Here is a quick guide to changing Fonts in a ROM. This has worked in every Sense ROM I have tried, I have not tried in NON-Sense ROMs.
I can not take credit for the Programs/Files used. I did not make them. This is just a quick tutorial. If you are looking for a way to change the Fonts in a ROM, other than the included font, or the Stock Font, here is what I did successfully.
1. Download the Stock Fonts zip from here. Stock Font
2. Download "Font Selector v1.4" from this link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...04&postcount=1
3. unzip the Font selector file. Inside, you will find a file "Font Selector" open this file and open the "Fonts" file. You can browse through each fonts file and double click on one of the .ttf files to see a preview. When you find the font you want, leave that folder open.
4. Using winrar, leave the "Stock Fonts" file zipped and double click the file. Winrar will let you work in the file while leaving it zipped. Go into the Font folder and replace all the files with all the files in the font folder of your choice from Font selector.
5. Save the changes in winrar.
6. Re-sign the zip file, then load it to your sdcard. For info how to sign a zip, go to this link - http://androidforums.com/49232-post1.html (Rest assured, this is VERY easy. I did this while I was a complete NOOB here.)
7. Flash the zip through recovery.
Hope this helps.
Just adding, as it was pointed out in another thread, you can also use a program called "Type Fresh", Free in the Market, to change fonts. There is no preview in the type fresh program, so it will be trial and error, till you find a font you are happy with.
Also, the link for re-signing zips, is not just specific to this procedure. Once you follow the steps in that link, you can re-sign ANY zip files that need signing. Amon_RA recovery requires zips to be signed in order to flash them to the phone, and some developers don't sign the files. After you do the steps in the link, if you have a problem flashing a file in Amon_RA, right click the zip and select "Resign zip"
For font selector i just run the font_selector.bat while my phone is plugged in....changes it easily..

That's cool. I tried a few times with font_selector.bat, and kept getting error messages, which caused me to try to find a different way. If Font Selector works fine, for people, that is much easier. I just added this to help if people have problems using it.
This is a very basic guide to beginning themeing. It is not meant to be all-inclusive, just some simple steps that can be taken to make your own custom theme fairly easily. This guide should allow anyone to be able to grab images they like from any ROM and incorporate them into their own.
I SUGGEST YOU ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF ANY FILE BEFORE YOU THEME IT AND NANDROID FIRST BEFORE FLASHING
Here is a basic overview of changing images in an apk:
1. Get your base file to theme – framework-res.apk, com.htc.resources.apk, phone.apk ect.
2. “Open” apk archive with 7-zip (don’t unzip!) and drag and drop the new images into the appropriate folder.
3. Flash new file.
Now some details:
1. The first step is to obtain the file you are going to theme. The file you are themeing ( i.e. going to flash to your phone) must come from the ROM you are currently running. Always use files from your current ROM as a base, however the images you want to change can come from other ROMs, or you can edit existing ones or make your own from scratch. You can obtain your theme base through an ADB pull of the files from your phone, or simply downloading the ROM zip file and extracting the files you need.
2. Now that you have the file to theme, don’t touch it! OK, more specifically, you won’t unzip or do anything to this file except “open” it with 7-zip (unless this is a market app, but more on that later). You are going to drag and drop the new icons into this file by “opening” it and navigating to the appropriate folder. The images you want to change are stored in the apk under /res/drawable-hdpi. Once you have your new icons from other sources, open your base file and navigate to this folder and drop them in.
3. Now you can flash this new file. I have provided empty zip files that you can place your themed files into and flash in recovery. Place your framework-res.apk and/or com.htc.resources.apk into the /system/framework folder located in the zip file provided. Now highlight the META-INF and system folders and zip them up. You can now place this file on the root of your SD card and flash. System apps can be placed under /system/app in the zip file.
Some more info on common themeable files:
Framework-res.apk – this is the meat and potatoes of a theme. On an AOSP ROM it will contain almost everything you want to theme aside from individual apps themselves. Sense ROMs have another file com.htc.resources.apk, as well as framework-res.apk. Both of these files are located in a ROM under /system/framework.
System apps: These apps come packaged in a ROM under /system/apps. They can be themed in the same manner as a framework apk. Some of these apps include Gmail, browser, camera, ect. Place them in your flashable zip under the folder /system/app.
Market apps: These apps are downloaded from the market and are can be pulled from your phone from /data/app. These files require a bit more to theme. They don’t share the same signature as the system apps and you must resign them using a program such as apkmanger. Place them in your flashable zip under /data/app.
If there are any errors, or if anyone has suggestions please let me know. I may have over looked some details, ect.
Thanks to everyone on XDA who has shared their knowledge and made this a great community!
Thanks that will be helpful

so using this guide we can pull parts and what not from other elements of themes we like and create our own framework to push back? Also, based on what you have, shouldn't it be easy to put this up on bid for hire (?) website to create a program to automate that?

