Finally getting OFFICIAL Arabic support - G1 Android Development

-----------------THIS THREAD IS FOR PORTING THE OFFICIAL ARABIC SUPPORT FROM HTC WHICH WILL BE RELEASED SOON IN SAUDI ARABIA-----------------​
Ok I once made a thread about requesting help for Arabic support. I think it was deleted or something.
Anyway STC (Saudi Telecommunications) and HTC have both announced that they will be releasing the HTC Magic here soon with Arabic support.
I will acquire one as soon as it comes out and I'll try to find what exactly in the system is responsible for arabic support (will need help for that) and we can get this ported to the dream and even the hero.
So lets keep this thread only (So we can stay organized) for when the phone is released and the project begins.
****Please only post in this thread if you can contribute to this in any way. Otherwise, NO POSTING until I or anyone uploads the entire files on the Arabic HTC Magic******

I contacted HTC about the magic and they also confirmed that it would support arabic.
But is arabic support on the magic made by HTC or is it an early/stripped out version of donut? Can anyone confirm whether it is supported on the latest donut code drop?

I just tried Cyanogen's latest experimental build 4.1.4 which contains some code from donut 1.6, however arabic isn't implemented yet. I added the fallback font but letters are still not connected.
I hope donut 1.6 final implements it. Other than that, we will be depending on you Kainous to get us the nandroid dumps off the htc magic

it is out already

dumps are out too in the same thread,, so far only for Magic, needs porting to Dream and Hero

Thanks xaxis.. Although i have no experience on how to port this.. i just wanted to get the project started...
Any volunteers?

Per everyone's request for Dream/32b support. Enjoy!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4661301

Now, let’s take this to the next level, by creating a package that works on all builds. I Know it’s possible, just need some cooking help!
There are several files in the update.zip folder that we need to grab in addition to the Fonts & Parfield IME. I have zero cooking experience, but have been a follower of Android development since day ZERO. We need to locate all the files that make Arabic support possible for all ROM’s.

looking forward to having this support imported into cyanogen mods

[ROM] Arabic Android using Cyanogen 4.2.14.1

Finally, the Android's framework have been programmed to fully support Arabic letters.
This includes messages, contacts and any other programs which displays Arabic letters (except a few)
It also includes Ayman's Al Sanad arabized web browser
This is a first release, is only available on Cyaogen's ROM (which works for Dream and Magic)
Whats missing/wrong:
-Arabic directionality is still not implemented (Right to Left))
-Some apps (like Gmail) are not Arabized till now (DONE! -- Repaired now for Gmail,iSilo ..etc -- Check 4.2.14.1)
Anyone having any issues with this ROM, please use the issue tracker at ArabicAndroid on Google codes
Hopefully, the other android devices will be getting this soon
Thanks goes to Cyanogen for his great and faaaast ROM, also goes to whoever helped him in achieving this.
Thanks also goes to Ayman Al Sanad, who initiated the idea with his project site (Arabic Android) and his arabization for the android browser

are we gonna see an arabic version of 4.2.14.1? thanks!
I don't currently have my G1 anymore but a friend of mine flashed this and is stuck at a black screen. Can boot into recovery however. He was on the same version of this Cyanogen mod cept that he flashed Arabic one this time.
Any suggestions or ideas?
enabling android without flashing the whole cm 4.2.14.1
I've open this link arabicandroid on google code
can you tell me what to do with that files, is there any way to apply arabic enabled android without flashing the whole cm 4.2.14.1 ?
4.2.14.1 Arabic works
Salam Alikum all,
I just want to let you know that I have flasshed ROM you provided and it works well with mytouch and I can readh gmail and browse Arabic websites.
Thanks to you all. I just wish that we can follow up with Cyanogen Updates or have him include this Arabized version into his ROM.
Do you think this is possible so we can take advantage of his updates and keep Arabic support.
Thanks all,
Al Meer

