Hello,
does a Rome or a Upgrade for the “universal” exist with Russian system?
If, where I can find it?

Russian == sucks
You'd better use english ROM and localize only the keyboard with LEng or some other tool.

Seems you are new here , dont know who is Mamaich , better look what his post and how he help people in here , maybe you had no ideal how made AKU3.2 rom ,and why everyone made any rom always said thanks Mamaich,I think you better said sorry to him,they are no any RUS rom for Uni in the world but I knew Mamaich can make it , but why he said sucks ? I tell you why because cant find VGA RUS mui special in some of program , if you can find it than said sucks for him or me otherwide sucks is you AXP understand.
PS.Mamaich lived in RUS
Russian interface sucks for 4 reasons.
1. Awful translation. Sometimes you need to translate a phrase back to English just to understand what it should mean. I call it "русЕфЕкация".
2. Localized interfaces look ugly - lines don't fit dialogs, font problems, etc.
3. Localized ROMs appear later than english, so you have to use obsolete OSes.
4. Localizations are made by Quarta and similar companies who do them via reverse engineering ROMs (extracting & translating resources, patching hardcoded strings, editing registry etc - I know what I'm talking about). In most cases this is done incorrectly, and such ROMs are unstable.
The best thing you can do - is to localize only the on-screen/hardware keyboard and select Russian regional settings. In this case you'll get a stable OS and an ability to use Russian.
Attached one screenshot (this is a russian version of Windows desktop search downloaded from microsoft site).
But there are already many ROMs have Chinese interface.The mui files and some dll files were all translated into Chinese.
However,I still love the English interface.What I did was only to replace wince.nls with a Chinese one, remove all the English inputs and SmartDialer,and replace the ttf file with Chinese file,also edit registry.Without mamaich,we can never do this.

Probably, I should apologize. My English not so is good, and I have understood a phrase literally - that Russia (instead of the Russian interface) - sucks. With your statements I absolutely agree. Itself and I do.

Hei thanks, but the WM5LangPack-RUS.zip I cant download.
Is it possible new uploading? Thanks.
Greets Danny.
here ...
Thanks a lot.
Happy new year.
Greets Daniel.
I think everything is OK right now. Russian fonts are already present in every ROM - either Helmi's or Ivan's or Jwrightmcps's. And there are a lot of russian keyboards to choose from. So everyone can use Mobile Word or smth to edit russian docs.
And it's not too difficult to remember some menu items in English even if the user doesn't know English.
And, sure, OS developers can not make english applications to run in russian.
So I don't see a problem.
Hi,
I got a Desire which has only English and French language support.
HTC told me that even they are not able to add additional languages, since Android is setting the language according to a specific file in the file system.
So if you are installing a new firmware, only the selected languages are installed, even that all languages are included in the firmware file.
My question now, is it possible to add additional languages, or change the file that with the next firmware upgrade additional languages are installed?
Thanks

There are two files: one for manual install via ADB and one to flash via CWM recovery. I'm recommending second option as much more safe.

YOU STILL NEED 'MORE LOCALE 2' to change language in system.
Korean!!!
But, how do you do that? Are you adding fonts to /system/fonts folder or replace one of the stock fonts? If it is the latter case, I found out that replacing with some fonts soft-bricked NookTouch. If you need fonts, here's the link. It contains two sets of fonts. We don't have italic nor bolditalic.

Anyway thanks for doing this!

You probably just copied fonts without setting proper file permissions. Then You have boot loop because android cannot load fonts. You have to set proper file permissions before reboot.
You need to replace HelveticaNeue as those are fonts used in Nook (DroidSans in every other android device).
I can add Korean language to framework-res (main android file), but You have to workout font problem by yourself. Probably it will be better to use some font which has every UTF chars including Korean.
Hi
can you please add italian language?
that would be awesome!