No prob. Let me know if it works for you.
I couldn't get the auto signing to work, but the manual way of doing it worked.
Hmm, I got a boot loop on first try and doing this. Does that mean something went wrong with the signing, or that what I created for the theme was wrong? I used the empty .zip folder and re-zipped it, so I don't think that is the issue.

The signing should be ok. If you are using Amon_ra recovery it wont let you flash an unsigned zip I believe. Are you on sense or AOSP? Are you editing images or just copying from other ROMs?
What you might want to do is just create a simple test file. Change just one image and then flash that. That should let you know that your process is correct.
I using Amon Ra and using AOSP. I was moving some items out of a sense ROM so I guess that is where I might have went wrong. I think I'll take your advice and move just a single image and see how that works for me. Thanks!
I tried again this time I ended up stuck at the EVO white screen. I'm guessing it doesn't like the sense part I'm trying to throw in there. I'll have to try again with a AOSP theme instead.

A couple things to look out for when swapping sense/CM icons - some file names are slightly different between sense and AOSP. Rename any sense icons to their AOSP counterparts and vice versa. Also, double check the image size of the icon is the same in both, i.e. 70x70 pixels, ect. and make sure you are not adding images that don't exist normally in the framework. For example there wont be any 4G icons in CM framework.
Also, make sure you aren't unzipping the new framework-res.apk you want to theme and flash, or trying to resign it. Only sign the flashable zip, not the individual files inside. The only thing you want to do with the framework-res.apk you will package and flash is open (not unzip) with 7-zip and navigate to the res/drawable-hdpi folder so you can drag and drop the new icons into it, overwriting the old.
I hope that helps!
How important is it to re-sign? I have modified the Framework and Resources apks with 7zip by switching images out. I have also modified the Rosie.apk. I put everything back where it was supposed to go, backed out of 7-zip and flashed. I have never had an issue with it, nor have I re-signed it. Just wondering.

AFAIK if you are on clockwork recovery, I don't think it checks for signatures. I think Amon_ra requires a signed file to flash. I think it's just added protection against flashing any old junk. If you can flash in amon_ra without a signature and you don't have problems then I wouldn't worry about it. It's the signature of the framework-res.apk ( or com.htc.resources.apk) that's important. That's why you don't unzip it.
I think that
1.7.0.2 = yes
1.8 = no

Thanks, any advice does help.
I did make sure the the icons I was swapping out were named the same thing in the CM ROM, but I didn't check the size of it at all.
I didn't unzip the famework-res.apk but instead just went into it with 7-Zip and dragged the icons into that. Then I backed out of 7-Zip so that it would save and close everything properly - know that does work because that is how I add the Fold transistions to the ROM - and then I put the famework-res.apk into the folder and zip it up per your instructions above. Then I manually sign it (still haven't been able to get the auto-signing to work) and then flash.
I'll have to try again moving a CM theme to the CM framework-res.apk and see if it is working. What I was attempting to do was take, from the Batman Theme for sense, the drop down notification shade with the Bat Icon and put it into the CM ROM. I don't know if you have time to try it yourself to see if it works, or if you get the same issues that I had.
Either way, thanks for the help! I know I'll get this theming down at some point!

Hey buddy.
I’m stuck. I had to download and install Eclipse with the sdk plus java. I don’t know where to go from there. Every time I open the rom that I want to theme and get the framework.apk and edit the PNG’s , how do I go about saving them? Do I just used the same name as the old ones or I have to save them with a new name.
Or pm Me.

So the new amon_ra doesn't require a signed file to flash? I'll make a note off that. Thanks.

