I'm planning on re-continuing this project soon, while at the moment my plans are:

Pro Tools: Run any of the program's processes seperately and manually.

Newer better methods of fixing Right-To-Left

Possible Arabic solution

I'm still experimenting with a lot of these, and since I have no-one helping me and I have no experience with compiling source code, I will probably fail at most of these, but at least the first part it easy enough to achieve.

If anyone has any requests for features, or enough experience with smali files, I'ld appreciate it! :-)

Also, I know I promised source code availability, but it seems as if there's not enough demand for that and I'm ashamed to release my code in it's current state (which is extremely unpolished and ugly).

Thanks in the meantime,

Welcome back,

Looking forward to the updates. BTW, have you seen this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=985504

People are reporting great success in adding Arabic reshaping using the above patcher
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ambious:
Thanks for the heads up.

I'll take a look and see what I can derive from it (also I'll need their permission to use it, of course).

The sad part is that there's a fix out there that works far better than anything else, but it's developers refuse to release source code. I'm still trying to figure out if it's legal to reverse-engineer it, or even acceptable, so in the meantime I'll only be working on the pro-tools mentioned in my previous post.

Hi Ambious,

Just installed rev0.0.6 on HTC HD2 with Nexus GB 2.3.3 Rom, from first look all issues with opposite subjects in gmail and also opposite word completion in keyboard are fixed.

I noticed that it added smilies addition, and also remove new line in SMS - is it so?

Thanks Rami
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ambious:
May be so, the files are based on Froyo layouts and so they sometimes mess up when handling non-froyo layouts.

The next version will have more up-to-date files, so they may fix it, but I wouldn't know for sure.

DATA++ ROMS

hey, will this work on DATA++ roms? such as INSERTCOIN DATA++

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ambious:
I'm not sure what those are, but in general it all depends on how the roms use the framework directory.

I've seen some strange new methods recently. Because builds are so different from one another in that aspect and there are so many different methods (fragmentation is a *****!), the only way to be sure it trial and error, which would probably be easier once I complete work on the 'pro-tools' (I'm afraid I'm not working much these days, too much work/university stuff, not enough time).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] b_ophir:
ok thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zahurtex:
didn't work for me ?? my rom in sig. letters are still separated :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ambious:
Arabic letter fixing isn't embedded in the patch yet. I'm still planning this for a future build.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zahurtex:
Since I have already applied the patch which didn't worked so can I re-apply patch in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924491&highlight=arabic

or just copy the two fonts over to the system folder?

edit*

I tried to copy just the fonts via astro and it isn't copying over ... is there any solution... Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ambious:
I'm afraid I don't quite know.

From what I was able to gather so far, Arabic fixes need several things: fonts, lib files, and framework.jar.

The only part that MAY conflict with my patch is framework.jar, but as far as I know the Arabic patches make the same changes as I do, so it shouldn't matter.

Try one of the fixes in the Ardroid website, though. As far as I know, they should work.

I thought I'd share this, I accidently swiped up on the keyboard ( stock froyo) and it reveals the number row and a punctuation row. Works in portrait and landscape.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
They removed it in Gingerbread though.
[Nexus One General] raggaboi:
Sorry, and I don't mean to be a killjoy or w/e the word is for forums.

I wonder whether this tablet just made my Tab obsolete. Any clues?
[Xoom General] GeorgijSapkin:
Xoom is a completely different device. I do not see how it can obsolete SGT. They can coexist quite peacefully :)
[Xoom General] yaachi:
I also own a Tab. I think it is just a smart phone with big screen. Samsung Apps are not helping much with that. Let's see what Honeycomb can do on 7" screen. When tab will still have android < 3.0 for months after XOOM coming out, XOOM will definitely be better tablet than Tab at least for a while.
[Xoom General] laxwillsch:
I agree with above. I am very happy with my tab but after watching the xoom keynote I am already trying to figure out how to sell my tab and grab the xoom on release day lol. Honeycomb looks smoking!! Does anyone have any clue whether we will get honeycomb at all and whether it will have a similar ui as the xoom? Or will samsung ruin it with touchwiz?
[Xoom General] magicdroid:
don't get rid of the Tab just yet... if you wait for the Honeycomb update, you'll have the Xoom's little helper :D

after all, the Tab is still more portable.
[Xoom General] gbmitchell:
Just hope that Samsung gets Honeycomb out for the tab better than they did the US Galaxy S devices...
[Xoom General] laxwillsch:
I hear ya I don't think I could ever go with a ten inch. Now if the xoom had a 7 inch I would probably trade up. The only thing I hate about the tab is samsung and having to rely on them for updates. I have been waiting for an official update for my captivate forever. If it wasn't for this community I wouldn't even have froyo. What a joke.
[Xoom General] ksizzle9:
I had the galaxy tab for about a month. It was just like a galaxy phone(I had that POS as well) this will blow it out of the water
[Xoom General] A_Flying_Fox:
The sgstab was severely outdated by the xoom lol

Itsbasically a 7inch phone

It does everything my epic 4g does, cept bigger

I really hate that I like a couple of motorola products :/ but they're gonna be the htc this gen.

