[Q] Arabic Support fro Desire HD 'ACE'

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...

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.

its dont support on RTL, if you get/sand message with number, you will get them up side down, for exsample, 1234 will be 4321 and so...

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?

Would you please verify if there is an Arabic language listed on the languages section?

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..
check this thread for a temp solution

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.

[MOD] Samsung Japanese iWnnIME input for i9000. (MKA5)

Now that there are a few Japanese i9000 stock roms floating around I had a chance to nab the iWnnIME files. They seem to work reasonably well on JPY.
Installable with CWM2 recovery.
Install - http://www.multiupload.com/NMHY05PXJG
Remove - http://www.multiupload.com/YVR695BWY5
Installable with CWM3:
Install - http://www.multiupload.com/ZFJJC5UUTI
Gingerbread Info:
* Tested and seems to work without issue on Gingerbread. Does seem a little laggy though.
* Install with a CWM Kernel or drop the files in yourself. (Voodoo Experimental)
Updates:
* 20/04/11 CWM3 compatible install added.
* 29/03/11 Tested and working on Gingerbread JVK.
* 30/01/11 Updated using the latest firmware for the sc-02b (MKA5). Actually all the files I believe are exactly the same, no change in file sizes.
* 16/01/11 Incorrectly was copying libemoji.so and libemoji_docomo.so. Both are already in JPY.
* Added removal mod.
* Changing Locale to Japan -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10644729&postcount=17

There's an app called Morelocale 2 that'll let you set Japanese as your language

This works perfect with JPY.
Thanks so much.

Yes. That is good to make your phone have Japanese menus or compatible display. However, there is a problem with SMS'es that corrupts the text when an sms is sent from an Android phone without native Japanese language support to a Japanese domestic phone. Phones like the iPhone or Sony Ericsson X10 have native Japanese support and sms in japanese works.
Tested this Samsung iwnnime with JP locale on an international i9000 and still got corrupted.
So we are missing something that makes it truely native

Just sent an SMS in Japanese from my i9000 to my girlfriend's Japanese iPhone 3G and then one back to my phone in Japanese.
No text corruption or otherwise. I'm not using a Japanese locale though, so perhaps it's an issue with that.

Is your i9000 one from overseas or from Japan?

Hong Kong.

Hm the issue occurs with both Locale on and off for me. But from the japanese phone it is ok.

One quick question. You have updated the zip today.
Should I uninstall the previous one and install new one?
Or just installing the new one will replace all?
Appreciate your advice.

Works smooth as butter tx

No need to. The old one was copying two libs that were already present on the i9000. Just removed those from the zip.

Champ that worked !

Japanese Locale.
Ok,
After much hunting around, I grabbed the framework.jar and framework-res.apk from JL6 and popped them on my i9000.
This will let you set Japanese as your Locale. It's probably worse than the market downloadable option.
* Notes *
- At your own risk! It shouldn't break anything that a reflash can't fix, but still always beware!
- It's a bit spotty. It's mostly Japanese. It seems to depend on if the app was written to include Japanese localisation. For example, JPY Settings.apk is not in Japanese, but if you upload JL6 Settings.apk it is. (Not sure what you'd lose out of that )
- Probably not 100% compatible with themes/battery mods. (It overwrote my gingerbread statusbar but kept my lockscreen).
* Install *
1. Boot CWM Recovery.
2. Apply jl6-jp-fw.zip
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache/Cache partition.
4. Reboot & Wait. (Phone will rebuild cache).
* Remove *
Same steps, use jpy-fw.zip
* Settings.apk *
JL6 Settings.apk also included if you want to test it. Back up your old one and put the new one in /system/app/
* Downloads *
jl6-jp-fw.zip - http://www.multiupload.com/FZZ9LFDZZU
jpy-fw.zip - http://www.multiupload.com/HLOMAKRU7S
Settings.apk - http://www.multiupload.com/ECKELMO4F1

Something odd I also noticed, if you switch to the JL6 framework, set Japanese, then switch back to JPY it'll stay in Japanese. (Assuming you don't change the locale again).
Not sure how long it'd last for though.

