Hello, I just rooted my phone and I have CyanogenMod ROM on it and Apex Launcher right now. I want to change some things on my lockscreen but I don't know how to do that.
Here is my look screen right now: http://i.imgur.com/5CrbU.png
I want to take away the LV TELE 2| Tele2 thing on the bottom and then change the clock and date text, because it looks ugly in my opinion. Is there a way I could change that?
And also the circle above the Tele 2 text, can I change that? If so, how?
And also when i type an SMS, it vibrates when I type one letter, how can I remove that? I have tried to untick vibrate in settings but it doesnt work :S
Thanks in advance!

You wont get anybody helping you unless you post your topics in correct sections.
This is a development area, not n00b help desk.
[edit: topic moved now]
Yeah, this is really the wrong section.
Read the rules again and everything's fine.
So, for deleting carrier name, just google, there's a tutorial.
Is changing the font enough?
Then just replace the fonts at /system/fonts. (You can find the correct one by the name.)
And the circle. Decompile your framework-res.apk and look for the graphics at the hdpi folder.
If you don't know, how to do this, google. It's easy, if you know how to do.

That's the only thing I found on Google, but that's only changing the carrier name.
Where can I download fonts?
I can't find the folder /system on my sdcard.
What should I google about the circle? Like "How to delete circle on apex launcher lockscreen"?

If this apps works for you, you can use it to set the carrier name to ' '?
You can find some nice fonts here. http://www.dafont.com, http://www.1001freefonts.com/
Or if you want to use fonts, which are already on your computer, they're located at: C:\Windows\Fonts
So, to change them.
The folder /system isn't on you sd. It's on your phone.
You can view this folder, if you download any root explorer app from the market.
Then you can find the /fonts folder and replace some fonts.
For example there's the font 'DroidSans.ttf', rename the font to 'DroidSans.bak' and then copy some downloaded font into this folder. Then change the name from (for example) Arial.ttf to DroidSans.ttf.
Reboot your device, and it's ready.
There's a app, which is easier, but with this method, you know, what you're doing, and you learn something.
But, just in case, the name of the app is 'Font Changer', you can find it in the Play Store.
The circle on the lockscreen..
To change it, you have to copy you framework-res.apk, which is located at /system/framework to your sd and then to your computer. (Or you upload it to dropbox or someting else, just bring it to your computer. xD)
Then rename it to 'framework-res.zip', after this you can open it by winrar or 7zip.
Go to the hdpi folder in res and search the image of the circle.
Then delete it, and put your own image (it should have the same dimensions) into the archive. But important! Don't select 'normal compression' or anything else, just 'save'!
If you have this done, change the file extension again to '.apk' and put it to your sd.
Then, copy it with any file manager, and paste it into /system/framework.
This can brick you device, so create a cwm backup before!
It worked succesfully for me with 'ES File Manager/Explorer', but only with the method, where the dialog 'Replace?' appears. So don't first delete the framework-res.apk
Okay, and for vibration.
Go to settings, keyboard, keyboard settings, and uncheck vibration. That's it.
Now my hands hurt.^^

I have no clue what font I should use but I'll see which one I will download because there are so many
I don't think I will change the circle on the lockscreen because It seemed hard and I'm to "noob" to do that and I don't wanna brick it. But I'll save that information If I wanna do it later.
If I go to settings, I can't see anything saying keyboard or keyboard settings.( But It doesn't vibrate anymore when I write messages on facebook) kinda weird :S
Got 3 other questions xD maybe off-topic but hope you can answer them
1. I recently rooted my phone and put on CyanogenMod 9 and now I have Apex Launcher Pro on it. But I can't find my contacts or where I add contacts so I can save my friends phone number. Do I have to download an app for this?
2. When I'm on my lockscreen and wanna unlock it, I drag it and it unlocks. But It vibrates when I drag it, is there a way to delete this vibrating?
3. I've used Swiftkey 3 keyboard but I don't like it so I want a new one. I loved the keyboard I had before I rooted on ICS verision 4.0.3. Is there a way to get that keyboard now in root? If not, do you have suggestions for me which keyboard I should download? I don't want one that they correct the words I write, only a simpel and easy keyboard.
Thanks in advance!

Try Ubuntu font, google for it.
No? Or 'input settings'?
There's no contacts app? Maybe it's just hidden in apex launcher. Go to apex settings, drawer settings. And check the hidden apps. Or look in the apps section in the normal settings, if contacts/people app exist?
Hmm, in miui, there's an option for the vibrating. But as far as I know, in cm not. But you can google for it, maybe there's a mod or control panel, which includes this.
Yes, I hate auto correction too. It's very bad if you write in different languages..
In the settings of swiftkey, you should be able to disable the auto correction. You can access the settings directly via the keyboard. There's a key for this.
But I prefer the stock ics keyboard. (Play store: ics keyboard) It's very simple and you can disable auto correction and vibration too.
I hope, I helped.

