2) there is a way to modify it?if yes, how? ( some link/tut will be perfect )
3) is the source code of the gingerbread stock keyboard available?

Hey guys.
I have just received my new HTC Desire as an early upgrade from my service provider.
At the moment I am still learning the device and it just rocks. Love the phone.
I have a few questions about it at the moment though.
A. How do I download APPs from my PC then install them tot he phone?
B. when in an application on the phone - how do I quite it or switch to a different one easily?
C. The phone has 2.1 android on it. I would like to root it and update to 2.2. I have downloaded a custom rom - but where do I go from there?
I appreciate all the help
Thanks guys!
P.S I am in South Africa if that helps?

perhaps, you should do your homework more and much more. Please read the manual first, then read threads here.
btw, quick answer to your question:
A. with android, use market or apps brain to download and install apps. dun need to use PC anymore.
B. press and hold home button to switch apps. Press home once will show ur homescreen.
C. Read the articles on Desire Android Development in this forum at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=628
Enjoy ur Desire

Hello all,
i joined this forum to help me decide which mobile to buy and i bought in the end the awesome Desire.
I am from Egypt so i bought it from there , it was released here on second of October.
it has built-in Arabic support in text input window, it doesn't show in the normal keyboard input screen but to activate Arabic language i need to do the following which i got in a reply from htc support here in Egypt
Hold & long press at any empty space of text input box, you will see a message to change input keyboard.
Select the other input method & press ok.
You will see the Arabic keyboard.

i want to help in making Android more popular, in the middle east, and since Google refuse to release official support for Arabic, i guess the only way i can do that by offering my mobile to you to see if we can extract the Arabic support plugin/software and be able to install it on any android based mobile.
i used to be a power user in Symbian but now i am a newbie in android so anyone interested in helping me ?
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Regards,
Ahmad
Salam Ahmad,
Sorry to bust your bubble bro....
But I have already rooted that ROM (leaked) and added A2SD+ 2 months ago
check it out

Froyo with Arabic support would be a great plus!
Nice job
But what i want is to be able to extract the Arabic addon and be able to add it to any other ROM
like for example i want very much to instal the Desire HD Rom on my Desire but i will be missing the arabic support
So i am looking for help to extract the arabic support addon and be able to install it freely
is this even possible ?
Hi
Maybe you should be in contact with this guy (Ayman): http://ardoid.com/?p=41
He added Arabic support to Froyo (but of course with some bugs), maybe you could help.
the android version is 2.1, they told me 2.2 will be available next month through OTA.
Sorry, can't help you with the keyboard, but am very happy to hear that we will finally be getting Froyo - in November???
HTC would not give me a date when I asked!
Salaam.
Guys i found the arabic support intalled inside the Application Manager ad it is named "Arabic Keyboard" and it is version 2
is it possible by any mean to extract the apllication to be able to install it on any other HTC or even Android mobile ??
Look for the .apk under system/app/ and data/app/, it will be there. Then pull it using adb when you're in Recovery. I can try and push that apk on mine and see if it works.
Arabic support should entail more than that though but a keyboard that even just writes would be very helpful to me too.

sorry but i am still a newbie regadring android
Can you please tell me what is adb and how to enter recovery ???
Hi,
You can get the .apk file with easy way. Install Androzip from the market, open it, it will show directly the files on SD card. Press the arrow up in the menu to leave SD card and navigate to system files. Open system folder : System -->> app -->> here you have all .apk files
Hold & long press on the .apk file you want, -->> copy, you can see now 2 new options in the menu, cancel and copy here.
Go now to home in the menu and you can paste it in ur sd card -->> copy here.
thats all you have the .apk file on your SD card.
good luck.
Unfortunately i can't find it in this folder
i found HTC_IME which i understand is the interface for the touch keyboard made by htc, can this be the one we need ??? its size is 4.2 MB
using "Android System Info" i found the name of the Arabic Keyboard software.
com.parfield.inputmethod.arabic
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but still can't find it inside /system/app
any suggestions ?
Like mentioned, look in system/app/ and data/app/. The name might be different.

