I really want to get this font on my phone, I dont know how to turn it into a .apk, I am NOT rooted, i have like 20 fonts installed on my phone though. Is there anyway someone can hook this up for me or tell me how to do it without rooting?
the font program i DL on my phone is "Fontomizer" if that means anything, I dont know.
thanks.

I've been messing around getting Japanese display working, and my old method of copying over a Windows font to \Windows\Fonts doesn't seem to work anymore.
Now, I'm running into the old problem of trying to delete it afterwards.
Is there any way to do this? I hate to have to go through a hard reset (the old way) just to do it, although with so much more ROM now, I might just call it a loss.
If you mean you want to get rid of the fonts you should get TotalCommander
Rename the font to a different extension. Reboot your device after this you can safely delete the renamed font

I spent hours getting display on the Kaiser to work. There is a thread on it here further down in this section.
Only downside is the MSN Messenger has stopped working..
Ofiaich
Ok so I have been searching the forums and I cannot find an exact answer for what I want to change so if this is a problem that had already been solved, please direct me to the thread.
I just recently dl'd the chm binary release and like it. But the on screen keyboard is hard on my eyes.
So my question is how would I go about replacing it with something like, o say the buuf on screen keyboard instead?
HTC_IME is not what I want just to clarify.
And once again, I apologize if this has already been threaded...
There is no way that none of you know this...

We could help you, but it is a 3rd party keyboard. What keyboard is it?
I'm not really sure. After installing the HTC_IME, I now have 2. Htc keyboard and android keyboard. If I knew how to take a screenie, I would but I don't.
As far as I know, its the on screen keyboard I've had since I rooted...
The keyboard that comes with chm binary is what I want to change...
well, I know how to modify the look of the builtin keyboard, but I haven't messed with 3rd party stuff.
The stock keyboard can be changed by theming. They're just png files, although the .9.pngs make it a little bit more complicated.
Well I kinda figured as much but what I'm really trying to ask is where do I find them?
They're in framework-res.apk on the phone. If you extract this file they'll be under res/drawable/
The filenames are btn_keyboard*.png
By using metamorph or creating an update.zip style theme you can change these and apply a theme to the phone. Theming is a real pain, but I think it's worth learning how to do.
Ya, I have already pieced together a blackbar to my liking so I'm well aware of the hassles it is to do. I'll be learning the .9's as soon as I get my pc parts back from rma and then I'll try to put out a skin.
Thanks bud, I'll look into this tomorrow after I've slept...
If you want to do this easily, download the buff keyboard skin for better keyboard, and take the .9.pngs from there.
Wow! Now that should have been said at the very beginning. Good thing I was too busy today to get to that. Cloverdale, you just saved me a few hours of frustration. still though, I thank the both of you for the help. I will update the thread when I have success so everyone knows its solved!
Ps- anyone else try to read the forums on your phone? Its a little tricky...
Sorry for the off topic comment but I felt the need...
ok so I couldn't really find a way to download the better keyboard/buuf theme on the pc so I went and tried swapping the btn-keyboard---'s and noting happened after add.
So now I'm on the hunt for the better keyboard dl
I don't know where to look for the file when dl'ing to phone so if all else fails, I guess I could dl to phone and then search for it by folder by painstaking folder...
Update - I cannot for the life of me find the file on the web or on the phone. I dl'd from marketplace but I must not be very smart cause I don't know where marketplace stores stuff...
Downloading the better keyboard theme was supposed to save me grief but in fact, it did the exact opposite...
Update - Well I thought by removing the btn_keyboard_key.xml would solve my problem considering the BUUF skin does not contain one. Same nasty black and blue keyboard. All the buuf keyboard .--- are there so I'm confused once again.
I do not want to install another pay-for app and I don't want the entire buuf theme as of now so I will wait till later today after sleep and try again.
Unless someone knows exactly what's wrong. I'm doing everything I can to keep this 3 month old drywall from having holes in it...
I thought the black bar mod was hard to do... hahaha! That was a cake walk compared to this...
Update - Removing the xml's to the keyboard was a bad idea. It forced closed the android keyboard cause it wanted to change the language to latin or something like that. Touch Input keyboard (HTC_IME) will still work though and I made backups so all of this is just a learning experience for me.
...This is so not like modding and skinning a moto. Way more complicated. So much can go wrong.
Which reminds me, how do I view the .xml's with win7? Never done it before...
So does anyone have any other ideas? Maybe there's something I've been missing this whole time?
I have replaced the btn_keyboard--- files in the framework-res.apk like I was told to do and there is no effects... at all. Positive or negative...

