I am running cm7 week 7 and using rom toolbox free. I have been trying to change all system fonts, but when I go into rom toolbox preferences and check all the fonts listed, I get a hang at the m logo screen. I then have to restore my backup to recover. Any idea what I can do to change all fonts? I've got some fonts changed, like web pages, this forum, all apps. Mainly the icon labels are the only ones that wont change.
Bump for any ideas?
When you reboot after changing fonts, do you do it from the Rom Toolbox prompt?
I had issues with this a while ago and found that the best way was to install the font in Rom Toolbox, then select no for reboot, exit out of the app, then reboot.
@caelan t: yes I also learned my lesson with doing that. However that is not the problem. In the settings of rom toolbox for fonts, I check all the fonts in there. When I then go to reboot manually after installing, it just hangs at the m screen and only a battery pull and restore my backup remedies. Its like it only allows for 5 fonts to be changed and the icon fonts aren't one of them. Any ideas?
How long do you give it to reboot?
I have tried a lot of the fonts and never have problems other than not liking almost every font I try.

Sorry I can't help you further. Never takes long to reboot after font change for me.

Im not big on creating new threads but I noticed alot of threads asking about removing bubbles so I created some apks of mymode themes that have the bubbles removed. enjoy
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8756559/mymodes.zip
EDIT: Should mention I am using SlideMeRoot5r1. I haven't tested it on stock or other roms, but it should work.
ok I have included system themes now. just push these to /system/app/"themename".apk
example: go into recovery and in adb do: adb push C:\Android\Hoops.apk /system/app/Hoops.apk

Great stuff! Also works fine on a non-rooted phone. Is there anyway you can put something under the icon text? Those of us with light backgrounds have a tough time reading the text.
Any way you could do this for Nest? I mainly use that theme with different wallpaper. Awesome job btw.

Only issue I came across is that the preview images for these do not load in the mymodes app when you're changing the themes.
Also, randomly it froze up and kept trying to reload the home page but kept freezing and repeating. If this happens, just power down and back on.
It'd be great to see the other themes get this as well
Previews showed for me, I really like these as well.

my phone is not rooted.
I got the issue solved now.
This is just a warning for those with non rooted:
Your phone could freeze up from these modified theme files.
If they do, you will not be able to get past the mytouch slide startup screen.
If you get frozen you will have to do a long battery pull (i let me out for almost 7 hours, i'm sure its shorter, i just did it while i was as work), then boot into recovery mode. This shoot then boot to the red triangle/exclamation. pull battery again (short pull), power phone up to the boot manager and do a fastboot. Hopefully if anyone else goes thru this, it will help them. I wouldnt want to see anyone else freaking out like i was this morning.
Note:Hard reset wont fix this issue
Hi All,
I have (at long last) managed to do a black taskbar, with a coloured battery (With percentage) and coloured icons (V3). The carrier and other text is white.
Respect to Quikt for his modified services.jar & Tina333 for all her theme work!
This theme works on DJSTeve's latest 1.5.0 ROM & Also 1.6.0
NOTE it will take a few minutes to load so it will hang on the boot animation for a few minutes - just be patient!!!
As normal copy the zip file to your SD root. Run Recovery (I use mistadman, because it's brilliant), etc, etc
What's the best app for a screen shot?

Wow.works great for steve's latest 1.5.0. and it looks great.

If anyone is wondering or debating these, they are VERY nice. Lively icons with colors that change depending on status. Very, very nice. And I have tried quite a few theme/task bar mods.
Great job!

I want to try this but it took me awhile to upgrade my US att 1.6 to steve1.5. I am still iffy with the command prompt thing and not sure when to run what.
If I drop this in the root of my SD can I just hold the volumes and power buttons and tell it to install from zip or do I have to do some command line in fastboot first?
If not mistaken I just boot up using volume keys tell it to install pkg from sd card and then clockwork boots and allows me to install zip?
does my phone reset or is everything else retained?
Thanks.
Hey Ody,
If you could drop these changes into a framework for Steve's 1.5.1 so we can have a version for it, I'd really appreciate it!
Steve's changed the animations in 1.5.1, and he's saying that could present a problem with the status bars, themes, etc.
Anyway, I love this bar, and would definitely want to put it on 1.5.1 when I go to it. In fact, I might just wait a little bit to see if you update this before making the jump.
Call me crazy to wait on a whole ROM for a status bar, but I'm a sucker for a black bar, and I think this one's the best.
Thanks!
I installed it over 1.5.1 and everything booted fine. I lost the animations, which I didnt like anyway.

