[Q] Custom Weather Icons

I'm trying to use my own custom weather icons in zooper and as Marco said in the description of his zooper tutorial I put the .zip file of the icons in the "/sdcard/iconsets/" folder but when i try to change the iconset in the bitmap layout editing it doesn't show my custom weather icons.
Thanks in advance, any help is welcome.

If you upload your zip I can check it for any errors that might prevent it from showing up. Most times it's a simple problem with the XML or something similar

Here it is

Your zip is not set-up to work with Zooper. It's missing the vital XML file. Check out this tutorial on zooper.org on how to make icon sets work with Zooper. There is also a example zip so you can see how it should look to work with Zooper.
If you can't figure out how to make the XML work, I might be able to convert the icon set for Zooper over the weekend. But I can't promise anything.

Thanks

Can anyone w/ uccw knowledge help w/ zooper icons?
i have dozens of Uccw zips that i renamed to work w/ uccw. They where old Blackberry Berryweather zips and with uccw all you do is rename and it works. Uccw pulls the condition. I understand that Zooper needs the vital xml file but is that all. If a condition is named "thunderstorms.png" in a zip (for uccw) does it need to be different in zooper or does the xml file do the "work"? i have looking at the zooper.org info and the example file was emty or didnt download correctly or something. Really hope someone will see this that can help. thx!

Yes the config.xml file holds the coding so the actual file names for the graphics files can be anything as long as they are the same as what you have in the code. If you need help ... attach the zip and I'll see if I can get it to work.

you have to copy the font files from one phone to the other. your fonds are located in the zooper folder on your phone, inside the zooper folder there is a folder called fonts, look there.

[Q] Font pack change

Hi,
My question is related to P7, but there is no P7 thread so far, so I'm trying to get answer here.
My P7 model (P7-L00) is for Chinese market but I use it in Europe. Generally I have no problem with the phone, the ROM is multilanguage, and I could install the important Google apps too.
Only one thing is annoying: the stock Email app shows the sender's name with bigger, bold letters, but the font used for that contains some Chinese caracters instead of the accented European ones. Like this:
Erika Kov醕s (instead of Erika Kovács). The rest of the email text is OK, comes only with Latin letters.
I guess I should change the font pack in order to eliminate the Chinese letters. I tried it in the Themes/Customize sub-menu, but every theme has only one font pack: the default.
What can I do?

Up!
Nobody has an idea?
Or at least can someone suggest me for download an Emotion UI theme that comes with font pack? Installing that font pack might resolve my problem (althought I'm not sure -- but it's worth a try...)

You could try the following:
1. open the .hwt file using 7-zip
2. add folder called "fonts" and copy required fonts
3. copy the updated .hwt file in phone sd card under /HWThemes folder
4. try installing this theme.
Note: i have not tried it, you have to try this in your own risk
feedback if it works without any issue

finaly Solution

Can't store external resources or create APK ready!

Hello! First of all sorry for my english.
So I've just learned how to create my Zooper Widget APK Template. So when i modify and export template everything looks good except that i can't store external resources or create apk zip ready file, its not possible to check that options even if i can save template. If i save template and open it again there aint any fonts or bitmaps, its only simple widget with standard font. I did put 1 number in my eclipse strings.xml file so that everyone can reserve template. Ive also tried to set it on 0 but that only gave me a message that author is not allowed to save template. Anyone have idea what I'm missing here ?
Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

BUMP!

Never mind , I've figured out.

how?

How to manually install custom font

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.
