Rebuild font pack in G1?

Can anyone know how to rebuiid fonts in G1 so that we can read Unicode perfectly. In fact, I'm using Vietnamese and my language has some letters like à, á, â, ừ, ă, đ,... Now that when I browse web which use Vietnamese, I just only can see the rectangle characters instead of those above.
I found out that in the system directory there has font. And I don't know how to replace those fonts with the Unicode one.
Any ideas for this problem?

You can use my modified update :
http://www.4shared.com/file/78879606/a6450d7b/update.html
I modified it to support multi-language

Can this pack fully support Unicode? Do you base on JF1.3 firmware?

Yes, It fully support Unicode and you can upgrade it to see Vietnamese websites. I have upgraded on my G1 and it's okay.

i've done it for hebrew - you can do it too
it's quite simple, all you have to do is replace the fonts in the fonts directory (only droid sans and droid sans bold) with fonts that you know have your language, after you replace these fonts (and rename them of course) you have to re-sign the update.zip file and update with it as you would with jfv1.3
so to recap:
open the jfv zip
navigate to fonts directory
delete droid sans and droid sans bold
copy your own (and rename them accordingly)
re-pack the file
sign it with apk sign and the recovery image's key
update it
really simple

Thanks for your Firmware Funbacon and thanks for the guide to cook firmware with my language fonts by eladkatz

Hebrew Support
Elad,
Thanks so much for your post. I'm a bit at a loss, though---
Where did you get the fonts for hebrew? From the SDK? And if you get them, and have root, why can't you just replace the ones already on the phone?
Also, is there any guides that you know of that would help me compile and sign my own modified rc30?
Thanks
Shalom, here and there...

Ah I found this sticky on repacking boot images... so that's good. But I would really like to replace my fonts directory... although i have a feeling it needs to be compiled.
Also, do you still have your modified hebrew rc30? thanks

I repacked update.zip with my own fonts but when it goes to verify the package, I get an error,
EDIT: Never mind I had signed the update incorrectly. Thanks for the initial instructions though.

I thought I answered you on Android Community forums. The instructions and Hebrew RC30 update can be found on iandroid.co.il forums.

I looked through them, and was unsuccessful. The posted rc30 mod there is no longer available, for one thing. Also I really wanted to know if uploading JF's rc30 would reverse their changes.

http://www.hoadam.net/jf141_unicode.zip
This version will let you use Multi Touch with unicode, not sure other languages but Vietnamese language looks fine. This also give you auto rotate for the browser as well.
Thanks all!

It will let you read/view websites with foreign characters. If you don't need then just use the original jk v1.41.

Well I have been having issues with hebrew fonts... is it necessary to use a unicode rc30 mod in order to get the fonts to work correctly? perhaps that explains why my formatting is all weird with the new fonts... either way the above mentioned update does not work...

I doubt it. I've read here that even if you install a font that supports arabic, letters are shown as not connected in a word. From what I understand, cupcake update 1.5 should support arabic, however this was not mentioned in the roadmap but was mentioned in articles discussing the leaked cupcake images.

[MOD] [19/08/2011] Arabic patch RTL + Browser for Sense 3.0 GB2.3.4 Roms

Hey VU beta 2.33.0 and RCMix3D 2.5 users
I looked at Madmack and Brightidea patching tool for Arabic language (Shaping) and I tried it on VU Beta and it works well.
Mind you it is only meant for shaping letters in browser/mail/widgets/sms.
I don't know whether it will work well with changing menus and UI language.
I will try my best to keep it updated with every new release.
I take no credit in making this patch all efforts go to the brilliant coders Madmack and Brightidea. So thanks go to them
Cheers
Arabic patch for VU 2.33.0b Flash via Recovery.

thanks mate but how can we install this patch, any instructions please.

thx it works for capychimp 2.3.4 rom also

just to make sure,I can browse gmail and browser in arabic and it works correctly? I don't care about menu since I use english for that anyway.I just need to read and write in arabic
ps:if you are using this patch,can we see pics from you? I also hope that it's using aljazeera or muhammed font instead of the default one.or you can edit it to that font if it doesn't

I think the partfield Arabic keyboard is included by default in the 2.3.4 roms. All you need to do is to long press on the text field and then select the input method.

For RCMix it is not, Already tested

I don't have rcmix Rom installed. I am more than happy adding the files. But someone needs to test it. (sorry I use vu).

Added Parfield keyboard zip
Added the keyboard in a separate patch as I guess some would rather install another third party arabic/persian keyboard.
To my limited knowledge it should work. Test and report please as I have it pre-installed in VU (it would help if you attach your logcat file along with your post).
Cheers

Both are good IMHO. But I always had vu. So I am sticking with it but from the Arabic pov, vu is better as they have Arabic localization and keyboard already with their Rom.

