Android 2.1 - lock screen font change - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED USERS - CAN MESS UP YOUR DEVICE
I found the way how to change the font used for lock screen time.
Just replace existing fonts with those you like in framework-res.apk (better use True Type)
framework-res.apk\assets\fonts\
SoMALight.ttf
SoMARegular.ttf

Looks very cool! Which font did you use for the first pic?

---

Sweet job on finding those files
can you share them fonts please? =]

---

Nice !! It only replaces lock screen font or whole system ??
And btw, what theme are you using ?

---

...replacing of mentioned fonts changes only the lock screen time font (not datum), I did not find any other affected area.
The fonts I used are from this site http://www.1001freefonts.com/
..but some fonts I have tried are too wide or too tall, so you need to find proper one, mainly if you use 24h format of time, I had problems with for example 23:58 and similar "wide times", but you can quickly check it by changing the system time, that you will see the worst scenario and check if your new font is working properly. Only what will happen if not is that the time will be split or something like that, but you can try another than...
The teme I use is the black HTC one, I just modified the slider buttons to be all transparent, i do not need them there 'cause I know what to do with my device..
The wallpaper is Pop Squares, which is the best live wallpaper I found until now..

Thanks for the info, dude. Much appreciated.

---

is this still applicable for the current version on x10 mini pro? xxxxxxx.6?

---

Awesome! Thanks

---

What am I doing wrong here?
If I push the edited framework-res.apk back to the phone with ADB, while the phone is on, it freezes and resets and I then have to boot into xrecovery and do a restore.
If I do the same when the phone is booted into xrecovery, it works, but then after I've rebooted the phone the original framework-res.apk file is back again.

---

It seems to not be pushing anything to the phone even though it displays this:
1731 KB/s (10056079 bytes in 5.671s)
Tried it with a PNG file as well. Looks like it's pushed, but it doesn't show up in root explorer.

Hey there is an easier way to do this
Go to the market and download type fresh and andexplorer
When you install them download you desired font
When you have your font in your sd card open up type fresh
Press the menu buttom and click on backup fonts accept allow with superuser and after thats done press where it says clockopia and with file explorer select your font and the press the menu button again and click on apply font
When the proccess ends your lockscreen font will be changed!
If this was useful thank me!

Yes, initially I tried both Type Fresh and Font Changer to change the Clockopia font, but it seems this font isn't used for the lock screen clock on the x10 mini pro, unlike on other phones.
When I type "adb boot recovery" it gives an error: protocol fault (no status) and then my phone resets and starts up again without entering recovery. Why is this?

---

Yay fixed it.
Seemed to have been a problem with xrecovery. Kept getting "remount failed: Unknown error: 0" when typing adb remount.
Replaced it with CWM recovery and it worked.
