[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
no not really... i have one X and its just Revolution HD and another one...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MaXmeOliver:
That is more than zero.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Well, it has more ROMs than XS, that, now, is 0.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] BleeDK:
There's no doubt that the ROM dev support for One X will be vastly greater due to its popularity (the HTCs ROMs have always been in abundance), but that doesn't mean nobody will/is working on the Xperia S. I recall reading that several devs here that have come out to say they will be working on it...

Freexperia also seems like a good place to look into for active support.

But I feel you, I'm anxiously waiting for some delicious ROMs too =(

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] martyfly1990:
I've seen this in the UK for around £279. I'm wanting to get a tablet for the Adobe Touch apps to use alongside with Photoshop and Illustrator.

I have an Android phone, HTC Incredible S which I absolutely love, and I love Android. However, I also have a Mac and have had an iPod Touch 2nd gen, so I love OSX and iOS, so am also tempted by an iPad.

Anyway, how well does the Galaxy Tab 8.9 run? Do the Adobe Touch apps run smoothly on it, or would it be best for me to go for an iPad?

Thanks.

After several requests from Israeli users, I have started working on a fix for the issue related to Hebrew RTL text display that plagues all MT65x3 / MT6575 based phones.

Probably, many users may have already tried to apply madmack's patch, but unfortunately that patch is not compatible with MediaTek's framework and the result is a non working ROM.

Based on part of madmack's work, I have managed to manually patch HD7 MT6573 framework and now the Hebrew text is perfectly displayed according to two users that have already tried my custom ROM.

I will post here the instructions on how to manually apply the patch to other MT65x3 / MT6575 phones framework. Until then, and for those that don't know how to do it, you can send me the original ROM designed for your phone and I can patch it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
In order to fix Hebrew text display on MT65x3 / MT6575 based phones frameworks, you will need two files:

framework.jar (patched)

libicuuc-arabic.so (from madmack's patch, under REQUIRED-IMPORTANT folder)

Here's how to manually patch framework.jar:

Decompile framework.jar

Copy the file ArabicShaper.smali and RTLTextUtils.smali (grab the files from madmack's patch, under files\gingerbread\text\util folder) into android\text\utils folder

Edit android\graphics\canvas.smali and replace the following functions by the good ones which can be found on canvas.smali from madmack's patch (under files\gingerbread\graphics folder):

.method public drawPosText(Ljava/lang/String;[FLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V

.method public drawPosText([CII[FLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V

.method public drawText(Ljava/lang/CharSequence;IIFFLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V

.method public drawText(Ljava/lang/String;IIFFLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V

.method public drawText([CIIFFLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V

.method public drawTextOnPath(Ljava/lang/String;Landroid/graphics/Path;FFLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V

.method public drawTextOnPath([CIILandroid/graphics/Path;FFLandroid/graphics/Paint;)V

Recompile framework.jar

Now the two files need to be pushed into the phone and you're done:

adb push framework.jar /system/framework
adb push libicuuc-arabic.so /system/lib

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Taking into consideration that your ROM is odexed, I really need the full ROM in order to deodex it and only then apply the fix.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] demon9:
i have found on a site the ROM.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Okay, I will download that ROM, apply the fix and then re-upload the modified ROM. As soon as I finish I will post it here.

Bruno,

If the mtk6575 devices will have the same problem,

Do you think you could fix it?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] davidk1970:
Thanks for the second time

Hi Bruno,

And for the second time you helped me....

You are the best....

And for the second time I send you a donation, you worth every pennyyyy.

Just a little thing.

In the default calendar app it is still reverse but a download aCalendar and everything is OK with it.

All other applications are working great.

YOU are our hero p-)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
It's hard to answer, but if the problem is similar the chances are high. Let's hope that is fixed out-of-the-box on MT6575 based devices. Besides, Android 4.0 fully supports Arabic shaping, so with ICS based ROMs that should not be a problem any more.

Thank you very much!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
There you have the patched stock system.img for your device...

* link removed *

I believe you know how to flash this system.img into your device, but in case you don't, just follow my MT65x3 flashing tutorial. Make sure that you clear Dalvik-cache after flashing the new system.img.

