Arabic on Android – Take 2
Posted by saif in Uncategorized on 31/12/2009
I see that a lot of the visitors to my blog are interested in Arabic on Android and most of them go to my previous post entitled, rightfully, Arabic on Android.
So to follow-up I’ve been doing some search. I found a mod (KB7SQIs Magic Mod w/arabic v2.7.2) that is based on Sapphire HTC Arabic Etisalat 2.56.494.7. I’ve installed it on my G1 and happy to report that the Arabic support is pretty good, even though it is based on Android 1.5. Arabic text on the browser is displayed properly and is displayed well everywhere else. I’ve attached some photos of the mod in action.
If you want to learn more about this mod and all of the other available mods, go to AndroidSPIN and look under AndroidSPIN DB directly under the big Android.
Google Nexus One Android Phone

OK first there were rumours that Google will launch a phone, then those rumours died down when Google announced Android. However, Google did have a phone coming and its called the Nexus One. The first reviews looks very promising, maybe something to do with the horsepower on this thing; a rumoured 1Ghz Qualcomm QSD 8250. Also the screen is reported to be amazing, even better than that on the Droid. There is a lot of hype for this phone. You can read more about it here, here, and here. Now that I have too many options, I do not know what to pick.
