UPDATE Feb 14: And because its FEB 14, here is the updated Arabic files that should work on ERE 27 and CM5 Beta 5 (and hopefully future releases as well): http://arabicandroid.googlecode.com/files/update_nexus_mt_signed_ERE27.zip
I can also confirm that it works on ERE36B as well.
Thanks Ayman.
Note: mirror is also available on my site.
UPDATE Feb 4: <IMPORTANT> Please don't update for the moment if you have moved to the new Google update!
I can confirm that the update file is no longer working, please don't install it if you have updated your phone with the recent update from Google. Your phone will freeze while booting up at the Nexus logo.
The only solution for now is the half solution which I wrote about a while back. Its only about replacing the font and getting the Arabic letters unconnected.
Please visit this link: http://dumpytips.blogspot.com/2009/09/easier-fix-for-half-solution.html
There are instructions in there on how to install the font via an update file, or through the adb commands if you wish.
UPDATE Jan 22: Newer update file in links below.
UPDATE Jan 21: Thanks to Ayman, we can now read Arabic virtualy everywhere in Android 2.0 or N1 in our case via a newly introduced library file. I tested it in Gmail, SMS and Browser, its working perfectly (in Gmail, email titles are not OK though). Ayman, you deserve a medal.
I have updated the image file with Ayman's recent updates. Please see below for the download link. Everything else remains the same.
Jan 20 original post:
Hi All,
This is a different approach to enabling Arabic on the N1 in the browser and the gmail client by utilizing a signed image file I created for this purpose.
Your phone has to be unlocked and rooted. You also have to install the custom recovery image for the N1. You don't have to download the SDK.
After that you need to flash my update.zip file and you will have all the necessary files on your phone to view Arabic correctly.
If you constantly try different cooked firmwares this file will help you quickly restore the Arabic settings. Just flash it immediately after you flash any modified firmware based on 2.0 or 2.1
The contents of the image is only two files: one font file, and the excellent libwebcore.so created by Ayman (Link: http://code.google.com/p/arabicandroid)
Without this file you will not see connected Arabic letters on your phone. So big thanks goes to Dr.Dev for his work
You can download the image file from my blog article on the same topic:
http://dumpytips.blogspot.com/2010/01/arabic-on-nexus-one-almost-complete.html
Hint1: For unlocking and rooting the N1 visit this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612858
Hint2: For installing the custom recovery image visit this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
Below are the modified commands to install the recovery image based on the file you download from the link above (in Hint1). You don't have to download the SDK at all.
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot-windows devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img
Cheers,

Thanx abunch mate !! Sounds great ! I have been waiting for someone to come up with this
I flashed it and IT WORKS very well
Nice work !
Thanks Weees.
Please download the new image it has Ayman's recent updates.
Ghassan,
Thanks for putting all these files together. and thanks for your nice words.
I'll upload your file into the project's page.
Regards,
Ayman Alsanad.
Hi Ayman,
My pleasure.
A few points:
1) I used the libwebcore.so.android2.0 and not the recent one (libwebcore.so.android2.1) because Arabic in the Gmail client was not displayed correctly (reversed actually) with the recent file (though SMS and Browser were OK)
2) I tested with libskiagl.so and without it, the results were the same. I noticed the file was there in the original android distribution and that you included it, so I have re-added the file.
3) Email titles while in the list of emails in the Gmail client, is still showing incorrect Arabic in both files: libwebcore.so.android2.0 & libwebcore.so.android2.1
Keep up the good work.
Thanks,
-Gus
Hi Ayman,
I noticed you have update the file again. I can confirm its working (the reveresed Arabic is still there in the Gmail client). Thank you for your dedication to this project.
To all,
Please check Ayman's site for the latest zip file. I will only keep a mirror on my blog. All credit to him. Links in the first post above.
Thanks,

Hello everyone and thanks for the effort you are putting behind the project.
Before I root my device, does it support Persian as well as Arabic? I mean do you only included Arabic fonts in your project?
Thanks
I can include a persian font for you in an update file. But I'm not sure about the libraries. Anyway isn't it similar to Arabic? There is no harm in rooting I guess you can afterall download apps that do require root like the excellent N1 Torch.
Try the image file and tell us what happen, then we can see how to help. Always take a nandroid backup first so you can go back if required.

Right to Left
Thank you for the update file. It is great. Right-to-left seems to be supported only in the browser, not SMS, right?

