[Q] This may be noobish... - Android Themes

Okay, i asked this question in the Hero forums, but it was never answered, but it is a general android question, that has to do with themes, lol, but the question was, is there a way to add more fonts for use JUST with minimalistic text? where would i put them, and.. how do you create a flashable font file? i'm sorry if this may have been answered somewhere.. -.-; but please answer, lol, it's been bugging me for a while now.. oh! and one more, when you guys mod widget locker, does it uninstall for you when you reboot your phone? and thank you all once again (^_^*)b
*****, i don't mean to throw a bunch of questions in, but when you move a picture file, do you have to unmount and then mount your sd card for it to show up in 3d gallery? it always does that for me...

I've been wondering the same thing.
'Cause I wanted to use the Segoe WP font, but when I put the .ttf files or w/e on my card and went into MTW and tried to locate it, it wouldn't.
So I gave up on that.

1. The font question was a little vague, but system/fonts is where all the fonts are at. You can just replace them with root explorer, you don't necessarily need a flashable zip. It's just a little more work.
2. I don't use widget locker, so I'm no help there.
3. I think unmounting and remounting the SD card would work, but I know the phone automatically rescans for new media on a reboot. That's easier than unmounting the SD card, to me.
Hope that helps.

i thank you for helping on the font question, just in minimalistic text widget, there is a choice to change the font in the settings, i was wondering if there was a way to get more in it..? or would adding the fonts in the system/fonts folder do that?

Minimalistic Text has added the ability to use custom fonts, but only for the donate version (donators get features earlier than regular users). Using custom fonts will be available for free version users soon. I'd check the MTW thread though, I might have misunderstood.

If you didn't sign the .apk WL will fail upon reboot.
What you're doing is creating a temporary mod, unsigned.
To fix it either sign the .apk with APKManager like a real man.
..or install WL to /system/app <- - - Only if you're lazy though.

lmao, i never thought about not signing it! and is there a way for me to donate??? =D

Regarding the mount/unmount thing: I installed Auto Mount and it rescans the SD card everytime I disconntect from USB. Works perfectly on my HTC Desire. Maybe you should try it.
And regarding your WL mods: if you use NinjaMorph you are able to exchange graphics in an apk on the phone without having to reinstall it. Works like a charm.

I never thought about stuff like that either. But it's become quite clear to me that all .apks should be signed apart from system .apks.
Donate to me? - No.
You can donate to your ROM developer or the XDA crew

Oh, duh. It didn't even register to me that you were talking about the widget. I thought you were just asking about system fonts. Oops.

lol, i'm sooooo donating to them today! and can i use the Auto Sign to sign my widgetlocker file after i edit it? and the SD card, when like, i download a file from my dropbox onto my phone, w/o it being connected, i move it to a folder that is in myu gallery, but when i move it, the file won't show up in my gallery, until i unmount/mount the sd card and it re-scans it. i was kind of asking if there is a way to get the gallery to scan when i open the gallery? i hope that was more useful.. lol

Yes, you can use Stericson's Auto-Sign tool.
I have some issues with that aswell. I use SD Rescan to 'fix' it though.

Hey man,the name's Andy.I'm new here on XDA and stumbled across this thread just surfing and looking for the MyFaves App as well for my G1. I am running the SuperHero V2 and am also looking for the myFaves app. I know a lot of people don't like it but it's just a quick way to access your favorite 5 people. Anyways...Do you understand any of this jibber jabber at all? I've read the thread and don't understand how to install the app onto my G1. When I flashed the Hero ROM to my G1 I lost the MyFaves App and am just trying to get it back. I've read many many threads on this topic but am still learning how to add apps. Any help would be greatly appreciated from anybody as to how to install this app onto my G1 with Hero Rom. Thanks in advance everybody! Any answers can be sent directly to [email protected] as I do not check threads that much. I check back every other day while being bored at work. Any Help is GREATLY appreciated!

get ready for some more jibba jabba. Be sure your phone is allowed to install non-market apps. Do this by selecting Options then Applications, then make sure you select the check box next to "Unknown Sources".
Next download the .apk and load it onto your SD card. After thats done go ahead and download Astro file manager from the Marketplace. With me so far? Good. Once you have astro installed launch it and look for the .apk you placed on your sd card. If you did everything properly then you will be able to select the .apk and press Install.
Hope that helps

I'm tracking on what your saying and totally understand but where can I download the myfave.apk file from?Thanks again,it's very much appreciated!
short answer: you cant.
the myfaves app is an odex file, completely different ballgame. basically, nobody has found a way of incorporating it into roms yet and t-mobile never put it on the market like their other apps.
regardless, unless youre using the myfaves app for the interface, its useless anyway. set your myfaves through t-mobile.com and then set up direct call links on your desktop using anycut or bettercut.

