Works very well, if you don't forget to execute the command to give permission to change the configuration. An option to suppress the TOAST would be very useful for me.

It works, but there is a pitfall. If you want to pass the country code, you have to use two dashes (i.e. en--US or en--DE). Also, it's no problem that it won't ask for permissions, the description explains how to set those using adb. Don't use the app without adb. Build yourself a script.

Awesome, very useful. Is there way to call the intent without displaying toast? I am using it for screenshots in different languages and I have to add delay to wait until it disappears.
