Newbie here. I'm in Saudi Arabia and I just bought an i-Mate. Anyone knows how to remove the Arabic support? Much obliged for any help. Thanks. :D

Two options:

First option:
If you are not very familiar with all this stuff: just disable arabic from Settings - Arabic - Control. It will not be uninstalled, but it will not be active. You might want to also remove the today pligins, by unchecking them from: Settings- Today - Items.

Second option:
You can install another ROM from another non Arabic Provider. This will give you the benefit of all updated software in the T-Mobile extended ROM, which is not included in the Imate ROM. I recommend the latest T-Mobile, which can be found in this forum. Just look under the Forum "Upgrading It". This might void your warraty though.

hello,

I need the arabic support badly. and I have the xd1 not 2. but since you have 2, you can get the arabizer for free. so, if you like I can send the new wm03 rom or any other program you want if you give me the unlock code for arabizer.

Let me know.

Thanks,
Ahmad

Hi,

I have tested most Arabization packages. Imaginet's Pocket Arabizer Suite is the best.

The version that runs on XDA 1 needs an unlock code which is calculated based on your device's serial number, so you cannot just use another device's unlock code.

You may want to have a look at:

and the first company Arabizer does not work. the lebanese company did not send me the Arabizer yet, the rotoma did now work. the Imaginte is unacceptable at all.

BTW: wish MS starts supporting the Arabic language in their pocket pc. So, Imaginet learn a lesson in pricing. WindowsM cost less than 30$. Is it fair to sell the Arabizer for $44.

ANYone has the arabizer unlock code. want to trade? let me know. ask about any program you want.

Thank you Othan and all for your reply.
