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.

Yes it does. Since I posted this, there has been some improvements regarding Arabic support on Android. I will post updates soon.
