Changing font?

Ive looked mult places and there no real easy or concrete answer. Can we have a step by step or some screenshots to assist? Ive renamed files and downloaded new fonts. Also used programs to point to a new font. Nothing works. Please assist. Ive used and am currently using nuefont, but would like to change to more fonts and be able to change the bottom bar text, (like calendar and contacts)

This thread will probably be moved to the Question and Answer section. Also, please be more specific as for your device specs so we can better assist you (OS, phone, etc).

I am able to change font for eveything except sms and bottom tool bar. Also im on a titan 6800. Stock everything except applications.

use Settings+ (you can find it in the forum)
I think RC_Mod does this as well.

I am not sure I understand your question. Do you want to reskin them?

On Home screen
go to Menu -> CHT Editor -> SoftKey-> Switch off - Enable CHT Soft Keys -> Menu -> Apply Changes -> Home
restart sense

i think he wants to assign programs to the softkeys
with this release, only 3 are possible.
ask in the CHT or CHTE thread, if they could make more possible in next release

I am not sure I understand your question. 我不明白你说的什么

nobody understands your question, but I want to ask the same.
How to change the built in icons of the soft keys?
There is no mention of it in the manual.
I dont want to change the functionality, I dont want to reassign the programs or commands, I just want to change the built-in icons for custom ones.
thank you in advance

Ahh This is actually quite simple. Copy the cht_softkey files from your windows folder into your computer. Use these as templates when creating your new softkey icons. Then simply place them back into the windows folder and reset.

It's bad practice to spam threads for each specific question, when a CHT2 thread already exists.
Furthermore, this question has been already answered and if you had bothered to search you would have known that.
Finally, the name of the thread is very general and therefore is useless for anyone trying to look for information.
I would suggest to the mods to close it or to move it to the CHT thread.

dont worry I didnt try to use any search tool. if I didnt, I wouldnt land in this post
and I agree, thanks to miller710 the mods can lock this thread but not to move it or any, because google leads here.
the CHT thread is too complex, too huge and even when you try to google "cookie's home tab" that thread is not between the results.

Remember to take backup of the 'CHT_XXXX' files from the Windows folder, befor you overwrite them with the new icons/.png files.
Some of the icons e.g. the Notification icons is not .png files but manila files, and you need a manila editor to change them.

Really appreciated - was imo a good question with a bad header
I have searched alot to find this answer - but ended up just seeing this by coincidence. - anway /cheers for being able to change the two 'fixed' icons.
In general when searching for Co0kie Monsters Threads ... don't be fooled by only knowing the writers name - know how to write the writers name.
Cookie Monster = Wrong
Co0kie Monster = Right
Kindly and Thanks for opening this this thread!
Kwasmir

jkolner: backuping is definitely suggested, allways, anytime when doing any "hacking"
Kwasmir: yeah, now when I found the real CHT2 thread I am aware of that little detail cookie x co0kie thanks

I would suggest creating a separate thread named "CHT tips and tricks" where would be the final solutions colected and published.
perfect for searching, perfect for spreading CHT genius

[Q] Handcent Skin Packs

So now that Handcent has released skin packs I've been trying to find a way to basically rip open the skinpack APK and replace the images and whatnot to create my own skins. I haven't found a solution thus far and I was hoping the experts here could help me out. I've opened it up in APK Edit and attempted to swap images but it won't install. I'm not sure where I went wrong but I'm curious on how one of you would approach the process.
I assumed APK Edit would resign the *.apk file but maybe that's what I'm missing. I'll keep pecking away at it and see what I can come up with but any assistance would be aweome.

Hi
Any news on this? Would really like to see some Custom skins soon.. and the ability to create own... and customize for example the popup and such

Bump for interest

apk edits

would really like to edit some of my apps with the first on my list being the phone/dialer activity so that I can remap the left button on the dialer to *86 and not get a force close everytime I use it....can some one help me do this or at least point me in the right direction...I have the dialer looking the way that I want but that button not being functional is bugging the **** out of me. Thanks in advance.
Danny
Edit: I would also like to have some help changing the color of the in and out bubble colors on the stock messaging app since the gold and baby blue don't go with my theme anymore...want like a android green and cobalt blue but when I change them with gimp...the bubbles don't show up the right size I guess gimp doesn't edit .9png files properly

ICS ShapeWriter...

I know not everyone prefers ShapeWriter, not sure why it's the best keyboard out there, but with all the ICS stuff and themeing, here's a ICS themed ShapeWriter Keyboard.
ps-if anyone knows how to change the tracer color, please let me know. I've asked, pm'd, googled, all with no luck.

just like swipe. its in the libshapewriter.so file. only way to edit it is to use a hex editor. use this as a guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162558
you will need to figure out what the HEX code for the stock color and find it in the .so

OK. So any help on finding that color in Hex Editor? I knew it was in the .so file but don't know the location.

you would have to decompile it and see what the hex code is used for the color then search the .so for it.
its easier in linux. i will see what i come up with then i am home tonight.

Thanks. I appreciate it. No worries if nothing happens.

I thought I was the only person alive that still uses shapewriter. Is there any way to remove the background image? It's a bit distracting

Check this out. It's a few replies in. If you want a certain color or background or whatever, I could probably do something for ya.

After I posted that, I did a little playing around.. Made an orange and black one to go with my orange MIUI 4.0 theme

Got it. I posted on other thread.

Shapewriter bug
HI
long time shapewriter user - recently upgraded to ICS (BCM on the desire)
did a restore of shapewriter from a titanium backup of it i had (this was from CM7 ie gingerbread). Works perfectly but for one problem: Whenever i switch to the number keyboard it duplicates the last digit when i switch back to the alpha keyboard.
Any ideas how to fix or workaround?
Presume the "data" part of the titanium restore is the bit that cointain info on my writing style etc so would be up to 2 years worth of learned data that i would rather not have to wipe and relearn. Maybe the app isnt as clever as this. Im not sure?

I think you might be able to do a fresh install and then copy over the library files. Once I get to a computer I'll look into it.

Shaspewriter isnt available on the market/play any more i know that there are modified variants out there but i'm not so comfortable getting it from a lesser source do to the security/easy ability to capture all keyboard input - do i need a special installer file etc or will the data stored by titanium backup suffice. Not sure if it has the apk file.
Any help appreciated.

I have a galaxy note and am still using shapewriter as it is STILL the best tracing keyboard out there. BUT unfortunately it appears on the note in a compacted form, only taking up 2/3 of the width of the screen. Does anyone know if there is a version that would adapt to any screen size??

ICS Shapewriter [Now with xhdpi support!]
Here is a nice ICS themed shapewriter. It also has support for hi res devices. :laugh:
