I think its come up before I'm the thread, search the thread for the word vibrant and it should come up. I think its possible, but its not a simple as just flashing. You can also check out post 2 for a link to some flipfonts that should work for you.

Anyone having problems flashing the china cat font after the update to amon ra recovery?

My Mynion swyped my Phantom Evo via XDA App.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
Thanks for the heads up - it wasn't signed properly for the latest version. I resigned and updated the file in mediafire. If you delete the version you have and redownload it, it will flash correctly. Or you could toggle verification, and flash the one you have.

@fachadick

is it safe if i use this zip and apply it on my LG P500?

or is it much safer pushing it via adb?

tia
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
As long as you're able to flash other zips through recovery, it should be perfectly safe. for something like this, since they're so basic, I don't know if adb is any safer, it's just another (free) option you have to change your fonts.

and i also tried following your tips in creating your own font pack.

and its hard to find a working bold font for DroidSans-Bold.ttf

i have tried 3 fonts already...

the error says, "wrong digest"

darn..

anyway, knowing you have this extensive font pack collection, i decided to look for them..

and fortunately they were all there....

» FontPack-YanoneKaffeesatz

» FontPack-LiberationSans <-- this one has problems.. missing gsh**.ttf

there... finally i get to see them on my phone...

thank you very much!

Why not use font changer lite (must be root) and install any font you want easiest possible way? Once you select font just click restart and there you go.

type fresh is free.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/type-fresh/net.pixelpod.typefresh
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
If there's one thing I've learned since I started this thread, it's that people like to do what they're comfortable with, and when it comes to rooted android phones, that means flashing. In fact this whole thing started because a co-worker of mine couldn't figure out how to use typefresh - all he was comfortable doing on his own was flashing zips through recovery. So I started this thread with just the handful of fontpacks I put together for him, and within just a few hours, it already had over 1000 visits, and 100+ downloads (this still holds up too - as popular as apps like font changer or typefresh are, hundreds of these packs are downloaded every day, and thousands of people check out the screenshots daily too). I even had a walkthrough on how to use typefresh in the OP for a while, but had to get rid of it because I needed the space.

The way I figure it, more options are always better. If you don't want to deal with yet another app on your phone, or can't get the hang of one of those apps, or don't want to hunt down and manage a ton of different fonts, or don't have time to figure out which fonts will work on your phone (because not all of them do, even if they're ttf), what can be easier than grabbing a few of these packs and throwing them on your sdcard, and flashing as needed? Also, a bunch of these had to be converted to ttf, so they wouldn't work with those apps anyway.

If you have no problem with those apps (or any of the other font changing apps out there), this thread still serves as a decent collection of fonts with screenshots so you can see what the font will look like on the phone. Each fontpack also has a direct link to where the original font can be downloaded so you can plug it into one of those apps.

So yeah, there are apps out there that do the same thing, but none of them are as idiot-proof as these packs are. To each, his own. :)

Hey all, sorry if this question has already been asked, but is there a way to change the font of the HTC Sense Clock with the weather widget.

The numbers for the flip clock are png files. You would have to edit them in photoshop.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
This was posted above, but the fonts don't effect the flip clock at all - to do that you have to change the actual image files within the app. This link was posted too, but Stoney's been putting some custom flip clocks together over here. Try asking him for a custom clock with your font - I can't speak for him, but he's cool like that, maybe he'll hook you up.

Help flashing new font!!

I'm currently using Axura 2.2.5.7. I would like to install the new font for my samsung vibrant. But when I went to Recovery and did the reinstall the package, it just keep stuck in install update.

I think I did something wrong with my phone

Could anybody show me how to flash the new font to axura?

Thanks so much
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
Check post 2 - I don't know if these can be used for your phone as-is, but I link to a ton of flipfonts that you should be able to use pretty easily. If you want to use these packs, I think there's some tweaking that you would need to do. Search the thread for "captivate" for more info - I think you would be in the same boat.

Garfiled font

Hi,

I really like the Garfield font but each letter is too wide.

Is there a way to make them narrower and smaller.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
I wish. Theres a paid app called font size, but search this thread for it before you buy. It apparently works for some, but it seriously screwed up my phone, to the point where I had to restore a nand backup to get things working again. And I wasn't the only one.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah

edit - that Garfield font was the font in all the speech bubbles, but the one below is the font that I associate with Garfield because it was on the covers of all the Garfield books I had as a a kid. Looks pretty good on the phone, but just like the Garfield font (and perhaps fittingly, Garfield himself), it's just a bit too big. Pretty easy to read though, due to its chunkiness.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ddbone:
Hey thanks for the quick response.