Couldn't say it any better. Plus you won't want the myfaves app on your phone because its a memory hog.
MyFaves?
OK,one more question. I've been trying to modify things and trying to figure out how to do this. Does anybody know how to use apps2sd to move the myfaves.apk or the odex file or whatever to the sd card? Basically like moving an app to the sd but with the myfaves app? Anybody understand what I'm saying? Just curious. I'm trying to figure this out so that I can try to port it to a Hero build. I'm kinda at a dead end here.Any help is appreciated.
in windows you have to have "show file extensions" enable in the view tab of Folder Options

I have myFaves already,I'm trying to figure out how to move it to the SD Card like apps2sd would do. When I use apps2sd though it does not move MyFaves to the SD card. I think if I could figure this out and get it to work I MAY(not for sure) would be able to port it to a hero build.IDK. I'm just trying anything to get it ported right now.I'm working hard on this and racking my brain and searching and looking and scouring for answers. Thanks for your input though.

(THEME) Stock Music app not so boring anymore...

Ok so I have been tinkering around for the past few trying to get the Fender Music app on my dream. Well I did it but the app sucks cause it's not FOR my device. And being that I don't know how to make it work right, I decided to go back with the stock app.
Enough rambling, you want the goods...
Backup before doing this cause I take no responsibility.
remove the .zip from the name.
Wouldn't hurt to resign it either...
Put the file in your theme's .zip. In the app folder within the .zip of course.
I don't know how to take screen shots but I will tell you to try it and you will like it. This works on my dream flawlessly. I hope the same for you...
This wasn't really that hard to do. Mostly because I don't know how to modify/make .9's nor these .xml's for that matter. But most of the visuals are what I have modified anyway so I don't see the need...
The one thing I have a problem with is the lack of album art. As soon as I figure that out, things will be nice!
This will be on my theme as soon as I get it out. I have grown to understand how long this takes for you themeer's out there. I thank you all for everything you do. But I would like to thank Binary for helping me understand the basics of things around here!!!
Which brings to my attention, this is based on CM 4.2.13......
screenshot.apk from market...
Thanks much. I was waiting for that actually though.
But that's what I will use when I have everything finished.
Knowing this environment though, I'll never finish...

You can take screenshots even easier with ddms.bat
In revision 4 just go to Device and Screen Capture (or whatever).
Simple.
Ok. Thank you. But I'm still going to wait until I finish my theme before I take screen shots. Until then, you'll just have to dl it to find out what it looks like...
Nice to see you getting so into this. If you want help with .9.pngs, Jairomeo taught me a nice trick that makes it very easy (assuming eclipse is set up).
Eclipse is set up I just don't know how to use it other than to start up a virtual android...
Gonna try it out now. I want to know what it looks like

This is outdated. I haven't had the time to work on it lately and I apologize for that. My theme hasn't seen any love for a few days either.
But it works and looks better than stock.
Here's how I install it.
Put music.apk in root sdcard folder. Use a file manager like Astro or And Explorer to navigate to it. Click it and install with package installer.
Enjoy!

News & weather in cm7

I can't figure out if I'm crazy or not but should my cm7 have a news & weather widget? I thought I uninstalled it with TB so I flashed over the top and I got back all other apps I removed except that. This tells me it's not there but then there's a screen shot in the theme Chooser thread and the news & weather widget is there right on someone's screen...ok flame away..I stopped smoking 2 weeks ago so I fully expect the answer to be that I'm crazy.

It's in the gapps-gb for CM7.
Aha! Thank you kind sirs for the sanity check and info. Didn't even think to look in the gapps for it and kept opening the cm7 zip apparently thinking it may give me different files each time I opened it.

Just wanted a different setup and wanted to check it out. Just for future reference, not sure if this is known. I copied the geniewidget to system /app then did install..didn't work. Tried install from SD. No work. Rebooted still no change. So I reflashed gapps to get it back. One thing I'll mention on the gapps is Google books may be bad news. I was trying to copy my SD card and Google books had strings so long win7 barked. Needless to say I wont be using it again

Using Root Explorer you need to copy the GenieWidget.apk into /system/app. Then you need to change permissions on it to rw-r--r--. If you do not set permissions correctly, you won't see the widget. If you are using TE to copy to /system/app, you can change permissions with chmod 644 /system/app/GenieWidget.apk. Once you do that, you need to reboot. I usually wipe my caches whenever I put something in /system/app but I don't think it is required to do so.
Alternatively you can use adb push from your PC to /system/app and then the permissions should be set for you. You still need to reboot for it to be available.