Actually, didn't they also launch 2.0 with the droid lol

So maybe 4.0 will be motorola too
[Xoom General] ksizzle9:
Don't get me wrong. I liked the tab, it just felt EXACTLY the same as my fascinate does. And my fascinate sucks. I won't buy a Samsung no matter what ever ever ever ever ever I won't say it again but u get the point.
[Xoom General] laxwillsch:
I hear ya but I have a captivate and love most everything about it except the gps and the fact that I have to rely on samsung for updates. If I never found xda and custom roms I probably would have sold it. But as fast as my tab goes I absolutely love it. It is everything I like about my captivate plus more. I got the car dock and I gotta say the portability is my favorite part I think the xoom is gonna be to hard for using it anywhere except college work and home. I have friends with the ipad that used it away from home for the first week and now it collects dust on the coffee table. Plus I think when three tab gets honeycomb they will be equals.
[Xoom General] PuerkitoBio:
Same here. I had a Galaxy S i9000M (Canadian Bell version), they're frying all over the place, it's a joke, the motherboards have to be replaced (go check the forum here on XDA, some people are on their 3rd-4th bricked phone!). And my warranty was voided because the USB port had "liquid damage" (which it never had, they just check the USB pins, if it's blue-ish instead of golden, that's it. It was simply due to moisture, thanks to the cheap plastic "protector"). Worst experience ever, NEVER gonna buy Samsung again.

Xoom vs G-Tab

My friend has the galaxy tab. It is small, for a tab. It is huge, for a phone. I got an iPad, which will quickly be sold to fund the purchase of my Xoom when it hits, and the 9.6" screen does not make it a hassle to carry around. As far as comparison, there really is none. They will run different versions of android, the Xoom will have a dual-core CPU with integrated graphics from nvidia. 'nuff said. Motorola just got my business back. The last phone i bought from them was the first-gen Razor. Samsung will need to do more than put a super AMOLED screen in the GTab II.
[Xoom General] checkbox111:
When the Xoom is finally released, Motorola are already quoting 'March' delay :rolleyes: the Xoom will be 40% more expensive than the Tab, not a lot of competition between the two.

Buying any of these new android tablets on the day of release sounds like a bit of a mugs game, wait a month and they're $150 cheaper, three months and they're half price :eek:
[Xoom General] laxwillsch:
I second that but this community is pretty good at releasing the new android version when Samsung fails to do so. I have had froyo on my captivate since it was leaked and from what I heard cm7 gingerbread is on its way. So hopefully even if Samsung drags their feet as usual we should see some unofficial build.
[Xoom General] tgotch:
Motorola announced yesterday that they may look into releasing a 7"-8" tablet in the near future. (for those of you who like the smaller form factor)
[Xoom General] checkbox111:
It a samsung policy to charge carriers for what it considers to be standard update, (not a critical one, where there are bugs etc) carriers don't want to take up the option (it can cost $$$$$$$$, who can blame them) so it's the end user who misses out :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] gbmitchell:
No one has confirmed this and Samsung has denied it. At this point until someone has better information that supports the story you are referencing, you are spreading malicious rumors and this is coming from a current unhappy Samsung customer who can't wait to get back with HTC.
[Xoom General] ksizzle9:
Motorola has confirmed a end of February release for the xoom. Likely it will have some type of subsidized priceing because all the hype around this being the first tablet with 3.0 and the most powerful to date. They wouldn't want to ruin that hype with and over pricing of the tablet. That's just my 2cents

I have a 1ghz phone too!! And this was sent using XDA App
[Xoom General] checkbox111:
Yeah and it also said it may delay until march if there are problems :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] khov07:
I agree with a few previous comments that the SGT is basically a big phone. It works, but the 2.2 OS doesn't really fit with the concept of a tablet. Don't get me wrong, I like it, but 3.0 is designed specifically for tablets, not big-screen phones.

3.0 will make the real difference.
[Xoom General] ksizzle9:
I was so unfortunate as to own the galaxy tab, and it sucked, it wasn't bad or laggy, it was just a huge phone, nice hardware, just a little to rushed to production
[Xoom General] Drewmungus:
I think the biggest thing thats being missed here is the hardware. The Xoom is a beast! The dual core processor alone is a big difference, but then you in the ram and HDMI out etc.

