Hebrew Install Only 1 Cab no files to copy

Hi all,

I managed to create a single CAB for Hebrew support that contains in addition to the files already there before the changed fonts needed and the changed NLS file which enables Hebrew in regional settings.

Please try it and give me your opinion. If someone still finds Arab Numbers I can always add additional changed fonts if needed.

To remove old version of Hebrew support (not eyron or pdac) before removing program you need to stop the process incp20 with Memmaid or sktools. If you can't do that than you have to HR
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] amarguli:
Is this based on AlirezA Multilingual Support 3.0 Hybrid Edition.cab that you posted earlier?

I had problems with text boxes in last C_Shekhar's ROM (with 1.60 drivers) and this cab solved the problem for me. Thank you for the solution
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
Yes it is based on AlirezA Multilingual Support 3.0 Hybrid Edition.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Kirgas:
IT worked great for me.

Thank you very much!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwizard:
Didn't WFM. I am not sure which is it, the Hebrew support or the regional support (and I suspect it is the latter) that causes my device (Prophet, I have M2D installed if that matters) to hang after a maximum of a couple of minutes. Had to HR again, I'll wait till the next version...

BTW

Does anyone know how come there is no regional support for Hebrew in WM6.1?

why doesn't MSFT release a patch that adds that?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
It works for me on a toych cruise with manila M2D. If you had eyron or PDAC before you should HR before installing
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwizard:
Actually, I never bought any Hebrew support, I can read the Hebrew (even if it's inverted) and most of my acquaintance can read my English.

Anyhow, as I mentioned, this attempt was fresh after hard resetting the device (after the previous attempt ended with the device hanging shortly after rebooting).
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kobi_eidelman:
if you can read hebrew (even if it's inverted), it means that you have hebrew fonts inside windows, cooked with rom. probably you should flash another rom, without any hebrew on it, like i did. this way it should work
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] mordela:
hi wil the hebrew work on htc Hd with ITA_tim Rom ?

thank you
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
I know it work for HTC HD I don't know about your ROM you have to try to know
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kubeb:
installed the file HEB_fonts_all.cab.

Still the same problem - any idea which font is missing?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] eranar:
i think that the HEB_fonts_all.cab is the tahoma fonts only and not all the fonts.

which means that you still missing the

cour.ttf

and the

arial.ttf

search the thread, I'm sure you can find it.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwizard:
Interesting! all the WM6.1 ROMs I flashed had Hebrew font support, I thought it was standard in the OS distribution. It wouldn't be easy finding a ROM that does not have the fonts (unless I downgrade back to NVID WM5, which I have no desire to do).

Do you see a connection between the symptoms I described (device hanging after rebooting) to having the font already installed?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] obensha:
Installed fine but keyboard does not seem to have hebrew

I wanted to say a deep thank you, I have the HTC fuze and Eyron and others go too deep for me as I just want to read/write SMS in Hebrew.

The package installed cleanly and all is fine with getting/reading SMS and regional settings but the new keyboard that showed up is not showing hebrew. is a Hebrew keyboard supposed to exist in this install? am I missing something obvious?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
A keyboard does not exist you have to install either SPB keyboard or Resco keyboard
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] motisu:
I am using PCMKeyboardEN-v1.14 with hebrew support and it is working just fine. and it is free.....
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kobi_eidelman:
it's a mater of device. i have htc wing(herald). most of wm6.1 roms that i've installed, does't support hebrew fonts.

in my case, after installinf the hebrew cabs from above, my phone get "no service" notice, and i had to HR.

good luck
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kubeb:
installed cour.ttf and arial,ttf from the windows XP fonts folder to the fonts folder in my device.

still no success same gibrish.

Is the font file of WM is diffrent from the XP one?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] kubeb:
intalled your file (after uninstalling previous file) all seems the same as previous file.

Arab numbers apear only on old synced files.

new sync files are OK.

fixed appointment note gibrish and ?????? problem

One new problem:

when entering new appointment via the HTC no letters are shown on appointment name only after pressing OK (same in new contact, same in contact lookup). it does enter the words but you can't see them until you approve.

In addition when soft reset get message "BIDI already installed" i click OK and it loads the TF3D interface.

