Since people want smaller updates for themes I have reworked the Theme template so that HTC_Music can be installed as well as HTC_IME vk keyboards for those using apps2sd (located in system/sd/app)
NOTES:
This is just a template, you need to add all your files in the proper directories
The Readme.txt file in the app folder is a placeholder Replace it with HTC_IME.apk or whatever other program you want in system/sd/app so that you don't clog the system/app folder
Don't forget to sign before using. Do not delete any folders or it will not install.
This is for people with system/sd/app only. If you have your data in data/app I can try to make another but you will have to test it yourself!
If you are not making a theme for this or porting one DO NOT USE it since it is not meant for anyone to install without loading a theme into it.
Here is the file.

Thank you for this beagz. As always great work
I am using a theme a stock rom and after sometime i am go back my default the by flash with cwm.
But i can get my default font style!
how to i back my original fon style
If its the default inbuilt font of the ROM you cant backup it but you can note the font name and download it again by settings->display->screen display->font style ..note the font name and install it..
If its the user installed font (you installed it) then use titanium backup to backup the font you installed (note the font name from above)
Hi,
After updating gnex to jellybean(unlocked boot + rooted), I installed a unicode font to read my language(it's based on droidsans) using this application(Tamil Unicode Font -Donated)(i can't post link as i'm a new user)
it has a backup option which backed up my old font. Now I want to revert back to fonts that came with jellybean(roboto condensed?).
This application had a restore option that didn't work. I tried several applications like font changes, font installer etc... but none of them changed my font back.
How can i switch back to original stock fonts(roboto in jellybean) without losing any data?
Thanks
Try the ROM toolbox app in the playstore. It's for free. It has a menu to change the system font, and many other customizations. Hope this helps.
It is very convenient to apply a font by using monotype Filpfont. It does not require reboot unlike flashing via Recovery, saving time and battery. And no risk of brick.
But as of ICS, its application is limited so much. Still it is applied to many, but built-in browser app is the most notable example of where flipfont doesn't work.
AFAIK, it's because of the way flip font works and change of how Android display fonts. (Or Samsung stock browser directly load Roboto...?)
1. Flipfont works by overriding DroidSans.
2. The default font of Android changes from DroidSans (GB) to Roboto (ICS+). And DroidSans is a symlink of Roboto, which means when Droidsans is needed, Roboto is displayed instead.
3. Thus, Android (ICS+) loads Roboto instead of flipfont, when DroidSans is needed.
I'm not sure if it is true or not, but it's what I learned while searching... If it's not true, please make a correction..
Anyway, I thought about three ways of applying flipfont all over the apps, for a Rooted galaxy device with flipfont.
1.
a. Remove symlink of DroidSans with Roboto.
b. Modify system_fonts.xml: change all Roboto Family to DroidSans family.
c. An app that calls Roboto Family loads Flipfont via DroidSans. (Roboto->DroidSans->Flipfont)
2.
a. Remove symlink of DroidSans with Roboto.
b. Flash Roboto-Regular and Roboto-Bold which are bereaved of characters, to refer to Fallback fonts to display characters.
c. Modify fallback_fonts.xml: Add DroidSans upper DroidSansFallback.
d. Roboto->Fallback fonts(DroidSans)
3.
a. Modify Flipfont library to work properly.
b. I know nothing of how to
What do you guys think about these? especially about 1 and 2? Do they seem possible?
For NST/NSTG with 1.2 firmware
Hi, new NTSG owener here
After reading this thread I've decided to make similar mod for 1.2 firmware.
NOTE: this was tested on rooted 1.2 firmware on NSTG but should work fine also on NST
Modifications in framework-res.apk:
-added languages: the same as in original mod
-replaced some images: by default not-localized ones had ugly "X" painted on top, now they look as for English locale
Modifications in Settings.apk:
-all languages are now visible in language picker ( <extra android:name="hideDevLanguages" android:value="false" /> in xml/settings_locale.xml) removed due to SetupWizard incompatibility (com.bn.oobe doesn't like this)
-added Development Options in main menu (changes in xml/settings_root.xml and xml/settings_root_gossamer.xml- first file is for NSTG, second for NST)
-locale picker is present in Development Options
-added Sync & Settings submenu
If you wish to play further with Settings.apk I can recommend this tutorial (it's for ICS but workflow is the same for Eclair).
Downloads:
All files are CWM flashable zips
NSTG-MULTI-1.2.x-flash.zip -modified framework-res.apk
NSTG-settings-accounts-1.2.x.zip -modified Settings.apk
RESTORE_FRAMEWORK.zip -restore stock framework-res.apk
stock-settings.zip -restore stock Settings.apk
Remember to make a full backup before flashing anything
Updated Settings.apk- now Accounts & Sync is available
NST owners- please post feedback, I can't test modifications on your hardware.
EDIT:
Removed modded settings.apk due to SetupWizard incompatibility, testing alternate solutions
EDIT EDIT:
Modded Settings.apk back online.
BIG FAT WARNING
Settings.apk is deeply tied to other B&N system apps, Setup Wizard will fail with a modded one.
So if you want to use it keep original one around in case of data wipe
PERFECT! just what I wanted.. hey this DOES have Japanese on it right?
as in.. the list that said..

Languages were taken from 2.1 Samsung EU rom.
I've used Android Multitool
If you want to add language:
1.Grab a 2.1 rom which has your language onboard, decompile framework-res.apk,
-copy /res/values-[desired language code]/ folder which includes arrays.xml, plurals.xml and strings.xml
-copy /res/raw-[desired language code] folder
2. Decompile Nook's framework-res.apk
-put both previously extracted folders to /res
-copy any of existing /res/raw-XX to /res/raw-[desired language code] -this folder holds localized images
-compile apk
-there will be warning about missing strings in translation- dont' worry, system will use english ones
-copy AndroidManifest.xml file and /META-INF from original framework-res.apk to newly compiled one (apk is a zip)
3. Replace framework-res.apk in a flashable zip and flash it
I'd advise to wipe dalvik-cache after flashing (just in case)
And better don't use modded Settings.apk, language picker can be accessed in Nook Color Tools.
Sorry, I didn't find a way to make modded Settings work in SetupWizard (oobe.apk in reality)
EDIT:
And better check if fonts support japanese
ahead of that.. I just wanted it to recognize Japanese characters.. only had to add ttf files into the fonts folder.
(oddly the stock reader doesn't do that.. meh, I didn't like it to begin with.. I'm using AIreader) but thanks though : )
This looks great! Thanks, @gen_scheisskopf. Due to this mod's being created, I'm now working on my own modified Settings.apk.

I'd suggest to take a look at dependencies, AFAIR settings.apk depends on B&N apks (this is most likely why my modified apk only FC-ed when booting system after a wipe)

Check. I've got the beta version of my Settings.apk working famously on my NTG - here's the project thread.