[Q] Joint effort for new rom

Hi all
I spent quite some time in looking, testing and rejecting the roms that trail around here. So, may I suggest, we build our own / open to all ROM?
I never cooked a ROM, thus I am certainly no veisen, navenedrob or MietasSR and how all the good chefs are named. So, anyone to join?
greets mega
I could join for testing and small stuff, since there is not much ir can compile codewise.
what it would be better for you and everyone is to take the best rom made untill now and fix all the remaining bugs so finally like that the perfect rom will be created, maybe by the time u create the rom with bugs you will be forced to leave the investigation like everyone else leaving a bugy rom but work from the start with ready bugy rom fix it and voila, the perfect treo rom. if u need it i can post it here.
Hi, why do you think the others *had* to quit?
I firmly believe, these good guys left because of loss of interest. If they were forced to quit, say by M$, that would have happend right after first dropping rom's in here and certainly these downloads would have been blocked too.
greets
mega
i didnt meant they had to but most of the roms that were posted ad dissapeared i got mine beacuse an senior member posted it for me, currently the only two good ones are the one that says in tread name sys blablablablabla xsx blablablabla, and the spanish one.
but you know its true that its better to do what i posted.
I believe there is still a lot of treo 750 users out there, since it is a superb device. But the old Win OS is a true bummer, not finger friendly at all. And pulling out a stylus in a bus stop is just hideous. So I hope this thread stays alive....

Hi,
Building our own Rom, does deffinitely *not* exclude a valuable starting point such as already existing ROM, on the contrary.
here are the options we have (just the WM 6.5 ROMS):
- thread 642721
WM6.5.3 28205, from MietasSR; No kitchen that I know off; link to ROM alive, as of writing
- thread 541417
23017 R2" SYS/XIP ROM by navenedrob (Probably the one youe were referring to); the only one with a kitchen; link to ROM dead, but can be found elsewhere, as of writing
- thread 477370
21193/21193 by veisen; No kitchen that I know off; link to ROM alive, as of writing
None of these roms has language support other than english, all have bugs. I am new to rom development, I will only put effort into this, if I am not alone. Can we make a sourceforgeproject of this
Things that need get organised are:
- a bunch of developpers
- howto on making a kitchen
- decide what will be the starting point
- which languages are we going to target
- EN
- DE, first prio for me
- ....
- can we do them all?

I am willing to help/contribute even in development if the project gets some positive feedback and other contributers!
About the languages.. as I understand you can change the ROM's langpack, so a good starting point would be the new spanish rom floating around. Looks like it has a lot of bugfixes in it already... So the first thing to do would be contacting the baker and have him answer simple questions about kitchen and ROM. That way we could swap it to EN/GER and test it out.

The - only - kitchen I have is just the
CHEETAH-WM6.5-21828-ROMKitchen-navenedrob.zip
So you are workin with this as well, aren't you?
The main issues there (apart from probably fixable small bugs) are for me
- missing language support, I just see lang pack 0409
- missing info about how to use / chane this kitchen
Can any one help here?
greets

talk to amgatron, he has a topic at the rom development section called (wm6.5)mangatrons new rom (release soon) , hes using a new kitchen and what navs and mietas had left behind, he already fixed the palm oem and red button issues, you could say hes building the perfect rom.
ROMs have been released Here. Try it out now and don't forget to leave feedback!

[MIUI] Language pack - HTC EVO MIUI 1.7.15 Rom Spanish Updater - supersonic ** NEW **