BTW I'm using HTC HD if it helps.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] eranar:
I think you should start all over again but this time try this solution for the hebrew problem.

if you need hebrew keyboard, I can suggest Vito ZoomBoard which has hebrew support (i don't think it's free).

Hello.

after installing the single cab file on a fresh new rom,

im having the same problem that the text doesnt appear on some text boxs when writing (same for hebrew or english), such as search for contact etc.. im using a701 wm6.1 WWE rom.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] eranar:
all this text not showing in some fields is related to the "alireza" pack which prattjo used as base

for his one file hebrew install. it has nothing to do with the fonts, the problem is in the BiDi engine.

in all the roms i checked (almost all the polaris roms) with the single file install this problem exist.

this is why I stayed with the solution of two files install and copying the fonts to windows folder.

so far it works with all the roms i checked. I didn't check it on different devices as i have only one.

if anyone is willing to compare the two installation and report back the results so we would know

which BiDi engine works best "alireza" or "mobidiv".
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
I am using the "alireza" cab changed by me to include the fonts and the right NLS file for regional settings on a Polaris with Khanx Navia 1.4 and I don't have the problem.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] eranar:
well you are the only one that have no problem with this pack, it seems everyone else is having.

maybe it's related to the rom you are using or the build of the OS, i don't know. btw did you try it

on Khanx Navia 1.5, i did and it didn't work for me. all i want to know is what BiDi engine is better

this is why we need to collect as much info as possible. if the good people here will try the two ways

and report, we will know which way to go from here, what do you think?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
I apologize for not being around.. i have too many other matters to deal with.

I have edited some of the dlls... and changed some stuff..

I will be posting them as soon as i can..
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] ausi:
Hi

First of all thankyou (& all the others who have made this effort) for this cab, it's working on my DoPod D810=Trinity........i even did not start with a clean ROM.

Although 98% seems to be working i have 2 small issues:

1. In an Outlook message in the "Notes" (not the Subject) instead of Hebrew i get Jibberish.

2. "Before" installing this cab Opera 9.5 was showing Hebrew correctly while IE was showing Hebrew backwards.........now after installing the cab i have the opposite = IE working correctly & Opera backwards.

Would appreciate any resolution to the above issues.......without having to do a HR.

Again MANY THANKS.......you Guys have made a FANTASTIC breakthrough!!
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
I must be missing something. but the changed fonts contain Arab chars.

strange.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
Alright, I've put up a zip with edited dlls, some changes in some of the other files as well.

considering my comp died not long ago i don't have everything i need to create the cab.

pratjjo, please take the zip file and create an installation package out of it...

or.. anyone else who's willing to do that.

I AM aware of the fact that it's a big file, but it contains the required nls to have all regional settings and all required files for full hebrew support (no keyboard).

I'm posting the zip file here. if this version works ok.. we'll make a version out of it.

Report on different solutions

I can report on my experience with this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=455046

1. Tried version 0.2.1 by Nir http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=132175&d=1227478867 - not OK, input fields are truncated

2. Tried heb_pack.rar by eranar from this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2985080&postcount=224 - same problem

3. Finally tried the "AlirezA Multilingual Support 3.0 Hybrid Edition.cab" posted by prattjo and this worked for me

All solutions were installed after HR
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
do try the 0.2.2b... and tell me what you think.

I put all the files from the zip in my windows dir (besides the Areg files) and it works GREAT.

it is big... some 5mb if i'm not mistaken.. but I don't have sms problems, no arabic.. no text fields are affected...
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] bendi:
I tryed it on my Cruise

I have the official ROM 6.0. tried the 6.1 (official) but the hebrew did not work.

After downloading the hebrew from this site (0.2) it looks very good but no keyboard :mad:After installing the Resco keyboard everything looks fine.

Soon I will try it with the official 6.1:D
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
As we already said. a hebrew keyboard is NOT included in this package and will not be included in the final release.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
Hi Nir, I don't know how to make the Cab from your files, what I know is how to change or add files to an existing Cab, so that will have to wait for you. Regarding the keyboard it might be later possible to add the pocketpcm keyboard to the project, but I think we have to talk about it later when we resolve all the other problems. Regarding the fonts, it seems to me that after an instalation of a Hebrew Cab, no matter what version, since people install afterwards other applications it is possible some of the project's changed fonts are overwritten. This will happen if our solution is based on changing the arabic numbers in the font. If we manage to stay with the fonts without changing them, but change the dll which searches the numbers in the font to look for the Hebrew region of the font and not the Arabic than it might be better.

