Yes, this methode also works on Froyo!

Hello peeps,

i've managed to get this tip working on my SGS running Froyo. I'd like to share the steps i've made to get this working. All credits still go to socket84. I only want to make things clear to help other people who couldn't have managed this.

1. Create a new folder in your internal SD. Name this folder Fonts (as instructed by socket84)

2. When your desired font doesn't have the bold version of itself you can basically copy it so this way you'll have 2 font files. After that rename both files to

DroidSans.ttf

DroidSans-Bold.ttf

(as instructed by socket84)

Remember: your desired font must be a real True Type Font!

3. Copy both font files to Fonts folder in your internal SD (as instructed by socket84)

4. Download from market BUSYBOX and have it installed automatically. When it's finished installing to your device you need to run BUSYBOX on your device to get the actual installing process started. I kind of found it weird, too. But this must be done, really.

5. Download from market gscript lite and have it installed automatically.

6. Run gscript lite and let it take Superuser access then go to Menu --> Add script --> Load file. Then close this app. Now a new folder named gscript has been created in your internal SD. (as instructed by socket84)

7. Download and unpack Fonts Script.zip. Copy all 3 files from the unpacked folder Fonts Script to folder gscript in your internal SD (as instructed by socket84)

8. Run gscript lite then go to Menu --> Add script --> Load file.

9. (IMPORTANT) Select BackupSystemFonts.sh. Don't forget to check needs su? and then press save to have your current font(s) backed up.

10. (still in gscript lite) Go to Menu --> Add script --> Load file

11. Select ChangeSystemFonts.sh. Don't forget to check needs su? and then press save to have your desired font set.

12. Now the fun part. When you're finished with previous step in gscript lite you will see a list of commands such as: Reboot Phone, List SD-card, CPU information, Backupsystemfonts and Changesystemfonts. Select Changesystemfonts to apply your desired font . Your device will reboot and voilá your new font is set now.

Good luck. ;)

Hi, where can I find this style of fonts? Is there an .apk file to download somewhere?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SweXerox:
don't wanna spoil the fun but...

There's another free app that works like a charm on latest 2.2.1 SGS ROMs called "Font changer Lite". Suppose there's a paid app as well. Don't know any differences though. Check it out ^^

[Legend Themes and Apps] Mafiatounes:
Try to download rockplayer from the android market you will need the armv6 version some videos have lag
[Legend Themes and Apps] niroop:
I tried rock player but it cannot play mkv files properly

[Legend Themes and Apps] nomad4ever:
I found out now that converting everything to HD AVC H.264 mp4 480*360 works well without hiccups for me.

I use Format Factory to convert, which is free. The UI sucks but it converts okay.

I find I need to copy text from Gmail or a website sometimes and I have yet to figure out a way to do it. I can easily copy text from a text entry box but if it is just text on a page or email you cant bring up a Select Text option. Is there any way to do this?
[Vibrant General] dublued:
On browser,

Menu > More > Select Text

Gmail,

Not there yet. Try check via Browser when you need to copy text. You should still be able to paste in the gmail app
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Yeah, this is in the sticky. Froyo brings copy/paste to gmail.

I added a contact to my contact list on Thursday and it didn't show up until Friday. I made heavy changes yesterday (clearing out the useless ones) and it still has not shown up. So maybe it doesn't update every minute, I get that. What I don't get is how I have....

removed and replaced "Corporate" from the displayed lists on my contacts menu

removed and replaced "Corporate" from the Accounts and Sync > Sync Contacts option

turned off and on Auto-Sync on Accounts and Sync

....and the changes STILL haven't shown up! Do I really have to remove the account and replace it in order for changes to show up? How much of a "sync" is this if I make a change and nothing happens for days? When I turned off and on Auto-Sync, the grey sync icon appeared on the notification bar and ALL the accounts under Accounts and Sync showed they were currently syncing. I waited until the process was done, then went to my contacts list and saw no changes.

