This app is for systems with root access only. It offers 3 main functions:
Apply selected TTF fonts to the system
Backup system fonts to /sdcard/Fonts
Restore backed up fonts from /sdcard/Fonts
Place any TTF files you have in /sdcard/Fonts for easiest access.
In order for Android to reload its system fonts, the system must be rebooted after applying. Also, most ROM updates will overwrite your fonts with the default ones while installing. To easily restore, simply find a set of fonts that work well for you and then select Backup fonts so that you can restore them later. Be aware that this simply overwrites any existing backup you have, so you may want to save the original fonts elsewhere if you think you may need them.
It can be downloaded from the Market, or directly from the Downloads section of the github repository

Also, I'd like for my app to reboot the system on its own, but programming for root seems to be a bit tricky at times. If anyone wants to lend a hand, all the code is up up at http://github.com/openback/Type-Fresh
really interesting.. thanks
ill give it a shot and report back shortly

Hehe. If you have adb installed, then run "adb logcat" and it will show you the log. Then you can run the app and see what it throws in there.
Hey OP, if you need help getting root, check out my app I made a while back. It gets root then runs raw shell commands. Should be what you need.. direct link. I posted the whole Eclipse workbench so you can see the code. There's more than enough comments to see what to do.
I got the error could not remount too.
I think this is the relevant section of the logcat
Code:

Also, off-topic, what theme are you using for the notification bar in the screenshots? It's nice.
Would be a nice app,but I get the same errors!
I also get this with my Hero running Fresh 2.0d

I also get a FC if I try to backup the fonts a second time.
Very good idea to have this kind of application.
I try with my rhodium android with SQUASH file system but failed.
It seems to allow to apply the replace font one font at a time when try to apply the second one, the program crashed. But even I apply one font and then exit and reapply the second font, so and so, there is still no change in the system fonts.
May be it cannot work with file system SQUASH ???
says it can't be installed on this device during installation :| Samsung Galaxy, GalaxHero Rom (root, android 1.5)
Yeah, not working
So, I tried getting this from the download area directly on my phone, and I downloaded the .apk and loaded it via mounted SD Card.
Neither worked. During Packake Installer, it just says it can't be installed.
I've got root access (I frequently use WiFi Tether. When I use Terminal Emulator and type "su" I get the "#" response). I did this through the ADB method on unlockr.com
Does it only work on certain versions of Android? I'm running 1.5 on my Sprint HTC Hero.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
found this via android spin. trying it out now...
Is this for font name to font-file mapping?
I get a FC on apply and restore.
Sorry for the late reply, I've been a bit busy the past couple of days!

Alright everyone, time for the Swype theme mania to gain some momentum once again! I have FINALLY figured out a way to theme our beloved Swype keyboard without violating Swype and XDA policies, while still making it a reasonable effort on your part. If you want these themes bad enough, I will include a tutorial here in the OP for you guys, as well as screenshots for each step of the way. I will create a Picasa album with the pictures in order from start to finish.
First off, here's the instructions to theme Swype with Metamorph, a free application on the Android Market.
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
QR Code for Metamorph at the Market
You have to be rooted for this to work, obviously. If you don't have root, then you have some learnin to do, but there are many users here on XDA who have simplified the process.
If your Swype apk is located in the /system/app/ folder to begin with, you do not have to move anything anywhere for this Metamorph to work for you.
Ok, there are two ways to approach this first step.
Picasa Album step by step: http://picasaweb.google.com/hoey2011/SwypeMetamorphTutorial
(Picasa Album photos #1-7)
One, is by using a paid application on the Market called Root Explorer. There are places to find it for free I'm sure, but I will not be responsible for that If this is not an option for you, then skip this portion, and head on to the Terminal Method section, or, if you use adb frequently, go to that section.
If you have this app, then open it, and navigate to the /data/app/ folder, where you will find the Swype .apk (com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk).
Long press this file and select copy. Press back twice, then navigate to /system/app/
Before you do anything, press the "R/W" button at the top. Then press the paste button located at the bottom left corner of the Root Explorer window. Change the system back to read only by pressing the "R/O" button.
--------------------------------------------
TERMINAL METHOD (Picasa Photos #8-15)
--------------------------------------------
Ok guys, if you don't have the option of using Root Explorer, I have the manual instructions on how to perform these steps, for those of you who don't already know how to do this.
Open your terminal emulator application, whichever one you prefer will work just fine.
Type these lines in order:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 system
cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/
ls /system/app/
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 system
sync
The "ls /system/app" line is to verify it copied correctly, as I have shown in my Picasa album
Then exit out of the terminal app, and continue on to the next section
======================
ADB METHOD
======================
Open cmd.exe on your computer, or the terminal you use for w/e OS you have on your computer.
Navigate to your sdk/tools/ folder and type this:
adb remount
adb shell cp /data/app/com.swype.android.inputmethod.apk /system/app/
if you are implementing a2sd, then replace /data/ with /sd-ext/
The file is now in the correct place, continue on
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Picasa photos #16-21)
Navigate to Metamorph, and follow all prompts to ensure it is running correctly. If it is not, then you need to go to the Metamorph thread to troubleshoot your problem.
Select extract/unzip new theme
Select your theme, which in this tutorial will be NakedSwype.zip
From there you will select apply all themes, and allow Metamorph to work it's magic. Go to a text field and long press to bring up the Select Input Method window. Boom, themed Swype!

