I have been trying out some of the custom roms for the sgs2 and find that most of them lack the chinese input method. Searching throughout the Samsung Galaxy forums, I am unable to find much info on it so I created this thread to help the few who would find this useful. This is inclusive of all the default samsung chinese input methods (pinyin, cangjie, bpmf, stroke, and handwritting).
For chinese input on the sgs2 you will need to extract the chinese input apk and its libraries from a chinese rom into the current rom you are using.
Chinese rom list: ZS-KF1, ZS-KF4, ZS-KG2 (available on samfirmware)
Just grab these files from any of those chinese roms:
/system/app/samsungIME.apk
/system/app/samsungIME.odex
/system/lib/libhandwritelib.so
/system/lib/libjni_pinyinime.so
/system/lib/libjni_secime.so
/system/lib/libXT9.so
If you want to import this to a deodexed rom then you can deodex the samsungIME.apk+odex files with help from this thread created by sicopat

Well.I think that most chinese will install touchpal or sogou...they won't care about samsungime
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes, for third party Chinese input support there are Touchpal, Sogou, Iflytek, Baidu input, and more, but not all of those have traditional chinese support. Regardless, this method is for those that want to use the built in Samsung input method.

Good job!

For I9100 Chinese Input. There is a zip file published for rooted user. Just use CWM to apply the file. Checkout the link below.

I use Google Pinyin IME which is very very nice too.

well。we can choose the one has traditional input...But your post is great
Theoretically, would this method work for any "missing" language?
not sure about all languages but you can try the other libraries that pertain to the samsung keyboard.
/system/lib/libjni_latinime.so
/system/lib/libjnigraphics.so
/system/lib/libXt9core.so
and the language files under
/system/T9DB

Which Rom are you on and does the 3rd party Chinese input app you are using support handwritten chinese input method?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Will this work for TRADITIONAL chinese input as well? Can I extract it from the HK ROMs...Such as the HK I9100ZSKG2?
i use multiling keyboard.. it has chinese handwriting n hanyu pinyin..
i'm using SCUT gPen繁體版手寫輸入法..
perfect for traditional chinese handwriting input

I would like to have ㄅㄆㄇㄈ input. Is that what you are talking about? I don't read/speak Chinese, so I don't understand the above chinese. Wife and kids and other Taiwanese do and sometimes they need to input stuff for maps etc.

multiling keyboard appears to offer the ㄅㄆㄇㄈ input, the other app i mentioned is actual handwriting input (i.e. writing each word out to get the actual characters)
for simplified Chinese which support handwriting, there are DioPen from Hanvon in DXKH2 AND DXKI4, If I used other ROM then I used Guobi Input. you can find many input from here: http://www.3gfan.com/class/346_1.htm

I bought a Desire off online hoping that it can be rooted and do whatever i want with it.....but apparantly it is lock down now so i am hoping someone can supply the asia rom for desire...
To what i've read on the site i think i can flash official asia rom to mu europe desire and get chinese support right?
Thank you for all the incoming help....
well you can use morelocale2 from android market..
or if you want to flash it entirely:
httx://bbs.3gin.net/thread-25943-1-1.html
yes, on the market, I'm using too
you can use morelocale2. Also sogou for chinese input
You can download 'more locale 2'
Hi, I also hope some one could publish the HTC Desire's Asia Rom. I want the HTC chinese input method not the locale stuff.
None of Google,Sogou,QQ,Baidu input method is good enough for both English and Chinese.But switch between these input methods and HTC's input method is slow and will disable multi-touch function until reboot.
Anyone could help me?
I bought the phone in china, it had all the asian stuff, actually i didnt want any of that so i rebooted.
check out xda-china.net, maybe over there..
i asked this question a while back, there are 3rd party apps on the market to get the support OR you can root your device and install the language (same as the steps as doing it on rooted hero)
Hi, None 3rd party Chinese input is good or stable enough to use, even the google one.
Thanks to yojosefo. I found the link from that site which contains almost all the official ROMs
shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bravo/
And I am using HTC input method contains Chinese now

