Darkstar
Zune
Comfortaa
Stock
To use with MetaMorph:
Download MetaMorph from the market (FREE version, this will not work with MetaMorph PRO)
Place attached .zip on sdcard in a folder called AndroidThemes
Open MetaMorph, run the checks, "Pick Theme", select Fonts
Select the font you want to use
MetaMorph will ask you to reboot, click Yes. If you click YES and nothing happens (the popup asking you to reboot keeps coming up), just click NO and reboot manually.

[GUIDE] Triumph - CM9 - CM7 - MIUI - EASY Carrier Name Change

Disclaimer: If your phone explodes, dies a miserable death, or any of a million things, don't come crying to me. Do this at your own risk!
Having said that... this is THE EASIEST way to change the Carrier Name in CM9, CM7, and MIUI on the Triumph.
This will NOT work on stock FROYO!
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Download flashable Zip at end of post -- triumph_cm7_miui_carrier_name.zip
2. Open the Zip file and extract the eri.xml file in /data/ to your desktop using a zip utility such as WinZip, 7-zip, etc.
3. Open the eri.xml file in your favorite text editor such as notepad++.
4. In LINE 7, change Virgin Mobile in Eritext="Virgin Mobile" to whatever text you want, for example:
Code:
<EriInfo RoamingIndicator="1" IconIndex="1" IconMode="0" EriText="I am AWESOME" CallPromptId="0" AlertId="0" />
IF you want to use the following special characters in the text, you will need to use the escape characters instead (for example instead of & use & ):
Code:
Character Reference
& &
< <
> >
" "
' &apos;
5. Save the eri.xml file after making your changes.
The following are 3 methods of updating your phone. Use whichever method you are most comfortable with.
A. Using the flashable zip and flashing in CWM.
1. Add the updated eri.xml back into the /data folder in the triumph_cm7_miui_carrier_name.zip -- make sure that you use "no compression" or "store" when adding it back.
2. Save the triumph_cm7_miui_carrier_name.zip on your sdcard.
3. Reboot into CWM and flash the zip file as usual.
B. Using ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, or another file explorer capable of root. (In the instructions below, I'll reference ES File Explorer since that is what I use but the instructions should be similar for any of the file explorers.)
1. Copy the updated eri.xml file onto your sd card.
2. On your phone, open up ES File Explorer.
Make sure that you have your settings set to mount the file system as writable:
2a. In ES File Explorer, hit menu --> Settings.
2b. Make sure there is a checkmark in the following checkboxes: "Root Explorer" and "Mount File System".
3. In ES File Explorer, browse to your sd card where you saved the eri.xml file.
4. Long press on eri.xml to bring up the popup menu.
5. Select Copy.
6. Next, browse to /data/. To do that, click the Favorites button on the toolbar and select the / from the Favorites popup window and then go into /data/.
7. Hit the Menu button on your phone and select Operations --> Paste.
8. You should now see the eri.xml file in your /data/ folder.
9. Close out of ES File Explorer.
10. Toggle Airplane Mode on and then off. When your service comes back, the carrier name should reflect your new Carrier name text. If not, reboot your phone.
C. Using ADB. The following instructions are for windows but you should be able to do the same in any other OS.
1. This assumes that the updated eri.xml file is on your desktop as I instructed above and you already have your phone connected to your computer. Open the command line in Windows.
2. type the following commands:
Code:
cd %userprofile%\desktop
adb push eri.xml /data/eri.xml
3. Toggle Airplane Mode on and then off. When your service comes back, the carrier name should reflect your new Carrier name text. If not, reboot your phone.
If you are uncomfortable using adb or don't have it installed or don't know what it is, then I'd recommend using method A or B.
To UNDO all changes:
This is SUPER EASY:
1. Using ES File Explorer, browse to /data/
2. Delete the eri.xml file.
3. Toggle Airplane Mode on and then off. When your service comes back, the carrier name should reflect your original Carrier name text. If not, reboot your phone.

Nevermind. I got it. Lol. very nice.

[TUTORIAL] Centering the Lockscreen After Decreasing DPI

[Noob friendly tutorial]
A typical problem when decreasing the DPI of your device is sometimes the lock screen will offset to the right(usually).
This tutorial might help fix this problem.
Requirements:
1. Rooted device
2. File manager for viewing and managing the root directory (e.g. Root Explorer)
3. Software for decompiling and recompiling .apk files
4. Text editor, I recommend Notepad++
Prerequisite:
Backup your current ROM so that I will not be held responsible for problems the may occur on your device
Instructions:
1. Open Play Store and download "ZipSigner" by Ken Ellindwood
2. Go to the root directory which is designated as "/".
3. Open "system" folder
4. Open "framework" folder
5. Look for "framework-res.apk"
6. Copy "framework-res.apk"
7. Navigate back to your SD card directory and paste it to where you want it.
8. Connect your device to your PC.
9. Expand your phone's the notification bar, press "Charging" and change it to "USB mass storage" and press "OK". Your PC will access your phone's storage directories (SD Card and Phone Storage)
10. On your PC, go to your SD Card's directory and navigate to where you put framework-res.apk and move it to your PC's desktop (you can put it to anywhere you like, just make sure you have it in your PC's storage directory).
11. On your PC, transfer framework-res.apk in the directory of your decompiling/recompiling tool with respect to what "tool" you are using.
Main Part:
12. Decompile framework-res.apk
13. Go to its "decompiled" directory
14. Navigate to /res/layout
15. Look for "keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml"
16. Open it with a text editor
17. Look for this line:
Code:
<com.android.internal.widget.multiwaveview.GlowPadView
18. Rigt next to this line, look for the lines, "android:gravity" and "android:layout_height".
19. Change their values to "left|top" and "wrap_content" respectively
So "android:gravity" and "android:layout_height" should look like this:
Code:
android:gravity="left|top"
and
Code:
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
20. Recompile framework-res.apk
21. Sign the new, edited framework-res.apk
22. Place it back to your SD Card
23. Disconnect your device from your PC.
24. Go to your SD Card and navigate to where you have put the modified framework-res.apk
25. Using the ZipSigner app, press "Choose In/Out..." and navigate to where you put the edited framework-res.apk
26. Press "Sign The File" and ZipSigner will begin to produce a signed version of the selected apk.
27. Navigate back to where you have created the edited-and-signed framework-res.apk and it will have a "-signed" in it's name.
28. Remove the "-signed" and MAKE SURE the newly-edited-and-signed framework-res.apk is named AS IS, "framework-res.apk".
*If there are others' named "framework-res.apk" in the same directory, rename them into something different before renaming the "newly-edited-and-signed framework-res.apk" so it won't conflict with step 28.
29. After you have successfully renamed the "newly-edited-and-signed framework-res.apk", copy it.
30. Go to the root directory which is designated as "/".
31. Open "system" folder
32. Open "open "framework" folder
33. And paste-and-overwrite/override the "newly-edited-and-signed framework-res.apk" to this "framework" directory.
Note: If in some case you were prevented to paste in the "framework" directory, check to see if your root file manager is mounting the root, if not check for an option to mount the root directory
34. If you have successfully overwritten/overridden the original framework-res.apk, your device should begin to Soft-Reboot automatically. If not then, manually force your device to reboot.
And your lock screen should now be at the center.
35. Done
