please, how i can support arabic language in Complete FroYo Bundle** FRX07.1 (rhod100)??
http://ardoid.com/
It's been asked before, this is the answer. However, this is for native Android devices, and I'm not sure anyone figured out how to get it working on our port. I never did figure it out, but I'm far from an expert on this stuff.
Here's how it worked for me: (Originally provided here)
1 - Download the "libskia.rar" attached to this post.
2 - You will need the latest version of a program called "Root Explorer" (tested with 2.17.1). Download and install it on your device, and don't forget to give it superuser permissions when you run it for the first time.
3 - Extract the "libskia.so" file from the package, and copy it to the "system/lib" folder on your device using Root Explorer. Use the "mount r/w" button to give the program permission to overwrite the file.
4 - Android should restart itself automatically when you copy the file. If it doesn't, restart Android manually. Your device now shows Arabic letters correctly.
The only problem with this method is that it doesn't solve the RTL text direction problem, but it is indeed a very acceptable solution that enables you to use Android for daily use.
Try it and tell us what happens. It worked for me using FRX07.1.
Oh, and arrrghhh, thank you for your devotion and efforts to bring Android to the Tilt2. Why don't you mention this method in the FAQ so that it could be found more easily by FRX07 users? And best of luck with the GBX01 effort!

np, and glad someone made an easy guide.
Can you make one change? Can you actually attach the files instead of linking to another site? Thanks.
I will consider adding it to the FAQ, but honestly this question has only been asked maybe 2-3x in the 2 years I've been involved in this project... not a very 'frequently' asked question is my point .
Sorry for reviving a dead thread but I just wanted to know is XDAndroid deodexed or odexed, I have searched and at a guess I would say it is deodexed but I haven't found anything that gives me certainty so if anyone could answer I would be grateful.
Thanks in advanced
Just before anyone says what does this have to do with Arabic I have found this site (http://blog.devasque.com/) that seems to have a method that works across the board so I just wanted to give it a try. I will post my results
Also the method posted above is ok but it seemed to mess up my English documents.

It's AOSP... so I guess odexed? I honestly have no clue.
Arrrghhh, as you weren’t sure I thought I’d give it a go any way and after a lot of testing I found that it works so I’m guessing the rom is deodexed.
My findings, the latest patch to work on both the GB0C and FRX07.1 builds is 0.789 anything after that seems to cause either boot loops or freezes.
Also it seems to work very well with both the direction being correct and the letter displaying correctly joined.
So if anyone wants Arabic this seems like a good option, all you have to do is:
Download the 0.789 patch from http://blog.devasque.com/how-to-apply-patch/ and extract it.
Then copy the framework.jar file from the system/framework folder on your phone to the framework folder in the patch folder, after that run command.exe and follow the instructions. After it finishes you will find a new framework.jar in the generated folder just replace your old file with the new one and reboot and hopefully you should see all the Arabic and like fonts displayed correctly.
There are instructions on the site but they are for the newest patches, the instructions I have posted are from what I did with this older version they are very similar just some minor folder name changes and less files to be converted.
Just like to say all the credit goes to Madmack and the people that have worked with him.
Cool, I'm sure that will help some people
Hey guys, I just wanted to put this out here for any developers who need these files. If you are like me and frequently reflashing your device you will want these files readily accessible. They are hosted on XDA-Developers. I used my DNS provider on AdamOutler.com to provide an easy web-hop link.

I just figured I'd make a thread and let you guys know about these links. I'm just rehosting them, none of it is my original work. Credits for the authors are in the files.
Note, as of the time of this posting, the easy links are still filtering through the DNS servers. They should be up in about an hour.
Ok, fine, I voted for you!
Just don't forget about us NT owners when you get your new toys!
I am not eligible for contract renewal with AT&T until October 2012. By then I fully expect a MST of cool stuff I can do with it because of my vote for your to win one !
This post has nothing to do with the contest. You're looking at my signature.. My signature will change on Friday.
The site "multiupload" (www.multiupload.com/) is down at the moment it seems. :/ (hope SOPA has NOTHING to do with this.... >:/) and all downloads via that source is inaccessible. Just a heads up for those who didn't notice. Also, Please, if possible, upload (if even) the latest versions of your work(s??) to an accessible link.
P.S. STILL DYING TO GET A WORKING LINK TO THE "Airtel_TN_Config files" FILE UNDER THE DOWNLOAD SECTION OF THIS THREAD>>>>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434300 ANYONE WITH A WORKING LINK TO THIS FILE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
Thank you.
Q&A for Definitive guide to Rooting the Gear S
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer.
Before posting, please use the forum search and read through the discussion thread for Definitive guide to Rooting the Gear S. If you can't find an answer, post it here, being sure to give as much information as possible (firmware version, steps to reproduce, logcat if available) so that you can get help.
Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial....worked first try!
Wow, I have never seen rooting of anything so well explained.
I mean, even I may be able to do it, if I can figure out the gain over potential risk if I screw it up.
Thanks for the great write-up!
Does anyone know how I can chnge the clock font I want my custom font

Im on my phone right now, but you can do some editing of colors and images, which isnt too hard. You have to find the .edj files, use edje_decc to decompile them, you will end up with a edc file and a build.sh file to recompile.
Pretty much what i've found is we will not see custom watch faces on the lockscreen, till Samsung allows us. I have figured out some ways to customize the default digital time lock screen.
If you change any of the api permissions in the xml files make sure to update smack as it will reject it.
Ive been able to pull packages using Sdb. For instance I pulled, /usr/apps/com.samsung.w-contacts2, which has some images that are decompiled, like home screen icons. So I havent actually decompiled anything. Sdb pulls all of the folders and signatures. If I wanted to edit a couple of images then push it back to my watch, how would that be done?
For those that do not know what the directory structure looks like, as I asked in my previous post, download DiskInternals Linux viewer
http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/ Open the program and browse to rootfs.img file of Cipherswitch and mount the image. It allows you to view the files on the image.
What exactly is Flora? I thought all linux distros were open source. Isnt Tizen based on Linux?

@ooms ya, when I pulled that particular app, it came in folders. Now that I think about it, its just a usr folder. I was hoping to theme the whole os.

So digging around, in the contact app folder in res/edje you have 4 .edj files you will need to decompile using edje_decc and edit then recompile.
Flora = http://floralicense.org/
So all the system apps in the source are already pre-compiled, there are some .h files that refer to the apps and "distributor" level api's but no .c files.
So till they release the source can't do too much custom stuff. Kind of like how they release the source of the Note boot loader but it's worthless because it's locked with proprietary information that they won't release.
Just the other way around.

Following the Gear S thread... quick question for another device...
@Cipher,
First of all, great thread, I've been following only for a couple hours and I've read every post from the last month or so (starting when it was posted by someone else and taken over by you in this thread) I'm excited to get started on rooting my Gear S.
On another note altogether though, I was wondering if you knew of a resource where I could get info on rooting the Galaxy S4, AND Galaxy S4 active. I'm currently trying to root both to work with DoCoMo here in Japan and I've read some success stories but have had no luck myself. I'm fairly versed in Linux, Android, and some rooting experience with other devices but I can't seem to get these ones to cooperate.
I've tried the "TowelRoot" and the other vairiant from Geohot with no success. I just finished my 7th attempt with the Kingo root, again, no success. Both Galaxy phones are running 4.4.2. One is the "active" variant, and one is straight up S4. I'm ultimately trying to get all my devices to work on the DoCoMo network here in Japan and I know I can do it with the right resources. Any help you can provide is GREATLY appreciated. Please feel free to email me if you have the time. Keep in mind we are 15 hours or so ahead of you guys so it may take me a minute to respond. Thanks again, I look forward to hearing from you.

Excuse me the bad English i hope so I helped some users with this information.
Hello, I have a big request.
I have a XIDO Z120 / 3G 32 GB and looking for a long time for the original firmware.
I have found it now, but it is on BAIDU and I am unable to create an account there to load the file.
Does anyone have the possibility with a Baido account to load this file and to provide it here?
Unfortunately, I can not post a link here, but if anyone has the opportunity I can send the link via PM.
Thank you in advance
