Installing Thai (and probably other languages) language on HTC Hero

I've just got my hands on a HTC Hero (Orange UK) yesterday (from my brother, @smartbrain)
Here's how I was able to install Thai language fonts onto my Hero, step - by step.
It's really simple. (I did this on windows7 but xp should be the same)
1. First off, root your hero. I rooted my using Dayzee's instructions posted here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257045&postcount=38
2. After you have your hero rooted. It's time to install the fonts.
(The process here is based on a post (installing Thai fonts and keyboard on HTC magic) by YSR on pdamobiz http://www.pdamobiz.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=220019&PN=1 )
I believe the same process can be applied to other language fonts though I have not yet (and probably will never) test this.
To start the process you'll need these files.
DroidSansWithThaiFontsv1.zip These are the fonts we'll be using
3. Open up the command prompt (windows+R then type cmd and enter)
before installing the fonts you'll need to enable read/write in the system/fonts folder first.
go to the tools folder in your Android SDK using the command prompt (mine is J:\andsdk\tools)
type in
"adb shell"
"su" (If you've rooted your Hero properly, this should work and you should see a "#" sign, if it does not, go back to the rooting instruction by Dayzee in the link above.)
"mount -oremount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" this is to make the system folder read / writable, then lastly.
"chmod 777 system/fonts/" (Yes, this is brutal, Do not forget to re-chmod this to chmod 755 when you're done. )
and you should be ready.
4. It's now time to push in the fonts.
Unpack the font pack in the link provided into the \tools\ folder and start another command prompt
point your location to the tools folder in your sdk and type in
"adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf"
"adb push DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf"
"adb push DroidSerif-Regular.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSerif-Regular.ttf"
"adb push DroidSerif-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSerif-Bold.ttf"
"adb push DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf"
"adb push DroidSerif-Italic.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSerif-Italic.ttf"
5. Shutdown and re-boot your Hero. it should now be able to display Thai.
I haven't been able to get the keyboard to work yet. but I don't need that anyway so this is good enough for me.
Hope it helps.

edit: I forgot the mount -oremount... command line, fixed it, shpould be alright now. Have fun with your Hero!

Hey, good stuff. On a parallel track, do you know how I can create a font pack with Arabic fonts?

copy fonts
Hi,
I rooted as you told. But when I tried to push fonts , I faced problem. The problem is after rooting i see "#" in CMD which then I could not copy fonts. The massage is the font folder in /system/fonts has not unblocked. Any idea ?

Many thanks
Many many thanks. Very well explained and it does exactly what I want. I can now read messages from Thailand!

you dont need to install all the fonts, all you need is a custom CID/default.xml
for example on my custom rom I have over 30 languages! no fonts needed!
just an FYI

yea some fonts need change because the locale is not supportive to certain languages!
i have used CID all the time with filled fonts and works great, i dont use all languages so kinda hard to tell whats really supportive!

When I try to push the fonts in i get the following error msg "adb: not found.
I extracted the .zip file into c:\sdk\tools

how to make sure the browser is reading from /system/fonts directory?
Certain website says fonts to be copied to current user under .fonts directory.
Which is considered the user directory for android.

Hi there, This is for your information Highwind33
If you need you android to have Thai & English once you open it. there is a ROM which is for the East Asia and you could have it instead of what you are using now. i guess you are lucky.
I need Arabic & English and for the time being i find my Hero usless with out Arabic... I got tons of Test Messges and emails contacts in arabic.
this is the link. the one you need is:
SEA: (South East Asia)

Are there anyone that could re-up the DroidSansWithThaiFontsv1.zip-files?
The link is broke!

Non existing fonts directory
Hi, I'm a little stuck.
I have rooted my phone and can see the /system directory but I have no /system/fonts directory. I tried creating one and pushing all the fonts into it. I could see the fonts in the directory before I rebooted the phone.
Once rebooted I still could not see thai characters on thai web pages. I went back in and checked the fonts directory; it was no loger there.
Please let me know what else I need to do.
Kind regards,
AD
P.S. I just relized (4am) the mount command failed but cannot figure out why or what to do to make it work.

