you do not need to remove the stock samsung keyboard.
Download this to you pc, unzip it. Copy both files to your device.
At your device go to the folder where you copied the to files, install them both.
Go to settings -> Locale and text -> check HTC_IME mod is selected.
Now go into some application where you can write somethins, for example sms. Touch the writing filed and hold it until a menue pop´s up, touch "Input method" and now select HTC_Ime mod.
Done.

They should mod this so you can still keep the samsung keyboard

Thank you very much, very helpful

Not everyones native language is english, german or french ;-)

I don't know which ROMs you use but Swype on my phone has just about every european language you can look for.

That's just not true for my device. There is no bulgarian, no slovenian no serbian for example.
Using jg1.
Bulgaria and slovenia are even in the european union.

I love the HTC keyboard, it is so much better than the Samsung one, also I used swype for about a week and I just didn't see the big advantage but that's just my opinion.

Swype I find awful, I've given it some time but it's so restrictive especially when dealing with URLs and email address etc

I've heard that this should be better since it has the multitouch thing where you can hold one button (letter) down and still type.

I have just tested this droid keyboard and it is much better than htc becouse of multitouch support. Too bad its doesnt have my national letters included so i cant use it.

Has anyone noticed that the built-in samsung keyboard also has multi-touch? Press down a letter, and you can still type. It doesn't seem to work for Shift + a key, but it is still multi-touch

I've been using the vlingo keyboard and I like it a lot.

Yeah that's true but all other keyboards are just as bad for that so I don't see why that little inconvenience should rob you of the great experience swype gives for all other purposes.

Yes, I have noticed this... but shift+letter works for me, too!

how bout smart keyboard?

True, but it works for one letter only; so you can't press shift to type a whole word like you can on the Droid X keyboard.

[Q] Help Rooting the Brazilian SGS (GT I9000B)

Hi there, I just got a brazilian SGS the I9000B (the one with the tv receptor), and was wondering if anyone was able to root this thing.
Mine is the : GT-I9000B model, firmware version 2.1-update1, base band version I9000BVJJG7, kkernel version 2.6.29 latin.umtssamsung #2, and compilation number ECLAIR.VJJG9.
Since i live in Brazil i cant seem to get acces to paid apps in the market or to google navigation out of the box, it seems i would have to root, or get super user privileges, to do those things (sorry, i'm a complete newb at this stuff)
If anyone could help me, i would relly appreciate it,
sorry for the bad english

Could you check the phone model number in the settings -> about phone -> Model number!
I will update my update.zip to work with your phone!

Can you dump your firmware? I really want the pt-br Swype.

Use my tutorial!
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
And use the update.zip in this post! please let me know if it works!

BackfireNL - i tried your method, it didnt work, it gave me the E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)
My model is the GT-I9000B
Thanks for the help
laggedHero - how do i dump my firmware?

Well seems it's root protected!

That's a pitty... is there anything I can do in order to root unprotect my phone?
Is there any way of me accessing the market for paid apps/google navigation?
Thanks for the help!

I'm afraid all that requires root. Could you possibly find a brazilian forum with more info on the specific model?
There do not seem to be many people with that model here.

@straus91 can you go to the dial pad screen and type
*#*#1234#*#*
then let us know the result
also if possible take a picture behind the phone without the battery to see what is the actual version code I9000B or GT-I9000B or whatever it might be

I allready rewrote the updater-script to his model! but it doesn't seem to work!
Status 7 means that the NAND is locked! so it's write protected...

Hi there Allgamer,
here's what i get from the number typing:

I don't have a camera here with me but here's what writeen behind my cellphones battery:

Thanks for the help

Olá amigo!
I live in Brazil also, but I have the I9000 Euro model.
Your phone seems kinda different!
It says it was produced here in Brazil.
And a 1000mA battery? Shouldn't it be 1500mA?
And we don't have many info on those phones in national forums... The model is too new, not many people have it.
Another info for you: I have already rooted my phone, but Google Navigation wont work for us... I guess the problem is on the maps themselves... Google Maps has to know where you are in order to give you navigation, you can't fool this by rooting your phone like we do for the market apps.
Keep more data coming!
I'm also interested to know more about the I9000B.