Hello;
I am not sure if this the appropriate forum (mods. pls. forgive me if not!) but wanted to give credit to where credit belongs and also help the community users as I am sure they can benefit form this as I did.
First off huge thanks to StiffSpliff & MIUI US team; thank you sooo much for your wonderful work bringing us weekly the latest MIUI roms in US English. I am totally loving this.
So here It is;
This is a CWM-flashable zip.
**As always please make a nandroid backup first!! in case something does not work for you I am not resposible for anything and neither is the author of this updater pack. this is just being offered a service to latin speaking community. Also please make sure to clear Cache & Dalvik cache before installing this updater. ~ You could also install US MIUI rom and immediately apply this updater right after it back to back in one shot then just reboot without any problems. (I personally like to always do a second reboot after a new install just to make sure everything has settled in properly.)
* If you want your FM radio working properly!! First make sure you download and start off with this fixed version English Rom from here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?9reghw09az6ec9i
this base rom has the corrected boot.img for the FM radio: (thanks to lithid for this discovery.)
This special HTC EVO MIUI 1.7.15 Spanish language pack installs right over current MIUI 1.7.15 Evo Release.
http://www.mediafire.com/?c2woh58cw16kwhu
Then go to System settings -> language input settings -> select language to switch back and forth between ENG/SPA.
it will convert the above rom in to bi-lingual English/Spanish 100% working perfectly and tested by me on a couple of different EVOs. this is not an official update of any sort but was created as a favor for me personally by the talented dev. Juan Carlos Vázquez. All credit goes to Juan Carlos (JCG) the developer over at MIUI Espana and please show him some love the via donation link in this post. I just figured I will put it out for your enjoyment and doing so with his permission. I am sure a ton of people like me have been waiting for something like this as in this moment to my knowledge there are no other Official or Unofficial published updaters available to get Spanish MIUI on to HTC EVO 4G.
The beauty of this updater is that absolutely everything is converted in Spanish. Even your Google maps/Navigation will start giving Spanish guidance all of a sudden and my favorite:
~ Genie Widget if you have it? that is Google's News and Weather gadget will pull news from Spanish sources and display news in Spanish.
(if you look around plenty of that .apk is posted everywhere)
This language pack will also give you all the new updated locksreens in Spanish.
Again: Full credit goes to the very kind dev. JCG for this fine work. I am just passing it on.
Let me know if this helped you & if you like this work pls. consider donating to the author.
Donation link for JCG: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=VHNA3MG5CSMSJ
After Install go to your location settings and edit the GPS setting to your current location to override the default european setup.
This way you can get a very quick gps lock; in US type any of the US pools for example: north-america.pool.ntp.org
BTW. there is a new GPS driver out you may have seen this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15760767&postcount=30
according to the poster:
**NEW** - Qualcomm Vision GPS Driver v1.1 (recommended) - Updated fix with latest Qualcomm driver, should be less buggy. Fast gps locks, very accurate, no wake locks, no 100% cpu.
even though I had decent gps lock on my EVO running MIUI 1.7.15 decided to try this and indeed gives me a faster GPS lock.
i flashed this over the latest miui 1.8.26 and it didnt seem to work spanish was not listed under languages is there any way to make it happen with the latest version of miui 1.8.26
As the title of the thread says: this is clearly for EVO MIUI 1.7.15 Rom and ONLY for version 1.7.15 MIUI. Both files needed (the English Rom and Spanish language pack) are linked in OP and are working. No point in flashing this language pack on to any other version of MIUI as it won't work. The LP includes all system .apks modified in to bi-lingual so by flashing this on to any other version you are basically replacing all your rom's applications with this version software. therefore your ROM & LP versions must match!
Unfortunately there are no later or newer updates of this kind available anymore as the dev. for this has stopped working on this project alltogether.
... on the other hand IMHO MIUI 1.7.15 (July 15th) really is one of the best and most stable and faster than all other recent MIUI updates for HTC EVO I have tested! In the later versions they have changed a lot including new browser which I personally don't like much and still to this day issues with forceclosing voice search and overall slowness/sluggish performance. ..so you won't be disappointed if you try it with v.1.7.15
Please follow install instructions above exactly for best results. tkx

welcome here @ xda, wbaw!
keep up the good work!!!
Oh ! a modaco man on xda,welcome.
a new competitor for elitemovil
I don't really know why CM7 struggles with its own kernel. Wbaw said in some earlier posts on Modaco that this leaked kernel is way more buggy than the one used in CM7. I regularly switch to CM7 because of its features and to see the innovations in Android. But I always keep coming back to ROMs based on stock kernels because the CM7 kernel simply sucks. I use my Blade for more than half a year now and CM7 always disappoints me. These kernels are far better than the one CM7 is using, that's my own experience by using each ROM for a week or two. The best would be to mix all the good working stuff of the available ROMs into one.
Thanks to wbaw for joining xda. Great efforts!
guys, i used to own a blade, enjoy the best rom there is, and also give wbaw all the support he deserves, actually all devs deserve.

