-----------------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

Per everyone's request for Dream/32b support. Enjoy!

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
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.

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
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...
I wear a x10i, after I read carefully I decided to try using the rom-3.2.30 MIUI V7.0, everything went well the results are very good. But unfortunately for the language can not use the regional language to the country Indonesia. whether the development MIUI rom-3.2.30 V7.0 can further support for multi language? Thank you xda developers.
ROM that I use can be viewed on a post

Moving to Q&A
Load the normal MIUI Version in Indonesia on which this one is based. Now you open both roms with 7zip you switch the apk's in the app directory and you change the framework-res.apk in framework.
Now your Rom should be in Indonesia. I did this a couple times with other MIUI Roms to get them in German!
Thankyou verymuch
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.

ROMs for Android 2.3 Gingerbread
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.

BaderMQ S148 Multilang+Arabic Fix (2012-05-15) Android 2.3.6
This ROM is very nice. Its located to en/UK by default. Supports Multilanguage - at least German is supported quite good. Keyboard is only in QWERTY. 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.

ROMs for Android 4 ICS
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.

bgcngm S143 Hebrew fixed by BN (2012-03-29)
build.prop says it would be a S306 from 2012-05-30 and Android 4.03. Boot language is set to zh (Zhongwen - simplified Chinese). It also has a lot of Chinese apps in its system/app folder. To install I removed the assert from updater-script but then just got "installation aborted". Better link to discussion site appreciated if anyone knows.