@alishankiti
In the Browser and the Gmail client Arabic is RtL. SMS is stil LtR at the moment.
This is very impressive, thanks Ayman and Ghassan.
What's next? Calendar? In the agenda mode, it's Arabic, in other modes it's "reversed".
Can we edit a file(s) to Arabize the system settings and menu strings?
Is there any reason why Google shouldn't include this in the next update, 2.2 / FroYo? It's really a shame that we have to root and void warranty just to arabize Android.
--
Just an extra tip for users on additional arabization, I've tried morelocale2 from the market, which allows setting locale such as ar/SA. This will get the time and date on the status bar in Arabic, gets the news and weather widget in Arabic, and a few other things here and there, such as filenames.

Hey There....
I just flashed the latest v4 update and its working well, except for the Email subjects in Gmail.....the letters are messed up. But its no big deal !! This is still a major milestone
Thanks to you and Ayman for cooking this up !! Great work guys !
@tamarian,
I'm sorry I'm not aware of any files to customize the menu settings. I remember on the G1, when I used to change the locale, I would see some items in Arabic just like morelocale2 (maybe more stuff). As I said earlier as well, root is good for installing hacks and apps that wouldn't be possible without it. Like Nexus One Torch, and now the recent multitouch hack on the stock browser from Cyanogen.
@Weees,
The email subjects are actually reversed. But as you said its a major milestone anyway to get Arabic in the body of the email

