Hello,
I would like to know is it possible in someway to use the fonts in windows PC on Galaxy S?
I already tried to copy and rename the fonts then replace but no luck.
What changes I have to do to make this work?
Thanks
Do a search there's already a thread on how to do this.

I already did that, but what I am looking for is how to make the windows fonts from my pc work on android. Because if I copy the fonts to system/fonts on android it will not simply work. I think it should be converted/changed. I really want to know.
Thanks again
Again, theres a thread on how to do this, involves a script. No idea what you are doing using your method.

I know how to change the android font. I use the Root Explorer for that and it did the trick. My problem is when I use a ttf font from any source it will not work while when I use any font that are taken from an andoid ROM and posted in the web it work.
So, what does make the android fonts special? and what I have to do to make any font taken from my PC the same?
Thanks

Ok so I am trying to get friend stream to work in the new fresh rom. I got the apk from damages rom along with the widget. In cmd I successfully push the apps /system/app/ after typing in adb remount. However after I reboot the app is not there. How do I get this to work? Also was wondering how to port a system app from a darchlegend rom to work on any other rom. Any advice is welcome.

Wont work, period. It needs an .odex for both the widget and the normal .apk for it to work in the latest release.

Ok I can pull the odex file but where does that go? Or is that something created when the apk is compiled if so any good tuts for editing and recompiling?

Can someone help me out figure out how to switch my fonts or use type fresh cant seem to get it to work
Have a friend having the same problem. Cant seem to get any method to work. Is there any solution? I'm i missing something?
I have and Evo and its a simple flash with one of the font packs. No such luck with this Aria.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
There's a thread somewhere in here about this for the aria. Its definitely feasible ...I think jason911 or whatever his exact name is knows how to do this ...

Search the forums for fonts. Theres a thread full of flashable font packs that I can verify work on the aria as I've used several of them.

Not a problem at all, the main thing is to help each other
I used Churapa's method too (thanks!) so I don't know if the flashable zips work or not, but here's a link to the EVO thread with more than 200 font packs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160
Even if you find you can't flash them to your Aria, you can still download the zip file and get the fonts out of them to use with the ADB method.
I have used the flashable zips from that link the biggest problem I had is some of them are to big of a font size. I would recommend doing a nandroid first in case you're not happy with the results
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
If you're not happy with the results, you can always just flash the original fonts back. They are freely available on the internet if you didn't back them up.
Problem is, all screenshots are for HDPI devices (480x800). And some of them look ugly on the Aria.
I would venture to say that most of them look ugly, and not just on the Aria. But it's not that difficult to move on to the next font either. To each their own...

if you have rooted your aria there is an app in the android market called font changer. it gives you instructions on how to change fonts

Since you copied ONLY the Swype.apk and libraries, and that Swype is made for stock ROM. That's mean you have to copy TouchWiz related library, permission, and configuration.

Yep, so i tried it on CM7.2
Simply copying TW Properties isn't gonna make it work. Some build.prop line must be the problem.
Can someone make or guide me as how to make a dialer like the one attached.

Theming the dialer to the extent of the one in that ROM is far from easy, you'd be better downloading the ROM and using the dialer from it ... Although I imagine it requires themed framework files aswell to look like that.

Not sure you will get the full themed look mate as it has themed framework files which, if flashed, would replace the ones from your current ROM which would most likely affect any Mods you use that require the same frameworks and/or apps. You can just drag the dialer and phone apps out of the ROM and try flashing them on their own but they are from a different base so there's no guarantee they'd work ... Check this thread, that's the RGUI ROM for the one but you'd have to install it to use the built in kitchen app to download the theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318947
Personally, I'd request a themed dialer from this thread as the OP does some awesome work when it comes to theming ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2360865

That dialer is not belonged to MIUI instead it is sense dialer only. I guess ROHIT stopped making roms for sense. If you have his ROM, then you can extract all the pngs from drawable's folder of contacts & phone.apk and copy to the existing phone.apk & contacts in the corresponding folders. Later decompile the respective apks and go to colors .xml and change the color to blue for the sub text. You can get the color code from the RGUI decompiled apks's though. After compiling back, you can push the apk through adb and then reboot!
Infact ROHIT (dev of RGUI) did shared all his white themeing files with me , but i was too lazy to do the themeing though!

I followed your post from my thread to here. It's a basic white keyboard that has the colors in xml edited slightly. It wouldn't take much to theme but you can't send over the images as there are xml coding in a few different places that needs to be added to the apk. The colors will not affect system as they are apk related only. The problem is you need to theme both the Phone.apk and Dialer.apk.
Cheers...

It depends. It looks like a Sense ROM. You can pull the Dialer and Phone apk from the zip and add into system/apps and see if that works. Make a back up of your original ROM first.

i could not find a way to change system font in setting, it looks like Z1 does not have option at all.
Does anyone know how to change fonts? i wish i could just install font.apk files like galaxy series!!
You can't.
I have many flashable fonts but you have to be rooted and have recovery for that or manually change one file at the other.