For renaming, you don't have to open the file.
Just press long at the file, and there should be a popup, with options like 'rename', 'copy', 'cut', 'open', 'properties' etc.
If there's no option to rename it, use another file manager, like 'es file manager' or 'root explorer'.

Of course, mate.
If you're using es, go to settings, scroll down and enable 'root-explorer' and 'mount file system'.
Then there should be a popup of superuser, just accept it.
After replacing the fonts, remember to set the correct permissions, too.

Worked I think, did everything you wrote before in this thread. But the font didn't change on the lockscreen. Is there another file I should rename or change too in order for it to change font on the clock on the lockscreen?
Ooo alena gilbert...lol
Ok you can edit framework-res.apk for that... and for font in lockscreen i think change font with something like clock in name with one of your choice.. dont remember exact name....

DroidSans.ttf was just an example.
So, I'm not sure, but try Clockopia.ttf.
But a while ago, I used a cm-build, where the lockscreen font was named something like. 'androidclock.ttf'
So just look, maybe you can guess it via the name, which font it is. If not, you can copy them to your pc and click on it, then windows let you view the font. Then you just have to look for these special numbers of the lockscreen clock. And the last way is to use font changer.

appreciate it. will give it a shot. hopefully it works for non-root.
What if you want to use a font that flipfonts hasn't offered?
EDIT: NM got it, an app for Root users called Type Fresh can backup/ restore system fonts, and can install new fonts with proper permissions. Any TTF font file works, but picking ones that are designed for on screen viewing is best.

I tried it as well and also had no success. Font would not apply.
At least you Vibrant users got some "starter fonts" out of the box.
Captivates don't come with any besides the default.
I highly recommend the Helvetica Neue from the Market, btw, especially if you were fond of the Zune interface.

The app works by replacing the default fonts, if the phone is already using a flipfont font then it wont work

Just tried it. Did not work. Not sure if I did anything wrong, but I followed directions properly. Phone would not boot past initial Samsung Vibrant screen. Luckily I was able to ADB the .backup out and replace the original.
I just recently put this in the sticky in the general section. I listed the directory where to put the font, reboot, go to the settings and select the font, phone should reboot with the new font added.
I would LOVE IF you could test the directory for me. I bought helvatica through the system, do I think it's correct.

You need to adjust the permissions of the renamed font files to match the stock fonts or else you'll boot loop

Ok...I followed the directions and did as they said. So, how does one go about doing this?
I use Root Explorer, as its one of the easiest ways to move system files around your phone.
To save you time looking in /system/fonts the permissions are:
User: Read-Yes, Write-Yes, Execute-No
Group: Read-Yes, Write-Yes, Execute-Yes
Others: Read-Yes, Write-No, Execute-Yes
Using Root explorer, you can navigate to your renamed DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf files, long press on them and select "permissions", then make sure the permissions match the stock font's listed above.
I cant express how effective the Type Fresh App was in doing this for me, and saves me a whole ton of hassle renaming everything. Plus its free.

International Fonts
For more fonts and also international fonts, I did a tutorial on a Moto Droid couple months back, it should be exactly the same for "ROOTED" Samsung Vibrant:
http://nexusonehacks.net/android-hacks/droid-hack-how-to-install-thai-font-on-droid/
What I would like to know is how to write the AKP for flipfonts.
I wanted to pull one of the APKs from the Apps directory, but it seems to to work. I also tried making a backup of the APK with titanium backup, but the zip is empty. It seems the files are protected in some way.
I just wanted to take a look at the structure of the apk so I can use it as a template to create custom font APKs to side load.
If anyone can manage to make a backup of one of the flipfont APKs please explain how you did so.
I installed thai fonts by update.zip no root required.
Hi everyone,
can anybody tell me how I can change the font of the stock SE lockscreen? I don't want to use an app for this (lockbot, etc). Just want to change the font or the images the clock uses. Help me please!
G.
The font is in the framework-res in the assets folder.
And how can I edit that? It is in the framework, extract is ok, but how can create an .apk after change font? Thanks for help anyway.

By pulling the contents, modding, then pushing them back. Read the theme reference thread for tips.
Great! Thanks again!!!
And if i'm ready (change font, rename as an apk), should I paste over the original apk by RE for example? Is that all?