Please, hide your IMEI!

Prezados,
It was a good idea to put that tv. But the one-seg resolution would make me fell kinda bad. And not to say that brazilian tv sucks. I think that's what they call 'envy'.
I'll be following this thead closely, and I hope to help. Good luck on the rooting.
Abs,
Daniel

I am also from Brazil, i wonder why the brazilian version has the nand locked. Good luck rooting that phone.

Hi I'm from panama and I think I have the same problem here, but with the model I9000T for latin america. Also giving me status 7 after modifying updater-script.
If you find any possible solution please post it and txs in advance

Stock Google Navigation won't work in Brazil, you have to use the brut modified version of Google Navigation (you can find the brut maps here in xda)... with the brut mod you can use navigation in any place that has google maps coverage, that is, virtually anywhere in the world...
I used google navigation just some hours ago to find an address in a neighbor city, worked great... of course, we all know that the GPS in the SGS isn't all that great, but if you're patient with the GPS lags and are willing to make some wrong turns you'll eventually end up reaching your destination
My SGS is the international one, I bought in Mercado Livre for half the price of a iPhone 4 (wich always leaves me happy to remind of), I'm running on JPC (Froyo) with Doc's RomMod v2 and LagFix, this is definitely the best device you can have

I live in Brazil, but I got myself an european model.
It was way cheaper and i really don't care about the TV reception.
Also, awesome mod comunity! (Thumbs up for XDA fórums!)
I'm using the european portuguese swype, and it works quite well.
The learning engine is very good.

[Q] German Language?

Hello all,
I want to buy the MotoX too. Its an amazing device.
Can anybody tell me if the MotoX have german system language too?
The HTC First (AT&T) i bought a Year ago had german settings.
thanks for info
EDIT: The reason why i am asking is some sellers on eB*y told me that the MotoX does not have the german language settings.
BUDNI

no german, just four languages inside

I thought that language packs are baked into the system. I have a German razr HD but prefer the english system settings over the German ones. I find the German expressions for some of the settings rather confusing. I'd be more concerned about the phone working properly on our phone bands...

I asked already seven sellers on eB*y for German Language Settings.
Four sellers answered "No", two sellers answered "Yes", one did not know for 100%.
So i am a bit confused if German Settings would work or not...
I am on T-Mobile. Should be work in Germany with Moto X.

Guten tag,
I just checked it for you...indeed there are only 4 languages coming with the phone, English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese. I am sure if you can install German package on it. But most apps today have German. Viel Glück!

Thanks for checking!
I found some apps (more local and set local) to change language to German - if it will be works on Moto X.
In case English will be also ok for me.
Most .apks i need i could install by myself...

From the point that the Moto X is currently only available in the americas, it makes sense that onle the 4 mentioned langauges are on the phone. On the other side, Android usually comes with all languages baked in (I have a ton of languages in my German 4.1.2). Considering that language packs are universal of an Android release, it should at least be possible to extract German from an interneational 4.2 rom and some how add it to the Moto Xs rom.
I'd love to check out the Moto X myself, but I already have a 4.7 inch razr HD with my self made Tasker skip setup. Actually I consider getting something bigger. i toyed around with a 6.2 inch Huawei Mate at a local store and currently I think it's too big. So the Galaxy Note 3 with a 5.5 inch screen could hit my sweet spot. i just have to wait until I can check it out locally.
But 1.5 years ago I thought that anything bigger than 4 inch was too big...
Sorry from drifting away from the topic...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. (REQUEST)

