Dear Mates ,

after along time with the araBic support issue , and low support from the cooker Because of their low araBic support experience , i put in your hands my Guide to use the araBic reading as possiBle as you can ..

if you are using a NAND Desire HD ROM "it's not yet araBized"​

Below you can find the steps :

1. download the needed files from MeDiaFire

"just choose your Build"

2. extract it to an empty folder on your PC

3. move this folder on anywhere on your SD card

4. flash your Desired Build on your HTC-HD2 "LEO"

5. use the root explorer to move these data to it's new locations

a. DroidSansArabic .. to the destination .. system/fonts .. and accept replacements .. restart your device ..

b. libwebcore.so .. to the destination .. system\lib .. and accept replacements .. restart your device ..

c. ibskia.so .. to the destination .. system\lib .. and accept replacements .. restart your device ..

6. if your device is not rooted or you you have a proBlem with superuser to give the root explorer the proper permissions .. so install the z4root .. and make a permanent root ..

7. now you can read araBic .. to write you can try the Smart keyBoard

note :

1. waiting for your feedBack aBout this method and if it's helpfull to continue ..

2. your default android Browser will not work .. i'm using Dolphin Browser HD

3. For those people having trouble replacing the lib files for arabic support, use temporary root instead of permanent root in Z4root

3. i'm not responsaBle aBout any damages .. "not possiBle anyway cause its just a modification"

To Do :

1. right to left issue to Be solved soon :mad:

2. another ways to araBize "there is two on the way" :D

3. more info via pictures and more tests on going :p

4. an APK file to Be more simple .. :cool:

tests Done :

Desire BuilDs : 100% works (SD & NAND) versions .. "tested by Me , qaliza , iyhammad"

Desire HD BuilDs : 100% works for SD versions .. NAND still not working "tested By Me , qaliza , iyhammad"

Nexus FRG83 Builds : 100% works for SD versions .. "tested By Me"

Evo Builds : 100% works for SD versions .. "tested By Me"

action plane :

request : need more tester if availaBle and if there is any supported info

Special thanks

Some screenshots from my device running DFT Leo Desire NAND
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MUALAMM:
My dear friend

I tried your way and i followed it literally, but the characters still appear separately

so do you have any solution for this problem.:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
Which android build are you running?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MUALAMM:
its leo hd2

and iam using the dft desire nand rom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
Download the Desire Arabic support, copy all the files as instructed and then Restart.

Try it again...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MUALAMM:
yes i have try it more than tree time
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
Did u root the Device?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MUALAMM:
you mean by z4root

yes i use it and now i have the remount option in the root explorer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maskany:
what about access root

In new NAND Android Rom desire stock we can't overwrite file system ! And zroot not working ...

Any help pls for Arabic enabled on desire stock
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
Im running exactly the same build as you, "DFT Leo Stock Desire NAND" and im having no problems at all. Try reflashing the ROM again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
Im running The DFT NAND Build and copied the arabic support files without any problems. Try reflashing.

N.B The pictures in post #2 are from my device running DFT NAND Android
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iyhammad:
I did it actually for DFT Rom "Stock Desire Rom" using the mentioned steps.

I think you have one of the following problems

1. You didn't copy the files correctly (Please Redo it)

2. you copy correctly but the system doesn't do the copy on the system (check the modified date of the files on the laptop and on the android if they are not similar i mean the difference in modified date is more than 1 day (there should be difference like 3 hours only) so you have a rooting + super user problem for sure

I've actually used super user from market and Z4root from the Forum to root the device and File Expert from Market to copy the files.

Please update me if you still have a problem

To @iBrahimovich : I've tried with the Desire HD NAND but it doesn’t work I think Ayman said that the update won't work with some HD Rom Versions. On HD SD it works perfectly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MUALAMM:
can you put it inform of app apk
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MUALAMM:
or can you upload to me the dft rom with arabic support
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NSider:
What we really need is for the Arabic libs to be cooked in before flashing, either by the cook or by us. That way we can even use a framework.jar with RTL support.

I could edit system.ext2 files using Linux for SD build, but I don't know if the same way will work for unpacking/repacking the system.img files for NAND roms (didn't try it because I don't have time, plus I currently don't have Linux).

Can anyone help with this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qaliza:
For those people having trouble replacing the lib files for arabic support on the "DFT Leo Desire NAND" flash your rom again and then use temporary root instead of permanent root in Z4root. This method is for this ROM only cause there is a problem with its root. I tried it my self and it worked.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iBrahimovich:
really thanks to make this thread more useful , i'm trying with more tests and method ..

Q : can we make it possiBle with an APK file to install after rooting the device ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iBrahimovich:
when we have a clear method to araBize the NAND ROMs , so we can contact the cookers .. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MUALAMM:
when i tried the other method the system stick on the dft screen and never bass it
[Epic 4G General] monkeyz47:
Hey xda community I have been messing with my rooted and romed epic 4g I just attempted to flash the nexus s shutdown and startup boot animations. I know samsung has their own special format so the animations shouldn't work. I am confused because the shutdown animation does work but I can't get the boot animation to work. Can somebody explain why the shutdown works when the bootup doesn't? :confused:
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
Custom boot animations only work with a modified kernel. Samsung uses a proprietary file in stock ROM's for the animation. As far as I know, no one has access to the software to modify them. So as a work-a-round dev's started mod'ing the kernels to allow a series of .png files to be played at a specified frame rate to create custom animations.

The shut-down animation format is the same on stock and cooked ROM's and doesn't rely on a modified kernel to work. It is also comprised of a series of .png files, the same as a custom animation. There is, however no way to control the frame rate that it plays at, or to tell it to loop.

So, after all of that there, the straight up answer to your question is...if you're running a ROM that has a stock kernel then the custom boot ani won't work, but the shut-down will!

Oh, and by the way, you posted this in the wrong forum. It should be in "General".
[Epic 4G General] monkeyz47:
thank you so much i was just confused and sorry about it being in the wrong forum. oops
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Ok, basically my wife is looking into a new phone and our options are more or less limitless, she just wants advantages and disadvantages of each OS. She's not picky and doesn't always need the most popular OS, she wants form, factor, and function. I am looking for a phone that will take a sim so trying to avoid Verizon and Sprint phones. Heres my opinions on the ones I can think up.

iOS-I wouldnt touch it with a ten foot pole personally but regardless of my personal feelings if it's jailbroken it's not actually a terrible OS just a bit bland. The hardware limitations and the fact that they're still building the same updates for the 2g that they are for the 4g causes some immense limitations and I cant think of an update that made a real difference.

Android- Good but often laggy even with a snapdragon. The UI customization is nice but they're killing themselves not allowing a GPU accelerated UI. I have a Dell Streak for my "fun phone" and though I love it it does seem more appealing to have a phone that "just works" for her. I dont think android will be quite as long-lived though its doing well so far. How can one expect a UI to have devoted developers when you can get anything you want free.

Windows phone 7- Perfect business device, still in what seems almost an open beta phase and lacking a lot of basic features. More promise than any other OS but for the time being it's not living up to the hype.

BadaOS-Support? What support? plays out like a bad WebOS ripoff

Blackberry-Just the most boring thing in the world. Aside from battery life I cannot seem to realize how this OS sells well outside of the old people who dont really know how to use a phone but want something high end...

WebOS- It had it's day in the spotlight and that didn't last too long... I mean its functional but feels almost dirty compared to the more modern OSes

WM6.5- Great OS for someone who wants to devote hours and hours and hours to customizing it to be the most functional OS. Sadly the only device worth having thats wm6.5 anymore is the LEO/HD2.

These are all opinions of mine, she just wants to know the opinion of others. Thanks for your input.
[General Topics] TheBiles:
What is her level of technical expertise?
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Moderate, a gaming device would be great but something with a pleasant UI is more appealing
[General Topics] joeearl13:
If you don't mind about the limited hardware choice then iOS is very good, especially for newcomers. It'll probably make your life easier (less questions to answer).

