i share my captivate with my chinese fiance and would like to know how to keep the phone english but have the ability to text in chinese for her. is this possible?
i did search the forums but they seem to have chinese and want english. i only want to text in chinese? how can i do this?
I beleive the gingerbread keyboard from the android market has the ability to switch languages by swiping the space bar. (Its in the settings and you have to enable it)
Give it a shot
edit : And I gotta say, its pretty cool to be able to type in Chinese. I kinda wanna learn it LOL
many of the swypes in the custom roms now have 32 languages available
thanks supaphreek and TRusselo. im running froyo and i guess its time to update to gingerbread to get those languages. does kies provide it (GB) now? i have to unrooted to run kies mini, right? anything else i have to do before running kies mini?
i want FF3.0 also so i guess this is the week i will have to fix or break my phone.lol
my first new ROM, i am so scared to brick.
Install Google Pinyin ime from the market. Easiest way to get Chinese input. Works in any version of android.

You don't need to flash an entire new rom or even GB to get this feature. Its as simple as opening the market on your 2.2 or even 2.1 device and downloading an application called "Keyboard from Android 2.3" developed by Steven Lin. Once youve installed it, go into settings > Locale and text > (Now check the Gingerbread Keyboard box) and then go into Gingerbread Keyboard settings > Input languages > here you would select what languages you need.
FYI, i dont think this application has any chinese languages... but then again, i cant read chinese so im not really sure, i just dont recognize any chinese symbols.
There may be another app or a language pack that could help you out.

i cant access the market. im in china using my fiance's sim chip. when the chip is in her crackberry it runs internet but in my captivate it says unable to open page. however, when i go to a hotel lobby i can run wifi and my browser (cant run wifi on my home router because as TRusello explained to me some chinese routers run on channels higher than 12 and this is the case with my router.) i dont know how to change channels on the router.
i read some post that said google will start banning rooted phones. is this true? if so, should i unroot to use kies or access the market. i ask because i am going to hong kong next week where there is uncensored internet and hopefully i can access the market after buying a ten dollar sim offered in vending machines.

i would download that is there is a site with an apk but since i have no market access i can only get apps by apk download. if you know where to get that i would surely donate to the developer.

that's an ime make by baidu.com aka the chinese google, and host by them. not sure if the ui has english, but guess ur wife can figure it out if she knows how to type chinese. That should do the trick before u get to hong kong. On the side note you probably need to set up the apn to get edge access in china depends on ur carrier. and no 3g for us phones on china mobile since they use some unique 3g network designed by themslves. if u know what ur carrier is i can help u to look up the apn.

she is on china mobile.
i found a way to access android market in english even though its a chinese site:
https://market.android.com/?hl=en
i am wondering if i make an account, will google recognize my phone imei and prohibit me from having a usa and chinese android market account. my chinese account would have a different login and phone number but like i said same imei number for my phone. does google check imei's?
why does everything have to be so backwards in china?
also, we can get texts in chinese but can only send texts in pinyin (romanized form of chinese.) so at least we are not totally without communication,as far as texting, and her mom knows pinyin but her dad doesnt.
CMNET
name:cmnet
apn:cmnet
everything else leave blank...
that's the faster apn setup for china mobile. As far as the market just use the same google account is fine, at least that's how it was working for me last december when i was in china on china mobile. I couldn't view the suggested apps etc... but searching and downloading from the market was fine.

Hello
Someone knows why the apptwin feature just works on my phone for Wechat and QQ (I dont know what is that maybe some kind of chinese facebook)? I installed whats app and Facebook but they are not on the options its there a way to use both apps?
Thanks
Because you are using an Chinese rom
Hi guys, just picked up a realme X2 pro. I noticed some devices have Google assistant and all that built in. I had my device sent from China but I had to add the play store and all that. I have a breeno Assistant built in instead. Also when I swipe down to search it's in Chinese still but the phone was set up on English. Some models have a app drawer and I do not. I can't even install a different launcher on the phone. Any tips or what I need to do?
Cant you install nova launcher from playstore?

