Add fonts to widget?

I am trying to add fonts to the clockq widget. I've never done anything like this before and it isn't working, so I am hoping for some help here.
I tried going to the apk for clockq under data/app and renaming it to a zip file, then extracting it. At that point in the assets folder there is a fonts folder. So I figured I would just paste in a bunch of fonts, rezip the whole thing and rename it to .apk
Didn't work. Broke the app. Had to re-download from the market.
Anyone able to tell me what I did wrong? Please

Pretty sure that would involve decompiling, adding your fonts, modifying several .xml files, then adding your changes to resources.arsc before re-compiling, signing and installing.

Woah.
way over my head, thank you. I might've tried to figure it out if it just involved signing or something, but even that would've required more help.
Oh well.

Unfortunately doesn't effect the widget font. Wouldn't necessarily want the same font there anyway.
@ubuntunerd: I am always interested in learning more. Isn't that what I was doing already though? (Change .apk to .zip, unzip, fiddle around, rezip, change from .zip to .apk)

I'd use apk manager. Search for it here on xda. Great tool.

Can't hurt to try. I'll let y'all know if it works.

OK, I don't know if I am missing something but that doesn't seem to do anything that the phone's installer doesn't already do.
What is the point of that app if all it does is install/uninstall apks?

[Q] AOSP status bar icons?

I'm looking for the status bar icons that come with vanilla Gingerbread. Like the ones in CM.
Also, would like to know where I should copy them to.

I tried looking inside the CM7 zip, but couldn't find anything that looked familiar.
Anyone knows if it can be extracted somehow from the CM7 ROM and be used with the stock rom?

Yes, theyre in system/systemui.apk
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Thanks! Found it. It's actually: system/app/systemui.apk
The folder structure is obviously different from the stock rom. Anyone have an idea how I replace the existing icons?

Use 7zip to open the apk and replace them in system/res folder i think it is
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

There is no res folder inside "system". There's a res folder in the root, but there's only one file called "encryption"

Is it in framework/res?

The one he wants its in systemui.. Look in the res/hdpi or so folder
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I've found it. I tried modifying the stock SystemUI.apk by replacing the icons in it with the ones from the CM7 rom. I then replaced the original SystemUI.apk with the modified one using Root Explorer, but by doing it the SystemUI process force closed leaving me with no status bar. It remained without status bar even after reboot.
So I guess this is not as easy as it seemed to be. I don't want to mess around with the root folder anymore, so if anyone has a flashable zip that can replace the status bar with AOSP icons I would greatly appreciate it!

Really easy to do, next time change the permissions then you wont get FC but if you have the odex version of the update heres the link to get the icons. Its by mikeyinid towards the bottom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20377172

The numbers are in framework-res.apk inside of the res/drawable-hdpi folders. The images that your looking for are towards the bottom but there really noticeable. U just need something like PhotoShop or Gimp to change the color from white to whatever u want. I'm on my way home from work so if u need more help than that let me know and I'll do my best. I no longer have a pc but I'll do my best to walk u through it.

Thanks Tiff, I have Photoshop on my PC so I'm going to give it a try on my own, if I get stuck I'll drop you a line. I guess I can use root explorer to access the files. Maybe I can put of Graphic Design skills to work and learn something in the process. Hopefully I can post some progress and help someone else out.

I recommend using 7-zip. It's a developer and themers best friend.

Never heard of that but 7zip is for your pc. It's like win-rar but way better imo and free.

Got it, looking at tutorials on how to use. I guess i'll be "unpacking" files, copy file to 7zip, modify, save as a zipfile and then install with CWM?

It doesn't have the color in the name. They are just images so you'll have to use the image editing software of choice to change the color. If u open the drawable-hdpi folder on your PC you'll be able to see all the images inside. What I do is use 7zip to decompile/extract the apk. Then I make my changes. Then I highlight the full apk that hasn't been extracted, right click it, go up to 7zip on the menu that pops up and when u click on 7zip another folder will pop up. Choose “open archive“, I believe that's what its called. Then a folder will open up and you'll be able to see everything inside of the apk just like if u were looking at it when it was extracted. Double click on the Res folder, then highlight the drawable-hdpi and click delete. Now go get the drawable-hdpi folder that has the changes u made and drag it inside of the window that u just deleted from. Now just click the x to close that window and the apk will still be intact but it will have all the changes u made. Drop it in a flashable zip, boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and flash. If your not sure about the flashable zip let me know and I'll see if I can put it together from my phone for u. Hopefully that made a little bit of sense to u. If not let me know and I'll try and do a better job explaining it.

So I would start by making a copy of the drawable-hdpi in /res / folder in framework-res apk and opening it up in 7Zip on my PC. Finding the png's pertaining to the clock zzz_unlock_clock_3_.png for example, export into photoshop change color, then replace original png's with new colored ones. Do I make sence.

The good thing about the lockscreen clock images is, you don't have to decompile them to edit them. Also, (if youre feeling savvy) you can decompile framework-res.apk, then go to framework-res.apk/res/layout and edit the color codes in "zzz_keyguard_screen_clock_gb.xml" and "zzz_keyguard_screen_glasslockinfo.xml" to make the lockscreen text match the clock. You can use Google to find color codes.

Ok, cool. You're good to go on modding lockscreen clock images. Didn't know if you were on an ICS ROM, or not.

This is making my brain hurt. 7Zip works great with Adobe CS5,it imports into Adobe Bridge and it displays all the images associated with the files, makes for quick editing in Photoshop. Having trouble finding clock fonts, that display date on lock screen. Clock part was easy, numbers, colens.

Use some kind of apk manager or 7zip to edit the file. Go to mipmap-hdpi and replace/change the icon in their. There can sometimes be multiple icons in that folder. Also, some apps have the icon in drwable-hdpi called icon.PNG or ic_launcher_(name of app)

I've been trying to figure this out myself. I want a based 4.0.4 stock rom with the skyrocket icons. and The 4G icon as well. But when I changed the framework-apk it doesnt work. I dont know if im doing it right or not but would be nice if some one could make a flashable zip with these icons for all of the stock 4.0.4 based roms

Of course there could be, im editing the wrong icon.. i would think to change the phone icon i would edit phone.apk but maybe that my mistake thinking i know what i'm doing...

You'd be surprised lol. Open in a zip viewer, find draw able hdpi, make a folder on desktop and copy the images to it, make sure you don't change their names at all, edit to your desire, drop back where you found them inside the zip, (don't extract the zip, just take out what you need and put back), file, save, then put the apk back on your phone.
Experiment with it. That's how I learned the basics of theming. I made a theme back on the evo although I needed help.

Thanks. I won't have time till Wednesday maybe. These 70 hour weeks are a pain
