Develop multi-language for Android

---

G1 is not support font for some country like Thai, Vietnam, Japan ...

I try to access to system of G1 (using some tutorial on this forum) and I replace old font by new font. But it's not work and my phone was bricked (now I can unbrick it) then I think we need flash or do something like that to cheat G1 system.

I try replace file on SDK 1.0 and it worked.

Please help us (Vietnamese, Japanese, ...) to surf web with our language

I will upload my font files I created and I hope some one can help us. Thank you very much.

You can test Vietnamese on this website : http://www.vnexpress.net

Could someone please take a look at this problem? I am in need for the G1 to display Vietnamese correctly. Please help and thank you in advance for your effort.

Hey,
I am not sure if this gonna help u but I hope so.
I had the same problem with hebrew and these are the steps I did in order to add hebrew support (only reading) on my G1.

1. Downloaded modifded RC30 that published here
2. Unpack it
3. Replace those files:
-DroidSans.ttf
-DroidSans-Bold.ttf
-DroidSansMono.ttf
with other fonts (in my case I took Arial fonts which is also ttf files and rename them to the names I wrote to u)
* All fonts are under /system/fonts/
4. Zip again to update.zip
5. SignAPK with the android source tesk_keys
6. update my device via recovery mode

You have all the info here in the forum on how to install modified recovery image and how to install new update file, the only thing you have to do is replace the fonts like I told u.

Good Luck...

You can go to http://www.ascendercorp.com/news/open-handset-alliance/
to find the supported language.
I do not know Vietnamese, but I found japanese and chinese language there
I added chinese language xml to many apps and compile them myself then added them to system/app directory, zip again to update.zip then update to my devices, and it works.

the app resource files do not contain other languages's xml files in the original release.

I can't check I'm using OTA RC30 Someone please check these ways, I will send you all file and link to check any language you want.

Send me an message : funbacon@yahoo.com or send me an email : funbacon@gmail.com

I haven't tried but what if we do it this way.

adb shell
su

cd /system/fonts
rm [font files name]
push [font files name] /system/fonts/[font files name]

If you remove your font file, you will not restore when your device has problem, you device will be bricked. Should use "mv" to move font file to anoher folder and test with new font.
But I think they will not work. You need add it to update.zip and use signapk, if the update work, you're succcess

Is there a way to replace the system apps of the official OTA RC30 such as alarmclock, settings etc. with a new one which is built out by ourselves?
