Sorry I did know for this APP and JB
I'm looking for the same thing...
I found at least this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin&hl=en
Tasker/Locale plugin providing an action to change the system language.
@OP
Have you tried Xposed framwork with appl setting tweak?
that having option to select language for individual application.
For details read first line on my signature, post#8 (it needs root)
Cool. Thanks for your tip.
I will try it after returning from vacation (My phone is in feature-freeze mode because I will rely on it), thanks. In the meantime I'll stick to my humble solution in Tasker (which automates the language settings before the app start and puts it back automatically when the app closes)

I've installed the app for it's offline capability (it says so at least)- when I use the online map, everything is fine. But when I try to turn on the offline version of Berlin app makes the whole app close and go back to the tiles choosing menu.
Does anyone else encounter such problems on their HTC 7 Mozart?
Would appreciate any help if possible, cheers!
maybe someone can install it, and just check if they have a similar problem?
The item is not available from the Marketplace catalog
The app is simply called "Berlin" sorry for the confusion Authors are Guidepal.

Hi,
Me and a friend are trying to port a system app from the same phone but two different roms. Here's the situation. The phone is zopo zp998 and it comes with regular Android 4.2.2. Zopo is making the exact same phone for the Chinese market with on OS based on Android 4.2.2 that's called YunOS and it doesn't have Google account support so it's not usable outside China.
The YunOS has a black screen gesture feature that you can activate in the settings under display and then while the screen is Black you can make symbols on it with your finger and open specific apps. For instance if you draw the letter C the dialer will open.
Here's where we'd like the help. My friend was able to find the system app for the gestures in YunOS and all its library files and put it in his rom. When the phone boots we can see that the gestures service is running fine but we don't have the option in the settings to activate the app. Is there a guide we can use on how to transfer a system setting and app like this? Is there another app we can use to trigger the on and off of the app? I am not so advanced to figure this out by myself. All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Slekkas, just an idea which might help:
Do you see "settings->advanced settings->Superuser" in your menu? This entry does not work at all and is useless, but the switch is there. If you can locate the adress of this "Superuser" entry in ROM then you can alter it (without really knowing how it works ). Exchange "Superuser" with "Black-SCR" and you got what you search for: A switch you can use. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately not... I've asked at least at 5 different forums but no one is willing to help. I feel invisible.
I've copied the file :
Gesture in /sys/devices/virtual/input/input3/
Libgesture3Dvstar.so in/system/lib/
Yunos_gestureSetting.apk in /system/app/
and it did nothing...how did you seen that gestures are ok on boot?
On 998 gestures are for sliding in app. There is an apk for active in setting.I think we had to take this apk for active blackscreen gesture, but it is integrated in settings...
no means to port yunos setting on 998...
（sorry for my bad english）
Actually i stay on yunos rom for try and try....
I'm not competent enough but Some developpers are working on it...（Fluffy...）
I worked along with fluffy on this but yunos is very complicated. It has to do something with the smali files
no further investigations here ?
Dear All,
Recently got a Chinese phone from the net running ICS. I set the language to English, but some cuneiform text appears below the name of the people calling me. Is there any way to fix this?

Other than a custom rom or knowing how to decompile the apps and edit out the coding, probably not. Only possible easy solution that might or might not (probably not...) would be to make sure the locale is set to an English speaking country using something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bruce.setlocale
Thanks.
I am not intimidated my code as such (fluent in c++) but it'll take some time to understand android... Any idea which app I should look at? considering android is open source, I can probably patch the change in, create a replacement app and see if that works...

