On LineageOS with `adb` how to set language regional preference?
Jan 18, 5:10pm
To set the language and regional preferences on a LineageOS device using adb, you can use the settings command to modify the system settings directly. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Check Current Language Settings
First, check the current language and locale settings:
bash
adb shell settings get system system_locales
This will return a string like en-US or fr-FR.
2. Set a New Language and Region
Use the following command to set a new language and region (e.g., French for France):
bash
adb shell settings put system system_locales fr-FR
Replace fr-FR with your desired locale (e.g., en-US, es-ES, de-DE).
3. Verify the Change
Check if the change was applied:
bash
adb shell settings get system system_locales
The output should now reflect your new setting.
4. Reboot (if necessary)
Some changes may require a reboot to take full effect:
bash
adb reboot
Notes:
Locale Format: Use the standard language-region format (e.g., en-US, fr-FR, es-ES).
Multiple Locales: If you want to set multiple locales (fallback languages), separate them with commas:
bash
adb shell settings put system system_locales fr-FR,en-US
LineageOS Version: This method works for most LineageOS versions, but some custom ROMs may have additional requirements.
