I have an European Device with Arabic fonts installed , but it does not read Arabic even after updating to the last ( PDA:XWKF3 - PHONE:XXKE7 - CSC:XEUKD1 ).. still can't read Arabic .. so im wondering if i installed the new rom that i found on samfirmware I9100XXKG1 Android 2.3.4 , will it support Arabic reading or not
if your willing to help , please just open the bbc.co.uk/arabic/ or any Arabic site on the default system browser and tell us if its reading Arabic correctly ( that if you know arbaic ) or print the screen to us ..
Thanks in advance
Using Villainrom 2.0:
Looks the same in the default browser.
Thanks prodygee .. you saved me time. i was about to install the ROM ..
do you think they will ever release an update for SGS2 that would make the European devics at least just read arabic !
I'm not sure. I can't read Arabic, I can do Japanese, but I can't do better . Glad I could help you
yeah thanks you really helped .. its not reading arabic still .. may i ask what software you use for the screen capture ?
It works on my phone alright! The SGS2 has a built-in screencap utility. You need ot hold the home-button and press the unlock button quickly after that. You'll see a white border flash around the screen indicating it took a picture.
You can then view them in the gallery
awesome ! new trick that i was looking for ! ur the best
using arabic
you can install madmack rom to read write Arabic on a European SGS2. that is the case with me and it works flawlessly. It is basically taken from an SGS2 dump from the UAE I guess
only 2.3.3 can read arabic correctly for all the apps
if you need only browser on 2.3.4 you can use opera for connected letters
otherwise you need to use a released source firmware with modified libcore
madmack 1.5 works fine if you need a completely arabized phone with connected letters
Can you please answer my questions guys, thanks in advance:
1) So the 2.3.4 update will not include connected Arabic letters on browser, gmail, messaging??!!
2) Does Madmacks ROM requires the device to be ROOTED?
3) If not, Am I gonna be able to buy apps from the market?
4) Does Madmack's ROM affects the battery?
Thanks
Ayhamov:
1. As of this write up Samsung hasn't released Arabic firmware based on Android 2.3.4
2. If you want to flash the latest european firmware XXKG5 or XXKG6 yet have arabic letters connected then you would need a special kernel which allows you to update/overwrite a few files in the system folder, so definately you will *need to root* your device (I recommend using CF-Root's kernel corresponding to your flashed ROM to get the job done)
MadMack and I have released a package which you could flash using ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery. I am attaching the latest version that I have here.
3. As for buying software from the market; no it's not affected by rooting.
4. To my knowledge the battery life is not affected by arabization, however, to achieve the task a process of deodex'ing the system framework program is performed which disables some acceleration in the system/browser. we don't have a workaround which maintains the performance yet. Some efforts have been put into getting the job done with maintaining the performance but till date we don't have a success.
Good luck,
Brightidea.

Has anyone tried flashing a CSC from 2.3.3 which supports Arabic into 2.3.4? Does it work properly?

I want Gingerbread rom support Arabic for my vibrant Please ...

Does anyone know if the MIUI supports Arabic letters? CM7 works fine with Arabic, I think it's a safe assumption to say that THEN Arabic support on MIUI is a must, but would love to know if anyone has an experience with this?
Update: I found the hard way that MIUI ver. 2.2.17 does NOT fully support Arabic letters, the letters are disconnected, the only ROM I found supporting Arabic letters so far are the CM7, if anyone has a way to fix this on MIUI I will appreciate if you may share it, MIUI seems great, so would love to have it fixed.
i need arabic language what rom to get? even stock rom or custom no problem but preferably ginger bread because the size of the ICS is big im currently using a custom rom called fox hound but it has no arabic support.
Found this the development section. I am sure there are others too.
