This video will show you how to install the Swype keyboard on your Gnex.

As I already have it installed, not watching the video. But I wanted to add this, make sure you have 320 dpi our it will not install.

I'm assuming no Official release yet then?

Did Google remove the press to hold and change keyboard input option? I keep having to go change it in settings and that's a bit of an annoyance. I like to change keyboards every so often.

When you bring up the keyboard, there is an icon on the top notification bar. Select from there.
Finally, some Swype action!

Okay, so that's what that was. Lol. I was becoming frustrated that the little icon was up there so I assumed it was Swype spamming me. Thanks a lot! I guess it doesn't show up until you have more than one keyboard available.

has anyone been able to download any language files?
it seems the download capability is broken. I couldn't download any language files or dragon feature.
p.s.
Downloading works but it just needs some time.

Downloading the additional languages seems a little buggy. Sometimes the option completely disappears from the menus( even whilst being connected to wifi the whole time). It's not a conclusive method of getting the menu option back but I think running the swype setup/installer app when swype is already installed seemed to bring it back for me. Then several times when opening the download languages menu it sat with the loading twirly for ages and ages.
Also when finally getting the list of languages and downloading my desired language, the downloading was fairly fast but installing took ages.
What was also funny was swype had defaulted to Spanish when I first downloaded it and I was wondering why it's predictions had become so seemingly odd....

You can't. It's the way you change keyboard in ICS (except stock keyboard which is long press space).
The norification will stay there unless Swype implements the ICS way to change keyboard.

I'm using Swype whole mounth. build that I found works perfectly in my g nexus.
I can give apk if somebody wants. Also it supports lots of languages.

and I don't have any keyboard icon at top bar. It works how it must (like in 2.3).
But there one BUT: it uses nuance dictation (or dragon) that's no t so cool as default goggle's

Help with Chinese input

Hey everyone. So I just noticed my phone has the option to switch to Chinese under the language settings. I've been flashing rooms and kernals for awhile on this phone. Currently I am on tdjs dark side beta 3.
So some of my relatives recently took advantage of the free gs2 offer from T-Mobile and got their phones. They've come to me to see if I can change their phone to Chinese. The weird thing is, that I can't even see that option on their phones.
Is this because I'm rooted with a different rom? Or is it because I'm on ICS that has the ability to have the option or Chinese?
What's the quickest and easiest way for me to add Chinese to their phones. I'm not talking about the Google Pinyin app, I'm looking to change the language of the entire phone to Chinese.
Any help or tips will be greatly appreciated.

Bump. Need help please
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Even though the phone supports many languages only a few of them will show in the menu. Using this app will allow you to access the hidden languages and set it as the system language. Be advised the languages are in pseudo alphabetical order so you will have to scroll the whole list to find the language you're looking for.

google now not working in Hebrew

hello
I have a galaxy nexus GSM
I just flashed the new jb stock rom (this one :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801664 - the Deodexed)
At the beginning the language was English and Google now was working great, but right when i change it to Hebrew its stop working - wont show me any cards and wont answer my questions (who's the CEO of Google, etc).
please help.

It's English-only. There's nothing you can do.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

do mean that the device language have to be English ?
Is there anyway to make only the google now English and the rest Hebrew?

Yup, that's what I meant. I've heard of a way by replacing the APK file with a modded one. Not remember where, but Google should get you there.

[GUIDE] Google now for Asian Users on JellyBean

Hi guys I just got my One X updated to Jellybean (OTA) and realized that the "Google Now" doesnt really work for Asian Devices. Just do the following simple steps to activate google now to its full potential
Step 1: Download play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale
Step 2: Set your current locale as English (United States) or (UK)
And Bam! Your google now should start working in the google voice search app

Really? Not sure if your JB is from HTC or CM, but my phone uses CM and Google Now works perfectly fine without this.

No this is a problem for the Sense JB

thanks to this guide! Google now works on 3.14.707.24

thanks man! worked like a charm!

Mine just worked from the home button press.
Works perfect for thailand.

Thanks! Ironed out the issue for my HOX Google Now.

