Well, this isn't really a question pertaining to the Desire specifically, it seems more a general Android font issue, but I'll ask it here because I'm not sure where such questions go...
And so I just updated my HTC Desire from CyanogenMod 7.2 to a custom ICS ROM, and while for the most part I am more than happy with how ICS has been working, a small thing is niggling at me. I am studying Japanese and I use AnkiDroid as a flashcard app for reviewing Japanese kanji and Japanese vocabulary. After the updated, I noticed that just as with my ASUS Transformer (also running ICS) some of the kanji look rather strange. For example, the kanji 誤 looks like this on my desktop:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
while on my phone the same character looks like this:
They're almost completely different! I am sure that 誤 which is U+8aa4, is correct on my desktop as this is how the kanji appears in every Japanese dictionary I have. There are a few other kanji that look almost as wrong on my phone as well: it's just that 誤 is the one character that came up in today's review which bothered me. I remember this was the case as well with Cyanogenmod before 7.1, but 7.1 and onwards gave the correct character form.

has xda developers ever thought about some new themes or just a new look?? not thats its unsightly,its pretty nice to access and use, just wondering??
I'd be happy with something that was a bit more QVGA friendly, I find it somewhat cumbersome to navigate this site from my 8525 - maybe it's me... who knows
Actually I was thinking of both versions, but the pda version does load much quicker
My problem with the PDA Site is that everything on it is at least one day behind everything on the main site...
Maybe cutting out things like avatars, signature pictures, embedded tags like
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I see your point, and will back down.
I'm quite happy with it as it is, and the site loads fine on my prophet.
Hmm, as far as the PDA version is concerned, I can't speculate on that for I have never used it. I always browse XDA Dev in full view Opera Mini. Even then, I find that the layout of the forum is quite clean and manageable. I would not recommend any unnecessary changes. If it ain't broke don't fix it, but fix the broken stuff (haven't noticed any so far)
I noticed nice finger oriented application, but one problem - language.

Extract to any place and run MMSC.EXE
Rename MMSC.kor to MMSC.DLL and edit it as usual DLL.
Use both them:

I tried to translate, but when i saved DLL, then graphical resources became corrupted! So we need i think good unicode support resource editor.
May be luck will be with you
I was under the impression that the SK Telecom SMS app worked a little differently from the default WM6 app since if you are in Korea on SKT the normal SMS app doesn't work at all.
Just a quick add to this, Visual Studio can edit unicode resources just fine (just tried).
Uh Leddy really like the korean keyboard xperia, but one thing. When using the SKY II 한글 without the qwerty keyboard, you can't type english or korean, you can only use the symbls and numbers. Not a big issue, but somewhat inconvenient?
I'm using gtrab's WM 6.5 Barebone ROM v5.8
Is there any similar solution for SCH M715 English ROM ?
Thanks
I've seen this wallpaper in roms lately and it's been bugging me. It's a top-down view of a blue sea. It has about the same color as the one below. And there's a little bit of the cliff showing at the bottom with a small seagull to the right, I think. I think it's also on Deck's ICS rom, but I'm not sure since I went through about 5 roms today.

If anyone can help, that'd be great!
Unzip those ROMS and look at the wallpapers in them until you find that one
Well....
I flashed Deck's 1.3 Stable and voila it's the wallpaper that's being displayed ....except that I accidentally switched and now I can't find it anywhere. I looked through the galleries and the .zip but I still can't find it.....
If it is the wallpaper that comes with the ROM, then it's in there, trust me. When I get home, I can look for you
Swyped From The Hippest MIUI'd phone Using XDA Premium
Zakynthos
I checked it out on Google Goggles and that beach is an area of Zakynthos. There's a ton of variations of the same image, so I'm not particularly sure which one you might be looking for. If you do an image search for Zakynthos, I'm sure you'll find it.
If you have the ICS MIUI Rom for the HTC Desire installed, you probably have a broken dictionary that won't stop telling you that you've spelled everything wrong. It's a pretty simple fix though if you like the ROM enough.
Step one: Go to play store, find a keyboard you like. I personally like touch pal a lot. Download it.
Step two: Go to settings, complete settings, Language and Input.
Step three: Enable your new keyboard and set it as default.
Step four: below language turn off spelling correction.
Step five: go into your keyboard settings and choose a language. It will hopefully then use it's dictionary instead of the broken one.
Sorry if it's a little vague or basic, but it would probably confuse people who don't know a lot about custom ROMing.
Only other bug in the ROM that I've found is choppy video recording and sometimes the WIFI stops, but restarting it always works
ALSO if this is in the wrong thread please move it for me.

Hi guys,
this is my first thread here @xda, I hope I don't break any rules by posting it here.
After the 4.4.2 (God bless it :/) I noticed that they upgrade "Samsung default Keyboard" which I use to write,
My problem is, they changed the "Arabic" layout.
They replaced characters, added/moved/deleted another, they (hide) the little transparent extra characters that we call by long-press and it is no longer QWERTY layout keyboard that I use to type on for almost a year since I bought my Note 2
Because the Arabic still not that wide used language, I have problem fixing that by myself, so I am here to ask you to try with me.
Well, It is so difficult for you to notice but here is the old vs the new layout
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As you see, the old one is very close to the actual (mechanical) keyboard, but the new one is something like a box, WT-heck is that?
After few hours of googling, I read this: [MOD] Auto Correct and Uses System Font for Samsung Keyboard @xda-dev but I am not sure that this will bring back the default "Arabic" QWERTY layout keyboard
Any help?
Any help will be appreciated guys .