I have the play store I can download launchers but can't change them to default. I can't change anything from default apps. Like Google messaging when I set to default it automatically goes back to the original one. Other users have said they have Google assistant built into the phone but I have something called breeno

Seen somewhere on the web that you can install the European rom over the Chinese one. Maby you could try that. Dont know how that works on realme phones since i have not gotten my hand on one yet. Ill be getting the European version that has everything installed by default.

I'd love to know where you heard this, as they don't even list the EU rom for download yet and people seemed to have issues doing the same with the X2.

I'm also looking to flash my Chinese phone with the EU Rom and haven't found anything yet. If there is someone here that has done this, do give a shout-out!
Just got my mi 11 ultra China Rom....installing google play store is easy etc.
But one weird thing....all my past google purchase is forgotten. Asking me to re purchase them all again. ????
Why?
Really? That's very weird.
I suppose you logged in using your Google account that had purchased everything, right ?
I suppose so...but it's not happening. LoL first time I encounter such issue.....
Maibe check the app google play store ( and google related ) permissions ( allow everything ) .
Also check if you have the other google related services installed ( framework , play services etc ) i know that google relies on several services in order to work ok.
Will try to post on Monday if i encounter any issues on my china variant.
Cheers !
Installed Google Service last night and pretty sure it's still asking me to repurchase before I hit the bed.....but this morning...vola !! everything back to norm, no longer ask me to repurchase.
Thanks
Do you intend to keep the Chinese firmware or flash to the global?
So far I don't have problems with China rom. Only one small thing with notification on the rear screen ( not showing all tough enabled ) but it works in other rims so must be something from my side..
Until I encounter serios issues, will not flash anything else
Did you run any debloat scripts or anything yet?
absolutely nothing yet, just uninstalled several Chinese apps from the xiaomi china store app .
Will see if i have any issues in the future and consider it
Have you already tested google pay?
Some people say it is working normal with the chinese version and other say it won't work.
I am a little bit confused because of that..

That worked quite well! There is no Chinese search engine or vault anymore!
Is it possible to put Google now on the miui launder where the Chinese vault used to be ?(swipe left from home screen)

May I know how to install Google playstore in Mi 11 Ultra?
Recently purchased a mi 11 ultra, and I immediately noticed a few problems with it. Namely, the notifications seemed to be simply not working for some apps. Chinese apps like Wechat still work fine, but "western" apps such as discord and reddit simply do not show any notification at all. I tried some simple troubleshooting, and I enabled autostart, checked all the notifications in the settings, and even disabled miui battery saving options, but to no avail, still discord and reddit was silent. I'm trying my best to avoid a factory reset, so I would appreciate any help I can get. For reference, I am currently using miui 12.5.4, and a chinese rom of the system.
Hi I had a similar problem, notably with Acalendar, my favourite calendar app. Furnishing the app with every permission, autostart and as much battery as it likes did not help.
In Acalendar, there is a notification test option. This did not work and I got an error message that the notification was blocked, but Acalendar did not know why which didn't help much.
In Acalendar, there's and option in setiings/notifications called Sticky Date. I read this was a fix for some Huwaei phones, turned it on and now notificatons work.
I'm not sure I understand why this works, but hope it helps a little.
Cheers
Steve
ps I'm on 12.5.4 China Stable too

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I don't see an option for "sticky dates" for apps such as discord or reddit. On the topic of using chinese rom, do you have a solution for changing the app search bar to change search engines? it seems to only have tou tiao, baidu search and sogou as options by default, and I would be delighted to know if there's a way to change it.
Hi yes I realise the advice was for Acalendar only - sorry it didn't help more. I've updated to EU weekly now, so can't check any Chinese ROM features.
Cheers
Steve

It's possible to buy the global from some online sellers but better to buy china and flash yourself (cheaper)

hello all
Someone was able to resolve the issue with standby notifications? (
It's because of battery optimization, just turn it off for the app that has the problem. If you don't see that setting, try the app 'Hidden Settings for MIUI' from the play store. Make sure the app is allowed to run in background as well.
