Changing themes on Windows Mobile is not easy, it involves replacing many of the Manila files in the HTC TouchFLO/Sense interface. If you browse around the Themes subforum, you will find some theme CABs or other methods to replace parts of the themes (icons, sliders, etc.). Or you can find custom ROMs which have a theme (or variety of themes) to your liking. But flashing a custom ROM is a whole other discussion . . .

Can someone please post a mirror on mediafire?

Nice one, thanks.
Can't download it.
Download can not be started.
The server returned with error Please stop flooding our download servers..
This is usually a temporary problem and can be solved by retrying the same URL at a later time or by becoming a RapidPro-user.
Do you want to upgrade to RapidPro?
I like new fonts but too bad it won't download...
Sent from a Bell I9000m running Froyo.
Keep trying from time to time, I managed to download it after 4 or 5 attempts.
Can't try them, as I'm still waiting for the phone.
Nice one. I prefer segoe, zegoe and century gothic. I have problem with FC on settings when I install helvetica font, but i like those 3 so not really a problem.

Hi, I have now done as you explained - tried first to install "Old English" - worked like a charm, so I just worked my way down the list and installed all the apk files.
THen I went to settings -> Display -> Font.
IT CHRASHED
"The program SETTINGS (proces com.android.settings) has quitted unexpectedly - try again!" and then Force Close
It happens all the time.
Now I have deleted the whole font folder on my external sd card, and then tried to go back to change the font to one of the 3 build in fonts, but same error message appears....
What now....?
Do I have to reset phone back to factory default or...?
Running 2.2 JPA, not rooted, normal rom.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Assuming the current font is working fine.
Press and hold menu
Open task manager
Click Package tab
Scroll to font package that is bad/the one you installed when setting started to crash.
Uninstall.
Praise Samsung for giving us another way to uninstall apps.
DOH!!!
So easy, why didn't I think of that?!
Thank you so much, my friend.
Just strange that it happened to me and another one out of possible thousands of others...but well, ja I guess someone's gotta be the one who ends up in the ally of error...
Then I'll just install one font apk at the time and then see if its something for me, and if not - uninstall and install another one.
Not gonna install all apk at the same time again...

Whats the solution for those that have installed all?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Solution:
I did it the hard way - installed one font at the time, went to display settings and see if I could see the font in Fonts menu right after installation.
It took a while, but now all 31 fonts are installed, and I can see all the fonts beatifully!
The BAD FONT is the one called HELVETICA NEUE 57 CO... Don't install that one!
IF you have installed all - do like user "aditya_t90" describes 3 replies above this:
Press and hold menu
Open task manager
Click Package tab
Scroll to font package that is bad/the one you installed when setting started to crash
HELVETICA NEUE 57 CO...
Uninstall.

hi, really love your font 'brush' but is there any way of enlarging it slightly cos it seemed to compressed and hard to read.
the fonts are really beautiful though..
I'm getting the FC problem with just installing com.monotype.android.Segoe.apk.
I'm on Insanity 0.5.3 (JS3), SuperOptimized Kernel 4.7.3, international i9000 (spain). Any ideas? Maybe it's a different framework since 2.2.1?
Here is a collection of fonts from pauldiddy. OP is here.
I've also included Black Chancery Font - took me quite a while to find this in an installable apk file. The collection from pauldiddy are all apk's as well. Just extract onto your device in a folder, or email the ones you want to yourself from your pc and then install from GMail. I've only attached the Black Chancery apk to this post - for the collection, go to pauldiddy's thread.
Just a side-note here. That flipfont thread I linked in the OP also has a great tutorial in the 2nd post, that will guide you through making your own font apks from otf or ttf fonts. there are also many many many fonts throughout the thread that may not be on the collection in the first post - take some time to go through it and see if there are any others you like. You can also put in requests for fonts if you dont see what you like. Just attach the otf or ttf file to your request post and then be patient as pauldiddy is also taking classes and is often busy with his studies.

