Go into the S2u2 folder and look at the image files.
get the image u want to replace it with.. and rename the file the exact name as the original file. for best results u also have to resize the image to the size of ur screen.
hope that helps

I figured it might be something like that right after I posted that thread. Thanks for the confirmation!!

To be honest I have no idea, I stumbled upon that flag once in reshack but didn't feel the urge to edit it and didn't take note of which file it was in. Seek and you will find. Nice job on a boring rainy day
well than..i will have to start looking than
extract the file shell32.exe from rom (or copy it from the windows folder of your device), there is the flag icon included, replace it with our own icon (resolution 21 x 18 pixels) and save the file with a new filename. copy it to your device in windows folder and change the registry settings "HKLM\init\Launch50" to the new filename. restart your device.
i hope that helps
thanx will try

G1 FONTS! Post them here!!!!

Hey guys, since u all can see that the "original fonts" of G1 is same as other phone and surely "boring". So i think it will be unique if G1 has the other kind of fonts. So here where mine come from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480328
Well because i dont know how to take out the front so just download the theme down and install it. After than u can install a different theme over it and the fonts will be there still.
Or u can try to delete the framework and app inside the folder and install it (dunno if it will work because i never try it)
And if anyone else got any kind of fonts that can install in G1 please post it here for sharing.
Here below is some pic about my fonts:
couldn't any font be put on the G1? i can't see why only some would work.
Not sure of compatibility but i know that some fonts dont look right if they are too small. One example i can think of is segoe ui. it is a very nice font but doesnt look right below 8.
Font doesnt bother me, it is very legible and clean and matches most themes.
does anyone know how to change the font? and if o does anyone know where i can get a good font? i have 1.42 rc33
If I can figure it out I really want to make just straight Font update.zip files so that people could just download the font that they want install it over the theme that they have and presto!! There it is! If anyone wants to help me figure this out Private message me! I really want so different fonts on my phone too! Cheers!
Hm........if u read my first post, i did show u how to install the fonts i have above, but that all i know lol. Sorry i cant help
I've done that too. What I really want to do is just make a bunch of update files that only contain the font to be updated. That way it doesn't take long to update and it would be a rather small file that people could hopefully swap out even if they have apps installed and such as opposed to having to having a fresh install of RC33...
It took me about a week just to get the nuts to root my phone to begin with and I'm down to 1 so I don't even have a test phone to mess up.
I'm going to read over the theme creation threads a few more times and see if I can do it alone. I will post my results to you sir!
Yea good luck to u lol.
As for me, everytime i get the gut to try to learn how to make a theme by myself. A big headache hit me so i stopped lol.
And yea i didnt got the gut to root my phone either into i give my phone to a friend to make it can read vietnamese (G1 cant read some words of Vietnamese). And when he return it too me, he told me my phone is rooted lol i still dont know should i say thanks to him or f*** him
with the guicci theme the creator added his own font that you apply as update.zip i think its old english bt its really hard to read idk how he created it tho but this is wat u mean bt an update.zip font right? i would really like to see fonts like that and i kno it can b done i just wish i knew how to do it
i wonder how is done here is a post where it has only font update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468436

Thank you!
Question though. Can I just replace the TT font files with a different set of them and re zip it? That sounds way to easy but I hope so. lol
I'm wondering how you can include different fonts in the update...
when I view the files in a font update.zip i can see all the .ttf files but I don't know which ones are used under what circumstances. I'd like to not have the same font for everything as that kinda sucks...

Yea I was thinking the same thing, what font is for what? Do we just change the name of the font & replace it in the update.zip & resign? Or is there more to it?

what you need to do is sign your update. Also make sure it's a true type font, I don't think it will work otherwise.

Thank you for the signing comment I would have forgot to do that and just started getting pissed because it wouldn't work. I think that renaming the font to the ones in the file should work. I will try this and get back to everyone here. I really want this to work...
Also if I do get this to work than I will start making a bunch of random font update files and start a thread for it! Cheers!
G1 fonts! Post it here.
Dont start a new thread, that is what this thread is for, just post them here.
I am sure this will work, just make sure the font is True Type.
Don't you need an install script for it to know where to copy the file(s)? You can't just have a file called update.zip with some files inside of it and expect it to know what to do with them. There would need to be a update-script file located in the META-INF/com/google/android directory of your update.zip. It would need to have a line such as:
copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
and the fonts would need to be located in system/fonts of your update.zip. So your update.zip would look like what I am going to attach, however with fonts. You could probably just put them into my attached empty zip template, resign the zip and be good to go. I put the original fonts in it just so I could test sign it and verify the manifest is creating properly.
You can download it here:
Fonts Update
This should work. Not sure if you had an install-script in your file, but I am assuming you did not.

There are two files in frame-work-res.apk/assets/images called android-logo-mask.png and android-logo-shine.png. These are what you play with.

I would use the one from your current rom, then put your images but keep them the same name as the ones in the zip, I think that the problem lies in the .DS_Store and the desc.txt. They are probably looking for specific images with specific names. The images need to be 320x480
tried this to no avail. replaced the images with mine in the same size and with the same names still no go. these are the images i want to use http://www.4shared.com/file/189292613/ebadfd8d/image.html if anyone could help please. would love to be able to just flash an update to any eclair rom. i am currently running the eclairxrom.
Try putting this in /system/media
http://www.4shared.com/file/189414303/373ff927/bootanimation.html
Thanks for your help but still just a black screen. Can't figure out what I am missing. There has got to be something I am not doing somewhere.

