First of all, Happy new year to everyone
I was wondering how can we allow the HD2 to preview a language other than english, such as sms, email, contacts without changing the GUI language.

Try in regional settings,
selecting your preferred language
Hi Zazu and happy new year to you.
You can download the manuals for the HD2 from HTC's website which should help you get to know your new toy better.

Well, yes, that works if one is using an alphabetic language. Unfortunately, such a simple solution is not possible if the required language is an Asian language. Under those circumstances, installing fonts is required, or flashing a ROM that supports the language so that you can also use a soft keyboard for input.
@Som30ne: Thank you for replying, but Arabic is not found in one of the languages
@wacky.banana: Thanks for the tip, I did that already and read through it, perhaps I missed it but i couldnt find anything that referred to adding an asian language.
@rlydiard: So where can I download an asian font for the phone ? And where should I install it.
I am skeptic about flashing the ROM because it voids the warranty, and can damage the phone if done incorrectly.
Thank you all for the help

I wish I could help you more on locating Arabic fonts, but as I am based on the island where HTC is headquartered, I am only familiar with installing traditional or simplified Chinese fonts in an English UI.
There are many talented Arabian members on XDA who can probably start you out in the right direction. Any fonts you acquire can be placed in the Windows folder on your device. This method will allow you to read the Arabic fonts on your device, but your keyboard would not allow you to write, so that is a whole other problem.
Perhaps doing a search of all the forums will come up with some leads on locating an Arabic font for you.

Maybe you should try this:
http://www.penreader.com/pocket-pc/...abic_Download_area_for_Language_Extender.html
What you need is an Arabizer and as far as I know one of the best solution is MOBiDIV (http://www.citglobal.com/mobidiv/home.jsp) It's shareware but really reliable and as far as i Know it has been testet successfully on HD2....

Unfortunately, not all answers can be found in HTC user manuals, but then, that is why XDA Developers exists in the first place, right? Getting unofficially supported languages to work on our beloved HTC devices is a good example of that.
@rlydiard: Thank you for the help anyway
@Som30ne: This program changes the language of the whole UI, I only want the phone to read another language, keyboard isnt as important now since its a hassle to fix.
@lee1980: Thank you for the link, ill read more into it
Guys I want to ask, if I copied an Arabic font from C:\Windows\Fonts in my computer to the HTC Windows folder, will that work ?
Thanks for the help Really appreciate it !!
Hmm I want to try sending some fonts to the phone, but should I send OpenType or TrueType ?
Can anyone please tell me if I can add fonts this way ?
Hey guys, how come there are many views and no new replies ((
I tried sending a font from C:\Windows\Fonts to HTC Windows\Fonts
But nothing really happened, I restarted the phone and nothing happened as well.
Any thoughts ?

You can try the attached file. It uses traditional Chinese though, not simplified characters. Unfortunately, at the moment I do not have a solution for simplified characters. Also, you can check this thread

If I find another solution I will let you know. In the meantime, you might post a request on the thread where the last solution was found. Maybe someone there knows how to change the order of words. It seems like a rather strange bug. You might also follow this thread, although I know you do not want to flash your LEO.
Hi,
I really need an Arabic support to my milestone 2 device. I've searched the net for a solution with no result, it might be due to the fact that milestone 2 hasn't been officially released in the middle east!!
I'm quite sure it's possible because milestone 1, Defy and Atrix users have had a solution for this issue, then why not me?
Please guys any help would be appreciated, I'm fed up with this!
I'm running the latest firmware 2.2.2
Thanks in advance!.

We would have all languages if we would have a Cyanogenmod ROM but we haven't at this moment. You can eventually install More Locale app from market, and add your locale. After that you will get your language in all apps that support it.

Just install the "More Locale" app from the Android Market, and add your (Arabic) locale in this app. After that all installed apps will recognize your system locale as the Arabic and automatically will be translated to this language if support it. Just try and see results.
agent008my, mkmck or anyone can help, if you could guide me through this?
I've found this generic Arabic files for android 2.2 & 2.3
but I don't know if I can apply them to milestone 2 and how? because I'm no expert in milestone 2 firmware, especially that Arabic is shown in my device but the problem is that it's not connected letters, so there is a little hope here

the steps to the link there is pretty straight forward. you have to make sure your phone is rooted though. to root your phone, check through the android development section of this MS2 forum and you should be able to root your phone then. read carefully, and then read again before you attempt a root. once rooted, download root explorer or something similar and you should be able to follow the steps in that blog pretty easily
edit: you should be able to search through all the extension files stated (right from checking if your ROM is deodexed to modding the system/framework extensions) in that blog after you have rooted your phone via root explorer or similar
always always perform a nandroid backup before you start rooting your phone or installing the patch. you can learn more about nandroid backups and similar android terminology and rooting through these threads:

I installed Root explorer and before rooting I've explored the Framework. I found a framework with odex extension which make it not suitable for the method the guy mentioned.
So my question here, is deodexing the rom a possible thing for a basic user (I've read it's a complicated method), or do you advice me not to do it? -to be able to apply the files-
Thanks very much!.

to be very honest with you, here is my understanding on deodexing:
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
to be honest i know nothing about deodexing or how difficult it is to carry out. however, i did take the liberty of searching some up for you, and there is a tutorial on this forum about deodexing. its very complete and it should be able to help you.

