How do I add fonts to system.sqsh ?

Hey all,
I put the 02.02.10 build on my sdcard, and it booted perfectly. I still had a problem reading SMS in my native language because there is no out-of-the-box support for my language.
On many threads that I found, people said they added few fonts to system.sqsh, I tried to use it as everyone explained( with squashfs-tools 3.1 because version 4 doesn't work with android ), but I'm stuck on the second boot screen( the nexus splash screen), it loops forever( gave it 25 minutes before I tried a second attempt).
I backed up the old system.sqsh so I can have a working android, but I need to find a way to add these fonts.
Thanks.

Apps safe to remove after Desire root

Goals of this thread:
1) List apps that come on stock HTC Desire ROM, that are safe to remove.
2) List apps that should not be removed. (E.g. known to cause instability issues after being removed).
Remarks:
- Please focus on apps on the HTC Desire stock ROM, (Android 2.1 or 2.2 at this moment).
- It assumes you have already rooted your HTC Desire, but do not plan to swap the stock ROM. (Do not comment that it's possible to install a cooked ROM that has removed the bloatware, assume people prefer this route for whatever reason).
- Please do not discuss HOW to root, or which are best tools for removing apps.
Ok, I hope I didn't put anyone off to freely post in this thread!!
This isn't a development issue, and thus, should be posted in the General forum.
Added to this, there are already lists out there.
I asked teh same quetion 3 days ago:

Acolwill,
The thread intends to tackle getting to a personalized custom ROM, but not taking someone's cooked ROM.
Approach: Starting with stock 2.2 Froyo, uninstalling apps and services until you have the ROM you want, sans bloatware, tailored to your preferences.
Bloatware is marked as a system app. In order to uninstall system apps you need to root the Desire, and use a tool that is capable of removing any app or service (such as Titanium Backup for example). Therefore it is crucial to make a distinction which apps and services are safe to remove, and which are not.
It is development in the sense that you are cooking your own ROM, 'live' on your phone. Sort of..
Please be helpful and point to the lists you found.
I browsed and searched for some time, but what is there is not for the Desire, and you'd have to weed through long lists of apps that are not installed on our device. Also those lists are confusing as people simply list that they took an app off, but not what the impact was.
Anyway, let's see, if no reactions then I may be the only one in need of the list, .
Now where are those links !!!
searching and searching for save to remove apps on stock desire......
without any luck sofar...
It's part of the leedroid wiki but should apply to every sense rom.

[Tutorial] HEBREW on your Wildfire S

Hi,
I'm posting this here, mainly because it involves new ROM flashing.
I spent nearly a month "converting" my WFS..
So, I hope you'll find this helpful..
Follow the next steps:
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader
(Thanks to theq86 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199)
2. Second install this stock ROM
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_ARA_2.26.415.2_Radio_47.23e.35.30 38H_7.57.39.10M_release_262618_signed.exe - 158.5 MB
It's an Arabic ROM and it supports fully English.
The big advantage of this ROM is that it has "Right to Left" correction built in.
(Thanks to kasra_Qeshm. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476701)
3. Next step is to install Hebrew keyboard. there are many options.. I personally prefer Keyboard from Android 2.3 (there's also a paid version)
And the Hebrew pack for it Here.
That's it!! You have Hebrew on your WFS!!
Some more goodies:
1. You might want to root you WFS - One Root is an easy and great tool for this task.
(Thanks to rezo609 - Original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678421)
2. "Bubble like" WildChild Messages app - This one is an add-on the require your phone to be rooted in order to flash it. You can download Here.

3. BEATS AUDIO
(Thanks to apherio. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587286)
That's it for today.. Hope you'll enjoy!
One last thing.. I only gathered the information and made some tests to see it's all working.. but if you find some of this helpful I think it would be nice go to the original posts and press the "thanks" button..
Cheers!
Maoz.
great to see how it works.. I thought it required more than just flashing. Anyway it's goot that I've got the idea to use the Arabic Rom for our needs.
anyway now I just need to figure out how to add darktremor support so I can use this rom with A2SD GUI and not worry about memory.
btw, what is the memory usage that you see with this ROM?
After installation I had 119MB free internal memory
You might have a problem running the RUU*.exe file since the wildfire's CID is not compatible.
I've found that extracting the boot.img and system.img from the rom.zip (found in window user's temp dir) and flashing manually is a good option as well:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
good luck.
if anyone comes across the VMOBILE's rom (i've seen one with full hebrew) please shout out.

I've got the vmobile rom. the problem is that it doesn't support A2SD and you ran out of space pretty quickly.