I think we still need your help to create the Cab and w'll wait till you have the time and the Computer.

Thanks

The problem for me is not the program for cabs, I have it, I need Nir's instructions of where to put each file in his latest package especially the folowing files:

*.DRM

*.provxml

*.UIN

*.ORG

With the rest including the registry changes I have no problem since it is the same as the old cab.

NIR Help !!!!!!!!!!!

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
I am sorry for answering at such a delay each time, but i have an obligation to the Questions & Answers section now that I'm in the Q&A team and i can't seem to find much time between work, uni.. and other stuff.. to work on this as much as I'd like.

I finished editing the DLLs as far as i could go with them. there are DLLs which i can't edit due to copyright violations.

What i would like to know now is: (and please don't be shy and feedback here)

1. which version until now works/ed best for you guys?

2. does this version contain the 2.5mb nls file or the 250kb one?

3. I would like to edit the first post to update the issues which need to be solved but as i lack time i'm not planning on going through all posts in this thread. please write in one message, the answers to all of these questions, including all bugs that you're experiencing, and which version you're using (InfX's, prattjo's, 0.2.2b... the old one..)

just write a complete feedback and don't hold yourself back.

After we know exactly which problems we're facing, and after we take the best version, replace the DLL's in it with the dlls i edited and choose which nls file to use, I think we'll be at least 3/4 way towards releasing a first final version.

one more thing. people keep sending me PMs about a hebrew keyboard. I will say this again.

we are NOT going to include a keyboard in this release at least until we release a working version of hebrew without one.

after we fix the bugs we can think about adding a keyboard.

in the meanwhile, you can use Resco Keyboard,SPB Keyboard... etc to have the option to write in hebrew.

have a great week.

Opera and hebrew

Hi,

I have a ROM that has Opera and IE does not work well in it.

BUT.. it seems that Opera (at least the one in my device) does not support hebrew well -- when browsing hebrew sites, it shows the herew mirrored...

Can someone help?? Opera seems to be much more friendly (at least in a mobile) and i really want to be able to use is on hebrew sites as well (not that i have any ohter choice on my current ROM)

B.T.W

I tried checking the Opera settings, but i could not find anything that can help with this issue.

Hi Nir I am using prattjo's my latest Cab. The nls file is 256 KB.

The problems I still have:

When adding a note to a calander entry, The outcome is a note written from left to right. After writing the note it displays as a series of ?????????.

In notes, when writing it is displayed from left to right. After when displaying it is written correctly but is left aligned.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
I managed to do a little reading today, somehow.

It seems that we all have different little issues with different roms and different hebpacks..

I suggest we disassemble this project.

We make a list of roms, a list of browsers, and a list of bugs. we take each of the hebpacks posted here.. by eran, prattjo.. infx.. myself.. and so forth, and we match each version to the most fitting rom and most fitting browser.

for instance, i'm using KhanX's Touch Navia 1.5, Skyfire Browser... and FEWidgets/UltimateLaunch as a today screen.

I have everything running smoothly using the original solution and the changed fonts.

skyfire shows hebrew just fine. Opera shows it backwards.. which is the ONLY problem i have with hebrew on my device. considering i don't use opera.. i don't mind about it.

what do you say?

Hebrew for omnia ?

Hello

if anyone knows a solution

thank you
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwizard:
With all due respect (and you certainly earned a lot of respect!), I am not sure that would be the best way to go - the variance of devices, ROMs and applications is overwhelming, we would need an army of developers to overcome such a task.

Instead, how about continuing on to merge the different hebpacks, striving to reach a universal hebpack that is generic enough to (mostly) work for us all? after all, this is feasible (the commercial hebpacks work on

most

devices unchanged).
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwizard:
SNAFU

Sorry to say, for me this (version 0.2.2b 20/12/08) is unusable. After installing the cab, my device (Prophet running LF Xtreme BLUE V2) will not go past the OS startup screen (the third screen in the boot process).

Had to HR, and restore from backup (thank god for Spb ;)).
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] motisu:
At first, I also had that problem on my Universal (JasJar). but I did another SR and then it came up and works. I haven't yet tested it with all applications but at least it is OK with email.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] dwizard:
Interesting... alas, for me it is a permanent state, remains the same after SR.

