Hi;
I wanna to buy my first smartphone.
and after some researches I aim at HTC Desire and HTC HD2.
another notice is that my language is Persian (Farsi) and It's a right to left language. Does HTC Desire support my language plus English?
As you Know in a web cruise. We face to a lot of languages so it's better that they seem correctly in phone screen
Is there anyway to solve this problem with Desire OS (Android 2.1)
And should I Buy HD2 instead of Desire? Why?
Also PLEASE CONTRIBUTE IN THE POLL
Regards ...
A google search says it doesn't, not without installing it anyway (you need to be able to use ADB to do that).
Having said that, I'm pretty sure I have arabic in my settings menu (which google search also says isn't avaliable) =/

But I heard that I can do it by connect desire to my computer and go to it's root and something else
Thus shouldn't I buy Desire ?

Hi,
regarding your poll, I think the HD2 is too big for a mobile device.
regarding the Arabic/Farasi support (and all other right-to-left languages), ... Google android does support this (right-to-left rendering), but it does NOT show those languages by default (natively) meaning you cannot read Arabic characters (by default) in Web/SMS/emails, .. etc
however there are some Arabic developers that made that happen in android 1.6 and I believe they will work on it for the android 2.1 also.

If you are not very familiar with rooting (and do not want to be ), and you HAVE to HAVE Farsi in your phone, than go for the HD2, buy it from your country so it would come with Farsi by default.
BTW, in Google android issues, the number two ranked issue on the Android list is "arabic (and other right-to-left) language support for android". many people are asking for it.

Very Thanks Dear Irkan
I want to know more about rooting and Its manner If you can please ...
And that Is rooting possible for android 2.1 now? If it isn't ; so what's the duty ?
Thanks a lot
well, .. it is possible (the Nexus one has been rooted) but i think (and many other think the same) that the Desire rooting (even though that it has Android 2.1 as Nexus 1) the procedure of rooting might be a little different, but it will happen when the device reaches the developers. and we are going to find out.
My best answer to you is to wait for the device to reach the devs here (probably 2 weeks from now) and see when the device is rooted, after that you can safely order the Desire, and follow the procedure of rooting the desire and then apply the Arabization (and Farsi-zation if I may add)
check this thread
Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one.2 March 2010
the procedure of Arabizing the desire will be almost the same as the Nexus One (more or less), but the rooting process might be different, thats why you should wait and see how exactly the Desire is going to be rooted ...
Thanks Thanks Thanks Dear irkan

Is This process a legal implementation for android whereas it's open source?

I do believe it's legal, but rooting your device will void your warranty.

Thank you very much,
But why will it void the warranty as it legal?
and Do you know that I should ask who (specific developer) to add 4 letters to Arabic languages to become Persian?
Thanks a lot
It will void the warranty because they need a scapegoat They need something to point to if your phone breaks, so they don't have to fix it for free Plus there's the off chance that you actually do break it by doing something root-related
Hi,
Has HTC Desire been root after this period ?

Unlike this forum, There is a seeker topic in modaco forum to root HTC Desire :

Hi,
As HTC Desire was rooted ; How can we add Farsi/Arabic language to it?
Is It completely similar to add Arabic/Farsi Language on nexus one ?
Kind Regards...
Check http://WWW.handheldusers.com/forum ,I have added some updates regarding desire and Persian support
It supports part of the whole thing,
There is preview custom Rom supporting Arabic/persian which can be found at modaco

has anyone tried the app mirsal from the market?
I don't read arabic (i can barely read and write English, i grew up in south London....!) so i wouldn't know if it's working right or not, but i've heard it's supposed to be quite good.
EDIT: turns out it is for SMS only. Sorry.
Hey guys, I got my EVO like a month ago and almost immediately I rooted it.
I will like to know a way to add hebrew fonts to my phone.I saw that in the market they have an "Israel Pack" app, but the comments say that it replaces the english fonts for the hebrew ones and I just want to add it so it recognizes hebrew on a browser and also to use it on the keyboard.
I saw there is a way to do it on the hero(since I'm a new member I can't post any links) but is based on 1.5 I think and as of now Im using 2.1 "OMJ_EVO_2.1_Eclair_v1.6r" (I'll use 2.2 but the cameras are important for me) and I don't think that method will work in the same way for the EVO.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Greeting, I am expecting my ACE coming weekend, with full eagerness. Anybody managed to replace font files for this release to support Arabic language.
Hi. Its support Arabic but don't have rtl support yet. We need root for that...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You can use a program called 'Mirsal' in the meantime. It can read and write arabic text messages and it supports RTL. You do not even need root to install it!
For some reason it is no longer on the Android market, so you will have to google it.

