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.

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.

Hello all,
I need a bit of help
I've flashed and rooted the XXJPK as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686
The problem I have is that after I rooted the phone I've done a not-so-smart thing
Without even thinking I replaced the "/system/app/Swype.apk" and "/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so" with the multi-language files from JP1 (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7412595&postcount=73)
To my unpleasant surprise now Swype crashes
Goes without saying that -- in good old hacking tradition -- I didn't backup the original files first
So, the cry for help is:
1) Can some kind soul post the original (above two) Swype files in the XXJPK so at least I have a functioning Swype (even if it doesn't have the swedish language....)
2) Even better -- if a fellow swede (or scandinavian... ) that managed to get the swedish input in Swype in XXJPK, can you please post the files (apk / library) you are using ?
Thanks a bunch in advance for the help !!!
Moving on....
I've managed to find a Swype WVGA version with support for the swedish language (google: Swype WVGA svenska)
I removed the previous existing Swype-relevant files:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/app/Swype.opex
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
After a reboot I managed to installed the .apk version above.
The showstopper now is that I cannot switch to this input method: When I hold on a text entry field and selecting "Input Method" only "Samsung Keyboard" shows up (but no Swype)
Any input ?
(And applogies to the forum admins as this become off-topic for ROM development -- however, the fact that "Swype" is missing from "input method" should be vaguley relevant . Thanks for understanding)

I use the the JP1 file. You find the link to download on Swedroid. Its in the Galaxy S forum.Some thread about Q&A. Good Luck
It worked for me with JPK several times
I found the answer in the mean time (posting here for the record):
Under: Settings -> Locale and text activate Swype; change the settings as desired (language, etc).
Switch to Swype via the "Input Method" radio button selection when inputing text (tap and hold on a text input box).
Hope this will help others as well
Well this guy, DocRambone, most surdenly knows how to do it. Cause he did in his modded ROM, the superlite version. I just checked Swype settings again and it has swedish, danish, norway, uk, us etc. - all the languages are there.
Try out his ROM - so far it's working really perfect

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
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=238900
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

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.

Hi, I have a newbie question about android
Recently I've bought a new galaxy w. I've turned it on and figured out that it has a support of English and Malaysian language.
I'm a russian native speaker, so I would like to change a ui to russian language.
I mean not just being able to type sms in russian, but the whole ui (like application names, menues, and so on).
So, I would like to know how conceptually it can be done?
Is it just a matter of changing some locale related files or I need to install something?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi, Thanks a lot for the answer and sorry for the late reply
I've installed this application, but it seems like it provides only partial solution.
I saw that some applications really were named in russian (like google maps and google play)
But it did nothing with menus and icons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, and so on).
When I chose Settings -> Language I don't see russian language and I guess this is the problem. I understand that more locale application only changes the locale and its good enough for applications having internationalization support by themselves but it doesn't affect the whole UI language of the system.
The issue looks deeper than only installing the right locale.
Meanwhile I've read about different ROMs available. I'm still vague on details but can ROM installation resolve the problem? If so, what ROM should I install?
Some more details that can shed some light:
- I'm located in Israel and the phone is bought there
- Kernel version : 2.6.35.7-perf-I8150DXMLM3-CL1103265
[email protected] #3
-Baseband version
I8150DXLC1
- Android version 2.3.6
-PDA I8150 DXLM3 (to obtain this I used *#*#1234#*#*)
Disclaimer, I'm quite a technical guy (programmer with ~15 years experience) so stuff like rooting the phone and installing custom modes of os version doesn't scare me, I just only never dealt with android phones
Thanks a lot in advance
Hi,
After reading and learning a little bit, I've tried to root the device, but with no luck
I tried all 3 methods I've found
here
but no one didn't really work
I'm quite sure I did everything like it was explained.
In the first method it wrote me the the update.zip was installed successfully, but after the reboot the phone wasn't rooted.
I've paid attention that in logs (accessible through recovery console there are a lot of messages of type:
failed to open /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state - looks like its an invalid path.
So any help will be appreciated here
Thanks
OK. It looks like after a couple of hours I've got a root access to the phone.
Thought someone can be interested...
I've used the first method and it didn't work.
I've made factory reset (also available in recovery console) and then came across mounting option in menu.
So I've mounted everything I could there and then re-applied the update.zip. Rebooted the phone and now it seems to have a root access (I have a superuser application).
Now the next challenge will be installing the ROM with russian language native support (in android jargon "flashing" ) with Odin.
I've downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com. And planning to use this tutorial
And I believe I'll be happy with my russian language
Since my experience with this stuff now is impressive _one_ day, so
could someone point me whether i'm in the right direction at all?
Thanks
Install the latest firmware XXLM8, i think it support russian language via the tutorial how to install via odin, then u will need to use the first method to root the firmware again...thats all

It looks I did exactly as you wrote, and it worked great
I didn't find XXLM8 firmware on sammobile, instead I used XXLM6 which is also good enough for my needs.
