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.

Thanks anyway.

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.

I just checked, it displays hebrew without any issues what so ever.

Lots of information on the Israel Android forum - in Hebrew

Swype files for XXJPK (swedish input)

(To Forum Admins: I've posted the very same thing this morning but it disappeared -- presumbably because of the DB crash. Sorry if this wasn't the case and/or this was better placed in the General Forum)
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

[Q] How to add or enable additional system languages?

Long story short - when I played with the tablet at store before buying I specifically checked the available system languages (in the Settings) and was able to easily change to any language. But upon buying tablet (Pro 10.1) and starting it up I can only see few languages available and no option to add more. Does anyone know how I can add additional languages? Answer would be highly appreciated as I intend to gift tablet to non English speaker and having native system language is a must.

Also looking for the answer. Apps which set locale and language dont work (without root anyway)

All right,
I found the answer and enabled all system languages. The good news is that the whole procedure took about 15 minutes with no glitches. The bad news is that the only way to do this is by rooting the tablet first. All the system languages are available in firmware but Samsung in their typical 'wisdom' decided to disable all but few that are prevalent in US. Other languages can be enabled via simple configuration file change but this requires ROOT access privileges. So you need to rot tablet first. I used the instructions at this forum in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661198.
For drivers I installed Kies and upgraded it to the latest version (I am using Windows 8.1 laptop and USB 3.0 port), I also loaded ODIN from the link for the 10.1 tablet. The whole process was very straightforward as long as you stay on the instruction path to the tee. One gotcha for me was that security pattern was not recognized after root, good thing I remembered PIN code. So I would advise to disable tablet lock screen security prior to rooting.
Once tablet was rooted and I disabled Knox with SuperSU, I downloaded market app called 'Language Enabler'. Language enabler simply lists all languages that Samsung supports and once you make selection of which you want to enable, it switches them on in configuration file. You need to restart tablet afterwards for changes to take effect. SuperSU granted this app root privileges and I was off to add more languages. Interestingly, when I first tried to only enable languages that I was interested in (Russian and Ukrainian), I did not find them upon rebooting tablet. Maybe it was due to the fact that Language Enabler listed multiple variations of them and not all were in the firmware. So if you try at first and can't find your language after reboot, just enable all languages and then see in the settings if your language shows up.
To finish up, I went to Samsung keyboard configuration and downloaded keyboard layouts for my languages.
That's all.
Here's screenshot of the Tab Language settings after modification:
https://plus.google.com/115321967067157026307/posts/MFZdcY81cqN

Nice job. I'm having the same problem but at this time I don't want to Root to the tablet just yet. It is frustrating that while these languages are already pre-installed and taking up the space anyway, we cannot see them in the menu. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

Flash official firmware on galaxy tab t320 (for chg language)
I have the galaxy tab pro t320 (8.4"), and I would like to install, for the change the language in Italian, the official firmware Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 SM-T320 EUR T320XXU1ANAI (Android 4.4.2 30.01.2014 NA26R1) found in the site techcrot.info/download-official-firmware-galaxy-tab-pro-8-4-sm-t320.
These are my questions:
1) This site has really official rom (i don't fount it in the samsumg site)
2) Is true that I can set the Italian language, with this rom (in the rom stock in the device are only English, French, Spanish)
3) The procedure void your warranty??
Thanks

Thanks I tried that and then i go back to AOSP setting and choose Language -> I did not see chinese or mandarin or any chinese related.
It shows list from start to end English - US ->> Uzbek, Vietnamese, Zulu end of list.
It does'nt have chinese though, maybe I need to install from playstore.

System -> Languages & Input -> Languages -> + Add a language (chinese will be at the bottom of the list)

I have a problems where I am able to choose Chinese as a language but am not able to activate Chinese as an input method. Same with Korean.
Should probably add... I use lineage with opengapps (pico) and the aosp keyboard.
The keyboard settings say use system languages but show only English and German although Chinese is configured as a system language.