Well the only other place I can think of is the LatinIME.apk, but I'm not sure about that one
You know, that almost makes sense cause when I removed the .xml for the keyboard to make it match with buuf, the phone kept screaming at me about ..... latin something. So I will check this out and let you know.
But now I have a new problem. I think I need to remove a few applications cause my phone keeps force closing everything after reboot due to an update.zip file. So once I conquor this then I'll start working on the original problem...
Hey there guys,
As the title says, i am meaning to ask about the HTC Desire lockscreen.
Our 2.1 Roms, including the ones from the HTC Legend, whenever you want to unlock you pull down the bar and the transition pulls down the lockscreen picture down as well.
On the HTC desire though, you just pull down the bar, and it unlocks in a better (for me) transition. The lockscreen picture stays intact, and the bar is just pulled down. I seem to prefer that.
Here's a video showing this @ 1:01.
Is this possible to achieve?
TIA
EDIT: 14/6/2010
Thanks to HomerSp (many many props) Desire lockscreen is now available!
Get it HERE as an update.zip.
Well..
Everything is possible! And I totally agree with you.
Yes, would be very nice. Perhaps a theme could resolve this or hopefully the official 2.1 will include this.
Now that we're three, anyone mind giving us a hint? I'll try and work on it myself if needed.
Gotha be something in the HTCLockscreen.apk !!
Hax some there making the lockscreen "wallpaper/background" not following the unlock bar. Instead you make it stand still and fadeout to the homescreen when unlock has been done.
Don't ask me how to do this tho
really liked it !
now , we are four
the lockscreen would be nice if it wre to be for the 2.1 roms
Also (thought I might add this in, might be some help), when answering a call only the bar slides down (not the background).
About whether this will be in the official 2.1, I'm not sure if this any indication of what to expect but on the HTC Wildfire (2.1 and similar specs to our Hero), the lockscreen is the same as the one we have in 1.5 (ie bar + background, not just bar).
My guess its just a modified HTCLockscreen.apk

Yea figured as much as well, thing is i have no idea if, due to the difference in screen size, it would get affected ( i suppose it will).
And due to me not knowing HOW to edit apk's, thought maybe i'd ask first.
I'll be uploading in a while the Lockscreen.apk off of MCR ROM for the Desire. My ROM isn't deodexed, so I can't test it, if any of you guys wanna give it a try, please do so and let me know. Nandroid first, as kendong said.
edit. just remove the HTCLockscreen.apk from system/app/ and push this one via adb.
Well, as noone tried it, i did a nandroid and cooked a Villain rom 5.5.0 with the APK integrated in it.
Freezes on boot. Ill try again and get a logcat, see if someone can help out.
I like the collapsing effect we have on 1.5..
Ok so instead of a cooked rom, i went ahead and installed 5.5.0 Villain Rom today, and removed the normal HtcLockScreen.apk via adb, and pushed the new one.
As expected, same as above, it wouldn't boot. I've got a logcat now.
Anyone mind giving this a look?
I am still not giving up here.
Decompiled the apk's via the APKTool, and i am "trying" to compare the two. Anyone with more knowledge please help me out.
Here are the two decompiled apk's. One from VR 5.5.0 and the other one from the Desire.
I do believe that this might be a problem with /system/frameword/com.htc.resources.apk. If it is, i have no idea how to fix it. This guess is based upon the fact that most themers update that particular apk in order to move from old framework rosies to new ones (1.5 =>2.1).
ANY help is appreciated.
There are 4 changed files located in DesireLock\smali\com\htc\lockscreen
HtcLockScreen$1.smali
HtcLockScreen$5.smali
HtcLockScreen.smali
R$string.smali
Comparing these would probably come up with only the bar going down as these files are smalled then the original hero lockscreen.

You based this on the file size difference, didn't you?
Well, substituting the files from the old lockscreen to the new desire lockscreen, then recompiling would make it work, you believe?
If all the other requets are the same, then yes it should be just a few lines actually. But i have no idea what the other differences between say the dialer, or other functionality the desire lockscreen adds/remove's.
I really want this too
Wouldn't it be easier to get the desire lockscreen.apk and put the graphics from the hero into the apk-file and edit the layout so the images fit into the screen?
Is there a way to completely change the smileys in the system? I mean the smileys are like this,
but to be honest i would rather prefer them like this
without the dashes. Is there a way to do that so that the whole system recognizes them?

Neat idea.
You mean a custom smiley set, right?
Something like that. The HTC IME mod by jonasl (I think) has custom smileys, but when you send them the system doesn't recognize it and keeps it like that. I want to change it so the system recognizes custom smileys.
Is there any way to install additional fonts on Android? I don't want to replace the system font, I just want to make them available for use on the web. Is it as simple as drag and dropping them into a folder?
