I will be working on getting the fonts into APK files for easy install today. It doesnt look to hard, just a little XML editing and of course font replacement. I prefer this method to the one posted above as it will show you a proper font preview in the menu.

I will post again, when I have it working and upload a few apks.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
do you need fonts? i have a running list of fonts that are looking good on the vibrant. i'm using type fresh to view them. i also noticed that OTF fonts are not working in type fresh. just FYI. let me know if a list would help.

also, so your saying your trying to implement a font changing, including the fonts and previews, in an apk? similar to samsungs native font-changing option? cooooool :D:cool:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Thats exactly what I am trying to do. So far I have got the APK made and installed. It shows up perfectly, with the new thumbnail and font preview.

I am running into a problem though. When I select the new font and restart, the phone gets REALLY SLOW and the new font is not implemented. It just ends up using the default font. I am going to try recompiling it again and see if I missed something in the code.

Please go ahead and upload the fonts you have and I will try using some of those.

When I get this figured out I will post the how-to with step by step instructions.

[EDIT] Ok I have double checked my code and every things looks right to me. I am by no means a coder though and all I really did was replace the font name if all the files where "bauhaus" (name of the font apk Im editing) was originally showing up. As I stated the font shows properly in the preview on the vibrant, although it is a bit bigger then the others showing there. When I restart the phone gets extremely slow and is prone to freezing up for a few seconds. I can only assume that either I am missing something in the XML files or the flipfont .ttf fonts are optimized in some way.

I think I am going to start a new thread on this topic as its slightly different then the original topic and more to do with APK editing/creation.

Anyone want to lend a hand.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Raceves:
Are only certain .ttf fonts working? I wanted to try the Zune font Zegoe, and I followed your steps and after reboot it did not apply the font.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mbalmer:
If you do use a FlipFont, and then try to get TypeFresh to apply fonts, will that cause issues? I was using a FF when I tried to get TypeFresh to utilize some of the fonts I had and it nearly bricked the phone.

I was working with converted OTFs, so I wonder if that did it, too.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] coolairG1:
I use an ap called Font Changer downloaded form Market, the paid version costs $US 1.08. Works pretty well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RALIR:
I tried Type Fresh to install some Indian Fonts (Tamil) on Nexus 7. I tried by backing up current fonts from Nexus 7 and adding the new fonts to the backed-up folder and then tried to restore the font files. When I tried to reboot, Nexus would not reboot. It hung up on the X screen during reboot. Anybody help with this mess I have gotten into. My Nexus is unlocked for use with OTG.

Thank you.

Fixed the problem

Hi Everybody,

Thanks to the WugFresh Root Tool Kit, I am able to get back in business. I had just gotten rooted and unlocked yesterday, but unfortunately I did not think to backup because i was still tooling around. So I still have quite a bit of recovery to do.

By pressing power, vol+ and vol- buttons together, I was able to boot to the Android Recovery step and the Root Tool Kit did the rest.

Thank you all.

Regards

Anyone else have this problem after only 6 days. I will be swapping mine out for a new one today hopefully. Otherwise I love the phone, it is fast and works well.

I wanted to know if there was a way to remove apps such as MobiTv and other apps that came with the phone. Some are really pointless and just take up space. My device isnt rooted.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kizer:
Yep you have to root it first then you can start removing apps.

I rooted mine using the instructions in the Developement area.

Used Root Explorer to creat a folder in your sdcard. Of course any app can do that.

I then used Titanium Backup and made a backup of everything.

Have fun. ;)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rshemeld:
after having root where are them stock apps located.. i cant find them in linda file manager..or the application list?:confused:
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] FlaTLinE-:
Removing apps

Use titanium backup to uninstall the apps you don't want after you back them up.

if you select an app that you don't like in the list it will come up with a host of options, one will say un-install. this should remove it from the device.

and if you backed it up ahead of time, you can usually reinstall without an issue.

just don't remove twlauncher..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] itsLYNDZ:
My phone isnt rooted tho...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] g1ftmfw:
root it!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
your phone is REQUIRED TO BE ROOTED to uninstall stock applications. It is not a choice, you have to do it if you want to remove them. It's a really simple process and takes less than 2 minutes to do. It's really hard to brick your device by rooting, its just too simple.

