Hi Guys,
I'm new here and this is my first post here, so be gentle with me.
I have a T-Mobile Pulse (Huawei U8220) that is running my own custom rom called J-MOD which is based on Android 2.1. The rom is working great but I want to try and solve a little issue that is niggling at me, it's not a show stopper nor does it cause any trouble etc...
When I open the wallpaper gallery I get 3 wallpapers and 11 empty slots, I am trying to add 2 more wallpapers to the gallery and remove the remaining empty slots, but I'm struggling to achieve this.
My ROM uses a themed version the Stock Android Launcher, I've decompiled the launcher.apk using APKTOOL and modified some XML files and tried to recompile the APK but I get loads of errors when I do this.
Do any of you guys know how to do this? Any pointers you can give me?

Update: I've added to the attachments Moo-gbkb-ar.apk . It is an Arabized version with dictionary for the "Keyboard from Android 2.3" version 1.0.11 by Steven Lin so the credit goes to him for the original application (here is a link to the original application in the Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free)
Moo-gbkb-ar.apk resolves a FC issue on Desire HD...
This is an Arabic/English Keyboard based on hotaru's post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202
The keyboard has a big Arabic dictionary.
The first file has the source files for the xml keyboard layouts and binary dictionary and Arabized strings. It is only for developers and you don't need it if you just want to run the app.
The second file is the APK file that can be installed directly.
If i install this on my nexus 1, will i get correct arabic letters, right now they are disconnected. if yes how to install them???
i know how to install the .apk but i have no idea what to do with the .zip file.
if this would enable me to read arabic on my nexus1, i will be so thankfull for you.
If your phone is not already Arabized this will not Arabize it. It only makes it possible to enter Arabic characters.
Is your N1 rooted? and what is your Android version (look it up in Settings=> About phone)
The attached zip file is for developers who would like to use the xml source or the dictionary in other apps. It is not for end users.
no my phone is not rooted...my android version is the latest 2.2.2
i can write arabic letters using "ibrahim keyboard" i downloaded it from the market, but can't read arabic from browser or other apps like twitter or facebook, as i said the letters appear disconnected.
i guess i still have to wait for the gingerbread release.
Gingerbread is not going to fix the disconnected Arabic characters problem based on the following article:

Rooting is not that hard and it gives you flexibility in changing many things including fonts...
You can use this simple method to root:

and then flash the Arabized libraries from here:

didnt woek with HTC Desire HD...
can i get the Desire HD version of this Keyboard?
Can you explain more what the issue is?
I always interested to have an Arabic keyboard in my device. I am using HTC Desire Z with Android Froyo. Is this keyboard compatible with this device as someone has reported that this keyboard is not compatible with HTC Desire HD? Please Android Expert, help!
can work in galaxy tab?
I use it on a Nexus One with no issues. I would appreciate if you download it and let us know if you had any problems.
To activate the keyboard you will need first to go to "Settings"=> "Language & keyboard" check on "Gingerbread keyboard". Then go to any text box (for example create a new message) and long press on the text area until you get a list of options. Choose "Input methods" and then select "Gingerbread keyboard".
Dear Arabia,

Can you attach the apk file that you got from the market (or a link to it) and I'll check it out for you.
For the force close issue, can you help me troubleshooting it by uninstaling my apk and installing the one in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875202
test this apk, if it's force closing, then we'll need to report that to hotaru. If not then please let me know and we'll try to take it from there.
Regards,
Yahya

Dear Yahya,
First of all, i would like to thank you for your kind reply,,
Here you go, the link of the Gingerbread Keyboard from the Market which works with me ( No Arabic ):
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin
Inshalla, i will install the one you advised me & will let you know by today it self.
Warm Regards
Salmin
Dear Yahya,
Just tested the one you advised me , and the same (Force Close Issue) i am having..???
Hope to hearing from you Soon.
Salam
Salmin
I'm sorry Salmin this means that the original apk has the issue. Only hotaru would be able to fix it. I only added the Arabic keyboard and I don't know that much in programming.
Regarding the Market keyboard, I thought it was a free app. This is a paid app and paid apps are disabled where I live.
I'm confused now. There is another keyboard by the same developer and the same name here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.moo.android.inputmethod.latin.free
Is this the one you're using or is it the paid one?
I am not trying to do something illegal by signing app made by someone else into mine.
Actually i made a live wallpaper with Custom Live Wallpaper Creater 2.6 and when i upload it to the market i get an error that the application is signed by the android team, please sign it with your own certificate and key.
I googled a lot and i have tried the signing method using eclipse indigo but i am unable to create my apk file because i havent compiled my wallpaper through that software. I am a newbie in app development so i am facing problem in signing these apps so that they can be uploaded to the android market.
Can someone please help me ?
Is it possible to use this specific calendar apk on other android phones? If someone can provide the apk, I can test.
Since we are getting this update in the fall and others are getting this beta right now. Is someone working on an apk not zip for our X? Just the basics besides the wallpaper and keyboard? I have this theme installed. How do we add a theme pack in settings of our phone?