So now you have an unzipped framewor-res.apk with a bunch of images. This framework should be the one that you want to take icons from. If not, start over with the ROM you want to copy images from. You will want to copy the images you want to put into another ROM so that you can dump them into the new framework-res.apk. After you figure out what icons you want to bring to your new framework, get a clean version of framework/com.htc from the ROM you are actually running - i.e. if you are running myn ROM on your phone, download the myn ROM and pull out the framework-res.apk or com.resources.apk that you are going to theme.
Now with this fresh clean framework you will "open" it with 7-zip to navigate to the /res/drawable-hdpi folder so you can now drag and drop the images you want to copy over into it. Then the close the 7zip window and your framework-res.apk is all set to flash. You don't need to rename if the file names are the same, you can just drag and drop and the files will be overwritten in the new framework.
Hey, I just discovered a way to get a theme's default wallpaper without asking for it to the developer, I'm sorry if this is obvious for you and this thread is completely unnecessary, but I think it's an interesting point to look at
Ok, let's go
- First, open the zip of the theme with winrar or something similar
- Without unzipping, go to system>framework and unzip only framework-res.apk
- Now, again, open the apk extracted with winrar
- Look for res>drawable-hdpi and there you will find the default_wallpaper.jpg
Unzip that, put it in your phone and enjoy
NOTE:If you don't find in that folder the wallpaper you wanted, you can also look for it in another folder in res called "drawable". Look again for default_wallpaper.jpg
Hi, thanks for this useful post. I know this is an old one but i didn't want to open a new topic.
I want to get the other stock wallpapers of i9003 itself has. (For example, the green one). What should i do? I found only one wallpaper in that directory, not all of them.

Use a root file browser in your phone,
Go to system/app/TwWallpaperChooser.apk
View the files, go to res/drawable-hdpi
All the stock wallpapers are in there. Extract the wallpaper you like.
I used root browser.
Edit: if you're not rooted, you can use astro file browser. It can copy from system without root.

Question anyone using ICS roms. I have a question i used to use Font changer or font installer to change fonts for Gingerbread roms. For some reason this wont change anymore. It seems it is defaulted to roboto ttf files. I tried to change in system file but still no luck. If i change roboto fonts and replace my phone bricks.. Anyone knows how to change the fonts on ics? Thx
wanna now to
Is there anyone?
Have you tried to create a flashable zip for your fonts? Take a look @ /system/fonts/ and change the fonts you wanna change (DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf for example)
On your computer or laptop create a folder for /system/fonts/ and put your fonts there, renamed to reflect the fonts you wanna change. Then zip up the system folder along with a compatible META-INF folder with correct updater-script and update-binary and you should be good. Flash your newly created zip in recovery

I do not know how to make a flashable zip file.. But i did play around with my own. I used font installer and did the following. changed the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. Changing those two didnt help but i checked mark on the Roboto-Regular.ttf and did the change. Yes, that did change my fonts but When i change the Roboto-Bold.ttf. My phone won't start it it will just not boot up. So only checked roboto-regular, DroidSans-bold and DroidSans and it worked. I think something to do with the bold fonts in ICS. Not sure... Wish i could try if i know how to make the flashable zip... Thx Maybe ill do some research and find out..

So i've done a thorough Google search and discovered that im not the only one who hates the smug little Samsung man that appears over all your contacts that don't have pictures, or pops up as caller ID.
I did find a post that was relevant to the old S4 which I think sent me down the right path, but i have limited knowledge in compiling and installing systems apps via adb or however.
I believe I have done the leg work, so if someone has a moment to assist in making a flashable zip or providing clear instructions to install a modified systemUI.apk, it would be greatly appreciated.
The offending picture png is located in the above mentioned SystemUI.apk. According to the post i was reading re the S4 there used to be 2 seperate system apps (Call and MMS) that contained the image, but from what i've read and been able to find in relation to the S6 is only the SystemUI.apk
I copied it out, unzipped it, and then replaced it with a random but more suitable picture. I made sure that the picture was exactly the same dimensions. Does it being a greater size cause an issue?
I then compressed it again using 7zip, set the file permission back to rw-r--r-- and.... thats as far as i got.
Im not sure how to test whether what i did is correct, or to install it via recovery as a flashable or push it through adb (i don't know the linux commands). In frustration i did try just renaming the original apk using Root Explorer, but of course immediately got a SystemUI has stopped unexpectedly (im almost positive the smug little man was laughing at me by this point) and forced reboot. Oddly upon reboot my phone functioned as per normal, with the smug little guy still mocking me, even though the SystemUI.apk had been renamed!? That stumped me. I could only think that its somehow referencing the information from somewhere else???? I dunno.
Can someone have a look at the attached and let me know if it should work and how i can try install it?
For your reference the only matching png i could find is located: SystemUI.apk\res\drawable-xxxhdpi-v4\contacts_default_caller_id_list.png
Im sure this is a MOD that the countless other smug man haters out there would appreciate as well