When you're rooted you can many options to do what you want to do:

- Root Explorer (Paid App)

- ADB (takes a while to setup the environment if you don't have it already set up)

... and the other methods that i didn't list.
[Captivate General] creatrixx:
Does anyone know what the wallpaper resolution is on the Captivate? Whenever I try and make a picture a background, it crops it to certain dimensions (yes, I know that you can expand and shrink it), but the cropped images always look awful. So if I could just feed it the size it already wants, I figure things will be prettier.
[Captivate General] guillolb:
I have no clue, but I compared the orange crop area of the phone with the same image opened in Photoshop in my PC.

That gave me a crop size of about 960x800

I then resized the image and uploaded it to the phone. It looks great!

Here is the image:

The bottom row of 4 Capacitive buttons do not light up as bright as The other galaxy S phones. This is Normal, not sure why (maybe battery life). I went to the AT&T Store today thinking that my LEDs for these buttons were doa, however every model phone they had are the same.

Just letting everyone know.

Maybe there is just a Root Setting to Change the brightness of them, but we will have to see as Development Continues.
[Captivate General] jhego:
I'm fine with the brightness, i'd rather have the timeout fixed. Everyone is having this issue. I also would like to have the option to change lock timeout screen.
[Vibrant Accessories] orateam:
For some unknown reason, phone manufacturers refuse to put lens covers on their camera lens. It's become a standard practice to wipe your screen lens before taking a picture.

Why in the world hasn't anyone come up with a case that does this yet. If so, please point me to it. How hard is that?!

Now that we are getting up to 5mp camera's with good picture results, I think it's time to make a case that has a small plastic cover (like the one's we have with the vibrant for the USB) over the Camera lens.

If anyone knows of a case that does this for any of Sammy's, let me know.

Also, do Sammy 9000 cases or backplates fit the tmobile?
[Vibrant Accessories] androidmonkey:
Yep, its like DUH! The Vibrant is the first phone ive seen with a sliding door for the USB connection, all phones should have that! It makes you think if the people designing the phones even use them. If the camera lens gets scratched, the camera is useless...come on phone manufacturers....
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
uh, are you ****in kidding me dude?

if there was a cover for the lens you'd be wiping the cover to make sure there were no fingerprints on it...
[Vibrant Accessories] androidmonkey:
Dude, better to wipe a cover than leave a lens exposed!
[Vibrant Accessories] orateam:
No I wouldn't. Better to leave a dirty cover that exposes a clean cover lens than to waste time cleaning a lens everytime.
[Vibrant Accessories] gophergun:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the lens recessed? (Not a Vibrant owner yet)
[Vibrant Accessories] spigatelli:
I think he was refering to a sliding door that would cover the lens for protection and you move it when you shoot a pic.

My wife had a Motorola Zine a few years ago that had a sliding camera door. It really was a great idea.
[Vibrant Accessories] Alex530:
Better to wipe a dirty cover everytime then cry about your scratched lens when it happens :)
[Vibrant Accessories] rembonjaski:
The Realook screen protector I ordered from eBay came with mini-protectors for the camera.
[Vibrant Accessories] Pneumatic:
I ordered that same screen protector partially for the camera lens cover.

I have had a scratched lens and it and it rendered the camera virtually useless. I would rather have a cover over it that I had to clean off than to have a scratch that I couldn't remove.

[SIZE=+1]Description[/SIZE]

Due to my own needs and as I have not found anything as simple as this

I have written a very simplified batch processing command.

No version numbering or such thing at the moment.

The application consists of two files:

BatchLaunch.exe

BatchLaunch.bat

The .exe file is the batch processor, the .bat file lists the commands to execute.

At the moment two types of entries in the .bat file are supported:

Direct paths to executables, for the moment only .exe files

wait() command, getting parameter milliseconds to wait, e.g. wait(1500) to wait 1.5 seconds before processing next line

Multiple BatchLaunch apps at the same time are supported by simply renaming

both, .exe and .bat file.

So if you want to use a second set of BatchLaunch you could name it Something.exe and Something.bat.

[SIZE=+1]Using BatchLaunch with HD2/Leo Android[/SIZE]

Can be perfectly used together with yozgatg's Gen.Y DualBOOT to boot HD2 into Android.