Android is a different matter. The experience depends highly on what manufacturer you go for, but if you choose well then you get one of the best (functionality-wise) smartphone OSes out there together with a wide choice of hardware.

Personally I'd suggest the Nexus S (if you can cope with 16GB storage), or failing that the Galaxy S. Both are lovely devices, but the Nexus edges it with it's lovely display, GPU accelerated transitions (Android finally somewhat smooth) and Gingerbread.

Windows Phone 7? If you're a big business and/or Office user, then it's probably the easiest OS to get working with. It has good video/gaming capabilities and a GPU accelerated UI but currently suffers from limited storage space on most devices.

Choose if you love the UI or are a OneNote addict, otherwise I'd stick to the safer bet of Android/iOS for the time-being and wait for things to play out. You probably wouldn't buy a device running iOS 1 or Android 1.5 today, so I'd wait for Windows 7 to catch-up. It is good. It will be great, just in a little while.

That said you should have no problem editing/viewing Office docs or accessing Exchange email on either Android or iOS.

BlackBerry OS - used to be the pinnacle of a smartphone OS, but a lack of innovation and poor hardware has choked the platform, and RIM have said that in the future top-end BlackBerry devices will run the QNX OS they are running on the PlayBook.

WebOS - very good, but still failed to catch up fully with iOS/Android even with the recent update. That said, I think someone has to try a WebOS first - some people love it, some hate it. Limited range of apps.

WinMo 6.5 - Do not buy anymore, unless your business requires it.

Bada OS - Just no. No developers. No apps. No fantastic devices.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
I thank you for your reply my wife still wants WP7 but I keep trying to tell her that even though I use it it could take time to work the kinks out. She is considering android but samsung devices are hard to go with especially the galaxy S devices due to the buffer overrun issues. I think we've more or less narrowed it down to those two its just hard to pick which though she is in love with the netflix integration. I think its between the mytouch 4g and the samsung focus
[General Topics] TheBiles:
The MT4G is a fantastic device. I'm sure she'd have more fun with it than WP7 and its limited options.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Now when you say limited options what do you mean? I only ask because I recently converted to windows phone 7 after tinkering with android for 2 years and never once having something that felt 'complete.' Also is there any site that I can make one of those phone histories on or do I have to use paint?
[General Topics] orb3000:
WM: The most tested OS good and stable for business, thousands of apps, tweaks, themes, etc a lot of knowledge.

Android: Nice to play with as all is new and free but I got easily bored

WP7: So new, needs more time to get mature. Too closed similar to apple
[General Topics] vbetts:
No they aren't. The 2g is stuck on Ios 3.2, while the Iphone 4 is on 4.2. Plus the hardware in the Iphone 4 is just about as fast as Snapdragon, and cortex. Hell, the A4 is a Cortex A8.

Android- I like Android a lot, but some of the manufactures don't take it as seriously as I like, and some manufactures are terrible with updates.(Samsung) And the UI isn't hardware accelerated AFAIK. But very easy to customize, I like that. Manufactures can make Android great, or bad.(Motorola, I'm talking to you with your Motoblur crap)

Ios- I like Ios too, but there are a few issues with it. AT&T is the big one, and the second issue because of that is limited data. I can't say that it's a bad thing that to make it useful to my standards, you have to jailbreak it because every Android phone I've had I've rooted for it to work great. I wish Apple would come out with an Iphone with a screen bigger than 3.7inch. And I wish Steve would not have so much hatred towards Adobe, because that means no real flash for Iphone while it's fully capable of it. Frash is okay for the Iphone, but real flash would be better.

BB Os- I'll tell you the same thing I tell people I sell these to. Blackberry is a business phone, so don't expect the fun and colorful UI you see in other OSes. It is very simple to use though, but RIM is stuck on hardware that was released almost 2 years ago. The Pre is originally clocked at 600 mhz like the Droid, the chip inside the Torch which is the newest Blackberry is only at 624 mhz, like the Storm, the Storm 2, the Bold, etc etc. Also, Blackberry does not like to update their phones to the current OS, despite most of the phones having the same specs. It is what it is.

