Dear Brother,
First of all your phone should be rooted (if not search it)
it must have 2.1 rom not 1.6
and you are supposed to have root explorer.(from the market)
download the following link to your computer and extract it.
mediafire.com/?65r7o8smfrog979 (add www befor the link)
u will have now two folders one called "Fonts" and the other called "lib".
now copy both folders to your SD card.
now from your phone, use the root explorer to do the following with the same order (very important to keep exactly the same order) :
1- make sure that the root explorer has the "Mount R/O" not R/W on the upper right corner.
2- copy all the files inside "Font" folder to system\font
Now in the other folder "lib" u wull have 3 files:
(from now on, u should copy just one file at a time with the following order (again it is very important to stick to the order))
3- copy just libskiagl.so to system\lib
4- copy then libwebcore.so to system\lib
5- then copy libskia.so to system\lib
here the phone will restart alone or if not u should restart it and now u can read arabic
Note:
# i dont take responsibility if your phone is corrupted, u are doing this on your own responsibility
#this arabization is not perfect so in same apps like Gmail, the subject name will be "ma3koos!!!".
# this is the best and easiest way to arabize your phone, at least till now
# this arabization will give you arabic font even over the tile bar with no problems.
# here you will get Arial font for english and arabic which is the best for reading on such a small device.
# i recommend using "smart keyboard pro" as it can be easilty upgraded to get arabic letters, and easy to switch between the two langueges while typing.
#i am not a developer, and those files are not made by me, you can get mor infos from (ce4arab.com) or (adslgate.com). but i recommend that you stick to my way of arabization.
# this is supposed to work on X10 and X10 mini pro (but i didnt try it)
# if somebody uses the method, plz comment as i want to know the results.
i want to thank Ghaith Alshareef the moderator of android in (adslgate.com)
and for sure Galaxyer (ce4arab.com)
good luck
thanks man it really works
great to have people who help around here
i am happy it worked so fast
Does this method works with another phones
i have lg gt540 with 2.1 rom
the arabic font on my phone showed not connected
actually i am not a developer, so really i dont know of it will work or not on LG
but i think that u can search this on ce4arab
Can you please reupload the mediafire link you posted, i really want to test this on my x10mini pro and the link points to something else now.
thank you
Hello guys thank you for the big help here.
Just wondering what will this method make in arabic? Is it everything even the menu and the writing or just the viewing like messages and web sites surving?
A guy told me that there is a way to make names and messages viewable in arabic without rooting ,is that possible?
Thank you again
long process
I got arabic text by just replacing one file in font folder.
i downloaded that arabic font somwere on this forum.whoever wants the font pm me.
hey guys, i am going now to post new files on my first reply with new links. this is the best arabization i have found till now
Dear friend,
this arabization allows you to view any thing arabic on almost any application (of course including the web browser) except the titles of E mails on Gmail, the letters there will be inverted.
till now i havent tried any apps which uses arabic and has problems with this arabization (the new one 18/1/2011)
so the menu and the settings are not arabized (unfortunatly)
with out rooting you can read and type your mesages with an application called "Mirsal" which is available on the market, but still you wont be able to surf the internet through arabic websites.
Thanks very much
I want you to help through one more thing unfortunately I can't surf through the market because google has blocked it from the place where i'm at right now it would be awesome if someone can upload it somewhere please
Again thank you guys this is a great topic.
Hey it's me again please guys don't bother I found mirsal in some web site
Thanks
Thats ok, you are welcomed any time