MyTouch 3g
Hi, i have a rooted myTouch3g running Manups Eclair 2.1. im wondering if this will work since im running Android 2.1
Update: I just went ahead and tried it, and its working, thank you soo much
Thank you guys. I really appreciate your efforts.
Just a heads up, if you installed the new N1 update (ER27) + superboot, flashing update_ar4 will not work, I had to NAND restore. Waiting for an update or instructions from our android gurus.
true, i think the webcore is not compatible with the new update thats why the phone refuses to boot up u have to restore from back up or reflash the system
I have the updated fonts for this, but is there source available for the rest? I'll merge it into CM if you'd like.
Would be great cyanogen!
Hello all,
I'm a developer (with less experience) for a company which is developing an app which will be side loaded on devices which are to be distributed. I've read about, and tested some methods with linking Android Market apps to sideloaded apps, provided they have the same signature and .apk file name, but our company does not want market exposure for this app.
My idea is as follows:
1. App checks an ftp server running in some location for a file with version info to see if the current version matches the version on the device.
2. App downloads .apk and relevant data to device
3. App then triggers some sort of "update" which will install the new .apk and replace the necessary data.
Alternatively, what is typically done in this instance when someone wants to update a non-market app? The Amazon App store is an example of a non-market app which updates itself, so I know it's been done before.
How does one go about writing a class which will update the app that it's currently running in? Are there any tutorials or code walk-throughs for this?
Any help from fellow developers is appreciated.
Look at this links:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...o-automatically-update-application-on-android
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2631255/ideas-for-android-application-update
Thank you for the links - I've been toying with code since then.
But wow, it seems there is very little information out there about this . . .
If you don't want to maintain you own update server, you may try this: auto-update-apk.com
Android client is open-source under Apache 2.0 license, so you may see how it works and make any changes, if necessary, before incorporating into your own project or using it as a starting point of your project.
Since there's now an Xposed Framework Module available to do this same thing, that is the much better way to go than modifying your framework-res.apk directly.
Check that out here http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.makuser.nexussms
-Original post follows-
I got tired of seeing several threads about this topic so I figured I would post a "How to", which should work on all ROMs and versions around.
This procedure is actually fairly simple, and if you have basic Android and computer knowledge you can do this.
What Does This Do?
On mobile-enabled tablets like the N7 3G and the N7 LTE, the device itself is capable of sending & receiving MMS and SMS messages. Maybe you've read about how Google Hangouts got the ability to do this not too long ago. However, if you excitedly downloaded and installed the new version, you may be like "What the hell is this?!?" because by default you cannot see any SMS-related options. In Jellybean and KitKat, a device has to be "a phone" before the system thinks the device is able to send SMS and MMS messages. However, its fairly easy to change this particular property on your device so that it self-identifies as a "phone" and you get access to SMS.
Important: You actually have to have SMS service to use SMS service. Even though it boggles my mind, people have actually sometimes been confused by this particular mod, and have asked me if it somehow gives you SMS service. It does not, it only gives you access to the software functionality to send and receive SMS messages.
Even More Bolded Text!: there is one exception to this. If you are using CyanogenMod 10.2 (or 11 if they have ported Voice+ to it, not sure at this time), you can use this mod in conjunction with Google Voice and the Voice Plus app. Voice+ allows you to send & receive messgaes via the Google Voice service behind the scenes, but on the front end you can use the stock MMS.apk, or the Google Hangouts app to do this. This does not involve modifying Google Hangouts, its just sort of "bridging" Google Voice and the native SMS handling so that your Google Voice texts act like regular SMS messages. Voice+ is part of the CyanogenMod project and you can read more about it here. It's honestly pretty nice if you're a Google Voice user, since the regular Google Voice app kindof sucks.
This procedure involves modifying a boolean setting in your device's framework-res.apk file. That may sound like gibberish to you, but its still not hard to get this done.
What You'll Need
This guide is written for people who use Windows. All the utilities I'll talk about in this guide are for Windows. I'm sure its possible to do this on Mac & Linux, but the main utility I use to make this easy (FrameWork Flasher) is for Windows.
-An archive manager. I recommend 7-Zip, since it is free, open source, and can handle basically every archive format known to man.
-FrameWork Flasher. I updated this application to work with KitKat, but am not the original creator. You can download the updated version from MediaFire. FrameWork Flasher was created by XDA's own Wes Foster, and you can see his original post here.
-Some kind of text editor. I use NotePad++
-An Android device with a custom recovery installed on it. "Custom Recovery" means like ClockWork Mod, or TWRP. You need this to flash your modded file back onto your device.
Got all your stuff together? OK, on with the How Tos.
How To Do This
The first thing you'll need to do is get a copy of your current ROM's framework-res.apk file. There are a variety of ways to do this. If you're running a custom flashable ROM, like CyanogenMod, the simplest way to go is to just download your ROM's flashable ZIP file onto your computer and then open it up in 7-Zip. The file should be located inside the ZIP in the system\framework folder. Just extract that to your Desktop, or wherever you're going to keep the files you're working on.