I have the exact same problem with lineageos adroid keyboard.
Chinese language is available as system language for display purposes, but no input is available.

Ditto. Android 10 / LOS 17.1, zero Google apps, Chinese (简体中文) is enabled as a system language, and there seems to be no provision for actually entering Chinese. And the Google Pinyin Input app (which is what I have used in the past on CyanogenMod and LineageOS) seems to not work at all on this device (Sony Xperia Z3). The latest version of Google Pinyin installs and then dies silently, older versions will not even install. Ummmmm, that makes LOS unusable for something like 1/5 of the world's population. ;-) Maybe more, if this holds true for other Asian languages.

Now July 2022, I have same situation with 18.1 recently updated (July 2022) on Samsung HLTE. I do not have any Google product installed, including Play Store.
I have (and have activated ) the Chinese simple option in the languages, but am unable to change it in the key pad.
It seems as though most Asian languages except Vietnamese are missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: July 10th
Really would like some feedback on this please?
Is it something I am or not doing?
Is this an issue with this ROM/
Is it simply not possible?
I see it is showing com.android.imput.latin in the keypad setting.
I cannot find any way to switch to Cn.
Is there an update via Lineageo/s I can add to achive this please?
Don't hesitate to ask me if there is info missing.
Without the ability to use Cn language in keyboard this has very limited functionality for me.
I see it is a feature of a stock Samsung C8 device.
Cheers

Quite correct, but like me, the poster wants to add it to the keypad.
Ie, convert the keypad to be able to use Chinese language.
I know this is a 2 year old psot, but just curious if yu have achieved this?
FYI: I am unable to find any option to add a language in keypad setting and no Asian languages are preset. (excluding Vietnamese)

Hello, did you ever find a way to fix this?

Just install GKeyboard from Google play and set it as default input

Hello @ar_156, thanks for taking the time to write.
I am Guessing in GKeyboard the G stands for Google.
So it might likely work, as it does in my Galaxy C8 stock Chinese for which there is no known mod.
But I do not run any Google products including Pay Store.
That sort of defeats the entire purpose of running a Mod Lineage ROM, I may as well just run the stock Google Android.
Hopefully an update soon will restore the Lineage usefulness for me.
Cheers

Oh apparently 'tis Oktoberfest happy whatever one does~!

Thanks again for your idea.
I located the APK , downloaded but it reports back : "APP not installed."
I tried it multiple times from multiple sources - no joy.
Do you or does anyone have any idea why it keeps failing please?
In a similar vein, I thought that an earlier version of Lineage OS ( I'm running 18.1 now) came with a note taking APP?
Is there one for the current version please?
Thx

Gboard - the Google Keyboard
or use TouchPal Keyboard, it wil let you install Chinese Traditional or Simplified input.
GBoard requieres some Google elements, maybe your chinese device does not allow it, your best bet is TouchPal Keyboard, I am using it, too.

Hiya @ar_156 thanks very much for that .
Issue is very likely device related, but haha, you maybe read too much CNN!
Nothing to do with location, I suspect G/board will fail anywhere.
Since posting I had a flashback to another APP that gave the same error message. Turned out it was a 64 bit APP - Note 3 is only 32~
Once I found a 32 bit APP it installed no issues. Sadly, G/board seems not to have a 32 bit option.
I have a newer 64 bit Galaxy C8 but can't find a custom ROM for that so for now I am stuck with the Note 3 and 32 bits~
I'll giveTouchpal a try many thanks.
Saturday Sept 24th.
Hello again @ar_156 , a quick follow up. f
I found the ads on Touchpal a bit distracting.
However, your tip re Gboard IS the answer for anyone who is having the same issue .
BUT - it must be the ARM (32 bit ) version, available ex Softpedia.
Probably others as well.
However, one MUST search for the arm version, there are at least 3.
The default download is 64 bit and will fail every time.
I now have Gboard up, seems to run OK. So thank you , hope this follow up helps someone, somewhere, sometime.
Cheers
