I noticed recently that when I receive a new Gmail message, the new message is highlighted and bold, etc. just like normal...but every other message in my inbox is also bolded. And once I read the message and I have ZERO new messages, everything remains bold until the app is either force closed or ends by itself (by Android multitasking or whatever).
I thought it was due to the ICS theme I'm using, but I'm seeing now that every theme is doing this...I also installed the Roboto font sometime before the ICS theme, so maybe that's it? I used the font from the Font Installer app in the market.
I tried searching for more info, but it doesn't seem anyone has this problem. I've deleted data/uninstalled and reinstalled the Gmail app a few times and it still winds up happening. At first I thought it happened randomly, but I'm pretty sure I've narrowed it down to only when I get new emails.
Not a big problem, but annoying nonetheless. Does anyone know what could cause this and/or how to fix?
Having the same issue as well. Running the ICS theme by Sonny on CM7. I also installed the Roboto font. Kind of weird though I didn't notice this right off though. Seems like it took a few days after installing the ICS theme before it happened to me.
A fix would be nice, but as you said it's not a huge issue, but I'm curios as well as to the cause.

Which Roboto are you using? Did you use a Market app to install it or a CWM zip or something?
I used the font installer included in Rom Toolbox, I do believe it's the same as Font Installer on the market by Jrummy (uses the same storage location on the Sd Card anyway)
To be honest, I'm not positive on which version of the Roboto font was installed. I placed all versions (Bold, Itallic and regular in my fonts folder). The font installer shows me a preview of only the Bolded version, which looks like what I'm getting in Gmail.
I'm going to download FontChanger from the market and see what happens with that.
Edit: Tried Font Changer. While it does give more options and the ability to choose whichever version the of the Font I want to install, still have the same issues. After a reboot, all my read email was perfect, as soon as I sent an email to myself, right back to all unread mail being bold again.

So are you only getting it with the Roboto font? What about other fonts/stock font/etc.?
Only with Roboto font. I tried a few other fonts and no problems. Weird

Hmmm lame.. I think I'm gonna try installing Roboto from another source then some time to see if that helps. I don't really see why a font would make this happen
Ok, now this is weird. I used Helvetica which is very similar to Roboto, and sure enough, the same thing happens. Bold read emails. I switch to Caviar Dreams font, and back to the normal Unbold read emails in Gmail. Wow this is really crazy

Hmmm kinda seems like its just a problem with certain fonts that's gone mostly unnoticed before now! I was gonna flash the roboto font in zip form, but the flash failed so I'll have to figure that out next. What other options for installing roboto are there?
Map the font in this manner using fontchanger:
DroidSans --> Roboto-Regular or Roboto-Condensed
DroidSans-Bold --> Roboto-Bold or Roboto-CondensedBold
This should fix your issues.

To begin... make a backup 1st.... not responsible for damages while left in the parking garage.. enjoy the game!
This theme was made with permission of "thebowers". It's his creation. I brought it into GB land for the X2. I don't know if I did everything he did but I can tell you that I have made image edits galore for resizing purposes and to get all the new GB images not yet themed. I have also edited the crap out of a lot of xml's so things should work 100% smoothly out of the box. I have also incorporated some inverted apps which, I had nothing to do with. Credit there goes to thebowers, ecsnead and B-Boy. I themed the Phone and I started on the other 2 but, then, I saw someone else already did pretty much the same thing. So, I just used that. No need to waste time. That would be bouchigo. You can find him on rootzwiki. I also made a few apps myself because once I got going on 0.2.2, I got carried away.
Also, I changed the boot animation. It matches the theme oh so well. Credit there goes to Versatile1 because he made it.
Before we begin, I will list all the apps I have included. For ease of use, I highly recommend getting rid of any app on the list from your phones data folder first. For example, if you downloaded Facebook from the market, remove it from your data folder. Not saying you HAVE TO, just putting it out there if you run into issues, you know how to fix them.
Also for the market... this one you do HAVE to do... First, verify that you DO NOT have a vending app in \data\app!!!!! If you do this will not install!!! You will need to uninstall updates before flashing... Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>"ALL" tab>Market>Uninstall Updates
Will it break your phone if you don't do that? No, it just won't install a market... at all!
Lastly, I have taken the time to guide every .9.png file in the framework and in every app I touched. What this means to you.... If you want to make other changes, everything will decompile and recompile without error. Of course you need to add the dependencies if your editing systemui or settings but thats a blur thing. Not something I did.
Now.. onto the part anyone actually cares about..
The theme is located here.... No.. over there ----> ok its actually back there <------
If you see any issues or think of anything else to add let me know.
Here's whats included
framework
SystemUI
Calculator
Camera
Contacts
Dialer
Phone
Facebook (Inverted)
Gallery3D
Gmail (Inverted)
Google Quick Search (Inverted)
Keyboard (updated from 2.2 to be darker)
Settings (Inverted)
GTalk (Inverted)
Market (Inverted)
Google Voice (Inverted)
Some of these apps will be called dark or black in the app drawer. Example: Facebook = Dark Facebook

Anyways, what are the chances we could just install the apps individually? I'm really only interested in the blacked out gmail.

just open up the theme in 7zip and delete what you dont want.
No stone unturned... we had to do some smali edits on gmail to get it to work. looks good though. now i realize that is the screenshot that is missing.
I just extracted the apk and used root explorer to push it into system/app. Changed permissions, rebooted, and voila!