Canno mount
Hi,
I'm trying to install Thai fonts nd get the following error when trying to mount:

mount: mounting /dev/block/mtdblock3 on /system failed: Invalid argument

Any ideas where I'm going wrong??

Thanks for the info, I'm learning to read Thai (slowly) and this will help a lot
Does anyone know why I can't see Thai as on option in Google Translate on the phone, seems to have Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese etc but not Thai?

It's been over a year now, I'm currently running Villain6.2 ROM on my hero, with BFS. This method still works.

easiest way to install that fonts is to use android commander
no manual command input in console, just naviate to /system/fonts, delete existing files, copy new from ur computer, reboot and voila!
(eventually you can use for example SUFBS file manager, it have option to mount /system RW, and install that fonts without connecting to PC)
installing thai fonts was one of first things that i did after getting root (villain5.5), now i'm running villain6.2.1 and this method still works flawlessly.
also recommend free app from market "DroidSans Thai Keyboard", installs as additional keyboard witch both roman and thai chars, very nice design

Done similar via "Root Explorer"
Deleted old fonts,renamed new fonts to original and
copied from sdcard to the fonts folder at system!

Please help
when I type "chmod 777 system/fonts/"
I get the message "read only file"
Please let me know what I'm doing wrong

Busybox?

Root from Paul didn't come with one, and seeing as we can't get full system access (from what i understand) im curious as to if we can actually get busybox?
The 'busybox on rooted desire' on MoDaCo didn't help at all.
I've installed bb via Titanium, yet Metamorph didn't recognise it anywhere.
Cheers in advance for help

It comes with A2SD - but you can push the busybox binary to /system while the phone is in recovery.
If you pushed bb yourself, use its absolute path (like /data/somewhere/busybox) or put its path in your $PATH to get it going. I personally, without root, put busybox in the free-to-write-to /sqlite* directory (I put * because I don't recall the full name) and it runs fine from there.

do you have a link to apps2sd & does it come with a guide as to how to install it so noobs can understand?

A2SD was taken down "temporarily".

Bare in mind I think it was taken down as (for some) it 'removed root' and also got some phones stuck in a reboot loop. Bad times.

By what I've read, though, Metamorph dies on its arse because of the lack of system rw access.

Install Titanium. Then get your phone into recovery using Paul's Linux ISO. In the Linux console (i.e. where you'll have typed ./step2.sh to get the recovery up), you should be able to do adb shell from there. Then follow my instructions from mount /system onwards.

I didn't follow Pauls guide as I only have access to Windows, so I used the lanarchy guide, which I think might have been taken from The Unlockr.
Maybe fill me in w/ bb according to that?

i am a bit ashamed to ask this but:
....
* boot into recovery
* adb shell from my Mac
* mount /system
....
boot into recovery -> ok
adb shell from mac.. ok? hm, i have macos as a seperate installation and i used it for rooting, so there is a pushfiles folder with recovery-mac.sh.. sudo ./recovery-mac.sh?
How do i mount /system then? Don't know where to navigate to find access to the sdcard . @volumes there are only my harddrive partitions, can't see the sdcard?
No idea, sorry, first time (ok, second time after root) i get in touch with adb, mac, sudo wtf?

Ok, all you need is some kind of environment where adb actually works.
Get your phone into recovery (the green menu screen) using whatever means or method you have.
Then, if you have Windows, you'll need the Android SDK. Ditto on a Mac. Anything with adb so that you can plug your device into your computer, do adb shell, and get a shell window up. Then
mount /system
onwards.
The key is that your phone needs to be in recovery before you do adb shell, otherwise you have no r/w access to /system.

ah! ok, perfect. The android sdk is on my windows computer, the push-files on my mac, that's the problem
thanks for your help!
the recovery is not the problem, but mount /system did nothing because there is no android sdk on my mac.. got it now i think.

mount system -> ok
copy busybok -> ok
when i try to install i get dozens of lines with "no such file or directory".
reboot -> phone not booting, hangs when displaying the HTC Logo omg
flash rom again?

same problem as watercool. Loads of "No such file or directory" messages.
But, I rebooted and it went through as normal, booted the OS fine.

hm, dont want to wipe again, pff..
flashed AhmgskMod mod again without wiping, everything ok now

Sounds like you missed the . off of the end of the
./busybox --install -s .
command.
You need that . if you're following my instructions.

ok, i did it with and without the "."
With the dot there was no response (so probably it installed correctly?).
Anyway it didn't boot afterwards. i will try it again
edit: ok, tried again and my phone stucks @ htc screen
i think busybox is installed but for some reason it doesn't boot (using the ahmgsk mod)
anyway, thanks for your kind help!

