Update: I've added to the attachments Moo-gbkb-ar.apk . It is an Arabized version with dictionary for the "Keyboard from Android 2.3" version 1.0.11 by Steven Lin so the credit goes to him for the original application (here is a link to the original application in the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free)
Moo-gbkb-ar.apk resolves a FC issue on Desire HD...
This is an Arabic/English Keyboard based on hotaru's post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202
The keyboard has a big Arabic dictionary.
The first file has the source files for the xml keyboard layouts and binary dictionary and Arabized strings. It is only for developers and you don't need it if you just want to run the app.
The second file is the APK file that can be installed directly.
If i install this on my nexus 1, will i get correct arabic letters, right now they are disconnected. if yes how to install them???
i know how to install the .apk but i have no idea what to do with the .zip file.
if this would enable me to read arabic on my nexus1, i will be so thankfull for you.
If your phone is not already Arabized this will not Arabize it. It only makes it possible to enter Arabic characters.
Is your N1 rooted? and what is your Android version (look it up in Settings=> About phone)
The attached zip file is for developers who would like to use the xml source or the dictionary in other apps. It is not for end users.
no my phone is not rooted...my android version is the latest 2.2.2
i can write arabic letters using "ibrahim keyboard" i downloaded it from the market, but can't read arabic from browser or other apps like twitter or facebook, as i said the letters appear disconnected.
i guess i still have to wait for the gingerbread release.
Gingerbread is not going to fix the disconnected Arabic characters problem based on the following article:
http://ardroid.com/2010/12/14/upcoming-android-info-arabic-support-and-other-features/
Rooting is not that hard and it gives you flexibility in changing many things including fonts...
You can use this simple method to root:

This works well on Gingerbread, thank you.
didnt woek with HTC Desire HD...
can i get the Desire HD version of this Keyboard?
Can you explain more what the issue is?
I always interested to have an Arabic keyboard in my device. I am using HTC Desire Z with Android Froyo. Is this keyboard compatible with this device as someone has reported that this keyboard is not compatible with HTC Desire HD? Please Android Expert, help!
can work in galaxy tab?
I use it on a Nexus One with no issues. I would appreciate if you download it and let us know if you had any problems.
To activate the keyboard you will need first to go to "Settings"=> "Language & keyboard" check on "Gingerbread keyboard". Then go to any text box (for example create a new message) and long press on the text area until you get a list of options. Choose "Input methods" and then select "Gingerbread keyboard".
Dear Arabia,
The problem i am getting the: Force Close Issue>>>>
Any help?
Yesterday, i downloaded the one which is in the Market, worked perfectly, BUT cant write Arabic although the Arabic is there & the space bar has the Arabic swipe method???!!

thanks
Some Body helps me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Can you attach the apk file that you got from the market (or a link to it) and I'll check it out for you.
For the force close issue, can you help me troubleshooting it by uninstaling my apk and installing the one in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202
test this apk, if it's force closing, then we'll need to report that to hotaru. If not then please let me know and we'll try to take it from there.

Dear Yahya,
First of all, i would like to thank you for your kind reply,,
Here you go, the link of the Gingerbread Keyboard from the Market which works with me ( No Arabic ):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin
Inshalla, i will install the one you advised me & will let you know by today it self.
Warm Regards
Salmin
Dear Yahya,
Just tested the one you advised me , and the same (Force Close Issue) i am having..???
Hope to hearing from you Soon.
Salam
Salmin
I'm sorry Salmin this means that the original apk has the issue. Only hotaru would be able to fix it. I only added the Arabic keyboard and I don't know that much in programming.
Regarding the Market keyboard, I thought it was a free app. This is a paid app and paid apps are disabled where I live.
I'm confused now. There is another keyboard by the same developer and the same name here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
Is this the one you're using or is it the paid one?

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

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?

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,

Hello all,
I recently became a U8800 owner and I decided to flash it with the latest MIUI ROM, only to find out that their stock Android keyboard does not yet support text prediction in Greek or Greek keyboard at all. Since I didn't want to install a third-party Greek IME from the market, I decided to inject a Greek dictionary found in a previous CM Release plus a Greek keyboard supporting existing LatinIME.apk (from htc devs on a stock 2.3.5 keyboard apk).
It should work on all devices/ROMs, but you can try and share your results.
I also removed all other dictionaries exept english / greek to make it light.
How to install:
1. Navigate to /system/app using Root Explorer and copy/rename your existing LatinIME.apk to a backup folder in your SD card (just to be sure, should things go wrong).
2. Use Root Explorer to mount /system/app as R/W and then paste the new LatinIME.apk inside this folder. Change the file's permissions to rw-r--r-- after pasting.
3. Reboot your device and go to Settings > Language & Keyboard > Android Keyboard > Input Languages. Under Greek, it should now say "Dictionary available".

It wokrs correctly on HD2 with Xperia v42 ROM
Thanks
Nice to hear that it works ok.
It works also 100% on my Ideos x5
please reup to somewhere else! will test it on x10 2.3.4 with android keyboard running donut hd rom
Hi ! It's a good news, since I'm seeking how to do the same for the French language since a ROM i flashed my Wildfire S with doesn't support spell check or prediction for it.
Yet, I'm fairly new to the modding scene (my previous phone was a an LG oldie...) and don't know how all of this works, so could you please elaborate ?
Do you mean I should try and retrieve HTC_IME.apk (I'm guessing it's the equivalent of LATIN_IME.apk, but for HTC...) from the stock 2.3.5 ROM and replace the current crappy one with it ? Are the dictionaries contained in the apk ? If not, where will I find the French dictionary ?
Thanks for reading me, I hope you can help.
I would gladly click the "thank you" button for your OP, but I can't seem to see it...
So here goes the old-fashioned way : Thanks !