Good stuff man. I noticed a few small things that I thought I would share, nothing deal breaking or anything like that.
1.) I noticed when you're in the middle of unlocking the phone theres like a slight white bar in the unlock tab, this doesn't occur when you switch between silent and audible mode.
2.) When you're in a call and say if you're on speaker and drag down the notifications the call information is pretty hard to see maybe a lighter shade of black?
3.) Some of the press colors are still orange/blue.
4.) When downloading from a browser the status bar is blue opposed to red and you can't read what you're downloading (b on b issue).
Still one slick theme regardless! Thanks!
Very nice work xkape. Appreciate the quick turnaround for 0.4.
I noticed there is something unthemed in the blacked out gmail. When in your inbox an you check an email and click on the "labels" button that interface is not blacked out, it is black type on a white bg. When you scroll on this screen the entire screen blacks out and you cannot read your labels. Not a deal breaker by any means but I am just throwing it out there.
Sounds like the colorchachehint is ok (thats what makes it black when you scroll) but the bg and text need to be switched. I'll take a look at that.

1) Should be an easy fix
2) Just saw that. I tested to see if it was in frame or phone and im pretty sure I just missed it in the framework. I'll find it.
3) Theres just so many of the damn things. Hard to get em all.
4) Never used the stock browser before. I use Dolphin HD. So, this one probably won't get fixed.
I'm adding one... in the phone when you are looking at a specific number in recent. if you click on it for "call details" that screen needs fixed. I think Im also going to darken the text of the unselected tabs. I thought the grey I chose was darker than that.
And by the way.. thank you both for pointing those out to me. I can't fix the theme and make it better if I don't know it needs to be.
I use boat browser mini.
I did some investigationg into the ongoing black on black issue in the status bar. Each app sets that seperately. The only way to fix that would be to either a) make the whole things white again with black text or b) edit each app that points at a black color instead of a white one for text. I will edit it for phone app and for dolphin.
Nice theme, I haven't found anything I don't like. The boot animation is sweet too.
I've never been a fan of just black and white themes, but this looks very tasteful. I'll give this a shot after flashing Eclipse .4 later!
triton, I never was either. In fact, I had never even used BNB. But, I came to feel that colorized themes just didnt work for me anymore. So I decided Id use BNB and edit up to the X2.
Although, I must admit, I am a sucker for those neon themes in Blue or Red.

Eh, the neon themes are ok, but I'm picky about what themes I have on my device. This one you made looks great though!

thanks triton!
I've got a list from peoples feedback of a few imperfections here and there. I'll be fixing those real soon as well.
I ran into an issue with the app shortcuts on my home screen not moving to delete. They were frozen. I could add them to the homepage but couldn't delete. I flashed eclipse.4 and everything is working correctly now. I did install that speedy zip yesterday. Not sure if that was the issue or not. Would that be launcher issue or something in the theme zip?
Can someone tell me how I can make an APK so i can install fonts on my SGS2 and select them in the font app the came with the phone?
I do not want zips for flashing as I do not desire to change the system default font, but rather the option to add more choices.
I tried taking a look at some of the other font apks I have downloaded but have not been able to ascertain how they are made so that I can recreate.
I made a couple of own font .apks based on this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
First time will take a while till you finish it and get it to work, but once you get the hang of it, you make own flipfonts like a machinegun
And flipfonts are the ones that appear under Settting - Display - Screen Display - Fontstyle? so I can change them around without the "hack" of overwritting Droid Sans and having to reboot?
Because I have the Fontomizer SP app installed which also comes with a slew of fonts which are installed like any regular app and they show up in "Font Style" and I can swap around without ever having to reboot. And thats what I want to do to with "my own" font APK's as well.

Correctomundo, that's them
I have noticed this as an issue on 3 different ROMs that I have flashed and thinking it must be a Sense 4.0 issue, but thought I would ask anyway.
Inside of the MMS/SMS app, when reading a text, the text size is huge. I've set the font size to small inside the app, but nothing changes.I've also set the font size inside the system settings (settings -> display -> font size) to small, but the text size remains pretty large. Anyone know of a way to make this stick so the font is small?
The other issue is that if I set the message preview to 1 line (also inside the MMS/SMS app), it sticks until I go to another app and then come back into the MMS app, and then the preview is either 2 or 3 lines. VERY annoying and somewhat cosmetic, but is bugging the hell out of me.
I have tried this on Viper, Flipz and Joelz ROMs and the result is the same on each, so this is why I'm thinking it's a Sense 4.0 issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
For the font size issue, open a text message and then pinch the screen where the conversation is. It should zoom out and make them smaller.