HTC Swype
http://www.4shared.com/file/5y0Ck_BT/HTCSwype.html
=============================================
I will be adding more Morphs for the Swype beta asap
The reason you have to move Swype to the /system/app/ location is because when metamorph themes apps located in /data/app/ there is some sort of recognition problem beyond my understanding. If you are running a rom using A2SD like I am, just move it to internal storage temporarily for this theme method. In order to do that, follow the same instructions above, but replace /data/app/ with /sd-ext/app/ .
Any problems, just post a logcat and a detailed description of what's happening. If you apply this metamorph incorrectly, or try and modify it to work any other way, and lose Swype, NOT MY FAULT!
If you try this theme, and it just doesn't apply, then try cleaning out cache and dalvik-cache to give yourself enough space on /system/ to copy the files over. sometimes multiple attempts will even work
do we just install via root explorer or astro? because i was able to install but i dont have swype. or do i have to install that somewhere else?
hoey2011 said:
Ok, so when my Swype trial expired, I started looking for another working version like I was tryin to score a rock. But... my searches were fruitful, as I found a working version for both my friend and I, on my G1 and his Hero(CDMA). I will post the Non-Themed version for everyone as well as the Black/Blue theme I have.
Also, how to theme this version of Swype, although I've never tried on the other versions:
-Extract the apk onto your computer
-Navigate to /assets/keyboards/
-Theme these files as usual, thankfully none of theme are .9.png files
-Recompile the apk, resign, and install as usual.
No root should be required for this, but I posted this in development in case some ROM builders might want to integrate this marvelous keyboard in their own fashion!

screenshot?
tried installing thru adb & root explorer on supereclair 2.1..it wont install
Ok, "it won't install" isn't very specific. I don't know enough about Android to put together my own whole ROM, but I do know that logcats are EXTREMELY helpful. So, if you could either tell me the dialogue you get when "it won't install" or give me a logcat, I might be able to help you. Otherwise, please don't tell me it just won't work =/
Pretty sure you'll have to uninstall swype before installing this one. I've had trouble in the past installing swype while it was already installed.

Hm... instead of trying to just plain install this one, try installing it in /system/app, not /data/app.
This is how I do it:
From CMD -
1. adb shell
2. mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
3. cp /sdcard/BlackSwype.apk /system/app/com.swype.inputmethod.android.apk
4. mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
5. sync
6. reboot
I will leave more information in the OP about my setup. You can also do this in terminal for you root users.

Any chance you can theme it like the new Swype keyboard on the Mytouch Slide? I think its called black glass.
I will look into it now, see what I have to do to get it made up... could you point me in the direction of a screenshot or anything that would be helpful?

