Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread

Rooting your android devices offers many benefits and comes highly recommended for enabling custom hacks and tweaks, Google Android 2.3.3 does not support non-english UTF-8 scripts like Devanagari by default but luckily if you rooted your device we can simply hack the operating-system to install custom fonts and enable display of languages like Hindi in default system applications.

Posted below are the download links and step-by-step instructions how to enable Hindi display support on Google Android 2.3.3.

Hindi In Default Android eMail App

Steps to install custom fonts on your Google Android device :

  1. For this hack to work you must have a rooted android device, if not, follow Android rooting guides for your device at - http://www.megaleecher.net/taxonomy/term/11019.
  2. Download and install any root file-explorer on your device (enabling you to access core system files and replace them eg. root explorer) - https://market.android.com/search?q=Root+Explorer&so=1&c=apps
  3. Download and save these hindi font files to your device - DroidHindi.ttf and DroidSansFallback.ttf.
  4. Now copy these two font files to /system/fonts/ on your android device using root file-explorer, replace any file if asked for.
  5. Reboot your android device and now Hindi font display should be working as expected on native browser and other native applications.

Instructions are provided above for Hindi font support, you can also activate Gujarati font support just by replacing/adding Gujarati font.

After I did this hack, yes the hindi/devanagari scripts show fine but the chinese/korean/japanese characters do not show anymore from websites like http://jp.msn.com or in apps with any east-asian characters. I need the android stock DroidSansFallback.ttf again.

Hello friend.. the android font file you needed is available on below provided weblink.

Does rooting and replacing the font files, completely change the display which is normally in English ? Or does it enable us to toggle from English to Hindi for typing only ? I don't want to lose the English menu.

Submitted by Deepesh Agarwal on Mon, 04/15/2013 - 22:31

It only enables you to view content in Hindi written in Devanagari script. This would not change the English user interface display.
