Good news...I purchased it from Jarir Book Store in KSA....price is 3600/=SR.

It is an amazing machine... :)
[Touch HD General] habibjamil:
I bought it from www.clove.co.uk for SAR 2688 including 8GB MicroSD and a Screen Protector.

I only want to be able to read arabic news sites in opera. Can I do this with this cab?

Do I have to install all of them or can I just install one?
[Touch HD General] habibjamil:
The Build of Opera that ships with this ROM does not fully support Arabic. Explorer works fine.
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
i tried them from 411 and working fine

but the arabic keyboard did not work with the version i used although it worked with other ppl who tried it
[Touch HD General] nu_D:
You only played 2688? What about VAT and shipping?
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
:D nice

but it is not avalible here in jeddah yet

you have to install the arabic support and u need other version or opera (older one) coz the 9.5 does not support arabic yet
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
u dont pay VAT

VAT only inside UK

shipping 37 GPR about 220 SR

+ 95 SR customs
[Touch HD General] nu_D:
oh sweet...

do they ship to p.o box?

and how long shipping take?

thanks man.

[Touch HD General] habibjamil:
Yes. No VAT and this includes DHL shipping. It arrived in 3 days.
[Touch HD General] habibjamil:
Customs did not charge me anything. I know other people paid for that.
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
yes they do

2-4 days

i took mine from DHL after they days

i made the order on the 19th and picked it on the 23rd from DHL
[Touch HD General] habibjamil:
They ship to any address because it is not important. You HAVE to give a Tel number (preferably a mobile number) since DHL will call you upon delivery.
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
some ppl payed 95 sr other did not pay anything

and we r not supposed to pay anything

but what shall we do :@
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
i took it from his post

and in the readme txt

;)
[Touch HD General] nu_D:
Don't know how you guys got it at 2688 considering it's 2609 without tax nor shipping........ and shipping is 225 riyals....

Anyway...

Thanks for all the info guys!!!
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
It depends on the ex-change rates ;)
[Touch HD General] nu_D:
Ah right. Well seems like it's 496 pounds now, which is 2820 riyals, this is with shipping. Looks like you lucked out with the exchange rate! :D

I gotta ask, how's the camera quality? I've heard varying reports on it, wondering the opinion of an Arab mind on the subject. :p

(I am coming from an N95 8gb)

Also, if you guys could give a little information about the response of the touchscreen, I would appreciate it highly!

Thanks so much! :D

@habibjamil

What about the warrenty of the warrenty of your phone?

Mine is having local Cellucom warrenty....

The one which is available in KSA also has 8GB mem card and screen protector...along with a very lousy case and a cleaning cloth..
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:

does the arabic keyboard work on the x1? i have the other touch HD keyboards? can i just install this by the cab? or will i lose my other english ones?
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
yes it works :)
[Touch HD General] svesam:
hi,

thanx allot for the nis Arabic fix :D , but i have a problem installing the nice big arabic keyboard. i git only the windows mobile stylus one.

i have a Swedish version of the machine and it wont install the "Touch HD Keyboard_VGA". the installer says something like failed to install because it dosen't have enough "privileges" :confused: . kan any one help me with that?
[Touch HD General] billybobjones:
for the keyboard alone? if i have the mobidiv arabic support for xperia (the one that came with it) what do i need to install exactly?

at svesam...did you close what they told you to in the readme before attempting to install?
[Touch HD General] svesam:
an i thought i did read it to the end :rolleyes: . thanx for the tip :)

another thing , i noticed that the Swedish lang. i gone from the list - i git now only Eng and Turkish (don't know why!) any how i writs in Arabic and Eng. but not the original lang. Swedish. do you know why? and can i git them all :o

another thing. i noticed that the Full QWERTY Arabic board is not complete! the SHIFT/CAPS dose not shift the functions to the 2nd level to be able to use the other symbols. is there another way to do it?
[Touch HD General] billybobjones:
my english was gone from the list..then i clicked options when i opened the keyboard menu..and then you can pick the language...

I can switch from english to arabic....
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
It is complete :)

in the english keyboard when u press shift/caps it switch from upper case to lower case.

as there is no lower case and upper case in arabic so it will not work

to use the characters in grey do a long press on the keyboard in both arabic & english
[Touch HD General] svesam:
god bless you guys. perfect work. i can writ and read arabic in this nice mobile witch i have bean missing for the past 4 years in a European mobiles.