I'm still not entirely sure what it is you were having trouble with, but under to edit transparent .png's I use Photoshop. I'm sure there is a free image editor that will do the same thing. Personally, I love Photoshop because its so easy. I got mine free anyhow ^_^
Hi
This is for those who actually use Moxier mail to get that needed exchange fix!
I use exchange for my job, so I needed this one badly, and I would like the newest one with nice little widgets. Unfortunately this can not be done out of the box, because when you try to install the newest version, the installer still detects the old one.
The problem is that the package information is still present in the package.xml file.
To fix this, you need to have completed to rooting guide!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711907
Remember also to see post number two inside that thread, since su needs to be working properly. I can also recommend to download the latest version of busybox inside the Android Marked, this will provide you with mere unix/linux basic commands.
Another tool I use is SciTE, this is for editing the xml file, notepad will do, as long as you make sure to save as ASCII.
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scintilla/Sc212.exe
Ok, now for the guide.
Go into your step4 folder from the ROOT folder (see root thread)
run the following commands.
**UPDATE**
In case moxier still exist more actions is needed, this is now included in this one! Also added backup of the original files both moxier and packages.
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
adb shell
su
mkdir /sdcard/backup
cp /system/app/moxiermail* /sdcard/backup
rm /system/app/moxiermail*
Code:
adb pull /data/system/packages.xml .
You will now have a file named packages.xml inside your working folder.
Open this file inside you editor.
search for com.moxier.mail
delete the following content
Code:
<package name="com.moxier.mail" codePath="/system/app/moxier.apk" system="true" ts="1277719108000" version="2153" userId="10019">
<sigs count="1">
<cert index="61" key="long key number here!" />
</sigs>
</package>
Save the file.
Now We need to get the file onto the device.
Run
Code:
adb push packages.xml /sdcard/packages.xml
adb shell
su
cp /data/system/packages.xml /sdcard/backup/packages.xml
cp /sdcard/packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml
chown system:system /data/system/packages.xml
chmod 664 /data/system/packages.xml
rm /sdcard/packages.xml
reboot
Now you are free to install Moxier from market or from the official website, finally we can get the newest version instead of SEs old version.
** UPDATE 2 **
If moxier report an error with install after this, install the version from the /sdcard/apps/moxiermail.apk (from the root) or /sdcard/backup, then uninstall, this can now be done, since we removed the package from packages.xml as a system application. You should now be able to install moxier from market.
Feel free to ask any questions.
Just out of curiousity, does this allow you to upgrade the moxier client that came free on the phone, or just allow you to uninstall that and purchase a newer version of moxier for 30 bucks?

Unfortunately it is not possible to update the one provided by SE, even if you reinstall the application after the fix.
does it update to the lastest with step4 v2?

No, you have to get the latest Moxier from moxier.com, Android Marked or from another source if you already have paid for the application on another phone.
This method cleans the X10 from any moxier reference, so that the application can be installed in the user domain instead of a system app (where we can't update the applications without SE).
I had thought that changes firmware version to R2BA020 included updated moxier?
I'll try to steps after my 4th root. lol. I need exchange for work.
I'm on the stock firmware(with Rogers in canada.. don't remember what its called) and exchange works fine for me on Moxier... use it regularly at work so its pretty useful
Edit: Sorry, misread your post. The new version has widgets? Coool

I allready removed the Moxierfolder and tried to install 2.5 but it's still a system application. Your walkthrough doesnt work here because of that. What can I do?
I editted the packages.xml file by copying it to my sd card en editting it on the computer. When i want to replace the original xml file can i use the following code?
Code:
cp /sdcard/packages.xml /data/system/packages.xml
chown system:system /data/system/packages.xml
chmod 664 /data/system/packages.xml
rm /sdcard/packages.xml

Yes you can, as long you are root on your phone. After this, install the OLD version of moxier and uninstall it again, this will update all the phones databasen and you can now install the newest moxier.
What do these commands do?
chown system:system /data/system/packages.xml
chmod 664 /data/system/packages.xml
Cant I not just edit the file and then overwrite the old one with the new editted one using a file manager like Root explorer? Or do these commands do something to the file as well?
this sets the file permissions for the file, and yes, you need to set them in order to get it working.

You should do:
chown system.system /data/system/packages.xml
if you do chown system:system /data/system/packages.xml it will return:
"No such user system:system" as it won't detect the : as a separator between user and group.
Hope this helps some of you!
Speaking of the Moxier, do we actually need them? How do I remove / delete them? I tried, but couldn't, for some reasons.
If u don't use it then u don't ready need it. Your phone needs to be rooted in order to remove it!

