[Windows Phone 7 General] Armarn:
Hi, WP7 support UNICODE?

I see some post where its said that WP7 supports Unicode,

But on my HD7 I cant see Georgian Text (UNICODE)
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
what part of the phone are you looking at? i know the browser does support it, but i'm not sure about the rest of the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Armarn:
browser (IE),

I just navigate to http://google.GE

and get squares not Georgian text (Unicode)
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
the net seems to be stuffed on my phone at the moment... thanks vodafail.

i will try and test it when i can and get back to you on what it looks like on my phone. but i always through ie supported it, but if you're saying it's blocks, then i guess not.

if you want to know when it will be, twtter/facebook/social.microsoft.com would be the best ways to get in contact with them and find out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Armarn:
Hm..., WP7 supports UNICODE!, because when i navigate to http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=yi its Yiddish google page its shows text correct!

Yiddish is UTF-8 and Georgian is also UTF-8

So perhaps its missing Georgian font

but how can I add Georgian font to WP7, and what fonts are supported...
[Windows Phone 7 General] alfa-batsi:
Would be nice, if Microsoft would allow just copying sylfaen.ttf to windows\fonts directory, just like good old wm6.5:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] rob_p:
Pretty certain WP7 supports unicode since it's based on Silverlight which does so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alfa-batsi:
Yes it does support unicode. But for some reason it is missing fonts for some languages, like Georgian, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsraining2008:
use chevron ringtone installer for add fonts to wp7.

first step u need to change *.ttf to *.wma (chevron will build as ringtone)

after that deploy to ur phone.

open touch explorer and change file name to *.ttf

copy to /windows/fonts

don't know working or not

sorry for my poor english :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
I think the whole system is unicode.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheOnly1:
WP7 has unicode. Cyrillic alphabet is working fine in browser, mail client, Office etc. The problem here is with the fonts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alfa-batsi:
I do not think it works. WP has some kind of restriction on ttf extensions.

1. You can not copy ttf's through mail attachements,

2. touchexplorer freezes when changing file extension to ttf.

Even worth. I coocked my own rom with Sylfaen.ttf in init and tweaked the registry as well. All I get is blank screen when viewing Georgian pages. Anyone has suggestions?
[Windows Phone 7 General] htusitthu:
how to install unicode to HD7

Here is same problem too. I can't install my native font to HD7.

Could somebody help?

Thank in adv!
[Windows Phone 7 General] alfa-batsi:
No Help Yet:(

I have truyed all kind of diffrent things to make georgian letters appear, but no hope. The furthest I could get is view georgian in MS Word, that's it... On the internet I found out that the unicode support in WP7 is half way through. It has problems displaying some charecter sets. So, I gues will have to wait for M$ to work this problem out.:mad:
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
So I got sick of typing

$su

#mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

#chmod 777 /system

So I wrote a script and I just click on it in gscript.

Does this officially make me a white belt, lowest rank possible dev? Aahaha

Pm me and I can send you the script if you want haha.

(Yes, you are all supposed to laugh and make fun of me now)
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Ill give you a pat on the back. That's one small step to being a scripter :p

[G2 and Desire Z General] g_grey:

[G2 and Desire Z General] jojo_16:
Atleast u know how to do a script, I dnt even know how to use ADB.. root guided by youtube, I dnt mod my phone w/o watching video carefully n step by step method..

Cheers.. future DEV
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Congrats on the script! It's get's easier now that you have the concept - then it gets hard again lol.

While we're on the subject of scripting - any reason you choose that system rw mount script? There's 3 ways I've seen it done and they are all completely different... maybe the have different functions?

Again, good job and I like your idea. I saves a lot of typing especially with those commands since we type them a lot.
[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
I think just by writing a successful script.. you are already above MANY xda users.

Kudos.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KiNG OMaR:
So this is the part where you tell me what it does, right? :p
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
His script mounts the system as rw.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Nice script :P

What I do is a little different. I have it saved as my initial command for terminal, so it starts whenever I use terminal.

The code I use is this:

export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

su

mount -o rw,remount /system

I am obvlious though as to why you put yaffs2 and mtdblock3 and all that, I never thought it was necessary since it works just fine without it. I'm not too keen on linux syntax though so its probably obvious but I'm curious anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
That's what my question was too lol. It's a great script especially for his first but now he should make it less bulky. If it's being ran in terminal as a script then all he would really need is this:

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /system

I don't believe you need to use su before running it but I always do just in case.

Of course you'll want to make a /system ro script (unmount) too so you're not always in mounted in rw access.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Haha, thanks!

I found that leaving out the yaffs2 etc didn't work. I read somewhere that you need this line with certain kernels. I wish I could give you a more learned answer though.

I'm thinking it's a good idea to put the system back in ro too, actually. Now I'll have made two scripts haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Not positive on all of this, so someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

is used to mount system by accessing the NAND (hence the yaffs2 filesystem and mtdblock device). Many of the older Android guides use this command (since the older phones all used raw flash).

