[CWM][MOD] Missing Indian languages fonts for KitKat / JellyBean / ICS - Android General

New File uploaded for KitKat
Instructions
-Download the zip of your desired font
-Boot into recovery
-Make a nandroid backup (Optional)
-Flash the zip
-Reboot
As Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 owner, you may have noticed the curious case of missing fonts for Indian languages in the OS. The truth is that this is like gingerbread and I don't see it being addressed soon. Luckily, Google has started to use Harfbuzz for rendering of complex scripts.
Here is a flashable zip that installs the fonts in the /system/fonts and updates fallback_fonts.xml in /system/etc. Its better than overwriting DroidSansFallback.ttf as it does not break any other glyphs.
This will enable you to read the languages even though rendering is broke for Yuktakshars, Halants etc.
If you want to see Android supporting Indian languages as soon as possible, I request all to star and comment on this issue in Android issue tracker - http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4153
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16315
I have only tested this on my own Google Nexus S i9023 and Nexus 5 running on KitKat[Android 4.4].
[/SIZE]Google has included full rendering support(and fonts) for -
Tamil
Malayalam
Kannada
Bengali
Devnagari / Hindi
Telugu
This zip file has additional fonts for
Punjabi (being my native language)
Nepali
Assamese
Marathi
Gujarati
Oriya
Sindhi
Kashmiri
If you want a language in the pack, provide me font file and I will update the zip. Also if you need to type in your language,I'e found this keyboard to be the best https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kl.ime.oh
BTW Thanks to The Fedora Project for providing Open Source Lohit fonts. Three cheers for them.

Liked the name of the attachment xD

it is working on motorola xoom runing on ics(teamos build rom). bangla fonts are rendering perfectly.
many many thanks to op. love you bro.

it is not working on cm7.1
it was installed successfully but not working...same problem...well i noticed that you zip cant replace the font correctly...am i wrong ?
by the way thank you so much for care this problem on android world

Let me look up on this problem.

Tried on CM7.1 on my Motorola Milestone - not working
Tried on my Motorola Milestone running on 2.3.7 CM7.1
No luck.
This is what i did:
Successfully flashed zip files from Open recovery,
All fonts got installed in /system/fonts directory.
Manually copied extracted fallback_fonts.xml files to /system/etc folder.
let me know if i need to do anything else.
Thanks for your efforts.

Not working on CM7
Flashed it with CWM.
Manually checked if installation went fine.
All fonts are available with same permission and config file is also proper.
But still rendering is not proper.
Let me know if any further details required.
Thx a lot for your efforts!!!

It didn't work on cm7 because there is no fallback.xml file in my system/etc.so after flashing zip the fallback.xml copy in system/etc but it didn't work.

Thanks for pointing this out guys. I suppose old method of flashing DroidSansFallback.ttf would work.

@siffar:
Please guide how to revert the flashed zip file.
I tried replacing Droidsansfallback.ttf with ROJanakannada.ttf, but still it displays your font only (lohith-kannada.ttf).I dont like lohith-kannada.ttf, all alphabets are separate.
suggestion: use ROJanakannada.ttf for kannada. It looks nice and does'nt splits.

[Live Wallpapers] Samsung Fascinate LWPS

I was browsing around the galaxy s section and seen that someone posted that the live wallpapers from the Fascinate are available here http://www.multiupload.com/503TEPBK4J (direct download)
screens of the lwps can be seen here
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...ive-wallpapers-leaked-available-for-download/
(thank you evilkorn for the links)
What I did was:
1. download the file from the above link
2. unzip the file
3. placed the contents of the zip file on the root of the sd
4. i then used root explorer to move the .so lib file to /system/lib
5. after that i used linda file manager to navigate to the root of my sd to the files and installed them with the package installer.
credits to lgkahn in the galaxy s section for posting these.