When the tab does get Honeycomb it still won't be the same. In my house theres a G1, Sprint Hero and a EVO all of which are running cm6(Evo's on CM7 now!) and they all run completely different. It'll be the same with the SGT and the Xoom, same os but one will be able to run more stuff/faster.

Just wait 6 or 7 months and the Xoom will be in the same boat. I still NEED one though I've been waiting forever to buy a tablet!

Tablet face-off: PlayBook vs Streak 7 vs iPad vs Xoom

http://holykaw.alltop.com/tablet-face-off-playbook-vs-streak-7-vs-ipad
[Xoom General] khov07:
Not much of a face-off, in my view. Those are four very different devices:

Playbook - for BB junkies, will require (?) a BB for syncing, so not truly a stand-alone device. Don't get me wrong, it looks awesome, but having to pair it with another BB device for full functionality for me is a fail. Our org just moved away from BB due to higher licensing costs.

Streak 7 - snooze. Read engadget's review.

iPad - great media consumption device, and awesome battery life. Tons of apps, but suited for the consumer market.

Xoom - winner in my book. Honeycomb, VZ network, Tegra 2, thin, light, etc. Android OS + true tablet UI = WIN. Great for business and consumer markets alike.

The power and flexibility is what puts the Xoom ahead of the rest. Can't wait to get one in my hands in a few weeks.

The iPad 2 will surely have new whiz-bang features, but the flexibility of Android renders those 'magical' new features irrelevant to me.
[Xoom General] eozen81:
Do not yell at me please If this is a silly question but will we able to navigate this device vertically. All the tables I see with Android 3.0 Honeycomb is presented with horizontal navigation?
[Xoom General] kufor:
Yes, you will be to tilt it any way you want.

Even in some videos they do it, to show how the controls are being moved with the screen. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Tak3r07:
hey there,

i'm using Resco Keyboard Pro 6 since a few months and it's definitely the best Keyboard i've ever had.

The standard "Default" and "Grey" skins look in my opinion a bit poor:

Therefore I've started to search for some skins but there were no skins out there on the world wide web for Resco Keyboard Pro 6.

So i would be happy if someone could post / direct me to some skins when he knows some.

greetings

Have you tried checking the settings?

Setting > Sound

You can either go to notification sound and set the sound to silent it go to volume and lower the notification sound to 0.

If they lock the bootloader down like they did the Droid X Motorola can keep it.
[Xoom General] Abusimbal:
I hope to see custom rom, but affraid that there wil be a lock
[Xoom General] E30kid:
I'm hoping that the Tegra 2 doesn't have the eFuse lock either.
[Xoom General] Prof-KOS:
I'm hoping that because Google is involved from the outset, like the Nexus phones, that this will be considered a dev device as well as a kick ass consumer product. But as a former Milestone owner, I'm going to be very wary of it nonetheless.

Moto just doesn't understand open.
[Xoom General] ksizzle9:
It's sad what they did with the bootloader on the new line of Droid and the milestone. As my Droid one was so easy to hack it wasn't funny. But there really isn't to much I can do with my x. Although out of the box with a little adw ex my x is sweet. Although not quite like the ole incredible with miui
[Xoom General] adub007:
i actually got to play with the prototype 2day but i didnt stop to think about the bootloader but its still f-ing awesome
[Xoom General] Homan13PSU:
Where'd you get to play with it? Care to elaborate a little more than its "f-ing awesome"?
[Xoom General] dadajack:
Um... You're supposed to prove these wild statements somehow, right? I played with HTC's new tablet last week, but forgot to take a picture of it too. Or was it that they confiscated my Dinc and unrooted it after they saw I tethered it for upload the video i took of myself on it's 400 million megapixel ffc? Get the point? I like you, just not that much. :)

And what the hell does playing with the device have to do with the boot loader? I'm pretty sure you will need a USB cable and at least an incredible to root it, aren't you?
[Xoom General] adub007:
I def understand where your coming from but i got to test the devices cause the motorola rep for my district came to my job with it.

And i had the physical devices in my hands so in theory i would've been able to test the bootloader

No i don't have pictures of me holding the devices so all i have is my word, believe me or not i got to demo it, i guess the next time he comes with the bionic i'll make sure to sneak a picture for hard proof
[Xoom General] raptor92:
Did you heard that it will cost about 799$???

It's too much!!!
[Xoom General] cslawren:
Engadget is reporting that the price at Best Buy will be 699.99, which is a marked improvement over the 800 that has been making waves. That makes it much more reasonable, but I want to know about the bootloader (aka is it locked) before I buy it.
[Xoom General] Kov695:
Still is alot.....i could see the $450-500 range and this would def be a competitor for, well any tablet out there!
[Xoom General] zillahakzor:
I just went to Motorola's FB page. I don't think it's a bad idea to start asking them to unlock their boot loaders. Maybe if enough people tell them they want it unlocked they'll start unlocking them. I see no way it can hurt.
[Xoom General] ma42091:

[Xoom General] kenyu73:
At that price, it would be way to cheap. We're talking about state of the art tech that completely knocks the winds out of the highest price iPad ($799-$849).