For Gen.Y DualBOOT just rename oringinal haret.exe to zharet.exe and

BatchLaunch to haret.exe and haret.bat.

Content of haret.bat is as simple as

\Storage Card\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\zharet.exe

Have fun with this simple but in my opinion brilliant little helper. :D

As more and more guys seem to have problems setup this simple app I have prepared BatchLaunch for both ways, with or without Android folder on storage card.

Extract one these new packages to the root of your Storage Card.

Use BatchLaunch_SD_Root.rar if you do not have an Android-folder.

Use BatchLaunch_SD_Android.rar if you do have an Android-folder.

[SIZE=+1]Testing that BatchLaunch works on your device[/SIZE]

O.K. just to make sure that BatchLaunch is working I have setup

a small testing environment.

Extract the Test.rar to the root of your storage card and start BatchLaunch.exe . The test project is setup to use the "Storage Card" path so it will fail with "Speicherkarte" paths.

BatchLaunch should now start Test.exe which is a simple standard project of M$ Visual Studio.

If this works for you, that proves that BatchLaunch works and you may have a configuration fault if not working with your customizations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] juanzho11:
I think you forgot to mention that you have to edit the .bat file... but so far its working.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Downy:
Great Idea, unfortunately it is not working here on my (german) HD2. I tried several combinations in the .bat file, like "\Storage Card\xxx.exe" and "\Speicherkarte\xxx.exe" but there has never been any reaction when I tried to start your correctly renamed .exe file. As soon as I clicked on the .exe files itself which should be lauched by the .bat files, they started well.

So there might be a problem with your .exe file which doesn't seem to do anything here on my hd2.

If you have some time to check this, I am of course ready to serve you with tests and so on :)

If you need more details, just tell me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
Hi Downy,

I'm from Germany, too. However I am using a non German

ROM as Miri's ROMs are available in Englisch only.

I have the following structure on my SD:

- root of SD card

|- zharet.exe (real, renamed haret.exe)

|- haret.exe (renamed Batchlaunch.exe)

|- haret.bat

haret.bat should look like follows:

\Storage Card\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\zharet.exe

Where "Storage Card" is the name of your SD card exactly like it is shown in

Explorer.exe when you browse to your root folder. So for German ROMs this

is most likey "Speicherkarte".

Does this match your configuration so far ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Downy:
Hello,

yes, matching exactly my current setup. Just instead of "Storage Card" I have currently "Speicherkarte", but I also tried it with "Storage Card" previously.

I also checked that all characters are in lower case but that doesn't seem to be important anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
Just tried it with a German ROM but that works, too.

As you said before it works perfect if you start the .exe by hand.

- Do you use Gen.Y ?

- Did Gen.Y work with the original haret.exe (of course no sound, but just for testing) ?

I could think of Gen.Y calling a fixed path of \Storage Card\haret.exe which of course would not work with a German ROM. I have not tested it but would be an

explanation to me.

In this case you could create a shortcut to your haret.exe on SD in the \Windows\Startup\ folder, I think it's \Windows\Autostart\ in German ROM.

If you want to go back to good old Windows you can just rename the haret.exe to something other by using filemanager in Android.

Then it would even boot faster than using Gen.Y :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
tried using this with Dan's Froyo with Sense build (which puts the files in /Storage Card/Android)...

I changed the haret.bat to reflect the change in directory but it still wont start using Gen.Y (Gen.Y boots successfully if I don't use this)

is the utility only able to detect and use haret.exe and haret.bat in the root of the Storage Card?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
I cannot reproduce ANY problem espacially yours pongster.

If you use Dan's Build which is located in \Storage Card\Android you have two

choices of starting Android using Gen.Y .

Method #1:

Rename "\Storage Card\Android\haret.exe" to "\Storage Card\Android\zharet.exe"

Copy BatchLaunch.exe to "\Storage Card\Android\" and rename it to haret.exe

Copy BatchLaunch.bat to "\Storage Card\Android\" and rename it to haret.bat

In this case the content of haret.bat would be:

\Storage Card\Android\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\Android\zharet.exe

If using this method you will have to change the registry Key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gen.Y\DualBOOT\AndroidBootFolder to contain the value "Android"

Method #2

Copy BatchLaunch.exe to "\Storage Card\" and rename it to haret.exe

Copy BatchLaunch.bat to "\Storage Card\" and rename it to haret.bat

In this case the content of haret.bat would be:

\Storage Card\Android\CLRCAD.exe
\Storage Card\Android\haret.exe

No need to rename haret.exe in Android folder in this case.

