Hi, I'd like to make my fonts look like the ones that they advertise with the crossbow. I mean i'd like to have my whole system with those fonts but i don't know how. I've done tons of searching but i could not find anything that would help me change the fonts of my whole system (unless i build my own rom with those fonts but that's too complicated for me). Is there another way? i've found some threads that's suppose to change the fonts but it messed up my fone, others do not change the whole system but just some fonts. All WM6 roms that i've used do not have those fonts that I'm talking about. I'd like to make it like the fonts on this picture. Can someone help me please?
Is there anyone out there who can help/suggest something/make me read another thread/tell me it's not possible/whatever...?anyone?

I don´t think it is so easy - but what about cleartype. The font doesn´t look so different for me. Just cleartype?? Don´t know.
Start - settings - screen - enable cleartype.
And there are registry hacks to enable it also in landscape mode. (Registrywizard or HTweakC)
thanks, but i already have cleartype on. not quite the same but i really appreciate ur reply. With over 240+ views, i finally received a reply. At least i can say ur one of the few people out there who genuinely lend a helping hand to others. I really appreciate it thanks again
Looking at the screengrabs I think they're from a VGA device (a HTC Universal for example), which is why the fonts looks slightly smoother and more rounded. The font on the XDA Exec I borrowed looked a lot nicer than my XDA Mini-S just because it was higher res, despite the actual screen real-estate being used in the same way (IE. although the screen was higher res, everything was larger to compensate). The effect I saw looked just like in some of your screenshots - particularly the first portrait one.
thanks paulmdx!i guess that explains it. it probably looks different because of the vga screen.Thanks, i guess i'll just have to give up on wishing that my fonts be like that
Sorry for my late response...I was suppose to reply back to you after you reminded me that the fonts could be changed...I managed to change the fonts by adding the files to the font folder in the \windows\fonts directory...the extention you are looking for is .ttf...I tried to use a font with a different extention and it didn't work...also if you are looking for fonts then your best bet is http://dafont.com ...they have the best looking fonts, and they have popular fonts used in movies, video games, etc...the one that I am running is aiight, and the one that i put on my girl's is the Walt Disney font...one more thing, after you put the fonts on your ppc you will need to have a program to change the font for you, or you'll need to either change some registry key to enable it (I don't know the keys), or use a program like Tweaks2k2.net to change it...it's not a free program, but you'll be able to use the program 3 times before you have to register it...I don't if you were looking for the font used in WM6 or you were looking for a way to change fonts on the ppc, but anyways here's some info for those who wanted to do this...
Btw this only changes some fonts, but not all of them...it's better this way just in case you put a font that is blurry, too small, etc...while I was trying out fonts for my girl's phone, this happened to me...if all the fonts on the ppc were changed, I wouldn't have been able to find the options easily to change the font...looks awesome though...even my keyboard font changed...my cousin said I'm ghetto because my font looks like tagging lol...
Missing font!
While we are on this topic.....Some of my fonts are messed up!
I installed the 10 button Comm Manager and couldn't get the WLAN to activate. I then went back to the 8 button Comm Manager. Later I found a fix for the 10 and uninstalled the 8. When I did it messed up my fonts. Does anyone have the stock fonts they can send me?

Hey everyone and anyone.
I recently got a Honeycomb tablet and my biggest wtf moment is that the Android Market is locked into landscape. I have decompiled and looked around and I know what to change, just I'm afraid to test cause i can't risk a chance of a soft brick my new I/O 10.1 tab as there is no recovery at this time. Also I'm having issues with apktool.
Either way, all that needs done is in the manifest change all of the android:screenOrientation variables from "6" to "4"
6 is sensorLandscape, 4 is sensor.
It might show 6 or it might show sensorLandscape, if it shows the 6 make it 4, if it shows the text sensorLandscape make it sensor.
At least this is in "Vending.apk" which I think is just "My Apps"? Not too sure. But if there's a seperate APK for the Market than that would be work the same, too, it's all in the Manifest.
Another thing would be if you could raise the version code so it could simply be installed over top of the original Market... Is this not possible? Must it be replaced in /system/app?
I also would like to see Portrait Market, as My Nook Color can do it but my Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi can't?
I like to only use my tablet in portrait as I have good eyes and more fits on the screen. Even on my 7 inch nook color I like portrait even for browsing the internet.
Would be nice if we could force any app to go to landscape or portrait. I really think this would be cool rather then being forced to use the device the way someone else thinks I should.
Hi y'all
I have a little issue with an app Vodafone NL made for whatching TV via tabs and mobile.
It has been made for tab 10.1 only and askes for a resolution of 1280x800.
Now i have a galaxy note 2, and my girl has a galaxy note 10.1, on none of them the app works..
Now i'm trying to change the way the app starts, the only thing it has to do is to NOT check screen size.
I'm on it for about 3 weeks now and i'm stuck.
I decompiled it but have no idea where i could find the check or disable it.. i thought in the layout xml but it doensn't have one..
Does somebody know how to get this done?
i attached the apk.. (sorry, link: http://dv-solutions.nl/Thuis%20TV_1.1.6.apk )
Thanks in advance!

Guys, I am a novice here and keep reading the posts on XDA frequently but posting a query first time.
I have installed pimp my ROM on my Galaxy R and changed the screen density which made me to utilize the real estate on my screen efficiently. The standard UI never helped me so opted for GO launcher and its working like a charm now inspite of a few delays.
The problem I am facing now is with the stock Email app now. Its not utilizing the new screen size and is cramped in a portion of it.
Can someone here help me to find out a way out or a tweak to make use of it. I know there are third party applications available which may help me but I really want to stick to the default app.
I have attached the screenshot which will help to understand the problem.
Thanks a lot!
I don't think it has layouts for another size and DPI, so this cannot be easily fixed.
Yes, But When you use PimpMyRom then you can save a zip file for reverting back as Update.zip.
BTW, as we always say, do have backup first while applying such changes in mobile.
