Let's talk about fonts. FlipFonts!

Hello everyone. It seems that I can't see any other thread with this topic in my searches so I'm starting a new one.
FlipFonts are built-in to our Samsung Galaxy S's and they're quite nice. What are your thoughts on them, and do you have a favourite one?
My favourites are Dave Gibbons and Soho Gothic. I wish there were free fonts, or better yet, a way to use OpenType/TrueType fonts.
UPDATE /// Create Your Own Flipfonts!

I present you with two threads. The first is my How-To thread with everything you need to start making FlipFonts. First time will probably take you about 20 minutes, After you get use to the steps you can make one in 5 minutes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745345
The next thread is the Vibrants Master List of user created FlipFonts. All that I ask is that you post your flipfonts in this thread so that they are all located in one location. We have been trying to keep the fonts in the first few posts with links that allow for download in the XDA tapatalk app.

Thanks a bunch to Ritalin for this. Hopefully a lot of people will join in making more FlipFonts available.
Here's my first try in making a FlipFont: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7776274&postcount=201

agree, i've been pondering about that as well, there should be a way to convert/import regular TrueType fonts into our phones

I've seen other fonts being and installed by users, but am I right in thinking that you need your phone rooted to be able to use them properly?

Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735148 u have to be rooted, but its working with truetype fonts.

how can i use the flipfonts?
sorry for the Q

the official route is to buy them from Market then
Settings => Display => Font Style
I do like the Helvetica Nueue and Frutiger but none of the flipfonts I've tried seem to include a bold weighting (important for me when seeing what email is unread, also the time in status panel should be bold etc).
Droid Sans (the default) is pretty cool though anyway.

It's a pity no one's figured out how to package them in an apk for installation by non-root users. All good stuff though.

My favorites are Helvetica Neue and Soho Gotic (my #1 favorite), though some applications look a bit ugly when using other fonts than Droid Sans.

and could you tell about unofficial route pls?

Are you guys serious... I created a method for making your own FlipFonts and posted it in every Galaxy S variant forum on XDA, Im a Vibrant user. Hell my howto was even posted on AdroidSpin last week.
This method does NOT need root and works just like the fonts in the market.

Dude, I'd give you 3 stars and a pint of your favourite drink for sharing this with us.
--- EDIT ---
Already created my first FlipFont! I'll be posting it in that thread. Off to create screenshots now. It didn't come out as good as I wanted, it looks a bit too small, but hey.

No problems... I'm glad so many people have found the how to useful.
If you want to check your font size before making the apk double click on any of the capital letter glyphs after you do the paste special. This will open up the edit window for that glyph. You should see the original guides for android fonts listed there. Use the cap height and other to see if the new characters are too small or too big.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

did something happen to the font thread?

yes, why are the fonts missing?

Wondering too.I created some flipfonts.now where to post?maybe I'm allowed to share them here again.

post to keep this thread up or shall I start a new one with a collection of all flipfonts/my flipfonts?

Thanks for the tutorial.
Soon, i'm converting the fonts on my PC to my SGS!

[HOWTO][MANGO] Put your app in the Settings hub. Now includes description changing!

Mango allows us to put things in the settings hub. This is pretty easy to achieve, just go to your project, open your WMAppManifest.xml and add this on the <App>-tag:
Code:
HubType="268435456"
Now deploy your xap to emulator or to a real device. You can find it under the Settings-menu.
Tested & works on Mango Emulator and on Samsung Omnia 7 (Mango RTM)
To change the description see this post: link.

this can get interesting. ill check it out.
can we create another app hub called APPs and put all the apps there instead of having it populated in a long list in the programs list?

I have no idea, but I'd say we can't. Someone needs to find out what that HubType number means

Interesting. Though, once it is installed, how is it uninstalled? A tap&hold on the option in settings shows nothing... so is there another way?

You need XAP with the same app id that does not go to the settings hub, just deploy it and uninstall

Possibly it's a bitmask? Not that that really clears anything up, but 268435456 is 10000000000000000000000000000 in binary.

Interesting. Gotcha. Slightly annoying implementation. But then again, I guess most devs aren't supposed to use this hubtype anyway.
Any idea on how to customize the description text that appears below the entry in the settings menu? I tried looking, but I can't find any lines or strings that seem to have any effect.

I made a project template for you, just open it in visual studio and it has samples for customizing the text. 2 ways to do it, in WMAppManifest and in code, just look at my sample it is very easy.

Slacker is on the Music Hub and it shows HubType="1" in the manifest. Non-music hub apps just don't have any HubType in the manifest.

Settings list uses HubType too.

Yes, I am aware that this entire topic is about that. I was mentioning it because it was not mentioned before in the discussion about the Music Hub.

Hey, mate thanks for your tutorial.
But I'm still quite confused, cuz I can basicaly just change the tile title within WMAppManifest in order to change the gray discription in your sample app, but when I do it upon my own app, it doesnt shows up....
e.g I change the official youtube app, added HubType=xxx, and edited WMAppManifest, change the tile title into "sample discription", but this text dosent shows up below the big settings entry name.
Could u tell me how to do that by only changing the WMAppManifest.xml file? w/o re-assembling dll files. Thanks

eBookLauncher (new homescreen)

I have finally got a nook
so, I have started porting my Sony homescreen replacement to work on the nook
so far it can get the list of books and shelves (collections), but not much else.
http://code.google.com/p/sonyprst1home/
I'll try to keep this thread updated with how it's going
please let me know if you would like to test this out (I can send you an apk to install)
All new releases will now be made on the google code page above.

it would be grat to have the apk and some screenshot

i would be interested to see a screen shot...