Yeah I stumbled upon this same folder en.us in usr/ and it's purely useless (in regard of our problem) as far as I can tell...
But I found a way to get it back and working. It's basically the same procedure, but for HTC. I just posted it, I hope it'll help others as well :

Hello everyone,
Please Download the new version perfect at post #3. Any feedback is appreciated.
I found a ICS 4.0.4 version in a Chinese forum "bbs.apkhot". The author is smilevvv. I did nothing but transfer the ROM to 4shared.
It's really good for some reasons:
1. Distinguish each SIM with the colors of signal not the background, I really hate the color of the background.
2. Icons return to the native ones.
3. Much more options in the "Developer Settings", such as background processes limit...
4. Better theme I think.
5. It is a muti-language version.
But it has some defects. Most serious one is Can Not switch the default storage SD : The default one is internal SD, but can not switch into external SD.
I tried several times to modify the vold.fstable, but still can not make it work properly.
So, would there be somebody like to challenge this bug?
Here is the link: 4shared
Before you flashing it, please edit the build.prop, the language default is Simplified Chinese.
Thank you !
Thanks. It's a very good rom.
New Version
Good news !
The bugs in the previous version had been fixed. It is almost perfect now.
Download Here
Before you flash it, you'd better edit the build.prop to change the default language.
And there are some apps at /system/vendor/operator/app/ , if you do not like them , please delete.
Declaration: I did nothing but transferred it to 4shared.
Thanks to smilevvv and apkhot.com
Enjoy it!
Tnx :good:
Thanks.great share!
It's possibile to have this rom with ICS stock app like Email, Calendar, keyboard,etc ? And Gapps
I read a lot of posts here abut installing Hebrew (MENUs) in android Chinese devices... But this is not my question
I just want to know - if the direction of right to left (rtl) is solved in android 4 version.
I want to buy Chinese device - leave the menu in English - and just want to type and read Hebrew (sms, surfing etc.) - (buy downloading hebrew keybord app).
thank you alot - this will help me.

IMHO, for writing hebrew and reading it, I think is not related to the Android OS version.
Also, I think maybe the problem is that you can not change the rtl setting in chinese devices.
You could try to get a multilanguage rom for your device and check if hebrew is included.
But that was just my opinion.
Have a nice day!

Hii
Hebrew is not included in the languages menu.
But I read a lot about that android 4.0.3 support RTL - and don't matter if it's Chinese or not.
Hi again.
I have tested with my phone, SGS+ with "paranoidandroid" rom (ICS) and changed the system language to hebrew (i think it was) and I can write from right to left using the stock android keyboard.
I meant chinese phones are less supported and you will have a hard time searching a compatible rom or even rooting it.
So, question answered?

I have about 15 ROMs here testing them and writing this overview but I cannot edit this post any more
Hi folks,
I like to do an overview of Lenovo A750 ROMs that are available on the web. Basically I am interested in Android 4 ROMs but we could list up 2.3 ROMs as well to have a complete list.
For that purpose I will update and extend this posting, that will be quite empty for the next hours. But I hope to get it filled this evening and with your help even more in the next couple of days.
I really hope that some people here speak Russian or Chinese and are able to post links found in foreign forums.
I found two topics in a Russian forum about A750 ROMs. One of them seems to be an overview:
http://www.forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=20815&start=380
http://forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?p=640831#p640831
I already tried some ROMs like Anton and apkhot but not sure if I found the most recent version. And I did not find them by Russian forums.
BTW setting language to English in build.prop before you flash is not a big thing.
So I'm going to collect everything I got now and it would be great if you could provide more links and maybe a translation of the Russian and Chinese ROM overviews.
Please let me know if you find any invalid links.

Cybermaus S148 V1 (2012-04-28) Android 2.3.6
This ROM is not installed by loading a zip file from recovery. It will directly be flashed by USB cable. As the user data will not be overwritten, it had my German language selected. But the ROM only supports English and Chinese. Only some apps support German. So I had a mixture of English and German in my test. It has the GoLocker for Lenovo and the Idea Widget. That is how the launcher is called. So happy I found it.
It has some nice apps such as Car Mode or Lenovo Task Manager. Playstore is installed.

It has two launchers installed and the nice lenovo lock screen. It has GoLauncher Ex but seems not to have a Widget. Lenovo Task Manager is a nice tool on that ROM. Playstore is installed but no File Explorer. I guess it's not rooted. Better link to discussion site appreciated if anyone knows.

Cybermaus S306 V1.3 (2012-06-18) Android 4.0.3
This ROM is mainly English and Chinese but has also some poor support of other languages (many items are still in English).
It has a Lenovo Magic Launcher with a buggy background, that may be fixed after changing the wallpaper a couple of times and rebooting.
Keyboard did not work until I installed the stock application ICS-keyboard.apk from here (German).
For installation first apply v1 and then update v1.3. Versions between can be skipped.

To install I removed the assert from updater-script but then just got "installation aborted". Better link to discussion site appreciated if anyone knows.