Thanks! Works Perfect!
pro
X10 mini pro here.
I can confirm that this works.
Facebook arabic posts are visible now on browser (dolphin)
Arabic websites are legible now.
Problems:
Some non-arabic text characters show as squares.
The new non-arabic new font isn't as legible but it's my humble opinion.
Some weird sqaures appeared next to some application names in the menu.
dear loony33, even though those squers appear, i still think that this is the best arabization u can get, the other fonts would make the arabic letters very small, and you wont be able to read them on launcher pro (as an example).
i hope that in the near future, i will find better fonts, i will post them then
good luck
Thank you.
I have gotten used to the new fonts now.
I am having a problem though requiring restart once or twice per day. The recent program text disappears and so do the text for the volume. Not sure what triggers that. These all would not have text underneath. Even the media volume text disappears. Any ideas?
Thanks.
hey,
I have suffered from the disappearene of text in the previous (old) font, but not in the new one. and regarding that you need to restart every day...., i am quite sure it is not related to the font maybe a new program which you recently installed!!

Any here that can pull the framework-res.apk from their phone and post it here? I wanna chamge some color tones on my missy's phone in the weekend here where she is gone, and offcause she took the phone with her before i had a chance to pull the file myself..
Any that can help?
For the mini or the mini pro?
Here's at least the one for Mini Pro: mediafire.com/?48w5y9d7sj2pxa8
Would be really nice if you could share the result with us as well (or at least let us know if it worked).
It is actually for the X10 Mini, not the pro i need, but ill look into the file and see if they are compatible..
Basicly, the easy way to get the blue menu away is simply make a script in Photoshop that desaturate the pictures. They will get a nice gray look with a simple click.. Ill try making that and repost the file.
What ive been reading, but not tested myself yet, is that you edit the pictures to what ever you feel they should look without changing size X by Y and merge them back into the apk with winzip, winrar, b2z or whatever you are using to look into the apk with. Then you don't need to sign the file again and you can push it back to your phone..
Ill keep you posted.. Thanks again for the file..
Meep meep..
You must have root on your phone and you use this at your own risk. The file is for X10 Mini Pro. No idea if it works on non pro...
So, i pulled the blue colors from all the pictures.
Make a backup of the /system/framework/framework-res.apk from your device first..
The files are back in the apk and should be uploaded to your /system/framework folder on your phone.
Change permissions on the file to 755 and reboot your device.
Sould now all be gray instead of blue..
mediafire.com/?l1b1g8ykp1j05ij
Let me know of your experiences..
Meep meep..

Here it is, firmware is E10i 1.6 1.0.A.1.37 (X10 mini black)
Could you port the linked theme I mentioned in gray theme thread ?
I can upload rest of themed files i.e. Contacts,Calendar,Messaging etc.
P.S. not much reason backing up original file if you gonna try changing it. If file won't work you will end up with sony-ericsson white writting on the screen and you should flash with Windows SE Update Service (press home+back together, than power button when asked to connect phone). Titanium backup is the way to restore settings.
Changing file back won't be possible cause "su" crashes in this mode, so /system is not re-mountable and thus u can't copy original file back.
Still, flashing takes less than a minute, and its quite safe to try themes.

But if it works and you still want to change back it would probably be nice to have the original file.
Use Morelocale 2 from Market for additional languages in bulds that lacks your language.. I found my, serbian, lang there. Great work.

Thanks. But you do know a way to fix arabic support? Eventhough I can chose arabic, the letters are detached.
Thanks
I applied the following to AmeriCanAndroid r3.06 and it worked for me. Try it and tell us if it works for other roms.
For Arabic letters messing up at the beginning of some words check out the following links that fixed the problem for me. Just follow the instructions carefully and good luck.
Arabizer files: (You will need to recopy these files after each rom update)
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=300641
Then install any Arabic supported keyboard of your choosing. MultiLing Gingerbread Keyboard with the Arabic plugin is my favorite at the moment but this one is also good:

Thanks man. But i was not able to push those files for some reason. I had root.
Any idea of a flashable ZIP or maybe a simple APK?
Before I continue please note that I had nothing to do with the development of any of these or other files. I just found them and they worked on my device to fix the discussed problem. Therefore the best advice you can get would come directly from the developers of the files themselves.
That being said, I will describe what I did in order to get them to work for me.
1) follow the link to the ce4arab website (in my previous post) and register (free) in order for the download files to be visible and downloadable. Note: website is completely in Arabic.
2) Download and extract the 3 files in the compressed file. When you extract the files they will be in folders that refer to the exact folders to be moved to on the phone's root. For example root/system/framework/framework.jar
3) Running Android, connect your HD2 to the computer and copy these files to the phone's SD card (doesn't really matter where). Then disconnect your device.
4) Now run Root Explorer (download from the market or somewhere else) which will enable you to move these 3 files from your SD to the phone's root. Each file goes to the specific folder on the root. Note: Just to be on the safe side, I backed up my existing root files (just copied them somewhere on the SD card) before I overwrote them with these modified files.
5) Now reboot and install your preferred Arabic enabled keyboard.
Note: after any rom update you will need to repeat this procedure again.
Thanks goes out to all the great developers for this great device.
Ya I know that, but I simply wasnt able to move the file using root explorer because there was already existing files and for some reason, I was not able to overwrite the files (although I have root).
Thanks anyways.
I really don't know why you are unable to overwrite the files. The only thing I can think of is that Root Explorer doesn't have superuser permission on your device. So it is stopping you from overwriting system files. Different roms deal with this differently so first try the general superuser permission fixes (google these) and if that doesn't work, include the name of the rom you are using into your google search words. I am running AmeriCanAndroid 3.06 and Root Explorer was granted superuser permission automatically. So I am guessing that your rom handles this differently.
Note: Superuser is an app that enables you to grant special permissions to specific apps. It should be in your app tray.
I currently use a HTC HD Mini (Photon) running the SCREAM ROM by Ling Gan. It has a few bugs for most of which there is either a workaround or fix but there is the one problem which has remained unsolved: the default wallpaper on everything BUT the home and lockscreens cannot be changed. It is of a tree in a meadow under a blue sky and when rotated to landscape changes to some smiling chinese lady in the "settings" submenu. Doesn't hamper use much but it is quite annoying.
I have tried a number of solutions some of which resulted in my having to reflash and others did nothing. I post this here because I think it is a CM7 issue. The ROM developers have so far been unable to post a solution within the thread and I am aware that a fix for similar problems on CM9 ROMs exists using ADB to edit framework-res.apk. I felt it was time the problem was tackled by the wider XDA fam. Used google translate to look on the chinese site where the ROM is native to (mobile-kon) but found no help as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i think ur problem lays in the framework-res.apk it contains the look of the rom and the transition effects
you can mod apk with the apkmanager tool for ur computer in the frameworkresapk you should find the images u want to change replace them witch a black picture or something like that
if never done this befoure exept from changing some transition effects and i had a couple of errors among this
the easier way seems to search for the rom on another page cus the images ure stating are not standart in the cm7
SOLVED!

Many thanks!
I started off looking through the "res" folder in framwork-res.apk using Root Explorer to identify the images for the wallpaper. They were
Res/drawable-land-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
And
Res/drawable-mdpi/screen-background-dark-transparent.png
I then created a copy of framework-res.apk on my SD card and copied it onto my pc. I created new wallpapers to replace the ones I just mentioned, one in portrait, the other in landscape. They were 320x480 and 480x320 respectively. Using 7zip on the pc, I placed them in the corresponding folders (/drawable-mdpi for protrait and /drawable-land-mdpi for landscape).
I copied framework-res.apk back to my sdcard and then fired up terminal emulator to run the following commands
su
sys -rw
busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework
sys -rw
You might get error messages from running apps after this but ignore them and reboot. The idea is to replace the framework-res.apk in system/framework with the one you just edited.
After the reboot, you should have your newly created wallpaper showing up in settings in both landscape and portrait modes.
Please hit "thanks" for both jiffer1991 and I if this was helpful. Big ups to jiffer1991for pushing me in the right direction.
Hi,
i did something wrong.
So my Phone didn´t run.
He show me the Bootsceen and the Animation.
But the he will run again and again and again.
Can i handle my Phone via USB so i can restore the framework.resp.apk on my System? Or i have to reinstall Android again?
I have no backup and i don´t want to erase my system settings.
Thanks
Felix