Any suggestions? How do you get changes to appear immediately or is that not how SYNC works with contacts in Exchange on this phone? My email syncs immediately, new mail and read mail will display almost simultaneously on both the phone and PC, so how come contacts won't do the same???
[Captivate Accessories] Pirateghost:
i did this the other night. went in and cleaned up my gmail contacts, because i had old versions of contacts that i have updated versions of in exchange. by the time i was done with editing my contacts, they were already synced with my phone...
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Gmail sync is flaky sometimes. I have had many branded Android phones, and sometimes you find a change that just won't sync.

My final solution when i am really frustrated is to just delete the account from the phone, reboot and add it back.

I have not had any problems in a while though.
[Captivate Accessories] magicdanw:
I have no idea if this application supports the Google Exchange Contact List (no idea what that is) but I've found MailDroid to be much much faster than either the stock mail app or the GMail app, and have lots of nice features.

Alright thanks
[HD2 General] primus123:
i would like to speed up my TMO HD2, i have already flashed the HSPL3, just want to know what are the best ROMs. I dont really have much of an issue with my device, i have read alot of post of users who are very upset with the HD2, i am a very happy user. I do have the data connection issue, which seams pretty close to the IPHONE problem.

So if there is a list of the best apps, or if someone can give me a little more insight on which ROMs, are the best, and what they will give me in return.

Thank You
[HD2 General] freeincolorado:
Best rom answers are subjective... A lot of people like the Energy roms...

I use bsb tweaks and Cookies Home Tab. Both work great and help out tremendously. A good task manager is key to keeping your hd2 running well, I use Dutty's but there are others. Your reception issues are decidedly different than the iphone. Try other radio images out, but be careful of the so-called .51 radios as they will brick your device.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
omega and elegancia
[HD2 General] primus123:
ok,

1st, what are Radio ROMs?

2nd, i use the cookies home tab, and the CHTE, those are .cab, i use a the DUtty task manager, works well, have a few .cab i installed from xda

3rd, what are energy ROMS,

are all the ROMs, just modified versions of current running ROMs on the Phone
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
you really should just go into the rom section there are descriptions and walk throughs

the radios are what control the reception and quality of calls and affect the battery.

the rom is the actual OS and there is the updated 6.5.3 stock on the hd2 is 6.5.1

plus there are little updates and many tweaks that just make it faster and better and roms include different customizers and programs
[HD2 General] primus123:
how do i tell which radio i currently use for my HD2,
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
go to settings, system, device info.

and make sure you hard spl before flashing anything. go read the guides

As of now, has anybody been able to compare The Evo to Leo running android?

I personally have been using darkstones V5 and its incredibly fast and responsive, the only thing lacking for me is the gps, 5mpx (possible 720p recording) and more battery time. If those would be fixed it would be perfect.

Now, back to the original question, I haven't used the Evo hands on. What do you guys think? does Leo match up with all its hardware running android? or will Evo remain the top android phone right now?

Food for thought: After everything is worked out on Leo, could it be the best Android phone around?

What do you guys think?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] narta:
EVO is 4G, CMDA locked down device. Hardware is similar but it was build to run nativly the Android OS.

Leo is unlocked and can run win + android (with it's current limitations). If devs can (and I think the will) make a nand flashable ROM with all the things in working order, LEO is clearly the winner ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mr_billionaire:
I have used the EVO, but only in store, and with all those random apps that have been downloaded, but i can always ask my friend to compare our phones (he ownes the EVO) but this Desire ROM is great although its been charging all night, its only about ~98% and still charging, but its not complete as of yet, but once its done it will be a competitor to actual Android phones.

Sent from my HTC HD2 using Desire v5
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shu8i:
evo= 4g + 8mp camera (720p & livestream), second camera, hdmi out etc.

evo is the winner for me :) leo is kinda the small brother of the evo
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] willgill:
I own the HD2 and running the fastest version of Android (see sig) for me.

My wife has an EVO. My daughter also has an EVO. I've played with both extensively.

EVO's 4G is still difficult to connect to or find 4G area. Others have posted main specs so I won't go into that.