It probably won't.
I noticed the same "bug" and it seems like it randomly resizes the font.
I changed the font size to small in the system settings and it didn't change until I rebooted. Have you tried that yet by any chance?

Using the pinch method above did work for the font size inside the texts themselves, but didn't help with the preview.
And yes, I did also try changing the size and then rebooting but that didn't work either.
Same bug exists in email app, as far as preview line setting.

Same with mine. I rebooted and it went smaller but then the next time I went to it, it was small again. I wish there was more control over having different font sizes for different things.

message preview
i have exactly the same problem with the message previews... it's infuriating! after rebooting it reverts to 2-line preview but in the sms messages app settings it still says that it's set to 1-line
ive looked everywhere and cant seem to find this problem mentioned anywhere except from here...
i had this problem on ordroid 9 and now on viper. have tried superwipe, clearing app cache, etc to no avail..
did you find any solution? or does anyone have any ideas to make it stick when rebooting

No, I never did find any solution other than pinching the screen to reduce the text size. I have tried around 6 or so sense-based ROMs and they all do it, so I'm chalking it up to sense.

This has probably been answered elsewhere, but the Lollipop logo font is simply called 'and'. It has two typefaces, light and black. It was made bay a company called A2type specifically for Google. It's license makes it non-redistributable but it can be extracted from the Androidify apk under framework/res/fonts.
Unfortunately, the font is not available as a standard ttf to be installed as a system font on Android. and-light is available only as an .otf. and-black on the other hand is a ttf font which can be installed on Android, but both font typefaces suffer from an extreme vertical offset that causes text to be off center or cut off throughout the interface. In order to make the font usable, someone would pretty much have to copy the glyphs onto a new font with proper spacing in order for it to look correct, which would be a considerable undertaking. Which really is a shame, because and is a very attractive font and would make the perfect compliment to the new Lollipop UI.
Lollipop Logo Font
Update:
Well, if you want something done, you have to do it yourself. I took the liberty of "fixing" this font, and I created light, regular, bold and italic typefaces. Enjoy!!!
Note, there are a few bugs that occurred from the conversion process which I will fix as I find time.
Download the font here:

UPDATE 5/2/15
I've fixed quite a few errors like the trailing e at the end of words, the percent sign and various alternate characters showing up in the place of certain punctuations.

Hello,
I used themer on CM11 for some months but the last month I had an 4.03 which isn't supported.
Yesterday I flashed CM12(android 5.02) and I started to use themer again. The problem is that in this latest version of themer when I try to change a font, the loadind of fonts is very slow and very often crash the app. Sometimes after 3-5 minutes I can see the list and choose a font, but this is very slow and I need to change fonts(to support my language) very often. I tried another app which loads a fonts list and it does it almost immediately, so doesn't seem to be device's or rom's problem.
Is there any faster way to change fonts of a theme? For e.g by editing an xml file or something?

Hi there,
Unfortunately Themer only works well when changing the fonts within Zooper. Everything else could lead to crashes. If you would like to change the fonts (for widgets only), placing new ones inside the /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts folder. If Themer is still crashing we recommend unistalling the app, deleting the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder then resinstalling Themer.
Hope this helps!
Marco
Sorry, I've misleading you. In fact, the problem is when trying to load the font list within Zooper. This is very slow and cause themer crashes, or hot reboot sometimes.

I didn' do anything special, and this happened in all themes with zooper I tried. For e.g I just tried on "Orange Glow" theme.
-open advanced menu
-choose unlock widgets
-tap and hold on a zooper widget
-select configure
-select widget disign(or something, I haven't english UI)
-choose a text element
-select text font element
at this last step I get the "loading" popup dialog for a long time. Sometimes after more than 2 minutes the font list is displayed, but usually themer crashes before that.
This time I tried on a saved version of the above theme and the font list displayed a lot faster. So seems that this happens with fresh downloaded themes, not the saved versions of them. It happens only one time(now) though.
EDIT:
I tested it one more time and it happens again. So the problem exists and with saved version of theme.
EDIT2:
I attached the log when I'm trying to change font(this time the font list appear after 2 minutes).

Hi,
Just to check, what device are you using? Also, what app are you referring to when you say that you tried loading another fonts list.
Thanks!
My device is an old Huawei Ideos X5, but with a custom CM12 rom. The app I used was a module app for xposed with name PerAppFonts. I haven't xposed installed though and I don't use this app/module, just use it to test how quick the font list loaded.
