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!!
Trying to install a Thai font into my new X10i but no luck. Got the fonts in Typefresh, managed to get them into system/fonts, /fonts, sdcard/fonts etc but it cant display them. I have Android 2.1 rooted but I don't get any message to reboot when I mount them. I also make the directories R/W and I reboot anyway according to all the threads I have read. When I check thru Root Explorer the directories are back to R/O. Got me baffled. Can anyone help please?
Greg
D Kub,
make sure you first change the permission of sdcard\fonts, you should be able to make a backup.
If you find no solution with typeflesh then just use RootExplorer to copy to system\fonts.
Again, make sure you have fix the permission.
I have tried both. After changing the permission in Rootexplorer to R/W then rebooting the permissions change back to R/O. Frustrating!
WAIT! late news.
The /system/fonts directory has R/W permissions. Still only see squares in messages, Google Translate and others. Huh?
I installed Thai fonts on my X10 using FontChanger. It worked perfectly for me.
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.
How can I removed Japanese IME on Alapha 2 ?
Where can I find the Android ICS keyboard apk and install on Alapha 2 ?
Thanks !
I'm not sure about Alpha2 running a Japanese IME, but the easiest way I can see to switch back to an English (quote Western-based) IME is to look in one of the zips for the file /system/app/LatinIME.apk, and push that into your /system/app folder on your Tablet, then reboot. If you want to remove the Japanese one, find the apk that has to do with it (should be something like /system/app/JapaneseIME.apk - not sure though, since I don't have one), and then delete it. I use Terminal Emulator and just su to get root, but you can use Root Explorer or any other File Manager program that has root access.
Hope that helps.

I Shouldn't have done this but I factory recent my phone and now when i get to the Setup, this is what happens! View attachment 2547733 Is there anyway I can get the default settings.apk and push it to my phone via adb? Also I DONT KNOW HOW TO RE ENABLE ADB! ADB SIDELOAD DOESN'T WORK FOR SOME REASON!
