hey people, i've been active on XDA for quite awhile and i thought it'll be time for me to contribute back to this gracious community.
There is no dedicated thread to the compilation of working fonts for the x10 and i thought i'll kick start this thread.
Please post screenshots of the fonts you are using and i'll compile them and add them into OP so that it'll be easier for users to have access to information.
If users want to contribute guides on how to change fonts, please feel free to do so and i'll add them into OP

TIPS (credits to AYDEE)
Clocktopia will change the lockscreen clock font on CM/2.2/2.3 ROMS
Clocktopia is not used as the lockscreen clock font in 2.1 though so it won't change that but installing it on 2.1 won't hurt anything. The lockscreen font in 2.1 has to be added to framework-res in the assets folder then pushed back so it's a little trickier.
Most true type (.ttf) fonts will "work" but some are too big or small or have missing characters that will make them look bad on x10.

Share Your Fonts Package For X10
Dead threads but they have some good fonts scattered in them.
& it would be much easier if the fonts were posted as zips for xrecovery or at least packaged & renamed so they can be used with a font changing program or adb push.
Here is 'Storopia' for xrecovery:Click (preview attached)
I have tried many fonts from the thread pasted below, and all of them were working for me with Font Changer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160
There are about 300 fonts there.
Keep the contributions coming I will update the list when I'm home.
The link is on op. Can anyone try out a few fonts and report it back here thanks!

how to install it?

install base zip for your type of rom, then follow the instructions, reboot into xrec make a backup and flash. if it screws up it means the font you chose is not compatible with our device. so just restore backup and try again!
Nice work.
Some things to note:
The zip you got from me will also work on stock 2.1
Clocktopia will change the lockscreen clock font on CM/2.2/2.3 ROMS

Have you tried your method? I haven't tried just re-zipping the old signature files like you suggest so I don't know if that would work...
I will make a zip to use as a template but it will need to be signed before flashing with xrecovery.
So it should be something like:
FOR 2.1 & CM/2.2/2.3 ROMS
find your desired font and download the font pack
download this base zip here CREDITS TO AYDEE
Open the zip (double-click, not unzip) and then navigate to system/font. you will find clocktopia, droidsans and droidsans-bold
RENAME the regular version of your desired font with "DroidSans", the bold with "DroidSans-Bold" and also add your desired lockscreen clock font and rename it to "Clocktopia"
Drag the 3 new fonts into the open zip and click yes on the popup prompting to replace the files and then close the zip.
Sign the zip on your computer or with ZipSigner 2 or Signapktic (both free on the market)
Reboot into xrecovery, backup, and then flash it as a custom zip
My_Immortal's zip is also signed so unless I'm wrong you may have to change the guide a little.

I actually used my immortal's zip file, unzipped it and replaces certain fonts and zipped it back up with winrar without signing it and it worked. Maybe someone would like to confirm I'll add your method into the op later on. Thanks!

Hello All!
Here is my first theme for metamorph - Cyanified, updated to version 1.2. I have been wanting cyanification, but with all stock icons as the base... I didn't see any themes that fit the bill.
This will work on Stock Froyo (tested), and should work on any rom. It does not adjust services.jar, only images inside the framework-res.apk. You will need the lastest (xml) version of Metamorph, this will not work on the older .thm version of metamorph. It should also work if you are using a dark header bar, as I do not adjust the header images at all.
To go back to your original icons, you can flash your rom (without wiping).
To Do:
Finish up the .9png's. I've done a lot of them, but there's a lot more to do to get this themed fully.
Make some changes to Launcher2.apk for those using the stock launcher or who have moved their favorite launcher to /system/app/Launcher2.apk
Custom keyboard for HTC IME
Dialer adjustments (possibly)

Here's some shots of it with the LeoFroyo 0.4.1 rom, which has a black header as default:
I'm not providing any header options (neither black no transparent), you'll have to find a theme or mod, then apply this morph. As always, be sure to do a nandroid before making any major changes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Simply download the file below, extract it on your computer, move the extracted "cyanified" folder to "Android Themes" folder on your sdcard, and choose the .xml file in metamorph to apply it. It will cause a reboot since it is adjusting framework-res.
CHANGELOG:
v1.2 - Minor change to cyanified.xml, simply fixes an error upon applying (theme still works in v 1.1)
v1.1 - Completed .9.png files in the framework-res folder
Any suggestions or critiques welcomed!
Yes why not I'm interested ....
Thanks .
This looks awesome, do want.
I too would love a theme like this one.
Cyanogen has my heart. <3
...okay, that was a bit much.
Ok, I've uploaded version 1~
Enjoy!!
I've just uploaded version 1.1, now fully themed within framework-res. Enjoy! Will post more photos soon!
Is it possible for you to make a file for metamorph that just changes the lock screen? I like the whole theme, but i want to just use the cyan colored lock screen for now.
I need to root to do this rite

