GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
SITUATION: Letters appear disconnected in browser, gmail and sometimes in 
texting, and often the orientation is reversed especially when using Arab/Farsi 
and Latin character combinations.

CONTRAST: Unlike full Arab/Farsi support in my Egypt-based Milestone 2.1 Eclair 
version (Egypt, full Arabic Support, but not localised, including HW Keyboard 
with Arabic Characters as Secondary).

TEMPORARY SOLUTION: installed Mirsal and Arabic Keyboard (for SMSing, but 
orientation issues remain, and font is horrible) + installed Persian Browser 
(very limited, loads page with letters disconnected and then connects them in 
front of you) + using MailDroid (renders Arabic emails well, unlike K9, Android 
Email, Gmail, and others)

SOLUTION: somehow porting libs from Arabised (Or Arab/Farsi supported Eclair), 
HTC Desire Z, Desire and Desire HD have fully Arabised and even localised Froyo 
ROMs, or getting the libs somehow from 2.3 SDK/ROMs as some appear to have done.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT WORK, FOR ALL OF US!

@Uisoftware: this does not work with gmail as well? THANK YOU for your help by 
the way. Also, if you can explain the best method to change the permissions 
(very limited experience in Android modding for me) that would be great.

If you are certain of the solution, can we forward the .lib to file to Kabaldan 
to integrate it into the next CM build?

Again, THANK YOU!

I Do it :)

Method 1 (Root Explorer)

1. Copy the downloaded libwebcore.so to your SD card.
2. Use the task manager to close any browsers and email clients you have open. 
This probably isn't necessary, but I did it just in case.
3. Copy /system/lib/libwebcore.so to your SD card as a backup in case you want 
to revert.
4. Copy the new libwebcore.so to /system/lib/
5. Set the permissions of the file to rw-r--r--
6. Reboot and enjoy!

Method 2 (ADB) thanks to Leandros_Ger

$ adb shell
$ su 
# cd /sdcard
# mkdir BrowserFix
# exit
# adb push libwebcore.so /sdcard/BrowserFix
# adb shell
# su
# cd /sdcard/BrowserFix
# mkdir BackUp
# cp /system/lib/libwebcore.so /sdcard/BrowserFix/BackUp
# cp -f /sdcard/BrowserFix/libwebcore.so /system/lib
# chmod 644 /system/lib/libwebcore.so
# reboot

@Abauomy: Did it work? Does it work in Gmail too?

More importantly, after using it for a while, installing apps, market, 
browsing, settings and playing around the phone, does everything work FINE?

GREAT JOB Mate! howwa dah el kalam :) What about orientation, right to left vs 
left to right, and mixing the two characters together?

As for the HW Keyboard, check this:
http://modmymobile.com/forums/554-motorola-milestone-development/555470-howto-sw
itch-keyboard-layout-azerty-qwerty-etc.html

however it needs files from the originally Arabised Eclair Rom's /usr folder, 
special ones in particular. And read it well because they highlight DROID vs 
MILESTONE differences. I have the /usr files from my 2.1 Egyptian Milestone, 
which had functioning hw keyboard and I have them here with me.

I just posted on the forums for Kabaldan to check this thread in case this 
finally fixed something.

I CONFIRM! ISSUE is SOLVED for the SOFT KEYBOARD!

Using Root Explorer, I did exactly the solution above using the lib above and 
the instructions and I confirm the web and gmail! :)

after update CM today you must copy the so file again

Original comment by abau...@gmail.com on 12 Dec 2010 at 9:11

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Is there any way to have this included in each CM6 release? To have the letters 
connect AND to have the Arabic keyboard (slide out) and soft keyboard in Arabic 
available on those "Arabia" devices?

What is the origin of the linked libwebcore.so?
The native support for switching the HW keyboard layout is planned.

Many steps have been already taken. Still a work in progress.
But only specific issue reports may help. Closing.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
So the next version of CM6 will have Arabic support? Perhaps integrated from 
the new official Arab ROM?

Only CM7 is under active development.
