I have an Incredible 2 on Froyo duly rooted. I want to add Devanagri support to this. I found one link http://chetangole.com/blog/2011/08/enabling-installing-hindi-marathi-unicode-fonts-on-android-mobile/ to this. However, installing ES File Explorer and enabling it with root explorer and mount file system, I am unable to find the ttf's given. I managed to download them onto my laptop. Now, I guess I have to copy them on to the /system/font directory. Except I am unable to locate this directory.
Any guidance will be most welcome.

@kshah; How did you expect Docomo label to be any better. The monkeys on the ground have the same DNA and may (and now will) be the same.

I am wondering whether BSNL disconnecting some of the service providers also had a role to play.
-
It was a BB server issue, so all must have been affected. Have some DoT babus joined RIM?

what will happen to 3g. some operators have payed in excess for some zones eg delhi mumbai they will go into lossTough luck for them. Same as the highways - they gave BOT/BOOT licenses for 30 years, and are now talking about actual expressways (i.e limited access, etc). Now what happens to the guy who took out a 30 year license based on some projection for the traffic.
Our mai baap government is very consistent, in that it is totally inconsistent.

Let me put it in a slightly different way:
The only operating systems worth looking at for a smartphone are, iOS, Blackberry and Android.
Of these Blackberry is QWERTY barring one or two models.
iOS is only touch and overhyped and overpriced in my view.
Android is essentially touch but there are some excellent models with both. I have a Samsung Galaxy i5510, with my wife, which has a slide out keyboard. I had a Samsung Epic 4G (CDMA) which had the same. However, after a couple of months I found that was never using the keypad - migration is pretty painless. In fact I am not even going to the horizontal format. I have since traded in the Epic 4G for an Incredible 2 which is pure touch. Beleive me the change is far more painless than we fear.
So you options are one of the BBs or a dual mode Android.

I hope they implement the 'One India' idea which has been on the cards soon. The basic benefit will be your number will be there for good. I do expect a small upward revision of the tariff. I agree with rajanmehta that a lot of it is likely to be just gas. This govt has been big on talk and poor on delivery. I expect the same here. However, since this is a discussion paper let us wait and see.
Mr Sibal has been one of the worst in being big on talk and poor on delivery. See the latest - he wants 100 new IITs. The existing ones are already facing a massive shortage of faculty. So where will he get the teachers - in trees (we know who lives there!). Also, brand dilution will be phenomenal. Now they are willing to provide a very lucrative deal for people from Old IITs to go to the newer ones for up to two years. He also wants an AIIMS & IIM in every state.
Apparently, no roaming etc. will lead to a revenue loss for all. I saw on the box that RCom may be the least sufferer, with the loss expected to be about 10 crores (not clear whether it is monthly or annual).

Very sad news. I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to hear him twice, the first when Chitra was still singing. It was a real treat both times.
May his soul rest in peace.

The best tribute!

PM sent. I think this is the same patch/files as in this http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1160745
Precisely. I had sent you the file. What is the current status-are you having SU access. Basically, AlpharevX or Revolutionary just give you s-off. So the rest of the stuff has to be installed separately. This is unlike z4root in Samsung.
Why I am asking is that I fixed Froyo S-off and you are on Gingerbread.

Now watch the fun. Apple seems to be running out of ideas with the iPhone 4S in place of the rumoured 5. Also, the only place where Apple now dominates is the iPad. Android has overtaken it in both sales, and free apps.
Now unfortunately this may be terminal. Steve Jobs rest in peace. May God be with you. I saw a new one (at least for me) iPhone being nicknamed Jesus Phone, for the evangelical passion it generated.

It will be Rs.3000 for us.
What is bugging me is that it is cloud based, so do we have the bandwidth for the students, and what will be the cost for it.

A genius. I will put him in the same category as Edison and Ford, though probably not da Vinci.
I really like tho tributes - one where there was a candle on iPad, and the second an Apple with Bye! engraved into it.
I have never used one of his products, but we miss you already.
-
Sorry folks. Could not resist this one
Rs.26, next we need Rs.32.
Fully, sarkari!!!

There is a group of files under rmk-root-setup-vivow in a zip file which should be installed.It is just under 4MB. If you PM me I cam e-mail this file to you. I had used this on my Inc-2 (froyo) after using AlphaRevX and had no problems.
-
@gjp; Winzip will not open the file, while Android will.

It is a very small time interval, and let us wait for the confirmation. If true then it will shake the basis of Physics as we know it. Obviously, the current model works, but then there has to be a higher model which has this one as an approximation. It will be like the early 1900's when Quantum and Relativity took over from Galilean/Newtonian Physics. It is not that Galileo was wrong, but it was only an approximation from the 'true' story. Now there may be another truer story.

Great. Two queries:
1. Does OMH mean support for RUIMs through the SIM slot?
2. Revolutionary only supports Gingerbread so what about us stuck on 2.2 Is the Gingerbread update available anywhere? No OTA seems to be there. I am on Froyo with S-off (AlphaRevX).
I must thank you one again for the lovely phone!

Congratulations. I think only one motoring forum has hit 50,000!

I bet these numbers are derived from the Parliament Cafeteria!

I remember advising my daughter to get the same for her father in law. He was fed up with his BB.He is definitely not tech savvy, and is very happy with the POP, esp since it takes RUIM's.

Let me add a few bits. Go back in history - one of the triggers of the MDA - ADA split was RCom, which MDA floated and wanted while ADA opposed. In the split it had to be RIL & the rest. SO ADA got RCom. Once they decided to scrap the no contest agreement the MDA into Telecom was always on the cards. He bought 4G, again a cause for further action. Now by all accounts amity has been restored. So the options are - ADA's RCom pairing with MDA for integrated services, MDA buying in a big way into RCom, or MDA buying out someone else or setting up his own shop. I will bet on a ADA-MDA tie up in some form.
Let is accept that the RCom backbone is world class.
Installing Devanagri On Android
in Android

As for the rendering problem I am not too surprised. Unfortunately, there and multiple fonts for Devanagri all following their own norms and may not be necessarily unicode. Even on MS Windows I have run into an interesting bug - My surname 'Ga with Small U matra', 'Half Pa', 'Ta with Aa matra' appears fine at smaller font sizes. Increase the font size and it changes to exchanging the Pa and the Ta! Very interesting and initially disturbing!.
So effectively I should manually copy the fonts into the correct directory and then do the job. I guess this is the hidden message. Thanks folks.