I don't know about numbers, but on my friends HTC Wildfire it can read and write arabic from right to left fine.
Appreciate your reply, however, the app [Mirsal] is just a workaround to the issue. We would like to incorporate the Arabic fonts natively on the device, like what was done on the Nexus One scenario. Actually latest news on N1, they added the Arabic support part of Cyanogen ROMs
Even if someone builds CM6 for the DHD, you won't be able to flash it, since we don't have full root

Thread moved to General.
Why don't you wait for it to hit the middle east? HTC said this so that costumers will get Arabic support unlike people who will buy the phone outside which won't be supported.This was a response from HTC MEA to someone who was planning to import the phone from UK

all the issue with the language was misunderstanding.
the froyo and the DHD is sopport hebrew and arabic fonts,
so we can write/read or see websites, sms and users in our language.
i issue is RTL support that missing, for exeple - if we writing numbers
we will see it up side down - 1234 will show as 4321 and so...
mind me for asking, cant we implement RTL VIA RUU like mentioned here?

again and again and again - same answer.
yes it support Arabic front but he don't have LTR.
I'm not sure if this is relevant or not - especially as I'm not using a DHD - but on my Xperia X10 (UK generic 1.6) I use Handcent SMS. My girlfiend is from the UAE and I sometimes send her texts in Arabic and Handcent seems to support both Arabic font and RTL.
So maybe try Handcent SMS (available free on Market).
I appreciate I could be way off the mark here though so apologies if I've caused any confusion.

Froyo supports displaying the Arabic characters but not reshaping them.. so in case you are viewing Arabic text all the letters will be disconnected and not RTL.. hard to read.. in Hebrew as the letters don't need to be reshaped/connected it displays it fine but will get the reversing problem if a number is inserted.....
so the answer for the Arabic is no..

Arabic now is supported by @alsanad
My DHD, bought in Canada, reads Arabic RTL the only problem is that the letters are disconnected. Supposedly Gingerbread will sort this out, whenever it hits the DHD that is.
if you have root you can flash CynogenMod 7 gingerbread and it has full arabic support with connected letters
that's the only one i found so far.
Google gray me
Since we have the TW launcher from it, is it also possible to have the dialer, which I assume doesn't say 'Favourites,' but would ostensibly use the US English spelling?
If it is possible, I'd like to request it.
Here's a thread about using the dialer on the Vibrant which links to the dump (appears to be dead) and pics of the dialer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770589
I like it better. If anyone can post the .apks needed, that would be great.
Nobody thinks this is a good idea but me?
u mean SGS2 4g dialer ?
Just a thought will the release of this phone in the USA have local spelling .
Presuming that the phone apk could be used from that if its as per your language .

Yes, isn't this the ROM from which the new Touchwiz was extracted? I think the official title of the US device is "Epic 4G Touch" and it's this (as I understood) from which we have the latest Touchwiz. From the pics I've seen of the dialer, it also has US English spelling, and I'd prefer that to the old English 'spell it however you want until it sticks' method.
Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch isn't released yet, is it? But where did we get that new TW from?
Those Brits and Canadians, etc. just trampled on the Latin roots of every one of those words. Color, Flavor, Favorites...
If we can get TW from this thread:

What's so different about the dialer?

Primarily, it has proper US English, so it doesn't use "Favourites" as a spelling for Favorites.
Have you found a way to get version of the dialer that uses U.S. English?
No, I haven't. I've had no success.
I have a Galaxy S III (SGH-I747) which supports reading Arabic and typing
but not the system itself.
(The support is of course using applications)
When I send Arabic messages from the device, I am able to type in Arabic
however, the message receiver receives squares and question marks in the messages (????????)
I am thinking of flashing the Middle eastern rom for the I9300
into my Galaxy.
any solutions?? HELP ^_^
What are the risks?? and is it possible?
If you want to brick your phone go right ahead and flash the i9300 rom and smash your phone with a hammer.
Or you could find a language pack.. I am sure one exist..

Listen to the guy who posted before me. Also buy SwiftKey X. You can download Arabic keyboards from it and text with that.
Also the receiver needs a smartphone to read it. Regular phones don't handle it well.

Do not flash the i9300 roms to this phone. You will brick it beyond repair.
