Help needed for modifying code of Phone.apk - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hi guys,
Im a senior mobile developer but new to android, I need to modify Phone.apk to add the functionality of searching contacts using T9 keypad (numbers keypad) in languages other than english, current stock rom does not search arabic contacts so we are forced to use the full keyboard (imagine the suffering...)
I need someone to give me the brief steps for doing that, I have the SDK and already did a few applications...

I'd like to tell you that a Chinese ROM would be the best solution.

BenQ E72 Additional Languages

Hello,
Apologies beforehand if this is not in the correct place.
Being a new owner of the BenQ E72, I am trying to adapt the phone to my native language (Greek). The phone features Windows Mobile 6 Standard and supports the Greek language in terms of regional settings; however, it's not possible to type in Greek either via the numeric pad or T9 (absent).
After browsing these forums (and a lot Google-ing), I've collected some T9 Greek components in order to try to add the Greek language to it. Careful examination of the registry does not provide any clues about the existance of xT9, so I assume that the phone features the "standard" T9 (the 'old' one).
The problem is that even if the Greek T9 is recognized, it does not work on all applications, particularly the Messaging application (SMS). When the Greek T9 IME is selected, I cannot enter any words and the phone just beeps. The rest of the system correctly recognizes the Greek T9 IME and I can use it (e.g creating a new task, typing in Greek using T9 is possible).
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance.
No ideas about this?

WM smart dialer with "262" find bob and βοβ
so can have greek with htc smartdialer? or with other way on this dialer on the link?
Youn can find some clue on How to Change T9 Dictionary Language. More information can be found in this thread.
But I never try it, coz I use Chinese Language, which is more complex to do that that on an English ROM must use a seperate app.
The best smart dialer program for Chinese is called CeleDial, developed by Yonsm in 2007. Its English version though, does support multiple western language addons. Please check here. In the zip downloadable from the site, there are two files, the cab I'm sure it will support Greeks if you add a language file in the folder. But it will change a dial pad for you. It is a very nice-look and finger-friendly pad, but unfortunately the pad does not support 3G video call, since it was last updated in 2007, and 3G is not available in China at that time. (Strange it is still compatible all the way through WM2005, WM5, WM6, WM6.1 and WM6.5 now).
There is another exe file there, use this exe you don't need the cab, just paste a shortcut of this exe to windows startup folder. And this way it will not change the dialpad, only act as an addon for dialing program. But I'm not sure in this way it support additional language or not.
The advantage of CeleDial is: It will read from contacts, call history by any clue from your T9 input. Example if you have a contact named John Smith and his no. is 0123456789, you can just dial from the pad 'john', 'smith', 0123, 234 or 6789 to locate the contact, any along with you input more clue,the target range will narrow down. It is especially useful if you have many contacts. Like me I have more than 900 contacts named in different languages. But I never use the 'contacts' function of the phone, every time I want to look for somebody just go to the phone pad and dial some clue.

Questions about translating WP7 apps

Greetings every one
First I have some information i need to know about translating WP7 apps
What I understood (Correct me if I was wrong) is:
1) The main language of any App is : English
2) The English Strings are available in a "DLL" file
3) The other languages are brought out from resources DLL files
4) The Translation will be triggered only if the phone is configured for the language of its country, ex: The German language will appear only if the phone settings are set for that.
If the above is true:
1) Could the English language be in a resource DLL file?
2) Could the main language of the App be Null?
If the above is possible:
So It is possible to translate any App for any unsupported language in the WP7 Phones with only one condition that the Phone support reading it.
If the above is correct:
Please i would like to translate your App into Arabic to unleash the capability of translating Apps in my Cultured language.
If the above is some kind possible:
My Idea is to make the English strings to be read from outside resource file then replace it with an Arabic resource file then Deploy the software in a Windows Phone and Voila.. it is in Arabic
I appreciate professional developer answers and the software developer to consider this and try to figure this out, it will help a lot of people with other languages that are not supported in WP7.
Best Regards
Azdy

Changing only the "Phone" application language

Hey, so without further ado i'll just describe my problem.
I just got my S6 edge and everything is perfect, except something that might seem not important but really irritates me:
I'm from Israeli, so obviously my mother tongue is Hebrew and so are my contacts.
I'm used to call using T9 method, the problem is i'm also used to English as my interface language, can't stand the Hebrew because it also changes the interface directions and confuses me a lot.
The problem is when my phone language is English there are only English letters on the dialer pad, and it doesn't allow me to look for a contact in Hebrew.
I looked for a way to add or change T9 language without any luck.
On my previous phone (S4) i used an alternative dialer, Ex Dialer, which was great and allowed me a lot of options, including adding a T9 language.
I would use it again now but I'm really not interested in rooting my phone, after rooting and too much flashing practically ruined my S4, and without rooting there's a problem that prevents the Ex Dialer app from cleaning unanswered calls and i have to open the stock Phone app each time I missed a call to clean it.
I'm looking for a way to use the stock dialer but change its language to Hebrew without having to use Hebrew as my main language, or any other alternative solution.
Thank you.
Anyone..?
A lot of time passed and i can't find a solution to this seemingly simple to solve problem... Anyone?