Windows Mobile 6.5- Not bad, but not great. A nice business OS though.

Windows Phone 7- I like it a lot, but no flash support right now is a killer. I don't mind it not having things like bluetooth transfer since I really don't use it, but I would like copy and paste. Also they need to hurry up and expand to different carriers! D:

Symbian- Personally I never used it, but people say it is very versatile.

Webos- I like Webos a lot, I really do. But there simply isn't enough support behind it from developers, which means a huge lack of apps compared to Android and Ios. The big thing that kills me about it, is the fact that the Pre only has a 3inch screen, even the Pre 2 has a 3inch screen despite having specs that can be compared to the Droid 2!

Bada- Samsung, so I can't expect too much from it. I haven't tried it though, and I really don't want to.
[General Topics] avgjoegeek:
What kind of user is your wife? If she wants a phone that does games, txt, email etc... then you have to take into consideration what is the best at these?

IOS even with it's limitations is probably the most "polished" out there. Has a huge base of followers, tons of apps, and it does work out of the box. Sure it's bland in its interface and your locked in with AT&T and the iWorld of Apple. Not to mention that you can't do anything with the hardware itself.

Android: Catching up to Apple - but still not the "iPhone killer" - yet. I personally love Android - and with enough tweaking I don't experience lag on my Captivate. But.. I would highly suggest NOT getting a Galaxy S phone. Too many issues with the devices to merit getting. I would go with an HTC.

Win Mobile 7: Although this looks promising.. if I wanted a boring interface and all the junk that goes with the OS? I'd have an iPhone. And not to mention it's still in its infancy - so who knows if it will go the way of the Do Do bird?
[General Topics] vbetts:
Should also mention about Android, if she gets an Android phone but doesn't root it, then she'll have to deal with all the bloatware the carriers put on the phone.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Can someone really tell me what WP7 and iphone comparisons there really are aside from their more strict markets. I mean yeah you cant sideload apps as easy as android but what motivation do devs have to continue developing if their apps are distributed for free.

[Ideos S7 General] .mak:
Title says it all.. which does the S7 have? I find conflicting information everywhere I go.. is the display capacitive or resistive?
[Ideos S7 General] fdeutsch:
Resistive
[Ideos S7 General] ScooterG:
Yep, resistive. The newer model that should be coming out very soon in capacitive.
[Ideos S7 General] amazingrandy:
The model 105 has a capacitive display :)
[Ideos S7 General] Zlotin:
The problem is following: there are 3 or even 4 modifications of s7 out there.

The worst has no GPS, no camera, resistive display and 256mb RAM. There is one with GPS and front cam, but with resistve display. The best one is for sale only in Russia (MTS S7) with Capacitive touchscreen, GPS, 512 RAM, 998MhZ clocked CPU (all other have 786 or smth. like this) and 2 cameras.

The only way to differ, is to look on the back of the device: the one with cap. screen has no Stylus.
[Ideos S7 General] BTCosta:
I have s7-105 and is capacitive, with 2 camaras and 1Ghz cpu. You can find it in Portugal
[Ideos S7 General] .mak:
The one soldbat best buy is resistive as well, found that out today.. but its very responsive without using a stylus or finger nail.. the screen was very dull and washed out no matter what I did so I passed on it and grabbed a gTab from sears instead.
[Ideos S7 General] rictec:
2 cams capacity display

got one of this to try out and it has 2 cams and a capacity display
[Ideos S7 General] tedkitch:
I purchased the one from Best Buy and it has 2 cameras and a resistive display. I really like the unit. It is a little heavy. I don't mind the resistive screen as much as some others. I've used Pocket PC's and Windows Mobile phones for years, so I'm used to them.

