[Q] English os language change to Spanish Galaxy note

Hi Guys
I want to buy a galaxy note but before I do, I would like, if someone here could kindly tell me, if i buy the phone in Spain (I live here) will I be able to change the OS etc to the English Language (as I would prefer to use it in my native tongue)
thanks in advance
Ian

Since I can change my note's system language to Espanol here in Canada so I do believe that you can do the samething in Spain as well.

Yes you can. I got mine from Amazon.es, living in Madrid, and it came from Germany (so it was in German). As soon as you turn it on it asks you what language you want to put the phone in (default being German, but you just change language --> Spanish --> Done!). It's that easy.

Thanks guys
I like easy!
Ok just off to look at prices on the internet and order, it will make a well overdue upgrade to my HTC touch HD.
and will, thank goodness, stop my thoughts on buying a small tablet since I replaced my 15 inch laptop with the new 18.4 inch one.
But still need my HD with me until TomTom release their App for Android.
thanks

Hey man, I'm from Brazil too, and I'm with the same "issue". I don't have the skills to see if porting the portuguese TTS is possible, so I just downloaded and used the one from SVOX on Google Play. But I really miss the original one, and though it's worth the firmware change and the possibility that Google will soon integrated portuguese to the default TTS (they are talking about a hundred new comands in portuguese), I still support the cause. Can anybody check on this?

Not sure if you still want it

I found a way and managed to make it work on my Moto X. I started searching for the diferences between US and BR firmwares. Found an APK named NuanceTTS (it appears as Motorola TTS on Language-> Text-to-Speech), but it's really a TTS engine made by Nuance, a Hungarian company. So I started looking for the real APK and found a topic on Mobilism Forum abour Vocalizer. You can Google it (I'm not allowed to post links yet)
Please read the entire topic. If you install Vocalizer Expressive and Luciana's Premium High voice, you'll see it's EXACTLY the same voice/engine found on the BR Moto X.

Nice, I will look for it
Edit: Wow. it works
thanks for the tip!

[Q] How to restore japanese keyboard layout?'

Hi, I bought a tf701t and flashed sdbags's rooted stock, but i can't find japanese keyboard layout in the settings. A lot of the keys don't match now.
Also, i seem to have lost the ime. (Fskaren?)
I assumed that japan was included in the ww sku so i didn't bother to backup the original rom. (So dumb of me...)
Is there any way to restore japanese input?
Am i out of luck?
Thanks.

You are out of luck But in luck as I understand Japanese so can probably put it back in ONLY IF Asus released a Japanese 4.3 rom? Did they?
Otherwise use shimebi or some other such japanese ime input app form the store for now. fskaren might be avaiable too.

I called up Asus to ask about their roms, but all I got was attitude. :-/
So then I started looking for ime apps like you said, and I found this blog:
hxxp://blog2.k05.biz/2012/10/androidbluetoothusb.html
That led me to this app:
hxxps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.repy.android.FullKeyboard
I think it's even better than the stock ime! 日本語入力ばっちり！！
Thanks for your help!

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.

Do you think that you will be able to flash it to Dutch when this arrives this year ?

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.