Q: How could you guys access the control prompt panel? Or the code panel, whatever you called it nowadays?
The Transparent status bar will only show up if you use ADW launcher, for some reason Launcher Pro doesn't show it as transparent (but the theme does still work, and I am still not sure why)
I have modified the status bar and the background, but currently using the standard icons, and I haven't yet figured out how to change the network provider text and date text colours to change the full theme (will research this tomorrow)
Will be changing the icons fairly soon
Still, here is the very first, mod from me for the new custom ROM or the X10
The status bar for AOSP is using a gradient, I like it, but let me know if you think a solid transparent colour would be better...
(You can see it best from the last screen shot in the market)

For Custom ROM (AKA AOSP) :download the transparentAOSP.7z and unzip.
For SE Standard: download transparent.7z and unzip
From the unzipped location, run the transparent setup.cmd file and choose the options you want.
Please be sure to select the correct theme for the version of 2.1 you are running. If you flash the wrong one, you will need to reflash with SEUS or update manager.
I would also advise you take a full backup with titanium, just in case
Release:

Yes, you will.
I've used the super one click rooting method, as it is the best I have found so far, but if you root through another method makesure you install busybox and super user.
I have used Chewitt's installer from his theme, and modified it for my theme
Nice man
Added a link in the themes reference.
You might want to change 'Opaque' to 'Transparent' though

Yea, that's probably wise... I started with an opaque idea, that changed to transparent, but the names didn't

OK, from a windows command line, with the phone in debug mode, try the following:
adb shell <press enter>
su <press enter - assuming you have super user on your phone, you will get a request for super user permissions, click allow>
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system <press enter>

you will need to do this from a computer, rather than straight from your phone and for this I'm assuming you are using windows on your PC (I don't know the specifics for linux or mac OSX)
but, go to start and run, type 'cmd' and press enter. Then you will get the command line, then type as posted in the last post from me, then, finally, try to run the cmd file in the zip you downloaded from the first post.
again...
ok i run cmd n this come out after i typed adb shell ''adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.''

OK, do you have the Android SDK installed?
If you have, then you will need to change directory in the command window to the SDK path - e.g. should you install SDK in C:\Android-SDK_windows then type cd Android-SDK_windows
Then run the adb shell command from there.
If you need the SDK, download from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
There are also a few ADB guides around on the XDA forums that will have more details step-by-step guides and should help with trouble shooting
(for example, this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821022)
yup i have sdk n now ''chmod 4755 /system/bin/sh <press enter>'' not permitted

but the first line worked (so you are in adb shell and have been presented with the message on your phone asking to give unknown super user permissions)
Try taking a look at this guide (should help you through the whole process)

NEW CUSTOM ROM Here!!!
Hi. I have modified the "framework-res.apk" file in the system folder.
When downloaded, rename file to "framework-res.apk"
This is without the "twframework-res.apk MOD.
My "twframework-res.apk" only modifies the notification bar!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is with my "twframework-res.apk" and "framework-res.apk"
Note. My Screen Density is 100.
Screen Density at Normal 120.
What Changes (framework-res.apk):
Battery
RF Icons
Wifi Icons
GPS Icons
Download Strip
Selection Press
Power Menu Color
Default Background
Vibrate/Silent Icons
Menu Background Color
Menu Popup Text Color!
Text Box Shape (Rounded Edges)
Notification Boxes (Top is Sharp Edged)
Lock Screen Pattern Colors (Blue and Red)
What Changes (twframework-res.apk):
Everything in the Notification Bar (Drop Down)
Bugs:
Extra space at the beginning of CERTAIN Text Boxes FIXED
Clear Button for Notifications has the text on two lines (Working on it) FIXED
Download Strip Looks Weird. (I personally like it) Download something from the market to see what it looks like FIXED
How To Install
USE ADB!
When you download the framework-res.apk, put it in your adb tools folder.
Ex. C:\android\tools
Type in ADB command prompt.
Only if You downloaded twframework-res.apk!
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
exit
exit
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
[COLOR="Red"]adb push twframework-res.apk /system/framework/twframework-res.apk[/COLOR]
adb reboot
If You See This In ADB Command Prompt:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
Permission denied
$ mount: Operation not permitted
Go Here And Download Gsam101's Kernal --> See Post
Some items taken from Jedipottsy's beautiful ElegantSteel theme. See Post
Drop down bottom Notification Bar taken from a port of Manup456's NexTheme. See Post
If any bugs are found, please report!

That is so true! I believe Gsam101 is deodexing a ROM once the new kernel source is released.
That will help greatly with the framework-res.apk

Put this in the "tools" folder of adb.
You can also use a file explorer that has root permissions like Root Explorer. If I was you, I'd buy it. It's a very handy tool.

