Force changing Locale Region: how? - Lenovo Zuk Edge Questions & Answers

Hi,
I have a Zuk Edge with grossoshop rom installed. There is a french translation in this rom but it isnt good, and worse it has a lot of bad bugs: screen recording function unfindable, bug when we press the "recently used apps"... Its really a mess.
So i have to get back to english. Not a problem itself if the system is english.
But i would like the play store and all the apps i download to be in french. I saw there is some apps to do this, by changing the "locale region" of my phone:
- MoreLocale2
- Locale & Language
- Change Locale
I'am rooted, so even if im on Android 7, it should be working.
But even if i swtich, the app i download are in english, and if there is not an option to change the language IN the app, i can't do anything.
I think the change which is made is not really made cause i saw that if i restart the "locale region" is automtically reverted to United States.
What can I do ?
Thank you in advance
Jul

up !

News : now that im back to a Stock ROM, a "relocked" bootloader, the situation is a little bit different.
With the app "Locale & Language", after i did an "adb command" the app prompted me to do, it's working. If i put "french", then all the apps are "localized" in france and are in french language.
The ONLY problem remaining is that if the phone reboot, it automatically revert into "English" again. how can i do to make it permanent, even throught a reboot?

With nougat it's never permanent, you have to change the language everytime you restart the phone

I have the same issue on a nokia 6 ta-1000, only english on reboot. Maybe some apps could change the language on reboot. I have Xposed and root installed.
Edit I have found that using a special app to change language and add a second language like English keeps the first language available. So when I reboot I still have French locale on the phone.

Re-Updating to Mango? (I need to add Display Language)

So...I have already updated to Mango (after many hacks and some problems courtesy of Microsoft's and LG's lack of communication), but I realized that my country's display language is missing. I found a hack here that involves the reverting of the OS to the previous one (NODO). Unfortunately, I did a format in my PC, so I lost the data for re-installing NODO.
Is there a way to re-install NODO or adding a display language without having to revert to NODO first?
Do the community a BIG FAVOR and SEARCH first....

How on earth could you re-install NoDo without first having to revert to NoDo????
1. You must Revert back to the very ROOTS (Factory ROM) (See end of Post for Info)
2. THEN to Pre NoDo/NoDo
3. Once you actually upgrade to NoDo
a. On your device, open the registry editor. (##634# menu)
b. GoTo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available]
c. Add a new string value for your locale, eg. Key "0413" on Data enter "Nederlands" and press SET , or see below for other languages.
16 Languages supported In Mango:
"0413"="Nederlands"
"0809"="UK English"
"0419"="Русский" (Russian)
"0405"="Čeština" (Czech)
"0816"="Português (Portugal)"
"0C0A"="Español"
"040B"="suomi" (Finnish)
"0409"="US English"
"0804"="中文(简体)" (Simplified Chinese)
"041D"="Svenska"
"040C"="Français"
"040E"="Magyar"
"0414"="Norsk"
"0406"="Dansk"
"0407"="Deutsch"
"0408"="Ελληνικά"
"0416"="Português (Brasil)"
"0410"="Italiano"
"0415"="polski"
"0412"="한국어" (Korean)
"0404"="中文(繁體)" (Traditional Chinese)
"0411"="日本語" (Japanese)
4. After you apply Reg Hack for additional languages, THEN Upgrade to Pre Mango/Mango
(VOILA!)

How to install Google Play Store on chinese Oppo Find 5 Android 4.4.4 MT6592

Hi,
i just purchased a chinese OPPO Find 5 X909 phone with Android 4.4.4 and MT6592 CPU.
i switched it to english language.
My goal is to switch is to install Google Play Store.
I tried the following, but all of these issues failed, please help me:
1.) i downloaded a Google Play Store apk (4.2 and 4.6) and installed it, but a weird Android 4.4 virusscanner close everytime the app 1-2 seconds after the start. I stopped all apps that are related to a virusscanner, but didn´t had success, the behaviour was the same.
Inside the virusscanner, the language is complete in chinese, no chance to configurate something.
The name of the Virusscanner is Tencent QQ Pim Secure
Deinstallation isn´t possible,
2.) Although the CPU is another then the usual Find 5 one, i tried to install a new ROM from here: http://www.oppoforums.com/threads/find-5-coloros-v1-0-7i-beta.10372/
But when was on step "Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons to enter recovery mode", only chinese symbol was viewable and i didn´t knew what to select...
i didn´t tried something and stopped it, maybe this was a good idea for not bricking the phone
How can i stop or deinstall the chinese virus scanner software on Android 4.4.4?????
I don't know how to solve the playstore problem, but you can find a video explaining the Chinese recovery on the bottom of this post.

I'm sorry i might have been mistaken... But i tried for like 30 minutes but was unable to place a call.
How long have you been using this rom? How's the performance, battery life etc.? Are there any other bugs we should be aware of?

