[QUESTION] Froyo and Dutch language pack - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have used several CM rom versions. Yesterday I made the move to Froyo. However, although Android is multi-language...Dutch isn't in the language settings list.
I haven't tried "locale2" from the market but I don't like that program very much (used it before I rooted my Nexus) compared to the language packs in the CM roms.
Is there an easy way to get Dutch as an option in the language settings list?

I suggest you wait for a custom rom. Im sure they will put the languages back in.

Hi, I've made my own private 2.2 ROM for the Nexus One, which is pretty much just the stock ROM with Dutch (so ~AOSP). If you're interested...

would you like to share the rom with me ?
Im using the google navigation, but have u ever heard an american women pronouncing dutch street names? Aweful!

how difficult is it to make a custom ROM?

Hi,
I am thinking of cooking my own ROM.
All I need to do is mixing two ROMs, nothing fancy.
Here is the situation I am in.
I am in Canada but I use my mother tongue a lot (most of my contacts are not in english).
So, I tried installing the Korean ROM from SKTELCOM.
However, there was a slight problem with the SMS (and possibly MMS but I don't use MMS so I am not sure) and internet/data (3G, Edge, etc, but I don't use data so I don't mind this bit - Wi-Fi is working).
The SK ROM uses a seperate application for SMS and the original MS SMS feature inside the message (where you can find your email accounts as well) is either disabled or removed.
And to use this application, I have to go through changing the formats of all contants I have.
Also, I can't use any SMS notifications that were made for the original SMS features (including the original WM notifications).
I am looking for a way to enable or istalling whatever to get the original SMS feature back.
So my question is,
Would it be possible to mix two ROMs, X1i-eng & SKTELCOM, to get basic phone features from X1i-eng and language and applications from SKTELCOM?
If so, could you help me do it?
I have read the tutorials for ROM cooking etc, but I am a little scared doing it.
If I were to go ahead and do it, should I base the SKTELCOM ROM and try to mix the phone features or should I base the ENG ROM and try to implement language and applications?
Any insights would be helpful.
Thanks.
In your situation, you probably don't need to install the Korean ROM. Since you say that you need your contacts to be displayed which are in Korean, you could just install a Korean font on a WWE(English) ROM. On top of that, if you need to be able to input Korean, you will need the appropriate IME and SIPs. There are CAB installers that will do what I've said. I would search them for you but I'm feeling a bit lazy
Thanks for the reply.
I know about the fonts..
But my main concern was the inputing part.
Where could I find IME and SIP for Korean input?
I've searched using "korean" but nothing much came up..

Hey dahanist, how's that ROM going? I'm in the same situation you are, so I'm hoping maybe you made some progress.

new x1 owner -- some issues

hello all.
i just recently bought (2 days now) a shiny new X1 and i am quite pleased with it for the most part... except for some issues
so ... some questions;
build quality is ok but it feels like a wobble when the unit is closed during tapping. is this normal? in other words the screen sort of "shifts" around in movement ... is this normal?
my rom came with arabic support (the unit has arabic fonts lettering on the keyboard) however when writing a message i cant figure out how to turn the keyboard into arabic.. only the on-screen-keyboard displays arabic.
well thats all done with cause i changed the rom and even though i backed up following the steps in the tutorial on this forum when i restored the rom the arabic applications didnt restore nor did the fonts. i dont know why...
so now i installed many roms and even though i installed Mobidev (the arabic localization) the on-screen-keyboards only display english. for example, christian's rom, the valkrye rom, and the Unoff rom. all are english however i cant figure out how to add the arabic keyboard...
any help is appreciated.
59 views and no reply?
comeon guys... ???
It's normal that it 'wobbles', there are two parts (the actual phone and the screen)attached to eachother at two points I think .. not sure why SE/htc didn't decide to fix the wobble thingy though
thanks
any ideas on how to make the hardware keyboard switch to another language ?
get the regedit program on the forums and then find the keyboard code which uses arabic as its layout then it should work.
or you can always just look for a custom arabic rom , Hard-reset + flash the rom will always do the trick too.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Non-latin languages require more work, because they need to get the IME working whereas latin charset languages just need the characters and accents. I suggest you flash an Arabic ROM to make your life easier.
The au key should be the language toggle.

arabic/hebrew language support on nexus one?

