Hey to all,
this is a short tutorial how Devs but also "normal user" can add Arabic Support to a Custom Rom. (This process is usable for other Samsung smartphones, too).
1) Requirements
2) Downloads
3) How to apply Patch...
3.1) ...with Root Explorer
3.2) ...with a .zip Rom
1) Requirements
1. Your device needs to be rooted. (If you use the Root Explorer method)
2. Your Android version is 2.1 or newer
3. Your ROM needs to be deodexed. To find out if your installed ROM is deodexed, navigate to /system/framework on your phone. If you see a file called framework.odex then this patch will NOT work for you.
4. Your rom is NOT based on MIUI.
2) Downloads
1. Arabic Patcher (requires Windows)
2. If you use the Root Explorer method you will need Root Explorer (available in Market) or something comparable
If something goes wrong using this method reply and i´ll help you
Author of this tool is madmack! Link to his homepage
3) HowTo apply the patch
3.1) ...with Root Explorer
1. Download Arabic Patcher and extract it
2. Pull /system/framework/framework.jar from your phone and place it in the subfolder called "input" that you extracted in step 1. If you’re not using a CyanogenMod ROM (like Stock I9003 Roms), then you’ll also need to pull /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from your phone and place it in subfolder input that you extracted in step 1
! If you’re interested in getting arabic shaping in the Browser, pull file /system/lib/libwebcore.so from your phone and place it in subfolder input as well !
3. Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder output.
4. Put file output/framework.jar in your phone at /system/framework/
5. Put file output/libandroid_runtime.so in your phone at /system/lib/
6. Put file output/libicuuc-arabic.so in your phone at /system/lib/ This is extremely important, failing to place this file will result in a boot loop of your deivce
7. If file exists: Place file output/libwebcore.so in your phone at /system/lib/
8. If file exists: Place file output/lib__bcore.so in your phone at /system/lib/
Also included, the Aljazeera fonts in fonts. You can place these in /system/fonts and reboot Sometimes permissions and xml data doesn’t get updated correctly resulting in corrupted data entries. If you receive a bunch of Force Closes after a reboot, you’ll need to Factory Reset.
3) HowTo apply the patch
3.2) ...with a .zip Rom
1. Download Arabic Patcher and extract it
1.1 Download the Rom you want to patch
2. Extract the .zip of your Rom and search for /system/framework/framework.jar. Pull it and place it in the subfolder called "input" that you extracted in step 1. If you’re not using a CyanogenMod ROM (like Stock I9003 Roms), then you’ll also need to pull /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from your phone and place it in subfolder input that you extracted in step 1
! If you’re interested in getting arabic shaping in the Browser, pull file /system/lib/libwebcore.so and place it in subfolder input as well !
3. Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder output.
4. Put file output/framework.jar in .zip at /system/framework/
5. Put file output/libandroid_runtime.so in .zip at /system/lib/
6. Put file output/libicuuc-arabic.so in .zip at /system/lib/ This is extremely important, failing to place this file will result in a boot loop of your deivce
7. If file exists: Place file output/libwebcore.so in .zip at /system/lib/
8. If file exists: Place file output/lib__bcore.so in .zip at /system/lib/
Also included, the Aljazeera fonts in fonts. You can place these in /system/fonts and reboot Sometimes permissions and xml data doesn’t get updated correctly resulting in corrupted data entries. If you receive a bunch of Force Closes after a reboot, you’ll need to Factory Reset.

Yes, you have to apply the path again.
See attachement for an arabic keyboard, install it and then under "language in and output" (or sth like that) aktivate it. (I idon´t tested it, but it should work)

[ROM ORIGINAL & ROOTED EDITION] RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1 [UPDATE 12/16]
Searching the original RUU ROM?

