For fonts you can download root tools by jrummy and it allows you to change the font among other things. But for the pulldown text im not sure how to do that

I believe the dropdown text is an xml edit if you decompile the framework, otherwisr you would need to use a hex editor to change this. I will see if I can find the poat with instructions and post back with a link

I never changed my fonts until i flashed liberty 1.0 and a theme changed the font and after i went back to apex i missed the font so i started to google different fonts and found this forum in xda with downloadable fonts in a .zip file so just flash it using bootstrap

No problem, glad I could be of help. Let me know if you have more questions. I'm no expert, but have a decent knowledge of most of the basics for the X.

cant you just do it like you would on liberty with the liberty toolbox on the market? (if its still there...)

liberty toolbox is for liberty only......

[Q] Framework-res.apk

I'm somewhat new to hacking and modding. And I'm reading a lot, as well as playing with my phone a lot. I happened to extract the framework-res file to my sd card.
What are all the things I could customize with playing with that file?

Anything you want. The easiest thing is editing the png so you change the system appearance. But you don't have to extract it to SD, you have to send it to your PC, decompile it (for .9.png's and xml, if just png you can extract the folder, then put the edited png's back in the apk with 7zip and push), and do whatever you want.
You will need to look for info about decompiling and pushing if you don't know yet.

So is that how themeing works?

I saw you, I just haven't time to write. Look for a tutorial about pulling and also APK Manager for decompiling. You will need adb

Fonts are not in framework. They are in system/fonts, so you can go to the zip of your current ROM in the PC, open it, go to system/fonts and copy them. Then paste them into the zip of the new ROM or flash it, then push the fonts. (If you can, it will be easier doing it before flashing, with WinRAR or 7zip in computer)

You could upload the file you extracted to the uot kitchen (google it, i cannot provide links).
The site allows to create a theme for your phone and to package it in a flashable .zip

For matching the colors you can use any app that lets you choose a custom color. I used widgetsoid, chose a custom color that matched my theme and wrote down the hex value. You can then use the hex value in the uot kitchen.

Well, I took a snapshot of my homescreen. Uploaded it to a color extractor, and pulled the hex value through there. Used that hex value with UOT kitchen, and the colors still weren't the same after I flashed it...

[Q] Porting Helvetica font to Desire S

Hi community,
is there any way to get the Helvetica font on our device?
For example with a .ttf file + font changer?
All characters working?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA

It's much easier to implement a font taken from another ROM. For example I'm using segoe wp on endymion, which is a font from windows phone 7. If you want something like that, search the forums, it's already somewhere.
But I would also like to know if there's any way to import a font with for example an .ttf file
Sent by my fingers to your head.

You mean the Segeo font from Endymion Control center?

Not sure what you talking about. In endy control center there is no option to change the font.
And since I'm using segeo wp on the whole system I cannot say what font the control center has by default.
Sent by my fingers to your head.

Where did you get Segeo WP?
BTW: You can, when you launch Theme Manager there's an option to change fonts!

When you download a font linked by dan-fish (I'm using those too) you'll get a flashable zip. after unzip the file, there is one folder "fonts" with some simple .ttf Files and one folder "meta-inf" with scripts and files I do not know about.
Maybe its possible to replace the .ttf files with some from helvetica (regular, bold etc.). But I don't know if there are also other changes in scripts etc. needed.

I found this:

Not sure if i'm allowed to post it though. Use it with font changer from the market and it should work. I can't guarantee it though.

+1 Here. I have this awful font in Facebook and in Opera.
Of course this rom is a must-have.
Thanks Xbsall
P.S. I found a solution for the annoying font problem. Deleting/renaming DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf in /system/fonts/ folder does the goal.

:good:

Go to system/fonts change both DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans - Bold.ttf to .bak and then duplicate the font that you use/wish (Bold and Regular) and rename to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans - Bold.ttf. Reboot and thats it.

This worked thank you very much I tried giving you a thanks but i used my 8 today thanking xbsall for all his hard work that made this all possible.
I wonder if this is a facebook bug or a SU760 rom bug. Either way this work around works.
