Hi,
Im working on custom rom for a Android TV settop box and I need help. I have original rom from chineese manufacturer and that ROM work just fine. When I boot device for the first time its input language (on onscreen kayboard) is Hebrew. Device UI and all messages are in English language, except hebrew keyboard.
I can later change to US in Settings, but I need to make ROM which have US input language from FIRST BOOT. Where is those settings initially stored? I have all tools to unpack original ROM and I can access to all apps in /system/apps.
Does anyone knows how to change initial language input?

i have an I-mate smartflip with arabic customization installed on it. when i want to write a new message i always get the arabic language as the default input. does any body know how to set the default to english?
i tried lots of ways like changing the regional settings and others but nothing worked.
any help is appreciated.
thanks.
Hi Majdi,
have you tried to change input mode for the function you have in use at the moment pressing and keeping pressed the "*" ?
This should invoke the input method menu, where you can choose the one you prefer and the phone usually should remember this and continue to apply when needed...
This works for me on my Italian customized one...
Ciao
i did, but it doesn't remember the method with me (i have the WWE rom with arabic customization).
the issue here happened when i installed the arabic customization only, before that it does remember the last input method.
i hope there is a solution for this because i'm getting frustrated with it.
thanks for the reply though.
I currently use the erofich rom wm6.1 standard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=422605 and im trying to get the chinese installed but after i install the cab, nothing happens.
here is where i got the cab file, i tried both the t9 on the top and the one made by some other guy. unfortunately when i hold * to change the language, only russian shows. anyone know whats happening? how do i use a t9 language?
http://melgurth.ovh.org/index.php?page=downloads
after installing the right cab you als have to modify the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\T9 Input Method\MUI\Languages]
add to "Available" the correct language code. This is a 4 digit code, i don't know the right one for Chinese, but you'll be able to find it somewhere around here.
restart your device and the added language will show up when you press *
Hi there,
before t9 is available, you have to install t9 english first to enable t9 chinese ... at least for my phone ... i am using same 6.1 std rom ....
so you are saying i need to convert to t9 instead of xt9 first and then add the registry key? is it possible to just use xt9 english + t9 chinese or no? that language combo number is hard to find..
Yes, convert to t9 first:

then you can install the cab for chinese and modfy the registry
Is possible to change to spanish language ?

Hi,
Using the app, MoreLocale2, I've changed the locale of my phone to danish, so I also get a danish dictionary. However, now the entire interface of the phone is in danish.
Is it possible to keep the english interface, but get a danish dictionary? When I go to the input options, I can only choose an English dictionary. Is there some application that can do this for me?
Thanks in advance.
I too have had this problem, when wiping and installing a rom. MoreLocale2 hasn't worked perfectly for me either. I wasn't able to get an english interface with a danish dictionary. I have tried different roms, but in the end I go back to MCR 3.2 beta 5. To get the right interface settings with MCR, I first:
1. Flash the original HTC-provided rom for HTC Hero in Scandinavia (I download it from the official site)
2. I then use flashrec to flash a custom boot img. hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4525393 (replace xx with tt)
3. I download the MCR zip file to my sdcard and flash it in my custom bootloader. (Do this WITHOUT wiping. That way, you can keep your english interface with danish dictionary .
4. voila, done.
Dear all,
As I write I have a Lenovo ET960 sitting on my desk, which is lying there for the last 2 weeks as I am unable to figure out how to change its menu language from Chinese to English. My uncle who was never able to use it gave it to me after all these years. It has WM2003SE (I think!), although I am sure the experts here will know all about it. I am very keen on fixing this issue, the trouble is I am novice in this area.
I have done some background research, but I still need some help from all you guys here. I have the the following requests.
1) I understand that there is no way to change the language of this phone as the OS is hard-coded in the Chinese ROM. One way is to hack this Chinese ROM and change it to English using a HEX-editor. An alternate way would be to use a third-party software to change the language, however I could not find one for WM2003. Once I hack the ROM and make the necessary changes, I should, in principle be able to install an upgrade to WM2003 (which I also do not have with me!).
To hack the Chinese ROM in ET960 and solve this issue I would need to know two things:
(a) Where to locate the ROM in this pocket PC using my desktop PC (via a USB cable connection)?
(b) I need a reference ET960 ROM (ET980 ROM may also work!) in English to compare the values to change accordingly.
(c) Finally, an upgrade to WM2003/WM2003SE (the firmware upgrade d/l link) and the upgrade method.
Now the trouble is I have never flashed a ROM before, so I need to know the steps. In addition I would also need to know the steps to the upgrade process.
I have managed to download the following softwares/tools which I think will help in the process, but I dont want to start the process until I get some feedback from you guys here.
(1)The lenovo.zip file _ftp: / / ftp.roverbook.com / RoverPC /Lenovo_ET960/
and the (2) ET960update.exe from gsmforum.ru, which can be used as an update tool for both Lenevo ET960 and ET980. I have also managed to download the upgrade instructions, but only in Chinese!. This is where my research ends. Now I request you guys to help me with the missing links to convert my ppc into English.
Thanks,
Jay
This Thai review (use Google Chrome and translate it to English) states the following:
Languages: Support English, Simplified Chinese, Tranditional Chinese Input but can not display Traditional Chinese character.
The screenshots also show the phone is using English. It might be as simple as changing the system language in your MUI settings (in the registry: HKLM>MUI and change SysLang to 1033 Dec/0409 Hex...HKCU>MUI and change CurLang to 1033 Dec/0409 Hex).
Hi rete, Thanks for the reply. I have never edited the registry in a pda. Is there a special tool that I have to use for editing the registry? The ET960 I have with me has a interface similar to this _http:/ / video.pomoho.com/ent/762870.
As everything is in Chinese, I am unable to make head or tail of anything. Please guide me if possible. Cheers, Jay
I am getting back to my ET960 issue after a gap. I really want to make this device (which has a great design) usable, for which I will need to convert the user interface to English.
Rete, I made the registry changes you suggested but nothing changed. So I will need to to find an alternate solution.
The ET960 has WM2003SE (ROM version: S603 051229 which is not WWE). It displays all the system folders as well as some of the installed applications UIs in English. But most of it is in Chinese.
I installed an English localization software (Paragon Inc, LEng for WM6) which translated my ET960s interface completely to English. But, the ActiveSync stopped working and the system folders could not be accessed after the installation of LEng. This tells me that if I can replace the *.mui files from CHS to ENG in the ROM, I will get an English interface.
But the trouble is that I am new to all this and do not know where to start. So I request for some guidance.
The other option to make the device usable is to boot Android from a microSD card, but I could not find an Android version anywhere from my ET960 (which has similar hardware to MDA compact & Yakumo Omikron). Please advice.
