Hello,
after flashing french rom on my At&t Atrix (without success for the webtop), I saw an item (in keyboard menu of android) that doesn't exist on the At&t Rom :
webtop keyboard, with the possibility to choose the webtop keyboard (qwerty, azerty and others...)
I don't know if a dev can have a look to build a patch or something like that to port that menu from the french rom to the At&t but it will be great and i think a lot of people (those early "international" adopters who bought the at&t version) will be interessed.
thanks in advance
guess, noone here can do that, its all about finding the right apks that go with what ld (library) files, a few devs can do that ofcourse, but will they do and is that worth spending time and day? just not possible
It may be a setting in a .prop and some apks and librairies.
For exemple, i have checked that the latinIME.apk is x4 in size on a french Atrix

Hi,
It's great to see the Nexus is already been rooted; great job!!! Would it be possible for you master chefs to bake in some more languages, especially Dutch? Don't really care about the system language, but it would come in handy with the onscreen keyboard...
The Nexus currently support very little languages en More Locale doesn't seem to work for me...
Search the forums.
1 - If only keaboard - install HTC_IME and adb shell -> edit /data/data/htc.ime.android.htcime/shared_prefs/com.* and change number of keyboard to dutch (search for correct, 9=swedish)
2 - Install More Locale
- Install morelocale 2
- Install better keyboard
- install language pack for better keyboard
- set language to dutch in morelocale
- Enable better keyboard in setting
- Use long press in text input field to switch to better keyboard keyboard
- Enjoy dutch corrector
Werkt prima
The HTC_IME doesn't seem to be working for me (I didn't on my G1 as well), but better keyboard does the job!
Would it be possible in future ROM's to include additional languages or is a official release in Dutch needed?
I thinking on importing the Nexus One from US to The Netherlands soon. This because our provider "Vodafone" does not mention a definitive release date... only that they will release the nexus one "later this year".
By importing the Nexus One I hope that I can change the language of T9 of the keyboard to dutch so it suggests dutch words. Is this possible? Are the dutch language files already baked into the Nexus One stock ROM?
What do you guys suggest me to do? Wait for official release or import it from US and install additional language (if required)?
Thanks!

Flash it with the Cyanogen ROM (or another based on the AOSP) then that includes dutch (& many more).
Original ROM only supports english en some other ones but no dutch
How to get Dutch is explained in different thread
See thread 624416 (sorry, can't post links)
Hi, I am very new to the whole android scene especially since I just got my android hero this weekend. My question is that my dad has an android and english isnt his best language so I was curious if there was a chinese android 1.5 for Sprint Hero? I seen some pictures of it.
thank you.

not sure if sprint has muti-languages on there device.But check under settings> locale and text > select locale. And see if there's any other languages to choose.
When I was messing around with PNG files from the new Pancake ROM, I DID find a Phone apk that has Chinese symbols on it. I'm not sure at all though how you could enable that.
You can install MoreLocale, then select chinese as your UI language.
But there is a serious problem in sprint factory rom that it can not send unicode SMS corretly. The receiver will see messy code when u send chinese SMS.
This problem exists in all of Android 1.5 roms on XDA forum, and it is resolved in all of Android 2.1 roms. As u know, 2.1 roms are still in test.
Luckly, there is worked 1.5 rom in the world. This issue is resolved by chinese developer.
You can download worked 1.5 rom from www .diypda .com /forumdisplay.php?fid=237

I'm not sure about the stock ROM but in the 2.0 AOSP ROM I'm running right now I can easily change languages and there are two Chinese options (I'm assuming one is traditional and the other is simplified.)
Menu > Settings > Language & Keyboard.
Might be worth upgrading your dad to a 1.6 AOSP ROM for at least. (I suggest 1.6 since everything, pretty much, works in those ROMs.)

Does 1.6 have chinese support? Also if the rom2.0 has chinese does this mean the upcoming 2.1 patch from sprint will have chinese or they'll try to condense the size and put only english/spanish again.
楼主可以下载一个叫custom local的程序来更改Hero的语言。当然，是不完全汉化，但是日常应用肯定没有问题。这个程序可以在baidu和其他Android论坛搜到。
Op could download one apk named customlocal to change the display language. It doesn't change all the menu to Chinese. But it could be used daily. You could download this apk through baidu or the other Chinese andriod forum.
First of all, I apologise for posting here instead of in the development forums, because I can't post there (reason being my post count < 10).
I've just installed my first ever custom android rom 2 weeks back using SUnAaBh v1.1, and I'm loving it well over the stock 2.1. Thank you!
I did find the chinese handwriting input missing, and after some poking around, I manage to get it working. Thought I would share it here.
Everything required is already in the rom, except for just a missing line in /system/customize/CID/default.xml
Code:
<function name="IME_sip_set">
<set name="single">
<item name="total_list">Handwriting;ZuhYin;CangJie;PinYin;Stroke;</item>
---> <item type="boolean" name="Handwriting">yes</item> <-- This line is missing
<item type="boolean" name="ZuhYin">yes</item>
Attached is a zip file which I created to patch the rom. Unfortunately, even though the file was updated correctly to the system, it didn't show the handwriting input. I wiped the cache/data/dalvik and ended up in a boot loop. So finally I repackaged the rom with this patch and reflash my phone, and voila, I get chinese handwriting, with its associated options, all working fine so far.
So if you're reading this, warriorvibhu, I hope you can consider adding this small patch to your rom, since 1) its a bit of work to repackage a rom to enable this feature (for those who needs it), and 2) for the vast majority of users who don't need it, it can be turned off in the settings, alongside the many preselected international keyboards that are enabled by default.
Alternatively, if anyone have a clue how to enable it via a zip patch, that would be cool as well.
On an unrelated note, I've extracted the boot animation from the latest wildpuzzle rom (the one with the PC bios POST animation) to a standalone zip patch. Its similar to the commodore 64 boot animation in Theme 2 (of SUnAaBh's thread), but I personally like this better. Are there any rules prohibiting me from sharing it here (assuming somebody else would like to have it as well)?