I set the permission properly as I've used linux for a while. I switched fonts using noogie.img and linux. But some combinations simply work and some does not. For example, I have korean font A (similar to sans), I switch A with Trebuchet_regular, it work. but if I switch it with Amasis_regular, it does not. I don't know whether there are some compatibility issues regarding fonts.
Also, I can see korean fonts in the library(title, author's name) but not in the reader. Does it mean library uses different fonts? (since HelveticaNeue definately does not support korean).
I'm just trying to find out general rule for switching fonts. Since, you know, people have a lot of different preference, so people want to use different fonts. Again, thanks a lot.
I would just like it if we could figure out how to add a font to the list of available fonts in the drop-down box under the font options in the Text dialog. Then instead of replacing fonts, we could just add any of the fonts people are looking for. It must be possible, just not sure quite how to do it. Has anyone used "Font Changer (Root)" from the marketplace on the NST?

I used Font Changer (Root). It is quite working well in terms of replacing fonts. However, there's still a bug that if you choose to see preview before replacing fonts, it replaces wrong fonts. Still, replacing fonts is quite dangerous since it will put NookTouch in boot-loop.
One of the ways which is quite working well so far is replacing only regular font and deleting bold, italic, bolditalic. I am successfully reading Korean text through the stock reader.
Could you add russian as well, please?
MULTILANGUAGE BETA added.
Hi than33,
can you tell us where to push the framework-res.apk file with adb ?
Is it in /system/app or in /system/framework/ ?

/system/framework
I don't think it is safe to push it on system already running. Probably it will crash system immediatelly without any chance to change file permissions.'
I think You have to do this by CWM recovery. I've uploaded file to be flashed via CWM recovery. On the second hand if You have CWMR it is easy to flash original framework in case of something goes wrong.
UPDATE: uploaded MULTILANGUAGE file to flash via CWM RECOVERY
Spanish pleaseee
I flash it via CWM RECOVERY and it works good.
Many apps in french now.
Thank you

It was already added. My llist of available languages wasn't complete.
I cannot add more languages as those are all which are available in android sdk.
Please check once again if your language is on list. (updated 2012-01-03)

I did the same and Nook felt to bootloop. Will try ADB tomorrow after factory reset.
P.S. Sorry, it seems it's not your fault. The bootloop continues even after factory reset. Probably something went wrong with CWR...
P.P.S. Alas, the problem persists. Factory reset with 2 buttons doesn't help against the bootloop, but 8 interrupted reboots does. After the restore I tried to apply your framework, and got the same bootloop. I have a 1.0.1 version, is it critical?

It works for me but I have 1.1.0 version. Maybe it matter
I confirm, it works only with 1.1.0, previous versions won't boot up with this framework.
Actually I can't see any difference before and after update. Even power off message and buttons remain in English. Could somebody post any examples of the translation? Or how to check if the update was succsessful or not?
I'm terribly sorry that I didn't mention that this is for firmware 1.1. My mistake!
I've changed first post to be more clear.
Hello everyone,
I bought a nokia XL in belgium. I've managed to root it + installed Gapps.
I need to set the default language to hebrew. I tried Language enabler but it doesn't work for me.
I also need to be able to add an hebrew keyboard (which is not available in the nokia keyboards'language choice).
What are my choices?
TIA & cheers. :fingers-crossed:

You're not totally out of luck, but...well, it's complicated.
You can install MoreLocale 2, a free and open source app which requires no rooting to force apps which have a Hebrew translation to use those. Essentially it's similar to the Language Enabler app which you've tried and which really didn't do the trick for you. Know why? Because the Nokia X's default ROM ships with only a handful of languages, which are:
Bahasa Indonesia (Malay)
Bahasa Melayu (Indonesian)
Čeština (Czech)
Deustch (German)
English
Español (Spanish)
Français (French)
Italiano (Italian)
Magyar (Hungarian)
Polski (Polish)
Português (Portuguese)
Română (Romanian)
Slovenčina (Slovak)
Tagalog
Tiếng Việt (Vietnamese)
Türkçe (Turkish)
Ελληνικά (Greek)
Беларуская (Belarusian)
Български (Bulgarian)
Қазақша (Kazahk)
Русский (Russian)
Українська (Ukrainian)
العربية (Arabic)
हिन्दी (Hindi)
ไทย (Thai)
中文 (Chinese)
Any and all other languages not listed above are not natively supported by the default ROM, but you can manually add the support...or more precisely, try to, since you have a rooted device. You'll need to install Xposed Framework and the resOverloader module for it. You'll also need a computer with:
The official USB drivers for the Nokia X
Android Software Development Kit (SDK) installed
Java Software Development Kit (SDK) installed
apktool
Using these tools you are able to extract the system apps' files and the necessary framework .apk file from your device into your computer. After you've decompiled each and every app, you'll need to create a temporary folder for your resOverloader work; I created mine in D:\ so the full path to the folder was D:\resOverloader\. Then you'll need to create a folder inside the resOverload folder and name it according to the app's package; say, if you wanted to translate the HERE Maps app, the package -- and thus the folder -- would be called com.here.app.maps, so the full path would be D:\resOverloader\com.here.app.maps and you'd need to copy the original strings.xml file here from the sources decompiled by apktool, and then manually translate it! Talk about a tedious process -- took me over a week to translate most of the system apps and whatnot.
Once you've translated whatever you want and need, push the resOverloader folder to your device via the "adb push" command into /storage/sdcard0/ (which would mean that the path to the HERE Maps app's translations would be /storage/sdcard0/resOverloader/com.here.app.maps/). Reboot, or if you want to avoid rebooting, go to Settings > Apps > Manage apps > choose the "All" apps view > find the respective app (say, Maps), tap on it > choose "Clear cache" and you may also need to choose "Clear data" (doing so deletes your data, so be careful and don't use this option if your device has valuable information which isn't backed up anywhere!)
...
By the time you've done all this, you'll notice that despite all your great and time-consuming efforts, some pesky apps won't display in the non-English language you've chosen, no matter what. The biggest offender is the Settings app (com.android.settings), but the Phone app also has some dialogs and whatnot in English, despite that I've translated them; Messaging and Contacts will require the caches to be purged in order to work correctly. Internet (built-in Xpress Browser app) and Camera display menus which contain multiple choices (such as Camera's "Storage" option) display the menu label in your chosen language, but the actual options in English -- this is likely a problem with my translation files, though, as opposed to the resOverloader module or the actual device firmware, I'd guess.
So what do you have at the end of the day, if you've followed my above "guide" patiently and correctly? A Nokia X device which sometimes speaks the desired language to you, and often also speaks English, whether you want it to or not. How to fix this, then? I have no idea, I'm afraid; if you know someone who does or you know yourself how to fix this, do speak up, please! It would be lovely to have the X support at least all the languages the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) does. And yes, I'm somewhat annoyed by the fact I spent over a week translating and fine-tuning these strings.xml files only to find out that they don't quite work "as advertised"...
As for enhancing the Nokia Keyboard to support a new language or multiple languages, I don't know anything about that either -- though it's something I'd also need to do for my native language, Finnish, which isn't supported by Nokia X natively -- but maybe someone else in this forum does?
Hi Jack. thank you very much for such a complete answer. I take from it that it is not a path I will follow. I thought there would be some original ROM I could use.
Anyway, regarding the keyboard I installed another app which offers the keyboards I need.
Cheers.

When I put all the apk files apktool tool unpacked, I found that almost all contain a variety of language packs, such as China Chinese, zh-cn. In particular, the framework document framework-res.apk also contains the complete Chinese and other national language.
Curiously, why the factory after the system starts, you can not choose zh-cn Simplified Chinese language I want it?
The system is not being shielded it? Or what method causes it? There are people who can help me do?
