maybe this is out of my league...
but is it pretty much as easy as extracting the images, changing there colours (maybe using photoshop??) and then re packaging and updating my hero?
if its not too much harder could someone point me towards a guide, or if im smack on, lead me to the apk i have to extract? theres no "sense" apk and i did not find any images in the rosie apk!
i would really appreciate this, thanks in advance
im jus using winrar to extract the apk's, so far i have found alot of the images but i havnt come across any that id like to change
edit #2
ok so i was looking through and have started to figure out how they sorted all there files... but i was wondering if there was like universal png's somewhere? cuz it seems like every apk has its own black bar at the top (for the pull down tray)
maybe this is in the wrong forum?
try looking in the themes thread, i am sure I saw a guide to creating themes somewhere...
take a look at the Dream/Magic/Sapphire boards there are several threads about this

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
Every time I pull down my notification screen on my HTC Desire I see this ugly "US Cellular" at the top. I've looked in settings and didn't find anything. I have also looked around, but my search terms are a bit too ambiguous to find what I am looking for. Is there anyway to change that to something more tasteful, or am I out of luck?
Thanks for any help
I'm not entirely sure, but I think you can change this using theme kitchen, google uot kitchen ( it won't let me post links)
All the instructions are there, it looks quite straightforward though I haven't tried to remove the carrier myself.

I've tried that with uot and all it did for me was put whatever I wrote in uot on top of my carrier name.

Hi everybody,
i m trying to find a tutorial to create a wallpaper like the attachments?!
Someone can help me?
Let me know if you find out how to, i like the look of this also!
It's not a wallpaper. It's made using the apps mentioned underneath "rounded tiles".
I'll see if I can put this together.
EDIT - I just checked on YouTube and found this tutorial for you

i m not looking for a tutorial to configure my homescreen.

Hi everybody!
I'm making my first multi-launcher theme, and actually trying to create my apk.
I saw a UI that perfectly fits with my expectations and that is used in a lot of themes apps. A lot of different developers use it so, i think it's a pre-created template or something like that.
Sadly, i don't manage to find it anywhere, searching with google search per picture, per words, on xda, etc...
So, does anyone know where it can be found or if it's not a pre-created UI (see attached file)?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Are you referring to the Cards UI?
If so, that is super easy to implement.
Download this 9png and set it as the background of the view for which you want the Card style : http://db.tt/q7xTkXaX
Then, add an 8dip padding on all sides
That's it!
