Hey guys.
So, I installed a Jelly Bean font (Roboto Light). It worked at half, as half of the system still uses the Sony font... For example: Tapatalk titles, Settings app, and some other apps... So, anything we can do to change this?
How did you install it?

I found it somewhere here in XDA. i can reupload it for you if you want to.
Was more thinking about if you were using an app to install it or manually changing system/fonts/. If you were doing it manually be sure you replaced all necessary fonts.

I have seen a few Glaciers font's changed using Font Changer from the Market. I downloaded the app and can't figure out where you get the fonts from. The app tells you how to set a font but doesn't say anything about where you get them from. Anyone know?
Are there any fonts anyone recommends? How about posting some screenies showing off your setup.

whether it also can be used in wave or bada os ?
To use font changer you sill need to download the fonts you want and copy them into sdcard/.fontchanger via root explorer. Once you copy the fonts into the .fontchanger folder, you go back to the font changer app, open it and you will see the fonts.
Just click on each and reboot when finish installing all of then.
You can download fonts from here

i use the same thing it's pretty good and simple to use and has a good amount of interesting fonts.
Which font is that your using?
Rooted/OC'd/faux 1.1.4
That looks like sony sketch. Same font I use. I think is the best font.
I like sony sketch but i thought it was too small im using zekton which is pretty much the same thing but slightly bigger
Yep! Using sonysketch
Rooted/OC'd/faux 1.1.7
I noticed that in the app description for custom font changer it says that you must be s-unlocked and have s-off.. Does that mean you must have radio s-off via gfree method and it won't work if you rooted with root.sh?

I'm not exactly sure..cause i have the right bootloader to be radio s-off but my phone isnt sim unlocked even tho i told it to do it...it was acting weird so i dont think mine fully worked, so i dont know exactly sorry

You have to be S=OFF but don't have to do it with gfree. I have S=OFF using the Visionary method and font changer works just fine.

... or go here for a nice & huge collection of flashable fonts (take care, the first pages of fonts are only flashable using AmonRa, to find CWM recovery flashable ones you'll have to click some links).
My personal favourite (for use with our phone, where aliasing is sometimes a little problem due to the low color depth) is Ubuntu 10.10

Hi every1.
Can anyone mod default Xperia lockscreen?
Xperia's that get ICS got their lockscreen changed.
There is Unlock on the left and Camera on the right slider.
I found that very usefull.
I can't found any app in /system/app that is lockscreen, so I think that it's part of Home.apk
Help please.

i thing you can found it in framework-res.apk
I have tried to modify it, but couldn't find correct files for the lockscreen. Looked through SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk and some other files.
My idea was to check the .jar files in /system/framework, but since ICS is around the corner, I better wait for the update.

I have ICS firmwares myself also, but I am too busy to deal with it.
Also, ICS is around the corner, just wait for the update.
If you can't wait, search from Market for other lockscreen apps, like GoLocker, Widgetlocker and some others.
Had them, but they got on my nerves.
Oh well, gonna stick to default until ICS gets released and ported (prerooted and etc...)

Ok, I found out that the lockscreen is part of framework-res.apk
Now I just need to realize what to change inside it. Havin some clues, but can't test it cuz I don't know how to compile it after decompileing.
Typed via Xperia Active + XDA app
While trying to replace my stock lock screen with a custom one.
I deleted the UxpNxtLockScreen.apk file placed in the /system/app folder.
This should make my lock screen go away. But instead what happened is that now there is a new lock screen (see the attachment) instead of that.
Im confused as to how this is happening.
Anyone who has also experienced this?

you removed sonys lockscreen and allowed stock ics lockscreen to show
Does it also mean that if I delete home.apk, I'll get the default ICS launcher?

I doubt it
but if you try make a nandroid backup first (and back hope.apk incase you can still use device)
I doubt if there is a way to take Nandroid backups on Sola.
So wont touch the home.apk
Thank you for answering my questions.

Sorry for the noob question. This morning, I tried to fool around with system/app/systemui.apk using ninjamorph, but I kept messing stuff up and having to restore from my TWRP backup. Any ideas?
change the drawables in the systemui.apk i do it outside with 7zip...im no themer by any means but ive fooled around with a few things
Thanks for the advice. It led me to search for more info on 7zip and I found this post:

As for editing xml values you can simply copy the xml file out and edit it using your favourite editor and then copy them back in.
Hope I was able to help some OS X users.
/edit By the way, this method (WinRar or muCommander) also works for editing update.zip. This means you can customise the rom (add/remove system apks, change the boot animation etc) before you flash it.
The one thing I'm having trouble with is the green bars on the bottom of the notification toggles. I can't find where they're at.

In a root file explorer (I use esfile) move the systemui.apk to system>app ... It will ask you to replace the existing file ..chose yes. Then reboot. (It will start force closing ...don't panic...work through the warnings and reboot).
