While taking the GlamourS4-rom for a test spin i found this font among the included. It was love at first sight and i decided i just had to share it.
But since i currently am using the SentinelROM i have no way of testing the APK. I have flashed the font on my phone instead.
Using APK-tool to decompile the APK i found the line "<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="15" />" in AndroidManifest.xml which i removed. I have no clue how APKs work, but i hope that by removing that line it will work on the 4.1.2-firmware. That line has not shown up in the other FlipFonts i have messed with.
So, please give it a testrun on stockroms. Should it not work like this i will gladly put it through the treatment i have used to make my other fonts.
@Curst works on stock 4.1.2 galaxy s2

I posted this in one of the Ninjamorph tutorial threads but it is basically dead so posting it here.
Trying to mod all the notifications icons using Ninjamorph. This is what I did:
Replaced all of the notification pngs with different ones of the same name. This worked however the radio, 3G, & GPS are still the same as before. It did change the Wifi, battery, & bluetooth. I've also looked in the framework/drawable-res.apk for the original ones still showing up and can't find them. All of the drawable-hdpi\stat_sys_xxx.png have been replaced with the new. Why in the world do the old on some still show up?
Does anyone know where these might be located? Also, do I have to modify an xml somewhere to get all of them changed?
Thanks.
Ok...thought I had found the answer to this but not quite. Figured out the 3G and radio are in htcresources.apk but still can't find the GPS pngs. I may just be overlooking something but can someone point me to their location so they can be themed?
Thanks.
Got screen shots ?
Sound sweet I want to learn how to theme with ninjamorph as well

are you running a rom or something cause then ones ur trying to change might be in a different spot from the ones your changing
How I did it
There can be two reasons why your changes are not reflecting:
1.
While navigating through the /system/framework folder I realized that there was another .apk file in the folder. Just check if there are any other .apk in the same folder as framework-res.apk that might contain the images.
2.
Are the images that you are trying to replace ending with .9.png? The 9.png format is different from the normal png and needs to be compiled before it can be used. I will post the link to thread as soon as i find it.

Ok i tried a couple of themes for swype and every time i try.. it deletes swype or it no longer a option to use in settings.. im wondering is there any theme for swype for the Tmobile g2
Where did you get these 'themes' from? I don't think you can apply an external theme to swype. It has to be part of the .apk which is a bit more in depth than just changing a picture. Doing it that way will cause nothing but FC's all day and you'll pull your hair out. You have to edit every .png that will have the theme changes not to mention the .xml files which there are plenty of. Theming swype is not a light project for most people.
I've never seen a custom swype theme for the G2/Desire Z so whatever you applied probably ran into errors while installing so it was aborted. Since the first thing that happens when you install an app is the old one is deleted - that's the only thing you got accomplished. Do you have a backup of your swype.apk?
Lol well i know all that stuff
first i tried to edit the apk, and resigned.. (i setup my sdk and sigin tool) and after i tried to push it in with libswypeCO and i went to look to enable it in settings and wasnt there i look in my system app and it shows its in there just the OS doesnt see it (dunno)
then i tried metamorph and same thing again..
so was asking if anyone had or had success in doing so and im guessing not.. Lol guess ill take the time to theme it myself... if any have success plz post or heads up on it
Well maybe I'll throw myself back into this one. I just don't have much free time between college and work but I'll see what I can do. Themed swype would be great - it's just something you couldn't share on here because it's not open like Android is.

If your device is rooted put the above file under system/app
go to live wallpapers and select mywater
Do not try to install the apk it will not work, you have to move it into the system/app folder.
Here is a signed version, haven't tried it but should work for non rooted users. Just install the apk.

When I try and download it it says down load not supported by phone, could you let me know what I am doing wrong, thankyou
I'm not a dev or professional themer, just a wannabe...lol
I'd like to theme (I know about the tutorials and I know how to search), I'm just can't seem to get apks to compile without getting an error. I'm using apk manager. Decompiles fine, edit xlm etc, compile, get error. I was able to make it work when I was on the vibrant, framework and everything.
Not sure how to use dependencies....(help on how to set up?... I know how to edit .9pngs along with other stuff. But for the life of me I can't f'ing compile. And that results in nothing. Maybe one of the many talented people in here could help. TIA

Since updating to 4.3 I can't use my old fonts anymore which I installed from .apk. My favorite Roboto Small for example. Only the annoying apps with their sub par fonts seem to work. Solutions?
Also, seems that due to the larger font less words fit on a single line, but to the point there's only 7 words average showing.
Those font apks won't work any more in >=4.3 android.
Use Rom Toolbox instead.

I figured something like that. However my phone isn't rooted and wanting to keep it that way. Ideas?

If you want to keep your phone unrooted, you will be very limited.
