[Q] changing font - HTC Desire X

hi
when i had "desire c" with arabic rom i change driodkufi-regular.ttf with driodnaskh-regular.ttf and change permision then my arabic font changed but now in desire x , when i do that (driodnaskh-regular.ttf=358kb and droidkufi-regular.ttf=79kb) and restart my phone not any thing changed and when check the /system/fonts i see that droidkufi-regullar.ttf comeback to 79kb again ,
is there any body know how can fix the fonts that after restart phone dont replace that with the orginal font?
thanks

HTC implemented some sort of security to their newer devices where you cannot write to the system as the kernel will reset it.
What you can do is adb push the font in recovery, or make a flashable zip for the font and flash it in recovery.
Basic thing is any change to system, to make it work properly you need to do it at recovery level

thanks for guide
is there any way or references or others that i can make a .zip file to flash font from recovery
thanks again

Here is the stock fonts for my ROM which is a flashable zip.
What you can do is open it with an archiver (I use 7-zip), and replace it with all the fonts from your current ROM and name it as stock fonts (you need this if something goes wrong as not all fonts may work for your device).
Then make another one and put in all the fonts that you want to change and name it as modded fonts zip.
So flash the modded fonts zip and see how it goes.
If some fonts make your device stuck, reflash back your stock fonts zip.

Use Aroma File Manager from recovery to do the same copying you do when the phone is on. You have he link in DesX Index.

I found a way to defeat the write protection on other HTC devices. It might work on this one device too, if somebody wants to help, send me a pm.

hello babakhad, I have some question..
I see there's so many fonts on the Stock_fonts.zip, so I just have to delete it all and put only one font that i want to use? Only one .ttf file? If I only put one .ttf file, will the font in the lockscreen change too?

Just copy the new fonts to the /system/fonts/ folder and replace the old.
If your talking about a ROM zip file then just open the zip with 7zip or something like that and drag and drop the new fonts to the above mentioned folder

this drag and open doesnt work , cauz when i install the rom it will stop in google logo , i tried with two different ROM.
thanks
If dragging and dropping doesn't work, what you'll need to do is unpackage each archive folder until it's a regular folder, then try dragging and dropping then repackage them. Make sure that you use the same archive folders so that it'll be readible by android.
*If this doesn't solve the problem, your problem might lie elsewhere. Try a different kernal, a different radio, a different module and keep trying until it loads ok. Good luck
its mean i have to extract each folder ??
thanks.
The uot (onlinekitchen) would be the easiest method. Just go to fonts, select one of the many choices., upload framework file for the rom you're using and flash via cwm. Very simple.

it depends ....u need to have devices rooted. and make sure u make nandroid backup incase if something goes wrong
1.download root explorer from android market and go to system/framework folder and copy blur-res.apk file & paste on computer to any folder
2.dont extract blur-res & rarz icons, just open both files in winrar/zip & keep both windows open side by side
3.now in open window of blur-res.apk go to res\drawable-hdpi and keep it open
4.from open window of rarz icons just select from ic_launcher_accounts.png to ic_widget_wifi.png and pull those selected files to open window of blur-res.apk res\drawable-hdpi and replace them.
5.now u have to push modified blur-res.apk through adb back to system/framework. nd voila enjoy ur new icons ;D

Changing Icons in the Appdrawer
i have not tested this way. be sure what u do and allways make a backup of ur system !
The icons themselves are stored inside the individual apk files. You need to open each one, swap out the icon and reassemble it. It's not nearly as hard as it sounds.
1. Tools you need
7zip Download the appropriate version for your PC.
The original copy of the Fresh ROM you used to flash your phone.
The icons you want to change.
2. Create a working folder on your PC.
3. Using 7zip, open the Fresh ROM zip file. Navigate to the system/app folder inside the ROM. Highlight ALL the .apk files, and drag them into your working folder. Close the Fresh ROM zip file.
4. Decide on which icon you want to change first. I'll use the Browser as an example.
5. Use 7zip to open the Browser.apk you pulled out of the Fresh ROM. Once open, look for the res/drawable folder inside the apk.
6. Inside that folder, look for an .png file named ic_launcher_browser.png . That's the icon that the app uses.
7. Have your new icon ready. It should be 48x48 and a .png file. Make sure it's named ic_launcher_browser.png .
8. Drag the NEW icon into the open 7zip window that's showing the res/drawable folder. Choose yes if it asks you about overwriting the original file.
9. Close 7zip.
The Browser app has now been changed and will show your new icon in the drawer, and on the homescreen if you paste a shortcut. Do the same for each of the apps you want to change the icon of. The icon will always be in /res/drawable, and be named ic_launcher_ **app name**.png
Once you have changed all the icons, you'll have a set of apk files with your new icons. You can push these to the phone one by one from the terminal, or you can create your own update.zip
To push them to the phone (once again Browser.apk will be our example)
1. In your Android SDK/tools folder, make a new folder called icons.
2. Copy the Browser.apk file to the folder you just created.
3. Open the windows command prompt, and navigate to the Android SDK/tools folder. NOT the new folder you just made.
4. Enter the following commands one line at a time:
Code:
adb remount
adb push \icons\Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
5. Do the same for each of the apk files you edited, changing the name Browser.apk to the name of the file you're pushing to the phone.
6. Reboot the phone.
7. done - have fun
hope this helps u

Running MIUI 2.3.9. Replaced bootanimation.zip in system/media and data/local but still shows my old animation. Anyone know of another place MIUI might hide the bootanimation.zip? Tried leaving permissions alone and changing them to match my old animation. Nothing works, just keeps showing old animation. Any help would be appreciated, really want to try this out. Thanks

[Q] How to change Lock Screen Icons style/look?

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!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
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

Z2 575 systemUI required

So as the title says, I need the Z2 575 original stock systemui preferably in a flashable zip format
The reason is I recently flashed the Xperia X lockscreen and I want to revert back ( yes I have taken the backup but it's less hassle if someone provides me the systemui.
Thanks
Exactly same issue.
I flashed the whole zip prepared through prf though.
Hi Here you are..
Not a flashable but just copy the apk file.
Hope this will help you.

Is there any permissions ?
EDIT : I copied it and changed the permission rwrr but systemUI has stopped.
Any ideas ?
I just copied the file sysmteui.apk only and I don't know where to copy the other folder.
You can just copy it and overwrite the system so that permission remains r-w-r-r.
or manually check it and make r-w-r-r.