[Q] Willingly uninstalled a default app (how could i be soo dumb)

Please help me, i have a Galaxy S gt-i9000 with froyo (rooted) and i downloaded some custom dialer/ contacts and sms packs (it looked nice so i thought .. why not give it a try) but one of the apps said that its recommended to remove the default app so that it wont cause any conflicts. i wanted to uninstall the default dialer app but i ended up uninstalling the "Phone" app .. and now i cant use the contacts widget.. touching a contact wont pop up the menu with options (call, video call, send sms ..)
i wanted to check if i can try anything in Kies (restore or something) but my phone doesn't seem to be recognized anymore in Kies :|
Is there anything to be done?
any advice is deeply appreciated.
i have attached phone apk for you to install. you just need to unzip it and place it under /system /app and then reboot. make sure system is mounted RW
if that fails, reflash the ROM.
thank you for the prompt answer.
i downloaded the zip but i cant get to the root folder .. i mean .. i can only connect the phone in storage mode ...
should i try using a card?

You need either Root Explorer (paid) or Astro File Manager (free) from the market. Storage mode is fine, just copy the unzipped apk from your pc to the internal storage, then use one of the apps above to move it to /system /app.
Make sure you mount /system /app as rw or it wont paste.
ok so i copied it in /app ... asked me if i want to replace .. canceled and tried to run the phone apk that i already had ... it said App not installed.. so i copied and replaced the one from you .. and tried to run .. still no result :|

Ok, I could be wrong here, but I'm fairly sure I read somewhere on here that you need to MOVE system apps, not COPY them, so go to system/app/ again and delete the ones you copied, then Move them from root of your sd to system/apps again. Then maybe try a reboot. I'm not sure this will solve it, but it's probably worth a try...

Sorry, I assumed you were using Astro, or Root Explorer.
Astro is free on the market so it should be ok for me to post it here (if not, someone tell me ok?).
Gimme a few minutes to upload it...
ok .. i'll wait as much as it takes .. just to get this bastard working
Hey, happy to help, if I'm actually helping lol. That's what the sites for
Ok I've attached Astro, but I'd recommend buying Root Explorer, it's what I use. Also I've included a pic of the permissions needed by each of the files I put in the rar. I don't know about Astro, but in Root Explorer you just long press the app to get to permissions menu. You may not even need them, I'm not sure. Will check back tommorrow to see if you're making any progress.
ok thanks once again .. and good night
well astro cant edit permissions .. or at least not the free version .. or maybe they changed it in newer versions (in case there are any)

Damn, that's a pity, that was the latest version from the market, think you should buy Root Explorer if you can.
Permissions aside, did you successfully move the files with Astro?
If you did, dont try to install them, try a reboot first, I think that's what I did when I put the email.apk from SGSII into my SGS.
Sorry I didn't solve your problem tonight, will try again tommorrow if you want
i couldnt even move them cause the app dir is read only ... same for the files ... so unless i can get an app that can edit permissions i cant try moving/rebooting .

camera zoom fx, where is apk?

goings nuts. dug google for an hour, run search with root explorer, dug around on xda, turned phone upside down - but no luck. its not in data/app, system/app, cache/download, sdcard/download, to name some. its silly that single apk could be buried god knows where on android.
really run out of ideas where to search. any suggestions? thanks.
Probably in /sdcard/.android_secure then.
Check if it's installed on the sdcard in the program manager. If it is you can move it back to phone storage, which *will* be in /data/app.

nice suggestions - thanks trym!
but no. it's not in .android_secure and it's not installled on sd. should be in data/app but no.
Are you sure you're looking for the right name? Remember, the filenames in /data/app need not even resemble the name of the app.
However, should be easy to find anyway.
Uninstall the app.
List the contents of data/app

Are you sure you're looking for the right name? Remember, the filenames in /data/app need not even resemble the name of the app.
However, should be easy to find anyway.
Uninstall the app.
List the contents of data/app
Install it
List contents again and find the extra filename.

sure, i'm not quite certain what string to look for aside of obvious "zoom" or similar. however, when listing /app directories, the root browser displays the app icons so it's not hard to identify what's what but i just cannot locate it anyway. but thanks for effort!
Turns out I'd actually bought this app, sorry for not remembering. Installed it, mine is named "slide.cameraZoom-1.apk"

He's right. Check for the above file name. In /data/app over here.

i also bought it, but it wasn't in data/app.
anyway, status report: after last update from play store day ago it appeared in data/app under upper mentioned name. copied apk finally. where it was before the update remains a mystery.
Dont know whether its a nice suggestion or not
But if u r a root user dn u can download root app delete from market and in that just click on the app it will show u the destination of the apk.
