How do I add fonts to system.sqsh ? - Touch HD Android Development

Hey all,
I put the 02.02.10 build on my sdcard, and it booted perfectly. I still had a problem reading SMS in my native language because there is no out-of-the-box support for my language.
On many threads that I found, people said they added few fonts to system.sqsh, I tried to use it as everyone explained( with squashfs-tools 3.1 because version 4 doesn't work with android ), but I'm stuck on the second boot screen( the nexus splash screen), it loops forever( gave it 25 minutes before I tried a second attempt).
I backed up the old system.sqsh so I can have a working android, but I need to find a way to add these fonts.
Thanks.

Please use the sticky 'General Android Questions' please

so the stuff your downloading doesnt sound like its made for the kaiser/vogue
in order to use that build on your phone you have to port it, how to do that is a question for a guy with a little more skill than me
Sticked in this forum there the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=680518 that simply guides you to install your preferred Android build in NAND i.e. fully replacing Windows Mobile.
Please, give your brain a rest and insert all the characters you eated... maybe someone will like to answer to you if he can understand your request without having to use a compressed slang dictionary

[Q] missing startup.txt, haret, etc..

Hi,
I searched the forums;
I searched the Internet - still no answer.
So please avoid comments like - try to seach harder.
I have already running HD2 with Froyo.
I got my friend's Raphael and downloaded the thing which is to be placed in andboot.
After that I tried to locate the haret and startup.txt. Yes, I went to the wiki, found the link for the startup.txt which lead me to an empty page.
So, please tell me where is the startup.txt for Raphael?
Is the hared from HD2 compatible with Raphpael?
Thank you
Hi orlean
I take it you unzipped the package you downloaded?
If so, take a look at the "\andboot\STARTUP CONFIG\"-folder. There you'll find several startup.txt's.
You should find haret itself already placed in the "\andboot\"-folder.
If this is not the case try downloading the following full bundle with everything you need included:

Note: You'll need a new data.img as this package is signed. Otherwise you'll get a bootloop
Also you'll need to select English IME if you want to type in english.

I'm not sure if starting a new thread is the right thing to do since there is a specific thread for Android related querries here.
Anyway, if you downloaded babijoee's XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.FRX01.17.09.10.UPDATE_PACKAGE.7z, then the the startup.txt is in the Startup Config folder. If your friends device is a raph100 then it's in the Raph folder.
Haret is in the root of the archive. It should be the same as HD2's but, would you mind uploading it here so we can test? I heard that pongster's ROM uses a newer version.
edit:
Beat me by two minutes Preggy, but different approach to the solution.

Swype files for XXJPK (swedish input)

(To Forum Admins: I've posted the very same thing this morning but it disappeared -- presumbably because of the DB crash. Sorry if this wasn't the case and/or this was better placed in the General Forum)
Hello all,
I need a bit of help
I've flashed and rooted the XXJPK as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790686
The problem I have is that after I rooted the phone I've done a not-so-smart thing
Without even thinking I replaced the "/system/app/Swype.apk" and "/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so" with the multi-language files from JP1 (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7412595&postcount=73)
To my unpleasant surprise now Swype crashes
Goes without saying that -- in good old hacking tradition -- I didn't backup the original files first
So, the cry for help is:
1) Can some kind soul post the original (above two) Swype files in the XXJPK so at least I have a functioning Swype (even if it doesn't have the swedish language....)
2) Even better -- if a fellow swede (or scandinavian... ) that managed to get the swedish input in Swype in XXJPK, can you please post the files (apk / library) you are using ?
Thanks a bunch in advance for the help !!!
Moving on....
I've managed to find a Swype WVGA version with support for the swedish language (google: Swype WVGA svenska)
I removed the previous existing Swype-relevant files:
/system/app/Swype.apk
/system/app/Swype.opex
/system/lib/libSwypeCore.so
After a reboot I managed to installed the .apk version above.
The showstopper now is that I cannot switch to this input method: When I hold on a text entry field and selecting "Input Method" only "Samsung Keyboard" shows up (but no Swype)
Any input ?
(And applogies to the forum admins as this become off-topic for ROM development -- however, the fact that "Swype" is missing from "input method" should be vaguley relevant . Thanks for understanding)

I use the the JP1 file. You find the link to download on Swedroid. Its in the Galaxy S forum.Some thread about Q&A. Good Luck
It worked for me with JPK several times
I found the answer in the mean time (posting here for the record):
Under: Settings -> Locale and text activate Swype; change the settings as desired (language, etc).
Switch to Swype via the "Input Method" radio button selection when inputing text (tap and hold on a text input box).
Hope this will help others as well
Well this guy, DocRambone, most surdenly knows how to do it. Cause he did in his modded ROM, the superlite version. I just checked Swype settings again and it has swedish, danish, norway, uk, us etc. - all the languages are there.
Try out his ROM - so far it's working really perfect

[FIX] Capacitive buttons, keylayout, and CAPITALIZED Scandis!