Hi Mercedes.
Unfortunately no, it isn't. The theme designer you've linked is outdated (2012).
Now they call it "Theme Service" and you must apply and be accepted to start using theirs web based designing tool:
http://developer.samsung.com/theme-service
Master @pas2001 is one of the few fortunates that had already been accepted by Samsung.
Nevertheless, this is no limitation to honorables like @bobster0203, @Venom0642 and @ted77usa that are already ruling the field despite Samsung wishes :victory:
You may follow their work here.
Be welcome to the simple mortals family. :cyclops:
Nice regards.

It's not "so" ... so ... I may suggest you an alternate approach as below:
(Note: it's not a "state of art" as others but it's mine and I can submit it to you)
a) Download my S6 theme package (signature link)
b) Download my KATKit set of tools (signature link)
c) Decompile the Theme Package (with the tools)
d) Play with the Theme. Learn. Talk. Shout. This is a development/sharing forum. We are all here for this purpose only.
e) Recompile YOUR OWN Theme Package (with the tools)
f) Share it with the community
g) Be Xtremely Welcome

Hi KnifeCat
Yes, it's possible.
Coding knowledge is desirable but not mandatory. Design skills are placed just between desirable and mandatory.
Only will is mandatory.
There are a lot of stuff regarding your needs that has been already discussed during the development of the AllBacksBlack S6 that you probably will consider very useful. Please take your time to read the thread.
The above development used a tool set named KAT Kit that, as you will see, is already set up to work with Samsung Theme Engine. Again, read the thread that there are lots of needed knowledge spread there.
Be welcome to post further questions onto appropriate thread.
Nice regards.

Hello all...
I have a rooted M9 with ViperOne installed, recently upgraded from v4.3.0 to v6.2.0. I'm seeing a few minor but annoying bugs. One of which is the inability to download fonts from HTC. Whenever I go into the edit theme section in the personalization settings, I get a network error message. There are only four fonts available. One under HTC fonts and three under "other fonts".
With ViperOne 4.3.0 installed, I was able to set a custom font that worked perfectly. It's been at least six years so I can't remember how I came by this method, but on 4.3.0, I was able to paste a "com.htc.theme" folder in /data/media/0/Android/data/com.htc.launcher/files/LocalTheme/. I only know this because I have a copy of this folder and a text file with instructions on what to do with it saved on my SD card. I tried doing that on this version of ViperOne and even after a reboot, nothing changes and the font is not a visible option in theme editing.
I've been searching for a solution for the last few days and nothing that I have found works. I've read in more than one post that there is a way to flash fonts from recovery but any links to files or instructions have been broken or they don't match my file structure.
I'd be grateful for any tips or suggestions. Thank you.
If you have root access, You can easy get into /root/system/fonts and can change any font with ROBOTO ones. Remember to change that font name to Roboto-Regular and all other Roboto font family. This should work.
Hope it helps!

Greetings ai.Sanaul...
Yeah, that works but it's very cumbersome. There's at least eight variants of Roboto that I would need find equivalent .ttf versions of to duplicate. Finding a full font family like that without paying $100+ for it is very difficult. On ViperOne 4.3.0, the theme folder that I used only had one .ttf file and somehow, the system adapted it to the required style (ie: bold, italic, etc.) seamlessly across the board including third-party apps.
Thank you very much for your suggestion. I may end up doing that in the end but I was hoping for a method that's a little more plug-and-play.
{Mod edit: Quoted post has been deleted. Oswald Boelcke}
Unfortunately, this method does nothing. The fonts that show up in personalization must be must be kept in another directory because adding font files to system/fonts doesn't add them to the fonts menu.
There are 147 .ttf files in system/fonts, yet only three options are available in theme editing. See attached.
Ok... I figured it out... kinda.
I used root explorer to find the XinGothic font. It showed up in system/fonts but it was also found as an apk in system/app/Font_XinGothic. So, I created a new folder in the same format and placed the apk of my font there. I then rebooted and checked font settings and where XinGothic was before now says "HTC Theme Font". I selected that and my custom font was applied. So far, it seems to be evenly implemented across the entire device.

That's a great program. I tried it many years ago and had a lot of fun with it, but not enough to justify the hefty price tag.
Small update...
After unpacking the apk from my theme, I was able to edit the XML so that instead of reading "HTC Theme Font" the display name matches the font name. Easy enough from a PC that I might just create my own collection.
