I purchased a Nokia 6 recently and noticed it doesn't support Korean. The default language is English but I need Korean keyboard for messaging or searching. Can anyone guide me how to add an unsupported language to the keyboard?

Google has a separate keyboard for Korean - you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.korean
Actually, the you can even switch the interface to Korean as well, but it requires a bit of command-line knowledge. My Nokia 6 is in Korean now:
could you explain how you changed the language with a bit of command line knowledge? much appreciated!!!

No problem. First, you need to download an app to change your language. There are lots of them on the Play Store - the one I use is MoreLocale: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
Since normal apps are not allowed to change language on Android, you have to grant them a special permission.
First, enable USB debugging on your phone. Assuming you're on Oreo, go to Settings > System > Phone information and quickly tap on Build number until a message that says "Congratulations, you are now a developer" appears. Then go to Settings > System > Developer options and turn on USB debugging.
Second, install ADB on your computer by following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Next, connect your phone with your computer. Open a command prompt window from where you installed ADB, then type this command: adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
Finally, open the app and tap on your preferred language. If it's not in the list, tap the three-dot button and choose Add locale.
This change sticks even after reboots and updates so you can delete the app. However, don't delete the added language from the language list in Settings or you'll have to add it again.

Not sure if this has already been covered in the forum, but if not, here's how you do it:
Full instructions are in German here: http://www.mobiflip.de/2009/08/orig...e-root-auf-dem-magic-installieren-und-nutzen/
Quick and dirty translation (links for apps/files in the original link above):
1. Install eoeAppInstaller or ATRO file manager (I already had the latter so that's what I used)
2. Copy HTC_IME.apk to your sd card
3. go to menu, settings, applications, and check the box to allow unknown sources
4. Launch eoeAppInstaller or ATRO file manager, go to HTC_IME.apk, click it and select install
5. When it's done, exit and restart the phone
6. Go to menu, settings, locale and text, you'll see a new option called touch input. Select the check mark and go into touch input options to specify preferences. Don't mess with the calibration option as this doesn't work on the magic (I tried, it just force closes)
7. To activate the keyboard, go anywhere where you need it, e.g. start an sms, then click and hold the text box, select input method, select touch input (you can change back anytime in the same way) and that's it!
Enjoy.

Hi all,
I have found the following instruction all over the net:
Instructions:
1. First you need to roll back to the Nodo update.
2. Once in Nodo you are free to edit your phone’s registry values. Go to the registry editor.
3. Now, in the “Key” field enter this path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available
4. Then, set the “Name” field to the number of your desired language as provided in the list below.
5. The “value type” should be left as it is, and enter the name of your chosen language in the “Value” field.
6. Lastly, now you can upgrade back to Mango.
The Hack should work with every language as some reported that they have successfully hits Japanese and some other languages in their WP7 devices. So it is not too risky to try right? You can check the language number below, enjoy.

However this instruction does not work on any of my WP7 devices (no matter what version OS i run either). Since all of the instructions i found are underpinned with 'should work with any language' i would like to know if anyone actually has been able to get this thing to work.
In my case i am trying to change the 'display language' to Dutch.
How to change FN(ALT) + key symbols, add them and even change everything on the qwerty -keyboard:
Works at least on Cyanogenmod 10 with android 4.2.2
Hi!
Today I ran into a problem. There were no < and > symbols in my phone (except virtual keyboard) and I needed them. I couldn't find any good guide how to change physical keyboard mappings so that I could use FN + button combo to get those symbols. I only found one guide, but it didn't work for me, old version perhaps? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945921)
This is the way I found, and it's quite simple!
Quick guide:
1) Connect phone with usb and usb debugging on.
2) Find your keyboard layout name from settings -> language & input -> physical keyboard -> selected layout (for example: "vision-keypad-nor")
3 )Filename is layout + ".kcm" -> so in this example "vision-keypad-nor.kcm"
4) Go to command line and:
Code:
adb pull system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-nor.kcm c:\vision-keypad-nor.kcm
5) Open file c:\vision-keypad-nor.kcm in notepad or other program
6) Find the key uou want to edit, for example A:
Code:
key A {
label:'A'
base:'a'
shift, capslock:'A'
alt: '#'
shift+alt:'#'
}
7) Lets edit that so we get "<" -symbol when pressing FN+A:
Code:
key A {
label:'A'
base:'a'
shift, capslock:'A'
alt: '\u003C'
shift+alt:\u003C'
}
Note: \u003C is unicode for "<". Find more unicodes: http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-character-map-files.html -> Input -> Key character map files
8) Save the file
9) Send the file back to the phone:
Code:
adb push c:\vision-keypad-nor.kcm /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-nor.kcm
10) Reboot phone and try pushing FN+A: If you get "<" everything went fine
Im new to this, so please tell me if somethings is wrong with this guide!
Update 28.10.2013 : Updated guide to be more clear.
Oh, sorry... I don't read your guid carefully first time. It's about an 4.x OS :-[
Now i do have one question... because ADB nor USB is not possible for me would this be possible using a root file explorer or no? I will try once I find the time and figure out how to get the www. and .com key back just may be a day or 2 before i can try.
By the way nice find
Been looking for a tutorial like this so that I can finally make better use of a few of the keys on my keyboard. Thanks a lot for the break down.
T.
NICE
Thanks soo much. Now lets make use of our hardware-keybs
Next step would be to assign scripts instead of single charakter
Imagine how many root-scripts we could execute with this as base for the hotkeys
Anyone have any luck getting the www. .com button to work like stock? Right now I have it as TAB.

