Question mark character - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear xda-community,
since I did a few things with my phone ( rooted, applied new font, lagfix ) I have a few problems with the display of text.
In some parts of the text, there are question marks in boxes.
Not like they replace real letters, but they are somehow appended to some text, for example for the menu entry of Weather and Toggle Widgets.
Any idea what this could be and how to fix it?
If you want screens or further details just tell me and i'll add it.

Edit: By switching back to the default font, I figured out that it was the custom font. It was called Comfortaa as used here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752200
I used LauncherPro Plus with it and there were those question marks everywhere, maybe someone knows where this comes from, so I could make it work on my device.

Touchflo 3d wallpaper change

Hey guys, I know this has been posted before, and i feel bad for making a new topic about it, but i've tried searching and cannot for the life of me find the topic. I don't even know the proper keyword to search.
Anyways an answer would be greatly appreciated.
In the touchflo 3d tabs, I know how to change the main wallpaper, but how do i put individual wallpapers for each tab?
Do i need 3rd party software? or is it a reg edit?
Thanks in advance!
no one can help me out????

hmm, thanks for replying, although it didn't really provide a solution to my question.
is there even a solution or it's not possible?
Do you mean the few dark grey squares in the backgroud that show in different tabs? My belief is that you can't change the wallpaper there because it's not a simple wallpaper image file that is there (my belief is the background is built up by one single square image file). But you can change the color of the squares (from grey to red or blue) or outlook of individual squares (from rectagle to circle, maybe? but it may look silly to do so).
Well at least not for now, but I am sure somebody is hacking the phone hard enough to make it happen one day .
you need manila editor to change the square appearance, btw. Look for the "square" image file in manila editor and change it to whatever color/shape you like. Try, if you don't like it. Switch it back.

Font within Calendar

Hi,
Apologies if this is answered, but I have searched (thoroughly) and can't find it.
The font with my calender (Notes for Appointments etc.) is set at 8 point rather than my preferred 10.
The font size option only appears to change the screen view, but not the actual font (as this synchs to Outook, it looks awful).
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the font size. I have searched the Registry with no luck and HTC say that it can't be changed which is like a red rag to a bull. There must be a setting - I just need to know what it is.
Please enlightem me.
Where is all the knowledge
Hi
I can't believe that I've no response to this. I thought it would be a no-brainer!
Does no-one know how to change the font (not just the screen view) in Outlook?

Changing Background for Xperia Panel 1

Hello! I have a quick question for anyone who is willing to help me out here..
I have already searched and found a topic on changing the default background for the sony ericsson panel 1, which states you have to replace the 10v and 10h files in the programfiles\panels\SonyEricssonPanel\images with other jpeg images.
Here's the thing: I tried and it did not work. I have backed-up my originals, took them out of that folder, and replaced them with my own jpeg files, same resolution as the originals, tried selecting another theme, tried changing panels, and tried to soft rest, and somehow, the panel still comes up with that same default background.. :-(
Please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, very much appreciated!!
I'm just a newbie, but changing the background photo on panel 1 I just opened explorer, opened up my photos folder (it works on both internal and external memory, tested right now), marked the picture, chose "set as background", set opacity and voila I have horses running!
(white horses and white letters in the menus, so I changed to another theme from "settings - today" that gave black letters)
(my menus are Norwegian, so I'm guessing what they would be in English)
thanks for the reply,
I already tried that and it didn't work. The only place I see somewhat of the picture I chose was when I press the start menu. It's like a background for the start menu only and the panel background stays the same.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
google for pocketpc theme
get the tsk themes you like
put the tsk files on your ppc
cloose the theme in settings->today
using
"use this picture as the background" is not enough
colours for text and bars are defined in the themes
Ahh, thanks for the help but unfortunately no one understoon my question!!
I wanted to actually modify one of the existing panels. Panel 1 is not the normal today screen, it is the one that displays the clock and calendar and the quick function buttons.
I wanted to find out how to get that default color-laser looking background out and replace it with my own so that way i can still have the quick function icons on the bottom, but I already figured it out.
It seems you have to tap the weather information to get to the screen where you can change your background color, and that lets go of the cached background image after you've replaced the 10v and 10h files.

