This is a project of CRBLP BRAC University Dhaka Bangladesh.
The purpose of this project is to make Android 2.2 (Froyo) render Bangla properly.
Please do not try to apply this patch for any version of Android other than 2.2 (FROYO). We will try to give support to 2.3 (GINGERBREAD) as soon as possible.
Installing Libraries and Fonts:
NOTE: For this process to work you will need to ROOT your Android Device. If you do not know what ROOT means do not download. Rooting purchased device could potentially void the warranty do at your own risk.

অলরেডি আমি Uberoid v11 দিয়ে ফ্ল্যাশ করে আপনাদের ইন্সট্রাকশন মত কাজ করে বাংলা দেখছি।
অনেক অনেক ধন্যবাদ আপনাদের।
কিন্তু আমার প্রথম আলো পেজে গেলে লোগো লোড হয় না। লেখাগুলো আসে শুধু।

You can also try Uberoid for the same device. Gives you more control with optimized rom. It increased our device battery time.
search for more details.

I didn’t think my Galaxy Tab (upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6) will face a problem with this. But it did. It had boot-up problem. I had to flash the ROM. The process mentioned here is exclusively for 2.2 Froyo. Gingerbread users don’t try it.
But hundreds of congrats to you for making it possible in Froyo. Looking forward to Bangla in Gingerbread….or is it out already????

Hi, I am trying this process on a Samsung Galaxy POP S5570 which is running Android 2.2.1
All the files have been copied to specified location and the permissions are set (RW for Owner, and only R for everyone else)
Upon reboot, it loads up to the last screen before OS home screen is shown, and keeps on trying to load at that point.
Ofcourse, if I restore the libskia.so and libskiagl.so files to original Samsung files, then system is back to its original working state.
It seems that few of you guys have already successfully done this. Any idea where the problem might be?
