Notes

The regional language is Arabic, making this bootleg partially Arabic
There are many Android XP leftovers, for example in SVCPACK\SPEED UP.EXE you can see Android XP-related images. The ISO file structure is exactly the same, in fact, this bootleg was made 2 weeks after Android XP released, making this one a fork of Android XP. Along with that, the author got someone else to work with them on this bootleg, while they made Android XP themselves