[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Have not yet tried it but good job.
[Touch HD General] mokatia:
Works fine

It works like charm, all my interface is kept well in english, i only care about reading arabic part.

internet explorer on my HD can read arabic fine, so i can read any arabic site, i also can read Arabic emails and SMS right from TF3D interface.

never tried the arabic keyboard though.
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
Did u get urs from egypt ??

is it officialy sold there ??

for how much ?
[Touch HD General] mokatia:
No, Got mine from Dubai last month, was for 3400 AED
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
mokatia, did it come with Sprite?
[Touch HD General] ehsanij:
any Farsi keyboard?
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Can you please explain the steps to install?

Also, how come this has not been officially released by HTC middle east yet?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
The previous arabic support was the offical for touch pro and it workded perfect on the touch HD as they share the same hardware execpt the HD has more memory.

But this update is the new build by the same company (MobiDiv) But cracked by TSD and it is more stable on the HD.

When the offical arabic support is available in the HTC u will find it here Inshallah :)

Now for the steps it is easy and simple :

Install TSD arabic support cab

Restart you device

Install the task manager that is included in the attachments

kill (close) SIPGT_app.exe with the task manager

Install the HD arabic keyboard and you r done :)
[Touch HD General] mokatia:
no, it had the standard WWE ROM, but customized somehow for UAE (weather tab had Dubai as the default city)

Mobidiv Quran

Tried to any install Pocket Quran, but unsuccessful. Any advise?
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Arabic officially supported by HTC.

Go to HTC and support select middle east.
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
Till now there is no pocket quran working on the HD
[Touch HD General] HDuser:
Guys there is a arabic rom out now

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=466173

Also there is an interresting guide in his post

"To Activate Arabic Support on Your Device"

It might be of intrest to extract the package (copy of the device) and post it and the manual on your wiki page.
[Touch HD General] asifrrana:
All,

I've tried MobiDiv 416, 415, 411, various "patches", crashed my device several times, and yet I still can't install a working version of Pocket Quran on my HTC HD (UK)!

There must be some version that works! I've bought the Qur'an at least twice from Imaginet/MobiDiv for older devices (HTC TyTN II). However, now, they simply point me to HTC who are not very helpful.

Much appreciation to anyone who can point me to a working version of MobiDiv's Pocket Qur'an (I don't mind paying a third time!). The rest of the Arabisation works ok (including keyboard, dictionary).

Asif.
[Touch HD General] mokatia:
Now running the Official HTC Arabic ROM

i've just flashed my rom into: RUU_BlackStone_HTC_ARA_1.14.415.2_Radio_52.57.25.30_1.10.25.25_Ship.exe

and followed the very long procedure to have my device interface in English but able to read/write Arabic

... seems ok at the end, however, i think anyone can just run the file (extracted from the ROM) ExtendedPKG.cab.pkg without have to go through the whole HardSPL and then ROM upgrade if you only looking for arabic support without the upgraded radio version

and then follow the instruction on the PDF that was provided by another member on the forum
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Does the radio offer benefits compared to the previous one?
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
The radio is much better than the older one (1.09.*)

Low battery usage

Higher signal strength
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
M.Noury, How do you know?

I wish they provided "release notes" when they launch a new ROM or radio (I dont know the difference between ROM & Radio).
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
ROM: Read Only Memory - commonly used in the form of `ROM upgrade`. The ROM is the firmware/software, which controls everything on your phone. ROM itself usually comes in a package, with IPL/SPL, OS, Radio, and ExtRom. However, in most cases, `upgrading a ROM` usually means just the OS and the ExtRom, as these are the obvious/visible part of an ROM upgrade.

Radio: Also referred as GSM - commonly used in the form `upgrading the Radio/GSM` - in the field of ROM upgrading. The `Radio` is essentially a ROM that controls the phone function part (as oppose to PDA function part) of your phone. Upgrading this `Radio` software may have effect on your phone reception quality, battery life (optimized phone function), signal strength, etc.
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Thanks M. Noury, so how do you know the radio is better?
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
This thread is talking about the new radio

[RADIO] [WIKI] 1.10.25.25 / 52.57.25.30u

[Touch HD General] inspireme87:
Thanks a bunch M.Noury :)

quick question though.. i am going to perform a hard reset and i see two language support files now.. the first one is in the attachments and it consists of the three files you've explained.. the second one is only one file named TSD_MOBiDIV_416_AR_DEC3.Cab.. which one do i use after the hard reset since both seem to do just about the same thing :S correct me if i am wrong please

again thanks for all the trouble you've put into this :)
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
sorry i forgot to remove the old link (TSD_MOBiDIV_416_AR_DEC3.Cab)

i removed it now

u should install the attached Arabic Localization

Help to Install Arabic Value Added Applications.