If you like Android, the EVO is superior in every way except battery life and construction.

The HD2 gets about 3-4 more useable hours than the EVO, and this is with 4G off.

The battery cover on the EVO covers almost the entire back plate. It's plastic and cheap.

Android rarely ever hesitates on the EVO. Android is at least twice as fast on the EVO.

Android on HD2 - certainly useable with a few missing features

Android on EVO - lightening fast and amazing
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Metastable:
One thing people seem to miss is that the EVO, or Sprint's '4G' network for that matter, is not true 4G. It's actually WiMAX simply branded as 4G, but yes it is faster than the LEOs 3G.

I have been using the XTarantula's eclair build and it has worked rather well so far =D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
The evo prints money.

I grants you three wishes even if one of those wishes is for an Iphone 4.

I has an app that builds you an island then transforms into a jet and fly's you there.

Its Mf indestructable.

it has the wifi's but very few gb's.

but seriously... Hd2 vs the evo 4g. Are you kidding me. One is native android one is not. And the hd2 is the original the evo is the mistakes they fixed.

Would I rather have the evo not really Im not missing nothing. I mean video chat would just make sexting worse. other than that the more mp's doesnt mean crap for picture quality.

Personally aside from the poor battery life problems which is because of androids lack of a ability to manage the hardware this thing runs pretty well.

I am perfectly happy with my hd2... and heard they are going for 99 now? If so I should have waited.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tuppaacc:
I got to say EVO has a better technology but sprint kills it, firstly because is a CMDA phone, second because of the outrageous price for the internet, oh and there is NO 4g coverage in many areas and last BECAUSE in a couple of month ANOTHER much more better device will come out.

SO OVERALL HTC H2 (LEO) IS FAR BETTER THAN EVO
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:
using the latest zimage(released today ) , the hd2 3d benchmark scored higher than the evo and similar to the desire , so we are nearly close to perfection , and the speed has increased allot with the latest zimage

iam using stock 1.66 rom without even hspl nor new radio and with 2gb class 2 card , and desie v5 rom and it is really fast
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stoferr:
A lot of people seems to be comparing the two phones by "Speed" "Responsivnes" and "Performance".

Now my friend got an Evo 4G, and I an HD2, and I must admit, I'm afraid that the EVO is better on those terms. Yes, it is a bit bigger and bulkier, but Android does run better on it whatever people says. When browsing the home screens on Android on both mine and his phone, it is clear that the Evo 4G is faster. The benchmarks may say something else, but when it comes to what really matters, which is the user interface, and how it works, I must declare the Evo the winner. Its jut a lot faster, this might be hard to understand, but trust me, when sitting with both devies in your hands, there's no doubt.

Also, when it comes to hardware, the screen itself, feels a bit more responsive on the Evo, but nearly as fast as the Iphone, or Xperia X10 mini.

But which phone is the winner? For me its the HD2. Not because of the way that it runs Android, or because that's its a bit smaller. But because of the community that it has created. Never before have I seen so many people dedicated to develope, test, and take part in all kinds of porting and hacking. It is beatifull to see Android work so good on the phone even tho its miles away from being perfect.

It is stunning to see the hundreds if not thousands of ROM's developed for this one and only phone, where people has been so great at providing feedback, to the skilled developers that this community boosts.

And that's why that this phone wins. Because of you! You guys are all the best :D

Wao! beautiful post!!

Thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DeekoVB5:
Well, I don't consider the Evo to be the top native Android phone. I give that award to a member of the Galaxy S line. Better GPU + (IMO) better screen. But I digress...

While Android on the HD2 has improved by leaps and bounds over the last few weeks, it has a ways to go before it matches the Evo. Android is much smoother & faster on the Evo, not to mention the kinks that still need to be worked out on the HD2, and the better camera options on the Evo.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Raary101:
This is actually poetry, and I cannot agree more.