Ahh good call there. I thought that might be what would happen, but I have had these things result in bigger consequences before. Wasn't willing to experiment this time.
Anyway, I just flashed it too with the same result. I didn't hate the animations, but I tend to prefer snappy to flashy when it comes to performance, so I don’t think I will miss them either.
Plus, I have my favorite black bar back!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
If you find you really miss the animations, you can also take the framework from this taskbar, run through the UOT kitchen, changing nothing except for adding which ever animation you want, then cook it up. Just tried it with the flying animation and it worked.
can you do that and post the zip?

uhhhh, dumb face here.
I currently dont have enough posts to post a link to the one I made. But if you want to make you own, its not that hard. Just go into system/framework folder using root explorer, make a copy of the framework-res.apk file, and paste the copy into you sd card. From there transfer the file to your computer. Then go to the UOT kitchen website. Just select theme only, click and keep selecting the "dont include" option until you reach the animation section where you pick the one you want. Fom there you click onto the next page where you will upload your framework to the website, click next and the cooking will begin. After it is done, transfer the zip file created back to you sd card and go into clockwork. First you clear you davlik cache then run the zip, reboot (which will take a little longer than normal) and you will have this theme with the animation of your choosing.
Just applied this on 1.5.1 for the first time, very impressed, thanks

Works like charm on 1.5.1, also remove new animations which i feel annoyed in the new rom

The app is great overall. I have been using it for some time now for fonts, ad blocking, start up apps, etc. I have tried changing some icons, but it's ROM dependant I believe, so it has worked on some, but not others. This is one feature I am not interested in though, so I have only tried it a couple of times. Never had bootloops from it or any other issues that were noticeable.
I have used it before for some tweaks and font changing, in Neutrino and Morrisoft roms, however in CM7.2 RC1 it gives me bootloop when changing fonts.

I've had luck changing icons on Blur based roms but not on CM7 based. It works great overall. Boot animations work no problem on every rom I've tried. Boot logo does not. I got issues with changing the notification bar colors though. It works but it's kinda buggy.

Used to change to Sony Sketch and no problems. I have seen in the past where it helps to select no when ROM Toolbox asks for reboot, exit out of the app, then reboot yourself. This can fix font flashing issues.

It does work on cm7 based roms. Its just that when you are using theme manager to add a theme. It will not change so I suggest u remove theme manager from system/app and reboot then stay with the launcher u like best. And re-do the installation of what u wanted then get out and reboot.

Fonts? Yes. Batt. Icon... sort of. I installed a battery icon via Tom Toolbox but it would come and go at will. Decided to do away with the icon completely when I switched to Nottactrix what with the Team Battery bar installed on the ROM. Hope this helps

I have bought and used the pro extensively.
With blur roms it wont change the battery or signal icon. Voicemail, downloads, debug will change correctly. WiFi is a bit temperamental - usually when connected it shows the changed version, when weak or connecting it shows the original.
With CM ROMS (haven't tested CM9, only CM7) it will change all the icons correctly but you can't change the Theme (T-Mobile Theme manager) or this will overwrite the selected icons.
The best thing you can do is take a nandroid backup first and then change to your hearts content.
Be warned though, don't try to change lots at once otherwise it will crash the framework and then you get bootloops.
Boot animations and fonts work brilliantly.
Hope this helps
I have owned ROM Toolbox Pro for a while now and ever since about 4 weeks ago, when I flashed to EchoeROM from stock NC5, I can't install any fonts with the Font Installer that's part of ROM Toolbox Pro. Whenever I try to it says this: "Unfortunately, ROM Toolbox Pro has stopped."
I get the same issue if I install through the separate Font Installer *Root* app.
Does anybody have any advice or anything that could help me in my situation? I really don't like the stock fonts. And I have contacted JRummy Apps more than once and haven't heard anything back yet.
Below is the info about my phone and ROM.

I had the same exact issue that you're having. Wouldn't work with Echo or Hyperdrive. I don't know if it works with stock. Anyway, I'm using iFont (Donate) now and it works great. I don't know what the differences between the paid and free versions are, but give it shot.

Ok so I tried iFont last night and it changed the font more universally to how I like it but when I changed the fonts some text wouldn't show up. Like, in the notification panel, there was no text for the notification rows. Like, my persistant Tasker notification had the icon but no text anymore.
How did you get it to work for you?

Not a big fan of the themes that LG offers. I was using Substratum + Andromeda on my Galaxy S8 Active and loved it. I'm wondering if Substratum + Andromeda will work on the V40?
It works kind of. I use Swift dark and it themes all the Google apps but not any of LG's system apps. I haven't encountered any bugs or issues so far.

I have an issue with the LG Icons.
I downloaded two Icon packs, changed them for a week, enjoyed it, but decided to change again.
Now regardless of any Icon pack choice, I only get half the Icons to change. Not even if I go back to stock version ... the half that don't convert back are now just an outline of the Icon and I can't find a way to convert them at all.

If I don't figure it out soon, I may factory reset the phone while I'm still exploring it and tweaking it.