hey everyone
is it possible to have robust arabic language support on the nexus one? I've looked all over the internet and most of the potential solutions i found were not really good; like on some you would be able to read arabic script but you couldn't write in arabic, and in some you can write in arabic and semi-read arabic script (the letters wouldn't be connected). please someone help!!!
1) Cyanogen 5.0.6 fully supports Hebrew and Arabic, to the extent of Gmail app that has an incorrect Email preview, letters backwards (can't be fixed, don't look for it). Can't say for Arabic, but Hebrew was tested thoroughly, working as well as it's currently possible on the device.
2) There's fully Arabized ROM by UAE in Development section.
Did you check both of those?
i tried cyanogens rom but i think it was an earlier version (the letters wouldn't connect, making it unintelligable). do you know if UAE's rom is based off of ayman's package?
Don't know, I believe not - he'd mention it. You can check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664184
Also, give a try to the latest CM (5.0.6). Gmail preview reversing isn't a big issue.
i just installed cyanogens new rom and i must say, the new UI is very attractive, the nexus boot animation is now bleu with an android in the centre on a skateboard. the application grid is now 5 apps across instaed of 4 and i especially enjoy the transparent sliding notification bar. strangely enough theres even more system RAM available than before and the phone itself seems a bit faster and more responsive.
for the most part it does exactly what i want (in terms of reading/writing semetic script) but my god....its soo buggy!! i was stuck in an endless google account sign-in loop during initial acct setup and the browser crashes repeatedly. the system sometimes forgets to reorientate writing direction irrespective of language; it writes latin script from right to left in addition to arabic script. however arabic characters are connected.
do u know of any other arabized roms or system hacks to implement arabic language support? if not, i will probably keep cyanogens 506 rom, because the benefits of it vastly outweigh the few imperfections

samsung keyboard russian language

First of all forgive me for being an annoying noob I am, but I've been googleing this matter for 3 days with no luck.
So here is the deal: I've purchased a Chinese (I think) GTab (meaning the default locale was Chinese) here in Russia. There was no problem in switching locale to Russian, all fonts work correctly, all translations are good and so on. The problem is, Samsung keyboard doesn't have a Russian language as an option (despite having a bunch of others), and I would love to use a keyboard dock, which only agrees to work with SK. The interesting thing is, the keyboard dock does have a Russian layout, so I have to presume there is actually a way to install it to Samsung keyboard app.
Can anyone spare any advice?
The best I've managed to find so far was a similar topic for the original Tab, but it only applies to android 2.1 and 2.2 as far as I figured (I did try before assuming)
maybe you should try and contact kallt_kaffe.

[Q] Swype/slide function on I9000

Dear I9000 friends,
i've noticed that some of the slim, fast ROMs allow me to use swype/slide function on Android keyboard (or Google keyboard), so I do not need to install rather big Swype which I bought. Most of the ROMs like SlimKat or CynaAOSP allow swype function in English or German, but not in Croatian language. However, this is one of my most important functions and I am lost among of all ROMs in this forum. (BIG THANKS AND CONGRATS TO ALL DEVELOPERS FOR PUTTING A LOT OF EFFORT IN THIS WORK).
Other than this thing with swype/slide function for Croatian languange, I only want to have Maps and Whatsapp function as fast as possible and have the ROM as fast as possible that would work with these premises (couldn't care less if this is 4.4, 4.3, 4.2 or 4.1).
Could any of you good souls suggest me a FAST ROM which would allow me to use swype function in croatian languange and be fast on my Whatsapp.
After trying so many different ROMs from different developers, I am LOST in TIME and SPACE and would greatly appreciate if you could point me towards a ROM with Swype/slide function integrated and be as fast as possible. As the father of the family, I have the slowest Samsung of all ( ), but I guess it is typical for a family man. Unfortunately, I do not have so much money to invest into a new Samsung 5.
Which ROM with Swype/slide function would you recommend me? All other functions are more or less not important since I communicate mostly thorugh Whatsapp with my family and friends.
THANX for ALL/ANY of your suggestions/recommendations/critique etc.
Best regards,
Pavana
Hi there,
i'm testing many roms for my i9000 but 1st thing i do is installing the Touchpal X Keyboard from Google Play, try it out. I got the recomendation here from the Forum. It says it works for your language, too. I only tested in german and english, works perfect for me.