Just unzip the file, open up framework-res/res/drawable-hdpi/ and delete all the files you don't want to change.
So you'll be left with only these (I think this is all of them)

I guess you'd have to apply a theme or rom with the black status bar, and then apply this morph. You'd want the clock font to be white, and if you are on stock froyo that won't be possible.
I just switched to the LeoFroyo rom which has a black statusbar option, I'm going to test this morph on it and post some pictures.

i deleted all the other png's other than this one, and re-zipped. I am getting control errors so I uninstalled metamorph and reinstalled the newest from the market. Then I renamed the xml file to the same name as the zip file (saw in another thread to do this) and I am still getting control file error. Also reduced delay to ~2500, no go. Any ideas?
thx

Don't rezip. Just delete the files you don't want, then upload the folder to Android themes. Don't change the name of the xml file.

Custom Lockscreen: Centered Style & Custom Background for CM 7
[Tested on current 24/03/2011 nightly - passion]
I made 2 versions:
Version I.) CustomLockscreenX_morph.zip: Centered with a custom background
Version II.) CustomLockscreenX_tr_morph.zip: Centered with transparent background, which you cannot change
So you decide which to apply and enjoy!
---------------------------------------------------------------
How to Version I:
---------------------------------------------------------------
1.)
- put "CustomLockscreenX_morph.zip" in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/
- apply with MetaMorph
now you have a custom centered lockscreen background
]
2.) How to change your new custom lockscreen background:
- put "CustomLockscreen_my_morph.zip" in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/
- apply with MetaMorph
now you have your own custom lockscreen background
3.) How to make your own custom lockscreen background:
- exchange "default_wallpaper.jpg" in CustomLockscreen_my_morph.zip with your own (same size & jpg)
- put "CustomLockscreen_my_morph.zip" in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/
- apply with MetaMorph
now you have a your own custom lockscreen background
-----------------------------------------------------------
How to Version II:
---------------------------------------------------------------
1.)
- put "CustomLockscreenX_tr_morph.zip" in /sdcard/AndroidThemes/
- apply with MetaMorph
now you have a custom centered lockscreen with transparent background
---------------------------------------------------------------

- Sliders, Clock font, Battery Icons are not included here !!

Some custom....
- santiemanuel: CustomLockscreenPng_morph.zip #post

very very very nice! Will try that.... the seperate lockscreen background was always something i liked about miui and now we have it for cm -->
Aha, so the lockscreen wallpaper is always default_wallpaper.jpg
I noticed this happen on my phone and didnt know why lol.
Does this always work? Right now I have a custom default_wallpaper.jpg in the .apk and the lock screen does not use it and uses the wallpaper instead.
Note that it was set in framework-res before I flashed the nightly.
edit: It cant be translucent as its a JPG, I wish it was a PNG
what did you actually change in the framework.apk?
I'd like to know, so i can apply it on my modded framework.apk... Plus i'd like to use it withe the niegtlies....
So what did you change in the framework??

Yes that's true. The Morph only changes the default wallpaper in framework/res/drawable hdpi.
Only applying the morph will result in nothing.
In order to have a lockscreen wallpaper as well as a "normal" wallpaper, the keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml in framework/res/layout must be modified so the default wallpaper in framework/res/drawable hdpi will show as lockscreen wallpaper.
What i don't get is what has been changed in the keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml file.
So rori can you please tell me what and how you modified that xml file?

You need to flash CustomeLockscreen.zip first in recovery, reboot then apply the morph and then reboot again. It should work that way.
Alternatively youn can modify your framework.apk and replace the file i mentioned one post earlier....
BUT i advise you to flash the zip file....