I found you ! .. keep up the great work man !
after my posting at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163609&page=3
it may not surpise you that I may try the b19, and that I just used your 'donate' link.
cheers mate.
btw,
just noticed that b19 is an all-in-one ... will it go on ok considering I already have clockwork installed ?
The all in one 'TPT' version is only for users with 'Gen1' phones which were sold with Android 2.1 (Eclair) who haven't updated to 'Gen2' radio firmware yet. It updates the radio firmware, installs the rom & the latest clockworkmod all in one. Because it is flashing the low level radio firmware & loaders there is a very small risk involved ... but it's the safest & easiest way to get to Gen2, it'll work even on an unrooted Gen1 phone. If you use the TPT version then follow the instructions carefully & I'm not responsible if you break your phone.
The all in one TPT version wont work on phones that were sold with Android 2.2 (Froyo) or officially updated to Froyo. Those phones are already 'Gen2', so they don't need any radio firmware updates, so they should just use the standard clockworkmod .zip file to install the rom.
If you used a previous version, then you've already got the Gen2 radio firmware you need for the rom. So you should install the standard clockworkmod version which is linked at the top of the post. There is absolutely no risk of permanently damaging your phone with clockworkmod.
HI!
Is this good ROM?
Does all work fine?
Is the Battery life good?
Does all works?
I maybe tested this ROM once really fast but it was older version!
yes, yes, yes, yes easy
Hey wbaw !
I just flashed this ROM and it is good but how many % it is completed?
and can you fix Estonian language? it works but: [settings --> applications] not work :/ maybe it need other Estonian language files to framework-res.apk ..?
I can confirm that com.android.settins force closes every time when i select any item under Settins>Applications when language is set to Estonian.
When language is set to English everything works fine.
I wonder were Estonian translation comes from anyway, since its only half translated and as far as i know it is not in stock Android 2.3.4 nor in CM7.
BTW any changelog from b17 to b19?
Thanks for a very nice ROM!

Almost all ROMs which have Estonian language but it's not Estonian ROM them not work fine!
some apps not work and some settings an other not work!
If anyone can find any Estonian Gingerbread 2.3 ROM then the language can be added to framework-res.apk and then it needs to work!
Peaaegu kõik ROMid millel on Eesti keel aga pole Eesti ROM nendes ei tõõta kõik siis hästi!
mõned programit ei tõõta ja mõned seadused ei tõõta..
Kui keegi leiab Eesti GingerBread 2.3 ROMi siis selle keele saab lisada: framework-res.apk ja siis peaks tõõtama hästi!
Sorry for bad English and sorry if I wrote something wrong to Estonian..
I live in Finland so I don't remember really fine how to write in Estonian and my English is not really good yet!
EDIT: If anybody can tell me how I can edit/fix language then plz. tell me! and what name Estonian language using in framework-res.apk ?
The Estonion language files were taken from CM7, that has much more complete language support.

but it needs little bit editing or then need adding from other ROM the Estonian language..
when I have free time for ZTE then I can try to search better Estonian language to GingerBread!
CM7 is Gingerbread & it does fully support Estonian as well as many other languages.
Is anybody having trouble updating the launcher pro home launcher..???

I noticed that the music player not work!
I tried to get it to work with other language: English
but still not work!

Do I need again to find one good ROM which works and are 100% stable... ?
:/
I will try to search official normal cra# 2.2 ROM back!
I cant use ROM which not work fully!
I don't even have time for ZTE because I edit ROMs for JetDroid and here finland schools starts again soon (only 7 days I have free time..) and then I don't have time to search or edit ROMs...
EDIT: How I can extract and re-pack the boot.img?
I don't understand how, I don't understand that how and when I try then not work.. is there any extractor program for .img files?
A little doubt about this ROM, does it support RDS for FM radio?