I can use the tablet with gloves on.
[Ideos S7 General] oishiboy:
i have the s7-105 version... this one has the capacitive screen, no stylus, 1ghz, dual camera... i'm from the Philippines and the unit came with a plan from Globe Telecom...
[Ideos S7 General] themoses:
I got mine in Taiwan for 11,900NT , which is around 405USD.

It's a 1ghz/420ram/175mb rom, captacitive dual-touch (not mutlitouch, only up to 2 touches ;) ), it has 2 cameras, no build in SD, 2-way rotation locked (not 4-way rotation).

the

came with a leather-case, 8gb micro sd card, and a protective screensticker :)
[Ideos S7 General] EQUANCY:
S7-105 is capactive but multitouch works only in galery.

Note:

S7-105 model has 1 ghz cpu and 512 mb ram instead of 768/256

I've also changed android.hardware.touchscreen.xml file but still same.

Anyone has an idea how do fix it?
[Ideos S7 General] emissary:
Mine is the 104 version from best buy it has 1ghz processor a resistive display and 460mb Ram I got the info from quadrant benchmark pro

the same for china, it also has 3G.
[Ideos S7 General] HCPASS:
Hi,

Mine is S7-105 with Capacitive, 2 cameras and 1 Ghz CPU. I'm from France, upgrade to Froyo and Multitouch is OK with modification under Adroid.hardware.touchscreen.

I got this same model on Amazon for $259.99.

It was advertised as 512 MB RAM, but I won't complain.

Could anyone instruct me (or direct me to a thread) on how to do this?

Thank you so much.
[Ideos S7 General] pinnella:
i have one too
[Ideos S7 General] Moshe5368:

The s7-104 from Best Buy is designed to run at 764 MhZ with 512 MB RAM, 2 cameras, and resistive touch screen. As for the RAM listed in reports, some of the 512 Mb is used for the system. After loading, aproximately 180Mb is available for the user as well as any storage available on the 8gb internal sd and any external micro sd card you may have installed. Android Tablets.net has an s7 forum with all the information you would need to flash the indonesian 2.2.2 rom.
[Ideos S7 General] Moshe5368:
Check out roms from tri-zet or joenellan who have done quite a bit for the S7 community.
[Ideos S7 General] Flaco05:
Thank you!
[Ideos S7 General] Flaco05:
OK, I am a bit confused about what I bought, so please help me out. Anyhow, I recently purchased this model from amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0051DBNVQ

It is a S7-104, comes with Froyo 2.2, 3G, dual cameras, internal and external SD cards, 1 Ghz processor, and 512 RAM (paid $259.99 shipped).

A couple of questions:

-The screen is advertised as capacitive, but yet, it comes with a stylus, so I am a bit confused. The screen has a smooth feel and behaves like a capacitive screen, except with no multitouch. It is obviously not as smooth as my Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Honeycomb, but if feels about the same as my Viewsonic GTab running Froyo (which is capacitive and supports multitouch). It is also way more responsive than the HTC Tilt I used to have with a resistive screen (that only responded to fingernail and stylus). So, to make a long story short, is this just a very good resistive screen? Or is it a non-multitouch capacitive screen? If the latter, can multitouch be enabled by any means?

-Flash does not seem to be loaded in my tablet stock Froyo. Is the fix as simple as downloading Flash and installing it?

-Last but not least, do you think I should keep the stock souped-up Froyo supplied by Huawei, or should I look into flashing one of the custom ROM's available out there? What would be the main pros of doing the latter?

I posted this on a different forum but got no replies, so my apologies if you have seen this elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
[Ideos S7 General] Moshe5368:
The s7-104 has a resistive screen but is a solid tablet. Other than battery life, I love mine and have had it since last december. Yours has froyo which is the latest out there for the s7. If you choose to root it, there are several other roms out there which have various adaptations that make them apealing. The android tablets.net forum has a thriving Huawel forum but remember, froyo is the latest rom out for the s7. As for flash, you should be able to d/l from the market. Good luck and PM me if I can be of any assistance.
[Ideos S7 General] Flaco05:
Thank you again. So I take it there is no way of enabling multitouch on the s7-104.