After receiving many questions on how I modded my Espier Launcher.apk I decided to write this tutorial. Many thanks to Taine0 for inspiration and initial instructions!
WHAT THIS GUIDE IS FOR:
-How to change icons in espier launcher
-How to change page indicators
-How to change dock
-How to change notification bubble
-How to add custom icons (for apps not natively themed by espier launcher) RECENTLY EDITED
-How to install onto phone
A. Preliminary Steps:
1. Install apktool
2. Create a directory called Espier launcher mod
3. Download Espier Launcher and rename to launcher.apk
4. Place Espier Launcher into that directory.
5. Open terminal.
6. Change terminal directory to your Espier launcher mod folder.
E.G. I ran this:
Code:
cd /home/gaurav/Desktop/Espier launcher mod
7. Decompile the apk.
Code:
apktool d launcher.apk
B. Changing basic icons.
**UPDATE**
Now, to prevent icons from being edited (in a bad way) by Espier Launcher, download this icon and place it in drawable-(h/m/l)dpi. This is crucial to prevent your icons from getting a weird white glow around them!
1. Open res/drawable-(hdpi/ldpi/mdpi/xhdpi) *depending on what screen size your phone is. I have an mdpi so i will go into drawble-mdpi
2. Change the desired icon
For example, the file
Code:
ic_com_android_camera_preparecamera.png
can be replaced by an image of the same (or similar) size. when you're done, it should look like:
Screenshot
3. Refer to Section G
C. Changing page indicators
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find the file:
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus.png
ic_screen_level_normal.png
3. Replace these two files with desired ones
4. Open res/drawable-hdpi
5. Replace these files with desired images.
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus
ic_screen_level_normal.png
ic_screen_level_search_focus.png
ic_screen_level_search_normal.png
ic_screen_level_widget_focus.png
ic_screen_level_widget_normal.png
6. Refer to Section G.
D. How to change dock
1. Navigate to res/drawable-mdpi (in my case)
2. Find file called
Code:
toolbar.png
3. Replace with desired (make sure the dock image is correct size for your phone)
4. Refer to Section G.
E. How to change notification bubble.
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find and replace with desired image
Code:
icon_shuzi1.png
3. Refer to Section G.
F. How to add custom icons
*Warning* This section is a lot more confusing. Please read carefully. *Warning*
1. Navigate to /res/values/arrays.xml
2. Now, it gets tricky.
3. Go this website
4. Search for an app. It should look like this:
Screenshot
5. Now, in arrays.xml, scroll down until you see this type of coding
Screenshot
6. Get to the end of that "chunk" of xml.
7. Let's say we're theming the facebook app. So we add this to xml. (and fill it out with info)
Code:
<item>ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>DESCRIPTIVE_ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>@drawable/NAME_OF_APP</item>
For example:
Code:
<item>com.facebook.katana</item>
<item>com.facebook.katana.LoginActivity</item>
<item>@drawable/facebook</item>
You get the first line of info like this:
Screenshot
and the second:
Screenshot
in that third line of that xml we add (@drawable/NAME_OF_APP), you can name your app anything you want. i made it "facebook" in this case.
8. Save and exit.
9. Find a desired image for your application (in this case facebook).
10. Rename it to "NAME_OF_APP.png" in this case, "facebook.png"
11. Drop that file into drawable/mdpi
12. Repeat steps 1-11 for as many applications as you want to theme.
13. Refer to Section G.
G. How to install on your phone
1. First, save and close everything you're working on.
2. Open your terminal, and change its directory to the "espier launcher mod" folder
3. Type in
Code:
apktool b 'PATH_TO/espier launcher mod' 1.apk
4. Take that 1.apk, and sign it, using a program like ApkSigner
5. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
6. Mount it as a mass storage device.
7. Transfer that signed.apk to the root of your sdcard.
8. Now on your phone, uninstall any current version of EspierLauncher you may have.
9. Then, using a file manager, install the signed.apk from your sdcard.
YOU'RE DONE!

I modded this launcher myself removing backdops, icon backgrounds. But changing
the png file with a transparent file. Can you teach doing this by changin code?
Secondly can you teach how to use 2 lines icon names? I do this by changing
a code but i think you already know this.
With all of these it will be a perfect launcher.
mind posting/sharing your modded espier launcher?
This is dope! Great job mate!

Oh yes, i forgot to include how to get rid of icon backdrops...I do not know how to change the code (regards to the icon backgrounds) nor I know how to make the icon names have 2 lines :/ If you could post those instructions, i will add to OP and give you some credit

Why don't you Share your apks ?

why dont you just share you apks dude?
For everyone wondering why he won't share his modded launcher, it's because the icons aren't for release. He made this tutorial, why not just do it yourself?
Really nice and thorough tut! I was waiting over on deviantart but didn't see it until now!
For those not wanting to install apktool, the same can be done with apkmanager much easier. Gaurav, I would actually recommend changing the tutorial to use apkmanager instead. Much easier for the noobs You would only have to change up a couple of steps.
iLauncher is better.

You have to use one of the two, they decompile the apks so the XML is readable. Unzipping with 7 zip will result in a bunch of gibberish for XML.