If it happens on multiple device brands (yours, mine) maybe the developers can deduce what the root cause for it, and fix it? :p

About my problem, one of the guys here pointed out that no prior Hebrew support is a pre-requisite, I have yet to find such a WM6.1 ROM for my device (prophet), when I will, I will surely re-test.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
Can you please tell us what you did. Since there is no cab for the 022b version. Did you after HR copy the files? which ones and where did you copy to. If you didn't do an HR did you have any Hebrew installed before and than you copied, again what did you copy and where to?

Thanks

My At&t Tilt results

Hi,

I'm using At&t tilt, latest Rom by PDACorner (V14). I downloaded the latest zip file, copied all files from the zip to the windows folder (accept the one you said no to), overiding the previous cuor and tahoma files that already were in the windows dir.

After SR, I got hebrew but reversed (I only tried messages).:(

Then I installed the Hebrew.cab file, SR, but still same thing.:(

After Un-Installing this cab, I went to eranar solution with the hebrew_pack.rar. Did all the installtion he required, and now all seems very nice indeed.:) make sure to overwrite the tff files and the wince files using Resco Explorer (I used the one that pocketpcfreak forum has, by reuvenet).

I am now having Hebrew font, Hebrew regional setting (with calendar showing correctly).

Installed Opera9.5 build 2745 WWE - first time that I can see hebrew fonts not reversed - ynet is great (few is revered thou..)

Gmail - emails are showing great!!

Installed SPB Keyboard 4 - looks good so far.

Still no message sent, or email, or notes. Will report later.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] motisu:
I simply followed directions.:):)

Seriously, I did not have any previous version of hebrew installed, I copied all the files except for ar*.*, *.rgu, *.dsm, option.xml, and initflashfile.txt into my \windows directory, did a SR, went into regional settings and set it to hebrew, did another SR and thats it. the hebrew support works.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
Moti, which browser are you using?

and which rom?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] motisu:
ROM is a BA based WM6.1 20758 based cooked by Sun Dream. I tried the hebrew support in two different browsers. In Opera 9.5 15202 (by Dexter) the hebrew is visable but reversed. In IE 10.3, the hebrew is good and not reversed. More important (to me) is that all my email texts are legible and not replaced with ???????????.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] megatron08:
Update so far

OK,

Today I tried the notes in Appointments and Tasks, and the thing is that all is aligned to the left and there for it shows the letters reversed.

But, If I write a sentence, then press Enter, the line shows fine, although still aligned to the left.

As reported before, Opera working fine, Emails as well, althoug old mails show gibrish. SMS is fine.

That is for now.

Any thing else to check? I already installed Igo 2006 and all is fine.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] nir36:
This is too complicated..i can't seem to gather up clean but detailed info about what we should do.

That is, the fonts are fine, some browsers are working and some aren't... and emails/sms/notes/appointments change their behavior depending on each rom and package individually.

what to do what to do?

any suggestions?
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
I agree with you there might not be a single solution maybe later we will find one. In the meantime please create a cab for the zip file you created, open a new thread we can place there the three possible cabs, your new cab, mine prattjo's and hebrew cab with the additional files needed. Maybe we can add a poll with device, rom and cab used. Over the time we might get more insight.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] motisu:
I agree with pratto. It may just not be possible to get one universal solution. As we all know, all the different ROM's have different tweaks which may affect the BIDI and font support. If all 3 versions are available, everyone can try all 3 and find the one which works best on their particular configuration.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] prattjo:
I did exactly as you did on a HTC Touch Cruise with ROM Khanx Navia 1.4 after a HR but it doesn't work for me all Hebrew is written from left to right. I installed again the Cab I made and it works for me except notes in contact and simple notes. Since in Nir's solution I don't see a BIDI installation, at least we don't copy those files and we make no registry changes, that might be the problem, that is why I keep asking Nir to make a Cab maybe if he does he will add the BIDI and registry changes.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] motisu:
OK, I apologise, I just remembered that I did one other thing. I renamed the rgu file to reg and added it to the registry using task manager. I do see incsp20 running as a process so that must have been the way it got added to the startup sequence. Again, my apologises, old age is creeping up on me :o:(
