Just flash through your recovery and poof!
BE SURE TO MAKE A NANDROID before flashing this!!
Thanks to Heyitslou for pointing me in the right direction for which files to edit, Myn for putting together the flashable zip, and chris7os for testing everything out.

This is NOT a flashable zip. It just contains the Phone.apk, HTCDialer.apk, com.htc.resources.apk files that you can push to your phone using adb. It would be great if someone could make this into a flashable zip for me.

I dunno if this would help, but what worked for me doing my boot animations is I would find a pre-existing flashable .zip (search around for other themed dialers that utilize the same 3 files) and frankenstein my stuff into the pre-existing .zip file, repackage and voila! A flashable .zip! As always, nandroid first of course, but if, like me, you haven't dug (Wow, did I just try and type "digged"? I must be tired!) deep enough to understand what all the files in the flashable .zip DO, this way works fairly well in my experience, just watch your compression method and always keep the original so you can compare the compression ratios.

Ok not sure if this zip file will work but you can try. BE SURE TO MAKE A NANDROID before flashing this. I have not tested it. If it doesnt work just extract Phone.apk, HTCDialer.apk, and com.htc.resources.apk from the file and push it to system/app using adb

...And it didn't work. At all. Tried installing through recovery without wiping, then tried with wiping, and no good. Guess I'll try pushing the files manually. Ah crap, I'm at work and can't use ADB. Anyone know if I can push the files manually using root explorer, terminal emulator or gscript?

=/. i gave it a try...lol hopefully we can find someone to make a working flashable zip. would make things a lot easier for everyone.

My phone really did not like it when I tried root explorer. Not at all. It got very angry and started vibrating uncontrollably. But it did give me a chance to use a new trick I learned last night: If you hold down power, volume down and the optical trackpad at the same time then release them, your phone will reboot. No more battery pulls! It doesn't reboot you into recovery, it's just like rebooting from the power menu.
Guess I'll have to wait till I get home to use ADB....suck.

hahaha you better whip your phone into shape! but yeah i read about that little trick a few days ago. its pretty cool. hopefully someone will be able to make a working flashable zip..

That would be "incredible".....yes, pun intended.

I have put the Phone and Dialer apk's into a flashable zip, and put the com.htc.resources into a metamorph theme so that it will not change any other theme that you might have on your phone.
Download both files to your SD card. The first file that you will install is Redemtion_Dialer_Clockworks.zip. Just use rom manager to install this file, and as always make a back-up of your current rom before you do anything else.
After you have installed the first file, you will need to to install Redemtion_Dialer_Metamorph.zip using Metamorph. Right after you install this file, you will get a force close of com.android.vending and might get a force close of Metamorph upon exiting Metamorph, just reboot the phone if it does not do it on its own and your are done.
Let me know if you run into any problems along the way.

Thank you. Has anyone comfirmed its working so i can add it to the OP?

Here is the Phone and Dialer apk’s that you will flash first. Just use rom manager to install it, and as always make a back up of your current rom before you do anything else.

Here is the metamorph theme that you will install after installing the phone and dialer apks. Right after you install, you will get a force close of com.android.vending and might get a force close upon exiting metamorph, just reboot the phone if it does not do it on its own and your are done.

Just remove the XX in each link and replace with tt, sorry I still can’t post links. Let me know if you run into any problems along the way. I plan on putting this all into one metamorph file and also adding a factory restore option later today when I get time.

Not working for me. Downloaded the three files, installed the phone.apk and htcdialer.apk's through recovery just fine, but when I try to extract the theme zip using metamorph, it gives me this error message:
"the theme you selected is invalid because the theme control file could be missing, or it is not correctly written. contact the developer"
Help!
So.....I'm up for using ADB. Anyone know the commands?

i feel like adb is also easier.. lol
here are the commands:
adb push HTCDialer.apk /system/app/HTCDialer.apk
adb push Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk
And heres the files...http://www.mediafire.com/?nayjy3e6xvndt2a

[Q] Dark notification bar for 2.2

Does anyone still have instructions/required files for changing the notification bar on a 2.2 Droid X?
Before it is linked, I have already looked at teenfaces' thread; if you look, you'll notice that teenfaces has edited the initial post (presumably where the instructions were).
Just to cover all of my bases, I have tried the pre-2.2 post. (A boot loop says it doesn't work.)
Any suggestions?

