Yes Rohan ! I tried Gurmikhi font from the link given by you, but still script is rendered as blocks. I had read online that there's some compatibility issue with ROMS other than stock with regional fonts. Should I try on stock ROM ?

Eventally another font of a theme is used. Try to make a your own theme that only has your font files in it.

Try it on Stock ROM
On Stock ROM, it works..
Try the Gurmukhi thing TWICE>
Try this, download the Arial Unicode font from this link and replace it as DroidSansFallback.ttf,
http://elfadwaps.com/arial-unicode-...ts-most-of-the-asian-and-indic-languages.html
I think it should support punjabi font also. If it does not work replace original file.

Playing movies on rooted Devices!
original post by : ogdobber
you can rent the movie with a rooted device...you just can't watch it (but you can with this trick)
open terminal on phone
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/mu
close terminal and you will be able to watch rented movies on your rooted device
to revert open terminal
Code:
mu
mount -o rw,remount /system
mv /system/bin/mu /system/bin/su
google movie looks for su by name, easy work around because naming it to mu you still have suid, but rooted apps (as well as google movie) are looking for su "name" as well..with the terminal you can tell it suid is mu
gsript doesn't work on this because it too looks for su on the revert
you can copy the code to a notepad and paste it in terminal so you don't have to type every time
This is the only page on here.. where is the other link at for that?
and for everybody that dont know if you dont want to do the above mentioned code you can rent with market and then just watch it in your browser whether your rooted or not..

Hi there,
The problem is that when i have cell broadcast on my battery is empty in 8 hours.
My phone is rooted.
Using the stock rom.
The strange thing is, i can't turn it of, it is grayed out and it can't be turned off.
Now i have installed another rom (Htc_explorer_Europe_stock) from http://www.filecrop.com/search.php?w...m=1&engine_4=1
The Htc_explorer_Europe_stock have the option to turn cell broadcast off (yeah!) but it is not in my language.
My preinstalled rom is in my language but i can't turn off cell broadcast.
Is it possible to copy the dutch (netherlands) language from rom 1 to rom2?
Greets Kees.
Hi its pretty easy to copy language support(which means seeing your language in messages,email etc.,but you won't see your language in options, phone settings etc. ) from one Rom to another. Check the FAQ sticky thread for that.
For actual language in all the Rom and apk ,its a hard work. But there are tools for that as well ,I think in the general section of our forum.. .not sure.. search out.

There are ways to integrate languages into ROMs while building them. As you know during ROM compilation each APK is built from its package source that has been downloaded during the repo sync. I have found a script for it which can be used by ROM builders to integrate multiple Language packs.. this is by @cybojenix made originally for the p350 .. I am not an expert in ROM building so haven't tried this yet.. but here is the shell script :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
##cos I'm lazy and don't want to watch it all day##
## get the the right place##
cd /var/lib/jenkins/cm9
##################
## polish from english ##
## english is stock device config ##

## TODO: look up the line "PRODUCT_LOCALES := \", clear the language after it, and insert a new language, so it is universal to all device configs, to whatever language they are compiled in.
##TODO: automatically add the required files to a flashable zip and upload to ftp server/dropbox with an auto link generator so I don't have to be there at all ;)

SO, I WAS READING ( as i always do) AND CAME ACROSS A GROUP OF DEVELOPERS WHO HAVE MANAGED TO GET UBUNTU,LINUX,BACKTRACK 5 AND OTHER OS's TO RUN ON ANDROID.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT U DONT HAVE TO FLASH IT AS A ROM OR ANYTHING. AND IT ALSO DOESNT MESS UP YOUR ANDROID SYSTEM. ITS WORKS LIKE A VIRTUAL MACHINE, TO BREAK IT DOWN IT RUNS ON TOP OF YOUR ANDROID OS JUST LIKE ANY APPLICATION WOULD DO. BUT IT NEEDS A KERNEL THAT SUPPORTS LOOP DEVICES.(Dont really know what that is)
I PERNSONALLY TRIED IT ON THE MYTOUCH 4G AND IT WORKS VERY WELL, ONLY FOR A LITTLE BIT OF SLOWNESS (that happens when u have lots of apps running in the background.) SO I SUGGEST YOU RUN IT AFTER A REBOOT.
I TESTED IT ON THESE ROMS AND KERNELS
ROM KERNEL
***DARK UNICORN RESURECTED**** ****COMB_KERNEL_WOB****** (dont know about the rest of thier kernels).
***PACman_GLACIER v22.0.1********* ************3.0.66_CODERZS_KERNEL_2************
*****CYANOGENMOD 7.2*************** ************ COMB_KERNEL_WOB*****
THERE MIGHT BE OTHER ROMS AND KERNELS THAT MIGHT WORK. SO YOU HAVE TO TEST THEM AND FIND OUT.
NOW HERE IS A LINK TO THE WEBSITE
[[ http://linuxonandroid.org/ ]]
FOR IT TO WORK YOU WOULD HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE LUNCH APP (Its an APK file). THEN YOU DOWNLOAD THE IMAGE OF YOUR CHOICE BEING IT UBUNTU, LINUX,DEBIAN,BACKTRACK5 ETC....
FOR DOWNLOADS, YOU CAN VISIT THESE SITES:

HELP IS GIVEN IN THE APK. SO HOW HARD CAN IT BE
SO I THINK THATS ALL FOR NOW GUYS.

