FarsiTel is a deeply localized version of Android for Iranian users, featuring Arabic and Persian text rendering (for version 2.2 of Android which does't support it), right-to-left user interface, Iranian calendar, Persian soft keyboard with type-ahead dictionary, Persian translation, and lots more.
You'll need to get familiar with Git and Repo.
To initialize your local repository using the FarsiTel trees, use a command like this:
repo init -u git://github.com/farsitel/android.git -b pashmak
Then to sync up:
repo sync

FarsiTel is a project owned by Supreme Council of Information and Communication Technology of Iran. It started in Autumn 2009 by Sharif FarsiWeb, Inc. and continued in a spinoff company called Iranian Congenial Mobile with the goal of making a modern, feature-rich, and easy-to-use smartphone operating system for Iranians. It comes with standard and slick implementation of Iranian locale including Perso-Arabic script, Persian user interface, Iranian calendar, and special configurations tailored for Iranians.