Are that something similar to ASCII codes?
can I add a new language with this trick?
Can Anyone knows how to add second language to physical keyboard? We aready have a key to SW between 2 language but it's only work for English Lang.
nice guide! i need to make russian h\w keyboard, can someone help me with this?
Thank you all, hope that helped you
I think if you want to create a russian keyboard, you just edit that file and put the unicode -code of the russian character to every single button or so on? Not sure though.
SmIzUrF: I think you can edit that file with some root File Explorer on the phone. Just navigate to that folder and file.
I updated the guide so it is more clear
combination with hw quicksettings launcher
is it possible to combine it with HW quicksetting launcher by suzuna apps?
however they utilize hw key search button, do anyone know the ascii of hardware key search button? is it possible to map the search function into the other physical key?
thanks.
Is this guide still relevant with later roms? Some ICS or JB roms dont use the Nordic keymap and it would be useful to replace that.
Great guide! I will definitely use it!
Thanks.
wow!! thanks so much, I am running phoenixOS on my laptop and its keyboard is in German qwerty layout (strange right? - qwerty and not qwertz) but i needed the keys to be mapped according to the keyboard lettering. I am certainly gonna try this out!!
Hi,
I have a Zuk Edge with grossoshop rom installed. There is a french translation in this rom but it isnt good, and worse it has a lot of bad bugs: screen recording function unfindable, bug when we press the "recently used apps"... Its really a mess.
So i have to get back to english. Not a problem itself if the system is english.
But i would like the play store and all the apps i download to be in french. I saw there is some apps to do this, by changing the "locale region" of my phone:
- MoreLocale2
- Locale & Language
- Change Locale
I'am rooted, so even if im on Android 7, it should be working.
But even if i swtich, the app i download are in english, and if there is not an option to change the language IN the app, i can't do anything.
I think the change which is made is not really made cause i saw that if i restart the "locale region" is automtically reverted to United States.
What can I do ?
Thank you in advance
Jul
up !
News : now that im back to a Stock ROM, a "relocked" bootloader, the situation is a little bit different.
With the app "Locale & Language", after i did an "adb command" the app prompted me to do, it's working. If i put "french", then all the apps are "localized" in france and are in french language.
The ONLY problem remaining is that if the phone reboot, it automatically revert into "English" again. how can i do to make it permanent, even throught a reboot?

With nougat it's never permanent, you have to change the language everytime you restart the phone
I have the same issue on a nokia 6 ta-1000, only english on reboot. Maybe some apps could change the language on reboot. I have Xposed and root installed.
Edit I have found that using a special app to change language and add a second language like English keeps the first language available. So when I reboot I still have French locale on the phone.
Whenever I attempt to change the language in Settings my FireHD10 kicks me back to the Settings screen. I remember it did that when I went to Parental Controls and I needed to pm enable it from [email protected]:/ # prompt in adb when I needed it after running the debloat script.
Does anyone know the right package to enable the ability to change languages?
Thanks, synchron50.
