Froyo can show arabic letters but they are not connected ,any APK to support Arabic letters and connect the letters together ?
thanx in advance
I second this...
Patch your system with Streakdroid 1.7
Copy framework.jar from system\framework
patch it using arabic scripter from ce4arab Add the new framework.jar on Streakdroid 1.7 zip file then do master reset and patch it again
copy libwebcore.so to lib ( you will get it from the same page)
you will get connected letters
Jattal, Have you got a link to the arabic scripter?
how do u patch?

I would just like to add that most people are getting "cp not found error"
use the following commands after rooting and installing busybox
NOTE: what you download from the market is busybox installer... you will have to run it and then install busybox
adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
busybox cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
busybox rm /system/app/*.odex
busybox rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
sync
reboot
Hope this helps.

Can this be done via root explorer thanks.
Unfortunately it cannot because your device will shutdown on changing the files and it won't be able to boot. The reason why the above commands work is that they freeze your phone in current state while the files are copied and deleted.
However as some adb commands do not run on android 2.2, you need busybox.
Sorry for the late reply, but I wasn't available for a while.

Flash the recovery image?
Root
Adb push a flash_image binary to /system/bin or xbin
adb push recovery.image to /cache or something
flash_image recovery /cache/recovery.img
I'm trying to flash the recovery without a SD card, because my phone can't mount a SD card anymore. So I'm using the recovery here http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-optimus-v-custom-recovery.html and Flash_image to flash it, but I need ADB codes to do so. I'm not very good with ADB, so I need the ones without the flash_image recovery /sdcard/ recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img /sdcard/ part. :/

It the same thing as tvall has mentioned but I will make it more easy for you.
As mentioned in the link that you have provided, just do this instead:
A) Type in 'adb remount'
B) Copy recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img to platform-tools directory where android SDK is installed.
C) Do a 'adb push recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img /system/xbin'
[Now the recovery image is inside your phones memory @/system/xbin location]
Following are the existing steps from the link: Modified step is made bold.
1) mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
2) cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
3) chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
4) mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
5) mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
6) flash_image recovery /system/xbin/recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img
7) reboot recover

This error came because there is no file called 'install-recovery.sh' inside /system/etc. This is fine since you are anyways not going to use that file.

This part I am not that clear but it might be that the recovery 'recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img' is corrupt or may be 'flash_image' is corrupt. You can also check for the amount of free memory by typing in 'df' and 'free' respectively. df would give you phone memory stats and free would give you RAM stats. Verify if anything is too low.
For the last permission denied error do a 'ls -l' at /system/xbin and check for the permissions.
I will look around to see if I can get some clues till then, lets wait for someone who can help you better.
[ADVICE: Since you are playing around with system binaries make sure you take a backup of /system/bin atleast.]

I tried again about 8 hours ago. I got through everything with no error, but when I got to recovery, it was still the old one. I'll try again once I get home.

Other option (if your phone is rooted)
Install RomManager and install CWM or alternative.
If you're not rooted you need to do that first.
After that you can flash any recovery you want and you don't need to mess with adb
You can try to flash a recovery via LGMDP. I've flashed CWM 4.0 by this way.

Can someone with a sd card, and adb, test this out? I don't want to test it out, cause without a sd card mounter, if it doesn't work, I'm screwed. If it doesn't work, I'm sure you have a nandroid on your sd card, hopefully. Please and thank you.

Have you tried reverting to a nandroid or reflashing the rom?
What app are you using to install it?
Busybox installer
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
Method 1:If busybox is already installed (check if busybox is present in /system/xbin) but not working:
Install terminal emulator from market and type these commands:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
chmod 755 /system/xbin/busybox
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot
Method 2: If busybox is not installed:
Download busybox from here:
http://code.google.com/p/yangapp/downloads/detail?name=busybox
Copy this file to your sdcard.
Install terminal emulator from market and type these commands:
su
chmod 755 /sdcard/busybox
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mkdir /system/xbin
/sdcard/busybox cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin
/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
sync
reboot
Hi guys!
I created this thread mainly because many useful things can be done in Terminal emulator. I will show you some simple commands which are useful.
Very useful if you don't have Root explorer when you need it.
Make sure you take a Nandroid backup before you try out just in case you can restore when you do something wrong!
You can get terminal Emulator from here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
Note: Most commands need root. So type su and press enter and grant superuser permissions to Terminal Emulator!
First type this command before using any of the commands below just in case(needs root)
Code:
su
Some useful commands:
Turning device off (Turns your device off very fast!! ):
Code:
poweroff
Rebooting:
Code:
reboot
Rebooting to Recovery
Code:
reboot recovery
Rebooting to download mode:
Code:
reboot download
Forcing Most Apps to install to SDcard(Root needed with Terminal Emulator, no need root with ADB):
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
Alternatively, you can type 0 at the end instead of 2 for Auto location install mode or 1 for Internal memory install mode
To check what the current install location is:
Code:
pm getInstallLocation
Mounting R/W in system(Use with caution)
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t /system
If above one doesnt work, try this.
Code:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Unmounting R/W in system.
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t /system
If above code doesn't work, try this
Code:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
Moving files from sdcard to system (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
busybox cp /sdcard/<path> /system/<path>
Example: busybox cp /sdcard/demo/framework-res.apk /system/framework/
Changing file permissions to rw-r--r-- (Use after mounting R/W):
Code:
chmod 644 <path>
Example 1: chmod 644 /system/app/mms.apk
Example 2: chmod 644 /system/app/*.apk (This command changes the file permission of all apps in the folder to rw-r--r--)
Changing the current directory:
Code:
cd <path>
Example: cd /sdcard
Listing all the files and folders under the current directory:
Code:
ls
If you want to view all the files and folders in your sdcard, type:
cd /sdcard
ls
Making a new folder:
Code:
mkdir <path>
Example: mkdir /sdcard/newfolder
Removing files (For System files, Use after mounting R/W)
Code:
rm <path>
Example: rm /system/app/demoapp.apk
Removing Folders:
Code:
rmdir <path>
Get info of your build.prop values
Code:
getprop
That's all for now. I will add a few more later!
If you have any more new commands or if I have given an improper command, feel free to post it in the thread
Thanks for reading.

That is the use of the bootanimation command. You can stop it either by pulling battery or closing terminal emulator!
But what I did to stop it was to rotate my phone to landscape and somehow close terminal emulator.
But in ADB it is easier to stop using exit command.
