You can also try the "Custom front switcher" from the market you have alot of different fonts to choose from. Works with Froyo and gingerbread just make sure you reboot so the changes take effect

are you using a custom browser (ie dolphin?) sounds like you've set the user agent to something other than Android. easy fix. I had to change my dolphin HD user agent back to android (I usually use desktop because I can't stand the mobile versions of websites) to dl the swype installer, then I just changed it back.

here is the latest beta from swype read to install multi langue thats why its 11mb
just place on sd card and go to file manager and click on install should work perfect

ok there are different ways to install it all clearly laid out for you in the thread. I sugges take your time and read carefully. if you have rooted your phone then I dont see how this can be an issue. Honestly there are only a few ways to install anything android related:
Flash it - placing zip on sd card, booting into recovery and flash
install it - placing apk on sd card and clicking on it
Push it - done by using adb codes
Quite sure on that page its nothing more than flashing thru recovery since I have already done it.

[MOD] Boot animations Tutorial for any ROM on E4GT

So we finally have a method to change our boot animations without using the very expensive program to create QMG files.
I am going to give you an E4GT specific tutorial that I have come up with because this method was created and used for the Note II.
Thank you to smokin1337 for posting the Note II version HERE
"Update: As pointed out in the comments, this was also accomplished by XDA Senior Member anbech in his thread originally aimed at the SGS3."
SGS3 Thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1897969
Here we go!!!
ROOT is required.
1. Add bootanimation.zip of your choice to /system/media
2. Flash Bootanimation4U.zip in recovery of your choice other than stock.
Flash Gears-Bootanim.zip in recovery of choice(other than stock) for generic boot animation. Will also fix a bug of a non working boot animation causing a completely black screen. Even after boot. Just flash this and it will fix your problem.
Those two files are attached.
If you want sound add an ogg file named PowerOn.ogg to /system/media/audio/ui, if sound doesn't work be sure /system/bin/samsungpowersoundplay exists if its there it will play sound if not its not included in your rom download it HERE then put it where it belongs and fix the perms which should be rwxr-xr-x
Reboot...Enjoy
Some custom boot animations
Kick Ace Boot Animations
12MaNy's Boot animations
You can also use Rom Toolbox found in the market to change your boot animations to any that they have on their server. Some may not work but most do. Don't worry if it doesn't work, your phone will still boot fine. I will go over how to make RTB animations work correctly.
Flash bootanimation4u.zip in recovery
Grab ROM Toolbox from the market. There is a lite version that is free and a Pro version that is $4.99. I highly suggest getting the pro version.
Next you will scroll over into the 'Interface section of RTB and go down to boot animations.
That will load up all of the available animations to install.
Next you will press the menu softkey and a menu will pop up.
Hit the second option for the 'Install Location'.
Change it to "/system/media/" (No quotes) Also do not change the file name.
After that you can install any normal boot animation.
If you want to install Tablet animations you will need to...
Download it first. Do not install.
Click it and select "Resize"
Change the width to 480
Change the height to 800
Make sure the FPS is at 30
Hit ok and then install it as normal
Reboot to view it.
(If you get a black screen with no animation try changing the FPS to 20 if that doesn't work, then the animation most likely wont work, but feel free to try a different FPS)
Thanks for reading guys and I hope I helped some of you new guys and veterans bring more customization to your phone.
:beer: :highfive:

This is awesome. Thank you for this. Can't wait to finally have custom boot animation back.

I just tried this on rooted / deodexed GA10 and it doesn't seem to work. Granted, I'm using the lite version, but I changed the install location, the boot animation install said "complete", but the boot animation didn't change.
Any thoughts?

Did you flash the bootanimation4u.zip in the OP? You have to flash that for it to work.

getting black screen is usually caused by bad desc.txt file, or the bootanimation.zip file being compressed..
if getting black screen, try remake the desc.txt file with notepad++, and/or try extract the bootanimation.zip file, then add the desc.txt file and the including part-folders into a new bootanimation.zip file with no compression...
just my 2cents
cheers

It's a VRTheme - just copy it to your N7 and flash it in recovery (either TWRP or CWM).

Hey few questions
First is there did you get the icons from. Do you have Amy HTC ones? Or any other interesting ones?
Also what happens when i want to update my rom. Do i have to re flash?

Thanks , its working ) i tryed only MetaMorph before, i dont saw on google any other tutorial

Its Easy. No need to change roms or anything.
Just install the application mentioned in this post "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219804" and remember you need to have busybox installed or it wont work. It worked for me on my Nexus 7, as you can see in the screenshot attached. Hit thanks if I helped you.

App "SoftkeyZ" from the playstore (needs root & busybox) does the trick.