The original factory ICS rom

Friends, I just received the link of original B79 ICS factory rom (ONE_4G+cardup.zip) which is very lite less than 140MB - This is the download link:

The page is in Chinese so please click on the green icon.

Factory insist this rom is fluent & stable...

If one of you can test it & post some feedback this would be great!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I don't see the point of discussing the different ICS ROMs available for B79. It's clear that the Hebrew RTL issue is not present on the new MediaTek ICS ROMs (only available for MT6575 devices).

Now... if the Hebrew language support (language available from the selection list) is present or not that's something different, but that's not also the purpose of this thread.

Let's please keep on topic. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] matrixtm:
Hungarian language support ?

maybe ?

thx. so match...

(sorry my bad english)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Hungarian is not a RTL language. I'm sorry but this thread is related to the fix of Hebrew RTL issue and not the addition of other languages to the ROMs.

Reversed Hebrew on "G20" clone phone

Hi Bruno,

I've been browsing through your posts - Amazing work!

I got an HTC "G20 rhyme" clone, based on MT6573. It has the option for Hebrew in the menu, but of course, its reversed...

I managed to root it, but unfortunately My ROM seems to be ODEXED.

I did not manage to find the manufacturer and get the ROM.

although the outside case is different, my phone hardware seems to be identical to the M815A you already have a ROM for. (from the technical info and unique position of ports and controls)

Is there a way to find out if this is indeed the same phone?

My phone's hardware info:

*UNKNOWN W815 - Z3*

*SYSTEM*

Model: Z3

Manufacturer: Unknown

Device: W815

Product: W815

Brand: Yusu

Firmware: 2.3.5

API Level: 10

Processor: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 7 (v6l)

System RAM: 201 MB

*DISPLAY*

Size: 320x480

Logical Density: 1.0

Font Scaling Factor: 1.0

Pixels Per Inch X: 160.0

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 user@linux-user #1 Sun Apr 1 11:25:09 CST 2012

Build Number: Z3 20120401-112653

I tried to grab the ROM from the phone itself using your guide:

Installed the MT65x3 USB VCOM drivers, created the scatter image etc., but when SP Flash Tool was supposed to connect to the phone and read from it to create the image - it just sat there waiting for the phone. the phone entered recovery, but nothing happened.

Do you have any idea how I can progress from here?

Are there any other tools I can use?

Should I try to install the M815A rom?

Thanks,

Arik.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
I don't advise you to flash M815A ROM unless you have a backup of your current ROM. Can you make a backup of your actual boot or recovery partitions? If so, I can create a custom recovery for you and then you can make a backup using Nandroid backup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arikd:
G20 hebrew fix

Thanks for the prompt response!

I will try to backup the recovery.

If I do manage to get the ROM image from the phone - can you DE-ODEX it and apply the fix? or do you need an original image from the manufacturer?

Do you have a guide for de-odexing a ROM?

Thanks,

Arik.

A7 "9100" RTL fix

[Miscellaneous Android Development] arikd:
sp flash not working on my phone!

Hi Bruno,

I'm trying to create an image of the recovery partition as you suggested, but I'm kinda stuck.

SP flash just says "searching" and that's it. I've followed your guide to the letter, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

USB mode is set by default, scatter loaded, start and length of partition updated as well as the file name.

I tried connecting the USB connector to the phone while pressing vol-up:

- the PC (win 7 64 bit) makes the usual "USB connected" sound, installs the vcom drivers, and then then makes the usb disconnected sound (!!!). although it claims the driver installed successfully, it will not connect.

I tried everything: connecting the USB while holding vol-down, while touching each and every touch button on the screen (even though I know the touch screen drivers are not loaded at this point, but the desperation....) I tried connecting and disconnecting, I tried while the phone is on and while off with and without a battery, while eating a sandwich, and while watching a CSI re-run...

nothing worked.

so, what could be the problem?

can I connect using serial to a 6573 phone?

is there something else I can try?

Please hhhhelp!!!

thanks,

Arik.

RTL Hebrew fix for "G20" MT6573 phone

Hi Bruno (or anyone else that can help)

I hope I'm not nagging too much, and you just missed my post, but I'm a bit stuck here without your help. (will be more than happy to donate if you can get me out of this mess)

shortly, to recap:

"G20" MT6573 ODEXED phone, RTL Hebrew issue (phone useless for me without a solution).