I am now with EMUI because I could not flash xposed on MIUI8 now.(I could use phone without xposed:silly
But other Chinese users said that these bugs will not influence your daily use.
Wow, this is like a dream come true. Do you think this ROM will be updated to fix the bugs (especially random reboots)? I'm looking forward to use it but I would prefer if there was a little bit more stable version for daily usage. Oh and by the way, what happened? Custom ROM based on Android 6.0 for Honor 6? Did Huawei finally release ALL the sources?
As for the SIM icon - I read on his blog that this problem happens only for the Sim Card #1. I think (but I'm not sure) than in MIUI you can actually mark SIM cards as #1 or #2 in settings. Maybe this bug could be "fixed" by simply changing the settings and marking SIM card as #2?

right now, nothing is a big issue, other than signal display.. unless it's perfectly usable.. and signal issues are quite common in miui ports.. honor 5x had it too. but solved eventually

6.12.12 is the first built for Honor 6. Since Ry09iu has been made so many ROMs for H60, like FIUI, Mokee, Flyme4, Flyme5, MIUI6,MIUI7, IUNI OS, BaiduOS, Tencent TOS, and so on!
So I think He will not give up ..
The way to build MIUI8 for honor 6 is that MIUI has put out patchrom, which help developers to make roms easily.
(So it is possible to make a CM13.0(Well, now called Lineage OS) on the same way, But no one did it...)
As for the SIM icon...Well, some Honor 6 supports TWO SIM CARDS.
Thanks for your answers. I installed it right now (on top of official B860 with TWRP 3.0.2). Unfortunately I seem to have a problem with my IMEI and Baseband. Every few seconds pop-up window appears, telling me that my Device ID is unknown and it couldn't find IMEI, therefore some Mi Account options like MiCloud will be unavailable. In my Settings > About Phone it says that Baseband is also "Unknown". I'm doing another Wipe Data / Factory Reset and we'll see how it goes. Other than that the ROM seems to work OK, however there are some chinese apps.
EDIT
Nope, it's even worse now. After doing a wipe in TWRP, phone boots up and shows the starting configuration screen. I choose language, press Next and it shows up the message that there is no SIM card. I press "Skip" and phone instantly reboots. It's the same every time.
EDIT2
OK, I figured what was the problem at the first time - I flashed OpenGAPPS just after I flashed MIUI, which was not a good idea, I guess, and caused the issue described above. I formatted everything in TWRP and reinstalled MIUI only (no GAPPS). System started and had the original MIUI configuration (before it was different, probably due to the openGapps). There are, however, some bugs.
First of all, the configuration can't be finished in my language (Polish). At the step where you can choose to enable or disable "Find my phone" option it would just kind of hang (you can't finish that step). When I pressed "Next" it would just slide back to the same screen over and over again. I couldn't get past that step. However when I switched the language to English in first step, the configuration went fine. So if you have troubles and you use other language than Chinese / English, then I recommend you finish the first-time setup in English and later on switch the language to the desired one in the settings.
Problem with SIM card is quite annoying. Device doesn't recognize SIM card (even though it might actually work) and the icon is flashing all the time at the status bar. Because of that Mobile Data switch doesn't work. By default Mobile Data is enabled all the time and you can't turn it off with the switch nor with the settings (settings crash when you try to go to anything SIM related). The only way to switch on/off mobile data is by connecting the device with USB cable and using ADB commands:
adb shell
svc data disable <- disables Mobile Data
adb shell
svc data enable <- enables Mobile Data
There's also plenty of chinese apps (some chinese store + chinese VOD). The browser also has some chinese texts + some options have chinese left-overs (Mi Account Settings). The performance itself is quite good and it's a good start. However for daily usage it, in my opinion, needs a bit more polishing. Would be nice if we had someone here that could make a port for Western countries like the modified KangVIP (removing chinese apps, repairing western languages and so on). Unfortunately I don't have that kind of skill so the only thing that I can do is to report bugs I noticed

THANKS FOR YOUR TEST!!!
I will try to report bugs you found to Ry09iu
(if He will listen to me. Some developers In China did not like answer users' questions because there are too many users trying to report their questions.)
In My test, I flash OpenGApps at the same time and it can start Into system. So I think it is not a bug or just OpenGApps's bug.

Yeah, I normally do that on other phones too. I can flash CM13 and then flash OpenGapps just after that and it works perfectly fine. However for some reason it didn't work too good on my Honor 6 with this MIUI ROM (I'm using H60-L04 btw). Maybe there was some error during installation, hard to say. However whenever I started my phone it would show up "No SIM Card" screen immedietaly on top of MIUI Configuration. When I pressed "Skip" my phone automatically restarted. Weird - that probably would fix itself automatically after SIM Card bug is fixed in MIUI.

Nokia 6 / How to add unsupported language to the keyboard?

Google has a separate keyboard for Korean - you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.korean
Actually, the you can even switch the interface to Korean as well, but it requires a bit of command-line knowledge. My Nokia 6 is in Korean now:
could you explain how you changed the language with a bit of command line knowledge? much appreciated!!!

No problem. First, you need to download an app to change your language. There are lots of them on the Play Store - the one I use is MoreLocale: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale
Since normal apps are not allowed to change language on Android, you have to grant them a special permission.
First, enable USB debugging on your phone. Assuming you're on Oreo, go to Settings > System > Phone information and quickly tap on Build number until a message that says "Congratulations, you are now a developer" appears. Then go to Settings > System > Developer options and turn on USB debugging.
Second, install ADB on your computer by following this guide: https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/
Next, connect your phone with your computer. Open a command prompt window from where you installed ADB, then type this command: adb shell pm grant jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale android.permission.CHANGE_CONFIGURATION
Finally, open the app and tap on your preferred language. If it's not in the list, tap the three-dot button and choose Add locale.
This change sticks even after reboots and updates so you can delete the app. However, don't delete the added language from the language list in Settings or you'll have to add it again.

[GUIDE] How To Connect Mi Watch and Change Language

Factory Reset Your Watch
You need to restart from beginning so Factory Reset for clear start.
Install those files to your phone

2) This still works for all of you who have done it?
I'm wondering why there's only 2 ppl commenting on this. I would have thought that 1000's of ppl have been waiting to make this work in English.