If you're running a "stock" firmware, probably the easiest way to get your current framework-res.apk is to copy it from your current tablet. Note: this method should always work regardless what ROM you are running, I just find it easier to pull the files out of the downloaded ZIPs on a computer. You'll need an Android file manager that allows you access to the entire file system, not just the "sdcard" type area. I use SolidExplorer, but Root Explorer would work just as well. Your goal is to get the file /system/framework/framework-res.apk on your Android device onto your computer. There are probably a dozen ways to accomplish this. Super noob method: just copy this file from its original location to your "Downloads" folder, then plug your device into your computer via USB and copy the file out of the Downloads folder and onto your computer using MTP. Another method would be to send it to yourself as an attachment on an email. Hell, Solid Explorer has a SMB/SAMBA client built into it, so if you know how to use that you can just push the file directly from its original location to a shared folder on your computer. If you need a step-by-step on how to accomplish this particular step, IMO you're not tech savvy enough to be doing this stuff.
Anyways, so you should now have the framework-res.apk file from your current ROM on your computer.
Download and unzip my FrameworkFlasher-MOD file. Inside the folder, you'll see several folders and files. You need to put the original framework-res.apk file in the "place-framework-res-here" folder (how inscrutible!). Then you can run RunMe.bat.
You should get a pop-up window with a simple text-based menu. You'll want to run Option 1. The program will process for a while, and then should end up at a "The APK has been decompiled successfully" message. You can press any key to continue. At this point its not a bad idea to just leave FrameWork Flasher running.
FrameWork Flasher should have unpacked all the resources from the APK into the folder "files-to-edit". You'll need to go into files-to-edit\framework-res.apk\res\values. Inside of their, you'll find a bunch of XML files. You need to open bools.xml in the text editor of your choice. You're looking for the line that says
<bool name="config_voice_capable">false</bool>
All you need to do is change false to true, so you should end up with
<bool name="config_voice_capable">true</bool>
Then, save the file and close your text editor and go back to FrameWork Flasher.
You'll now want to run through options 2, 3 and 4. After doing this, you'll have a file called "update.zip" in the "final-zip-file" folder. You'll need to put this onto your device and flash it.
If you've flashed ROMs before, I'd hope you know how to do this. As with the "get your framework file" step, there are many different possible ways to get the update.zip file onto your device. You could transfer via USB, over the network, via email, whatever.
Once you've got the file on your device, you flash it like you do any other flashable ZIP using CWM or TWRP. This ZIP should work with either recovery, and you do NOT need to clear cache or anything like that. Simply flash and then reboot your device.
NOTE FOR T-MOBILE USERS: Some T-Mobile customers, including me, get a "New Voicemail" notification on their device(s) with voice capable turned on. This is specifically a problem with the way your T-Mobile account was initially set up and/or provisioned. The device is correctly reporting the voicemail status it gets from your account. The problem is that T-Mobile sometimes puts the "Welcome to your new voice mailbox!" message into your inbox even if your voicemail is not turned on. As far as I know there's no way to fix this issue short of working with a T-Mobile tech to get them to fix it, which I haven't bothered trying to do given the weird nature of what I'm doing. In CM10.2 you can just swipe this message away. It occurs once and only once each time the device is rebooted. On the current builds of CM11, the voicemail notfication cannot be swiped away. This is a known bug in AOSP and was fixed in 4.4.2, so the fix should come to CM11 soon enough.
Forgot to mention, since this makes your device think its a "phone", if you install Dialer.apk, you can have access to the normal "Phone" app in your Apps drawer, and mess with SIP goodness
Also, for CyanogenMod users, your ROM probably did not come with some APKs that will make this more useful.
You CAN just use Google Hangouts as your SMS/MMS app, but some people may prefer to use the native CM app instead (it has those nice pop-up messages!). For that you need MMS.apk.
If you want to mess with the "Phone" functionality, you'll need Dialer.apk.
And finally, if you want to receive emergency notifications from the government (for like natural disasters and Independence Day-style alien invasions and stuff ) you'll need CellBroadcastReceiver.apk. Please note that none of these are needed for SMS functionality and all these APKs are from CyanogenMod and will not work on stock or other ROMs.
For CM10 Stable, I grabbed these APKs out of the Nexus 4 (mako) ROM, stuck them in a zip and uploaded them here.
On CM11-M1. same deal but I used the Nexus 5 (hammerhead) ROM as my source. Those are here.
These files just need to be placed into the appropriate folder(s) on your device and then you'll need to set the file ownership & permissions the same as the rest of the the stuff in there (owned by root:root, -rw-r--r-).
They all go in /system/app, except for MMS and Dialer on CM11. On KitKat they have introduce the new /system/priv-app folder. My ZIPs contain those directories to remind you where to put the stuff.
I'm not a Windows user and I'd love to modify my own (stock) framework-res.apk to re-enable SMS support. Do you know what tools FrameWork Flasher uses "behind the scenes" to decompile and recompile the apk?
I don't like the idea of tampering with framework-res.apk using apktool unless somebody can confirm that this is the right direction.

