i pulled the phone apk found the framework changed,re size the img and for what ever #$%^&@* .... the img wont stick...... WHY what am i missing...
Maybe the image actually wasnt changed within the apk? or the image u need to replace is in a different res folder, or could be a .9.png...could be a whole number of things
If you're still having problems after messing with it some more, feel free to upload the apk and the images edited. ill take a crack at it

what image are you talking about and are you talking about the phone.apk. Your probably changing the wrong one... you might want to try wiping the dalvik also.
ok so i got it... for whatever reason i had to change it in the contacts apk... weird but i got it... hey thank you guys for your support...

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

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.
ok guys.... here is where im at... i wanted to replace the camera click sound to the sound of the camera from texas chainsaw massacre.... i just like the way it sounds... i downloaded the file, converted it to .ogg renamed it camera_click.ogg but i am not sure what to do from here. i know i need to unzip the apk, replace the file, zip it again, and sign the file, but i have no clue where to begin on that. any help would be appreciated guys!
PS- i attached the .ogg file just remove the .zip to listen to it. also, if anyone just wants to try to tackle job that would rock as well
where did the ogg come from? (as in what location)
You should just be able to push it back using the terminal
cp /sdcard/nameoffile.apk /new/location/

the ogg is packed inside of camera.apk----- system/app/camera.apk
inside the apk, it is camera/res/raw/camera_click.ogg
i know i need to replace the .ogg file, once i do this do i just zip it back up, sign and push the new .apk to my phone?
running jacxrom btw

i want to try it, but im too chickensh** to try it right now, got class in the morning and i dont wanna spend tonight wiping my phone and setting things back up if it doesnt work right lol
question... once i edit the files i need to, i zip back up and it is named as zip... do i just change .zip to .apk and voila its changed and able to push to my phone or am i missing something here?
so i got the file replaced, but when i try to push/install back to my phone through adb i get install parse error. i tried using stericsons autosign util but no luck getting it working on my computer at the moment. if i upload the zip of the camera with the file replaced can someone sign and upload it back here again so i can use it? I would appreciate it.
EDIT---I got it signed and installed, but none of the sounds from the camera app play when i take a picture. Any idea as to why this may be?

Don't zip it. Open the apk with winrar and drag and drop in the new sound, it should remain as an apk. At this point you can try pushing it as it is. If it doesn't work then sign it, and make sure the method you're using works for apks (some are only for update.zip). If that adds a .zip on the end, remove it.

Yeah, I'm 99% sure that the length is the problem, just due to the way the app is programmed to load sounds. Wouldn't hurt to make it the same bit rate.

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

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.
I'd hate to be that guy who starts a whole thread for something...but I've looked everywhere and can't find the answer.
I'm working on my first theme, and I unzipped the framework recourse apk files, made the changes to the files inside, and now I want to turn them back into apk format so I can make everything into a flashable update.
I can't figure out how to turn these framework recourse folders into framework recourse apk files! Can anyone help me!? Thanks! If all goes well, I'll have a new theme out for you guys by tonight.
Thanks in advance!

Yes. Zip up file, change .zip to .apk.
What? You dont need to resign .apk's. In fact, you're making too much work for yourself. Im sure you extracted the .apk to a folder. All you need to do is reopen that .apk with 7zip. Drag and drop your changes into the .apk and you're done. No need to resign or anything.

Thanks for your help guys. I ran into some trouble with all this, and even realized that I mistakenly used some of the wrong files (from a theme that I actually didn't want to use)...so I'm gonna have to spend more time working on this. Hopefully I can get it finished and uploaded tomorrow. But thank you for your help. Right now I got homework to do. bleh.
Thanks for the post. I've been looking all over for this answer.

ok so I finally got my brain to open this apk and change the 9pngs, just to change the colors a little...
How do I make it an apk again? its all in a folder, but i tried ziping it and chnaging the name to apk, and didnt work lol

First of all... if you change a 9.png file then it may not work very well since a lot of 9.png files need guides. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you'll probably end up with a messed up app.
If you want to try it anyway, why don't you just take the original apk file and open it up with winrar, replace the png files (or 9.png files in your case), sign the apk file then install it.
I'm assuming that you didn't actually develop the app since you don't even know how to make the apk file.
So based on that assumption I'm going to warn you not to distribute the app unless you have the developers permission.
Oh no no no, I wont distribute.. is just for my personal use, to make my theme match lol
And yeahhh I suck at all of this, so im just gonna leave it for the good.. lol I dont even know how to sign an app.. lol