If that is what you mean by notification bar, then changing that is pretty simple. I modify mine almost everyday. If you are rooted and have ninjamorph. The file is in System/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi and is called status_bar_background.png. Simply modify that in photoshop, save as png and swap out with ninjamorph.
Alternatively I'm sure you could pull this out with adb. Commands would be
adb pull system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png
then modify and save over that file
then adb push status_bar_background.png system/Framework/Framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/status_bar_background.png
then reboot.

That is what I mean.. However, in teenfaces' pre-2.2 post, it mentions changing the services.jar file.. Which is why I thought that simply changing the background image in the framework apk wouldn't work.
I have no experience with Ninjamorph. I'm not going to even try to play it off - I've only recently decided to take the plunge and root. (And I only decided to root because I wanted to change the font, phone-wide.) So, I'm pretty new to all of this.

Well welcome to theming. I am new to this as well. I have a few things on my modifying to-do list that I am completely stuck at. I will test out the adb codes I just posted and let you know for sure before you attempt.
{EDIT}Ok, this is best done with ninjamorph. I just tried through adb and got stuck in a bootloop. In photoshop create a document thats 480 x 770. This will be your statusbar background. Do what you want to it and save it as status_bar_background.png on your sd card where you can find it. I keep mine in a folder called THEMES.
In ninjamorph (free from market) Select:
Start Checks (will ask for root)
New Project
System
framework
framework-res.apk (it will extract the files)
res
drawable-hdpi
status_bar_background.png
then select the file you created from your sd card
hit the back button until you are on the main ninjamorph screen
select finish project
select framework-res
click yes
click no
click yes
it will reboot
when you reboot you may get a forceclose
hold your power button and reboot again
have fun!

I'm impatient. -Blush.- I decided to give it a try myself. I just grabbed the framework-res.apk (that way I'll have a backup copy if something goes wrong. However, the code you posted didn't work. Turns out, the path should be /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Anywho. I'm interested in modifying the images for the battery, etc. I'm hoping to find those images in the framework-res.apk (I haven't looked yet.) Any words of caution before modifying those as well?

just make backups before attempting changing system files. I really do think ninjamorph takes the guess work out of a lot of things. I didn't have good luck pushing my framework-res.apk back in adb and that may be because of the rom I'm using. But there are lots of good batteries floating around on these forums. Good luck

Thanks for getting me started in the right direction!

You need to edit services.jar to change your font color to white. There is a video on youtube showing how to do this. Then the images are in the framework-res.apk open it with 7zip and move the new images into the .apk then boot to clockwork and push it with adb while in clockwork recovery. Then reboot. It should work, if not post back and I am sure someone here will try to help.
The actual .png for the status bar is statusbar_background.9.png. Since I don't know how to compile my own .9 png's I usually borrow somelses.

There is two files almost the same name. But the one I edited and got my name and fox logo on was Status_bar_Background.png... NOT the .9.png
Thats how it is on my rom anyways. I am realizing I have different system files than many people on here.

do you need to be deodexed for this to work? I've tried it twice now, and no dice.

you know what, i'm sorry guys, I didnt even consider that. I am running ApeX 1.3.1. which is a deodexed rom. That may have to do with some of the trouble you guys are running into.

I haven't tried anything yet (other than pulling the framework-res.apk). I'm still doing research. From what I've read, though, you definitely have to be deodexed.
I plan on attempting it this week.. If all goes well, I intend on writing some instructions up. In the meantime, if anyone else gets it done, feel free to post some helpful pointers!
Just so I'm clear, what I want to do is modify the notification bar and pull-down without using a rom.

