Changing the fonts will help to recognize Arabic letters, but it will display words as disconnected letters!
We need to know how can we edit the kernel and libs to solve this issue.
I read several threads about reshape letters to connect letters in single word but unfortunately I didn't know how to start
If anyone knew how to start developing Android please help us.
Regards

try morelocale from market

Have you used the modified package pointed to in post #4
I am now downloading 'TSD_HD_ADDON_INSTALL_FIXED_JAN7.ZIP'. I hope that's the right one. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much. The installer works. And now I have the Quran running on my HD. May you be given a MIGHTY and PERPETUAL reward. Thanks again.
I get the message "your license for running mobidiv products on this device has expired..." Yet, there doesn't appear any obvious way to install a license/key. The citglobal.mobi website isn't much help.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thank you a lot.

Check out "WIKI"
Salam Brother Taiseer; can I install this app. on my HTC HD?
Thanks
Mazen
I would love to use this package, since my parents are going to move to SA
This would come in handy when I pay them a visit
kbnordin and taiseer:
The software that you downloaded, does it give arabic support? My wife wants the Quran and prayer schedule on her phone as well as the ability to recieve sms messages in arabic? I bought her the phone from the UK and HTC will not let me install the mobidiv package that is available....is there a solution for this?
I feel like a nitwit, but I am not sure what to do with the files....there are about 6 cabinet files that downloaded and when I open the Windows Mobile Device Center and go to install new programs, they are not located there...when I click on one of the files it opens another folder...when I click on setup it asks me where I want to extract but my computer will not extract anything...
any help please??!!

Hi bro
if you can read arabic, here is the two main topics foryou to get the "Arabic Support" so that you can read arabic and receives arabic SMS.
the first one by TSD:
The thread also contains the Arabic Bundle of applications (Dictionary, Quran, Prayers, Calendar). Make sure you read before u start downloading or installing anything
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=137802
The second one is by taiseer999
it's a perfect one too.

Hey Dr. Basem:
Unfortunately I cannot read arabic. My wife can but she doesn't understand how these things work. I downloaded the files from the URL taiseer provided:\
http://www.mediafire.com/?jvxzkz1ngzn
So, then I unzipped the folder and I have about 6 cabinet files...
I am just unsure about what to do next. Does this require that I backup the phone entirely before I install?
Do I install these things just like any other software, through the Windows Mobile Device Center?
When installed, I/She just wants to be able to view arabic text but not have everything displayed in arabic.
The last point can be addressed later, once the stuff is installed....I just want to get the software installed...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Fully Arabized HTC Hero Completed (Thanks Ayman)

Hello All,
It looks like Ayman at Ce4arabs.com and owner of http://code.google.com/p/arabicandroid/ has did it i have finally with me a fully arabized Hero. The OS is in English put Arabic is supported everywhere, I have checked the following software and i can confirm it works in:
Native SMS Client
Facebook app
web Browser
Warning:
Please do a nandroid backup before you attempt anything.
Nobody is responsible if you brick or damage your phone
Please contribute to this cause and approach Ayman for contribution/credits/thanks I am only a messenger.
Ok this is how it is accomplished.
Wipe Phone and Flash CKdroid 1.5 ROM (Kagu should also work but not tested maybe some one can confirm)
After Flashing the ROM proceed to the download page in Ayman Project ( http://code.google.com/p/arabicandroid/ ) and click downloads.
Download " update_ar2_n1_corrSkia.zip " and flash it
You guys can also use morelocale 2 (in the market to change the region to Arabic) and anysfotkeyboard to type Arabic.
That’s it. I will be happy to help if you guys need it Please provide feedback to help other members & Ayman out.
This is excellent!, I'm going to give it a try with kagudroid 1.1 and feedback!
Yes it's great work from Ayman, we need to support from xda-developers dev to add this Arabize to their ROMs like Mr. Adwin.
Regards
Just to confirm, I'm run KaguDroid and I've used libwebcore for the browser for a few days and installed the full pack 5 minutes after I got his tweet and it works flawlessly.
In fact, this is the only reason I upgraded to KaguDroid. It didn't work for me on 1.5.
Many thanks to Ayman Alsanad for his great work. I'll be sure to drop him a donation, it's well earned
Awesome!!
I tried extracting the libraries from his previous ROM and put it in Espresso/Hybrid and signed it .. didn't work !!
I think SenseUI (even Espresso's SenseUI) needs HTC modified libraries !!
Anyway, I'll try making a SenseUI ROM with these libraries.. or with Launcher2
but let me finish finals first :S