hm u got stuck in a bootloop thats what i meant when i mentioned errors =)
you could make a zip with the old framework res apk or reflash the cm rom
if u dont whipe data/cash ure setting will be safed
read some tutorials how to mod the framework res apk
I have an .zip file on the sd card.
Can i copy it to the Android system somehow?
Felix
P.S. can i zip the framework and remove the ".zip" to ".apk"?
It is most likely that the zip file you have is the ROM image from which you flashed in the first place. Changing the extension to apk is NOT what you want to do. I suggest you create a backup in CWM of you present configuration and after reflashing, you can then do a partial restore of your user data. But its like Jiffer1991 said, read up on CWM, theres an exhaustive guide on xda somewhere.
Thanks,
i installed my modified cm rom without wipe caches data or something.
And now i have my old datas back, with the new Background.
Hello there,
I can't post in developer thread, but this is for de OMGB nand.
The OMGB nand is the only one which actually works on my RHOD100. With de GB*** nand when my screen goes black it stays black until i reseat the battery
Anyway, there was one thing I didn't like so much on OMGB. It only has the English language in it.
I tried to use MoreLocal2, but that just makes other apps work in my language (not the system apps).
I downloaded the full apk files from another nand and did some decompile, copy (language map) and compile actions on (most) system apps.
Added this apk's in an update zip file and loaded that from Recovery. Now my phone talks the same language as me :victory:
Maybe other dutch people would like this, so I'll attache it here.
Edit: File is 14 MB so I can't attache it here... Let me know when your interested...
One sidenote: the Launcher2.apk is updated too, so you'll need to put your icons and widgets back in place, because they will all be gone after this update. Maybe you can backup and restore, but I havn't tried that.
I didn't see any other problems with it, but always backup before you try any update! :good:
Sounds like some good work. I would like to see the work you did. I am trying to get Hebrew working on the physical keyboard with TouchPal keyboard, which supports Hebrew. There is an other keyboard app, AnySoftKeyboard, which does work fully. I am using the latest NAND from a few weeks ago.

Hi there,
I don't know if my work can help you with that...
With the keyboard I didn't do anything.
What I did was:
- Decompile all system APK's from the nand rom to a folder (folder1)
- Decompile all system APK's from anaother rom (same android version) to a folder (folder2)
- Copy all language files from the APK's from folder2 to folder1 (in the right place of course).
- Recompile all (modified) system APK's from folder1.
- Create an update package to install the modified APK's.
At this point you can set Android to use the language ypu added.
I found a procedure to do this somewhere on this forum, but I didn't save it to my favorites.
So you have to find it by yourself
Thanks! Doesn't help me directly, but makes such mods sound easy enough to give a shot at.

Hi,
I'd like to edit a dictionary - add much more words. I know where is the user dictionary (data/data/com.android.providers.userdictionary/databases/user_dict.db) and I've tried to edit it with SQLite Manager (Addon for firefox - couldn't find something better while searching google for 5 seconds) but with no effect - when I tried to export it as a .db and open again, it shows database is corrupted :crying:
Can anyone tell me step by step how to and with which program may I edit dictionary?
Thanks in advance :cyclops:
@refresh
I dont think manually editing that db would be possible so easiest thing, create a blank Dictionary, add the words you want from Rom, then copy over the .db file
from Rom
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You mean writing it by phone? It may take to much time :x
Sorry mate Im afraid my previous response was wrong ;( As it turns out, the db file is encrpyted with the rom. If you install another rom, I believe it wont work again Not sure, If someone could confirm, could be nice