I deodexed and tried a third time, still nothing. I think I'm deodexed that is. Is there any test to know for sure if your deodex process worked for sure? I used the OTA Auto-Deodex
to expand on part of your instructions
yes
no
yes
the actual questions I get are
Confirm action - overwrite with finished project -yes
confirm action - zip align -no
reboot phone - OK (no yes or no option)
and then only once did i get a last yes/no about cleaning up files. i said yes.
are these the correct answers? and on the hit back button until main ninjamorph menu, is that the phone back button, or the on screen back button?

[MOD] HoneyComb Look: Bootanimation | Lock Screen

Hey guys just wanted to share something that I found on the other device forums on XDA
PLEASE MAKE A FULL XRECOVERY/NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE TRYING ANY SYSTEM MODIFICATIONS LIKE THIS
[1] BootAnimation [works on all ROMs]
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
I dont know if it has been posted here before but here is the boot animation from Honeycomb, tailored for our screen sizes.
P.S.: this is not created/modified by me, I had found it while browsing on the other Android forums @ XDA but I cant recollect from which thread I downloaded this...
check attached files XOOM_Honeycomb.rar
there are landscape and portrait versions... i prefer the landscape one
[2] Lock Screen [works on CM6/ CM7 mods, DOESNOT work with 2.1]
This is from: Lockscreen Mod for CM7 (Honeycomb Wannabe Lockscreen) by bizdady
all credit goes to him, great job dude!!!
please read the first post of that thread completely before proceeding
for this lockscreen u will need a few thigs:
*** if you dont know how to push/pull files from device visit the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842060
A) Clock font
Download the attached file "honeycomb_lockscreen_clockfont.zip" place it on the root of ur SDCARD and flash it via xRecovery, reboot...
B) "Lock" button
{Method 1} Automated (havent tried this myself by is suggested by the OP of that thread)
To get the lock follow the part on "Metamorph Instructions" given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959602 thread and for X10...
If your not sure about which version your phone uses just use Astro or any other file manager and take a look at your /system/framework-res.apk file. Browse file the file and navigate over to the /res folder and you will see a drawable folder with either hdpi or hdpi-v4. Proceed to download whichever version your rom uses.
incase its HDPI the d/l this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vchfnuiekvi3syi/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI.zip...
incase its HDPI-v4 the d/l this file: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7tqgs778yeawbqm/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI-v4.zip
further instructions are given in above mentioned thread.
{Method 2} Manual-round-about-way (this is what I followed and works on FreeX10-Beta4+CM6 settings; should also work on CM7)
1> pull the file "framework-res.apk" from the /system/framework/ of ur current ROM, and make a copy of this file as a backup incase something goes wrong
2> extract the contents of the "Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI.zip" file stated above into another folder on ur computer. u will the get the following folders: framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi & framework-res\res\drawable-land-hdpi
3> open the "framework-res.apk" which you got from step 1 in WinRAR http://www.rarlab.com/ (this is wht i used), browse to framework-res.apk\res\ within WinRAR and copy the contents from the folders u got from step 2 to into the corresponding folders, i.e. files from framework-res\res\drawable-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) into framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) and files from framework-res\res\drawable-land-hdpi (or hdpi-v4) into framework-res.apk\res\drawable-land-hdpi (or hdpi-v4), within winrar window [while adding the files winrar will through up a window titled "Archive name and parameters" in this MAKE SURE THAT THE COMPRESSION METHOD IS CHANGED IT TO "STORE", after that click OK, the files will be replaced/added to the apk file]
4> once all files have been replaced, push the modified "framework-res.apk" to /system/framework/ on ur device. [they phone may reboot, but thats normal no need to panic]
* Incase either of these methods dont work just post ur framework-res.apk file here and i will do the necessary modifications n post it back...
Enjoy the Honeycomb look for your LockScreen!!!

Heres a flashable zip of the clock font only.

I'm on Free X10 beta 4, CM 6 (something). And lockscreen isn't applied with metamorph. It's just saying applying theme, but nothing happens.
When I tried to apply lockscreen manually, phone restarts and at some point bootscreen hangs, green led stays on and phone vibrates continiusly - so it's bricked.
I did get to recover system files with xrecovery.
But my question is, do I have to apply CM 7? Isn't there a way to use it on CM 6 or is this baseband problem, because my baseband version is 55.
I understanded that it works with CM 6 too.
Sorry for my bad English.