Hey everyone!
Didn't find thread anywhere about this (just a lot of mentions in other threads).
Problem is:
Any exotic DZ (Asian and Scandinavian reported) does not work properly without Sense.
Capacitive buttons vibrate normally when pressed but no action whatsoever. (not in the apps neither in launcher).
ROM's reported to have this problem (as far as I know):
HTC Vision stock (by Modaco) (I can confirm)
CM RC 6.1
And generally speaking any ROM without sense.
Could we gather all these problems here, with mention what version of DZ and which ROM?
Also if someone knows a way to get them working it would be appreciated to post it here so everyone would know.
UPDATE:
with more research I found this in VillainROM topic:
redglasses designed some help:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z13DE4QE
(link contains update-vision-keypad-for-desirez.zip)
LINK to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9353194#post9353194
(says that it is designed to work with CM)
Any one know more, does this work with any ROM?
UPDATE1:
The update-vision-keypad-for-desirez-signed.zip is compatible with any ROM! (thanks to redglasse for it)
This came to be pretty obvious after opening it and checking what it does
So just flash it after your new rom.
UPDATE2:
It really does not have anything to do with Sense. Only that the right keymap and keychar files are only shipped in roms with Sense!
(Asia and special European countries get only Sense versions)
Link to files pulled from Finnish (Scandinavian keymap) DZ:
DO NOT FLASH THE FILE BELOW, IT IS NOT IN FLASHABLE FORMAT!
http://www.filedropper.com/keyfilesfromscandidz
(I think that Redglasses is missing some keymaps, so every one of them is in the link above)
UPDATE 3
Seems to me that there is still problem that special Scandinavian characters type as CAPITALIZED every time. Is there any one out there that has some knowledge about them?
With Hexedit I can't locate the chars at keychar files. But in keylayout files they are named as func_number. So I presume that even when they are binded as some special characters they still work via some functions? Could anyone look into this or have some knowledge where those functions are?
UPDATE 4
Hey all!
HOW TO FIX YOUR CAP BUTTONS AND KEYLAYOUTS + CAPITALIZED SCANDIS!!!
In theory should work in every ROM.
1. Perform NANDROID backup! (I'm not responsible for any damaged devices etc blah blah...)
2. Download this fix from redglasses http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Z13DE4QE
3. Apply it from clockwork recovery
4. If you have capitalized Scandinavian keys!!! Download this file modded by me:
http://www.filedropper.com/vision-keypad-norkcm
5. Connect your device with usb debugging on
6. type this to cmd prompt:
Code:
adb remount
adb push \(PATH TO DOWNLOADED FILE HERE) /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin
7. reboot your device to remount system as it should be
8. profit
Thanks to Redglasses for the original fix, I would appreciate if someone backed my fixed vision-keypad-nor.kcm.bin into his update.zip
****LINK FIXED!

If the buttons vibrate, they are being picked up.
Can you do an 'adb logcat' and show what it says.
This should help the devs. And give me something to read.
All you need to do is plug your phone in, open a command prompt (have adb working) and type 'adb logcat'. Press a button, wait for a reaction and press CTRL-C (on the PC). Copy / Paste the log into a post. The shorter the better.
EDIT - that zip could be flashed on any ROM. Make a nandroid first though.
I guess that there is no need for logcat. Just that the roms missed the files in ZIP. Keymap and Keychar files in fact. I could post all of them somewhere (zip seemed to miss one or two keymaps).
This is just a bit specific issue, to my knowledge this is 2nd QWERTY Android phone getting worldwide attention, so community is not aware of the fact that all the roms need bit of a "compatibility" to include every phone.
So I got it working with that ZIP and G2 rom. (almost)
I just left wondering when the device chooses the keymap and keychar to use? Is it on the first boot up after the flash or every boot up? So if I make any changes are they applied in every boot up?
Anyways these should be bakes in to ROMS.
And why I said that it works almost is that my Å Ö Ä buttons always type with CAPITALS. No matter if i press shift or no. And I still can chose the special letters from a or o with long press and touchscreen. So is it problem with these files or somewhere else?
I'll upload my own files pushed from Scandinavian DZ when I find some free host
So in this link U can find the files pulled from my own DZ sense rom before any hassle:

I only have this problem when I run Cyanogenmod. LauncherPro+ works nicely on Sense ROMs. I'm guessing it's some keyboard layout thing that is different.
Sendt with a HW Keyboard from my Desire Z, woop!
Click to expand...

As I stated in the update it is due the versions of the roms, not really the sense itself. (the ROMs that include every keymap also include Sense )
TheDeadCpu said:
Well, I'm guessing (aka not sure) that taking the Scandinavian/UK keymap files and using them in the ROM would solve it.
Click to expand...

Instead of Scandinavian/UK just put every one of the files. They are 1Kb each and in total like 22Kb. See previous posts for a link to d/l my files
Yeah, seems to me that would be the case. (I'm almost 100% sure about that) Just make everyone use them!!!!
And make a guide/wiki article or something to be found via google by noobs like me

I just took them out because redglasses zip seemed to miss some so if ayone wanted to push my files into same zip.
Btw is there anyone out here who could help / knew why all the special chars in Scandinavian keyboard are capitalized?

I tried flashing this with CM7 build6, yet my buttons do not work even after doing this. This is on Gingerbread. Should I try flashing again?
Same problem as you ilifin. Flashed, but when pushing the capacative buttons the phone doesnt even vibrate.
All works for me if I mount /system in clockwork recovery before installing this patch. Some kind guy told that in one of parallel threads
Mounting /system in recovery before patching solved it. Thanks a bunch!
Does someone still have the fix as a zip? The megaupload no longer works and I desperately need it. Pretty Please?

[Tutorial] HEBREW on your Wildfire S

Hi,
I'm posting this here, mainly because it involves new ROM flashing.
I spent nearly a month "converting" my WFS..
So, I hope you'll find this helpful..
Follow the next steps:
1. First you have to unlock your bootloader
(Thanks to theq86 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432199)
2. Second install this stock ROM
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_ARA_2.26.415.2_Radio_47.23e.35.30 38H_7.57.39.10M_release_262618_signed.exe - 158.5 MB
It's an Arabic ROM and it supports fully English.
The big advantage of this ROM is that it has "Right to Left" correction built in.
(Thanks to kasra_Qeshm. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476701)
3. Next step is to install Hebrew keyboard. there are many options.. I personally prefer Keyboard from Android 2.3 (there's also a paid version)
And the Hebrew pack for it Here.
That's it!! You have Hebrew on your WFS!!
Some more goodies:
1. You might want to root you WFS - One Root is an easy and great tool for this task.
(Thanks to rezo609 - Original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678421)
2. "Bubble like" WildChild Messages app - This one is an add-on the require your phone to be rooted in order to flash it. You can download Here.
(Thanks to Tigger31337. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652973)
3. BEATS AUDIO
(Thanks to apherio. Original post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587286)
That's it for today.. Hope you'll enjoy!
One last thing.. I only gathered the information and made some tests to see it's all working.. but if you find some of this helpful I think it would be nice go to the original posts and press the "thanks" button..
Cheers!
Maoz.
great to see how it works.. I thought it required more than just flashing. Anyway it's goot that I've got the idea to use the Arabic Rom for our needs.
anyway now I just need to figure out how to add darktremor support so I can use this rom with A2SD GUI and not worry about memory.
btw, what is the memory usage that you see with this ROM?
After installation I had 119MB free internal memory
You might have a problem running the RUU*.exe file since the wildfire's CID is not compatible.
I've found that extracting the boot.img and system.img from the rom.zip (found in window user's temp dir) and flashing manually is a good option as well:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
good luck.
if anyone comes across the VMOBILE's rom (i've seen one with full hebrew) please shout out.
http://iandroid.co.il/forum/topic81886.html
I've got the vmobile rom. the problem is that it doesn't support A2SD and you ran out of space pretty quickly.