You have to open the terminal in Ubuntu. Then u type
"sudo -s" (it would ask for your password, enter it.)
Then type
"iwlist scan"
It would give you a whole number of interfaces. But WiFi should be on "p2p0".
Or u can type
"sudo -s"
"iwlist p2p0 scanning"

Its because your current kernel doesn't support loop device. You have to flash a new kernel. If you are using a mytouch 4g, and you using a non sense ROM, you can flash coderz 3.66 kernel or try other kernels.

I guess its the scripts that comes with the app,these same scripts are the ones which launches the backtrack distro. I personally faced some problems with the new scripts but i have the old version which works fine on my device. I would try uploading it or you could search for an old version of the apk.

Hello there Xperia PLAY forum!
So, after an entire week of work, I can release my first android application here:
it is an utility to enable touchpads on any rom that is supported (if you want me to support your rom, please post here) .
Description:
It is composed by 2 main apps (or code-talking by 2 main Activities):
A build.prop fixer
A flashable.zip extractor
The build.prop fixer basically modifies some of your build.prop values to match these values, in order to have a proper recognition of the device by games or apps.
The flashable.zip extractor extracts into your sdcard (into a path specified by the app itself) a flashable.zip which contains the fixed framework.jar and the Touchpads Activator app by farenheith for the rom you choose.
Sources
Here
APKs
Here
So here we are! If you find any bug just let me know.
Changes into v1.0.1:

added credits to krisdee as well
Lol just saw a broken boolean: gonna fix this

This app is meant to be used on Cyanogenmod (9 and 10) based roms, it won't fix touchpads on Gb :/
But there's a n64 emulator that allows u to use touchpads, i think it is called Mupen, unless you're using cm7

Well it's quite simple, but you can't use adb since adb executable isn't available on android, but still, you can use busybox instead;
the way I use to execute a cmd via, for example, a press of a button, is to define a Process and a Runtime.
Then you can obtain su permissions (in the OnClick method) by using the Process you defined, like this:
Code:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su" );
Then I use a DataOutputStream to exec other cmds (like mv or cp...)
Example to mount /system (where "//" starts comments:
Code:
[COLOR="Lime"]//Defining a DataOutputStream[/COLOR]

I'm busy these days, but ask me if you need anything (I'm not a java developer though lol)

Well it's quite simple, but you can't use adb since adb executable isn't available on android, but still, you can use busybox instead;
the way I use to execute a cmd via, for example, a press of a button, is to define a Process and a Runtime.
Then you can obtain su permissions (in the OnClick method) by using the Process you defined, like this:
Code:
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su" );
Then I use a DataOutputStream to exec other cmds (like mv or cp...)
Example to mount /system (where "//" starts comments:
Code:
[COLOR="Lime"]//Defining a DataOutputStream[/COLOR]
DataOutputStream os = new DataOutputStream(process.getOutputStream());
[COLOR="Lime"]//Using the defined DataOutputStream (os) to exec the command[/COLOR]
os.writeBytes("mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system\n" );

If slimbean is based on cm10 (fxp228 and up) then it'll work, but make a backup to be 100% sure

Hiya I hope that you are still around, I am still interested in the xperia play especialy as it looks like kitkat will come out for it any time soon. I am having trouble with the touchpads on my xperia play
I have a Jellybean rom, called SONYCM10 FINAL perfect in every way BUT a major issue that i was not expecting.
Touchpad Activator which is included in the build fails to work when pressing the (activate just for this app) button, it came back with
Error 1: android.view.ViewRoot, the touchpads failed to work in anything
I then installed your touchpad fixer, i have clicked the framework and buildprop buttons and restarted into recovery mode (lupus jb v13) and installed from zip file the framework (I gather that this is how you flash it?). When i restart the phone and test the touchpads there is still no recognition AND when i go back into your fixer app it still says text in red that i have still not fixed my buildprop. I also coppied the framework manually into my system folder and overwrote the original with the new one just incase the installer was not working.
What am I missing? am I not flashing it properly or what? Again I did not flash but just installed from recoverymode the framework zip...
The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is to extract your buildprop somehow and manually overwrite the one in my system directory?
Any Help would be most welcome...
Will this work with Xperia Overlay™ ROM (Android 4.4.4 KitKat)?