Awesome! Time to test it! I'm at school right now, so this is probably a terrible idea, but I might as well have something to do, right?
Edit: Have some screen shots. Ignore the 10:16 in corner of all the screen shots, I have an app that does that. (Sorry for the massive post)
Mini-Library / Homescreen
Pressing Menu on the Homescreen
Pressing "My Home Settings" here brings you to this screen
Library
Apps Page 1
Apps Page 2
It still seems to have various elements in color besides the app icons and the book covers.

if you use the apk from this thread, it uses a different method of accessing the database, and doesn't need permissions changed on the database file.

Wow, I love this forum!!
From what Googie posted, I can see this is another cool thing to try out.
Now to get an SD card.

Wow, thanks for the great work. Really nice application for too many books and collections.
However, as the project was opensource, are you going to release the modified source somewhere? in a branch or tag or something?
I would like to see the screensaver feature working for last launched book, would try myself if the code was available.

the code is already available at the google code site in the first post

As you mentioned the APK here has a different way of accessing some file, and I don't see a tag or branch for the nook, I understand that the code is the one for the PRS-T1, correct me if I am wrong.

It's the same code. I am making a single apk that will run on a Sony and a nook (and other devices in future)

First general release (0.1.0.00) which runs on both the Nook and Sony is now available on my google code page.

[SERVICE] XAP Hosting

XAP Hosting
Sharing WP apps always has been awkward. often are there questions like: "where should I upload it?", "how do I update my app?","whats happens if I do update it?" and "do I need to replace all my links to the app with the link to the updated app?".
XAP Hosting tries to answer all those questions. :good:
with XAP Hosting you can showcase your homebrew app like never before, you never have to update links because it will always point to the newest version!
Check it out!

Your username was about, lol, I will try to create a better registration form and such after buolding the api

Will you add a possibility to browse the supplied XAPs? That would be really awesome And you said you're building an API, I could help you with making a WP app so it's possible to browse and install directly from the phone in an easy way
Hope this goes well cause this could be a really good store. I see a lot of possibilities here

Right now theme creator it's kinda slow, buggy and not friendly to use, theme creator does not offer much customization, otherwise you can do magic through photoshop, but they did not offer any template other then stock one. I would like to see templates with examples of which part is used for which asset, they made one huge file (over 120 mb) and put every system part that could be themed, if they separate every different part that would be really awesome, now you got to edit everything inside one file, it's not that hard to do that, but its really confusing, you need to visit their tutorial for every part, i don't really like that, it would took me ages to make one theme that i really like. It's good to see that Sony actually cares about users of their smartphones and i really really hope they will make more improvements while it's still in beta phase. Or they should make theme creator as standard application not completely java based with more options inside app or make more templates with less content, just to be easier to overview, edit and generally clearly.

I would like to see templates with examples of which part is used for which asset, they made one huge file (over 120 mb) and put every system part that could be themed, if they separate every different part that would be really awesome, now you got to edit everything inside one file, it's not that hard to do that, but its really confusing, you need to visit their tutorial for every part, i don't really like that, it would took me ages to make one theme that i really like. It's good to see that Sony actually cares about users of their smartphones and i really really hope they will make more improvements while it's still in beta phase. Or they should make theme creator as standard application not completely java based with more options inside app or make more templates with less content, just to be easier to overview, edit and generally clearly.

Actually, I planned to use it one as a converter and compiler... nothing more.
I built many themes and I don't need program for theming...
But...
It could make themers life little easier...
Actually, I wrote first tutorial "how to built themes and theme Sony UI" when Sony released their first theme engine...so I really believe we'll find our way to get maximum from this program.
We know which asset is for what and I'm sure this program could only save few min or hour of boring merging and compiling...
Sony will continue to polish this app, I'm sure...
I'm also sure we'll have great app/program soon...
One awesome thing that I would like to see in the future is implementation of this app into ROM and theming OS in a real time..

I own E3, and I replaced nav buttons , but they stays the same old... There's no way to change some bckgrnds, too...

Xperia Theme Creator
I don't know if everyone is understanding the nature of the Xperia Theme Creator, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS6 IS REQUIRED. Without Adobe Photoshop CS6 this application will not work - period. I have earlier versions of Adobe Creative Suite and I can confirm 100% that XTC v0.0.1 BETA will NOT function at all.
I stand corrected in advance if you have Adobe Photoshop CS6 which in turn would allow XTC v0.0.1 BETA to properly function.
Just my 2 cents!

Hi,
I'm glad to have found this discussion forum.
I'm using a MacBook 10.9. I find that, every time I add a new image, it'll take ages to load the preview. If I click on other sections, it'll again take ages to load. Anyone else having this problem? In the end, I had to quit the Creator and launch it again. It's so much faster this way.
Thanks for any help rendered!

hey, what does it mean by "support lollipop"? my phone is using 5.0.2. I had the back/home/overview buttons images in the theme creator, however, they don't show up when I installed it on my phone. Is that related to "support lollipop"?