Just FYI,

I tried what you said and got the error message aborting installation (bad) after it finds the directory of the zip I customized and opens it.

It may be a problem with the Arial font itself.

The other fontpacks flash np.

I may try to insert the fonts directly into my system folder using adb, but I'll probably wait until I'm home from work. I'll post my results
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:

Hey okay

Im on CWM-Alpharev Recovery v2.5.1.8 (Not sure if the "alpharev" protion is important... I did my S-off fairly recently)

Flashing the packs you posted straight up, unmodified is working np.

The error I get is here:

-- Installing: SDCARD: (dir here+file)

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

E:Can't open (dir here+file)

Installation aborted.

If there is another log you wish me to post please let me know how to access it and I will do so.

I'm fairly certain I followed that post #2 correctly, I've done a few .apk changes the same way with .9.png files etc and haven't had a problem yet, not saying its not possible, but I don't think its user error, but again, it could very well be lol.

OH and also, I tried toggleing the 2 options given. Signature verification ON/OFF and Package asserts ON/OFF (the second maybe worded slightly different, sorry I just left work)

Take a look at the 11/08 bundle, those are all handwritten fonts. I usually recommend Chinacat instead of comic sans though. You can find Chinacat in the op, but here's a thinner version of it- its exactly the same as chinacat, but slimmer on the page.

FontPack-ChinacatThin.zip

I don't create custom fonts, but I do take requests. That's a tough one though, and my google-fu isn't as strong as it used to be so I'm not sure exactly what font they used for their logo. I plugged it into some font identifier tools, and it gave me this one, this one, or this one as possibilities. Unfortunately those are all commercial fonts so I can't add them to the thread, but if you have them already (or want to buy them) you can make your own fontpacks by following the instructions in post 2.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mfouco:
Thanks for all the hard work you guys have put into this. I've become addicted to changing fonts thaks to you guys,

I've been trying the CM7 nightlies and because they are based on Gingerbread i can't seem to flash the font packs zips. I've been using the following instructions from adb found on the second post

1: open up the fontpack of the font you want to load and extract all three ttf files from the system/fonts folder. Put these files in your android-sdk-windows\tools folder.

2: adb remount

3: adb push Clockopia.ttf /system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf

4: adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

5: adb push DroidSans-Bold.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

6: adb reboot

My question. Is there a way to do this as a script? or from terminal. I hate to plug in my phone to do this every day as i test nightlies? thank you in advance...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
The scripts in the fontpacks do the same thing as the adb commands you mentioned, so if the adb commands are working for you, the fontpacks should be working also. What happens when you try to flash a fontpack?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RegnierD:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RegnierD:
Whooooah... Hmmm, I'm pretty sure only like two devices needed to upgrade to the 3.X recovery, are you sure the EVO was one of them? You could try downgrading to a more recent 2.X recovery and flash again. That's an intense message, even paraphrased, lol.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mfouco:
Well, this is the most comprehensive font guide i've found and i'm it's what you need to do if you're running CM7 Nightlies on a Mytouch4G. Anyways, i don't intend to modify the way the .zips are build, i just need a little guidance on how to create the script so that i can run it in terminal. I'll wait till the community moves to 2.3(gingerbread) to adjust my expectation for those scripts to be updated. For now i would love some guidance on how to build the script. sh i guess...

thanks...

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
Couldn't say. I haven't looked at gb at all yet - sorry man, unless someone else has any more info for you, it looks like adb is going to be the way to go. :(

edit - I was able to find some commands to enter in terminal emulator.

IF YOU USE THIS METHOD RUN A NAND BACKUP FIRST, JUST IN CASE

Create a new folder on your sdcard called newfont and put the three ttf files from the fontpack in there

In terminal emulator, type (no copy/pasting) the following commands

su

mount -o remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

cat /sdcard/newfont/DroidSans.ttf > /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

cat /sdcard/newfont/DroidSans-Bold.ttf > /system/fonts/DroidSans-Bold.ttf

cat /sdcard/newfont/Clockopia.ttf > /system/fonts/Clockopia.ttf

mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

sync

reboot

if you try this and it works, or if anyone sees any errors with this, can you let me know?

edit2 - This has been confirmed to work on a Nook Color and an Epic 4G, so it should work on other android devices also. If you try it and it works on your android device, please report in!
