Download an other keyboard and check maybe there you can change the language.

and it seems you're the only one who dares (or cares)...

Ok
All what I can think about is the hard way
Download and flash your rom again, but remember back up your files & media.

Cause sincerely I didn't find the files i'm supposed to ZIP and reinstall to save and backup the app as explained on this forum...

For the record

So thank's to Samsung hotline, I wasted 2 hours resetting the phone, and reinstalling the whole stuff....
So I lost my SMS (OK I AM STUPID i forgot to backup), i had to reconfigure everything, but still no hebrew keyboard....)
Samsung Hotline is useless....
we'll see with a new ROM, bsd.

Ok when you have the samsung keyboard open, press the gear icon button thingy.
That will bring you to settings > samsung keyboard settings.
Scroll all the way down to "Reset settings" and press that.
Then scroll back up to the select input languages, press that and it'll have a popup and that'll ask you if you want to download new langs now, do that.
Scroll down and you'll see one like עִבְרִית, select that and it'll download that and then you can select the downloaded langs on the top of that screen.
And then it'll work when you swipe the space bar.
My region is ttt, I'm not sure what your phone's is.
You phone's rom region may not have that selection anymore ^^, just something to keep in mind.
If this doesn't work after a fresh rom install or something then I would go find a diff region to flash.
I'm not even sure how to change the csc anymore though on 4.4.2, my script doesn't work anymore for that and most of the phone codes don't work either so I can't check it.
I kinda suspect the nb3 rom, ttt region isn't actually ttt but whatever lol.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter though.
The link one-option posted above is where I get my roms from and so does most everyone else that does manual updates.
What does עִבְרִית mean anyways?
Curious.