No, I believe there's either more to it than just swapping the png out, or the apk needs to be installed via adb seeing it's the stock rom's Ui, but I appreciate your efforts.
The app needs to be signed anyway if you unzip it and zip it again. This can be made with Android Signer or a similar app.
But...for what you want there's no need to uncompress the apk and recompress it afterwards. This procedure is needed if you want to extract or edit certain files (usually .xml files) but not for replacing a resource as a png or image.
First you should have an identically named file and the png should have same resolution (also there are certain specific png's that should be modified only by someone who knows how...so called .9 png's). Considering it's a normal one and it has same resolution (it can be sometimes of different res but phone will resize it and not always the result is what you want), just open the apk with WinRAR for ex (this is what I use) and delete tha original png then add to the archive, in the same place your png.
Should work well, no need for extracting and compressing the files again and so on and I don't advice to do that if you don't know how to sign or deal with apk's
Please note that there could be several folders were the image can be, if the image is a resource that is resolution dependant. So you might find it in hdpi, xhdpi, mdpi, xxhdpi...and similar folders. In this case you should change at least the image in the folder for your specific resolution. But I guess this is not the case since SystemUI is speciffic to a ROM and phone model and should have resources only for it's resolution setup at build time
Good luck

Hi, thanks for your response. I actually used 7zip to swap the png without extracting it, but my problem is how to replace a system apk from recovery? I have no knowledge of how to do this or make a flashable zip. Thanks in advance
Sent from my SM-G925I using XDA-Developers mobile app
Just use the same way, replace with 7zip. You only need a template flashable .zip. Ask Google for it.
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
You can replace the file using the included file manager in TWRP (if you use this recovery). You just have to mount /system before that in order to access the file. You should find SystemUI.apk in /system/app. Alternatively, you could replace the file even with your phone started and with Android booted. Using a root file explorer like ES File Explorer, navigate to /system/app and replace SystemUI.apk there. Then reboot phone for changes to take effect. I strongly recommend to make a safe copy of the file before overwritting it
Second method is easier than the recovery one. You can also use a flashable zip, you can make one yourself by using a flashable zip 'template', that is an empty zip made for flashing in which you just put the files you need to be copied along with their complete path. A quick search will give you several such zip files,I'm on mobile right now and I can't make the flashable zip for you

Thanks for the info Rapier. I tried using root explorer to swap it, but as soon as I renamed the original systemui.apk I got a force close error (because the system was obviously running systemui.apk) and I was forced to do a reset to clear the error off the screen.
After rebooting, the apk had be renamed but the system was still chugging along regardless of the fact that this systemui.apk effectively wasn't even there anymore. It was showing as systemui.bak, what I renamed it to. I tried going ahead and putting the modified apk in the directory anyway, rebooted, and nothing. No change to the png whatsoever, even though the png I used was showing in the correct spot and all.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know there were just templates available. I'll give it a shot, but by the way it's behaving when I've just replaced the file using a root explorer, I think there's more to it eg. The apk I modified isn't functional or something
Sent from my SGP611 using XDA-Developers mobile app
If you still see the image after replacing the file, it could be that it is not stored only in systemui. It could be in the dialer/phone apk as well or in the framework-res.apk. I saw the little figure you wanna change in several places across the ROM, including in the S-Health app...it is used I think everywhere where there is no picture set for an avatar. It can be that the one you found is for something else

Damn, but you're probably right. If I decide to pursue this annoying smug little man, am I at least doing it right?
I mean in theory; replacing the png with another of the same dimensions (does size matter?) and as long as I've swapped it out of the apk rather than extracting and compressing again, set the permissions the same and replacing any apk I come across with the new image, it should work yes?
Someone suggested using an overlay function? Would that be easier?
I couldn't find the phone apk for the S6, do you know where I should be looking?
Thanks for all your advice with this!

Yes, you're right, if you replace the correct png you should get rid of it.
I was involved in several projects in the past, theming as well as building or porting ROMs so I can help with what I know.
You asked about resolution and yes it does matter. In apk's you might find the png stored in folders dependant on display res and named accordingly: LDPI, MDPI, HDPI, XHDPI, XXHDPI and so on. You MUST change the png in the correct folder or else you won't see any change. If for ex you change the png in MDPI folder and our phone is XXXHDPI...you won't see a change. Also the dimension of the png's differs with each res so it is not ok to just put the same resolution file in all folders. There are several guidelines to be followed when dealing with such images and when replacing resources. I think our phone is XXXHDPI or XXHDPI...not really sure cause I never checked but you can find this info easily. After you find out which it is the right res, replace only the png's in that coresponding folder and leave the others alone.
You might want start looking for that image in the phone/people apk and in the framework-res.apk. Be VERY careful what you do with the framework as it's a main component of the ROM...mess with it and you'll have to reflash the ROM