[24APRIL2011][Mod] Themes + Notifications Icon Mod + Settings w/ black background

If this framework eats your cat, i'm not responsible.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12340498&postcount=109
so i saw this post and decided that i want those icons. so i pulled my framework-res.apk from the current ROM i am using (overcome 1.4.4) and modded the files inside.
THOSE ICONS WERE NOT CREATED BY ME. CREDIT GOES TO ORIGNIAL CREATOR (dunno who, i tried to find but couldn't find it)
attached are NON-flashable zips from various ROMS that are available.
More info:
-the widget below the time is minimalist text.
-wallpaper is from this app called wallpapercasa free from the market which i highly recommend. this app has high res wallpapers made specially for tablets.
-"S" icon u see is samba filesharing free from the market as well. best wifi file transfer app IMHO from tab to computer or vice versa.
-from left to right, the icons are: bluetooth, wifi, silent mode, signal strength, battery(%) and alarm.
Credits:
Original creator of those icons.
Natious for his flashable zip.
alterbridge86 for his wonderful ROM.
Galaxyer for VA Green theme and black settings.
DistortedWisdom for blue honeycomb theme.
Biospin for black call settings page.
Update (13/4):
-added framework for BOYPPC-V3 rom. thanks to wallah.
-added framework for Overcome 1.5.0-Beta. thanks to mkhattab.
-made into cwm flashable zips
-made some changes to the framework as i realized that when i charge my tab, the animation is screwed up. this update should fix the problem.
Update (14/4):
-changed to non-flashable zips as there's some problem with the flashable zip.
Update (18/4):
-added ZHKC2.2.1
-will consider sourcing for more battery mods from other forums and add it here after my exams.
Update (19/4):
-added Overcome1.6.0
Update (21/4):
- added links for Blue Honeycomb theme by DistortedWisdom and VA Green theme by galaxyer and modded to work on Overcome 1.6.x by DistortedWisdom.
Update (23/4):
- added Settings.apk with black background [tested only on Overcome 1.6.1] preview: http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/1754/26105842.jpg
LATEST Update (24/4):
- added Blacksettings.rar - this is not a flashable. extract the apks and place them in /system/app for a black settings page. Currently only the account profiles page are not black. trying to fix it.
- Removed framework-res(Overcome1.5.0Beta) due to not so popular demand and lack of slots for uploading files.
Instructions for installing notification icons ONLY (without theme):
1. extract zip file.
2. copy the framework-res.apk in the zip file into your sd card using root explorer.
3. navigate to /system/framework
4. tap rw at the top.
5. paste the copied framework-res.apk and u will experience FCs and this is normal. DO NOT PANIC.
6. restart tab.
Instructions for Settings with black background:
1. download Blacksettings.zip and extract the apks inside to your sd card
2. copy or move all the apk using root explorer
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. [optional] backup your Phone.apk/Settings.apk/Accountsandsyncsettings.apk somewhere just in case it doesn't work for your rom. this has only been tested on Overcome 1.6.1
6. paste all apks
Instructions for installing themes ONLY (w/o icons mods):
1. place zip in internal or external sd card
2. boot into recovery
3. install zip
Link to download theme:

The themes and battery icon mods are 2 different framework-res.apk.
They are works of 2 different people and i will only combine them and post it here when i am free or when >10 people request for it. the screenshots you see are the result of combining them. i do not want to combine them because the original framework might change again when alterbridge releases an update for Overcome ROM and I do not know how to mod it to work on the new framework if that happens. the themes are done by DistortedWisdom and Galaxyer. i will request from them if ever there is an update and post it here. meanwhile i'm still trying to how to theme properly. if i know how i won't bother them again. thanks
hit some thanks if i've helped.

i realized that when i charge my tab the animation is screwed up. please check yours. if it's screwed up too, download the flashable zip which i just uploaded. it should fix the problem.
no problem here bro, everythings works nice !!! i tested charging, pluged in-pluged off, mount-unmont.....
Do you think you can make one for Overcome 1.5 Beta?
I believe it has a different base from 1.4.4 so the same framework will probably FC like mad

Thanks a lot, it worked. I prefer swype to touchpal which I tried in absnce of swype. I love my swype.
Just a question.
Both the files were present in my phone in respective folders. I just overwrote them in root explorer. Why was this necessary?

Yes that is supposed to happen because the "modded swype" is just the same "stock swype" file but only revised. modders reduce the files as well as modifying its appearance and settings. And since its named the same you need to overwrite it in order to delete the modded file and put back the stock file and its settings and stuff....
thank you soooo much dude
i was looking for those files hahahaha cheers!
EDIT:
Actually, I've followed your instructions but it doesn't work :S

System/framework/framework-res.apk
System/app/Priv/SystemUI.apk
System/app/Settings.apk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FOR USERS EDITING IN MOBILE (Root Explorer)..........PC users go down
Now rename the follwing files (Both from your device and the other rom) [dont mix them up. place them in different folder] as
Code:
framework-res.apk
as
Code:
framework-res.zip