1stly i myself havent tried the Metamorph method...
manual method doesnt work? thats odd.. cause i am myself using FreeX10-beta4 + CM6 settings (on baseband 2.1.55) and manual way works flawlessly... sorry that ur device got bricked @ boot...
no no u dont need to apply CM7 (thats based on GB, a totally diff OS version 2.3.x)... it should work on CM6...
do one thing since u have got ur current system running just pull the framework-res.apk file from /system/framework/ and post it here (use some compression software, e.g.: winrar)... i will modify it and post it back...
btw did the clock font atleast change? and wht abt the bootscreen?

Clock font worked flawlessly, bootscreen I haven't tried.
Btw I pulled framework-res.apk with root explorer. Framework-res.apk is in attachment.

i think i figured out the problem... the framework-res.apk which u posted is HDPI-v4 based as compared to HDPI (for which the link was posted in main post)... if u want to try the Metamorph method again try it with this file: HDPI-v4: http://www.mediafire.com/file/7tqgs778yeawbqm/Honeycomb_Lock_HDPI-v4.zip
anyways i had modified it to work for ur framework-res.apk... its attached here...
let me know if it works...

Yeah, I know that I need HDPI-v4. And I tried with HDPI-v4 metamorph - it didn't work. I tried with HDPI too and it didn't work either.
I'm gonna try your modifyed framework.
Your modifyed framework didn't work too. Again it just hanged in bootscreen. And again I restored to same point.

em ok... I am out now will create a recovery package when I get back

Give it a go then. Personally I hate 3rd party lockscreen apps as there is always that 1 sec lag for me, I have no knowledge of this app but it looks like another theme. Doubt you can move it around like the real honeycomb lock.

I tryed this app. There is a privew from honeycomb. You can move it around, but clock keeps moving around too. And if I press 2x back button, it just goes to homescreen. So it's too buggy.
And I don't really like 3rd party lockscreen too. So i sick with your lockscreen. It's really good looking.

[MOD] Customize Sense 3.0 Lockscreen Background [How To + Requests!!]

Hi everyone!!
I saw that there were threads on customizing the lockscreen rings but there were none on changing the background in the Sensation forums
So.......
Here's a tutorial on how you can edit the background on the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen!!
First and Foremost, DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!! I am not responsible for any mistakes that you make or if anything happens to your phone.
Now we can start the tutorial!!
Download the m10 tools from here
Using Root Explorer (Or any other file explorer) go to system/app and copy the IdleScreen_Weather.apk to your sdcard.
Copy this apk to your computer and open m10editor.exe
You could also directly PULL the apk from your phone:
adb pull /system/app/IdleScreen_Weather.apk will pull the file to whatever directory you open the command prompt from
(Thanks to NRGZ28 for giving this suggestion)
Once the m10 program has opened up, click on load and browse to the IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Once it has loaded, go to the m10 files tab and select the decode images box on the bottom.
Double click on Lockscreen_weather_bg.m10 and it will ask you if you wish to decompile it. Click on yes and wait for it to decompile.
Now you will be brought to another tab where you can see Textures. Under this you will see 3 more textures.
Click on any one of the textures and you will see the background image. Right click the image and click on Show in Explorer.
The folder containing the png will open up. Replace that image with your image making sure that the file you are copying has EXACTLY the SAME name.
NOTE: Your png should be exactly 540x960. Also you will have to invert your picture vertically. This can be done with any photo editing program. I use Photoshop for this.
Then once you have replaced all the 3 background with whatever pictures you want, go back to the m10 program and go to the Start tab. Here you can link the path to the Android SDK if you have so that you can zipalign it and push it to your phone. Then tick the Zipalign APK box(Only do so if you have linked the Android SDK to the program). Then click on save.
If you didnt link the Android SDK to the app, you can still manually zipalign it. In order to do so, download the Android SDK and browse to the tools folder.
Open a cmd window here.
Type:-
zipalign -f -v 4 (name and path of your file).apk outfile.apk
Rename the new apk that has been created from outfile.apk to IdleScreen_Weather.apk
Now you can either push this apk to your phone or copy and paste it using Root Explorer ( or any other file explorer) or you can make a flashable zip out of it.
To make a flashable zip, download the blank update.zip that i have attached in this post. Then open it with winrar or winzip etc.. and then copy the apk file into the system/app folder in the update.zip
DO NOT EXTRACT the update.zip
Then you can flash this zip file normally from recovery.
Also make sure that if you are copying the file to the system/app, set the permissions as RW-R--R
Now reboot and enjoy your new lockscreen background!!
This will also work for the Friendstream, Stocks or any other lockscreens. Only the file name will be different.
I will be taking requests, so if you want any particular background just attach the pictures and i will make it for you as soon as possible
This is a modification of McLabia's thread in the Thunderbolt Forums. A huge thanks to him for making such an amazing tutorial!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160206
Thanks to Lee for his awesome Leedroid ROM!!
Thanks to Flemmard and DiamondBack2010 for their m10 tools!
A big thanks to all the other devs on xda!!
If I've missed out anyone who has contributed to this, please tell me and i will add their names.

