I managed to extract the greek language files from another rom and I want to change my phone's (with new cingular rom), interface language to greek. The singular rom has only english. I copy the greek mui files to windows folder and I change some registry settings to include the greek language. I managed to have the greek T9 and, after an authedication message a mui file loaded and some of the menu entries( a few) changed to greek. Speecifically in settings menu I have the 4th entrie: Extended screen and in more... 7th 9th 9th entries in greek, but all the others in english.
This if I understand well, I think means that a greek mui file is registered and loaded, but all the others don't. Of course must do something more to fully change the interface, but I dont know what to do.
Any help or directions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT:
After a little farther research I found that some of the greek exe.mui files loaded and all these programs are full translated. But the dll.mui files I don't know how to test them. Some programs, like commanager, sim manager, camera, work, but the user interface like start menu and softkeys, and programs like WMP dont.
I think it doesnt work because some of the system files are stored in the ROM (read-only) of the device. You cannot overwrite these files or change some values on the ROM so imho thats why it doesnt work 100%.
Sollution is edit the ROM and flash it... but its not possible yet.
I know that it's no possible to flash the rom yet, but I read today in the forum that it's possible to flash only the os.nb. Maybe I will try it, but cause all these tools here are for other devices I don't know what to use. I used the nbhextract tool and core kitchen to extract the mui files, and I take them from the dumped directories. Maybe I can put them in the cingular os.nb and flash only this. But I did for first time this and I'm a little bit confused with all these different tools, roms, devices, and procedures.

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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!!
I've search on the forum but nothing work ...
I try to put my Romanian language but it wont show up when i want to select it ...
I select the RO files from T9DB folder ... still doesn't work !
What should i do because it drive me crazy !!!
I think the secret of this is in the CSC file ... but after flash csc locales (from ketut blackhawk) in CM7 rom, my phone doesn't boot up :|
I put "app" file, "lib" file, "T9DB" folder with all languages, give them right permission ... keyboard work's but with T9 my Romanian language is not show up
Can someone solve this problem ? (Samsung keyboard with all languages)
We made roms but we're not able to solve this small problem, damn !
Maybe it will work with MultiLing keyboard found in the Android Market
Working fine for me after some adjustment
Hi,
could you please tell me, how I can make "language apk" which add to the folder of app new folder: for example "values-cs".
I tried to do language.apk in ECLIPSE, but when I tried to install it as update of original app, it says "app is not installed".
Could you tell me, how I can do functional language.apk if it possible.))
Thank you and sorry for my english))
No one?
