The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* Every Locale

market download Change the locale (language / country / variant) of your Android device. That's all. This app does one thing and does it well.

Note: This app will not work as-is for Android 4.2 or later. Since Android 4.2 the permission required to change the locale has been restricted to system apps only. It's possible to give the app permission if you have a rooted device either by granting the permission with the 'pm' command or by moving the apk from /data/apps to /system/apps. An app like "/system/app mover" might make this easier: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover

There are no ads. The only permission required is CHANGE_CONFIGURATION, which is needed to change the locale.

Take note that if a locale is not supported by your phone or your app then you may not notice any change.

Feedback and suggestions for improvement are most welcome.