Well, thanks to supetawesomedude and his awesome guide, I moded espier launcher so now it has Suave theme This theme is for MDPI devices only (I dont have HDPI devices so I can't test). Backup your Espier Launcher config, remove it, install the file below and restore the config Enjoy
awesome guide bro, but too complex for me to get my head around it lol, if they just allowed the option that ilauncher has for custom icons this would rock so much more imo, and thanks TMinh for sharing your setup
So can you only add up to 14 icons by editing the public.xml?
I'm up to 8 right now and just realized it only goes up to icbk_color_14
ICS THEME FOR VALUE PACKS
Caution : I will not be responsible if you do stupid mistakes and brick your phone.
The theme just replaces some apk files on your phone.
If done correctly it should not harm your phone in anyway.
I present to you Value Pack port of nitinvaid’s theme. So a BIG THANKS to him.
Theme DOES NOT INCLUDE MODS. But WILL WORK WITH mods. The idea is that, YOU have to flash your favorite mods first. Then You can flash this theme over the mods. The mods will be themed TOO. The IDEA is called MORPHING... :laugh:
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR ROM SHOULD BE DEODEXED FOR THIS THEME TO WORK.
TO DEODEX, SEE THIS THREAD.
NOTE: SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED THAT THE THEME WORKS ON ODEXED ROMS TOO. BUT BEOFRE YOU FLASH IT ON AN ODEXED ROM, BE SURE TO TAKE A BACKUP.
CONFIRMED COMPATIBLE WITH:
DDLF2
XWLF2
WHATS THEMED:
1. twframework-res.apk
2. framework-res.apk
3. lidroid-res.apk
4. Browser.apk
5. Camera.apk
6. ClockPackage.apk
7. Contacts.apk
8. DialerTabActivity.apk

Steps to install
INSTALLATION STEPS:
Before anything, do a Nandroid backup. (IMPORTANT)
Download the latest version of the theme.
Place it on the internal or external sd card.
Reboot to CWM.
Select “install zip from sdcard”.
Select “choose zip for sdcard” if the zip is in external sd or “choose zip from internal sdcard” if on internal.
Choose Yes.
If all goes well a backup zip will be automatically made in internal or external sd in “UnversalFlasher” folder. That can be flashed to revert back to original look.
No need to wipe cache or dalvik-cache because the installer does that in the end automatically.
Reboot your phone. Note: 1st boot will take time.

I'll fix the buttons, they kind of annoy me too. It was a mere copy paste from nitins tjeme. I'll change them in next version.
About the density, Ive worked on the default density of the phone. So images which are not 9patch will not stretch properly or not stretch at all if the density is changed. Then too will see what I can do.

I intend to include all the mods in future.
I used a program called Tickle my Android to create the zip file. It used the universal template to make the zip.

Ive thought of something. Instead of me including the mods in the tgeme, what you all can do is flash the respected mods which you like and ill provide a metamorph zip which will just replace the necessary image and layout files in the apks. Though I have not yet made that zip, it seems simple and shouldn't be a problem.
Should be ready tomorrow. (Hopefully)

Button text color was for xda app only. They have explicitly given color to button text and not provided a button bg. Hence color mismatch was occurring. By default the Button Text color is proper if you see at other places. I fixed the xda button text color and will provide it in next zip. And for that to work you should have your xda app in /data/app and not swapped to sd.
EDIT: It seems if I replace the resources.arsc from the apk it gives a security exception. So I had to resign it and will have to give you the new apk. The apk has been attached.

Read the previous post. Mods should be flashed by you first then ill provide the Themed drawables. If this doesnt work then ill include the themed modded apk itself. I'm still working on the morphing thing.
ill try it soon
Modded XDA App added to Download section. I changed the Button Text Color. Let me know if there is any problems. You can directly install over the installed app.

Hello
as you guys know we have the ability to change fonts now in settings for sense 6! i have provided some of the best fonts in .apk where you dont have to be rooted to change fonts as many people are here still enjoying the stock rom.
How to install:
1- download desired font.
2- copy it to your phone.
3- use any file explorer (eg. ES file explorer)
4- install APK.
5- head to Settings> Display and gestures > Font style and there you can change your fonts on the go without any reboot required :good:
disclaimer:i did not create or own those fonts. those are my personal collection which i downloaded from many sources and wanted to share on here.
**some fonts may look bigger or smaller than stock but you can control them from Settings> Display and gestures > Font size
***Some fonts conflict with others. you can see it if you choose a type of font (type1) and it reverts to other (type2). you must uninstall the one you dont want (type2) so you apply the one you want (type1):silly:
****i may not have tested all the fonts so please report non-working fonts so i remove them.
***** please provide the font .ttf file for the request if possible.

Edit: seems that all roboto styles default to the bold condensed. No matter which variation I choose, it ends up on the same one.

yes there is a problem when installing many fonts all in one time, if you select any roboto style and it reverts to roboto bold then it means theres a conflict. uninstall roboto bold then you can choose the other font you want.
thanks for the input. please test this and report back

If you are using winrar you can view the contents of the apk with it. Easier way Google it and it will help you. Will add more fonts and organize the thread later.

I have tried for while now to find a font called Pale font (picture attached) so I can make it an android font but I just can't find it.
Anyone know if you can find the actually font file to make it into android font?