No need to be renaming anything. Just open the apk as you would any other zip and pull the files, after modding them just drag and drop them back into the framework.apk. Some say you can use RootExplorer to overwrite the original but I've done it twice in the past and both times the phone stuck at boot, so recommend using adb to push back to the phone and install.
That's why I asked, cuz last two times the same happened to me, device frozen in boot. May I use QtADB? It looks working easier for me.

You can use whatever, so long as you can push and install files, like MrRusch's Mod Tool

qtADB should be ADB with a GUI, an user friendly version of it. Thanks.

Hey!
I'm currently making my own icons for apps in MIUI, but I also want to restyle apps downloaded in the market..
Since you have to rename the icons to the name of the files, like:
com.android.email.png and
com.facebook.katana.png
I also need to find the names of the apps I downloaded, so I can make custom icons for them, but I don't know where to find the names.
Does anyone know how I can find them so I can make custom icons for them?
Thanks in advance!
solution
Ok.. I have found the solution, but I still have a question!
Solution:
You first need to search for the app you want to make an icon for:
For example:
I want to make a custom icon for WhatsApp..
I go to the android market (on the internet) and search for the app..
Click on the app.
You now get to this page:
market.android.com/details?id=com.whatsapp&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS53aGF0c2FwcCJd
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You only need to copy whats between the = and the &
in this case: it's com.whatsapp
So in the icons folder, you need to make
com.whatsapp.png
that will be your custom whatsapp icon.
----
Now still I have a question!
I also want to make custom icons for apps, which I didn't download in the market. (AltDrawer for instance). But I don't know where to find the name of that app to make a custom icon for it.. Does anyone know the answer?
Using a root browser, go to data/system/customized_icons_1
Copy that folder to your SD card if you want. All of the unthemed icons are listed in that folder with the proper name. Sometimes the name you get from the Market isn't the process that shows up on your homescreen, so using that method is much easier and gives you the exact name for everything that isn't in your theme.
Pretty neat, huh?

That did work out really well! Thanks very much!
thanks for this!
Well this is really weird... I tried everything. I have downloaded a really nice icon-set that I use (Signa) and couldn't manage to add 2 icons...
I went to data/system//customized_icons_1/ and checked the name of the .png files for the apps. After that I have renamed the .png files to those names. Still nothing...
Device: HTC Desire
ROM: MIUI XJ 2.3.30
Attached are the files and the link are:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5SZWxtdGVjaC5SZW1vdGUiXQ..
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=JakedUp.AppDrawer&feature=search_result
As a workaround I have replaced those icons from data/system//customized_icons_1/ with the ones I have attached and it works but it changes back after a reboot... I'd like to make this permanent by adding it to the icon the .mtz file.
Thanks in advance

Using a root browser, go to data/system/customized_icons_1
Copy that folder to your SD card if you want. All of the unthemed icons are listed in that folder with the proper name. Sometimes the name you get from the Market isn't the process that shows up on your homescreen, so using that method is much easier and gives you the exact name for everything that isn't in your theme.

Good luck
thank 4 share every body!:good:
I'm sure this has been discussed, but I cannot seem to find the thread...
My phone is rooted...I'm copying fonts into the system/font folder, but the new fonts are not showing up in the list. I am checking the folder to Mount R/W, so it lets me copy them.
Also, is ther a way for me to get Go Launcher to default to the system font? Anytime I change the system font, I also have to change it in Go Launcher for everything to match.
use app like font changer, font installer, it should works.

Just install rom toolbox. Simple and easy to use. Do all the font they provide choose and install then restart phone. Done

First of all sorry for my english
Now question: How can I change my LockScreen Icons from stock to look like this one?
(I really was looking for some kind of info in and out the forum but didn't find anything)
Thank you anyway
I think you want to change which icons are used? Don't worry, I had the same problem finding the location too.
Go to:
Settings, Security and Lock Screen, Lock Screen Options, Shortcuts.
How this helps!

you would have to change the icon in apk itself unless someone creates a mod which allows changing them.
res/drawable-xhdpi

1. Pull the apk from your phone to PC (Use root explorer or something similar) - ex. SecPhone.apk for changing Phone icon
2. add ".zip" to its name at the end.
3. Open with winzip
4. find and replace the old icon with new one
Which apk is the lockscreen apk?
You need to pull the SystemUI.apk from \System\APP folder in your ROM or flashable rom file
then open the .APK with Winzip
goto res/drawable-xhdpi folder and edit the Icons as wanted,
Delete the SystemUI.zip from the flashable ROM
Click add ZIP and re add the new SystemUI.zip to the flashable package
Go into CWM and Flash
New try
