Default Changing the Locale Setting

Guys,

At first I'd like to thank to all developers releasing us great firmware. I have a question; how can I configure or edit the Locale settings?

I have seen many Locale's on The Dude's edition, I wonder how can it be done?

Thank you in advance,

I would like to know... can we add Locale's? I am using the JF1.5 build and I only see english--- no biggie, I can just add hebrew (although it does remove chinese) by adding the dejavu fonts. I would just like to be able to choose a locale... like the regular folks.

Just to potentially bring this issue back out there, I am also interested in this. I have spent the last 4-5 hours scouring the internet with google trying to figure out how to add locales to builds, but I have not succeeded. I love the JF build, all that I am missing is Japanese Local as some of the apps look horrible when localized to English and there is no way to force an app to load in a specific language.

I recently started a new thread on this:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...hlight=locales

What I have discovered is:
There is an app, called Custom Locales, that allows you to add new locales. You can either compile it from source, or run the emulator and adb pull it out.
I would try it, but eclipse no longer works on my ubuntu box, so I'll have to find another way.

Default CustomLocale.apk

So I was able to extract the custom locale app from the emulator... here it is:

hope this helps someone, somehow!
