Absolutely, it can't be easier than typefresh, just a simple but perfect application...you need andexplorer too, but both are free...

i too stick to Typefresh ...

TypeFresh doesn't seem to work for all, at least for me. ie: why i tried this way and it give me a success. In this way you guys can change the default ringtones, startup screen and can make so many customization.

It's mentioned HERE that the RootExplorer method works as like you said TypeFresh doesn't work for all, but for those that it does it's the quickest and easiest way.

Can you give me a brief description, how to edit DroidSansFallback? (Win/OS X)
I'd like to add wingdings.ttf to it, so symbols on webpages an e-mails are shown correctly if they embed wingdings typos.

Right click, rename, done, the same as you edit the others.

That would replace it. But I want wingdings to be there beside all stock types. So I was thinking of merging DroidSansFallback with wingdings.

i'm sticking with typefresh

Font changer lite works well on freex 10 2.2.1. Found type fresh didn't work for me and found this. It's free on market

You could try the app "Screen Off and Lock" from the Market, not quite as slick as the real thing since it doesn't map to the power button, but not bad in the meantime!

How do you replace the old framework-res.apk ?
I've tried Root Explorer with no success... The file is read only.

Click the little mount r/o button then try to paste it
Your phone will restart and when it comes back on, this and battery percentage should both work

Much more simpler to do than explaining it ...
Thanks to tr.supradeep for it post ... if you have root make like this ... it works on all rom and all themes ... better than flashing someone framework.res.apk that can stuck your phone in bootloop ...
FOR THOSE WHO JUST WANT TO ENABLE CRT ANIMATION WITHOUT CHANGING THEME IN CODEROM:
Just follow the steps given below regarding build.prop and probably if there is no mistake then it should work.
How to enable CRT animation:
1. Pull out "build.prop" using adb or copy it to your comp using Root Explorer. Modify it as suggested ahead. It resides in /system/build.prop .
2. Open build.prop and modify one(or two on coderomnexus) of the line.
'debug.sf.hw=1' is the line in the file. Replace it by '#debug.sf.hw=1'. Indirectly you are just changing the line into a comment by adding a #.
3. Now take this file and replace your original build.prop. You can do this by using adb or root explorer it doesnt matter.
4. Now apply any of the themes provided below using the steps given above.
5. Reboot phone.
NOTE: If the CRT animation is not working after reboot then reapply theme after you have modified your build.prop and try to reboot and see. And also enable all animations or some animations in Settings->Display->Animation for CRT animation to work.
NOTE: If you cannot follow the instructions given here please follow the link given below.
Video for Instructions to enable CRT animation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6RsSZ4X2w
Credit for the Video: GadgetCheck (Thank you very much GadgetCheck )
Hope this works for all of you.
Any problems please comment. And i do hope many other developers use my theme and make newer or older theme with the CRT animation enabled as i cannot do it all by myself.
Please click Thanks if this post helped you.

Modified framework-res.apk for KK1
I had modified framework-res.apk with the animation turned on only for KK1 per attachment. Just replace the one in /system/framework.

jcklau.
U mind giving telling me what files to replace in framework-res.
I got a heavily modded framework that I dont want to loose. It would be easier if I just recompile ur xml into my framework rather than the other way round.
What xml did u edit.?
And any additional files?
Also, is it both crt on and off... or only off effect?
Thnx a million.

I edited res/values/bools.xml
Changed "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">true</bool>" to "<bool name="config_animateScreenLights">false</bool>"
Hope it helps.

[Q] Why is my boot animation now working?????

hey
so i am trying to create my first boot animation, and have done everything according to the guide, well i think i have at least, and have tried so many different things i am kinda out of ideas. so please if someone can tell me what i am doing wrong i would really appreciate it a lot.
so this is basically what i have tried: tried running only the "part0" folder with one pic inside, it worked but then as soon as added in the "part1" it didnt. also tried using a boot animation that works and putting just my pics in the folders, didnt work. also changed the "c" to "p" and vice versa and it didnt work. so to be honest i have no more ideas:/
i am doing it for my samsung s5830i.
this is the boot animation i made View attachment bootanimation.zip
would really really appreciate it if somone could help.

