Here's a new package that implements settings reset:

I guess next step would be translations.

I'll ad a button that toggles the translation.

Any other ideas regarding that ?

I'll also bundle the translations with the package itself. Problem is it will become 33 MBs

you may add only 3 languages translation support ( URDU ,English ,Persian ) OR you contact with MAG as he compiled the other Quran app for us .He might able to give you some help .

I tried searching for MAG in the users search but found nothing. I'm sorry but no idea who he is

Why would I add only 3 if I have more ?
I could simply package them in a separate -data package.

I just cannot host them anywhere. Licensing issues (DUH!) and I cannot afford a permanent place.

Not necessarily

I always forget the fact that /opt space is limited while MyDocs space is way bigger (Although I filled My MyDocs already

).

I'll try to make them downloadable from the application itself and they will be stored somewhere underneath MyDocs. If I fail then I'll simply package them somehow.

Wish me luck

Yes, storing them under MyDocs is the best option. And maybe the format should be simple like csv or something, so that we can use our own translations apart from the ones that you will package. A lot more flexibility this way IMO.

Also some more feature requests (sorry

): 1.Can u add a way to select page or ayah number instead of just Surah?
2. Would it be possible to have multiple fonts as although the current font is legible, i don't like it much. Or will there be compatibility problems with the text?

I'll reuse the translations from http://tanzil.net/trans/
The format will be the text format (one verse/aya per line).
I will have to hardcode a list of translations since I don't want to parse HTML in order to extract them.

I'll try to find a way to enable custom translations. Maybe not in the first release.

Please feel free to request features

I won't implement them now but I'll add them to the TODO list. One day they will be implemented

The option is easy but how can it be presented to the user ? Currently you get the lest of suras when you tap a button. How should the other options be presented ? We need to think perhaps.

Multiple fonts is possible but not all fonts will work with the text. However the default font can be one that is known to be fine.

i liked the transtech work,the day and night mode,options to hide/show translations etc .thats nice ,Msameer may be you can just finalize that rather than expanding it largely.Droid fonts look even better on N900.i am looking forward for the best out of best Quran app ever made on any phone in the world .
is there any way to add TAFSEER of quran in data packaging ?
it will make it complete in all means .i suppose