[THEME] Lacuna42 for Throttle Launcher - DEVELOPMENT ENDED

After a lot of work and testing Lacuna 3.0 by myself and Trekfan is reborn as Lacuna 42.
You can view a video review of the theme by actionboy here
This theme is released as is, there will be no significant updates to it following this release.
I will however offer a service whereby if you are willing to make a donation I will help tailor the theme to suit you, changing layout, adding additional weather detail, adding additional pages etc.
I have given up a lot of time to produce this theme following its original concept by trekfan who has gone the way of the little green robot so if you like my work and cannot donate at least please say thankyou so I know my work is appreciated and I will continue to come up with new ideas for as long as there is a need.
This Throttle Launcher theme requires version 1.2.1 to be installed and supports full screen 480x800 wallpaper in jpg format.
The homepage from top to bottom features :
a hideable interactive taskbar.
to activate/hide press on the battery icon.
you can toggle the bluetooth wifi and sound profile from the taskbar by just pressing them.
two sizes of clock accessible from the throttle config window.
next appointment accessible by pressing on the clock itself.
the blue icon to the right of the clock is programable
you can assign any quick launch app to through throttle config
notifications for new texts missed calls and emails
current weather condition icon complete with temp and location
app launcher page activated by pressing the icon in the bottom right when on the homepage
The friends page starts with your favourite contacts followed by and add and remove option followed by a full list of all remaining contacts.
The text page shows the last 20 messages recieved with the newest at the top.
The messages page shows similar for a specified email account.
CHANGELOG :
03 June 2011 :
Due to Google screwing with their weather api I have had to modify the theme to use the current condition text instead of the originally numbered icons from the registry. There are several new conditions for which I do not have icons so I have for now recycled existing ones. When a fuller set is made available I will update again.
Please download and enjoy.
The below screenshots will show you in detail what can be changed in the theme via throttle config.
Screen 08 & 09 show the default programs catagorised under Objects.
The majority of settings don't really need any explanation
the clock size is either normal or large
If you change the default sms app from tmail please untick sms default
do not change sms param as this is required by ther program
only one mail account is used in the theme so ensure only one is selected
Screen 10 Weather
Here you can specify the location
units in centigrade or fahrenheit
autoupdate if required should be ticked
if autoupdate is required please provide a period in minutes for the update to be performed
Screen 11 Background / Text
The select path option is used to specify wallpaper.
There is an initial choice of two dark and one light background in the default folder where the theme is installed.
The Background colour is used to specify either lgiht or dark by selecting
0 for dark or
255 for light
The font colour should then be set to the opposite.
under no circunstances should you change anything in the section Here Be Monsters as it will cause the theme to break.

Did u watch on my wallpaper i posted you? I think this is TL problem, but in other devices it is not problem, si idk. I just have to use the one color wallpaper.
Anyway, i love Lacuna
I thought I had replied to you on the development thread, it is the same for me and I cannot understand why when other more complex wallpapers I have used since all work fine. It is something odd with the blending between the black and blue?
And thankyou for your kind comments
I tried blend between the red -black, but there are stripes too, anyway, i found nice wallpaper and it made lacuna more awesome for me So stripes aren't problems for me anymore . (I finally see the top bar transparent )
But, if I wanna let this theme on mobile, it should be more "settings friendly". What I mean? I mean, if I want connect to net via wifi, and in my location isn't only one wifi signal, i have to go to menu, scroll down to windows/samsung setings and there i can connect wifi where I want. So, what about do it like this: If u touch wifi on/off in top bar, it will be on/off wifi, but if u hold that icon for a while, it will launch wifi settings . Do I want a much? I know, it have to be usable on every phone, but owners can redirect it to their own locations (i mean the scripts)
I know I am annoying
Your not, your request is valid but there is no long press in TL see here.
I could change things so it will either toggle or open an action but that would require a major rewrite
Hello,
Have anyway to put an youtube video about this theme?
Thanks.
I dont have a way of recording it myself no but if there is anyone that can please PM me and I will send you my email address so you can send me the video to upload.
nice theme
love the theme, so sick.. but when you go to send a text and have to deploy the keyboard, TL always has to reset! major flaw cause some of the TL themes are so cool, just NO stability
Sorry to hear that, I wouldnt be using TL if it did that myself.
Are you using the latest version 1.2.1 from within the TL forums?
Also are you using the theme as a today plugin?
If you are try disabling it and running as standalone.
Of course, it could just be an issue with the rom you have been using if all the above is correct.
yes 1.2.1... and if i use it as a today plugin, it has to restart, and if i use it as a standalone, the "unnexpected error please try running again" pops up
hmmm? hardware acceleration disabled?
no, it just doesnt want to go in landscape mode, i have a TP2...
This is a portrait only theme and if hardware acceleration is enabled, try disabling. It isnt needed for this theme anyway
no i know its a portrait only theme, just when i go to slide my phone keyboard out to text, it puts my text program into landscape cause it has to, then i send and close the keyboard then exit out of the text program to find its restarting.. i even tried messing with the regedit to make my phone never go into landscape mode, but its a pain and no fun and eventually fails
I used to have a wizard and a kaiser and this didnt happen on either device when the keyboard was deployed. This is either a rom or phone specific issue. Afraid I can't help with that sorry.
yeah no its all good... there needs to be a way where there really isnt a landscape mode it just projects on the landscape screen the same way it would on the portrait way, it would look CRAPPY but still be able for you to do it...
and like this theme and the wp7 v2 fireslave, its cool cause of the seperate messaging hubs, i like that ALOT! and CHT doesnt really have that, and im trying to get someone to make that.. i cant code anything or do all that jazz
That is actually a good idea, creating the default landscape pages using the same code as it would stop it from crapping up when people use autorotate.
looks like there may well be a v2 coming soon

[Q] MIUI skinning question

Hi All,
I have been looking for the past weeks for the following.
Nobody really replied but Vukandric, who is really busy.
Even on the Miui dev board no answer.
And I cant imagined this has not been asked before.
I am running the black (or dark as it is called) theme for MIUI.
Great, but for me 2 apps which are involving daily activities are still white.
The email-app en the calendar-app (not widget) are still white.
The calendar is white backgroud with black text, even worse, email is white back with lightgrey text.
I would like to get both apps in black background with white text.
Is this impossible? I have not seen a theme yet with this layout.
Or doesn't anybody want this.
I sure could use dome help in achieving this. What files do I need to change and where can these files be found.
Thanx to anyone trying to help in advance.
EJ
depending on whether the backgrounds are images or .xml values(?), you'd have to open up the .apk for the relevant program, find the images you wish to modify, modify them, and add them to the relevant theme.
The text however can be modified with a themes_value.xml in the relevant theme, but I know /little/ in regards to what wording is required, other than the colour being specified as #FFFFFFFF.
