I just want to send and receive texts in Arabic without seeing a bunch of boxes instead of characters. I also want to send and receive IM's in Arabic without seeing a bunch of boxes. I read all over but I can't find the answer to my problem.
If it's possible, is there a solution to get full Arabic support (text messaging and 3rd party applications) without rooting my phone? If it isn't I don't mind rooting just be specific towards what to do.
Please help me out, thanks in advance.
there's a prog called mirsal
u can download it form the market to read and send text messages in arabic
it only works with SMS but it is not working with facebook posts or reading news
There was an Arabic translator app I used to have that allowed you to cut and paste as well as send SMS and email from the apps ui. I can't remember the name right now I'll try to find it for you. I don't know if that's something that would be helpful.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Actually, there is a good arabization port for the Vibrant from the i9000 galaxy S running on 2.1 . It was taken from the galaxy i9000 released in the middle east and tweaked to run on the vibrant. It works great except that its a battery hog. There were several attempts to place 2.2 froyo on the vibrant with full arabic support, but they all had many problems. I would recommend that you try the 2.1 port first.
The explanations are here

I'm currently working on T9 predictive text for XDA. Does anyone have any good T9 raw data file. Failing that, a good list of words will do (I can then pre-process this into some sort of Btree).
When I say a list of words, I'm talking about thousands. It may seem a daft thing to say, but don't send me a list of words you would like to be in it.
Words ...
How about an dutch list ?
Gimmie some mail adres and i will send ya an huge list got it is some languages as : Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Italian
These are exports of dictonary's and i use them for my work.
I can make use of that. I'll still need English though, because I want to use it myself too. :roll:
Got the list also in English .... (dictonary export)
Thanks... [email protected]
I'll get working on it this weekend.
Martin, you're a star. If you need help betatesting, feel free to drop me a mail at
[email protected]
Cheers
Yeah. I'm getting a few reqests for beta testing. I'm happy for anyone to have a go.
We have to be a little careful with this, becuase I don't want to infringe any patents. Anyone with any legal experience who can give me some guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
To those of you who are interested in this project, I have started a thread in the programming section.
Guest... I haven't got any word lists yet. I will be at a stage to start using them this weekend. There is other stuff I can do though so no need to rush.
Thanks
Martin
Will try to send asap .. but was still not in the office yet ...
It's fine... no rush
Hello developers,
I'm offering $100 donation to any developer who could help me to get the Arabic language work properly in Atrix 4g without bricking it!
For more details to the problem please visit this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965588
I've tried once to replace files in the System/lib using Root Explorer and got the phone bricked!
So I'm admitting that I don't have much experience and I'm afraid to brick the phone again.
So, it’s your turn now dev's .. Please respond to this thread or PM me for more details.
Here is a link for an Arabic Android Generic Update for Froyo:

Thanks!
I hope that happens before the Atrix arrives in Canada next week.... cannot wait for Ice Cream's language support to arrive next Christmas on the dev-locked Atrix.

مشكوووووووووور
Thanks a lot Medo!
Well I've tried it and it worked nicely on everything except the browser and some minor issues.
In fact, there are some issues with text messaging. None of the other phones that I sent them Arabic text messages received it properly. Some of them like the iphone shows squares instead of letters others like N95 shows nothing at all .. yup nothing at all
Also, The keyboard is working properly in the whatsap app .. Except for the character "لا" or any word that contains this character like "علامه " it shows squares to the other side of iphone users.
I'm very sad that you sold your Atrix and hope you tell me how I could continue my way to get the full Arabic support.
I would be very happy to donate for you the $100.
I will send you a PM in seconds for more details.

Hello!
Sorry this is my first post and i hope that someone can held me.I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 with the Dragon ICS V2.0 .Its a great Rom so far but i dont have a sms signs counter.My English is not so good and i hope you know what i mean.I have no flatrate for my sms and i need a counter where i can see how many signs i have until the second sms start.The Android Version is 4.0.4.I like the Dragon Style and i hope someone can held me to get the counter.If this is not possible i use Handcent.
Do you mean you want to know how many characters you are up to for your message? The default sms app does not show this information all the time. It will give you a warning when you are down to the last 10 characters on the top right of the input box.

Yes that is what i mean and someone in a another forum told me that on Android 4.0.3 the full(0/160) counter still including.Its strange i think.On 2.3.5 i also have the full counter that looks like 0/160.
Maybe the german ics default sms app is different than others?I dont know.....
If I recall from memory it does have the counter on all the time on gingerbread, but definitely not on ICS. No the stock sms app is the same all round, perhaps another app was used?
Hi every one
I'm on galaxy s3 and hate the fact that it auto converts the SMS to mms when character exceeds 480.
And there is no option to disable this perk..
I don't want to use 3rd party apps like gosms and handcent for the simple fact that they don't support motion gestures like dialing the contact when phone is held to face.
I know there are various ROMs with this option...I am looking for a stand alone zip file that could be installed through recovery.
For the record I'm on XXALF2 ODEXED ...please help me find this app I'm sure there are a lot more people looking for this simple but necessary option..
Guess there is no much hack...although there are some cooked ROMs with this functionality..
Anyhow,mods u may close this thread

Hi Iris,
Sorry to hear about this. I know it probably doesn't help much now, but if you just want to send Long SMS messages (over 3 SMS) you can use BigSMS. It doesn't support any of the gestures and stuff, but that isn't really the point. Most people type their message in the stock app then copy it to BigSMS and send. Not a perfect fix, just a solution.
Thanks man
u wrote the app man..really doin the trick for occusional long sms

Allright, I recently got my hands on a cheap mt6572 phone and I intended to give it as a gift, but it only has english and some Asian languages available in the settings menu, and since the person I was going to give this phone to doesn't speak english or any sort of chinese-like language, I'd like to know if it is possible to add other languages to the android(4.2.2) running on this phone. Considering that those apps on the store that supposedly add languages have already been tested and don't seem to work.

Hi. No way, without recompile system firmware.
"The settings app just shows you all of the locales that are available in the platform resources. Adding strings for a new locale should automatically have those shown in settings. You tell the build system which locale resources to include when it does the build... unfortunately I can't help you on that part, but maybe someone else can."

I can't posting links in messages (less than 10 messages), but if you need details, can write PM.

Oh well. Sounds like trouble considering that the phone does not feature proper recovery (like CWM) for restoring everything in case something goes wrong =/
Anyway, if you could PM me the link I'll do some risk analysis XD
