Thanks for this, I think it says somewhere but I got stuck not being able to find the (hidden) .fontchanger directory on my SD Card. In case that helps anyone who is stuck. I used Terminal on Mac. ls -a to see the directory then drag the fonts into the terminal window when you do your cp

Also, somewhere I read to use the .fontchanger/backup directory but afaict, this isn't necessary. Thanks again, love having Roboto!
[HTC EVO 3D] goister:
Hi,

These fonts look great! However, I'm having trouble viewing Chinese characters with them. They all appear as blank spaces, not even boxes or weird characters. I'd assume other languages would face the same problem as well. Any idea why this is the case?

That's probably a question for Google. I believe these are just ripped files.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
So on my phone, I have a sim card pin setup when you turn it on. After you incorrectly enter the pin number 3 times, it locks you out until you call your service provider. So I called my service provider, who gave me a PUC (pin unlock code) code and told me that there should be an option that says enter your puc or something like that. But there wasn't, so the assistant asked me to enter it in the emergency dialer. When I hit dial after entering the PUC, it said that it was not an emergency dialer. According to the assistant, it should have automatically accepted the code, bringing me to the issue of the unlock menu. On stock, when you enter in *2945#500#, it should automatically accept the code, but on custom roms, it doesnt. I believe the two issues are related, but I would like to confirm this first. And maybe this might be sort of a request to the devs asking if they can include the unlock menu (i have read that it is not implemented as it is useless to most people) since now I have to get a new SIM card (not that it is the devs' fault, but it would be useful for people like me).
[Optimus One, P500, V General] androidmeda:
Or you could borrow a dumbphone and use that to unlock your sim (unless you get to keep your old number if you get a new one).

I have yet to experience needing a PUC on my sim on this phone on this ROM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
just tried that but it didnt work. probably because my sim card has been locked permanently
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
if a simcard is locked, than its locked and can only be unlocked by a PUK code.

You can order a new SIM card from network provider, its possile i know if the PUK is locked too because of to many failed trys.

even if i break the code to use the SIM card again, you cant make calls nor use

the contacts on the SIM - the network provider is checking the SIM status and

locks it again.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
thanks for the reply.

but does the PUK code have anything to do with the unlock menu or those hidden codes in general? i know that on stock froyo, some codes are accepted automatically in the regular dialer. on custom roms, these codes are not accepted in the regular dialer at all. the emergency dialer did not accept the PUK code just like how the regular dialer did not accept the other codes (such as *2945#500#) and i was told that it was supposed to accept the code.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] andy572:
sorry, i never used hidden menus and dont know if its implemented in android source

or its a extra feature by manufacturers like LG, HTC,Samsung etc.

As i know the PUK is only for unlock the SIM when the chip is locked and can only be entered on a lockscreen keypad.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
finally solved the puk issue. on my phone it did not ask for me to input the puk code. then i inserted my sim card in my dad's phone (same phone except running on stock froyo). now it asked me for a puk code. if only custom roms had this functionality of accepting these codes...:p
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Here are the methods I have tried to interop unlock the phone

Engineering mode registry editor

It looks like Dell/Microsoft (I think Microsoft made the utility) never finished the EM:Registy_Write: command

HTC registry editor

Interop Unlock xaps

Deploy XAP with ../../../Windows/Interop.provxl

Group policy blocks the access of \windows folder for anything other than reading

Use Microsoft.VisualStudio.DeviceConnectivity.Interop on a desktop

Not implimented

Send file: access denied and looks like it a user elevation issue. IE needs a non-guest/aka admin account

Microsoft.VisualStudio.DeviceConnectivity.Interop.ConManServerClass.RegistryQueryValue(int, string, string, out uint, Microsoft.VisualStudio.DeviceConnectivity.Interop.ConManServer, ref uint) couldnt figure out how it wants that formatted...

