    If your phone is rooted then You can install sinhala fonts on your phone through out the whole system. Facebook Gmail Any web browser even the freakin contact book will display Sinahala :lol:
    I have tried it on few phones but I cant see why I wont work any android above V 1.6.

    First of all credit goes to Mr. Kalinga

    If you follow that link he'll explin how to do it but it is bit long and you have to mess around with ADB shell. I know some ppl dont know and some really dont like Shell commands so I found a way to do it with less effort heres what you need to do.

    1. Download Root explorer Click Here
    2. Download Sinhala font pack Click Here

    3. Unzip the DroidSansFallback.zip and copy the font file to your SD card
    4. Install root explorer and run it (give super user permission if you havent before)
    5. Navigate to the font file via root explorer and hit the menu button then hit copy.
    6. Now navigate to the System/Fonts folder and click [mount R/W] button on top right hand corner which will give write permission on this folder.
    7. OK after that paste the file it'll replace the stock Fonts file.
    8. Reboot the Phone and you have Sinahala fonts through out the whole system now.
    9. Now enjoy the Elakiri App :lol:

    Ok Daalama balanna one..onna mama download karanawwoooo..Habai mata sure na phn 1 1.3da kiyala :(

    I mentioned 1.6 because I am not sure whether the Root Explorer supports anything below 1.6. Whats your phone and do you know how to check the version?