Hi,
This looks like a very helpful website and I have a tricky objective that I wondered if anyone here could help me with.
My wife bought a Note 4 (N910G) and she would really like to have a few options that aren't available on the stock Telstra firmware.
She is Japanese and would really like to have the stock dictionary from a Japanese note 4.
and also the Japanese language isn't available on the default N910G
Is this the place I can request help with things like this?
or is there a place I can request custom roms?
or is there a place I can learn to take bits and pieces from other firmwares?
I started a tutorial but I can'T find the firmware for the Japanese release note4.
and I don't know where to even start.
Is there even a way to just add more languages to the default phone language dictionary ?
I'm sorry if this isn't in the correct forum, I'm off to search a bit more.
on a side note I also have a note 4 N910U and that actually has the japanese language available by default but does not have English to Japanese dictionary by default.
The dictionary I am referring to is the one that pops up when you highlight things in the default samsung browser and such.
Thanks again for any help

Thanks for that suggestion.
I didn't know I could do that.
it helped change the default language, but I allready loaded a Rom that had Japanese enabled so that wasn't/isn't the problem I am trying to solve now.
All I want to be able to do now is highlight something and use the default samsung dictionary to look up words in Japanese and translate them both ways. eng-jp and jp-eng
also the auto correct is crazy bad.
if a word is typed in Japanese the suggested words are often wrong and if a mistake is made it doesn't fix it,
hard to explain but my wife really can't use this phone the way it is.
Is there a way to get the full Japanese firmware and flash it onto the n910g? or N910U?

I searched, but no luck. I think there is no way to flash offical japanes firm for 910g or 910u coz japan model has different model number. The other things i cant help you.

Yeh I can't even find the firmware for the Japanese models on sammobile..
its really annoying. I wish I had the time to learn how to take firmwares apart and take the bits and pieces from one and move them to something useful.
I started trying to learn but considering I rooted my first android less than 24 hours ago, its a bit daunting still.
maybe another region has the Full English to Japanese dictionary built in to the firmware?
Brazil has quite a large Japanese speaking community.
its not that I really need the dictionary. its that if I know the firmware has that dictionary built in then I know it can be used to type and auto correct properly.
also if this all doesn't work. do I have to mention that a phone has been rooted when I sell it?

I found the problem... in japan offical only just the note edge realised.
Try search sc-01G firmware, download it and extract/copy what you need i think its a working way coz the note edge has a very similar libs.
And yes when you sell your note 4 they see it rooted before, but in my country the rooted note 4 has the absolute similar price then non rooted.
Sorry my bad english its not my native language and i dont use so much.
Edit: s translator from galaxy app market has jap-eng and eng-jap.

thats a cool translator thanks. The awesome thing about the built in dictionary is that it doesn't use data when translating.
I appreciate your help, So I will get the note edge firmware and then
I'll have a look at that firmware but I have no clue how to extract the dictionary and files i need.
does anyone know What I need to extract and how to go about doing it?
seems like I'd have trouble figuring out where on the Edge firmware I would find what I want.
but I guess after that I could just copy it to the same place in the N910G firmware..
but then do I need to change some other string or something so it knows it is there?
I just know someone here could do this sort of thing before their morning coffee, please let them read this.

Can I change a US Home into a UK Home?

I imported a US Home and I am interested in changing it into a UK Home. I am assuming the hardware is the same....
Thanks in advance.

Yeah hardware is the same.
It's with the Google account you going to use.
I am even using the Google home in India.
So no issues with the import.

Same, using a US one in the Netherlands. While I do prefer British over American English, I did choose to set mine to American as the UK voice doesn't use Wavenet for its text to speech yet, so it sounds more robotic.

Flash? XD
You can just change the language in the settings, so when Dutch arrives you can of course just change the language of the Google home to Dutch.

Resurrecting this oldish thread, got both my Home and mini speakers from the US and was thrilled when it finally was released officially here in Sweden and tried to switch over to swedish from US English without much luck.
Swedish doesn't even show up as an option yet in language settings in the Google home app so hopefully it's just not fully implemented and I even reached out to Google for some clarification without much luck (surprise)
So I'm not fully convinced it's just enough to switch language due to the fact it says specifically that the country code on the devices firmware is set to US...
Might need to order a "swedish" mini to check firmware info to compare releases.