Same for this: Microsoft.VisualStudio.DeviceConnectivity.Interop.ConManServerClass.RegistrySetValue(int, string, string, uint, ref byte, uint)

Use Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity on a desktop

Not implimented

Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity.RemoteIsolatedStorageFile.ReceiveFile(string, string, [bool]) access denied and looks like it a user elevation issue. IE needs a non-guest/aka admin account

Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity.RemoteIsolatedStorageFile.SendFile(string, string, [bool]) access denied and looks like it a user elevation issue. IE needs a non-guest/aka admin account

Add xaps without interop using reflection (still blocked/not working)

Create own update package (can't bypass pks/certificates)

I am probably missing a few. Please help me compile a list of things that did not work.

Do you think this can be of any help?

http://dennisdel.com/blog/dell-venu...-native-layer---intro-registry-and-work-modes

it explains how to use the SET registry parameters that you mentioned you did not know how to format. I am interested in helping you, let me know how.
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Well if I could do that method we wouldn't need to interop unlock the device as it would already be interop unlocked.
[Venue Pro General] M3r71n0:
Add not working

replace files in other applications with applications that do not require interoperability
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
What do you mean? Of course an application that does not require interop will not work...that is the whole point of this.
[Venue Pro General] M3r71n0:
I tried to replace a file of an application pre-installed (Connection settings), using a homebrew application (no interop). And the files it installs, but does not overwrite the existing one.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:

Just curious since I know nothing about this stuff.

Sent from my DINC2HD
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loki154:
ICS is supoose to be a stock android experience. Google has said that ICS is to end fragmentation across the various handsets. Differing UI such as touchwiz, blur and Sense do nothing but slow down updates to people's phones. I'd be shocked if Google allows its partners to slap a new UI on top of ICS.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] RegnierD:
FWIW, I successfully installed the two VZW apks over mine (I'm on CM7 #105) and have rebooted since. Everything seems to be working fine for me still. My phone network still recognizes my location just fine.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
Nexus phones are designed to run stock Android, but I've read nothing specific about ICS itself being mandated to be stock and only stock. The only specifics Google has offered as to the fragmentation issue is an agreement with manufacturers/carriers to support new devices with updates for the first 18 months which, honestly, doesn't accomplish all that much. Given Android's update history, that'll generally only guarantee one OS version upgrade, two at the most if the phone is released at the right time to span two OS releases.

As for disallowing custom UI's, again, I've read nothing suggesting Google plans to restrict this. As it's one of the primary ways each manufacturer differentiates their product, I'd be shocked if Google can, or has any interest in, doing anything about it beside the aforementioned pledge of 18 months of support.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
No...you could not. Reverse engineering wouldnt apply to SDK...because its only a system dump.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
It'd probably be possible building vanilla ICS using the OMGB device tree. Kernel would need some serious initramfs changes I do believe to get it booting.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
How come when I try to install the apps from the "Incredible-2-4.0.1-port / system / app" it just doesn't do anything? On other roms you could just go in and it would at least offer to you if you wanted to install, like a normal .apk but these just don't do anything.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Framework.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
Google, why u DRM'd apps?!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] times_infinity:
it's totally not that. because the source for their apps are readily available. he means that some of the apps inorder to work require the ICD framework. which gingerbread doesnt have.

Framework dependancy != DRM. its like trying to get Rosie to run on AOSP. never gonna happen because Rosie depends on the Sense framework.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Someone who understands me :-)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
What's the point of making the framework dependency? Why not just make it backwards compatible? iPhone apps work from from iOS version to version, same with desktop operating systems.

Just seems silly that we have to hack our way through the code to get applications running on older devices.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] franklin270h:
Because in the case of Google apps, you've got scrolling Widgets and such that were present in honeycomb. If you didn't have that, you wouldn't need the framework. For the most part, android apps are forward compatible. Just not in this case.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Yeah, I was just asking cuz it seemed like a good idea in my head lol. I know

NOTHING

about developing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loki154:
Google is restricting custom UI's by completely redoing Android. If ICS is supposed to be friendly for tablet and phone, then why would they make it easy for companies to throw a custom skin on top that could break something from the "experience" they were calling for last night?

