I have problem using arabic font for iOS.
All fonts have the same render, and I am trying to test the workaround described here:
Custom Arabic font in iOS
The problem is that I don't know how to use it, I added ArabicShaping h and cpp files
The code compiles but I don't know what to do next.
Thanks in advance
i have created new class in objective c that do just this, it allow you to use custom fonts for arabic text in ios, check github

For complex font rendering, you'll need to use another library as iOS does not support it. One such library is available on github.
https://github.com/mta452/SheenFigure
It uses FreeType or CoreGraphics for glyph rendering. Currently it supports Arabic/Urdu fonts with complete substitution and positioning.

The options that the standard UI palette, while OK, are not the most exciting. Before I go down the road of making some custom elements, I was wondering if there exist any UI toolkits for Android that people knew about? Or are there any theme toolkits (besides the ones included with Android) that make things look better or add more functionality?
I am looking for something like Twitter's Bootstrap for Android. Or something like jQuery which makes JS better. Does such a thing or something similar exist for Android?
Yes, there are a lot of libraries available. Here are a few:

I basically want to convert a text file to pdf and other formats. So i am thinking if i could first convert it into LaTEX then i can go ahead with pdf conversion. Is this feasible?
As you say that you are familiar with LaTeX, you know that there are only a few special characters. Aside from that, regular text and LaTeX markup are very similar; it isn't until you get to formatting and figures and math that it gets more involved. That said it wouldn't take much to setup a few regular expressions to escape the incoming text.
Edit:
It would seem that someone has already made such a module: TeX::Encode. Going to try it out myself too. There is a dependency problem, you must manually install Test::Pod::Coverage before you can install TeX::Encode; yes that is embarrassing.

Of course, there is the UX Design Guidelines for Windows Phone, but it, obviously, miss tips for the window header design and behavior.
I suppose MS is not interested in Metro apps on classic desktop, but may be some one else (hello, Metrotwit team ;) ) wrote something interesting?
You could use the documentation of the Windows 8 Metro apps that is slowly appearing.
When looking at Zune etc. they decided to get rid of the standard chrome/borders and implemented their own.
The problem is that the desktop still requires a minimize/maximize, title while these do not exist on Metro.
My advise copy the ideas from Zune and others. I do not expect any official guidance on this soon.
Metro is also for Windows 8. Take a look at
8 traits of great Metro style apps

The question is how to tell system which UI (images , custom buttons, and so on) to show (i must to have some copies with a lower resolution and other copies with better resolution ), because iphone 3gs has a lower resolutin than iphone 4. UI of app should look greate on both devices. How can i get that ?
Read the Resource Programming Guide section called Specifying High-Resolution Images in iOS in the Image, Sound, and Video Resources chapter.
Your non-retina images should be called image.png (where image is your specific filename). The retina versions should be called image#2x.png. The correct one will automatically be selected.

Any suggestions for some sample source code for an iPhone application that shows Edit/Delete/Add rows for a UITableView?
The code would highlight the typical way to have a UITableView and then use editing mode and various methods (callbacks) to implement Edit/Delete/Add.
(have looked at the Apple examples and see things like Table View Suite, however it doesn't show what I'm after here.
The apple sample code has good examples for these, but here is a pretty detailed tutorial I found a while back that should get you headed in the right direction.
