Hello Forum Members,
A Russian neighbor of mine purchased a Note II and loves the phone however, his english is not that great. I have done some extensive searching through the forums and have not seen anything related to language options. I apologize if this has been answered to a different degree (i'm sure there are many users that have to overcome a language barrier) but i'm hoping someone can stear me on the direction of which Rom or kernel may adjust the possible language options for the note II. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
A helpful neighbor

...except Android 4.2 and after which requires root. However, if you managed to root, you simply delete language.xml in /system/CSC and reboot.

Idan73 has helped me to get Google Now to speak some time ago on the leaked build. It is extremely easy. If you open root explorer navigate to /system/csc/ language.xml. use menu button to open this file in text editor. The 5th or so line down is the languages currently displayed and looks like this......en_CA;fr_CA;kr_KR;........ all you need to do is add en_US to the end of this line and it will activate english (United States) in the settings/language and input tab. Go into phone Settings then Language and inputs and select English United states. Google Now will now speak. Big props to Idan73 for his help.
Obviously you will need root to accomplish this. I used CF-root after updating via KIES. Be sure to thank ChainFire for his work when you visit his thread.

If you're not comfortable tinkering with the files on your own, there is an app that can help you. Credit goes to xaueious for these instructions.

I have a Galaxy Nexus, so I already went though this before. Blame Google.
TO GET GOOGLE NOW FULLY WORKING IN CANADA, YOU NEED TO:
set your system locale (not the one in Google Now, but your actual device language) to en-US (use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&hl=en), add custom locale with language 'en', country 'US', and apply that. The stock setting of en-CA (Canadian English) does not work
change your Google Now search settings to use Google.com instead of Google.ca. You lose cards otherwise.
Make sure Google Now voice is English US to avoid further issues.
There's also an update for Google Now in the the Play Store.
Mine works just fine.

Hi there and welcome.
The way I learned was to just use the phone as much as I could and learn from doing. Just explore really. But there are a lot of tutorial blogs and videos.
With your question, do you mean change homescreen icons?
If yes, go to the play store and download a home launcher. I use apex launcher because it has a lot of features.

Search for the note 2 manual .. Dr ketan had posted it in the root guide thread
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
When u gut your phone go to samsung apps and download the free app users digest. It teaches you how to use the tabs and spen.
It helped me a lot when I first got this phone

Everybody knows the missing auto corrections in the recent N7100 ROMs. It appeared that someone in the Sprint forum found out how to activate the auto corrections again and there already are working apks for different Note II versions here on the board, but still no solution for the international (GSM) version. In the original thread someone has already posted the original SamsungIME, so it is "just" that someone has to manage it I´m sure that this is an easy task for someone who knows how to do such things - I would thank everyone so much when he or she could take a closer look on it!
Here is the manual, short and easy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093588
Thanks for the link.
I just added the feature to N7100 Samsung Keyboard based on the guide.

If you haven't already found an answer, I've found this for you.
I haven't checked it out thoroughly, but it looks like it'll work.
Please read it thoroughly before making any changes to your device, and have a Nandroid backup just in case

The above may also work with other Language Sets.
I haven't tested it though....
Hi all,
I've searched and searched and found nothing on this.
Basically the issue I have is that when i install a Rom RomAur or KitSlim my keyboard does have the English UK option with all the learn words features from Email and Google etc.
Now within a few minutes all i get is International option on English UK and lose the ability to learn words so there are no options for it.
I wouldn't mind but i use different words from around the globe as my family have sown seeds all over the world.
Just to add when I go to Stock I don't seem to have this issue.
Thanks