It's amazing to see all of these people working together to make this phone the best it can be, and I'm sure that as time progresses, Android on the HD2 will improve extensively, and I look forward to using it for day-to-day use. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voiceofid:
I was also able to use a friends evo. For a few hours and ran various tests between evo and HD2 with desire v4. Their UI is definitely 25-50% smoother. Data speed was the same but the thing I noticed the most was UI smoothness and battery life. We went to Disney fully charged. And left at the same time, he still had power while I had all background services shut off and I've lost power. Total off charger time was 6 1/2 hrs

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] w0LfNiNja:
awesome!!

awesome statement there. i personally have been part of a group much like this. it for a device called the casio be300. it was a pda that didn't get a windows os, and we all felt screwed... like the hd2 not getting win7phone. like this group, we all banded together and and flashed the nand to run all sorts of OSs. this whole experience for me is like a dream of the past. it is great!

i've never been so happy i made the right choice in getting this phone over some of the other t-mobile phones i was looking at. =)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Drazix:
What I don't understand is the large difference in 'smoothness' of the UI between HD2 and native android devices, such as Evo/Desire.

People will say, 'it's beta!' or 'it's running from sdcard instead of nand!', but: HW3D is already implemented (and finished as far as I know), and running from slow storage (sd card) cannot make any difference. When scrolling through the icons, GPU+CPU will be used, not storage.

So what can be causing this 'slow' UI on the HD2 vs Evo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Running from sd card can and will make things run slower.. Nand is always faster than flash memory. And a lot of the drivers had to be constructed so they arent as optimized as they would have been had htc designed the phone for android in the first place.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stoferr:
Another thing about the slow UI, is the slow screen. HD2's screen got a pretty bad response time compared to many other devices, which is really a shame.

To see this yourself, when on the homescreen in Winmo with sense, use the slider in the bottom of the screen. Slide it forwards and backwards and notice the delay.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
dont you think that could be solved by a registry edit.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pongster:
OT Alert: You want fast scrolling between sense tabs in WinMo? Cleanex Ultra Awesome has the fastest speeds known to Sense and HD2

But I digress...

EVO looks like a beast of a device... best Android hardware out there is the Samsung Galaxy S, imho...

Love the "best of both worlds" we have with our HD2 though:)

A buddy of mine at work has an Evo. When I showed him Froyo running on my HD2 he was pissed. He is a nub with phones and still using 2.1, thinking 2.2 wasn't out yet. Lets just say he was jealous. Not to mention the iPhone owners always looking at what I'm doing on my HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hoss_n2:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] xmRipper:
No need to discuss. Of course EVO is better.

Also, HD2's Android is still in development, you can not compare them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sanien:
HD2 vs EVO

Of course the EVO is better than the HD2 when we are talking about running Android on them. Everything works on EVO and alot of thing are not exactly running smooth on the HD2 - at least for now ;-D

And as for hardware specs (purely) The Evo wins too with 720p recording, larger battery and HDMI out. However I think the HD2 is a lot more fun! Mainly because of you guys (as the other Dane stated :D). Because of the huge community behind it, there is always new things to fiddle with, new roms to flash (Warning flash ahollic here) and new bugs to fix lol! I mean how fun is it to press a botton in Android to update to new version:eek:

In everyday use both phone are great but the HD2 is more fun, so I for one am happy with my HD2 (plus I am a Microsoft man lol)

Btw. Could it be that we are a little tiny bit bias as we all own a HD2 LOL
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kerman19:
As others have said, you can't really compare a native android to that of an HD2 running it from SD card.

However, for me, ever since I got my HD2 about 2hrs in to owning it I knew I'd made a huge mistake picking it over something else, WinMo just isn't all that good, you have to spend far too long ****ing about with it just to make it reliable, then even longer making it do what you want it to do.

When the first builds of Android starting filtering through and now, I'm finally glad I bought the HD2, hell I even had an iPhone 4 user staring at my phone as I was doing this, that and the other.

I know some people have posted benchmarks showing the HD2 beating other phones with the same hardware, I can't say I trust them at all.

However, I suspect one day, we'll have a comparable setup to other native android devices.
