[GSCRIPT MOD] HOW TO change system fonts in Android UPDATED 06/08/2010 - Galaxy S I9000 Android Development

Hi guys,
another day, another tip!
Today I will explain how to change your system fonts at will, but as download and set them free.
You will say that our phone has this function ... But it is not true, or rather, this function has to pay.
To avoid spending money unnecessarily, I will explain where to download millions of characters and how to apply them in a few clicks!
Let's start!
What we need:
- Samsung Galaxy S i9000
- Phone rooted with STAND ALONE PROCEDURE (all credits to Leshak);
- IMPORTANT, BUSYBOX from Market;
- Gscript from Market (all credits of this app goes to PinkVenture, if you like it, buy a full version);
- My tips
What will do:
- Download any font you like from THIS SITE (all credit goes to this site) or any site that lets you download free fonts;
- Create a folder called Fonts in you internal sdcard:
/sdcard/Fonts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Rename the downloaded font in 2 files called(2 files with differents names, same main file):
DroidSans.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Copy those file in /sdcard/Fonts;
- Start Gscript, leave it to take Superuser acces, then press on:
Menu --> Add script --> Load file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and close it;
- a new folder called gscript was created;
- Download my zip file contenets all of 3 scripts that we need:
BackupSystemFonts - backup all your system fonts from /system/fonts to /sdcard/Fonts/bak
ChangeSystemFonts - change the system fonts
RestoreBakSystemFonts - restore the backed up system fonts from /sdcard/Fonts/bak to /system/fonts
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Copy all 3 scripts in the gscript folder on internal sdcard:
/sdcard/gscript
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Start Gscript and then press:
Menu --> Add script --> Load file
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
select the script that you want and check Need SU? then save;
- A new script is added!
- Press on the script you want and it start!
- Well done, the new font is applied!!
Archive password: socketandroid84
Needless to say that now you can choose any font you want and apply it without any problem with only 2 clicks quickly and safely!
I hope that the trick will be useful!
Update 06/08/2010 - LOOP SCREEN RESOLVED
- Before apply the scripts install BUSYBOX from MARKET; there is a bug in the old version of busybox installed by the update.zip for root our phone. It's install an old version of busybox that doesn't use the "cp" command.
So, when you go to remove and copy the new fonts though the script, it's remove the old ones but doesn't copy the new ones. You can resolve this bug simply install the last version of BUSYBOX from market!

Bravo!
I was wondering how to apply new fonts that I want besides those
from manufacturer. Thanks a lot

Thanks. First time I tried changing fonts (not using this method) I ended up reflashing the whole thing because it got stuck on the i9000 welcome screen so be carefull dealing with fonts (yeah sounds weird I know) ^_^

I thought we can change font:
Menu->Settings->Sound and Display->Font Style
I am still trying to figure out how to add more fonts.

Thanks for the easy method.
My results:

is it possible to change the font size too? because some of the 3rd party fonts look really nice, but a bit too small when applied.

Really nice font!!! Can u upload it?? Thanks mate

Are there any prerequisities for the fonts? Because I tried one and the phone got stuck in bootscreen, so I was forced to make a reflash of FW.
I found out that I have fonts with 2 different icons (all files are .ttf), one icon has TT and the other one has O on it (see attached screenshot).

probably that one is a .otf font with a renamed extension.

Thanks guys, I will try the "real" ttf font.
EDIT: working like a charm, thanks

this is awesome!

Crap, I did the same thing - Gets stuck while booting...
Might want to give a clearer warning in the first post about the need for a true, ttf. I'm apparently way too anxious to get things going than reading all posts

ok, how do i reset? because i got stuck while booting after doing this smh....

heck same here end up stuck at boot screen. is this really due to the font i want to switch? how do i know it's a real ttf font?

Every FONTS in this site work very well:
FONTS
If you want to reset, reflash or press the power button for 10 sec i think... search in the wiki!

For me, it worked once with 2.1, then, after flashing another 2.1 firmware it got stuck while booting.
With 2.2 it doesn't seem to work...

Stuck at loading screen too, only option is to flash ?? or is there any other option ?