MAXO .. glad to see you here .. i really hate the fact that we can only use the arabizer with vanilla android .. i mean honestly .. SENSE UI rocks .. it's a candy to the eye + can't live with out the people and the messages widgets .. anyway, hopefully they can find a way to apply the arabizer to modaco .. atleast then we'll have a stable , sense UI rom to use

I'm going to give the New ROM VILLAIN a try and see if the arabizer works on it, that should fix the problem since its sense UI with 2.1!

I can confirm that SMS Arabize work on these ROMs but any Internet apps (web browser, Steal, Market and GMail) FC!
I can live with Arabize SMS only, but I could not solve the libwebcore.so?!
Hope some devs help us with that.

Many thanks to Ayman for his heroic work , I would like to try it , but I really love sense UI and I don't want to give it up .
Are there anymore updates coming or is this final? Arabic texts are not fully connected but better than nothing
HTC Sense UI with arabic support
OK quick update,
I have started a small project to enable Arabic on sense UI. Yes that means that you can use madaco ROMs also as well as original ROMs. Cool huh. So far i am collecting source and editing them going well but slow.
I am also changing the HTC keyboard to type Arabic (this can take a While).
I did also notice some problems we reading Arabic with English numbers and that the Arabic text is always left aligned (actually i believe that this is the problem) so i will have a look on this also.
I hope can post back soon.

I'm working on that too.. if you want, we can collaborate
anyway, yesterday I added Ayman's libraries with "Villain 1.1" and signed it..
it booted, and it reads Arabic fine .. but the Browser, and Market FC !!
I guess HTC modified the LibWebCore, not just the Browser..
I tweeted Lox today asking if HTC released their libraries source code so I can compile the "HTC version" of LibWebcore (redo Ayman's work) .. but he didn't respond yet
anyway, since it's Final exams period, I'll focus on them first..
after that I'll try to solve the browser and Market issue

Do you know what is must weird thing, it's if you upload all Ayman libs to ROM with HTC sense the phone is work but as you faced any web apps FC and if you pushed libwebcore.so from original ROM and leave libskiagl.so and libskia.so the phone will not start at all! it will hang at Hero logo!
So I don't know if these libs are connected together somehow or not?!
I did a lot of research and I couldn't find an answer.
Can we share our experience on this problem?
Regards
One more thing, try the Arabizer with any 2.1 ROM like Vanilla and Hikara because I found 1.5 ROM doesn't have libskia.so and 2.1 ROM does.

I'm with you on this !!
we want an open knowledge and communication, not like other Arabic projects
I'll post any information I found regarding this ROM. and I hope all here will do the same.
and all my future ROMs and work will be Open Source and free (GPL). and if we collaborate on a ROM we must publish it as "XDA arabic community" or something like that
anyway, for now I have to finish some projects to start studying for Finals.
so see ya in two weeks .. wish me luck
OK I'll start:
Android 1.5 with HTC Sense (Modaco 3.1):
with libwebcore.so:
- Phone hang at Hero logo and it wouldn't boot at all.
with libskia.so:
- Nothing happen, because libskia.so is not included in Android 1.5
Android 2.1 with HTC Sense ([email protected] 9.5):
with libwebcore.so:
- Phone hang at Hero logo and it wouldn't boot at all.
with libskia.so:
- Phone hang at Hero logo and it wouldn't boot at all.
with libwebcore.so and libskia.so:
- Phone boot with no problem, Messaging read Arabic very well BUT any web apps like Browser, Market and Gmail FC!
-----
I googled several times to find any HTC Sense source code or it's structure but no luck .
So in my opinion we have to choose one of following Ways:
Way one:
- To find HTC sense source code to know why compiled libs not working.
Way two:
- Try to solve the FC apps.
Thanks
by the way MaXo64. good luck with your finals.

Excellent work HishamN, your work saved us alot of flashing , I think trying to sort out the FC's should be much easier than actually trying to fix or modify the htc coding.

Hebrew on Desire?