How to install a custom font on desire?

Once you a custom rom installed is it possible to install a custom font to your phone?
I've been able to change all my icons with bettercut just want to change the system font now
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Me too please. I would love to change my system fonts. Just a little bigger

If you are rooted, you can do this if you are familiar with adb commands. The commands would be something similar to this and would be executed while in Recovery Mode with USB connected:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/fonts/(font name)
adb push (font name) /system/fonts
adb shell remount
adb shell reboot

If you are running Windows, you need to first make sure that you have the Windows Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) downloaded and extracted to your computer, use the following path to extract it: C:\android-sdk-windows.
Next, download and place the selected font files to the root of your C: (e.g. C:\[font name])
Then, switch off your phone and boot to Recovery Mode. Once booted into Recovery Mode, first perform a Nandroid backup which you can restore afterwards if anything happens to go wrong. Now, while still in Recovery Mode, open a separate command-line window and then type: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools, press enter.
Now type the following commands in adb and hit enter afterwards to execute:
adb shell mount /system
adb shell rm /system/fonts/[font name]
adb push [font name] /system/fonts
adb shell remount
adb shell reboot
The default system fonts that the Desire uses are:
DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
DroidSansMono.ttf
etc. I had some other font (I forget, let's say Helvetica for fun):
Helvetica.ttf
HelveticaBold.ttf
HelveticaMono.ttf
If you rename the Helveticas into the DroidSans names, back up the old fonts somewhere else, and then put your renamed fonts in the /system/fonts folder, it will work. Since we don't have /system write access while in the device, we can't tell Android to look at our different fonts while running - we just have to replace what's there.
I have attached a zip with random the font files I renamed. The non-mono fonts came from a font called Comfortaa; the mono is Vera Sans Mono. These are plug-and-play - back up your old versions of DroidSans.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf and DroidSansMono.ttf and push these to your /system/fonts folder in their place. Replacing DroidSans.ttf pretty much updates everything in the system.

Thanks Masdroid

No worries bud.

What do you mean open a separate command line window, open it where?
And do you know any sites or anything which convert fonts to .ttf?

While your phone is connected via USB and in Recovery Mode (green and black menu), simply open up another command prompt window (Start > Run > type cmd, press Ok). Access adb and execute commands.
Nope, not aware of any sites that convert fonts to .ttf - try Google or Bing

Hi ! I was trying to change the lockscreen font ( Clockopia.tff ) with Root Explorer ( just renamed the old one and placed another font there ( named Clockopia.tff ofc )), but it resulted in bootloop. So what am I missing here?
A little help would be apreciated! Thought I'd ask in this thread and not create a new one.
EDIT: Found a little program called Type Fresh, installed it to my Desire and changed the font. I was afraid the font was some way corrupted, but I guess not.

[Q] Hulu working on EVO stock-rooted Froyo 2.2?

Isn't Hulu supposed to be playable on Froyo? Doesn't seem to work on the Evo with netarchy's Froyo stock-rooted ROM. I've been researching this topic for a fix, and I've seen something done for Nexus One and CM6 users but I don't want to loose 4G. I thought being able to watch Hulu was one of the most hyped about features of having Froyo.

You need a hacked version of Flash, and to change your UAString to Desktop. Search in the Nexus One forum for details.

Engadget has a walkthrough for the Nexus One. All but actually playing a video worked great on my Evo running CM6 :/. maybe you will have more luck on the Sense browser..

Here's another link I found for the Nexus One: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688054
I tried installing the apk but it would not not install.

1) Uninstall Flash from the Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All menu.
2) Install the hacked Nexus One version of Flash with Hulu support, via ADB.
3) Open any page in your browser then go to the url "about:debug" (without the quotes) and then go to Menu>Settings. Scroll all the way down to the bottom, select UAString, and change from Android to Desktop.
4) Go to http://www.hulu.com/
5) Enjoy.

