Arabic Fonts for Blackberry OS >= 4.5

Ali — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 12:58:11 +0000

I finally have done it, I have been resisting to do an OTA package for arabic support for a long time, but now, when I started getting lots of Blackberries from my friends that doesn’t have arabic support and they wanted arabic support (Reading only)… I thought it would be easier for me to give them a link to download the arabic fonts directly to their BB’s.. So, here is the link for everyone: http://www.almahdi.cc/bb/arabic.jad

First impressions with Blackberry Storm OS 5

Ali — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 16:49:57 +0000

The Startup of the device is slow, however, once it starts, the device is noticeably faster. I like the new animations when menus come up.. And Blackberry Messenger 5 really rocks..

Blackberry Arabic fonts

Ali — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 19:18:25 +0000

Last night I was trying to upgrade my Blackberry Curve (8320) firmware. I downloaded a firmware from the internet and upgraded the blackberry to OS 4.5.0.124.

The firmware is much better than the older firmware (T-Mobile) 4.5.0.82. Faster, and more free memory. However, the newer firmware didn’t have arabic fonts. I kept on searching the internet on how to add arabic fonts to the blackberry, until I found a way.

I installed the older firmware arabic fonts to the newer one. It worked perfectly!!
How to:

1. First download JL_Cmder
2. Use the javaloader.exe to load the arabic fonts to the blackberry.

javaloader -u load net_rim_font_semitic.cod

the file net_rim_font_semitic.cod is from my older firmware.
3. The blackberry will reboot!
Now you have arabic in your blackberry.