If Honeycomb is any indication of how hard it is to theme the new OS, I don't believe we'll see too many custom skins.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
I wish it were that easy.

Do you have a zest for learning? It really is quite fun if you have time. I worked on Java and C back in college (Computer Science Major) and I loved it - but with my crazy work schedule there is no way I can contribute fully.

Maybe if this economy gets better soon I can get back into some development work. Im a perfectionist with a bit of OCD.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I'd love to learn, but I don't have a computer right now. Mine got fried. Although I'd love to start making ROMs and share with people.

Sent from my DINC2HD
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cvo515:
Sounds like a perfect recipe for an awesome rom! Come on economy!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] franklin270h:
While I would love to believe that the reason custom skins don't exist on honeycomb because Google is restricting them, I really think it is because they haven't had the time to do so..and ics was coming so honeycomb support itself kinda slowed ( not that honeycomb owners are complaining, they will get ics :) ).

Now, on the other hand, ics offers a lot of the things inherent in other manufacturers uis and such, like scrolling widgets, so HTC and others (if they do it right) won't have to piggyback as much in order to customize things. And likely, that could mean a minimization of proprietary framework as it just isn't as necessary. And a big speed boost. But I think the manufacturers will still proprietize things even if for no good reason. Like Samsung when they were using reiserfs (even tho it is laggy as sh*t) and proprietary formats for things like boot animations.

I wanna say in the fragmentation agreement that Google did offer quicker access to code and such if they did stick to more of a Google approved experience. But what a Google certified device constitutes, I have no idea.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Hahaha...it isnt going anywhere fast (the economy)...and especially since I work in broadcasting and work with digital platforms? Yea - im lucky if I have 30 minutes a day to devote to XDA.

When I first got my Inc1 I dev'd a few ROMS for personal use - Nothing too flashy because I was shooting for working ROMs instead of 'works in progress' - not to say we dont have an awesome community but I needed everything to work at all times.

However, its nice to see a possible WIP for ICS - should be great!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
I just watched the entire presentation, and no one from Google ever mentioned anything even remotely close to restricting custom UI's. And the revisions they've made to the UI themselves don't inherently restrict manufacturers from doing more still.

I'm just saying, they've never said anything about restricting manufacturer customizations, and their response to fragmentation never mentions manufacturer customizations. Their new UI might make manufacturer UI's *less* necessary, but I think it's incorrect to say that Google is prohibiting them. I would almost guarantee custom UI's will persist... maybe not as drastic as they are now, but they'll still be there.

As for why nothing much has been done with Honeycomb, as was mentioned, Honeycomb was a bit of a red headed step child right from the start, it was well known that 4.0 would merge the code bases, and the UI was good enough and devices were so few and far between that manufacturers probably didn't feel the need to fiddle much with it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Couldnt have said it any better. Spot on. I actually think this is a step in the right direction for Android in general.

We really took this poor thread off topic. Doh!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
I personally am looking more forward to the AOSP than Sense's copy. Sense seemed to have gone full-retard with the 3.0/3.5 versions, that I have little hope for Sense ICS variant. HTC code reader, HTC books, HTC store, HTC _____, etc. And I thought the Gingerbread VZW default stock rom was annoying with the VZW bloatware, seems that now HTC is the one doing the bloating.

You are making slot of head way. I just hope it doesn't hit the point like when we were trying to port honeycomb to the x10. We could only get so far but we were working with a completely locked bootloader and no kernel sources.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I don't think we'll see a daily driver until they release the source code. Once that happens, we should see CM9 nightlies. Until then we may get a buggy build to at least test out.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] franklin270h:
While i am hopeful, I think it'll be at least first of year before we honestly see anything on other phones. Itll take a month or three after the source drops.

I'm honestly considering getting a galaxy nexus anyway though. It offers so so much that we do with custom roms already.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JAS_21:
I've always wanted a Nexus, but been limited by Verizon contracts. Now we'll have one, and I renewed again to get this phone. So it's full retail or add a line and raise my bill. I don't know if I want it that bad. We'll see...