System > Wallpaper > ???

When I select my custom wallpaper, I don't want to go through the resizing process over and over again. Is there a way I can copy the wallpapers I want to the system directory in order to use the system wallpaper app? I tried searching for this topic, but couldn't find anything like it. Thanks for any assistance with this issue.
*Update*I found my answer on another website:
"They are not in a directory.. they are on the Launcher.apk under \res\drawable
I know you can replace the wallpapers there with your own ( I've done this before) but I'm not sure If you'll be able to add more wallpapers to the gallery without replacing the default ones. "
To MOD: Please delete this thread!!! Thanks!!!

It would probably be easier if you checked out on the market Wallpaper Set and Save.

The wallpapers are in the Launcher.apk file.
Replace as necessary and re-sign the apk file.
You will find wallpapers that are in there twice they are in fact the wallpaper itself and a thumbnail (with "small" added onto the name).

I've got that much from searching around. Is it just too in depth that theres not a guide for it? Sorry Im a noob to android.
The fact that you have to replace them is what gets me, is it too hard to write new ones into the .apk?
And even if (heres the noob Q) how would I pull apart the .apk, and then resign it?

Wow you are a noob. LOL.
To open the apk just use winrar or similar. Extract it like you would a zip file but don't delete anything. Now say you are wanting to replace Wallpaper1.jpeg, Wallpaper2.jpeg, Wallpaper3.jpeg and Wallpaper4.jpeg you only need to replace those 4 and the corresponding _small.jpeg file (example: Wallpaper1_small.jpeg) with your appropriately named replacements (customized Wallpaper1.jpeg and Wallpaper1_small.jpeg) and replace the original. Then take your modified files and drop it back into the /drawable directory of your apk file. Sign your apk file and you should be good to go. Make sure that you don't have a Thumbs.db in the directory. It's safe to have in there but it can take up space and it's completely unnecessary. In regards to just adding additional wallpapers it would have to be done from source. It's probably easier for a beginner to just rename and replace.
To resign... (sigh) there are about half a dozen ways to do it. Seek and ye shall find.

[Q] How to change default contact picture

Hi,
I need to change default contact pictures. Its for our customer who finds the green droid infinitely iritating . Anyway, I rooted the Desire HD and did s-off, Clockwork recovery is in place. Bud I didnt find any themes or even adress where those pictures are in the phone.
I will be happy for any advice what image to create, how big, format etc...
And ofcouse where to flash it.
Update:
Actually, no one solved it, i found numerous questions about this and no definitive answer. So any pro here who wants to get extra thanks ?
This is my exact wish!
Fullscreencaller works as windows... unusable
I know where the Dancing Android lives
You need 7zip installed and your chosen ROM saved on your PC.
Right click on ROM and choose
7zip>Open Archive (don't just double click to open it)
Now browse to:
\system\app\
Right click on Phone.apk and choose:
Open
Now browse to:
\res\drawable-hdpi\
Extract the folder so you can view them all as thumbnails. Then you will see 4 files called:
phone_default_270.PNG
phone_default_300.PNG
phone_default_incall_270.PNG
phone_default_incall_300.PNG
There are other contact pictures in there too, as it's the dialler so just have a look and see what you want to change.
Now, for the contact picture that appears in your contact list in HTC People, follow the same as above but go to:
\system\app\HtcContacts.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\
Then look for:
people_home_defaultphoto.PNG
It might also be worth a look in:
\system\framework\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\
Now for the disclaimer:
This is all at your own risk. I'm not sure what limitations / consequences there are for modifying these files as I have only used this method to swap icons from other ROMs into my own. You might need some kind of special editor for the PNGs, but at least you now know where to look
@sviftcz: If you need help with creating a flashable zip, you could upload your Phone.apk and the pictures you want and I'll make one for you.

What are the missing steps from my post above? I'm keen to do this myself now we're speaking about it!
Do the pngs have to be saved a specific way or is it simply a case of creating a file with the same dimensions and swapping them over? As I said, I've only ever swapped over files that were from one ROM into another rather than adding in files I've created myself.
Thanks
Your guide is awesome! But it misses the steps how you get it on your phone
You'll have to take your original phone.apk, open it with winrar or 7zip (don't extract, just open it), and drag and drop your edited images from the previously extracted apk in the right folders.
When you're done, exit winrar/7zip and put the phone.apk into system/app of this flashable update zip: http://www.multiupload.com/THCTLMRDBU
And that's it. If you want more details or if I didn't explain it well, just tell me.
Haha, yeah... I forgot to say that I do it before I flash the ROM!
Using your flashable zip is way easier though.
The only other thing is, do you have to save the PNGs with specific settings, other than them being the same size obviously?
Cheers

Okay
The color depth (expressed in bits) doesn't matter as long as the png has the right dimensions, as you said.
btw, I didn't make this zip, it's from he_stheone64.
IS there any temporary rooting available for the new version of Desire HD?
I dont want to update any FW, nor root image. Thanks the help!
