Arabization quick fix for Gingerbread on HTC Magic - myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development

In order to Arabize the SMS
1. Download Honso's Multi-language keyboard from the market
2. Download Honso Plug-in
3. You might need to install Honso's Myalpha as well from the market
In order to Arabize the Web experience
HTC Magic user complain of Arabic letters not being displayed correctly while browsing the net on Gingerbread, this is mainly due to a RTL problem in most of the roms available. The problem mainly lies in the Libwebcore.lib and Framework files.
A quick fix can be achieved by installing the latest version of Opera 11 beta from the market and making it your default browser. This should give you an acceptable Arabic reading on the web, Twitter, Facebook applications.
1. Download Opera 11 beta
2. Make it your default browser
This was tested on Yoshi Ginger 6.1, GB Cronos but should work fine on most roms.

thanks man ... I use it with cronos and it works good

your most welcome, Honeycomb Android 3.0 comes with full Arabic support.

[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

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,

Arabic Gingerbread Keyboard

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???!!
<<I have the latest Arabic software & My device is not Rooted>>
really very good, i like it
thanks
Some Body helps me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
HD HTC HD
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?

[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.

@wbaw
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.

OK
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..???

thank you very much for making me leave from the battery eatter cyanogen
I noticed that the music player not work!
I tried to get it to work with other language: English
but still not work!
how it can fix?
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?

MIUI goes Open Source

A popular ROM MIUI has started open sourcing its project. Starting with the GB branch, a new site called http://micode.net features lots of the custom made source for
MIUI Notes
MIUI Sound Recorder
MIUI Framework
MIUI File Explorer
MIUI Compass
MIUI Porting Instructions
A translated document explaining the start of MiCode can be found here: http://pastebin.com/hMggcsR9
Also included is a 35 page PDF document explaining in detail on how to port the GB version of MIUI. This is great news for many phones will be able to run MIUI. The only problem is the document is in Chinese. I have begun the long steps of translating, but after 3 hours. I'm only 4 pages translated out of 35.
I've mirrored the Chinese version to http://miui.connortumbleson.com/chinese_port.pdf (due to the slow speeds of MIUI servers towards American users)
Thanks to Cyanogenmod and MIUI for the MIUI Rom.
Cool. Though I wish their browser would be on that list. I'm using Miren currently, which is an old version of the MIUI browser. It would be nice to have an updated version.
Pretty cool indeed. This should get more attention!
i really hope they get the MIUI file explorer made into a universal apk thats one of my main reasons for using MIUI and im missing it on my gnex
I made a little guide on what I've found of PatchROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479493
It's still largely incomplete, and I didn't managed to successfully port MIUI to my device, but it can be used as a starting point for someone.
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
miui fileexplorer souces are missing the net.micode.fileexplorer.R (r.java file?)
am i wrong?
I know it is a Chinese software, and has made big commercial success
thats great, i love miui roms...