- cannot get ROM from the unknown Chinese manufacturer (any advice on how to find it?)

- cannot download from phone itself - SP Flash does not seem to connect to it (any ideas? other tools? RS232 through earphone socket?)

- Cannot download recovery partition from phone - same reason as above.

Thanks for your time!

Arik
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Alternatively, you can use MTK Droid Root & Tools (thanks to rua1) to create a backup of your actual ROM. As I'm not able to find the stock ROM for your device that is the only option. ;)

When you have the backup ready let me know so that I can help you further.

g20 heb fix - Driver issue?

Thanks,

Tried that, same issue. will not recognise device. I'm thinking it a driver problem:

when I first connect it takes about 10 seconds to identify and install the preloader vcom drivers. it then says "sucssesfuly installed" and disconnects - and the phone displays the battery icon indicating it starts charging.

from then on it takes only 2 seconds from connection to the disconnection sound and battery icon to appear.

so at first I thought the phone was disconnecting me, but it seems it waits for the drivers to do something and only then disconnects.

so its either a driver issue of the SW is not communicating with the drivers.

any ideas? is there a linux version I can try - I will install ubuntu - maybe the drivers will work beter there...

thnaks for your help, and patience...

Arik.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
You only need Google USB drivers (for that you need to install Android SDK) in order to get MTK Droid Root & Tools working.

MediaTek USB VCOM drivers are only needed for SP Flash Tool.

Finally some progress!!!

Thanks for your last remark! - I was trying to use the MTK droid tool with the phone off, like SP flash.

Then you said Google USB and all fell into place - with my phone ON Droid tool connected, I had to root it (again, for some reason, it was already rooted!) but finally I have my ROM backed up.

this is where I put it: http://www.mediafire.com/?su77nbhx4f4xxms

what I'm not sure about yet, is how do I flash it to my phone. Droid tool does not have any help file... so a short explanation would be appreciated.

I uploaded the full backup, so the recovery image is also there. you said its possible to add clockwork...

well, now I wait...

Thank you all...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arikd:
downloading ROM

Just been through that myself...

Will be happy to help - but you did not say what type of phone you have, what CPU... and if your ROM is ODEXED or not. If not - you do not need to download the whole ROM to solve the Hebrew problem.

Arik.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] samiro:
ahlan Aarik :). thank you for your answer.

first. i am talking about CPU (MTK6575)...

i dont know about the phone becouse i didn't bought it yet. there is alot of cool chineese mt6575 phones without hebrew. :(

so i just wonder if i can buy one with mt6575 an fix it . (be shure that i can fix it.)

i dont want to buye and there is no way to install hebrew.

all phones i am talking about are with android 4.

so - is there a program for pc - that i can download to my pc - all the rom from my phone ? by USB cable or somthing?

doese all android 4 are built is RTL fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Please read this post. You don't need to apply any fix to the Android 4.0 ROMs in order to read / write in Hebrew. Although, Hebrew language in the phone menus is a totally different thing and is not the subject of this thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] samiro:
hii bgcngm

i think there is a litle wrong things .

i dont want any hebrew menu - just read and write.

but i see a device - working with mtk6575 with android 4.0.3 that the hebrew was inverted...

do you want to tell me - that all mtk6575 with android 4 shuld work with hebrew - even if its chineese phone ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bgcngm:
Here it is:

* link removed *

Which device are you referring to? Are you sure that the ROM is a real Android 4.0.3 ROM?

Based on this and this, I have assumed that all MediaTek ICS ROMs don't suffer from the Hebrew RTL bug.

If the ROM that you have installed on your Star A3 is deodexed (meaning that you don't have any .dex file under /system/framework), you can simply replace /system/framework/framework.jar by the file that I have already patched.

I would have enjoyed Hebrew with my ROM on Star x15i. I managed to deodex it first and make it start after the changes to framework.jar. But upon in started the android flew up with many Errors in all kinds of processes. As I understand, or I wrote something wrong in Canvas.smali, or I have to make a wipe/factory reset to make all the system processes start correctly. What should I try now?

I have a fully working backup of my system up to the moment I replaced framework.jar. Also I wrote a patch firmware_unheb.zip so that I always can push back the original files and use the phone. Seems a good idea to prepare people :)