It's most likely either in something like a LocationProvider.apk (/system/apps) or the phone/dialer apk. If you are rooted, I'd try and free the LocationProvider,apk and see if that doesn't help. Try the easy stuff first. But I'd poke around in a thread like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891962 or something similar that deals with this idea on porting Chinese roms to English.
Or you could just be lazy and see if installing another Contact/Dialer app from the Play Store just circumvents the whole deal.
Already tried using a caller id app, its more of a hit and miss... I was wondering what would happen if I just happen to replace the apps you mentioned from those of stock android? does that make sense?
Introduction:
XDictionary adds a quick dictionary search popup button to text you select. The popup is extremely non-intrusive (similar to iOS), and appears next to the Paste/Replace buttons. It then opens the definition of the selected word.
Now, you don't need to bother with opening your dictionary app, typing in the whole word and hitting search - it's essentially just a one-click procedure.
IMPORTANT: after installing, run the app, and allow it to copy dictionary data to external memory. If the app force closes, delete the folder /xdictionary, and reboot. For a proper install, there should be nine files in /xdictionary/dict - the folder will be around 33 megabytes. If all else fails, you can manually make the folders, and download the files from here.
Limitations:
Currently only works in text input fields where Paste/Replace do show up. Making it global for all text is high priority.
Supports only English. Support for other languages may or may not happen, depends on the response.
Bugs:
May break for certain OEM skins or ROMs with heavily modified UIs.
Occasional force closes when you try to copy dictionary data
Source:
https://github.com/vinit-ivar/XDictionary
Future:
Module has been abandoned, as of now; support for custom UIs and ROMs that modify standard AOSP is unlikely. When and if Xposed is ported to Lollipop, I shall start working on porting the module.
Donate:
If you liked the app, and you're feeling generous, do buy the Google Play version! Developing while going through college can be pretty tiring work, and I like the way this app is going.
Download:
The APK is attached; knock yourselves out!
Changelog:
Code:
1.1.0 - dictionary is now offline.
1.0.0 - added support for Toast (donate) and popup windows.
0.9.0 - initial version.
Great idea man will def try and let you know.

Awesome idea. Support for the dictionary.com app would be the best place to start, IMO (it's the most popular, and their widget is great). Merriam-Webster and Oxford English also have apps. If you figure this out, you could also extend it to search Wikipedia, which would be a fantastic idea too.
I don't know nothin 'bout programming or porting, but something similar to the way those Words with Friends cheat apps have a built-in dictionary search might be something to look in to.
Looks like a great app. Just took the leap and purchased through Google Play because of all the potential features mentioned in the reddit thread.
Upon installation though it does not appear to work?
Perhaps I misunderstood the functionality of this module so could you give me a scenario to try to test? I'm not given the option to define when selecting text in Chrome(address bar), or Hangouts (text input field).
I'm running SlimKat ROM with their gapps.
Not working here either on 4.0.4 stock S3. tested many apps.
Lol. Very nice. And useful. Thank you.

Is it possible for the "define" button to not show up next to paste when pasting something that is more than one word?

@perseus0807
Thx for the speedy reply.
Probably no need for screen shot. I simply don't get any extra button or text when highlighting text anywhere whether in a input box or on a page etc. But I get my usual copy/paste etc. Let me know how else I can help.
Cheers
@RedBeardT:
Give me 'til tonight, maybe tomorrow, I'll do my best to have a solution or a fix up.
@themadproducer: okay, scratch what I said earlier; that was for another ROM. Can I have a screenshot anyway? Some manufacturers skin the buttons, which may lead to the problems.
Good, will wait for installed dicts support, Thanks!

This isn't working but i really hope it does asap. I'm on xperia u AOSX 4.4.3 pure aosp.
I'm using this module on rooted Stock LG E970. The define button does appear in text selection menu but it's overlapping with the other button (select all) in that menu.
This is not dev's fault at all. LG has modified the system heavily like other OEMs. I'm attaching the screenshot, but if dev needs any other device/ROM specific information like systemui.apk etc, I'll happily provide that.

Thank you for understanding! Actually, there is something ROM specific I do need - the frameworks/base/core/java/android/widget/Editor.java file. I'm not sure if it'll be present in all ROMs, but I'd love it if you had a look.

Does this imply that an update of the module will be required with each update of the ROM?
Hello folks,
Now Playing feature on the Pixel 2 is awesome. It works very well, but it keeps no track of the songs identified. Hence I present you Now Playing Tracker. An app to keep track of all songs identified.
Features:
1. Once you grant notification access, forget about the app, all the songs identified will be ready for you when you come to the app.
2. Mark the songs you really like as favorites.
3. Save location to each identified song. (Map view comes in the next update)
4. Export a list of all songs as CSV. Open it up in Excel or Sheets and you can see the location and the date each song was identified.
5. Clear all data or clear just the non favorites.
6. Clean material design implementation.
7. Minimal battery usage since location is requested from the OS. Android gives requesting apps it last known location hence the app does not use any GPS or WIFI for location.
For all the devs out there, I am a junior Android dev and have written this app completely in Kotlin. It was a great learning experience and I am in love with the language.
For future updates:
1. Map View
2. Night Mode
If you have any feature request, hit me up on reddit or email me. (Email listed on Play Store) Thanks for the support and hope you guys enjoy the app!
I am not allowed to post links yet, but my app is called Now Playing Tracker and its the one with the orange icon!
