Tamil/Hindi/Sinhala Rendering Port - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In DDLB2 Samsung has included support for South Asian Languages, such as Tamil, Hindi, Sinhalese.
Browser, system interface everything in the above mentioned languages render and display properly. will this be included in Future firmwares from now on ?
If not, How can I port the content from this DDLB2 to a furture rom ?
Including the font in System/fonts folder does not work.

Today I Install ICS Repack by chainfire on my galaxy note. But It can't render South Asian languages (I can confirm that sinhala is not working). LB2 was very cool and It rendered South Asian languages 100% correctly.
I also need to know whether LB2 language support can be applied to ICS Repack as well. Anyone can help ?

The Files that are needed for porting is still unknown.
Otherwise I couldv'e given it a try.
Only DDLB2 Supports Sinhalese, and Tamil. All other Roms mess it up.

On SGS ir was very easy, just copying fonts, was enough to work. But on Note this trick doesn't works.
I think you should have indiandroid font installled on note, as well CSC also should be INU to work.

I use German CSC all the time. It still worked without messing up the rendering.
I did an experiment, I ported these smali files from the native firmware to the latest, and rendering issues were somehwhat corrected with minor errors.
Inside Framework.Jar -
Graphics / canvas.smali, paint.smali
Text / Layout$Directions.smali, Layout.smali, StaticLayout.smali, Styled.smali, SpannableStringBuilder.smali

I have just flashed german LC1 y'day, N indian fonts are displaying without modifying anything...

i also update ICS on my note. can say ok.
hope the ASIA issue will be ok for us...

DDLC1 Supports Sinhalese Fonts as well.
XXLP8 SriLanka too, But no signs of a place to start porting them ...

wht about gb
Since the ics bug I'm on gb, so how do i install hindi font on my note

In Indian stock GB, hindi font is preloaded..
Asoka keyboard preinstalled when I was on Gingerbread 2.3.6.

I updated my Galaxy Note with German ROM since I could not wait for the Indian firmware update as it was taking ages.
I have a lot of tamil epubs that were rendering fine on FBReader, Moon Reader when my note was having the stock GB ROM. But since the German ICS update, the rendering not good and reading is very difficult (the glyphs are getting rendered in wrong places). However, Tamil font renders fine on the browser, Facebook app.
Any ideas?

I also observe the issue you are referring to.. Tamil font rendering is an issue. Glyphs render in wrong positions. I am also unable to use the Anysoftkeyboard for tamil. I am unable to type கோ , போ etc.
This for sure is a bug and I do not think that Samsung has taken a note of this as yet. Until Samsung fixes this, custom roms as well are going to continue to have this issue.
For now the only solution seems switching back to gingerbread.

Need sinhala font for ICS 4.0.4 for I9100
Waiting for sinhala language to use on i9100 SII. If any one hear please pm me.

Is this the case for SGS Froyo too, or was that an HTC stunt?

Try this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10258973/EU GalaxyS Keyboards.zip (~24M)
It is downloaded from XDA (can't remember where).
Includes:
EU GalaxyS Keyboards/HTC_IME (not needed)
EU GalaxyS Keyboards/Samsung/sys-app/ (copy files to /system/app/ )
EU GalaxyS Keyboards/Samsung/sys-lib/ (copy files to /system/lib/ )
EU GalaxyS Keyboards/Swype/sys-app/ (copy files to /system/app/ )
EU GalaxyS Keyboards/Swype/sys-lib/ (copy files to /system/lib/ )
Now you should have working keyboard.
Make sure you have enough free space in /system !
EDIT: I don't know about 3x4 keyboard
okey many of the ROMs i found do have the 4x3 keyboard but not the swedish dictionary that is a must to have when you use T9 and i also want to have Suomi dictionary

[Q] OS Low level modifications

Hello everybuddy
Happy to be among you XDA members
I am new to android, I know how to work with Odin and what a custom ROM, rooted OS,... mean and need some answers to figure out some concepts:
1. I guess Google has made android a modular and structured platform, is it possible to extract some base applications from one ROM and install it on another one currently running on the phone (i9000 in this case), for example is it possible to extract ICS sms app and install it on a 2.3.3 ROM on the phone? or for example extract excellent Samsung keyboard from stock 2.3.3 ROM and install it in a custom ICS ROM?
2. How android manages input languages? for example I see one ROM providing 6 european languages and another with middle-eastern ones... does android provide a regular method to install and uninstall input languages from standard keyboard? (for example you may tell take X files from some ROM and add them to Y folder in another ROM) if so I may add some languages to an ICS custom ROM.
3. How it manages fonts? is there a regular method to add other fonts to the phone? and how to set the default one?
4. A strange problem I saw in a custom ICS rom was that it kept phone numbers in dash-based format (i.e. 090-233-23-23) and if the numbers already in address book was simple and dash-free, wile receiving incoming calls the phone app can't match the contact name in the address book and only shows the number! How you may change this? I like numbers stay simple and dash-free!
5. How to analysis all low-level OS files currently on the phone? for example is there some PC software similar to Odin that connects to phone and shows file system tree ?
Thanks in advanced for any help and reply
as far as keyboard goes if you are talking about swype you can get the swype beta which is free and works on Ics.
I have this on my phone running team icsgs.
Just do a quick google search for swype beta.

thanks for the reply,
I don't mean Swipe, all the features it provides, the way it changes language and...
I need to figure out how android provides modules
Hi, did you find out how input languages work? I just installed the ICS333 ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) and would like to add Greek, which is not currently listed (in the Android keyboard settings > input languages).
low level?

You can make a backup in Philz recovery and after install and try eybee's mods. If they do not work, you can restore the cwm backup.
I'm using XXLSZ kernel in the JPLSB Roms. Apart from the languages there is no sign or proove of any difference between the latest official releases.
Try and tell us.
Be careful in using mods that are not meant for your version of firmware. I tried the 4 way reboot on LSF and I got stuck on samasung logo the moment I rebooted. I had to reflash the whole LSB. Good that I backup apps via tiatanium.

All these apk have arabic ressource files in the original JPLSB, if using modded apk from XXLSZ they do not have them (of course).
Two possibilities: some members start modding the original apks with the necessary steps
or
someone adds languages to the modded apks - I will try this now for one or two mods - want to know if this results in something usable.

Iam using your UAE Dedeoxed rom , if you can modify those mods and I can test them with you
There is a rom built on XXLSB and included some of the mods and did not loose the Arabic in settings screen!!!
so if you integrate those mods in the rom will keep the Arabic intact?
how to add them to your rom

If there is a custom rom with mods that already have language support then you should try it. Maybe zai89 modified the originals and that's the best approach.
ya , i was talking about zai89 rom, waiting for his reply

And discussing this in eybee's thread too.
zai89 made a Custom Rom for the new languages and so you'll should concentrate on that thread, because he will try to provide mods with Arabic soon.
ya, iam following with both till to figure out how to do it and learning something new also
by the way, iam having errors when sync accounts in your rom?!!