APK Tool is indeed the right direction to take.
I actually had to update the binary of APK tool that Framework Flasher uses, since the one included in the original isn't new enough to know what JellyBean and KitKat are Since FrameWork Flasher is a Windows Batch Script, I'm certain its just automatically doing stuff in the command line you could be doing by hand.
Looking at the source, I think the deompilation is done with this command:
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar apktool.jar d "../place-framework-res-here/framework-res.apk" "../files-to-edit/framework-res.apk"
"%heapn%" is a variable, which appears to default to the value of 64.
So the command
"java -Xmx64m -jar apktool.jar d "/path/toframework-res.apk" "/path/to/extract/to"
should work on Linux or Mac, provided you've got Java installed and the jar in the current working directory. Obviously change the paths to match your local stuff. Post how it works if you'd like, I'love to update the guide to include Mac / Linux instructions, and Framework Flasher is the only "Windows" part about it.

Obviously I messed up the resulting framework-res.apk because it got stuck in a Zygote startup loop. It's worth noting that I built apktool from the latest git sources, so there might be some bugs lurking in the shadows.
Oh well, I'll just wait for somebody else to do the dirty work

Well, if you send me your framework-res.apk I can mod it for you. Takes like 2 seconds
The Framework Flasher source code shows the following for the actual "do the work" steps:
To decompile the original APK-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar apktool.jar d "../place-framework-res-here/framework-res.apk" "../files-to-edit/framework-res.apk"
To compile the new APK-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar apktool.jar b %~dp0files-to-edit\framework-res.apk %~dp0place-framework-res-here\unsignedframework-res.apk
To sign the APK-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 ../place-framework-res-here/unsignedframework-res.apk ../place-framework-res-here/signedframework-res.apk
To build the unsigned ZIP-
7za a -tzip %~dp0place-framework-res-here\unsignedframework-res.apk %~dp0temp-files\* -mx%usrc% -r
And finally, to sign the ZIP-
java -Xmx%heapn%m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 ../final-zip-file/update_unsigned.zip ../final-zip-file/update.zip
note: you do not actually need to sign the ZIP. You CAN flash a zip without a signature on it, its just that with signature you get verification that the file is intact, which isn't a bad idea.
In Batch's screwy syntax, %heapn% is the variable that contains the heap size, and it looks like the default heap size the script uses is 64 unless otherwise specified by the end-user.
Also, %~dp0 is just a path expansion expression used to give the full path to the target files where its used.
I'm pretty sure you can make use of the jar and key files inside the FrameWork Flasher zip file I attached to this thread. You can find them in the resources folder. Both apktool.ar and signapk.jar are necessary, and I'm pretty sure the testkey files are needed to do the digital signatures and make this stuff work. Hope that stuff helps

About the voice mail message. Have you tried to install T-mobile Visual Voicemail to see if it could download then delete the message? I don't know how this app works, it's just the first thing I thought of when I read your post.
Thanks for creating this quide. I tried the single steps of the guide two weeks ago (I described it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47928887&postcount=167), but always got a bootloop. (De-)compiling the framework succeeded without errors and I tried it with and without changing the build.prop. By now I have no clue what went wrong. Mabye you need a special version of apktool fitting the rom you want to patch ?

I've tried this and it doesn't work. I guess the app can't properly add the visual voicemail service to that line. I've also asked T-mobile about it and they said that I don't even have a voicemail box to store messages so there is nothing they can do about it.

Same here, it appears that setting config_voice_capable to true triggers an NPE inside the Keyguard class (i.e. the system PIN entry dialog) which then in turn causes SystemUI to restart over and over.
Perhaps the answer lies somewhere in the changes between 4.4 and 4.4.2 inside the AOSP device tree for deb, but I don't have the time to do an extensive diff of everything that has changed between those two releases.
Has anybody succeded in modding the stock KOT49H build without side effects?

Well that sucks! It looks like APKtool doesn't work on anything newer than 4.4. I was able to reproduce the errors by trying to decompile / recompile the framework-res.apk from stock 4.4.2. The current release of APKtool from Slimbean I found here on XDA Devs appears to not be new enough. The main attraction of FrameWork Flasher over other solutions was the extremely easy & rapid download & use (as opposed to the end user having to like go download and install the entire Android dev kit), and Virtuous Ten Studio can definitely do this job, but again it looks to be an order of magnitude more complex for the average user to use. I'm going to be a little busy today doing actual work, but I should be able to find the time to work on this other stuff as well. Frustrating!

Did you even read my post? At no point did I say anything about "making calls", and as stated in the OP, this simply turns on the software on the tablet that allows you to send & receive SMS/MMS messages. You have to have to actually have SMS service to send / received SMS messages.
Also as carefully stated in OP, using CM10 or CM11 means you can use Voice+ to make Google Voice messages act like regular SMS.
Last but not least, the most recent builds of Bruce's CM11 ROM (the one you linked to) already have this modification applied (as he explained in the most recent few posts).

Also as carefully stated in OP, using CM10 or CM11 means you can use Voice+ to make Google Voice messages act like regular SMS.
Last but not least, the most recent builds of Bruce's CM11 ROM (the one you linked to) already have this modification applied (as he explained in the most recent few posts).

Hey thanks for coming off as a douchbag. Do I even read? No, perhaps you've edited your post several times since i did. Not to mention the fact that your title reads "Enable SMS on any ROM" then you go on to say that it will also enable the voice portion of the phone. Finally I asked a legitimate question it he texts why? because with ATT i have a share plan. While the plan says it's unlimited talk and text then the data is shared each device is different on the account and priced differently as well.
Also if I wanted to use Google Voice to send text messages i would just do that. Voice+ sends
But as you said this is enabled in the ROm i am using so I will exit this thread now.
You really need work on your people skills.
