Arabic Support in Android 3.0 Honeycomb
It looks like official native support for Arabic finally comes to Android
See the snapshots at http://bit.ly/honeycomb-arabic

best luck pro ...

looking for this also...

Do I have to root?
I think you just need to add Arabic font after rooting your phone. I did not try this yet and I am new to android.
Or maybe using one of Arabic supported ROMs like Cynagon for example.
I hope anyone can help.. I am still looking for a solution for my nexus s.

I flashed latest build of cyanogen for nexus one yesterday and seems arabic is finally solved. letters are connected letters, right to left alignment in msgs.
It's CM7 build#35

It's now late November 2011. Any news of newer Arabic language stuff for droid phones?

I want to know about Arabic in droid too, bc my native lg for Uyghur. it's same to Arabic for use.

Noon keyboard
NOON KEYBOARD
WRITE ENGLISH GET ARABIC LIKE YAMLI BUT ON A KEYBOARD
Must have keyboard for all those who want to write arabic on android
Supports 2.1 and up
Cheers

Salam Aluikum everyone. Currently my sister's husband owns a htc sensation, and has been griping about reading Arabic on it. Now I COULD go and install cyanogen 7 on his sensation, as that has good Arabic support... but I personally don't want to do it as 1- I'm lazy, and 2- if something changes and he doesn't like it, guess who he's going to ***** at?
so are there any ways of displaying Arabic on his android correctly in everything? like texts, emails, and etc. The only thing I could think of was making him install Firefox as his browser, so he could read Arabic websites

COS DS Android 2.3.4 rom now supports all ASOP+CM languages and locals splited into 4 builds:
for arabic choose:
Build Langpack1:en_US ar_EG ar_IL ur_PK fa_IR bg_BG ca_ES cs_CZ da_DK de_AT de_CH de_DE de_LI el_GR en_AU
it has full support for arabic language...

Does Froyo come with built in Hebrew fonts?

I just flashed the modaco Froyo over the stock at&t N1 and i can see Hebrew characters .
Anyone knows if this is finally built into Android or is this something added by Paul?

official update rom includes hebrew fonts, aswell as arabic.

Sweet! Finally!!!

But the arabic fonts are Disconnected

Both work in emulation
Don't know how much bearing this has on a real device, but the stock FroYo emulation does support both Hebrew and Arabic website display.
No testing yet with alternative input, but the output looks as though it is finally in place.

Galaxy S with Darky's v8

In order to have connected characters in Arabic you have to flash either one of JPG/JPA roms..
Unfortunately, Android doesnt support Arabic natively (Which is stupid by Google.. its the #1 most requested feature of Android)..

But before I flash it this phone it have Arabic language perfectly , then Android support Arabic, also all samsung galaxy in Morocco have include support Arabic and in Midle East all samsung galaxy S is Full arabic.
But I know there some Plug'in for Arabic Language but i don't know where can I find it.

Have you read Darkyy's first thread fully? He has put up a patch for partial fix for Arabic /hebrew support. This is the link from his post Pointed out by Spike_M
EDIT : Anyone with other modded rom's having this problem too?

Did this really deserve a separate thread?

yes this only for Keyboard arabic support this cannot resolve probleme for Arabic Letters Cutting

I beg your pardon??
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Omg, post in the Darkys thread?
And that looks about right to me.
Or just learn english..

this problem really deserve a topic !
hopefully we will find a solution .

Go darky site arabic section
i think you will find what you looking for

SEARCH IN GOOGLE FOR
Darkys_v8_Hebrew_Support_V2

Yeah, this is the Development Section of XDA.
Because I don't want my users to create threads just about my ROM @XDA and spam the entire board, I created my own board.
And the ROM thread is way too huge to get an answer.
Please come to www.darkyrom.com/community and ask us there

You mean if this file is included, you get to read all Arabic /Hebrew stuff correctly?
Can this file be modified to include ALL the languages of the world?

