As I'm sure you know whenever you dial a number in ICS or browse through contacts it shows up as 123 456 789. While it doesn't bother anyone living in the US, it's quite annoying everywhere else.
Using Gingerbread, changing the language to English (UK) disabled the number grouping. The only problem is it does not work any more in ICS, whatever language I set.
Is it possible to modify the phone.apk to disable number grouping or at least modify the location of the break?
To be clear I would like my final result to resemble the mockup in the attached screenshots
Doesn't anyone know?

In contacts on the right, there is a shortcut image with the ABC and by touching it, it shows you the letter you touch in big size right in the middle of the screen, and when you release it - you have the name who's started with that letter.
How can I customize it? I want to change the ABC to Hebrew letters.
I know i'll need to make an Image with the Hebrew ABC... but where I can change the fonts thing?
Thanks!

I suggest you download htc's "random access" and edit it..

I edited the file(s):
RandomAccess.dll
RandomAccessChooser.dll
with HEX editor, and it's show me the right Fonts in the files.
But when I was replacing my files with the ROM files, it's shows me strange fonts instead the normal Hebrew ABC...
I'm sure it's a problem with the fonts and not with the files itself because on my computer it's shows the rights letters.
How can i fix it? how can i send the files to the right Hebrew fonts? I'm using the Free Hebrew method
are you using the hebrew version of the arabizer we were working on in the Polaris section?
this has nothing to do with the current language support you have on your device.
fonts show on a device regardless of what the primary language used on the device is.
If hebrew fonts on your version of random access are chosen, and you have the same fonts in your device, you should be able to see hebrew.
the only problem i can think of that would make your device not show hebrew in random access is that the program defines the default fonts from inside the app itself.
that is, it has a specific font embedded into it, and that's what it shows.
if it reads a font from the operating system.. it should show fine.

I believe it's the second thing you said because I didn't found any other problem with Hebrew font's on my device.
Yes, i'm using the free Hebrew you worked on
So, do you have any Idea how to find the specific place inside the whole HEX thing that touching the fonts issue?
It's strange - I Can see Heb fonts in Contacts and even search contacts by using the Resco Keyboard with the Hebrew support, so i'm not sure it's the Contacts app fault.
Thanks for helping me, waiting for your answer
thnks
i used that information too thnks
unfortunately, embedded info is something which is hard to find for someone like me who's a megajunior developer.
in flash, for instance, you can see it directly in the Flash App itself... as embedded chars are defined manually.
i don't know how to look for embedded chars in other apps..
Hi there,
Thanks as always to all of the developers and pros for indulging my questions.
This post is in 2 parts.
First, has anyone else noticed the different ways that android presents auto completion? For example, with the ION keyboard, when using the mms app, the contact prefill comes in a vertical scrolling menu that has the persons name and part of the phone number. Like so, "John Smith <212-55". This font is medium size and at least gives you part of the persons phone # although it does not give you the number type i.e. mobile.
Sometimes the mms app will display the contacts in the horizontal scroll similar to the spelling auto correction. This is far more convenient in my mind as it alloes me to see all of the phone #.
At the same time, the gmail/mail apps display the contacts in a vertical menu but in a much larger font. So I end up with "John Smi" and no idea which email address. I essentially have to figure out which email address it is by selecting them one by onr until I get the one I want.
Similar issues arise with the HTC/haykuro keyboard except that sometines it's the vertical menu and other times it the floaty horizontal/expandable menu. This particular menu is really annoying in that it will cover half of the screen if there are many contacts that it prefills.
Is there a setting or preference file that can be edited so that the auto corrections/prefills appear the same way?
The second part is to get your opinion in the best keyboard. I understand that there arw three distinct keyboards. The ION keyboard. The HTC keyboard. And haykuro's keyboard.
It appears to me that the ION keyboard is the least liked of the three. I actually prefer the look of it and ot feels to be the fastest, however the spelling correction and predictive text on it is retarded.
HTC's keyboard I find is good for spelling correction and learning user words, but I find that it gets quite slow. Also, I find the keys are harder to hit as they seems smaller but that just might be in my mind.
Haykuro's keyboard doesn't really have anything wrong with it but I just don't like the fact that it doesn't have a uniform look from the alphabet pad with the long press keys to the number pad that just has the single character on each "button".
Anyone want to add their thoughts on their keyboards? Ultimately I'm looking for a fast and smooth typing experience.
Thanks for your time!
Well is there any way to change the language in dialer cause my contacts are not in english and cant search them with keypad ,even I change system language to my language in dialer under the numbers is english ? I know I can go manually to people and search,but it is slow process ... Running ViperS 1.3.0
well I thing it supposed to rename my contacts with latin letters ...
Hardware keyboard makes "I" from "i" even if I turn off auto-capitalization in settings. Any Idea how to turn it off? In polish "i" means "and", and should be written as lower case.
That's possibly an auto correction feature or something like that.
Try to turn off any feature of those. Just a guess but hopefully a good one.
I turned off everything, even in softkeyboard, and problem still exists..
You can try removing those shortcut entries from the dictionary:
Code:
word=i,f=0,not_a_word=true
shortcut=I,f=whitelist
word=il,f=0,not_a_word=true
shortcut=I'll,f=whitelist
word=im,f=0,not_a_word=true
shortcut=I'm,f=whitelist
They reside inside the LatinIME application. It seems like shortcuts are handled even when auto correction is not requested, you might file a bug report for that.

I had no time so I just deleted LatinIME and rebooted for test. Problem is still present, even there is no softkeyboard. And I must to say this auto-capitalization happens only with hardkeyboard, when I'm writing with my screen "i" is always lower case.
I just tried to reproduce it but I failed.
I have set systemlanguage to english (US), also turned on the spell-checker and set the hardware-keyboard layout to Asanti-QWERTY and also english (US).
I have no idea what could cause that.
Maybe you share you configuration with us.

Stock 4.1.2
system language: English
physical keyboard: edited keypad_8960 (default) - I tried changing that to some non english ones with no success.
software keyboard: actually none - deleted LatinIME.
spell check, auto-replace, auto-capitalization, auto-punctuate - off
Don't know why I didn't check this before, but changing system language to Espanol solved problem, so this is some clue. Any ideas where to search now?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok, I changed language with MoreLocale 2 to Polish and everything is fine now. Just one more question: does anybody know what this app is exactly changing?
Well, it is the Stock ROM, of course I cannot reproduce it, I am on cm11.
MoreLocale changes not much, just a variable that refers to the language. Afaik it does not modify the ROM (/system).
It may work on Stock ROM. But please keep in mind that it is supposed to run in english/spanish. That means, that some things will either crash or just stay english.
I remember hardly that there were some things which let me let the Stock ROM running in english. Maybe it was just a mix of my chosen language and english.
So far everything is working fine, system is still full english, but this is not bothering me as I only wished for lower case "i".
I'm curious what this changed exactly, so in future I could change it manually without app.
Anyway, I'm fully pleased with this solution by now
After upgrading to lollipop, I noticed this Japanese characters replacing some letters especially on chrome. Also on some programs I see Japanese symbols just like the one I'll attach here. Anyone knows how to get rid of these?
On xperiablog i have too.
Any other website is displayed correctly.
Same thing on my z3c
haha, flow & slow may be the meaning... I would say it's xperiablog specific. (It doesn't appear if desktop site is selected in settings) and should be any arrows or whatever.
Pretty sure rhis is coincidental. Theyre using a downloadable web font for navigation icons, and the font just isn't loading. Some sites use a normal character like a letter or number as a placeholder; they're using a random unicode character which happens to coincide with a Chinese character