if u want i can make a lock ring like that for u. Give me an hour

If u would mind thanks cheers buddy

It would be easier to PULL the file from your phone with ADB, than bother with root explorer (which not everyone has, as it's a paid app).
adb pull /system/app/Idlescreen_Weather.apk will pull the file to whatever directory you open the command prompt from

thats weird.. did it cause a boot loop or the lock ring remained same as the stock one?
Try manually mounting /system before flashing
EDIT: im really sorry about that... there was a small error in the updater-script... ive reuploaded all the other mods and they should work fine now...
btw were you able to get it working with root explorer??

It remained the same buddy try with root exsplora and when booted hole lock screen missing

Have you tried manually mounting /system in recovery and then flashing?
Otherwise if it still doesnt work ill reupload it.

Ok it worked by mounting system buddy

if u hvnt rooted yet, then its better to look into the Sensation development section and then follow my steps

Hi there.. thanks for that awesome tutorial but I have a question..
If I want to create a single Image in the stock lockscreen, which file would I have to chose? LockScreen_Stock.apk??
Because I tried it with that one but it didn't work..
Thanks for your answer, and keep going (Y)

Yes you have to edit the lockscreen_stock.apk
when u load the apk in m10 tools, choose the m10 as the one which has _bg in it. There u will see the PNG file which you have to replace.
Btw, try mounting /system in recovery before flashing...
If that still doesn't work out, upload the pic here and ill do it for u

[MOD] Apple Color Emoji system-wide for KitKat+ (updated with unicorns)

Screenshot:

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

"lightbox_download": "Download",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To install:
Grab AppleColorEmoji.ttf and place it into /system/fonts/
Set /system/fonts/AppleColorEmoji.ttf to have permissions 644 (rw-r--r--) and owner:group root:root.
Modify /system/etc/fonts.xml like so:
Find
Code:
<family>
<font weight="400" style="normal">NotoSansSymbols-Regular-Subsetted.ttf</font>
</family>
Above this block, add
Code:
<family>
<font weight="400" style="normal">AppleColorEmoji.ttf</font>
</family>
Set /system/etc/fonts.xml to have permissions 644 (rw-r--r--) and owner:group root:root.
Reboot.
(Thanks cclaxx for mentioning permissions!)
Old stuff:
Not sure if this has been done before, but here is my work.
Screenshots (warning: large)
You get my point. They work the same way KitKat's colour emojis work.
What I did:
Asked someone (jakew02 on #cyanogenmod-dev) to help me grab Apple Color Emoji.ttf off an OS X 10.9 system.
Used code available here to extract the PNG files from the TTF file's SBIX table.
Used fonttools (ttx) to create an empty TTF file based on the original Apple Color Emoji.ttf and this template by Google
Used this code by Google to add the extracted PNGs into the empty TTF file in CBDT/CBLC (the OpenType extension Google created) tables
Took the resulting TTF file and threw it into /system/fonts/, modifying /system/etc/fallback_fonts.xml accordingly
And it works. This is unlikely to work on versions of Android pre-KitKat, unless support for CBDT/CBLC tables in font files is present (or backported from KitKat).
Update: No need to do all this anymore. Later versions of Android support sbix out of the box. Just adjust the platEncID/platformID in the cmap of AppleColorEmoji.ttf.
The font size and kerning (all the emojis are the same size!) doesn't seem all that great, but someone who knows fonts better can fix that using ttx. If anyone wishes to create a flashable zip for this, please do so.
Update: I've updated this for the iOS 9.1/unicorn emoji. Details here
Update: ligatures (mostly) now work. details
Thank Google for deciding to implement colour emoji (and releasing their tools for creating those fonts too!) in KitKat, because they essentially did all the work.