>>>>> UPDATE <<<<<
OK, folks!
For some unknown reasons a lot of users asking for a REAL ORIGINAL ROOTED ROM. This is a PD98IMG.ZIP file which is flashable via the boot loader.
Now I'll present you this ROM at this download:
http://www.multiupload.com/AURLLESU5V
- EVERYTHING is still ORIGINAL
- NOTHING has changed or added or modified at this ROM
- Bussybox is installed
- Toolbox is installed
- Superuser 3.07 is installed
The ONLY exception is the RECOVERY partition. I still like to use the 4ext to do some backups and other things. That's the reason why I keep this partition within the ROM.
Finaly here are common questions and answers about this ROM:
Q: How to update?
A: Just download the PD98IMG.zip and store it on your SDCARD. Unplug the batterie, plug it back and press the VOL-DOWN key for enter the bootloader. That's it.
Q: Does it work on every device?
A: Don't know. But it's working on every device with S-OFF
Q: This ROM is a peace of crap! Why the hell the "lib" folder is not within the "system" partition?
A: This question you should ask HTC. If you need the "lib" folder within the "system" partition please use an other image than this because this is ORIGINAL!
Q: Where I can add some support question about this ROM?
A: Use the trash bin because I will not give any support or add features or anything else to this ROM.
Q: Do you plan to do other things with this ROM?
A: NO!!!!!!!
Q: I love this ROM. But I want to do some changes and release this to the community. Is this O.K.?
A: From my point of view this ROM is Public Domain. Don't ask. Enjoy it and do it!
Regards!

multiupload is much better so its a plus =D
how can i root it, i unintentionally install it on my phone and i cant get rid of
U need to install the recovery.img from mike1986 ROM 6.1x
How to do?
Make a PD98IMG.ZIP file which contains the android file and recovery.img
Flash this and then install the superuser 3.07
But fyi - the lib folder is outside the system.img
So if you want to install additional things to this ROM it might be that this will not work.

the two that dont get deodexed is maps and google voice if im not mistaken. just replace them with the apk's from market. This happens for most all htc ruu's.
The important files still get deodexed though, and thats what matters.

u are spot on abt the 2 files that fail to de-odex.
need a clarify abt "just replace them with the apk's from market".... u mean, while de-odex, just remove the file and after flashing the rom, then install the 2 files from market...
or i need still to replace the file before zipping them back into roms?
anyway, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Use whatever Rom you have on your device now, use a file explorer to get into /data/app and copy the Apk's specific to maps (com.google.maps) and voice (com.google.[somethingorother].voice) and copy em to your sd. Then plug in to pc, choose storage mode, and move em to your pc. Or if you're familiar with adb commands, you can go that route, but you need to know the exact filename of the Apk.

first method: before odex, i replaced the map.odex - de-odex didn't work
second method: delete both the map.odex & map.apk, then replaced with a map.apk - rom hangs on boot up
third method: delete map.odex & map.apk and continue to cook - rom hangs on boot up

Hi,
After flashing a custom rom I noticed that rom didn't have my language, so I wanted to add it to this custom rom.
After a great and long journey and thx to the info found on this forum I managed to add the language I wanted.
During the journey I started to write a small tool to make the whole process a bit less painful. The tool has been growing from as simple batch decomiple - recompile apk tool to 1 that adds the value folders and do the resources.arsc switch thing.
This is my 1ste release and is still a beta version so still has some errors, stuff to be added and bad code. But still I hope some of you can use it.
If you got any questions just post or pm
Greetings
Installing the tool.
Just extract all files to your root folder and run the ignite script as root. That's it.
There is a help option that guide you step by step.
EDIT: Small adjustment in the language lists and added the Custom_language_list option
EDIT: Like I said tool is still in beta stage, it seems that yesterday in my hurry to get it ready I screwed up big time (like command to make a cp without telling where to copy to) anyway already beta version 1.1 is out now
UPDATE: 1ste real release out now.
Killed some more bugs
Updated the help page
Added some layout editing
Added or updated the log handeling

There is a help function in the tool that guide through most of the steps from the moment you got your hands on tha apk files.
So now the question is how to get those apk files.
Well I like to use Android-Kitchen to unpack rom's, and you'll need that tool anyway to add the new apk files to the rom.
1. Decompile the rom containing the language you want. (Can be stock-rom, your original rom, other custom,...)
2. Copy all the apk files from the systeml/app folder to the stock_APK.
3.Copy the framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk from the system/framework folder to flare/framework and the stock_APK folders
The rest of the how you'll find when you start APK-Fire and use option 'h'
Note: Not all of the apk file will decompile without errors, those that give errors (like market, street, superuser,...) you don't realy need to add language so just delete those apk's from the stock_APK and the decompiled_APK folders.