Hi Guys,
Is there any chance to get Hebrew Fonts support on the deisre. I dont want the whole OS to be in Hebrew. Accessing Hebrew Websites, and reading heabrew mails/sms would be just perfect and more the anough.
Is it possible?
thx
Please keep me informed in case of success - I have the same interest
I promise the same in my turn
I only got Hebrew on my G1 by rooting it. Then you could upload modified fonts with the Hebrew characters included.
I guess it's the same here, get root and then upload fonts. Hopefully, rooting is on the way!
I don't know any other way of adding the Hebrew fonts.
I apologize......meant for general.
Moved to proper forum and re-opended for discussion.
In case you haven't heard, you can now root the Desire and apply Hebrew fonts:
tinyurl . com / desireroot
I've rooted but haven't tried the fonts yet.
Thanks Mikey for moving the thread back in right place.
Regarding the fonts.
I have also rooted my device and flashed an update with hebrew fonts. Works like a charm now, finally!
If someone needs further info, just let me know.

Hi
I have the r1-hebrew-desire-signed zip file, can you write what should be done to apply the fonts, after the root is done.
excellent news
I should get my Desire on the 12/5.
Will play with it for a while then root and apply the Hebrew fonts.
But, I have a question. Why on earth do we have to root the phone for that?
Why there isn't any official languages support?
If its done in order to reduce the ROM size they can give it in additional package
It looks like HTC/Google are loosing market here (although we fans will continue to buy them)
I heard that Android 2.2 will have this support but as I know HTC, we will get update after a long while (Hero gets its update only now after 1/2 a year or mor...)
Although im sure we will find a lots of modified ROMS here and on MODACO that will let us do what ever you want.

Hi,
where do you get the Hebrew fonts? can you post a link?
Thanks
Hebrew on Desire without root: Install the "Il News Droid" app from the market. As a side effect you get Hebrew fonts installed.
I'm almost certain I was able to view a site in Hebrew the other day on my Desire. Using just your standard desire with official 2.2 update.

NOW half support for arabic on great FRX06 ..soon full support

hay all want full arabic support,,
soon we will finish develop the full arabic support for our AWESOME version FRX06
we now fix facebook twitter etc but still modify something from lib files to complete arabic in browsers ,,
all that effort doing by DR. AHMED from HD2 thread
wait for us
anyone want our half support tell me
remember :
i mean by support that all letters connected now and change arabic font to good one
Pretty sure Arabic support is already built in to Android 2.x. Go to the Market and install "MoreLocale 2". Run it, and add a Custom Locale.
For the Label, use "Arabic" (or whatever you like). For the Language, press the "ISO639" button and scroll thru to Arabic. (Or just enter "ar"). For the Country, press the "ISO3166" button and scroll to find your country. Leave the Variant blank. Press Add. Done.
Also, this question has nothing to do specifically with FRX06 or even Touch Pro 2. It certainly has nothing to do with Android Development/Porting for the Rhodiums. I believe this thread should be moved to the Questions and Answers forum.

Well then, So the conclusion here, is that (Arabic enabled) option is the required goal. and I think that for twitter, Facebook and whats app applications, something should be handled in "Framework.jar" for Arabic language to appear appropriately, I dam not sure whether there should be any amendments in the library files or not.

[ROM][MIUIv5][JB-4.2.2] MIUIandroid 3.6.28 for t0lteatt - Korean language input

[ROM][MIUIv5][JB-4.2.2] MIUIandroid 3.6.28 for t0lteatt
hello, i tried to post within the above rom page, but i don't have permission to... so i'm posting it here
I installed MIUIandroid 3.6.28 rom and in love with the cool effects and screen goodies but only problem i'm having is the language input where Korean is not an option. I will need to type in Korean to communicate with my family and friends but input options does not have Korean available. Tried to search google and in this forum but no luck (specific for Galaxy note 2 device which i'm using)
Does anyone know how to add Korean language onto this ROM after I install the rom? will future update have Korean language on it?
I love to use this ROM but without the language support I can't use it.
thanks in advance and for awesome site!! (i've been reading xda for long but never posted until now, ^_^)
I'm not the dev, but, I cant imagine that he would be including Korean language pack, since he speaks english..
There might be a way of adding Korean language to it, since it is a Chinese based rom, but I do not know how that is done..
Maybe someone else can help you