Hi which rom did u used for chinese input?
search for "r1-wvga-cime-signed.zip"
if you have your desire rooted u can just install that without the need to flash other roms..
i believe that asia wwe does not contain zhuyin for those who want that input.. as for pinyin it's included in there
Does the recent leak 2.06 HK CSL rom comes with chinese ime?
anyone can confirmed?
I updated to the newest firmware for the note 2 the n7100xxxxJ1 update so that I can have split screen and that part worked but after reinstalling input languages I found that typing in Chinese still works but it does not have the handwriting feature any more.
All the other input languages that I activate the handwriting feature still works just not Chinese. I use that feature everyday as I live in China. Also I do not want a 3 party app to use the handwriting feature for Chinese due to the fact that everyone of my friends who has used my phone cannot believe how accurate the handwriting feature is for Chinese. Please help I have searched and downloaded and reinstalled and re flashed firmware and i can not figure out how to get it back. Thanks. Phone is rooted has adb, busybox, cmw. I does not work unrooted or rooted not that you think it would make a difference just thought I would say.
thanks for you help
same same~~
if you do find out the solution, please let know too....

[ROM][MIUIv5][JB-4.2.2] MIUIandroid 3.6.28 for t0lteatt
hello, i tried to post within the above rom page, but i don't have permission to... so i'm posting it here
I installed MIUIandroid 3.6.28 rom and in love with the cool effects and screen goodies but only problem i'm having is the language input where Korean is not an option. I will need to type in Korean to communicate with my family and friends but input options does not have Korean available. Tried to search google and in this forum but no luck (specific for Galaxy note 2 device which i'm using)
Does anyone know how to add Korean language onto this ROM after I install the rom? will future update have Korean language on it?
I love to use this ROM but without the language support I can't use it.
thanks in advance and for awesome site!! (i've been reading xda for long but never posted until now, ^_^)
I'm not the dev, but, I cant imagine that he would be including Korean language pack, since he speaks english..
There might be a way of adding Korean language to it, since it is a Chinese based rom, but I do not know how that is done..
Maybe someone else can help you

Download any stock rom from your region and pull the Czech Language files from system/sipdb (zipfile) and system/VODB and add them to your current setup in those same locations.
@anees02 if you have a link to a CZ rom, id be more than happy to test. Cygwin and Win10 arent playing nice for me or id use the tar.

In fact that i want another language (Arabic language)
And i have a link to CSC file...is this file for the language?
I know a lot of developers translate all system apps to local language and add these app in a custom ROM.
Although there is a stock local language firmware but for another model.
For example :-
There is an Arabic native support firmware for models SM-N910C & SM-N910FD.
Could i pull the system languages of the above models and put it in our model SM-N910P ?

i just deleted a rom i believe that didnt have cs_CZ but did have SA. whats the link to the rom, the N910Fs are getting crazy with what languges Devs choose to include and leave out.
If you have a backup made, sure, go for the 2 files to add to the folders mentioned in the prior posts. That should allow for full language support, including settings and sub menus

So your deleted rom is a custom rom not stock?
I have a stock rooted rom and i want to add Arabic Language.
And you know there's any possibility to use system language files for other models to our model.
And about N910F models i don't understand what do you mean.
Did this model has a lot of languages list ?
Or
The developers couldn't add more languages to it?

I originally started my search for roms pertaining to CZ languages. Sammobile indicated N910F was Czech(Vodafone(VDC),OC2, and ETL)
Thats where the N910F reference came into play.
An yes, while N910F is interntional, Devs who put out roms seem to only include the bare minimum when it comes to languages(not keyboard langauges). and the Czech stock roms seem to be obsolete.

I tried to insert these two files according to your instructions, but it does not work.
Czech language does not appear in the Settings menu.
How do I add the Czech language?