To add portugees you can choose to add all the languages from the South_West_Europe list.
or
you put pt and pt-rPT (each on a diff line) to the Custom_language_list.
then follow the steps you'll find in help option.
picodaren said:

There is a windows version called APK Edit
Only prob here is that you have to open the apk that has the wanted language, copy those folders, open the apk from the rom where you want to add the language to and repeat this process for all the apk files 1 by 1.
If you take this road plz let me know how long it took yah

sure you can.
Step trough:
1 Set-up Android-kitchen
2 Decompile your stock rom
3 copy the content of the system/apk folder to the APK-Fire/stock_APK
4 copy the 2 apk files from system/framework to APK-Fire/stock_APK AND APK-Fire/flare/framework
5 Start APK-Fire and install the frameworks (option 1)
6 Decompile the apk files (option 2)
7 Add the language code to the Custom_language_list each language code get's it's own line. (you find this file in the APK-Fire/lighter folder) for portugees you add something like this:
pt
pt-rPT
8 Get the value folders containing the portugees language (option 4)
9 Now you can choose to back up the stock_apk and the decompiled_apk folders (option 6 / 1) or delete the content of those 2 folders.
10 Got back to the kitchen and decompile the Jaggyrom and repeat the steps 2 till 6 as before.
11 Now copy the value folders you took from the stock rom to the jaggyrom (option 5)
12 Recompile the apk files (option 3)
(check log for errors, warnings you could ignore but errors need attention, be aware that non stock apps mostly will give errors but those also don't need additional language)
13 Do the resources.arsc switch thing to fool the signature security (option 6)
(for more info what this is all about read the switch_resources script)
14 Copy your upgraded apk files from the APK-Fire/firebox/translated_APK folder to the Android-kitchen/WORKING_****/system/app (don't forget to copy the 2 framework apk files to the Android-kitchen/WORKING_****/system/framework folder and not the app folder)
15 Cook your rom
16 Flash the rom
17 Hold your fingers crossed while booting
18 Hopely enjoy the costum rom in your desired language.
Hope this helps you.

i dont know how to do it :/
if i give you my backup can you add pt language for the last jaggyrom ?
cumps
really??
I've already robbed the experience from you of wandering through the jungle of this mystic entity called Android by making the wandering seem nothing more then a walk through the park.
And now you tell me you don't want to know this mystic entity?
Nah I don't buy that, you almost got me there.
I'm willing to guide you through every step but I refuse to carry you.
If you'r on IRC or msn or I can meet you there to start your journey.
Btw at the current rate Jaggyjags is spitting out rom's I can't keep up adding stuff for everyone so I go by the rule:
You translate 1 version of a rom for a man and you made him happy till the release of the next version. You teach a man how to translate a rom and you made him happy for many versions

seriously, I know you like your phone and want get the best out of it but your maximum effort is installing .zip roms or .zip updates?
you've got 2 options.
1. Stick with whatever you have right now: your Portuguese backup or any available custom rom.
2. research, research again, try things out and learn. Try to stop asking people to do things for you. It's difficult, I know, specially when you are used to it, but don´t worry, it always is.
Believe me, it is a really nice feeling when you get things done on your own.
good luck
Would you teach us HOT TO DO IT MANUALLY (without using APK Fire)

