Changed Clockopia.ttf seems sony hasnt used this for their lockscreen, anyone know? eclair
I had the same question a while ago, and this is the answer I got:
"The font for the lockscreen is in assets which is in the framework-res, so you'll need to pull, edit, then push it back and install."
Haven´t tried it myself as I'm not so experienced with this sort of things, but it should work.
found it and changed but new fonts make it go out of sync with the date, date ends up going over the middle of the time

Hi there,
I was wondering if it were possible to
a) modify the homescreen clock on the stock rom at all
b) modify it in such a way that it shows the normal clock but when you press a button, it is replaced by a unix epoch clock (I just got a sudden hankering for one of these tbh...yeah I'm a bit of a geek)
That'll be a no, then?
You can modify the look of the clock with the readily available cab files in this forum (just search - there's lots).
As far as changing what the clock actually does.... no. You'd need to recode Manila to do that, and it's not open source.
Ok so what I'd like to do is take fonts from some of the free font packs available from the market, and use them as fonts in Beautiful Widgets.
I've installed them, but BW doesn't see them.
So, I'm assuming what I'll have to do is pull the font packs in adb, and push them back somewhere else. I don't know what directory they need to be in, though.
I could also be completely wrong and not know what the hell I'm talking about. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
Also, if anyone can tell me how to go about changing the system font, that would be helpful.
Edit: Ok figured this out. Still don't know how to get beautiful widgets to recognize fonts...
Ok. I'm an idiot. I forgot the BW settings only allow you to change the CLOCK font. The date font is changed by changing the system font which I've already got covered. Der. Mods you can delete this whole thread if you like.
I have been on a mission to try and get the Motorola Defy lock screen looking like the stock android one.
So far I have managed to get the sliders and the layout the same but am stuck at the last hurdle getting the clock in the clockopia font.
You can't change it in the framework-res.apk layouts and because it currently uses a generic system font I can't just change the font in the fonts folder as that will change everything to clockopia. So I have decompiled the Defy android.policy.jar to look at the lockscreen.smali but I can't see any references to fonts or setting the typeface.
I take it that I need to add something like this in somewhere but I am no Java dev:
Typeface tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(),"fonts/Clockopia.ttf");
mTimeDisplay.setTypeface(tf);
I also extracted the lockscreen.java out of the android open source project and I can't see where the clockopia font gets set in there either.
Could someone with the full open source project please do a grep for clockopia and see where it is set?
I would really appreciate some help and direction on this one.
OK found it in the framework.jar
Hi All,
I have done a ton of searching the last few days and still have not come up with a specific answer. I am looking to link my lock screen font to a new font, and not just change or replace the font.
I am running a Moto DroidX with 2.3.3 (605) and using Go Launcher EX... just incase any of it matters.
My clock is not pulling from Clockopia.ttf, instead its pulling from the same font the rest of the system is (such as notifiers and such), and that is DroidSans-Bold. To test and make sure I was correct, I replaced the DroidSans with some wacky font, and it turned every peiece of system based font into the wacky one, clock and notifications included.
Because of this I am unable to easily change just the clock font. I wanted to replace the clock font with an invisible one so I could have a simple and easy way for my lock screen to look directly at my home screen with no clutter. I have read a few apps let you replace the lock screen, but don't really want to run anything new as a constant process just to hide a font. I'm also satisfied with the basic structure and functionality of the default lock screen minus the time and verizon banner. Does anyone know the specific config file and location where I can specify which font the lock screen pulls from?
Are there any apps, free or paid, that will help me accomplish this exact task? What I most liked about the invisible font was that it's easily reversible and all I had to do was backup the original font file. I've already bought several good utilities and am not affraid to pay for one more as long as it does what I want in a simple and reversible way... and Ideally will not run anything full time backround services.
Thanks.
Booo! No takers with some info on this one?
Does anyone know of a way to change the background image in the weather lockscreen, Coredroid Rom does it (I think)?
I found an old guide dating back to Sep last year for Sense 3.0 but it was a bit complicated and involved adb and decompiling which is way over my head so I was wondering if an easier way has been found since then.
Thanks