Looked for it great
How did you do the fourth step?
im running windows and couldnt launch it.
I want to port Touchwiz Smileys to KitKat.
Those looking best :fingers-crossed:

Use Python 2.7.
I did this all on Linux, so I'm not sure if this can be done on Windows or not. But since all the tools are written in Python, I'd imagine that it can with minimal effort.

Hi, I have just tried this on Android 4.4.2 (root, stock kernel & ROM) and it didn't work although I have followed your guide step-by-step. Any thoughts?

Also didnt work for me. Omni rom 4.4.2

Sadly it also doesn't work for me! Please could you try fixing it? I love the idea!

guys maybe the problem are the permissions. you must set both files to rw-r-r otherwise it does not work.

Maybe someone should create a flashable zip to make this easier tho
EDIT:
I quickly tried to make a flashable zip. Never did this before so I'm not sure if I did it right. Maybe someone can check it and tell me if everything should work
I took the update-binary from CM11 because I wasn't sure if the older one from the tutorial I read would work.

I don't know if it works and if it doesn't I am not responsible for any damage done to your devices. I just hope someone here who has more experience than me can check it out and confirm if it works

work for jellybean also??

Great work.
Is the update via zip reversible?
If so, I'm willing to give it a try.

Firstly, BIG THANKS to Angelsel, FusionAlex and cclaxx!
If you don't want to use the zip, simply download it and then extract the files (TTF and XML) out of the /etc and /fonts directories.
Summary of instructions:
1. Backup your fallback_fonts.xml file on your phone (found at: /system/etc/fallback_fonts.xml)
2. Copy the new fallback_fonts.xml into the /system/etc/ directory.
3. Set fallback_fonts.xml's file permissions to rw-r--r--
4. Copy the AppleColorEmoji.ttf into the /system/fonts/ directory. (Don't worry about overwriting anything, because this is a new file, it doesn't overwrite any of your other fonts).
5. Set AppleColorEmoji.ttf's file permissions to rw-r--r--
6. Reboot your phone.
7. Enjoy
The reason you don't have to overwrite any actual fonts is because the fallback_fonts.xml has been amended to look at the new (AppleColorEmoji.ttf) font before checking the standard android ones.

Well I'm not sure. It's possible that it won't even flash because I might have done something wrong. In fact it should of course be reversible because the only thing it's supposed to do is copy the 2 files and fix the permissions of them. Still I'd rather have someone who knows how those zips work take a look at it before someone tries it, because I don't have any experience
EDIT:
I took another look at some more recent flashable zips and changed some stuff again. I also decided to upload the unsigned zip in case someone wants to edit the zip and sign it
http://ge.tt/8kOOWOB1?c
EDIT 2:
OK, I think, that my zip would also work, but I found an app called ZIPme and created a flashable zip with it. It works perfectly (I just tested it on my phone)
So finally:
Enjoy this flashable zip of this amazing mod:

Ge.tt and Amazon S3 seems to hate me. I can't download your original zip.
The second zip will work fine, but there is no need to set permissions - extract_dir's default permissions (and file ownership) are already correct. This zip sets the owner/group to 1000/1000 (system, iirc) which is not correct; the files should be owned by root (uid/gid 0, naturally).
Thanks for creating a flashable zip

This is really good but the font seems to be incomplete. I get messages that just show a square instead of the emoji in the notification bar.