I have an English ROM and i just want to install these Arabic Value Added applications without affecting other functionality.

I just want to use the Holy Quran, Prayer Times, Hijri Calendar,

I do not want the Arabic Keyboard.

Please help me to install. :confused:

Thanks in advance. :)
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
Dear shamsul

To install the Value added apps you need to install the arabic support first.

IF you installed the arabic support it will replace the HTC HD keyboard with the windows default keyboard.

If you like the windows keyboard you can leave it as it is, Or you can Re-install the HTC HD keyaboard (you will find it in the Xperia Section) or the arabic keyboard in the attachments.
[Touch HD General] shamsul:
Hi Noury,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. :)

I would like to clarify that i need to do the following.

1. Install the Arabic Localization (Arabic localization.zip)

2. Then download the application from HTC Site and Install.

I do not want the arabic keyboard, so i dont install the keyboard cab.

Thanks.
[Touch HD General] M.Noury:
IF you installed the arabic support (Arabic Localization) it will replace the HTC HD keyboard with the windows default keyboard.

If your device is not from Middle East you will not be able to download the value added apps from HTC site , download it from here

I had this problem, there is a partial solution i've reached that enable me to write a new message or write a new email, but for reading arabic within the emails or the message the letters are not connected, which is not a big problem for me at least because i rarley recieve arabic sms or emails.

anyway, my solution was to go to the Settings > System > Multilingual > DISABLE multilingual support

you will be able to read arabic websites 100% correct, and will have the arabic keyboard but the only drawback is reading arabic within english context on the system

Problems with installation

Hello,

This is something I have ben looking for long and so I was very much keen on trying it.

I followed the instructions but didn't manage to fully follow the sequence, as I was requested to perform a reset after having installed the Hijri calendar (one of the Added Value Applications By TSD). After having done this, I couldn't find any running SIPGT_app.exe application in the Task manager, so I could not close it. After this, the installation of the Arabic keyboard was unsuccessful. But the big problem is that messaging is not working properly and

I can't insert new messages

(SMS and/or E-mail), as I only get an unusable

blank screen

instead of the usual new messages screen (see attached photos) and it is just impossible to insert any text.

So for the time being I was forced to disable the Arabizer :( but would very much like to have a solution for these problems.

Can you please help me?

Thanks in advance, and keep up the god work! :)

Pedro Almeida
[Touch HD General] pbalmeida:
This part was solved and the Arabic keyboard is now installed. I just was not using the proper Task Manager :o

But the messaging problem persists, and so for now the Arabizer goes on being disabled. I see that many others have the same problem and so far no solution was reached, or at least posted here. Has anyone found a pattern for this occurrence? Any solutions?

Anyway, at least I can now read and write Arabic texts, even if on a left-to-right non cursive mode :confused:

Thanks for any contributions. You are doing a great job!

Pedro Almeida
[Touch HD General] ammar:
Same problem here!
[Touch HD General] pbalmeida:
Unfortunately HTC does not release their Arabic ROM to European devices. But I found a working (thus satisfying) solution (paid, but that is only fair) at http://www.informobility.com. Beware that they do not - or did not until recently - have their latest versions available on their site. Better co contact their support, explain which device you have (with ROM specs and all) and these brave Jordanians will fight for you, that's for sure. Clearly worth a try!

Good luck!
[Touch HD General] zesper:
hey guys, i just want to be able to read arabic sms, so i'm going to install the arabic ROM from the htc middle east site. but what if i perform a hard reset later on will i lose my arabic support. does this upgrade contain the HTC hotfix for response time. thanks
[Touch HD General] pbalmeida:
The problem with that "easy and obvious" solution is that HTC will not install the Arabic ROM in all devices - it did not install in mine for instance -. I think that there may be some kind of inconsistency between the Arabic ROM and some devices, and I also think that this is the reason why the ROM publishd here - which is, as far as I can say, the same - also does not work well in some devices.

Good luck anyway!
