Hey Epic 4G users. I just thought I would drop in and let you know about Heimdall, if you haven't already heard of it. Heimdall is open-source, cross-platform flashing software i.e. my Odin replacement.

Unfortunately I don't have access to a Epic 4G so I know very little about it. However, if it uses Odin to flash ROMs like the GT-I9000 or Captivate then you should theoretically be able to flash ROMs onto the EPIC 4G also using Heimdall.

For more information (and download links) please refer to the official Heimdall thread. If you have any questions please post them in the official thread as it's a bit difficult for me to keep track of multiple threads in different subforums.

Just read that the t(off)mob-ill Gtoo has a chip installed that verifies the content of the OS. http://m.gizmodo.com/5656921/t+mobiles-g2-rootkit-will-reinstall-stock-android-after-a-jailbreak

It goes one step more, it re-installs the stock os (from where, a cloud?).

Sort of like S-ON restore with auto install.

Wow wtf man? This kinda stuff is going to make Apple look like a shining beacon of hope.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
This is bad news. HTC makes the G2, should we expect the same from all their future devices?

That said, they will crack it in due time. At least I hope. If not my next Android phone will not be a HTC or maybe none at all - WebOS or just stick to my iPhone.. Just think, this whole community centers around mostly HTC devices. No root on HTC devices = ??

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Hello,

I was trying to make the app drawer transparent, tried editing the apk from /data/app/com.helixproject.launcher.apk

I assumed \res\drawable\pattern_carbon_fiber_dark.png is the BG for the app drawer, tried to make it semi transparent and then pushed it to the apk in /data/app.

:(IT DIDN'T WORK!:(

Helix Launcher doesn't work anymore, I had to restore it using titanium.

I also tried editing the installer apk, signed the app using signapk, then used adb install. and I got:

file 'helixlauncheredited.apk' does not contain AndroidManifest.xml

Do you have any other way to make the app drawer transparent? I really love the Helix Launcher and doesn't want to use other homescreens, I just wanted to make the app drawer transparent ^_^

Any help is appreciated. Thanks very much!!

(HelixLauncherDONUT_1.2 is the one I'm using)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sascha6982:
Try this.... You have to resign it with Auto-sign(If you search you can find on XDA).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Thanks for trying sir, I installed and it...

doesn't work... sorry. The app drawer ended up looking like gibberish with all the apps multiplying and overlapping everywhere. Have you any idea why this happened? Maybe setting the png to just semitransparent can do the trick?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sascha6982:
Problem is if you open the drawer you see a black background with apps but under this is your homescreen. So if drawerbackground is transparent you see both.

Why you would have a transparent backgraund? The black one looks good.

Sorry for my english.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Hmm. now that you've said it, I realized that you can't just change the .png to transparent. :D I just want the app drawer's BG to be the same as the wallpaper's. Black is not really my color lol. I prefer grey, mint green or brown...

BTW, can you please tell me how you edited the apk to make the app drawer transparent? From the files you've edited to signing the app? I think it would be useful in modifying other apps... :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sascha6982:
ok for example helix with transparent background.

you need auto-sign from this forum(cant post links as newbie) . winrar and an picture editor like photo shop.

1. unpack the helix.apk with winrar in a folder like /helix on your desktop.

2. go to folder /helix/res/drawable and change or edit every png you like

3. delete folder META-INF and pack the rest into zip

4. move the helix.zip to auto-sign folder and rename into Update.zip

5. double tab on Sign.bat. Now you have update_signed.zip

6. rename update_sign.zip to helix.apk and install on your phone.

hope you understand, my english is not the best.

good luck
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
Thanks a lot sir! I have no trouble understanding your English. I will try this out on my downtime...
[HD2 General] usmcdvldg:
Hi all,

I can not for the life of me get mms msg sending working on this build. I can receive them, just can't send them. I copied the apn info from my v2 build in which it worked, still no dice. I tried all three apns listed on t-mobiles web site, still no dice. I seem to be at a lose.
[HD2 General] ashasaur:
Some versions of Android just do not send MMS messages. It seems to be a pretty common problem on the HD2 builds, though there are builds out there that support MMS. I would just look around and see if you can find one that you like.
[HD2 General] SaintlyNYC:
When you do figure out which HD2 builds will support mms please make sure u post it on here. I also have the same problem.
[HD2 General] usmcdvldg:
V2 did, but this build is 100 times more stable, faster, and supports every other feature, so if it can't be done it is a small price........

Hey does anyone know if you can just drag drop fonts (via root explorer or push via ADB) into the system font folder and get them to be recognized as web fonts? Or are Droid named fonts the only ones that are recognized?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GuestK00453:
if you could bundle up some of these, i think they'd be great for phone use.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
Updated to post 2 - that one came out a bit weird though (but still usable), I think it's because that was an opentype font and not a truetype font.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GuestK00453:
me likey :D

this is the avenir font that was just added to post #2.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
Lookin good! - can you update your post with which font that was?

Edit - thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] makskylan:
Can these be flashed through ra recovery or is there a different way? I thought they have to be a signed zip? Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
That's not what I meant.

When you browse the web, web pages reference to different fonts (those that are on Windows/OS X) but if it doesn't find any of those, it usually defaults to a common font type (serif, non-serif, or fixed width). In Android you pretty much only have the Droid font family, and ALL web pages will default to those fonts.

My question was whether if adding non-Droid fonts (like Georgia/Lucida Grande/Verdana which are widely used in the web) would be recognized by the browser.