I was interested in using Samsung Japanese IME of Docomo Galaxy Tab on my UK Galaxy Tab.
So I am very interested in this file you drew out. It can be used with Galaxy Tab ?
I am a new comer to the Android world.
Sorry and thanks for your advice.

I have no idea. I don't have a tab and I'm not sure on what the differences are between the two in terms of OS.
It's nothing that a reflash shouldn't be able to fix if worst case it won't even turn on.
Realistically it's a few libraries and apk. I'd backup those files if they're already present on the tab before you attempted it though.

[Q] WildFire S ::: Arabic Keyboard

Hi All,
I've got a brand new hTC WildFire S, I'm feeling like I moved from a country to a country, I'd a Tytn II first ages ago (WM) then a blackberry and along with now, I'm having this WildFone , the fone is nice, battery is ok, moving apps to sd improves the memory situation...
I just don't want to take risks, does anybody have an idea about how to make the Arabic Keyboard visible like the English one (like the IPad or something, there is a button like "Earth Planet" beside the Space Buttong ?
Especially, I bought it from Egypt and it's Arabic Enabled...

Simply you can long press the text field on phone ans select INPUT METHOD and then selected desired keyboard.

That was very useful...I've been trying for 3 days to work it out

Same issue, didn't work
Hi, I've just got a brand new wildfire S as well, but from the UK. It has 2.3.3 installed. I've searched the settings for international keyboards and arabic is not there, and when I tried the solution above (long press the text field) it didnt work.
Is it because my phone is not arabic enabled? When I receive text from family the arabic is shown as separated letters (arabic letters are supposed to join always). Are Egypt phones different from UK phones? How is your phone "arabic enabled" and is mine arabic enabled too?
Thanks in advance.

actually as your phone is from UK you will not be able to get the Arabic ROM for it which will make the Arabic letters connect any how if you can S-Off it you will be able to put an Arabic ROM on it otherwise no solution for this.

ICS SMS problem..

Hi there , i have a problem that only happens after i get ICS roms , i try with Arconium ICS custom rom based on Nordic and now i use Iberia stock rom.
The problem is , with special caracters like "ç" , "á , à , ê " etc if my sms are with some large size i cant send the sms , Go SMS say send and received but no sms are received , never had this problem with past versions of android " using till 2.1 " and now i get this huge problem.
Tested on Stock sms app , Go sms app , and on 2 ROMs stock Iberia and Arconum ICS .
ps: sorry the bad english

Once you use characters that aren't in the GSM character set (which is mainly English characters plus a few of accented characters) the message will be sent as Unicode which has a limit of 70 chars instead of 140. Have you tried sending a shorter message?
Also, your provider should be able to split these messages and deliver them so they look like one message. I am surprised if ICS itself is to blame but I wouldn't rule it out.

Short sms send without any problem.
Large sms dont send

No one?

You can try some little thing,
change language and dictionnary to try if it's same. Or if you want to be sure that's not because a bad file or something else. Go back to official rom (flashtool and ftf file...) and retry. After that go new kernel and custom rom...
And tell us if that's work

I have the same issue. I tried to send an sms large enough to be split in 4 by the operator, but the reciever only got some of it. Maybe its our operators? Considering we're from the same country and all xD

Yea im TMN operator to , but i only have this problem with ICS roms ..
skptar i tried 2 diferent roms and 3 kernels this is dam boring , all time i right a sms bigger i have to check if dont have any special character

Bump , the problem presist

I have a similar problem, but in my case I have the problem from previous versions of Android 2.3.3 (4.0.A.2.335) and 2.4.4 and now with the 4.1.B.0.431, apparently did not correct this problem, those who receive my messages with special characters always receives with invalid characters, happens if I use the dictionary Portuguese however if I use the English dictionary normal posts will ... however lose the spelling of words and suggestions of the system ... that hinders rather typing ... I've done all the searching to one month is apparently a problem with the same Portuguese dictionary ... how he would have been born in the United States! kkkkk things are much easier there!

I had this problem with a custom rom too. Try to hand can be a cause

Well, I guess this is the same problem I have... But no solution at all neither...