Does this fix the problem that google now don't talk? Because it's work fine for me except it's not talking
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
edit: thanks man, google is talking to me now

This fixes Google Now, but then it changes the keyboard as well. US English is a grayish keyboard, while English (xxxx Asian Country) is a black themed keyboard with no directional arrows (both languages had their arrows turned off, but US English still forced them on). This is my experience, might not be for anyone else.

I'm using English (uk) and it works fine for me. I downloaded more locale 2 from play and just made sure I selected matching languages in both Google now and more locale 2. Having American spelling etc, really didn't appeal to me!

Not sure why yours changed back. Mine remains English US after restart. I just tried.

Thank you so much! It worked magically! Well actually. this also solved my cards problem, which were not appearing in Google now. :cyclops:
And Bam!

Thanks, this worked for my wife's Note 2 a well (didn't have issues with my HOX)

It's working fine for me. The only thing which doesn't work that it DOES NOT talk back. This solution didn't fix it though.

still have the problem sometimes when i do a phone reset it changes from english (us)
this is really strange you only find out if you try to use google now and there is no voice........

So many problems. I have lots of questions

OK can someone please help. I bought my samsung Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition 3G in Vietnam. Here are the issues with it.
1.Every time it turns on or restarts TouchWiz crashes.
2.I can't find a way to update to kitkat without rooting.
3.(I know this one is discussed a lot but I still haven't found a fix) the wallpaper won't fit right no matter what app I use I have tried downloading huge pictures I have used wallpaper wizardrii and a few other apps to get scrolling wallpapers and to get the wallpaper to fit in landscape and portrait without it being pixelated but it still won't fit right.
I know everyone on here gets made when you don't ask the right questions in the right place or you don't weed through pages and pages of conversations in hopes to find the answer you are looking for but I have looked and I can't find an answer to any of these things so before someone bites my head off maybe direct me to the right place.

Okay here we go
1. Go to app settings and clear cache for the tw launcher. If that doesn't help delete data (beware all your home screen settings get deleted). If it's still bugs after that you either make a factory reset or try an alternative launcher like Nova.
2. KitKat has only been released to some specific countries atm. You can check www.sammobile.com to see which ones. If it isn't released for your country you can flash any firmware through ODIN. As far as I know that doesn't require root and doesn't trip knox if it's an official firmware. (Best to read up on this stuff before doing anything)
3. Use the app "simple image wallpaper". Does wonders.
Cheers

Hi
1) Did you buy the Note new or secondhand/refurbished?
2) How long ago have had it?
3) Has it always displayed this behaviour since you had it?
4) Are you on stock rom (unrooted)?
5) Have tried to reinstal stock rom?
Answers to these questions will help forum members/developers narrow down what the problem(s) might be, and suggest what you need to do to correct it.
Thanks

Hi. Thank you for your reply.
I bought it new and I have had it for about 4 months. It has always had these problems. It is not rooted. And I am afraid to try and reinstall the stock rom. I bought an HTC one x here that had some problems and rooting it made it worse. Asia gets the crap that is left over from stuff sent to the west.

Hi
You have the following options:
1) Return the tab for replacement (new) or re installation of stock rom as it is only 4 months old and never worked properly.
2) Follow option 1 in clouds5's post above: clear cache for Touchwiz in setting/general/application manager/all
3) Factory reset/clear cache/clear dalvik in stock recovery and reboot. It is safe to do so but you will lose all your data.
4) Reinstall stock rom (with Odin) for your region from Samsung-updates.com
These options should solve the problems if there are no hardware faults.
Good luck.

Is there a way for Mr to just install Kitkat on my note to fix these problems? When I check for updates it says there are no updates for my device.

Yes, of course. Check 'Samsung-updates.com' or 'Sammobile.com' for Kitkat 4.4.2 update for your device, and install with ODIN. Here are the links:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P601
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
There is no need to root your device to install kitkat, and it will not trip Knox because it is official samsung firmware.

Awesome site. That fixed everything! And now I have Kitkat. Thank you so much for helping help