Using this method you won't need to change anything using Gen.Y .

I have tested both ways and they are working perfect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
I used the 1st option and no dice there...

will try 2nd option...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
still cant get it to work... should I be moving BatchLauncher.exe before renaming or can I rename then move into Storage Card?

clicking haret.exe just wont execute the haret.bat file for some reason...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
thanks, but I find it cumbersome to take out the SD Card (where all my stuff is, music, videos, ebooks) just to be able to boot into windows...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
O.K. just to make sure that BatchLaunch is working I have setup

a small testing environment.

Extract the Test.rar to the root of your storage card and start BatchLaunch.exe .

If it does, that proves that BatchLaunch works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
BatchLaunch.exe works and runs the Test.exe...

I tried renaming to haret.exe and edited the bat file as you suggested via Resco Explorer... still no dice... Batchlauncher.exe runs but when renamed to haret.exe it wont run at all
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sector`:
Works great with Gen.Y boot.

Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Downy:
I just wanted to report back, I currently have not been able to solve the problem yet. I will try your test enviroment and report back later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gargon01:
Have you made the reg edit in HKCU/Software etc... as stated before to redirect the AndroidBootFolder to /Android/ ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pongster:
Yes, I've done that... when I click the renamed haret.exe it does nothing... still not sure why it won't work... will probably cook a new ROM to try and sort it out :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
Use a fresh install of Gen.Y (or make sure that registry is unchanged) and use the

corresponding one of the two new downloads in the first post.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ClementNg23:
perfect! worked like a charm!

all i did is extract the zip file with android, paste it on the SD card (let it over-write anything), and run gen.Y (just leave the android folder key in regy alone, do not assign into booting from the folder), then bingo! sound with andro genY boot!

thanks OP for this wonderful piece...

p.s. has genYduel-boot always been loading the thumbnails slow like it takes 3 seconds to fully load the page? need confirmation cause it is the first time i getta try android and im only a kid+beginner :)

oh and just realized supports so many colour that I dont need dithering anymore!

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
Yes, that's totally normal.

WinMo is booting and everything is a bit slow at this moment.

If starting Gen.Y after WinMo has fully loaded it is fast again.

But anyhow, what's WinMo ? Is it this stupid piece of software I need

for starting my Android ? :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ClementNg23:
WinMo, also know as Windows Moblie, is the Acronym (shorter term) which stands for Windows Moblie, or now know as Windows Phones.....

It is also called WM in some cases.:cool:

Oh also, you do not necessary 'need' WinMo cause youre phone laready runs on WinMo since it is an operating system. Yes it can be know as a piece of software but it is mostly considered as an OS for portable devices.

Hope this clears things up a little bit for you :)

(it actually looks tiny bit confusing to me, like all of my posts lol)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmihai20:
Update

I have launched the test you provided and it works fine. I don't understand why it didn't work before. I used the wait command, without it it works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
wait(<time in ms>) should work fine, using it myself without problems.

I use it to let WinMo load completely before starting CLRCAD and haret.

However, I am planning on releasing a complete replacement solution for

Gen.Y DualBOOT including support for multiple Android builds.

soooo frustrated!!! wont work!

First off i have a hd2 with the yellow reset button tmobile usa, Energy rom aug 10, radio 2.12.50 mattc android build mattc nexus 2gb gen y dualboot, and dualboot works but not in conjunction with this batchlaunch. when i unzip batchlaunch it already has 3 files named haret. there is haret,haret.exe, and haret.bat. so there is nothing to rename. if i use file explorer to run clrcad then haret from within the android folder it runs.....but if i use dualboot with batchlaunch it will go as far as the android splash screen but then just RESETS. Does gen y run clrcad now? or do i still need batchlaunch and if so HOW DO I USE IT. The methods above have not worked for me...:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Xcelsior:
it already has 3 files named haret. there is haret,haret.exe, and haret.bat ???

I think I get a clue on what's happening to some users.

- Remove all haret stuff

- Put original haret.exe in folder Android

- put batchlaunch files into sdcard root

- Try again

There should be only 2 files of haret in root.
