Can it be used with X10 mini?
yeahh it can be
THX, it works nice
How weird, I tried this method twice after installing MiniCMPro 7 Rom, and it bricked the phone two times. It gets stucked at Sony Ericsson screen, I have to remove battery in order to restore the phone
To me it's always easier to complete things with simple copy/paste actions in RootExplorer. In this case there are only two fonts that needs to be copied to system/fonts folder.
It's Roboto and Roboto-Bold. Just rename them into DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold, and then paste them into system/fonts folder (replacing the stock ones). Set rw-r-r permisions, reboot, and that's it.
I use Font Changer.

When I've done this for a lot of fonts, when I reboot, I cant ever get back in, I have to end up reflashing as if I damged a system file, it just does endless booting loops. Never tried doing just one or two at a time though...

I have my custom font working properly in FlipFont with icon and font preview. There is still some stuff to figure out, and i HOPE some one will help me out as I believe its a bit over my head.
It seems that the fonts in the MonoType apks on the market are digitally signed. I THINK this is what is preventing the use of any old font. I believe the FlipFont app is looking for the digital signature in the font within the APK. If its not there, it does not use the font and reverts to using the default font.
I managed to get around this by opening the MonoType font in FontCreater along with the monoglyceride font. I then copied all of the characters and glyphs from monoglyceride into the MotoType font, replacing characters and glyphs inside of it. I saved the font and renamed it. Went through the apk creation method listed below and it worked.
If you want to try this yourself grab the APK attached to this thread and edit it with Apk Manager 4.8 found here
Steps to preform
Copy apk into place-apk-here-for-modding folder
Run script.bat and choose option 9
replace monoglyceride.ttf with the .ttf font you edited in the the steps above
edit all XML, yml and smali files to include the font name or font.ttf depending on the entry in the original file. Just replace monoglyceride in all files with the name of your font
Edit the last folder name in the smali folder tree from monoglyceride to the name of your font
Replace monoglyceride font with custom font in the font folder and replace the preview image in the drawable folder with one of your own.
Compile apk
Sign apk
Rename apk
install apk on your phone
Other info and things Ill try next
Before going through the time consuming method of editing the .ttf font file listed above I wanted to see what would happen if I left the original font APK alone and just removed the all of the internal naming. This area contains things like the font name, vendor, license agreement, copyright, ect... After I removed those entries in the file, windows still showed it as Digitally Licensed, but the font FAILED when recompiled and installed in Android.
I am going to try moving these entries over to another font and try again. This may not work, because from what I have read about digitally signed font, editing them breaks the signing. There is hope that this is not true based on the fact that I DID edit the font (characters, ect..)and it still worked.
I will try this tomorrow, its 5am here and I need to get to sleep. Glad I have no work tomorrow. :º)
Any font guys out there have any info on this?
Well here you go, here is my first custom FlipFont APK.

Edit:
Recovery won't work you have to copy the package
Download the package and extract the bootanimation from \system\media and copy it to SD card
Open Root Explorer copy bootanimation.zip from SD card and go to \system\media and replace the existing one. Make sure you give proper permission.
thanks dude been looking around for some different boot animations
is there any way to apply these boot animations without some form of recovery? I'm on a rooted 2.3.3 with a locked bootloader.

thanks for the heads up... i really wish the arc had shutdown animations too (or is there?)...
Mine doesnt work even with permissions ---rwxr-x and also doesnt work but flashing zip. Any ideas?
The phone does boot I just got no animation
If I copy the original back it works just fine.

Try with a different Bootanimation. I actually I gave full permission i.e. check on all the permissions
I can confirm this works on a rooted xperia arc bootloader locked.
Thank you shyam

Unfortunately I think you might have to install a different launcher like ADW or Launcher Pro to get this functionality. Doesn't seem to be possible with the stock launcher included in Cog.
You can replace the corresponding apps image with the one you want. I attached the icons for you. These are the steps I use, its pretty easy. Back up the contacts and mms apk before you do anything. They are located in the system/app folder. You will need root explorer or something similar with root access.
1) Maker a copy of the mms and contacts apk and transfer it to your computer
2) Use winzip or 7zip and decompile the app
3) Navigate to to the "res" folder and then to "drawable-hdpi"
4) Copy and paste or drop the new icon and copy over the old one.
5) Exit out of winzip or 7zip and transfer the apk with the new icon back to your phone's system/app folder and copy over the old one.
Let me know if you have any questions.
I stand corrected!
Thanks KayvinM

Guys.....i always tried the boot animation from the UOT kitchen but after flashing the zip file , all the icons , battery mods and everything i customized changes except the boot animation...you must also have faced the same problem
i have a solution to the boot animation to make it work...the steps are
1) download the customised UOT kitchen file (u must select a boot animation while modding the online UOT kitchen)
2) with winrar open the UOT's zip file
3)browse to the system/media of the zip file
4) in the media folder there is a zip file named as sanim.zip, extract the sanim.zip file to your computer and rename it as bootanimation.zip
5)now paste that bootanimaton.zip file on your sd card, and using root explorer(the system sholud be mounted as r/w)...browse to the system/media folder and paste that bootanimation.zip file...it will ask to replace then press yes replace it....
6)now long press on the zip file you paste and change the permissions to

maybe you use an unsuitable setting somewhere

Those having a device or using an Android 4.1 AOSP ROM such as CM10 or AOKP (or similar) on their Android device can try the new clock app out. There are two methods, one that requires you to have root access and one that involves using ClockworkMod recovery (or TWRP) to install the app.
Download the clock file (DeskClock.apk) using the link below. Then, copy the file to the /system/app folder on your device using a root explorer like ES File Explorer or similar. Then, set the permissions of the DeskClock.apk file to RW- R– R–. However, before you copy over the APK, make sure to rename the original DeskClockGoogle.apk file (and also DeskClockGoogle.odex if the file is present) to something else to back it up, which you can then restore if needed by simply deleting the new file and renaming the old one again. Reboot your device to be able to use the new clock.
http://www.mediafire.com/?zd0prgm172hi1h4
Method II: Using ClockworkMod recovery
Download the CWM flashable zip file from the link given below. Then put it on your device, reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, and install the zip file. Reboot the phone after that, after which you can use the new clock app. Before you flash the new clock, it is recommended that you back up just the original clock (DeskClockGoogle.apk in /system/app) OR to be on the safer side, perform a full backup of the installed ROM in CWM recovery.
http://d-h.st/2ll
Note: There is a possibility that after using the timer, the clock will force close whenever you try to set an alarm or even otherwise. If that happens, go into Settings » Apps, swipe left to the All tab, click on Clock in the list, then clear its data by pressing the Clear data button. After that you will be able to set alarms in the clock app.
