Dear XDA,
I've been lurking the forum for a solution to installing custom fonts on Westcrip's Resurrection Remix 3.1.2 ROM for Galaxy S2.
On Gingerbread, a single .ttf file overwrite sufficed for a global font change. On ICS, bold and italic .ttf files had to be supplied as well, because ICS is more versatile and can take advantage of different font styles.
Now, I just changed to JB and tried to use my previous-working zip update containing SonySketchEF for ICS, but to no avail. I tried manually changing the font files by following this guide, but my effort was still fruitless. Now I'm starting to suspect that the JB ROM doesn't actually use the /system/fonts files at all, seeing as all the Roboto files have been overwritten and my phone has not updated with the latest fonts..
My question is: Does anyone have a working update.zip for custom fonts? Or perhaps a valid guide on how to do it myself? Googling for "JB custom fonts" only returns threads such as 'herp derp here are the fonts from JB to use on your ICS ROM', which is not what I need.
Thank you.
Regards,
Trafiq

Hey guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy Vibrant from T-Mobile. I was successfully able to root it and able to load the Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager. I'm wondering if there is a possiblilty to load Arabic fonts on this phone with the letters fully connected. I tried looking up a CM rom to load then flashing an Arabic package (as various Android phones from T-Mobile does this), however, there is no CM. So is there a different way, perferably one that allows me to keep my current 2.1 update software?
Hi,
I notice it is possible to change the default fonts file to another one. So I think what about to change a font include Arabic characters? I'm not sure about it , But you can have a try..
i have installed a Font package and now i want to get back on old one. but even after flashing DroidSans (android default font) some of languages doesn't change. i used this Thread but no luck in any.
only English changes. not some languages like Persian(farsi) or arabic.
i'm asking if somebody has Stock or CM fonts update package so that i could flash via CWM.
Thanks
My Problem is that I'm currently making a rom for i9300 (SGS3).
It's based on stock Sammy TouchWiz.
Most methods to Change the wallpaper didn't work.
I searched a half hour but I cannot find anything about that topic.
I already unpacked, rooted and de-odexed the rom with android kitchen.
Now I'm trying to Change the default wallpaper.
Somebody knows how to?

Have you tried tried de-compiling framework-res.apk and then changing the default_wallpaper image to the image you want to use as the default wallpaper then, recompiling framework-res.apk, and replacing the original framework-res.apk with the one you edited?
Shoot - no need to decompile - just drag and drop with 7-zip... it's only a jpg so you won't break anything.. check the /res/drawable-*dpi folder for your device
@alteredlikeness I already Trier this but there is no default wallpaper in the apk.
@shimp208 I'll try this and post my results here.
I am currently working on a rom for the Galaxy Note 2. I ran into a problem and thought that I might find some help here, I have created a themed framework-res.apk however when I combine it into the rom zip file and flash it it does not boot. For it to boot I need to first flash the rom (without the themed framework), boot, then flash the themed framework. The themed framework-res is from a different base of the rom so it might be the cause of this. I can redo the theming on the original framework from the rom but I made a lot of xml changes and would not like to redo those. Is there a way I can combine it into the rom zip file and make it work ?
Thanks
Edit : Managed to solve by moving the xml and png files to the original framework from the rom
I first encountered it in Enigma 6.x. I found that the font size in the launcher(desktop) is smaller than the default one, and it was the reason I flashed another ROM.
Recently, I find than Almost all roms based on 4.1.2 have this issue.
Since the font size is normal in other UI, I consider the reason is within the launcher.apk itself.
The question is: How can I change the font size of the launcher(desktop) to the default one?
I'd appreciate if someone can give me some help with it. Thanks a lot!
I believe you are right, i have experienced it too.
IT IS due to the launcher itself.
i think the roms u tried have ported launcher, from z1/z2 . they are not made for screens for our size, hence this issue.
try changing font size in display back to normal, i know it will not correct the issue, but it helped me somewhat.
hope it works for you too.
or you can simply use stock launcher, from stock jb rom for Xp, either install it normally or replace the other launcher.