Settings.apk
as
Code:
Settings.zip

SystemUI.apk
as
Code:
SystemUI.zip
FOR PC USERS
JUST Select the apk and right click and select winzip or any other tool and press extract
From now on use have to use your brain, gut feel, your choices and stuff.
SO Extract the zips
Got to Res folders of each apk
For Example if you are working on Settings go to
Res folder in both your rom and the cm11
in your rom go to the the file which is related to your screen resolution
Eg.
For HDPI -(drawable-hdpi)
and same with cm11 and then start comparing the pictures the both folders and there might be nice pics in (drawble-XXHDPI) folder and that doesnt mean you can take all the pics from drawable-XXHDPI after choosing your stuff replace your images and rename if necessary ( if the images look exactly the same and with different name and rename to the name of picture in your name and replace the pic ) just go into the main folder of the file of your app which you extracted and zip of your rom
For Eg. Its Setting app
after you have edited the pics
Some Other Tips
There are few pictures in blue try to edit theme with gimp or Image Editor By Byte Experts
For chaning Default Wallpaper
Go to framework-res.apk
in that go to res
then drawable
and choose the Image you want and replace the image with same name
9 pngs can be replaced in the same way, but if you want to edit them follow this video- How to easily edit .9.png files
go back to res and then back again you will find all the folders like
assets
META-INF
res
resources.arsc
AndroidManifiest.xml
Select all the files present and zip them then Rename the zip again to " Setting.apk "
now you need to push the file back to your device
Just follow this Thread - How Install a App as System APP
For Setting and SystemUI and for framework
you need to paste them in ROOT/System/framework

Great guide. Just one point/tip if I may, I see it a lot that People suggest to rename an apk to zip, well in order to open a zip you obviously need to have a program capable of doing so, so just set apks to open with your preferred zip program which will cut out the unnecessary step of having to rename each apk you want to mod.

Hey have a look at my first post and for clock you can modify jbclock+ to make it look like kk and best launcher according to me is holo kk launcher and if your running ICS+ there are many apps that looks exactly like kk launcher which version of android are you running on?? And I really think if you change many of the images in the talks it will drastically change things please have patience to read the first post
And yeah it looks like I din't work too much for this thread

@kaushikb.1996, I saw your thread of Micromax A87, in that you've themed the dialer too, right? If I attach my Phone.apk and Contacts.apk? Can you do it for me? As far I've read the OP, there's nothing bout' that. Maybe you can help?
Thank You.

No I actually din't theme it, I used exdailer and dark theme its a light and good looking too
Great thread. Helped me a lot since I'm working on a Android L themed ROM for the galaxy express using Pacrom as base. I've managed to get the settings.apk theme changed like the header and color and stuff. Trying to change the icon colors in settings and theme the dialer and framework res. Whenever I theme the dialer and framework res it the dialer doesn't show up after replacing via system/priv-app permissions -rw-r-r-. And the framework res cause a boot loop. All I did was change some pngs and .9 images and edited the XML's dimensions and styles XML to match up then made any necessary changes to the drawables due to kitkats new theming process. Shoot me a PM thanks In advance.

Well it lots like you have normally edited .9.pngs like any other picture so there is a force close as framework runs throughout the system there is probably a boot loop for now take the apks from youe rom and flash them from recovery and after that while editing .9.pngs you first decompile the apk
Then select the picture leaving that black dots and the border and save and recompile.

Not sure, but I think you can decompile the app using apktool or similar and find a folder with all the fonts, replace the fonts and recompile
Worth a try?

your wrong on all accounts and no its not worth a try.
1. the font settings are in the system settings.xml for the rom not in the apk
2.there is nothing to change inside the apk.
3.the systems fonts are located in the fonts folder in the rom not in the apk for the acuwether.
4.I fixed the problum in the settings.xml & in put the missing fonts in the fonts folder.
done but thanks anyway!

welp, that makes a lot more sense!
How do we ask for a answer and when someone tries to help you have a answer to prove them wrong that makes no sense at all if you had found the answer post your findings that helps out a bit more instead of trying to make someone look stupied.

@jackrabbit ........ @evo3d6 I more than 100% correct. If. Someone takes their own time and tries to help..... just a simple thank you is all that's needed. You seem to have this habit of belittling people. If you found your own answer. ..then you should have posted a how to. You have handled this so incorrectly my friend. And to the one who offered a answer.... thank you @a7thousandths for your time and effort.