Dear All,
I updated my gt540 to 2.3 but forgot to back up my original ROM.
So now I cannot unlock my phone, and the 3 company didn't assist
me to do so neither.
I have tried the ROM other than 1.6 in this website, but none of them work for me.
Is there anyone who knows how to unlock my gt540?
Is recovering back to original 1.6 the only to do that?
What if I cannot find the original 1.6 for Australia 3 company users?
crying..........
Need all your help please....
aya? Not even one can help me????
............
You only need to go back down to 2.1 (And any ROM will do, doesn't need to be the 3 ROM), that will enable you to enter the unlocking code.
I made the same mistake, went all the way up to 2.3.5 and then realized I hadn't keyed in the unlock code yet and had to re-flash with 2.1 to enter the code. (It's broken from 2.2+ as the ROMS are not issued by LG, and therefore missing the special codes to access these sections.)
ADDED: GAHHHH!!!! What CRAP!! I can't post in dev forums (which is where I should be) Due to my low post rate (Bless Modaco) and on top of that I can't even post links in here to actually provide answers!! HOW CRAP!!

Tool Kit
Android 2.1 Stock ROM - 3 Australia
Firstly download and extract the Tool Kit... Reboot your phone into fastboot mode and connect to the PC via USB.
Run the SwiftBootloaderBuilder.exe file from the zip (you will need admin privs for this)...
Set System size to 250, click "Save new bootloader" (then ok in the popup) and click "Flash new bootloader" (giving permission to the popups, and finally OK to the last).
Then click on "Reboot device" (again give permission to popups), and hold the "Home" key on your phone as it reboot to enter recovery mode.
Download the Android ROM from the link above and put it on your phone's SD card (you can download it directly there, by mounting the USB storage via "Mounts and Storage" in the recovery menu and then starting the download and using the USB as the saving location).
Use the recovery menu to select the "3stock.zip" file as the upgrade file and proceed. (This file is set to pre-wipe all existing data to prevent any clash).
Added: I've provided the 3 Stock ROM for you, as you've already mentioned that they are and will be your carrier. The first step in this method is VITAL as I believe the issue with the Telsra ROM is that the /system partition is too small to install fully, the steps above have been tested and I have personally verified they work. (Also note that while this is the Stock ROM in that it has all the settings and apps, I have modified the boot.img and included the Superuser.apk giving permanent root)
Dear Olite,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have unlocked my phone successfully by using a ROM in other forum.
Once again, I appreciate your patience and time
Cheers

Hmm, I kinda suspected as much when you never responded to my question on Skype...
Would have been nice if you had of at least mentioned that you had resolved this... a message via skype for example, could have saved myself an hour preparing this ROM.
Dear Olite ,
Sorry for wasting your precious time . I did login to skype to see whether you were there or not.
I noticed that you don't use Skype very often so I posted the message in this forum.
Let me to take this opportunity to appreciate your help and time.

You can follow other guides. I tried it once. It's pretty simple. There is a build.prop edit (I think it's setting ro.build.type to userdebug) and then enabling multi window in developer options.

It seemed stable enough but it's not very user friendly. It took a little while to figure out the controls. It's not very straightforward and a little confusing. There's no X or anything at the top of the window to close it which is weird and you can't swipe it away either. It has to been done in the task manager. And then I kept getting spammed in the notification bar by Motorola for feedback on Attentive display, which I was using by the way. If you're not using it you shouldn't have that problem and I think that's from making the build user debug. But it is experimental so I would expect some bugs or they would have put it the final version.
Hello,
I just received my Zenphone pro yesterday and i enabled Camera2API , i tried "MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova" and "GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950"
but the thing that confused me is that it shows that the camera app is already installed in my device (which is false) then the installation fails ( app can't install) so i thought that two apps can't have the same name.
So i wanted to remove the built in app camera (with powershell) but before doing anything that can ruin my phone i wanted you to give me your thoughts on this.

Bro, first of all tell whether your device is Oreo or pie. Anyway my device is non root pie and i have been using the following apks : " GoogleCamera_5.2.025-Final_fu24-18d1.apk " and " Gcam_6.2.024_Advanced_V2.0.190420.0415.apk ". These work flawlessly for me , so try it out.