Kind of lost how to reset the phone.
Is the only way to do it by pressing Volume down and turning it on?
Not in the mood to lose all my Data. :-/

Ultimate Extractor

I got this idea from a thread where someone was asking for a certain icon pack and I suggested to go one by one and grab the icon from each apk. I then thought to myself that this could all be automated. So here it is:
Ultimate Extractor
HOW TO USE:
1. Download icex.zip
2. Make folder C:\icex
3. Extract files from icex.zip to C:\icex
4. Put the theme in C:\icex (has to have .zip extension)
5. Make sure that the theme is the only zip file in C:\icex
6. Now you have 4 choices:
-> 6a: If you want everything (.pngs, .jpgs, .xmls) run UltimateExtractor.bat
-> 6b: If you want only icons (icon.png or ic_launcher*.png) run IconExtractor.bat
-> 6c: If you want almost every single .png run PngExtractor.bat
-> 6d: If you want to run Ultimate Extractor on .apks and not a whole zip file, run UltimateExtractorApk.bat *NEW*
Thanks to ultra spikey for his theme porter script which I based mines off of and thanks to woelv for the thread that got me to do this.

ICon EXtractor v1.0
HOW TO USE:
1. Download icex.zip
2. Make folder C:\icex
3. Extract files from icex.zip to C:\icex
4. Put the theme in C:\icex (has to have .zip extension)
5. Make sure that the theme is the only zip file in C:\icex
6. Now you have to choices:
-> 6a: If you want every single icon, run IconExtractor.bat
-> 6a -> 1: You will be prompted twice
-> 6a -> 2: Hit 'u' and enter at both prompts
-> 6b: If you dont want to be prompted, run IconExtractor_NoPrompt.bat
7. All the icons will now be in folder C:\icex\icons
The reason that the non prompting one won't give you all the icons is because a lot of icons are named "icon.png" so they end up overwriting each other. Also some of the ic_launcher* icons have the same name as well (such as ic_launcher_gallery). The prompting script gives you the option to automatically rename the .pngs as they are extracted. I will try and find a way around this eventually.
I will try to find a way to get all the icons without being prompted (its a 7z thing)

nice work! now you need another tool to repack the icons. so people can extract icons from one place and repack them automatically into another. that would be perfect since people who extract the icons want to use it for another app or theme.

Maybe you could create folders for each apk. So that the icons can be easily identified?
Great work, by the way!

i was able to get them into folders for each apk but i was having trouble getting them to the root of each folder (they were in res/drawable within each folder which is what im trying to avoid)
ill keep working on it and see if i can get them into the root of their own folders
EDIT: found a huge bug which ill be fixing for the next update

This would make mylife ten times easier to port themes. I have to search through the whole rom to get the png's I need. It takes around 4 hours to do. Plus some of the older roms png's have different names for them. Mostly on the Framework. Does it extract the png's from the Framework as well?
Yea it should be doing so but ill double check to make sure
EDIT: no i wasnt doing it before but i implemented it now
ok new update
have everything in separate folders now
enjoy
ALSO, for anyone who's curious .. that 'huge bug' is due to some themes having an 'app' folder while others have 'system/app' ... my script wasnt working with the 'app' folder before ... now it tests for it
EDIT: had to re up it real quick with a small fix
Should I reboot after doing this process or simply the icons apply themselves instantly? 'Cause I did it and nothing happened. i'm on CyanogenMod 3.97 and try to put icons of the Aero theme...Can some help...Pleaseeee

this isnt changing the icons in your phone .. this extracts the icons from any theme and puts them in a folder on your computer .... its mainly a help to theme devs or anyone looking just for icons
Ohhh ok good thanks for the reply
This program works great....Only one thing though, on the launcher folder, seems like the png's w/ the same name get over writen. Example= "delete_handle" from Res/drawable-land AND Res/drawable-port aren't two different Png's. Maybe for this apk and others with thhe same folders, you could place them in the original folders----Drawable----Drawable-land----Drawable-port, as you said it work before hand. Some other folder/Png's are missing as well...
I tryed to use UltraSpikey's theme converter and was unsucessful. I was More accurate using this method, thanks to you... It is gladly appreciated...