Right now web typography on Android SUCKS. It's boring and the serif font looks awful at certain sizes. iOS has a decent selection of fonts for web use, and I understand that with Android being open source, they couldn't add licensed fonts. Anyway, I'm going to try and see if any of these fonts stick. Hopefully they will.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] wase4711:
does anyone know if these can be used on any CM6 nightlies?

thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
I've been using the latest Amon Ra to flash, and haven't run into any issues.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
I just checked the browser, and these fonts do follow through - as far as your browser is concerned, these are now your stock android fonts...if I understand you correctly. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
No, I mean have the browser detect EXTRA fonts besides the default system fonts (whether they are the default droid fonts or custom renamed ones).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
think i'm following you now (but who knows, I confuse easily :)), and I don't think it's possible. I'm not sure, though. Sorry I couldn't be of more help :(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Award Tour:
Yeah, I pasted them into the system font folder and they don't render in the browser. I'm not sure how Android links fonts but there's probably a way to do it that I don't know of. It sucks though, web typography is sooo boring on Android.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] makskylan:

NeoTech

I originally voted for Ubuntu, but after trying about 10 different of the most popular, i'm really liking Neotech. It's just a little thick when in blocks like on the news page, but other than that it looks great throughout the OS.

Again, thanks a ton for doing this fachadick.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
I'm sorry, I just realized you're not talking about the evo. I wouldn't know where to begin to try and help you out here. Sorry. :(

That thread's got some nice stuff for the droid - and has some nice finds for fonts (some of which I may add here :)), but I'm looking for download links like dafont or fontsquirell. I'm trying to make sure that all of the fonts I use are non-commercial and freely available from sites like that, with the copyright info given. but if you want to trade some font ideas off each other that'd be cool. :)

edit - I took a shot based on the droid fontpacks you linked to. Same concept as what I do for the evo, but the structure is a bit different. Try the attached and let me know if it worked for you.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thepwneddroid:
OK, it works for me, but when I unziped the package and changed the fonts and ziped it back up again, it didn't work. What application do you use to zip the files and can you tell me ones that might work on a mac? My Herculanum font is attached.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
I don't know what you would use on a mac, but I use 7-zip on my pc. Note that I'm not ever unzipping anything (or zipping it back up). 7-Zip allows you to add and remove files from archives within archives without actually unzipping anything - I would imagine you would be looking for a program that can do the same on a mac. For all I know, 7-zip might even be available on a mac.

here's your herc back in droid format - I like that font, btw - I think it's got a spot in the next update :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
To the OP, ...Amazing. this really is so cool of you to do this. Thank you. It's a really nice, easy way to change things up a bit, when you already love the ROM and theme you are using.

The Eziatto is beautiful and I wanted to try it, but just way too painful on MY eyes, not bold enough for my peepers.

I see the hand of Sean looks awesome, too. I've been wanting that for a long time. I had something close to it running on my blackberry years ago. I almost didn't look at it cuz someone described it as 'graffiti-like' and I didn't think is be interested. Glad someone posted a screenshot, thank you. It's exactly what I wanted. Again, OP, thank you.

I'll try to post a screenie of Eziatto (the too-hard-to-read one for me) .

Edit. Shootme no longer seems to be working on my phone. Screens don't go into gallery, shootme. They do go into SDcard/shootme using file explorer, but can't upload from there. Gotta figure this out.. Fixed it.

Only one image would load. Other two said invalid file format. Even though all were from shoot me. Weird. Sorry.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thepwneddroid:

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lovethyEVO:
Just giving everyone a heads up. This app "font size" is terrible. It reverts your font back to stock and after it does that it says "error this app is for rooted phones only".

This is where the true beauty of the refund policy in the android market shines through. I refunded that app and flashed eurofurence back on. Now to figure out how to truely change the size of the fonts.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] WormDoes:
Love the fonts can I use these on my Eris? I don't know if the size would be off, figured I'd check first before I go flashing away ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
Jeez, that sucks - I won't be recommending that anymore. thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lovethyEVO:
No problem. I don't mind trying paid apps as long as I can get a good test on it before the 24 hour refund period.

But definately stay away from that app. I have started looking into editing ttf files now so hopefully I can come up with something.

Although the basis looks familiar, i don't think I'll have much luck finding the actual font. This isn't really a font - it's logotype - and those are generally created by the companies themselves. I'll keep my eyes peeled though.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nhutpham:
Thanks for posting up Arial, but I guess it's a little off from what I was expecting. I'm not sure what font Myn's rom uses, it looks to be something more like an Arial Narrow or Calibri. Any ideas on what it is?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
The font used in Myn's 2.2 is Helvetica Neue which I can't add to my collection. Try Fontpack-LiberationSans.zip - it's a little thicker than Helvetica Neue, but it's pretty decent for people trying to get the Helvetica look.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fachadick:
You have to be rooted to use these, so you should already have a working knowledge of what flashing is, as well as a valid nand backup (in case anything goes wrong), but here goes...

easiest way to flash these is

1 - download Rom Manager from the market

2 - download fontpack

3 - in rom manager, select "install rom from sdcard"

4 - navigate to the fontpack, and select it

Note - don't check backup existing rom, or wipe data and cache - those two options aren't needed for something like this. Once you hit ok, it will install the new font and reboot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
That is, indeed, the font I was referring to. Thank you so much for all of this. I've been using the Elianrelles font the last few days and LOVING it. It's absolutely gorgeous. Thank you. I'll try to get a screenie up.

It sounds like there's something up with your copy of rom manager. try reinstalling?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] oxbull:
