hi,
is there a way to make android 2.3.6 official release support Arabic language ?
pls' help .

[hfbvm]

Get an app keyboard from app market i guess. Or if you have a nandroid backup of 2.2 froyo that came pre installed i could try something. I didnt make a nandroid backup hence i dont have it and there is no way to revert to it. Morever i dont use arabic much so it was useless to me anyway.

There won't be official arabic for acer smartphones; they don't sell them in Middle-east.

If you need arabic, I can help you out. I arabized my stock 2.3.6

[hfbvm]

Acer sell phones in the middle east. How else would one person buy it if he lives there. I remember perfectly that my keyboard had arabic support in english mode in 2.2 Froyo.

They don't offer smartphones on their Middle-east site. I am sure waj911 didn't buy his phone from there. Anyway...

Do you have rooted your phone, recovery installed and made a backup?

Maybe I was wrong by saying that they are not selling smartphones, but still they don't support native Arabic UI firmware! You can't download firmware from their UAE site like you can from European sites. So you got arabized your 2.3.6?

[hfbvm]

I dont use arabic. 2.2.2 had support arabic. But it wasnt like highly developed. Every word was separate. Just like english. Arabic is a complex language. Maybe a port from any other device Could have support.

All such languages were put under GEN3. And GEN3 never got any updates. So migrating to GEN1 is compulsory.

With this guide I arabized 2.3.6

But, I say again: root phone, install recovery and don't try anything before making a backup.

If you have a bootloop now, but still can go in recovery mode, you can mount system partition and push that file with adb while in recovery mode

you shouldn't need a backup for now, only push that file (and all other files in output folder).

Edit... you need android-sdk for this, if you haven't yet.