i'm sorry but i can't speak/write englich well....
i'm using my defy in South Korea.
i can get opensource from https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/frs/do/viewSummary/projects.moto_defy/frs
and the version's name is JDSKT_U3_02.18.0
i hope that file is .sbf file.
but it wasn't.
how can i build(compile?) .sbf by using this source?
Please help me. or just link i can learn.
Thank you.
p.s - if you are sufficiently generous,
plz correct my sentence(letter?) and grammar!!
i'm studying english and i ready to learn about everything in this forum!
Hi
Hi, im not an expert and dont speak good english.
I think you need first open the .sbf with SBFrecalc or similar, after you need mount the images in linux. Et voila you can play with the code
I would also like to be able to build fw from their sources.
But it seems that DEFY has locked loader and it won't load our (unsigned) kernel. Am I right?
Can we modify at least frameworks/stock apps?
How can we build them after modification?
It would be also great to play with kernel sources if possible

Still no answer?
It seems that no one has answer the question that how to build .sbf file from the opensource package provided by moto.
I don't speak either...
Hi,
I'm posting this here, mainly because it involves new ROM flashing.
I spent nearly a month "converting" my WFS..
So, I hope you'll find this helpful..
Follow the next steps:
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader
(Thanks to theq86 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199)
2. Second install this stock ROM
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_ARA_2.26.415.2_Radio_47.23e.35.30 38H_7.57.39.10M_release_262618_signed.exe - 158.5 MB
It's an Arabic ROM and it supports fully English.
The big advantage of this ROM is that it has "Right to Left" correction built in.
(Thanks to kasra_Qeshm. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476701)
3. Next step is to install Hebrew keyboard. there are many options.. I personally prefer Keyboard from Android 2.3 (there's also a paid version)
And the Hebrew pack for it Here.
That's it!! You have Hebrew on your WFS!!
Some more goodies:
1. You might want to root you WFS - One Root is an easy and great tool for this task.
(Thanks to rezo609 - Original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678421)
2. "Bubble like" WildChild Messages app - This one is an add-on the require your phone to be rooted in order to flash it. You can download Here.

3. BEATS AUDIO
(Thanks to apherio. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587286)
That's it for today.. Hope you'll enjoy!
One last thing.. I only gathered the information and made some tests to see it's all working.. but if you find some of this helpful I think it would be nice go to the original posts and press the "thanks" button..
Cheers!
Maoz.
great to see how it works.. I thought it required more than just flashing. Anyway it's goot that I've got the idea to use the Arabic Rom for our needs.
anyway now I just need to figure out how to add darktremor support so I can use this rom with A2SD GUI and not worry about memory.
btw, what is the memory usage that you see with this ROM?
After installation I had 119MB free internal memory
You might have a problem running the RUU*.exe file since the wildfire's CID is not compatible.
I've found that extracting the boot.img and system.img from the rom.zip (found in window user's temp dir) and flashing manually is a good option as well:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
good luck.
if anyone comes across the VMOBILE's rom (i've seen one with full hebrew) please shout out.
http://iandroid.co.il/forum/topic81886.html
I've got the vmobile rom. the problem is that it doesn't support A2SD and you ran out of space pretty quickly.
I realized that we all need a thread like AllInOne thread. And started to make a post like this. I hope you like it.

Also I wouldn't even mention click to root apps/programs here, maybe instead link the xda wiki
Probably should add some scripts/mods specific to the vision here like kebezies aroma installer for nik3r's data swap
Or some of the keyboard changes

I'm not sure those rooting apps will work with the desire z... have u tested them? I rooted a long while ago, so i might not be up to date with rooting stuff, but afaik to root our device it had be done manually, or ud have a big risk of bricking... As for the other tools, i think having a link to the htc drivers is the most usefull... but anyways, thanks for caring and putting this stuff up, might come in handy some day