[HOWTO] Add Languages To Samsung Keyboard / Port Swype

this is my first tutorial, i hope i can explain everything good enough
today i will tell you, how you can add more languages to samsung keyboard.
and how you can port swype to every rom.
needed files:
in folder /system/app from the latest official firmware
AxT9IME.apk (& AxT9IME.odex*)
in folder /system/etc/permissions from the latest official firmware
touchwiz.xml
in folder /system/lib from the latest official firmware
libdhwr.so
libXt9core.so
only if you want to port swype, these files:
in folder /system/app from the latest official firmware
Swype.apk (& Swype.odex*)
in folder /system/lib from the latest official firmware
libSwypeCore.so
----------
now let's start:
1. replace/add all needed files in your rom
2. you can find the languages you want to add to samsung keyboard in the folder /system/t9db
you will need 3 different files for one language.
for example:
to add german language in your rom, you need these 3 files:
phonepad_de.kdb
qwerty_de.kdb
Samsung_400_DEusUN_xt9.ldb
add the language you want to use to /system/t9db in your rom
3. there is a need to add all languages (acronyms) you can find in your new /system/t9db
to others.xml ( /system/csc )
for example:
the code in others.xml for english (en), german (de), french (fr), italian (it)
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CustomerData>
<SettingsData>
<AudibleTouchTones>off</AudibleTouchTones>
<AudibleSelection>off</AudibleSelection>
<HapticFeedback>0</HapticFeedback>
</SettingsData>
<SamsungKeypad>
<inputlist>[COLOR="DarkBlue"][B]en(UK);en(US);de;fr;it;[/B][/COLOR]</inputlist>
</SamsungKeypad>
</CustomerData>
open /system/CSCFiles.txt
remove all lines with /system/T9DB/*
your cscfiles.txt should look similar like this:
Code:
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
/system/csc/contents.db
/system/csc/others.xml
/system/csc/feature.xml
/system/csc/sales_code.dat
/system/csc/customer.xml
/system/SW_Configuration.xml
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/CSCFiles.txt
---------
thats all.
don't forget to set permissions.. clear dalvik and cache, reboot and write in your favorite language ​

nice work will try .

i saw, that there are no csc files in aosp, cm9 and cm7...
so i have to add some more instructions to post#1
edit: done. correct me, if i have something forgotten.
if it is not working to port, i will try to fix it. if we can't port it, i will change the how-to to the simple "add languages"
maybe i will add a how to for adding languages to swype, but everybody can download the latest beta of swype on the website with much more included languages.

Dear texten.
I really did a deep study on this and i already done the things you mentiond.
However I have 2 problems.
1- the slide to change input langueges doesnt work.
2- arabic letters are not configured properly. It may due to font

1 - Yes I mean the space bar,,
2- Roms that support Arabic languages are very rare we have only 2.3 and old 2.5 gingerbread from Samsung. havent received any updates since nov 2011
I really tried to port arabic languages from 2.5 to European Rom such us KQB. Took those files you mentioned + the whole csc folder + t9db + patched framework with araboc patch, but I failed

ok i need all files , i have mentioned in post#1 - with the correct folder structure
edit: when i have more time, i will try this with cm9

well, i tried to port samsung keyboard to cm7.
there are much more changes needed as i thought.
so, i decided to change this tutorial.
maybe i will make a new thread only for "how to port samsung keyboard".

I've tried to port Samsung keyboard from 2.3 to CM9, it worked, but without xt9. Only QWERTY. On 3x4 layout I was able to type only numbers and symbols. When I've entered users' dictionary, it gave me FC. Logcat said language error. Don't have txt file at the moment.

Hate the keyboards which need full internet access, be aware that they may steal your passwords.

So to port swype is to just take those two files mentioned above and put it in any rom right? and will it work on cm9/cm10?

Is it OK to do the tutorial without having to edit CSCfiles.txt ??
Though I have found /System/csc/contents.db which contains similar links to system files with file size value, Should I try & edit that ??
Also others.xml doesn't have those lines mentioned in the tutorial, but there's language.xml file which have <languageSet> <Display> and <Input> <SupportList> tags .. Is that the file meant for editing?

adding tamil fonts

hi guys i want tamil font for my pico plz give some solution:crying:

Come on dude.. you know you'll have to give details.... like, which Rom you're using and etc etc...
btw, I think all stock RoMs support perfect Indian languages(you'll have to update it)...
If you're talking about custom roms ,then it's not possible fully as far as I know..
Because all Indian languages use complex scripts.. two letters to make one.. etc. Etc..
All cyanogen roms do have your language support, but you will not have proper rendering... you'll know what I mean, if you install it and see...
Some expert advice.....
use fonts in apps (tamil km,unpack it and take fonts out) and rename it to any name and put it in system/fonts
And then make the necessary changes in system/etc/fall_back fonts. xml..
Google it dude..
And even if you do all of this, you won't have proper rendering (conjuncts, grammar mistakes etc etc)...
For full rendering, you'll have to modify libskia.so and framework.jar... dev's work... anyone can become a dev now...

I have the same issue the letter ط is missing when type in ParfieldIME_arabic_keyboard_v4.0.410.apk instead it shows a ? sign in Android 2.3.7 SuperOSR but the letter ط shows in Hexagore ROM. IQQI Arabic keyboard seems to show the letter ط but the problem is it haves a on screen touch keyboard.
Can someone fix this plz?