Thanks I tried that and then i go back to AOSP setting and choose Language -> I did not see chinese or mandarin or any chinese related.
It shows list from start to end English - US ->> Uzbek, Vietnamese, Zulu end of list.
It does'nt have chinese though, maybe I need to install from playstore.
System -> Languages & Input -> Languages -> + Add a language (chinese will be at the bottom of the list)
I have a problems where I am able to choose Chinese as a language but am not able to activate Chinese as an input method. Same with Korean.
Should probably add... I use lineage with opengapps (pico) and the aosp keyboard.
The keyboard settings say use system languages but show only English and German although Chinese is configured as a system language.
I have the exact same problem with lineageos adroid keyboard.
Chinese language is available as system language for display purposes, but no input is available.
Ditto. Android 10 / LOS 17.1, zero Google apps, Chinese (简体中文) is enabled as a system language, and there seems to be no provision for actually entering Chinese. And the Google Pinyin Input app (which is what I have used in the past on CyanogenMod and LineageOS) seems to not work at all on this device (Sony Xperia Z3). The latest version of Google Pinyin installs and then dies silently, older versions will not even install. Ummmmm, that makes LOS unusable for something like 1/5 of the world's population. ;-) Maybe more, if this holds true for other Asian languages.

Now July 2022, I have same situation with 18.1 recently updated (July 2022) on Samsung HLTE. I do not have any Google product installed, including Play Store.
I have (and have activated ) the Chinese simple option in the languages, but am unable to change it in the key pad.
It seems as though most Asian languages except Vietnamese are missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: July 10th
Really would like some feedback on this please?
Is it something I am or not doing?
Is this an issue with this ROM/
Is it simply not possible?
I see it is showing com.android.imput.latin in the keypad setting.
I cannot find any way to switch to Cn.
Is there an update via Lineageo/s I can add to achive this please?
Don't hesitate to ask me if there is info missing.
Without the ability to use Cn language in keyboard this has very limited functionality for me.
I see it is a feature of a stock Samsung C8 device.
Cheers

Quite correct, but like me, the poster wants to add it to the keypad.
Ie, convert the keypad to be able to use Chinese language.
I know this is a 2 year old psot, but just curious if yu have achieved this?
FYI: I am unable to find any option to add a language in keypad setting and no Asian languages are preset. (excluding Vietnamese)

Hello, did you ever find a way to fix this?
Just install GKeyboard from Google play and set it as default input
Hello @ar_156, thanks for taking the time to write.
I am Guessing in GKeyboard the G stands for Google.
So it might likely work, as it does in my Galaxy C8 stock Chinese for which there is no known mod.
But I do not run any Google products including Pay Store.
That sort of defeats the entire purpose of running a Mod Lineage ROM, I may as well just run the stock Google Android.
Hopefully an update soon will restore the Lineage usefulness for me.
Cheers

Thanks again for your idea.
I located the APK , downloaded but it reports back : "APP not installed."
I tried it multiple times from multiple sources - no joy.
Do you or does anyone have any idea why it keeps failing please?
In a similar vein, I thought that an earlier version of Lineage OS ( I'm running 18.1 now) came with a note taking APP?
Is there one for the current version please?
Thx
Gboard - the Google Keyboard
or use TouchPal Keyboard, it wil let you install Chinese Traditional or Simplified input.
GBoard requieres some Google elements, maybe your chinese device does not allow it, your best bet is TouchPal Keyboard, I am using it, too.

Hiya @ar_156 thanks very much for that .
Issue is very likely device related, but haha, you maybe read too much CNN!
Nothing to do with location, I suspect G/board will fail anywhere.
Since posting I had a flashback to another APP that gave the same error message. Turned out it was a 64 bit APP - Note 3 is only 32~
Once I found a 32 bit APP it installed no issues. Sadly, G/board seems not to have a 32 bit option.
I have a newer 64 bit Galaxy C8 but can't find a custom ROM for that so for now I am stuck with the Note 3 and 32 bits~
I'll giveTouchpal a try many thanks.
Saturday Sept 24th.
Hello again @ar_156 , a quick follow up. f
I found the ads on Touchpal a bit distracting.
However, your tip re Gboard IS the answer for anyone who is having the same issue .
BUT - it must be the ARM (32 bit ) version, available ex Softpedia.
Probably others as well.
However, one MUST search for the arm version, there are at least 3.
The default download is 64 bit and will fail every time.
I now have Gboard up, seems to run OK. So thank you , hope this follow up helps someone, somewhere, sometime.
Cheers
