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 ?
and could you please explain this : forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646595
What is it about? Do add rtl languages support similar, too?

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 :
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/305926/htc-desire-root-update/
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.
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

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.

Hello everyone!
I have the usual problem with the system limiting my SMSs to 70 characters when using the Greek alphabet.... Someone suggested on the Smart Keyboard forum (http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=970&p=4484#p4484) that HTC has solved this. But for me, the problem persists in a weird way:
-Of course I type in all caps
-If I use any letters that are specific to the Greek alphabet (Ψ,Ω,Δ,Λ,Σ etc) the limit stays at 160 characters
-If I type a letter that is common to the latin alphabet it drops to 70 characters!
It's strange, but I haven't seen much talk about this issue here, though it was a big topic in WinMo discussions (WM has the same problem).
So:
-Can someone verify whether or not HTC has fixed this?
-Does anyone have a suggestion?
Using RevolutionHD 2.09 with 1.72.405.3 .
Thanks!

Anyone?.... I also tried the IME mod v27 to no avail...
Goodmorning my friend,
Unfortunately my friend you have to use the ACE HELLAS solution for this, which is a "top secret" info, they will never help you out with this.
Had the same problem with my previous phone (HTC Legend), and ended up using SlideIT with Greek add-on, which I remember that worked for SMS (ofcourse always caps). Give it a try and let me know.
In case you really need Greek, and you are willing to come back to ACE HELLAS stock, I can Nandroid mine when it comes back from service and upload the ROM for you.

Good morning Kostantinos,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply... I can't believe we're in the same s#!+ with Ace Hellas once more - it was the exact same situation some 4 years ago when I got my TytnII! Of course this is not the sign of a serious company (speaking both for HTC and ACE) since the fix should have found its way upwards and be included in the stock HTC ROMs.... but I digress.
I'm running a custom ROM, so I wouldn't want to go back to a stock one, but I guess that this could be rectified by just grabbing the relevant apk(s)?
Also,thanks for the SlideIt kb. I had tried it, but didn't remember it fixes the problem - will try again.
Thanks again, and have a great day,
Themis
I will let you know regarding APKs after I root my DHD, as soon as I receive it back from service (the blur picture left part camera issue).
Until then, you can also "dig" information and try the new Swype beta for DHD as well, but I dont think it supports Greek at the moment (not sure). If I find anything I will send you a link.
Yes, the problem is really frustrating, but at least the WM problem was a single HTC_ime.cab file, which worked in almost all devices. In Android it is a real pain in the arse!!! That is why I still stick with the stock ROM.
After 3 years of upgrading Android OSs, this problem should have been fixed generically, from the box.
OK, you can try here... NOT tested, but you have chances to work
Thanks - I'll take you up on your offer, so please do forgive me if I bother you with a PM in a few days
Swype doesn't have Greek - at least didn't have the last time I tried it, so it's a no-go, but SlideIt is good enough I think - it's just that it's totally different and i happen to like the HTC Kyboard
Was it an IME cab for WM? I seem to remember it was a keyboard cab. And it seems to be the same here - there are messaging apps (call me Handcent) that solve it with the stock keyboard, but there are also third-party kb's that solve it with the stok messaging app! So it seems it can be fixed two-ways... If I could help in any way with digging into the ROM please do let me know!
Oh, just got a notification about your second post in a row - wow, it includes Greek! Lemme grab it, quick
Thanks once more mate, it's strange how not more people discuss this issue (time to visit the ACE Hellas fora again after several years I think! ).
Cheers

Ahhh yes I remembered the problem with Swype: it FCs whenever you switch languages... so kinda useless
[edit] and, also, it doesn't solve the 70-char issue, it's exactly the same. Gonna try SLideIt.
[Edit2] ..aaand SlideIt does the same as well.

My dear friend can you send me the HTC_ime.cab file or tell me where can I find it? I have the exact same problem with my wm6.5 phone! I don't want to use the solution with the remapped keyboards!

Probably a stupid answer but try adding each word into the dictionary lol. Or might be fixed in an update

Geeeez ... i'm just using swiftkey x. Thks for the answer anyway. Maybe it doesn't include Portuguese corrections, only the keyboard itself?

Hello,
as my old Xperia Pro gets slower and slower, I imported a LG Optimus F3Q from the US, as this phone isn't available in europe yet.
Now I came across an issues, which I cannot solve by myself. Maybe someone here has a good idea.
The physical keyboard is QWERTY. When I hold some keys longer, a window will pop up to give me the choice of additional characters (like long on u will give me an ü). That's fine, that way was it on the Xperia Pro as well.
Now, I am used to QWERTZ, which is common in Germany. When typing quickly, I will mess up with z and y a thousand times.
I can change the keyboard style to German/QWERTZ in the phone's settings. Z and Y will be at the place, where I am used to. Fine so far! But.... (there's always a but): No window will pop up, when pressing the keys a long time. Instead of a popup to select Ü, U will be written as long as I press the key (like this: uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu). That's quite anoying! I tried all the other keyboard layouts, none but the English/QWERTY keyboard will show the popup.
Is there any chance to get äöüßéè ect. with the QWERTZ layout? Do I have to press some special key same time as "U" for example? Or is some specific app available for this issue?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers,
doclouis
P.S.: I don't think, it's a specific F3Q issue, but for all phones with a physical keyboard. If someone found a solution for some othe phone, I will try it out!
Hello,
I haven't found a Qwertz-Keyboard-App that runs on my F3Q, but finally I got a solution: I found an App tp rearrange the keymap and simply switched Z und Y keys.
Still there is this popup-issue. When I hold a key longer, a popup will appear to give me the choice of accent letters (äöüßéè etc.). Still, the line of accent letters is not in the order I want them to.
So, is anybody out there, who can give me a hint, how to change the sequence of accent letters in the popup???
Cheers,
doclouis
Hallo
As I'm a german guy too this is interesting for me as well.
Unfortunately my F3Q hasn't arrived yet but I would start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2804980
It is for the Samsung Captivate Glide device so it may or may not work for the LG F3Q but it is a startin point so I would give it a try.
Let me know if you had any success (or not)..

well you can give starting aid for publishing it in Europe by using the US of a certain online aution site. That's what I did to get it to Nothern Germany. There are Canadian online sellers as well who will sell and ship to europe an unlocked F3Q.

To be honest it is the second one I bought. The first one is in use by my wife and the new one will be a development device only. I will try to port AOSP/CM to this device. Check out my signature for all the details

Hello fellow physical keyboard lovers,
I just received a nearly new (well, refurbished, but looks like new) LG Optimus F3Q. And, evidently, I too am interested in having a working QWERTZ keyboard and would welcome german localization.
Did you - over the time that has passed since - solve those questions or just change the mobile phone?
Youtube shows several videos of people allegedly running Nougat or Oreo on this mobile, but the links are either not working or have been removed due to (I assume) malware-spreading. Am I right in not believing this to be real?
F3Q is rooted, but nothing else has been altered so far.
I am currently using a Vernee Mars pro as "main" device, and was using an Elephone P8000 until recently.
