I put a lot of effort on this patch, so if you enjoy it please consider donating!!
I'm happy to say that thanks to some great devs work (see credits at the bottom), the RTL patch for Arabic users have been improved a lot.
Great news!!!!!!
Thanks to the great work of "BrightIdea" at XDA, from now it's possible to patch every libwebcore.so file automatically.
The patch is included in the tool now so the generated zip will include a full Persian/Arabic RTLFix.
(Thanks to Madmack too, I stole some of his code for implementing it to my tool...)

[MOD] libwebcore.so (browser) universal arabic shaping patch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do it yourself!
Just finished editing the tool I use for compiling the RTL patch for MIUI use only.
Changelog:
MIUI-Arabic-RTL-T9-Script:
- Initial release
MIUI-Arabic-RTL-T9-Script-V2:
- Added Device prompt for correct "/system" mounting with the flashable ZIP. (Mounting "/system" manually for DHD, Desire Z and Nexus S no longer needed).
MIUI-Arabic-RTL-T9-Script-V2.1:
- Cleaned the patch a little bit by removing unnecessary stuff.
- Added new libwebcore.so that fixes Gmail, Browser, Google Maps, etc... (MANY thanks to NMH14 for finding it)
MIUI-Arabic-RTL-T9-Script-V3:
- Added Brightidea's libwebcore.so auto-patch, it will perfectly fix browser and gmail without any side effect!
- small changes to the code, if the tool is not able to patch the framework.jar properly it will close.
- Added support for Optimus 2x flashable zip
MIUI-RTL-T9-Script-V4:
*Important update!!
- After long time of reverse engineering, I have successfully merged MIUI with the most updated available patch. This should improve and fix some problems (like KB showing on long texts) and Arabic/Persian text mixed with English including signs reversing the English words, etc.
- Updated Brightidea's tool to most updated (0.7b).
- Added support for O2x. (this time for real
) Many thanks again to Brightidea, he's the one who found the solution!!!
- Small improvements to the code, and removed some unnecessary files from the script.
- Removed T9 question prompt, it will be installed by default. If you have Arabic/Persian contacts it will search for them, if not, it won't make any difference... Don't see any reason not to include it.
- You will be prompt to insert the rom version (ie. 1.9.2 or Galnet or whatever you like) before creating the zip, so no need to edit the zip name before moving it to the phone)
*Instructions have changed a little bit so please re-read them!! (pay attention to bold text)
MIUI-RTL-T9-Script-V4.1:
*Important update!!
* This update doesn't include new features I've been talking about, the code is not finished.
- Fixed Contacts FC by updating to latest T9 dialer, it includes now more than 15 languages!!
- Fixed dancing letters in whatsapp (thanks to madmack)
- Updated to latest webkit (browser) patch to support more devices (thanks to brightidea)
MIUI-RTL-T9-Script-V4.2:
- Fixed issue with message app not showing emojis.
MIUI-RTL-T9-Script-V5: (latest)
* This is a huge update and probably the last one I'll do (except for bug fixes)
- Merged Hebrew and Arabic-Persian into one patch.
- Added 2 new patching options: "On device" and "rom zip" (see instructions for details)
- Using new merged libs patcher by brightidea
- Added SGS2 to flashable RTL zip options.
Instructions:
0- Extract all the contents of MIUI-RTL-T9-Script-V5.zip to to your computer.
1- Run "Commands.exe"
2- Choose between Hebrew Or Arabic-Persian patch.
3- Choose Patching method (see details below).
4- Wait for the tool to finish working (do NOT close the CMD windows during the process)
Patching methods:
- On device:
- Will patch the installed MIUI rom on your device through ADB, pulling the files to be patched and pushing them back after patching them. Your device must be in recovery, connected to your computer through USB and you must have your device's ADB drivers installed.
Once finished just reboot and enjoy RTL.
-Manual:
- Place the "framework.jar" file from "/system/framework" within the rom's ZIP into "input" folder in the tool main folder.
- Place the "libandroid_runtime.so" and "libwebcore.so" files from "/system/lib" within the rom's ZIP into "input" folder in the tool main folder.
- Select you device for proper "/system" mounting with the flashable ZIP and then enter the MIUI version the patch is built for (if the version you are creating the patch for is "1.9.2" just type 1.9.2 and hit enter)
- Once done just take "miui-#.#.#_RTLFix.zip" from "generated" folder, put it in your SD card, flash it from recovery and enjoy your RTL!!!
-Rom zip:
* this method intends to patch the rom zip before flashing it from recovery so you'll flash it already RTL patched.
- Place your MIUI rom zip inside "input" folder and make sure is the only zip file in there.
- Once the script finished you will find the new MIUI rom zip RTL patched in generated folder, just copy it to your SD card, flash it normally from recovery and enjoy RTL.
*Arabic and Persian T9 Dialer!!!!
It will add the function of searching for Arabic or Persian characters (in addition to english) on dialer.
In order to activate it (after flashing it and booting the phone) change your locale to any other else, wait 1-2 mins, go to dilaer and it should work, then go back to your favorite locale.