How did you get this Lock Screen + with player ? thanks
Hello, I wrote this shell script to make the CM7 nightly the way I like. It was a pain to do it manually every time I would flash a new nightly.
NOOB WARNING:
THIS SCRIPT IS FOR CM7 NIGHTLY ONLY. IT MAY WORK FOR OTHER CM7 BASED ROM BUT USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT DELETE SOME FILES ON THE /SYSTEM/APP AND MODIFY YOUR BUILD.PROP FILE. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DESTROY YOUR PHONE NOR IF YOUR PET DIES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
This script do this:
1) delete some APKs from /system/app that I don't need
/system/app/Camera.apk - replaced by Miui camera
/system/app/Calculator.apk - I use RealCalc
/system/app/FileManager.apk - I use Root Explorer
/system/app/Music.apk - I use the new Music App
/system/app/BooksPhone.apk - I don't use this
/system/app/Protips.apk - Useless
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) replace the boot animation with a sharper and bigger version (file size is bigger too)
The original boot animation size is too small for our screen. Some people could car less for this as you don't reboot your phone that often.
Original boot image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
New boot image:

3) replace the default camera for a Miui camera
We all know the AOSP camera sucks...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) backup and edit build.prop to display "Inspire 4G" as device name
Some people asked how it affect the market and so far so good for me.
I have no idea if automatic backup/restore from Google is working or not. I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps before I login with my Google account.

Things you will need:
1) Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A)
Free app. We will use this to run the script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) Script and other files - RAR version inspirefy_files_v1.1.rar or ZIP version: inspirefy_files_v1.1.zip
All the files needed for the magic to happen...
VERSION 1.1 UPDATE: If you already have the version 1.0 on your phone you can download the attached zip file from this post to update the script to version 1.1 - Just extract the zip file to /sdcard/inspirefy/ and replace the old 'inspirefy.sh' script.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How to install & use it:
1) Extract the inspirefy_files.rar (or inspirefy_files.zip) to the root of your sdcard (/sdcard).
You will have 2 new folders (or just 1 new folder is SL4A was already installed): /sdcard/inspirefy and /sdcard/sl4a
2) Install the sl4a on your phone and run it.
2a) Select "run-inspirefy.sh" from the main screen. If it's your first time running the script you must confirm the super user request.
3) After the script is done (about 2s) you can close SL4A and reboot your phone.
Done
You can edit the file /sdcard/inspirefy/inspirefy.sh with your preferred text editor to make any changes you would like, maybe you want to keep the Tips widget
Have fun!
Thanks to dog77k for the feedback and suggestions and everybody who is using this script.
Good stuff LGSilva. Will let you know how things go after I find a free method to extract the rar (don't use root explorer) or when I get to my desk...
Very cool and glad to see this. Nice job
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Just added a ZIP version for the necessary files in case you want to do this on your phone.
forgive me, but I've never ran a script on android before. I loaded up the folders on the root of my sdcard, installed SL4A and ran it. Superuser didn't ask for permissions. Also, I can't figure out how to run what I need to. Help?

When you ran the script did you get the terminal window output with something like this?
Code:
Inspirefy 1.0 by LGSilva
Remounting system partition rw...
Deleting apk files and boot animation...
Copying new boot animation and camera...
Setting permitions and ownership...
Backuping build.prop and changing device name...
Remounting system partition as ro...
DONE
.
The text is tiny but you can read it. Is there any error message on the terminal window?
Check the superuser app, sometimes it will have the SL4A marked to deny root...
Edit: Just testing on build 103... looks like SL4A is not happy with this build, time to investigate.

They (nightly forum) are saying that the SU app is jacked on 103...
Nightly build #103 have a problem with Superuser not working right therefor my script won't work either.
To fix this download the Superuser from Rom Manager > Extras, reboot in recovery and install it.

Yep, you beat me to that, I blame the internet
Two suggestions/hints for the inspirefy.sh code:
"chown root.root /sys..." gave me an unknown user/group error, but "chown 0.0 /sys..." worked for me.
I was getting an error when trying to remount /system as ro that it was still busy so I added a 2 sec pause before trying to remount:
Code:
echo -e "Remounting system partition as ro...\n"
sleep 2
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
echo -e "DONE.\n"
Otherwise the code worked well for me. Great work LGSilva.
I was having problems with SU thats why lol I'll fix it and try this again and update when I'm done

Thank you dog77k for the suggestions.
I've updated the script with them and also added a 2sec pause after mounting it as RW just in case...
Files with version 1.1 updated on the first post, no need to reinstall SL4A.
tested and seemed to run just fine on build 104. thanks for the awesome script! very cool
Thank you!
+1 to both of you, thanks for the great scripting solution.