Don't know what is exactly you problem but here are somethings which you should remeber while creating bootanimation.
1. First and most important, always choose "store" or "none " compression method while which actually means there should be no compression. If you choose even 1% compression you will get error (blank screen )
2. Always remember to leave last line of "desc.txt" blank.
3. P or C doesn't matter. It only tells about instruction.
4. Only 1 part is sufficient but if you have more than 1, dont forget about to give instructions about it in desc.txt
5. Set permission to rw-r-r- of bootanimation.zip
6. in "desc.txt", each instruction should be on new line.
Try these. I will see your bootanimation.zip file and will tell you.

Yes, You have to leave last line blank.
I don't know which file explorer you use. I use root explorer.
When you paste bootanimation.zip in system>media folder, just press on it for 2-3 seconds, menu will appear on which you will see an option named "permissions". Open it and tick as shown in image attached. Then press ok. Done!
Press thank if i helped!

I am not sure if it is possible, but can you perhaps download it and try it on your device, not sure if you can do that? i am using es file explorer by the way. Any more suggestions, i really want to get this right?

You were correct. Its really pissing me off too!
btw i forgot to mention you one important thing. When you compress all the zip files, choose "store" or "none" compression. It basically means 0% compression. Hope you have done this.
If not, just try with original files as i dont have them. Remember dont use extracted/compressed files, use original size files. Hope you have not deleted them.
If you cant find option of store in your zip archiver, use 7-zip and zip them.
If it still fails, let me know. We will start again from scratch.

Yeah u mentioned about the compression. And yes I have just zipped to store. So it should work. But yes I still have original files. Do u want me to upload the original files to?
Btw I really appreciate your help and effort

IT WORKED BRO! :victory:
I just extracted all your images. Resized all of them to 240x320 (my screen size). Also I replaced c with p in desc.txt (because 'c' only supports for jellybean onwards, I am on gingerbread). Then I compressed them and placed in system > media, and changed permission. And rebooted. And BOOM! It worked.
I saw your image size 321x480. I think you should resize all of them to 320x480. Maybe that is causing problem.
P.S. I used this tool to resize multiple images at once.Online Batch resize

What really!!!! That's so awesome!!!! Ok well I will try it and let u know....I really hope it works.

Ok so i found the problem. When i was using es viewer for some reason it was changing the format of the .txt file. so i downloaded aonther one and boom it works. so now i have made two bootanimations so far thanks for all the help

[LOLLIPOP] Ported 4K & Timeshift video from Xperia Z3

I finally made!!!!
i'm here to tell you how to obtain 4K & Timeshift video without Xposed Framework and put to work on our awesome Xperia Z1...
After a lot of experimentation i finally got it!!!!
Let's go:
METHOD 1
1º - Download and unpack the View attachment 4K_lp.zip, after that copy to your SD CARD.
2º - Reboot into Recovery and make a nandroid backup; Reboot your Z1.
3º - Now using a file explorer (I always use Root Explorer) copy the content of the unpacked zip in your respective folders.
IMPORTANT: remember that in LOLLIPOP the folder has a 0755 permission and all the files has the same 0644.
to make easy change permission, put the file explorer to show by date.
Done that, just reboot your phone and enjoy!!!
METHOD 2
Thanks to @iedafarha that made a flashable zip...
just reboot into recovery mode and flash the View attachment 4K_lp_FLASHABLE.zip.
reboot and Enjoy!

Look at ss one more pblm call button get covered by nav buttons

I am not aware of any other way to resize it xcept the gravity box. The only way to unhide the call button is ofcourse resizing it. Or try using other software like ex dialer or some other launcher.