The Vision (and many of the newer phones) use an eMMC though, which has an FTL to present the NAND as a block device to the OS (just like a hard drive). This is why in many of the guides written nowadays, you'll see something more like this:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

This accesses the eMMC as a native block device (hence the ext3 filesystem). This is probably the "more correct" way of mounting the partition as it utilizes the actual FTL controller on the NAND as opposed to the more inefficient linux virtual block driver (what mtdblock does), so it's a little cleaner from a software development standpoint. Both commands accomplish the same thing though, so you could really use either.

The shortened form of the remount is what others have been listing:

mount -o rw,remount /system

Basically, since the system partition had already been mounted by the OS on boot, it should already know the proper way to remount it (i.e., you don't have to retell it the device or filesystem used). I don't believe this command will work on every ROM out of the box though (requiring either Busybox to have been installed or ro.secure=0 to be set in your default properties, maybe both).
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Excellent and informative post! So is the reason why the

Mount -o rw,remount /system

Command doesn't't work for me is because busybox isn't installed? I'll test this out right now...

Also, I was thinking chmod 777 might be redundant because the system is already rw. Is this true? My understanding is the chmod 777 simply sets whatever path after it as modifyable. Is there a difference between rw and being able to modify files in linux?
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Hmm. When I try the stripped down command, I get the usage message...
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
Well if you want to know if you have busybox just do this:

su
cd /system/bin
busybox

That should start busybox. It will say 'not found' if you don't have it - so if you need it the easy way is to use titanium backup to install it.

Btw, ianmcquinn that was very informative and well written. Thanks for explaining it so well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Definitely have busybox. Definitely still just gives me the usage information...weird.

How do I set secure=0?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
ro.secure=0 is standard on most roms, so I asume you are just using a rooted stock build? You will need to unpack your kernel, change the ro.secure from a 0 to a 1, and repack the kernel. If you don't know how to do that, use

this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] AllWin:
What ROM you are using now? VillainROMZ?

Sent from my HTC Desire Z, using magic XDA app
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
Virtuous 0.9.0
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
I don't use Virtuous, but I would be shocked if it didn't already have ro.secure=0 set already. You can check by typing this in terminal:

getprop ro.secure

It should return a 0. This property is set in the ramdisk within your boot.img. To set it yourself, you would have to unpack the image, modify the setting in the default.prop file, repack the image, and then flash it back to your phone. As was said earlier though, pretty much all of the custom roms set this for you already.

Not sure what is going on in your case then. Maybe try running the mount command explicitly through busybox to see if that is the problem.

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

If this works, sounds like you may want to reinstall busybox since the symlinks were not properly set up. Another thing maybe worth trying is to swap the order of remount and rw in the options. I've seen reports of this making a difference for some people, but have no clue why it should (maybe different versions of the mount command/busybox). Kind of a long shot. So try either of these commands:

mount -o remount,rw /system
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

EDIT: In case you were curious, here's a link I had bookmarked about how to edit the boot.img. I'm sure there are others out there as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Yes, I get a 0 returned.

All the commands preceded by busybox work just fine. I guess I just have to reinstall busybox...

I used titanium backup to reinstall busybox, but no dice: same thing as before.

I have to drive my wife to work right now (getting the glare right now...just kidding :P she's a sweetheart haha), but later I will look into uninstalling busybox and getting a cleaner reinstall.

What are symlinks?

And thanks for that link! I am always curious about things like that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Symlinks are short for symbolic links (simplistically, you can think of them as more powerful versions of shortcuts). If they were set up properly, the mount command would be linked to busybox so that anytime you run it, busybox would actually be called.

Not sure how TiBu does it, but you can also try reinstalling busybox manually in terminal if you can't get it working. Assuming busybox to be in your /system/xbin directory, mount your system as rw and then run the following command:

/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin
[G2 and Desire Z General] lalalandrus:
or sym links can do something like this assuming the file /data/local/hosts exists...

ln -s /data/local/hosts /system/etc/hosts

then periodically run

busybox wget http://209.68.48.119/winhelp2002/hosts.txt -o /data/local/hosts

:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
That link looks like a list of ad hosts for the ads found in certain apps. Why am I adding this to my hosts?
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Oh wait, you are giving me an example of how symlinks work haha.

Could you use this link to effectively block the ads from these sites?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Yup. The link command

ln -s /data/local/hosts /system/etc/hosts

creates a symbolic link from the hosts file in your /data/local directory to your /system/etc/hosts directory. This is useful because your data partition is rw by default. The next command then downloads a periodically updated ad blocking hosts file (if you wanted to replace your host file, you would have had to mounted the system partition as rw first---by using the symbolic link, you can skip this step each time). Your phone will then block any connections to these IPs. Alternatively, you can use the app AdFree (though this simply replaces your host file with this ad blocking one).

