Change Language in MIUI 9 - Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers

Hi , Everyone , Today I was trying out the latest Miui 9 port for our device but there are many system apps in chinese and additional add-ons in different apps which are in chinese , I guess I saw a post / comment regarding how to change it by adding one or two lines in build.prop , but I can't find it now . Help !!

You can always try to root MIUI, install MoreLocale2 and add your own language. The downside is that if you restart your cellphone, everytime you do you'll need to run that same app.

I have rooted miui 9 but I guess I saw somewhere on a thread while looking for google installer about a build.prop tweak such as '.language=en' of two commands !! Hope I could find it ??

That is if you want to use the Theme Manager in English. If you don't switch themes, it won'f affect anything else.

I found it on zuk community:
Add these two lines in build.prop
ro.miui.region=IN
ro.miui.cust_variant=en
Clear data of theme manager and reboot.

[12.September.2011][MOD]|Full Arabic Support for Gingerbread 2.3.3 (Overcome)

This mod will install full Arabic support on Galaxy Tabs running Overcome 3.1.0 [Kratos] (may work on earlier editions but no guarantees- try at your own risk!)
This is a CWM flashable zip and it includes a script to wipe dalvik cache after installation so all you need to do is install in CWM and reboot
We now have proper Arabic support with reading and the stock Gingerbread Arabic keyboard is also included for input support
After installing, make sure the input method is set to Samsung Keypad (default) and press the Settings key to the left of the Go key. In the next screen, tab Input Language and select Arabic then press the back key twice. You will now have an Arabic keyboard
Note: This has been tested on Overcome 3.0.0 [Kratos] but may work on others.
Please report if you get it working on other ROMs and I will add a note
Download: 004002-Overcome_v3.1.0_KRATOS_Full_Arabic_Patch.zip

I hate those ones very much, I want the original Overcome ones.

No actually the input support (keyboard) is not.
The files which enable reading and correct character shaping were made by alterbridge86 using madmack's script.
The keyboard / input patch was made by me

It was actually quite simple and didn't take much time at all but I do not know how many firmwares this will work on as I have only tested it with Icarus.

I know, but since the Arabic patch will probably change the framework resources then I asked if I could get the default gingerbread icons.

Ah...
Well yes. This patch does change the framework. If you want stock Gingerbread then the path I would recommend is to flash the stock theme patch, reboot at least once and then flash the arabic patch. You can get both patches from teamovercome.net in the Downloads section. I tried that combination yesterday and it works fine

I am also interested in a description on how you did it.
I would like to do something similar with full japanese support. The fonts in the european rom look ugly, and the japanese keyboards in the market are not really good...

To be honest it's just a matter of finding of finding, extracting, deodexing and zipaligning the keyboard from a compatible stock ROM that has the language you need. Once you are sure the files work, you can package them in a flashable zip to make it easy to apply. This will also patch the framework and other system files and that's why I stress the need for compatibility.

Wipe data/factory reset, reflash ROM
Or search PA's thread for similar experiences from other users.
And PLEASE, write in ENGLISH. Jeez.

so I am going to take a shot in the dark here......are you using the new holo notifications? If so, while it is enabled you CANNOT click install. This is a security feature implemented into android by google which cannot and will not be changed. This has been covered multiple times in probably every official PA thread. If this is infact not the case, please be more specific as to what the problem is.
If what I mentioned is the problem, close/disable holo and install the apk then simply re-enable holo.

You should start troubleshooting by following these easy steps:
1. STOP TOUCHING YOUR DEVICE
2. READ
3. AFTER READING THE FIRST TIME, READ AGAIN
4. REALIZE HOW STUPID IT WAS FOR YOU TO CREATE A THREAD ON SUCH A WELL KNOWN THING
5. HANG HEAD IN SHAME or alternatively PUNCH YOURSELF REPEATEDLY FOR NOT SEARCHING FIRST

thx that was the problem
just in case
Just in case someone comes here with the same problem, but Halo isn't the cause...
I faced this issue for the same reason (Halo) BUT while looking into it I found that some people had another
cause for this and had to uninstall an app. Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048457

you can install the Bloatware for this ROM from here...just download the bloatware and reboot to recovery and this will install all the samsung stuff thats not in Aroma, there is a guide on how to install individual application by moving the apk files within this bloatware zip. Search for Bloatware on the thread below and and look for the steps on how to do this.

Already moved the file to the System/app folder, checked the permissions, rebooted and it did not work.
Guess I'll have to install the whole package via recovery and then delete what I do not want.
If you can give me any other tips, I am grateful.

Remove Chinese in Apps

Anybody knows, how can we remove chinese words in apps like phone dialer, U Health, GT Browser?
Can we find all apps in english?
Can we use Z1 international apps in our device?
You can delete most of them and replace with Play Store apps.

I deleted the browser and replaced with Chrome. The dialer is fine with me.

For me the ultimate solution would be either installing a custom Rom or if/when Lenovo release a global Stock Rom.

Problem solved. It's a modified version of the system, these apps have been removed and when installing them manually they didn't work.
You can install the original ROM, without having to root or anything, just google for '[HOWTO] Flash a Stock ZUI ROM (ZUK Z2 Pro Z2121 only!)', should be the first result.
make sure to use method 2, method 1 won't work, put the downloaded files in folders with short names on C:\ and don't use space or any symbols in the folder names. Also download the files from the link of the second method, not the first one, the password for the archive is
club.lenovo.com.cn

The system will be in chinese, with english available (for english language go to settings, then the option with the cog symbol, then second option, then first option), the translation for other languages were horrible anyway. You will have the newest version of the software with all the app, including U-Health etc. You will also be able to get future updates on the phone itself, which isn't possible with the 'international ROM'. Also stuff like permission manager will work, but you have to install the google apps yourself, which is very easy after googling for a tutorial.

Thank you.
I did it and my phone works. Beautiful.
On the other, only a question.
When I try to check if there is a new upgrade a message appears in my mobile.
The message said: Your mobile has been root, isn't available upgrade.
Do you know if the mobile is rooted when you do the flashing with the method that you posted.
Thanks advanced.
Why these chinese manufacturer put Chinese on their devices even on international model.
Very frustrating.

I don't get that message, for me it just says 'No Update available' and Rootchecker also says, that I don't have root access.
Maybe the shop you bought it from rooted it? You could try unrooting it.
Also when you want to update with the System Update app, you need to be connected to a chinese VPN

If the shop rooted it then it likely has a reseller ROM.