yea the overwriting pisses me off but its the only way to get it fully automated .. i will add a second version that will prompt to rename any pngs ... or i can try to get the drawable, drawable-land, and drawable-port right ... can you let me know which folders are missing so i can see why?
Can't wait until saturday night, i'm off work, so i can play with this. Thanks for your hard work!

now they get extracted into their respective folders (drawable, drawable-land, drawable-port, etc) (also this stops the overwriting )

no problem man .. just trying to use what ive learned so far to help out the community
Works perfect now!!!
Ten Thumbs up!!!!!!
Now its like stealing candy from the baby...
Any ideas that i should implement .. it feels sorta 'final' but i can always try and optimize/revise/add to it
There's always room for improvement... How about making this script pull the Jpeg"s off the Framework and Launcher??? Then at a later date(Next update) locate the most common edited Xml's files to be pulled off next...

Changing Fonts

Here's my question, I'd like to switch out the fonts in the Rom I'm using is the Bowtie from Nebula (loving it by the way). I'd just like to switch fonts is all. What would I need to do. I read a few post a while back in some other threads that to use metamorph but the apply says for advanced users. I don't think I'm on advanced level yet but I would still like to learn.

Metamorph is really easy to use.
Download the free version from the market, once its installed you can download a zip with fonts in it then just apply the don't you want to use.
EDIT:
Search the threads for (metamorph changing fonts on the fly) and there is a zip file you can download there to use with metamorph.

You can also flash this (attached) through Clockwork. What I do is, open up this zip (use program 7zip, if you don't already, on your computer),
Take any font, rename it to DroidSans.ttf or DroidSans-Bold.ttf.. etc, copy and replace any fonts inside this zip, then flash.
Or, you can just check out the mother of all xda font threads: 200 Flashable Font Packs
I think ComfortAA (the attached one) is still my fav though.

ComfortAA is my current favorite as well. I use root explorer to copy the DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf files on my sd card and paste them over the default files in the system/font folder. When I restart the phone, my font is there.
I bought Root System Font installer from the market. Over 200 fonts, you can preview the font and its easy.

[CODEROM][THEME] CyanogenMod default theme + CM7 bootanimation

Here is something which I did out of interest. I am not trying to replicate the perfectly able (and the BEST) CM7. Its just that i tried to make this as our theme. Works on both CODEROM versions.
What all I have added:
1. The CyanogenMod default theme (Orange) leaving the dropdown.
2. 'Calculator.apk' the dark one which looks a lot better than our normal calculator.
3. 'DeskClock.apk' the default clock widget of cyanogenmod. Better clock looks on lock screen and more alarm options.
3. (Optional) Bootanimation of CM7 as I liked it a lot.
How to apply theme:
1. Download the attached zip.
2. Copy to root of SD card.
3. Get into recovery.
4. Apply update and select this zip.
5. Reboot.
THEMES:
1. Download and update "CYANOGENMODdefault.zip" if you want the CM7 bootanimation.
2. Download and update "CYANOGENMOD(noboot).zip" if you dont want CM7 bootanimation but the theme.
NOTE: I havent changed the dropdown of the quickpanel. It is same as before but i have done a modification which you can see in the screenshots attached.

If you are running on KPH then do one thing. Go to /system/media/bootanimation.zip copy that. Use your root explorer to search the other bootanimation.zip and then replace that by this. Then your CM7 bootanimation will work. The thing is that bootanimation of coderom is saved in /system/media but i dont remember where its saved in KPH. Thanks

Whoa! Nice work you've done here, dude!
Been looking for a theme like this for like months!
Great job!
how can i get back my codenexusace boot animation
In "MY FILES" menu, when I tap the "MORE" button i can't see names of commands such as "COPY", "PASTE" and more. Only after I tap one of them and hold, the text becomes visible. I guess it is a bug and shoud be removed. I am using codenexus.
I've installed your theme last night and I love the way it looks.
But I have a lil problem here; my notification bar is now missing. :-(
I've tried to change the setting of LauncherPro to make it visible but nothing happens.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Many thanks before
Nice theme, but one problem:
When use the browser and then select "settings", i hardly can see the options because the font-colour is so dark. Pls fix that
no much different thought.. only status bar icon and animation.