Well.... all right then
I've explained most of how to add language already, k most of it in close relation with the use of APK-Fire. Anyway I'll try to explain the whole process starting from the base rom till the modified one.
Step 1
Check if your (custom) rom really really doesn't have your language. Try also 'morelocal' app. This simple step can save you lot's of time
Step 2
Now that you't sure that the (custom) rom doesn't have your language or you just want to add more languages to the rom you build your self you have to go and look for roms that do have the language(s) your want to add.
Possible finding places:
- different versions of the leaked stock rom
- Others people custom rom's
- Rom's for other devices. ! Won't work for the 2 framework apk files, but has good chances to work with the other apk files !
Step 3
Question now probably is how can I find out what languages a rom contains (specialy those for other devices). Well easy, you just have to dismantle the rom's and to be sure a few apk files.
The easyest way to dismantle a rom is to use Android-Kitchen. This tool doesn't need alot of installing or modification but I do recommend you read the how to etc.
So now you have easy access to all the content files of the rom.
Take a few apk files from the system/app folder and dismantle them with 'Apk Tool' or if you realy want to go hardcore 'aapt'. And check the 'app-name'/res for 'values-*' folders that you need.
Step 4
Now that you've found the folders containing the translation (those values-* folders) you've got to copy them to to 'app-name'/res of the afk file from the rom you want to add language to.
dismantled app from copy value folders dismantled app from
rom with language -----------------> rom without language
Step 5
recompile the dismantled app where you just added the value folders to
Step 6
You thought you where allmost done didn't you??? Now the real fun part just starts.
In order to bypass the security that check for the integity of the apk file we need to cheat abit.
You need the new apk file and the original apk (the one without the language)
*rename the 'app-name'.apk file (from both version) to 'app-name'.zip
*delete the resources.arsc file from the original 'app-name'.apk (now temporaly 'app-name'.zip)
*take that same file from the new apk file and copy it to the original apk
* rename the original back from 'app-name'.zip to 'app-name'.apk
* Copy that apk file back into the rom (Android-Kitchen remember)
Step7
Now you repeat this proces for ALL apk files you find in the rom.
Yup all +100 apk files from 1 rom + the same +100 apk files from the other rom need to get this treatment.
Step 8
Cook rom
So you see 8 simple step is more or less what it takes.
Same tutorial but better here

It doesn't seem to do the last step for me. The one that is supposed to copy the resources.arsc. It just creates another copy of the stock, without the new resources.arsc.
Any idea of what's going on? Would be a flavor to not have to do this manually!
Hmm I fully tested the latest update with the 2 rframework apk files and everything worked fine.
Are you sure that it's just a copy of the stock apk folder?
The switch_resources script does all the final steps. renaming, delete file from stock, copy from new to stock and rename back.
As I still have to add loggin to this part you should see an output on screen showing what the script is/was doing.
While that part is running you should see a folder called 'temp' (inside firebox or 1 of the subfolders of firebox).
Inside the firebox/recompiled_APK you should find a folder for each app containing the resources.arsc file.
And as last check you can compair the size of the 3 diff apk files. (stock, recompiled and translated). If I'm not mistaken the translated is the smallest (how strange it may sound)
Also make sure the tool is in your root folder.
If possible send me the output you get during this fase.

They are identical, not even smaller so Although i was running this in cygwin on windows so it might be that. I'll try to boot it up in ubuntu to see if it's any difference Could be the su that's messing with me in cygwin :S

Never tried it on windows with cygwin, I'm running a debian linux, so that could be the thing that's messing it up.
Still good to know that only that part doesn't work on windows, I'll see if I can modify the script.
THANK YOU Cosmoon !
I asked because I want to remove unsued language from framework-res.apk to make it slimmer

Hey guys
Arabic support on gingerbread and previous versions of android is really a pain in the ass .. at last there is a patch to work on any ROM
Its simple and effective
1. You need a rooted phone.
2. You need the ROM's source (zip file).
3. A ClockworkMod Recovery to flash the created zip file.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if u bricked your phone.
How to do it:
1. Download the tool from
For All Roms - here.
For MIUI - here.
2. Extract the tool to a folder.
3. Search for a folder called input folder and open it.
3. Open your ROM source with any zip software or extract it.
4. Search for 3 files
A. framework.jar - Found in: /system/framework
B. libwebcore.so - Found in: /system/lib
C. libandroid_runtime.so - Found in: /system/lib (HTC Sense and AOSP ROMs ONLY)
5. Copy these 3 files in the input folder we have previously opened.
6. Run commands.exe
7. Follow on screen instructions till it finishes making your flashable Arabic - Persian fix
8. You will find your fix in the output folder, copy it to your SD card and flash it through the recovery (Make a nandroid backup before flashing it)
At last your ROM can read the Arabic - Persian letters correctly. Enjoy
P.S i am not the developer of this tool i just tested the tool and it works like a charm. All the thanks goes to the devs of this tool.
P.S Your rom must be deodexed, take care of this.

The link u provided is a similar patch but it works for MIUI only I tried it b4 .. and when u flashed it to another ROM u r stuck at boot loop
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
using arabic_script for samsung p1010 wifi
i copy and pasted 3 files from sys of my android to input folder but my framework.jar is too small (12.2 kb) compare to original one and it gives error while using commands.exe .
any suggestions?
edit: your rom must be deodexed ,took me half a day to find this out. .check that before u do anything
Thanks a lot dear
Nice
Thank you !!!!!!! :victory:
I flashed the output zip file through recovery, the process was aborted so the flashing failed. The ROM is fine, nothing damaged.
My question is:
Is it safe if I replaced the output files inside the ROM's zip file and then install the ROM again?
Yes

Yes it's perfectly safe. I always did that with MIUI roms, by putting the arabic in the zip file then flash it. To be 100% safe just do a nandroid backup before flashing the new rom with the arabic files. Hope that helps, try it and get back to me.

I put the arabic files into the ROM zip file, wiped data and cache and performed a nandroid backup.
But when I tried installing the ROM with arabic files it said that the installation is aborted! What could be my mistake?
This is the exact text displays after the failed installation:
Installing update...
E: Error in /sdcard/Creed_3.5_totoro.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
I use Creed ROM 3.5 for Samsung Galaxy Y.
Am I using the right ROM for the right device? or can u help me get through this problem?

Did u replace the right files as mentioned in the tutorial, just make sure that everything is going exactly as mentioned above or in the tool itself. I tried this tool with more than 10 roms and it worked perfectly with every rom coz it injects the arabic to the framework itself. Please try again and make sure everything is done in the right way and get back to me.
Thank you very much!
I messed up before, but now...
My phone can read and write Arabic letters properly!
before i was worried because it won't write Arabic, but now I found the option in the Ice cream sandwich keypad.
Thank u so much!
At last

I am happy it worked for you at last. To write arabic download a third party keyboard that supports arabic. My recommendation is swiftkey 3, it's an amazing keyboard. If u r using the market alternative "Aptoide" add my store at http://haithammotawee.bazaarandroid.com or http://haithammotawee.aptoide.store.com and u will find the application on it.
Happy i could help you, enjoy ur Arabic phone.
P.S like the post please if it was helpful to you.

Does it say any other info or just err status (0)?!
hello
i have i9070 galaxy s advance
and i downloaded Romes jplk2 with Persian language and Ublph without persian language
jplk2 and ublph have stock rom
how can transfer persian language from jplk2 to ublph?
ublph better than jplk2
Some Rom doesn't support full arabic language, for exmaple the last "Runnymede v6 sense 3.5 rom" so here's the simpliest TUTO of "How To Make Your Device Support Arabic Language:
Patch Features :
-Arabic support in gmail.
-Arabic support in the browser.
-Arabic support in messaging app.
-And More...
___________________________________________________________________
So Here's The TUTO:
1) Download the patch below and extract it to a folder on your computer.
2) Pull /system/framework/framework.jar from your phone and place it in the subfolder input that you extracted in step 1.
3) If you’re not using a CyanogenMod ROM, then you’ll also need to pull /system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so from your phone and place it in subfolder input that you extracted in step 1.
4) If you’re interested in getting arabic shaping in the Browser, pull file /system/lib/libwebcore.so from your phone and place it in subfolder input as well.
5) Double click on commands.exe. Do not close the black cmd screens that will pop up. Once the patch is done, you should get a patched framework.jar in the subfolder output.
6) Version 0.800 provides a recovery flashable file in folder output. Place that on your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash it. If the flashing through recovery didn’t work for some reason, you’ll need to do the following manually:
-Put file output/framework.jar in your phone at /system/framework/
-Put file output/libandroid_runtime.so in your phone at /system/lib/ (if this file exists, it shouldn’t if you’re arabizing CM6).
-Put file output/libicuuc-arabic.so in your phone at /system/lib/ This is extremely important, failing to place this file will result in a boot loop of your deivce.
-If file exists: Place file output/libwebcore.so in your phone at /system/lib/
-If file exists: Place file output/lib__bcore.so in your phone at /system/lib/
7) You'll find also included the Aljazeera fonts in fonts. You can place these in /system/fonts and reboot.
8) Sometimes permissions and xml data doesn’t get updated correctly resulting in corrupted data entries. If you receive a bunch of Force Closes after a reboot, you’ll need to Factory Reset.
