Ice Cream Sandwhich Goodies from SDK! Roboto Font and /system partition!

Hey guys, I downloaded the new SDK and opened up the ICS system.img. I made a .zip for the Roboto font and I am uploading the entire /system partition as we speak.
Just so you know, the current smali/baksmali doesn't work. Even tried the modified baksmali for HC, so until these tools are updated, these apps can't be deodexed.
Here is the Roboto font - http://bit.ly/nKvZlh
--Flashable (depending on phone) thanks to johno168 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18548623&postcount=12
Here is the /system partiton - http://bit.ly/q8Wb3S
Here is just the /system/app folder - http://bit.ly/pamKdr

I would but I have a million other things I'm working on right now. Maybe someone else can do this.

Thanks for the font, can't wait to put it on my phone!

Entire /system partition is up!

just tried to install gmail apk on sg2. 'there is a problem parsing the package'

Everything is now up - font, /system partition, and just the apps from /system/app
Enjoy

You can't install it like that. It's a /system app. You have to push the .apk and the corresponding .odex file to /system/app, chmod 644, and possibly reboot and prepare for a ton of FCs.

i see. i guess ill leave it to the devs. lol

You don't just flash them. And if you have to ask, you shouldn't be messing with it...

Don't think those apps are compatible at all.

ICS ROM how to change fonts?

Question anyone using ICS roms. I have a question i used to use Font changer or font installer to change fonts for Gingerbread roms. For some reason this wont change anymore. It seems it is defaulted to roboto ttf files. I tried to change in system file but still no luck. If i change roboto fonts and replace my phone bricks.. Anyone knows how to change the fonts on ics? Thx

wanna now to

Is there anyone?

Have you tried to create a flashable zip for your fonts? Take a look @ /system/fonts/ and change the fonts you wanna change (DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf for example)
On your computer or laptop create a folder for /system/fonts/ and put your fonts there, renamed to reflect the fonts you wanna change. Then zip up the system folder along with a compatible META-INF folder with correct updater-script and update-binary and you should be good. Flash your newly created zip in recovery

I do not know how to make a flashable zip file.. But i did play around with my own. I used font installer and did the following. changed the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf. Changing those two didnt help but i checked mark on the Roboto-Regular.ttf and did the change. Yes, that did change my fonts but When i change the Roboto-Bold.ttf. My phone won't start it it will just not boot up. So only checked roboto-regular, DroidSans-bold and DroidSans and it worked. I think something to do with the bold fonts in ICS. Not sure... Wish i could try if i know how to make the flashable zip... Thx Maybe ill do some research and find out..

Other TTF fonts in Gear Watch Designer?

Is there a way to include another TTF font in GWD?
If not, how do I use the bitmap font option? I am not familiar with using fonts another way. It appears that for bitmap fonts, I need a file for each character(?) What size? What format?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

you make a picture of each number in png. size is whatever you want it to be.

Can you recommend a tool to convert TTF to such images?

since you can only use numbers 0-9, it makes much more sense to just do it manually, with photoshop, or your preferred open source non-evil alternative.

Hello,
I have fond that if you put your TTF file in the [GWD_install_dir]/font directory and restart the tool, the font is made available as a TTF font in the tool. It is also correctly exported and used to the watch.

Interesting. I tried that with one font, and it did not work. After reading your post, I went back and tried some other fonts and they did work. I suppose there is just something odd about the first font that I tried.
Thanks.

I found that the font extension had to be .ttf, if it was .TTF, they didn't work.

THANKS! That worked!!!!

Be sure to check the licenses on the typefaces you use; you don't want to get nailed for copyright infringement. I suppose this is why the typefaces need to be in the application's font directory as opposed to its just using the system typefaces, as the .ttf gets bundled into the rpm, er, tpk.
At first glance it's dumb that the application is case sensitive on Windows and OS X (both are merely case-retentive unless you enable case sensitivity) but it's actually quite logical (one of the few smart things about GWD at this point); you're building packages which are destined for a platform which is case sensitive rather than merely case retentive.

I tried but I cannot see these fonts in the tool...
I have renamed it from .TTF to .ttf but nothing to do...
Any idea why?
Thanks

make sure you have the fonts in both the font folder and the temp folder. updating to GWD 1.0.2 wipes out the fonts so you have to put them back manually. DOH!

I put a .ttf font in both temp and font folder, restarted GWD and I still can't choose this font for my digital watch.
Any idea?
I am GWD 1.03 on Mac.

Same here

Other than "properties/details" how would you otherwise check to make sure the font is not copyright ©?
Thanks.

Which tool you guys using to add .ttf fonts to the s3?

"Font Style" on U11?

I can't find it anyplace,and I don't see anyplace in the HTC theme app to use already existing fonts, it seems to only allow you to use cloud fonts.
Anyone know how to change the fonts other than via "font style", without physically overwriting the existing system font with a different one?
I'm rooted, and fairly good with a terminal if needed, though would prefer a chooser with a GUI.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried Googling "flashable fonts?" I haven't used any on this phone (yet...you have sparked my interest in that again...), but you can download fonts that are flashed through recovery.

The ifont app allows you to upload your own fonts if you don't already see it in their choices.

If you use the stock theme app you can download fonts from there

If you can find font APK, install it then choose it in Theme app.

I've got the fonts on my phone, in the /system/fonts/ folder with the stock ones, same permissions,. etc. but I see no place to change from the stock font to one of them instead. in older versions of android there was a 'Font Style' section to change the system font, I don't see it on the U11 at all.
The HTC theme app, and all the APK's I've seen, either force you to download fonts or rename fonts to the stock font (like 'roboto.ttf') and overwrite it, to trick the system; or both.
I don't have a problem getting fonts on there, I'm asking how do I take the fonts I have, and change the system font to one of them, like the (apparently deprecated) 'font style' section in settings allowed you to?

Not sure if stock Android always had a theming engine. From what I've seen only Samsung stock ROMs and Xiaomi phones have that support. But a rootless theming engine is coming in Oreo for sure:
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-rootless-system-theme/
Anyway the way I change font without overwriting existing font is, copy whatever fonts I want to /system/fonts, change those fonts to permission 644, and then edit /system/etc/fonts.xml to override the existing sans-serif fonts, which is usually the Roboto family. This works for other languages as well if you scroll down.
Every time you change this will require a system reboot to utilize the new changes, so I usually do this in twrp

Ok, found the workaround. This post was incomplete and not detailed, your phone needs to be rooted first to have it work. This should have been mentioned in the prerequisites.