Hello loonychewy,
I have taken a look at your default.xml and found that there's NO such a line as
<item type="boolean" name="Chinese">yes</item>.
So it still showed up for picking on Input Language with only the content inside the <function name="IME_sip_set"> tag?
I'm trying out Stock+Sense Hybrid V5 and there's no option for Chinese Input. Although the IME_sip_set has already been presented in the file with all the right options shown, including Handwriting, these options are still missing from the menu.
Is default.xml the only file governing the (input) language selection? Do you have any idea?
Handwriting just ROCKS for folks using Chinese and I really long for it.

Hi TheEKey,
Kindly note that the missing line should be <item type="boolean" name="Handwriting">yes</item> instead of name="Chinese".
Honestly, I don't know much about how it all actually works. But from reading the various forums, it seems more complex than just this default.xml. My best guess is that the tag <item name="total_list"> only specifies the expected valid tags to follow, and only the presence of the following <item type="boolean" name="Handwriting/ZuhYin/CangJie/..."> tags determines whether the input option is available to the user. So for my case, adding the tag for <item name="Handwriting"> makes handwriting input available (and I know that my copy of HTC_IME.apk in the rom supports handwriting). And I guess the yes/no values specifies whether the input option is enabled by default or not.
I will download Stock+Sense Hybrid V5 to have a look, and see if I can get some clues for you.
I downloaded and had a look at the Stock+Sense Hybrid V5 rom (didn't try flashing it to my phone though). The xml files are all identical to WildPuzzle's. The only thing is that HTC_IME.apk isn't included by default in the rom. You could try to get it from WildPuzzle to install (even though HewGBalls already tried it unsuccessfully http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11195690&postcount=198). If you want to try, you can add the HTC_IME.apk into the rom first before reflashing the whole rom into your phone. I had to do that before I could see the handwriting option.
(HTC_IME.apk is located in /system/app of the rom)

Thanks, loony. I think it's quite complicated indeed (especially without some official documentation).
You may have seen this but well, here it goes.

So Handwriting is a HTC thingy? Hybrid V5 is on gingerkeyboard. Don't know if this fact wipes out the possibilty of using Handwriting after all.....
Let me start with adding Handwriting tag line in the xml first

Yeah, I've read that post before. Its complicated isn't it?
I won't say handwriting is exactly a HTC thingy. Chinese handwriting is obviously only useful for the east asian markets, so device manufacturers will release their handset there with their implementation of it. Conversely, they won't include it in devices for the other markets. I have found some HTC_IME.apk shared in various forums that does not include ch handwriting mode (I decompiled them), which probably means it doesn't originate from an east asian rom. Same thing for gingerbread keyboard I suppose. Finally, the reason why some wildfire roms here have ch handwriting is because they are based on an east asian version of the stock rom, which has handwriting in its keyboard (HTC_IME.apk).
Hope you'll be successful in enabling it

I decompiled the HTC_IME from wildpuzzle rom and found that the "手寫" handwriting option was not present in the XML files of this package. It's enabled but not shown under menu tags. I guess what you say is true that it's meant to be kept hidden to those markets which don't need it
I guess I will try to pull HTC_IME from HK or CN versions of official ROM and see if I get any luck on this.
Thanks for your hints~!

I always thought ch handwriting works in wildpuzzle? If not, you can try the ime from sunaabh, because that is working on my phone

It's funny that I switched from Sunaabh to StockSense Hybrid. I was lured by the fact that it's very clean and fast.
I got 3.xx from linpack using this ROM and that's why I would like to make this work
Anyhow, I may need to consult with danne_jo, the WildPuzzle creator.
I actually got some light on it. After I decompiled the HTC_IME and found that the handwriting is hidden for most of the languages setting except zh_ch and cn_ch. The odd thing me facing right now is that right now in the international input menu, i only have english to choose......
I guess this is international english and those 4 less wanted chinese input are available though toggling the "en" button on the keyboard.
I, secondly, guess is that if I can get international languages to show either zh_ch or cn_ch, then this will be fixed....
My way around was installed an alternative launcher on wildpuzzle, sense restricts the phones customization option. Then strip out all the HTC files suggested in hybrid Rom thread and patch anything you need and indeed the system is more efficient reaching 3mflops not a problem and best of all keeps Chinese handwriting (新年快樂) intact. Ginger keyboard is installed in wildpuzzle 0.8 too if you like it.
It would great to see a widespread solution to implement easily into other roms as well when the source is found. There is a recompiled China ruu Rom in the Rom list if it helps.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I'm able to get all the different international keyboard options regardless which locale language I'm using. Quite possibly the other xml files in /system/customize/CID are responsible for restricting the input options based on current system locale, since in sunaabh, there's only default.xml, and in hybrid/wildpuzzle, there're quite a few more. The xml files in /system/customize and /system/customize/MNS may play a part too, if you compare these roms. You can try to delete these extra xml files (+possible wipe cache/data maybe <-- do backup before that, I got a boot loop and had to reflash).
This post (if you haven't already read it) doesn't really help much, but might add a bit more hints to how it works http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10216720&postcount=30
@MasterDL, so you do have handwriting when you're using another launcher, but not sense?
Yeah, I would like to try out all the various roms to compare too. If I could get pass the look of despair my wife gives me when I told her I'm flashing a rom. She just don't get it!
Well... I originally flashed wildpuzzle v0.8 it was the only Rom that had the handwriting but I find that sense was too limited so I installed adw and then stripped out the unnecessary HTC apk like the weather, sense home and providers so no more back ground htc activity apart from necessary ones like the touch input and mail dependant files. This kept the touch IME intact. But it would better if ginger keyboard international unlocked as well.
Also it somehow doesn't show the wildpuzzle label anymore in the software info just 2.2.1.

Is it possible to add another locale to the Atrix?
I would like to have a German Android experience on my phone.
Thanks
Nobody?
Would be really nice or at least to force installed apps to use the German language if possible.
What about editing the build.prop system file?
Afaik, the system locale is part of the ROM. You cannot simply edit build.prop, if the menus and labels loaded in the ROM do not include your locale. This is different for apps - those package their locales, and would convert easily.
I think you will need to wait until somebody comes out with a ROM that includes your locale of choice. And/or wait until Atrix comes out in Germany, and a recovery ROM/tool for Germany is available. (Possibly from Moto website, but I would not count on it.)
Hi all just for anyone that is interested and didn't know you can change your locale using MoreLocale2 app from market. It allows you to make your own local that is specific for you.
Hello everybody,
two days ago I found this rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906026) and installed it - successfully ... so far. The rom works much better than my previous one (tezet's CM10) and has even more options. But I can't get one thing working. It's the layout for the hardware-keyboard. I can type but online letters from a-z. Z and Y are correct positioned (as on the german keyboard) but when I press alt oder left-shift and then try to type a number or a special character, nothing happens except that two little arrows appear at top and bottom of the cursor pointing to its center.
What I tried to solve this problem:
- Changed languages at the settings-panel to german whereever I found such a setting
- Installed this layout-file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32586129&postcount=35
- Extracted, copied and overwrote all files from the folder /system/usr/keylayout off of the rom I used before where everything worked fine
Unfortunately since I'm new to this site I do not yet have privileges to post right in the thread of that rom. So I'm sorry I opened another one. I hope for sympathy and help.
Big thanks in advance,
parameta
Sorry if my answer will be of little help, but here it goes.
I understand that you cannot access any special character without Alt. Have you tried by long-pressing a button ?
Furthermore, the QWERTZ keyboard is not supported yet for AOKP for Milestone 2, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32029006&postcount=3.
The latest build of your ROM was released on 2012-10-15, but it is based on CM10 which has seen 4 builds since that date, including a really major one. I suggest you ask Megalith27 to release a new version of his ROM, based on the all-newest CM10. (Maybe I'll do that if I learn how to do it.) However I don't know whether that will solve your problem or not.
I understand this response is not so helpful, but I didn't want to leave you without any sign of life for ages.
Tschüss !

You will be able to get a qwertz keyboard in this Rom for sure.
just follow this link, and download my qwertz file. replace it as described. It will work. But replace just that one file. Not all the files as you have done!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32586129&postcount=35
So reflash the rom zip in recovery, and do it again. You will get all the olf files back, this way.
If you want to read this how to in german, please send me a pm. I will give you another link....
I'm sorry for my late reply, but here I am.
First of all, thank you for your answers.
@Agmenor:
Yes I tried long pressing and this way I get the usual small window with offers some special characters and letters. But that's not very comfortable.
I believe, if Megalith27 had to compile a new version auf this ROM that would be too much of an effort with too little use. But thank you anyway.
@lulli1
Will I be able to write letters and special characters with your linked files or will I only get a quertz layout? Typing special characters and letters without switching to the softkeyboard or long pressing buttons is one of my demands on this rom.
By the way, do I know you from android-hilfe.de? If yes, call me "MalzMalz", that's me. If not, ignore this line.
Greetings,