The leaked Sense 2.2 ROM has Flash 10.1 installed from the get-go, so you can't uninstall it in a traditional way. If you go into /system/app/ there is install_flash_player.apk. I renamed it "install_flash_player.apkz" (this makes it so Android doesn't recognize it, pretty much the same as just deleting it) so I could see what that would change. It doesn't remove Flash 10.1 from Menu > Settings > Applications, but it did stop Flash from loading in the browser. You could try that, but I don't know how far it'd get you.

I tried that way. Still get the can't install error. Flash
Uninstall is greyed out in stock 2.2 with root.

if you're rooted, use adb, shell in, navigate to where the apk is in system/app, rm it, then navigate to the data/data/ folder that the data is stored, rm that too. reboot. install the modified flash apk.
if you know part of the file name (adobe, or flash, or whatever), use adb shell, then
find -name "*partofthenameyouknow*.*"
it'll spit out the locations of the apk, data, and cache. then just rm -rf all those files. reboot. install the modified flash apk

Edit: I forgot the about:debug command. Although, I did that, it still didnt work. I then downloaded the Hulu app made by someone, and
whala, Hulu is working.

Actually, not a PIA at all.
Just fyi, I didnt use any ADB commands, just did it all on the phone using SUFBS.
1> Simply what was mentioned above. Remove the Adobe Flash stuff from the System/app and Data/Data area.
- I did this by renaming the directories using SUFBS on my phone.
2> Reboot Phone.
3> Install the Modified Flash (Found in the Nexus Thread)
- Once again, I just downloaded on the phone and used SUFBS to install.
4> Reboot Phone
5> Go to Browser, type about:debug and GO. Then go to Settings and down at the bottom, change the UAString to Desktop.
6> Whala.

If you still havent got it to work,grab Android Mate from the market and use that to install the hacked flash version.It will ask if you want to replace the original flash so there is no need to uninstall it first.Then do the about:bug from your browser and you'll be good to go.

Thanks. I was 99% sure, but I wanted confirmation before I wasted any of my time.
I am an Unrevoked3 user (I know, I know. No lectures please), and was pretty pissed about this. Then I discovered that NAND is unlocked when I'm in the ClockworkMod recovery. So I booted into recovery and did the following on my PC:
Code:
adb shell
mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
mount -o rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /data
cd /system
mv install_flash_player.apk install_flash_player.ap_
cd lib
mv libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.s_
cd /data/data
rm -r com.adobe.flashplayer
cd com.android.browser/app_plugins/
rm -r com.adobe.flashplayer
umount /system
umount /data
exit
adb reboot
Then I installed the hacked APK, did the UA fix and was rockin and rollin.
Note the remount flag is not necessary above, because the partitions are not already mounted. In fact, if you try to use the remount flag, it will fail. I have .tar backups of the two directories deleted, if anyone by chance needs them to restore.

tutos are available on this forum (wp_mod.ko file to push in system/lib/modules, and run a command on the phone with a terminal app)
#su
insmod system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
if im speaking chinese, dont try
but as you tried to change partitions before having write protection removed, you wont be able to do it without a restart until you reflash your rom (clean install)

Excuse me, I hope if they do not understand you, and my heartfelt thanks for the quick feedback if possible, a simple explanation for the action steps

i think you shouldn't try to do it...
a bad understanding of a Tutorial, and you could make your phone bug.

Follow These Steps....

Quoted from Step 2 Here,

2. Hopefully you were able to successfully install custom recovery and root.
Now this part is a bit tricky. Even with root HTC is stopping us from writing to system. For this we need to apply the wp_mod.ko module.
Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2707378
Copy this file to the root of your internal storage.
Now download Terminal Emulator from play store, run it and enter the following commands (you only need to do this once):
su
insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko
Once you do this go into a root explorer app and mount /system as R/W. Copy the wp_mod.ko file to /system/lib/modules
Now go to /system/etc and find install-recovery.sh. Open it with a text editor and add a new line at the end with the following:
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
Reboot! If all went well the wp_mod module will run at boot every time so you won't have to do it manually each time!
Congratulations, you now have a fully rooted Desire 816!