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane6374:
I believe this is correct, someone correct me if I am wrong. If you boot into recovery using quickboot or the vol dn+camera+power it should boot into CWM3. If you go into recovery through Rom Manager then it should boot into CWM2.5 since you have it installed. Really there shouldn't be a need to remove the old version of CWM. Just use the proper boot method to boot into the version of CWM you need for what ever you are doing. Note that most 2.5 zips will fail once 3.0 is installed. Thinking that about the only think that will work in 2.5 are the journal mods.

[G Tablet Android Development] Powers16:
I just got the Viewsonic G tablet today and I was pretty bummed that there were hardly any market apps. I decided to take matters in my own hands to get full market on the device without having to edit a bunch of stuff.

Requirements...

A rooted android phone preferably 2.1 or higher.

a Viewsonic tab... duh.

Step 1.

Download Android ID Changer on your rooted phone.

Download Atstro Filemanager.

Keep the Viewsonic close by, your going to need it soon.

After both files are downloaded on your rooted device open Astro File Manager and press menu > tools> application manager/backup.

Backup Android ID changer.

Now plug the phone into your computer and browse to Sdcard/backups/apps and transfer the Android ID Changer.apk to your desktop or use your favorite file manager that can send files via email/bluetooth and send to yourself which ever is easier for you.

Plug your Gtab into your desktop via USB and enable usb transfer.

Copy the Android ID Changer.apk to your Gtab's Sdcard root.

[Magic Time!]

Now Go back to your Rooted Android Phone and run the Android Id Changer

When you run the id changer its going to ask for ROOT access, this is fine, allow it.

On the top under current Android ID please write down the 16 digit Android ID number.

that is all you need from your phone. Uninstall or do what you wish with it.

Use the Ifilemanager that is bundled with the Tnt 3.1.4 rom and navigate to your SDCARD Root, look for android id changer.apk and install it.

Once installed, launch the android id changer and grant it root/superuser permissions.

You will see a white box that says Enter New Android ID

Enter the 16 digit android id number and double check your work even triple check.

click save android id and then Change Id, This will reboot your machine instantly.

When you get back to the home screen reopen android id changer and check to make sure it matches your phone's id.

Now go to your home screen and press the menu button, then go to settings, then go to applications, then system applications, go to market application and clear cache and force stop. go to Market updater and force stop, Go to Google Services Framework and clear *DATA*, force stop. go to your home screen and launch Market. If you get an error than it worked, Reboot your machine and you will be welcomed with a full market.

Things i noticed...

1. Sometimes the market will give me a connection error but i think its my wifi im not sure, i do have full market and i have installed countless apps.

2. The Android id is basically cloning my phone making market think my gtab is a HTC EVO.

3. The Market is stable aside from every now and then a connection error will show but hitting retry and it goes on through but like i said i think its my network more than anything.

This is only confirmed on Tnt 3.1.4 nothing else, I'm sharing this information with you because i didn't want to install a dirty market, i want something i knew would work.

If this information already exists, please remove this post I honestly didn't go that deep in the forums looking for an answer when I just made it work myself.
[G Tablet Android Development] pmcnano:
Do you see NFS Shift?
[G Tablet Android Development] Powers16:
No, but I do see dungeon defenders. I don't know if NFS shift supports the hardware inside these devices personally. I have the whole market, i mean i can search for appbrain, i got it, i can search for autokiller, i got it. I would almost have to be the hardware conflict between the devices. or not even that, it could be as simple as "Does this game support tegra 2? no? ok then dont show it on the list" Dungeon Defenders openly states that it supports Tegra processors and would explain why its showing up on market and not NFS shift.

*update*EA stated that they are making a NFS shift for Tablets meaning Tegra 2 support. that explains it not showing on market.

So Could i pull the data from my droid X and use that?
[G Tablet Android Development] eddyo78:
not to burst your bubble or anything but all of your steps about getting the 16 digit code from your phone can be skipped. just do a search for market fix and you will find the way to do it.

it is very similar to what you had after the 16 digit copy thing. it will save you a bunch of time.

i have just about a full market just as you explain but without copying the 16 digit thing.

:D

Can you share how you were able to get that 16 digit Android ID number?

I would like to use the number from my Droid X...
[G Tablet Android Development] Powers16:
You get the number by installing Android ID changer from the market using your Rooted Droid X. Once the Android ID Changer is installed on your phone then you can open it and grant the software Super users privlidges and then it will show you the 16 digit id number.

This fix is for those who dont want to download modified markets or "dirty markets"

they can just download any market at that point and use it normally. But like i stated earlier if there is a easier fix then by all means use it, this is my personal fix im sharing with you all.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Not completely true. Tetris works on the tablet
[G Tablet Android Development] Sess:
lol

So, fyi, this is a standard market hack. Furthermore, Most of the ea apps run, including madden, on the GTab. They have substantial texture issues though. Fifa may be broken now as of the last update. I can see many ea titles in my market, including NFS Shift, most likely due to modifying my Build Prop to match my droidx's signature.