What do you mean my friend? i didnt understand . and as per others, i am trying to fix that menu problem. Will soon fix it. Tried some methods but it isnt working.
I think that he mean that this theme doesn't really change anything instead of bootanimation and status bar icons. But please tell me is there any way to change the bottom dock style manually? Not by installing Launcherpro or sth like that. I don't like the standard android style (three icons) and I prefer touchwiz. When I install themes it never changes.

Hey sorry about not responding to that earlier. I found out what the problem was. The thing is that the update binary in the zip has some functions which work only on CWmod recovery. So if you are using your normal recovery, you will lose your status bar. After that you have to either repair it by applying some other theme or reflash your ROM.

Hmm... I tried flashing this using CWM but the status bar is still missing. Probably because I used the latest CWM. Will try later for old CWM when I get home.

Okay, it now works with 4.0.0.9 CWM. The only thing is that I had to press "power off" in CWM rather than reboot.

[Q] How to remove current wallpaper?

Is it even possible to remove default wallpaper? Sorry for the stupid question.
If what you mean is to change the default wallpaper, I think you could modify the framework-res.apk file. There's a resource file called default_wallpaper.png (or close to that, I forget ) change it with an image you want, I believe there's a tutorial about that in XDA
If you want to change your current wallpaper, you could do a long press at your homescreen and select wallpaper
Hope this helps,

Yeah yeah! Default wallpaper is what i meant. Where is this framework-res.apk file that i can change? Hmmm.
I found the framework-res.apk file, but couldn't find the default_picture.png?

This is how I did it :
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. Install "root explorer" or such application (I assume you know how to use it, if not, google it, it's not hard,really)
3. Copy the original framework-res.apk (in /system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your SD card, copy it to your PC.
4. Use 7-zip to open the framework-res.apk from your phone
5. Move to "\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\" (see screenshot)
6. Look for "default_wallpaper.jpg" (see screenshot again)
7. Now, you could just change that file with another file, choose the wallpaper of your choice, and resize it to match the resolution of the "default_wallpaper.jpg" (if it's 400x800, your new file SHOULD have the same resolution, to prevent... I don't know, just to be on the safe side )
8. Rename your new file to Default_wallpaper.jpg, and drag it to the 7-zip window with the original default_wallpaper.jpg, overwrite it
9. Push the new framework-res.apk to your phone (use root explorer or adb, I used the root explorer)
10. Reboot phone
NOTE!!
I haven't tried to change the default wallpaper, but I do change many parts of the framework-res.apk, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Here's the screenshot of my expanded Notification bar :

This is how I did it :
1. Your phone must be rooted
2. Install "root explorer" or such application (I assume you know how to use it, if not, google it, it's not hard,really)
3. Copy the original framework-res.apk (in /system/framework/framework-res.apk) to your SD card, copy it to your PC.
4. Use 7-zip to open the framework-res.apk from your phone
5. Move to "\framework-res.apk\res\drawable-hdpi\" (see screenshot)
6. Look for "default_wallpaper.jpg" (see screenshot again)
7. Now, you could just change that file with another file, choose the wallpaper of your choice, and resize it to match the resolution of the "default_wallpaper.jpg" (if it's 400x800, your new file SHOULD have the same resolution, to prevent... I don't know, just to be on the safe side )
8. Rename your new file to Default_wallpaper.jpg, and drag it to the 7-zip window with the original default_wallpaper.jpg, overwrite it
9. Push the new framework-res.apk to your phone (use root explorer or adb, I used the root explorer)
10. Reboot phone

Step 4 is not that clear Reidzeibel, you mean open it on my phone or PC?
Oh sorry, I mean, open the file on your PC (it's the one that you modify, and later push it to overwrite the original framework-res.apk)
And before doing anything to your handheld, prepare a nandroid backup just in case. I did a nandroid backup everytime I modify the Android system files.

