Has anyone tried to add Arabic/Hebrew fonts yet? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Since my Galaxy S is coming very soon, I was wondering if anyone here has successfully added Hebrew/Arabic language so that we can see it in the browser and in SMS.
Any tutorial?
Thanks.

I did with Hebrew fonts and it is working fine. Delete the fonts under /system/fonts and copy the new fonts to that folder. I used root explorer to do this.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

For me
I rooted my SGS then copy tahoma.ttf from windows to /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf and it read arabic but reversed and it should also read Hebrew

So Hebrew is ok.. no problem.
For Arabic, I read somewhere that its reversed and they are not attached to each other (like space is between each character).. is it right?! Whats the solution to this?
Where can I download those fonts?

there is a full Arabic rom with the phone in UAE this is the proof but with out market we trying to dump that rom or wait until the rom uploaded to

you can dump /system folder that what we need by writing this to adb shell or terminal in your phone (your phone should be rooted and busybox installed)
su
tar -cvf /sdcard/dump.tar /system
you will find dump.tar in you scard (size ~268MB) and you can compress it and upload it to Rapidshare or mediafire or what ever you like
I will make it installable through update.zip or Odin3
Thank you

Good.
here you go hani1980

Even if we manage to install the dump that hes going to do
Will all the interface be in Arabic?
What if I want English as the interface and also want it to display Arabic language on Browser and SMS?

my first cocked rom
base on I9000XWJG1
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=229115

Mumtaz Hani, Great work man, I am downloading it right now !
Can I use JFF CSC file rather than the JG1 with your ROM ?
Hani, the link for downloading the ROM seems to have an Issue!

Indeed amazing work Hani,
I was wondering if you mind sharing the font files only, and if it will work if I install only them without the whole ROM since I already use another one. Will there be problems?
Thanks.

I have JG1 with JFF CSC, I'm going to try to install the update.zip only and see if it works !

I just went to that forum and noticed that there is someone that already asked the same question and Hani told him that he have to use Hex Editor or else it wont work.
Any one knows something about Hex editing that can make a mini guide on how to do it?
Thanks.

Hani amazing
It maybe a good idea to post this in english in xda...what do you think

I rooted my device and i pushed the market but unfortunatly i cant see protected apps anyone able to?

so you deleted the original DroidSansFallback.ttf, renamed the windows tahoma.ttf and copied it instead to /system/fonts/?

[Q] How to extract htc_cime from a GOAPK ROM?

Hi,
I've asked a couple of times in the past how to get the htc touch input chinese module on a phone using the new 2.2 ROMs appearing on this board. I'm running the stock rooted ROM 3.15.405.3 but it only includes European keyboards.
GOAPK.com, the Chinese android developer site, has a new ROM for 2.2 out as well which includes the keyboard and handwriting recognition I want, its called htc_cime. My question is how to extract just the IME files and add them to an existing installation as a zip or apk, or how to include the files and add them to the ROM to install from ROM Manager.
I've found an APK under the \system\app\HTC_IME.apk of the GoAPK ROM but it won't install on its own... I get a warning saying that "This is a system application, do you still want to replace it" but it fails saying "Application not installed". Is this the right file? What am I doing wrong, where are the IMEs stored inside a ROM? This file isn't present in any of the other ROMs, so I guess it might not be the right one.
Files:
The download page for the whole GoAPK ROM, you need to register and post before you can download. Their BBS is as annoying as their ROMs are...
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-34891-1-1.html
Link to the APK I extracted from that ROM
http://www.fileshost.com/download.php?id=B0F7369B1
Let me know if I should post any more information. There have been a few people asking for this in various forums, would appreciate learning to do it so I can teach others!
Why bother... Asian FroYo OTAs were released recently...
Mainly because I don't want to lose root. The only way to get an OTA is to unroot and downgrade to 1.31, correct? Or are there rooted Asian OTAs around somewhere?
There are several posts lying around explaining how to apply OTA updates and stay rooted... I think I wrote one myself...
Edit this file system\customize\MNS\default.xml in your rom.
<function name="default_IKB_settings_checked">
<set name="single">
<item name="checked_list_latin">English;Handwriting;CangJie;PinYin;Stroke;</item>
</set>
</function>

"Handwriting" namely htc touch input chinese module.
you should be make a rom, include HTC_IME.apk.
I'm sorry for my poor english.

[REQ] Samsung keyboards with Gingerbread support

i bet u are older here
so i think this thread ain't posted on the right place
and if u wanna gingerbread keyboard go download it from the market
or just download multiling keyboard from the market its free and got nice theme for gingerbread
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by "older"...
About the Samsung keyboards:
I'm talking about "stock" Samsung keyboards which the xda development community was able to extract from other stock ROMs and add to development Froyo ROMs where such input languages, such as Dutch or Hungarian, were not available. If you follow the link provided, you will find instructions that describe how to add the additional input languages to all Froyo ROMs. This is therefore "Android development", which is why this thread is perfectly positioned on xda.

Hey guys,
i am looking for a current version of the windows phone version of WhatsApp.
I could not find anything via Google or on XDA, so I would appreciate if someone could pull the whatsapp cab or xap file from his windows phone and make it available here.
Thanks in advance!
what's the point of that?
its available in marketplace man ..2 mb no need for xap

No...this is the older version...the newer version seems to be more buggy and ppl want to revert to the old one.

Something changed....
I tried to download whatsapp xap using Phone7Market today. It downloaded the file succesfully, but something seems to have changed, I can not open the file as a zip file any longer, not using 7zip, not by changing the file-ending...
Did Microsoft change to encrypted apps yet?
Don't they need to update the devices to do that?

EDIT:
Phone7Marketplace can't handle the file, too...
Direct download from apps.marketplace.windowsphone.com doesn't download xap file but some strange html file...

Yes and yes.
Microsoft enabled PlayReady on all XAPs from the market now, they're encrypted. They did update the devices for this - Mango added support for PlayReady. So far it was just not turned on in their server side.