I'm using cm7_tom_v2 2.3.2. there's arabic (egypt) in locale settings while the system could not be configured into arabic. but arabic can be typed and shown well on my device with ibrahim keyboard downloaded for the market. before flashing my device to 2.3.2 i was using sense 2.19, i required for help from the official site and they suggested downloading "customlocale.apk" in market. the arabic could be typed but could not be shown with the same settings which i use now. considering other performances of rom i prefer cm7 and i recommend it to you.

this is work for arabic keyboard ??? my device htc hero

Try nightly builds from CyanogenMod 7, I see it has arabic keyboard support.

[REQ] Porting for I9000JPJPM Rom to Vibrant

Hi All,
There is a new leaked I9000 2.2.1 rom (I9000JPJPM) which is said to be faster than most of the other I9000 ROMs and it has full Arabic language support.
This rom was leaked from one Samsung service centers and was deodexed and rooted by a developer in Ce4Arab (Galaxyer).
This rom seems to be very good solution to help Arabic users of Vibrant and I think that we should have one developer who will bring it to our Vibrants.
Also this rom might be faster than most of the other roms and good to be used as a base rom for other custom roms.
this is a link to the rom in I9000 forum

Not sure if this is of any use to you but I will be adding arabic support to my ROM using JPM sources.
If you like, I can put you on the testers list.

Thanks alot
But Arabic support is not just for resources it needs to have many files replaced in the operating system in order to support RTL (right to left) languages and to support Arabic shaping.
So in order to have Arabic support we better use the same system files.
Why dont you try to use it as a base rom and see if it improves the performance then we will have a fast rom plus Arabic support

Is a 2.2.1. There is no difference between them in terms of performance
There is a patch for arabic support in the i9000 forums. So, you could pretty much flash any i9000 based ROM that has arabic translation and install that patch. That should give you arabic support.
EDIT: ramad has a collection of deodexed roms here
He will probably deodex it soon. Switch the kernel in the zip with a Vibrant one and it should work.

I know about the Arabic support patch and I am using it right now
The real problem in this patch is with Arabic shaping function which kills the cpu if you try to scroll in a page which contains Arabic.
You can feel this problem if you scroll because it will not be smooth when there is Arabic text.
I think Samsung official implementation will be much better plus many users who used this rom in their I9000 in CE4Arab forum say they get much better result in Quadrant compared with other 2.2.1 releases.

I was hoping you will mention about quadrant scores
Quadrant and linpack are useless benchmark applications due to the fact that they were not build for testing Hummingbird processors nor RFS.
SmartBench 2011 seems a bit more accurate. However, there is nothing better than real life experience that can tell you how fast/smooth is a ROM. And that, unfortunately, is not measurable...

Thanks for these information
I am using a custom I9000 right now and I am happy with the customizations but not quite happy with Arabic patch.
I want to try this rom but I don't want to lose the customizations and use a stock rom that is why I want someone to port and customize this rom

I was reading through the thread you linked, and it seems there is some confusion if it is an official firmware.

This is original firmware but it was not released yet by Samsung.
Some lucky guy at Ce4Arab forum sent his phone to service center and they flashed it for him.
Then he uploaded system folder for another forum member (Galaxyer) who Deodexed and rooted it and made it into Odin image.
That is why they are saying it is not official but this doesnt mean that it was not made originally by Samsung

It seems to be here or there on the opinions in the thread whether its official or not. If not publically released, can it be called official? Or should it be thought of as leaked? I think leaked, but thats just one man's opinion.

I deodexed it lastnight. Added haptic feedback. Failed on the services.jar though, whitehawkx is going to look at the method today.

You can make one but you might want working wifi, gps, haptic feedback and for it to not reboot at -79dBm... If that is the case then let me finish testing and the upload is already underway.

By the way - when I went back to it this morning, I had deod a rom by clicking on the wrong one last night...
Added OverStock 2.2
S.Gps.2.
Haptic Feedback to home key.
Gigantanormous multi csc
Services.jar fixes.
etc..
Also this comes stock with the Quran, Prayer Times and Qibla direction!
I think this will be my driver for today just for a little change up.

It has indeed full Arabic support, some apps not translated though (google specific).
The languages are Arabic, Urdu, Persian, French, EN_US, EN_GB and Korean.
Full right to left support and there is no lag as the OP was stating that exists with the arabic patch. Good find for Arabic users