Dude :
-I extracted framework-res.apk using 7zip on my PC.
-I replaced the default wallpaper with my desired wallpaper.
-Now, i do not know how to compressed it back to .apk file.
No, don't extract it, just open it in 7-zip and leave it opened, don't extract, don't do anything, just find the image file you want to change, resize it to match the resolution of "default_wallpaper.jpg".
I've attached two more screenshots to show you, hope it helps
Regards,
Reidzeibel
P.S:
-In the "drag" screenshot, I replaced three files, those with entries on the "created" and "accessed" field are the ones I replaced, the files I edit are shown in the explorer window behind the 7-zip window

Bro,
I did exactly as you show the steps above and it suddenly reboots! Why it happened?
EDIT :
By doing all those methods, will it change the lockscreen a well?
P/S : Do you know how to modify the transition when locking the phone? Just asking!

Uh, I had no reboot while doing the push, I rebooted manually after having several force close windows popped up (in my case), but then after reboot, it works normally. Is the default wallpaper changed?
No, Lockscreen wallpaper have it's own option in the settings->display
And for the transition, no I didn't have time to try it yet. But I do want to learn how to change my phone lockscreen transition into ICS manually (without theme) <--- this, or your question is about the crt-animation when screen turns off (locking phone)?

1. My phone rebooted itself and then there were some FC's with the launcher. I clicked on Force Close and it is back to normal. My default wallpaper changed as i desired as well! Thanks to you Reidzeibel!
2. For lockscreen wallpaper, there's nothing related to modifying the framework, is it?
3. Due to lockscreen transition, i meant that by changing the transition into ICS manually because i LOVE the old-tv-like transition!

1. Mine was : Force close ALL THE WAY =___=, then the notification bar screwed up, all applications icon turned to default, the phone became laggy, then I rebooted manually. There's the thanks button, click it, LOL
2. As far as I know, All theme-related files are :
-Framework-res.apk
-SystemUI.apk
-Settings.apk
These three files have some connection to the theme, I themed my notification bar as in the first post by modifying Framework-res and SystemUI. The ICS theme file in the Theme Thread has the three files included inside it. Thus to edit the lockscreen transition, I believe you have to edit the three files, in a more complicated way (might have to deodex, decompile, recompile, smali-ing, and so on)
3. Actually you could just apply the ICS theme, and then modify the framework-res.apk to enable the CRT-animation, it is easier than porting the ICS theme to your own framework-res.apk

1. Clicked it already! Hehe.
2. I think i'm gonna opt that out as i do not how to do those complicated stuffs, well i'm not a dev.
3. ICS Theme? Where do i find it? And how do i modify to enable CRT-animation? I have so much to learn! Sorry for the excessive '?'.
1. Thanks for clicking thanks )
2. I'm not a dev too -_-, but I do learn some stuffs to modify my I8150, read many topics here, and I'm sure you'd be able to personalize your I8150
3. There's one at the Theme thread, But I haven't tried it yet, If you want to try it, make sure you create a nandroid backup beforehand.
No worries about the excessive "?"
Actually I have a thread in another forum that explains about the CRT-animations and modifying SystemUI & Framework-res.apk, read it somewhere in XDA. (forget where it is) Too bad it is in Indonesian Language, too busy to translate it into english, maybe later I'll post at the theme section, as it is all about theme. *and I just reached 10 post here on XDA, thanks to you too )*

Mister Reidzeibel, thanks for the short reply as well as your helps. I appreciate it dude! Thanks AGAIN! For default wallpaper, i'm really quite satisfied with the outcome. For the lockscreen, maybe i'll just use my picture as one. HAHA! And for the lockscreen transition, i have posted a new thread about it and i'll just...wait for someone to provide me the tips to do so! Good day bro!

Thank you for the reply but not sure I wanna install an old APK. Was hoping I could just install my Google Sans TTF via a font installer but no dice.

Gonna need root to do it otherwise. Couldn't find any other way before finding that one.

Thanks anyway. You think this phone would have freedom to do these things.
