[Q] Changing System Font on Thunderbolt

I was recently sent a Droid Charge by Verizon as a replacement for my Thunderbolt which fell victim to the seemingly constant reboots after the May OTA update, but I HATE the Charge and am sending it back and want to keep my Thunderbolt now. However, the Charge had an option to change the system font (and, when you changed the system font, it changed almost EVERYTHING on that phone to that font, including things like the names of streets on the maps in Google Navigation, etc - and I loved that!) and now I want to be able to do that on my Thunderbolt. I have a few quick questions about that:
1. What is the easiest way to change my Thunderbolt's system font?
2. Do you HAVE to be rooted in order to do that? If so, what is the absolute simplest way to root my Thunderbolt? You'll have to pardon me, I'm VERY knowledgeable about tweaking Windows PC's and I know a lot about smartphones, but I've never rooted and I'm pretty clueless about doing that!
3. Is it possible to root my Thunderbolt and still have it appear completely stock, except for changing the font? I don't want to change my phone in any other way except for the font - with the possible exception of deleting some of the Verizon bloatware/crapware!
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can root with a guide in the Dev forum, and install a stock debloated rom.. as for changing the font, I use font changer which is a root app and as far as I can tell it themes everything.. I use the stock Ubuntu font

Thanks to the poster and the person who replied, if font changer from the market is used then the link I provided will be very helpful. Its a collection of fonts I found on xda that already edited to just copy and paste in the .fontchanger folder of your sdcard.

[APP] Huawei Launcher 2.2.1

This is a very beautiful launcher. Maybe someone can mod this for new possibilities.

I concur, it does look nice. seems to run fine... but I am sticking with adw. not that there is anything wrong with this launcher. but once I find an app that works the way I like its hard to make me change... although, I would at least consider it for this launcher.

I dont use this launcher daily but it has very usefull things.
You can hide icons and uninstall files directly from appdrawer. Its light and speed.
Built in conversation widget is very usefull. You can enable/disable icon backgrounds...
What i want if anyone can do is removing home icon and disabling 3d effect.

Very nice launcher! I've try on my nexus ( JB ) It i stall and It start but contiusly reboot... It would be great If someone try to port it

I just tried this launcher on a x10 mini no way to use it ....it don't reboot but it seems not stable on my device

This launcher working great in my samsung galaxy gt 551, i love the smoothness and the conversation widget
such a shame that it didn't have scroll widget support :\

I downloaded and installed it on my Huawei Y300-0100 installation success but when i launch the app it keeps on crashing and I cannot use the phone anymore. Any fix for this? or the app itself is not compatible with my device?

Tried on my HTC Evo LTE no go

You realize the apk was posted in 2011 right? I doubt that you are going to receive any support on such an old post.

165 LCD Density Browser UI Glitch - FIXED

Hi Guys,
If you're one of the fans of LCD density tweak on our beloved 7" phone ;D you're likely to encounter a UI glitch on the stock browser.
I personally love the speed of the stock browser, it surpasses ANYTHING I've found on the 2.3.3 tab 7 so here it is the UI fix, not much but hey! easier on the eyes
Simply push/pull the apk with the one I attached, as usual I gave no guarantee whether this mod will brick, crash, burn, or maybe eat your dog..
Cheers!

That one glitch alone made me switch to CM7. Never could get it right myself. I tip my hat sir and say thanks.

hey, i accidentally erased the stock browser from /system/app/browser.apk then the browser is gone, i try to install this one but it was not installed, it cant be installed, any help to bring back the stock browser? thanks!

you don't install this apk.. push it instead..

I replaced the browser.apk in /system/app/ with this one. The browser isnt showing up in the appdrawer anymore.

have you reboot? what density are you in? this is exclusively 165 lcd density..

I have rebootet several times and also wiped cache. The density doesnt seem to be the problem. Im usually on 182, but i just changed it to 165.
I just copied the apk to system and then changed the permissions so they match all the other apps.
From rwxrwxrwx to rw-r--r--.

[MOD][APP] Popup Browser for Tabs [P6200/P6210][RESIZABLE][NO FLASH][NO ROOT]

I was searching around for a popup browser for my tab P6200 and I came across this thread, the mod worked fine but it was too tiny for 7" screens so I decided to mod it myself and change the layout to a more suitable one for tabs and so i have further modded Gayebro's popup browser.
This app is touchwiz dependant so would only work for stock sammy based jb roms.I have only tested this with the Austrian JB Release. It could work with other Samsung devices, so please do post if it worked for you.
Installation
Just run the apk after downloading, no flashing or adb pushing required.
CREDITS
The original creator of this mod is Gyebro who made a Note 2 port for the S2, and you must thank him here for making this possible.
DISCLAMIER
I actually made this just for me and then decided to share because I thought many people could use this, this app doesn't need root and should generally be completely safe, but in a world full of conspiracies I am not taking any chances, so you should install this at your own risk.
Changelog:
v1.0
1.Changed layout to a more suitable tablet form
2.Changed Icon(I did'nt like the previous one)
3.Changed default homepage from Google to Bing.//because Google's tablet view looks ugly in a small window

I hope an update is given with this for resizing the window by pinching it or something. Anyways, looks great and integration to stock is what I was looking for. Other popup browers are plain ugly. Thanks! Hope you continue to update!

I am planning on trying to implement a more dynamic resizable button(a small one at the corner) I have an idea about trying to override the current resize functions not sure about it though , since there are some string values present by which the minimum size of the app can be defined I am optimistic, but currently I myself am satisfied with the current state of the app, will need to do some amount of research though *sigh*. Will provide other minor changes though (like a different homepage, since my brother is insisting on setting duckduckgo(a search engine with amazing privacy) as the default search engine for him, and a different themed approach).

Hi all!
I have created a new theme called 'Stockify' for EMUI4+ devices. It has a few interesting things...
Where possible all icons are replaced by their stock Android equivalent
Other icons are replaced with fully licenced icons from icons8
The theme is deployed via the Play Store - you will be automatically notified of updates and it will take you through the install and update process
The install / update tool will be open source shortly for all EMUI theme developers
The theme is currently in Beta, I will be stockifying a lot more, but you can have a play now!
Simply download from the Play Store at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.olabs.theme.stockify
Enjoy!

Wow mod :laugh:

Amazing work, mate.
Is there a way to make the lock screen more stock like?
thanks!

Could you make closed folder background slightly opaque? For me, when it's completely transparent, I can't quite make out the icons with some wallpapers.
It's nice to see you again doing stuff for the phone I own (I had the ZTE Blade years ago, I think it's still in my drawers somewhere).

Haven't tested, as I love my icon pack too much, but to achieve stock look this seems easier than the tedious "by process icon renaming" involved in emui theming.

That's not an ideal solution, as the icons for the stock apps are terrible without anything applied.
I use a similar approach but not quite the same.

Would you know an easy way to transfer an icon pack onto an emui theme ? This by-process renaming thing is depressing after 10 icons.

What format is the icon pack in?

Png's ! (With app name, just not the damn process name you have to look for).

As I told you on Twitter, Polish diacritics are broken in that theme.
Everything is OK with the theme linked below:

Yes but the font in Paul's theme had broken Polish letters. I had to look for another theme.

Thanks
Nice Theme! COOL