Even though I'd love to buy it for $450, I'd be worried why is was so cheap.... $699 is OK. If I had to wish a reasonable price, I'd say $599.
[Xoom General] Drewmungus:
Damn I was just getting lots of schemes to buy one with my tax money, then you guys have to mention the bootloader!

It might be too late for the Xoom Facebook spam plan though. If its going to launch in a couple weeks they are probably already making them.

Anybody know if any Dev's have said they are definitely going to develop for it yet?
[Xoom General] _bryan_:
The xoom looks very cool.

but i will not buy this if moto locked the bootloader.
[Xoom General] atoy74:
I'm hoping that they'll treat the Xoom in the same manner they did the original Droid. That phone was almost a Google Experience device. Since there's no moto blur crap on Xoom's Honeycomb I have my hopes up.
[Xoom General] latexink:
If the bootloader is not locked I am all over this thing... They should have gone to htc instead of moto though.
[Xoom General] RellikZephyr:
How does motorola NOT realize they would double their sales if they just let go of their apple-centric views on the bootloader

i, like most here, would be ALL over this and the Atrix in a second if i knew the bootloader was not locked. but i will be waiting until i know

and if it IS locked their will be no sale here, not even a maybe

[Xoom General] sthoeft:
Same with me. The last Moto Devices are really nice, but with a locked Bootloader I don't even want to think about buying one. If the bootloader would be unlocked I would buy a Defy and a Xoom and a Atix. Hope the LG 2x wouldn't be locked and the Acer or Asus Pads also.
[Xoom General] Oddity:
Really? You think HALF of the prospective buyers of their devices decide against it because of the bootloader?
[Xoom General] alex2792:
Yeah the Xoom looks sweet but my god the honeycomb emulator SUCKS. I started working on my tablet app, but the emulator crawls and does not change screen orientation properly making it pretty much useless. This is on my 2010 MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Core2Duo w/4gigs of RAM. I've never had any problems with Android phone emulator, but the honeycomb literally crawls. It takes almost a minute for my app to launch and I can't even properly test the widget because the screen orientation isn't working properly with the virtual buttons staying on the side in landscape mode when they should be at the bottom.:mad:
[Xoom General] nashmage:
The Honeycomb emulator was a preview so I would not get too bothered by it. I also ran it and it was pretty terrible. It was nice just to get it up and running and seeing how everything will look.

Once the Xoom is released (hopefully this month) I am sure we will have a lot more released and the emulator will run much better.
[Xoom General] alex2792:
I certainly hope that google updates the SDK soon, because having to plug in the Xoom(once I get it) to test a basic function would be a huge PITA. I was hoping that I could get it on the market soon after the release, but at this stage it isn't gonna happen :(

[Xoom General] Dexter_nlb:
there is already quite a few tegra2 based devices around, both good and bad ones..

all depends on quality of the display primarily and some with less memory and most without any 3G support, except where its implemented by custom roms (now).

but those i looked at for now do not have any efuse or locked bootloader, but there is something that could corrupt the bootloader installation if the key (seems to be 8 bytes only) is not correct, if used that is.

but i think you will see Xoom being an open platform. they might enable signature checks on update.zip's but if it gets rooted, the partitions would be easy to install a replacement reocovery onto, like on all existing tegra2 devices.

but if they use secondary chips for security, it could be possible, but it does not look like nvidia did much to secure the contents of their devices, like omap has support for locking the device.

but thats for now based on existing tablets.

do note:

Tegra2 has no NEON arm7 support, so many games like from gameloft, initially will not work, so if its used/compiled it will not run. secondly nvidia atm do not have same OpenGL ES support, so these games needs to be released for tegra2 support..

so don't get too excited when its out and you test games on it, and those from gameloft fails.

but its looking good, and all existing users of tegra2 devices is looking forward to getting honeycomb from Xoom when its out , and for like $500 less of the xoom costs (but i guess/hope motorola's display will be much better, which is an advantage).
[Xoom General] socomdark:
according to @britishturbo on twitter he says the bootloader is locked. he says his source is a "friend" which i guess is to protect the identity of the person. he writes for a tech site and i doubt he is trolling so unless moto says otherwise i think this wont be as "open" as it should be.
[Xoom General] Dexter_nlb:
lets just hope i'm right and he is wrong..

current tegra2 tablets confirms its not used today, but of course new technologies could be used.
[Xoom General] setite:
Thank you for the warning. I was looking forward to finally enjoying some gameloft games in a way I simply can't on my EVO. It is always good to be prepared for any roadblocks.
