Changing system font?

Hi there
Is there any way to change the system default font to any of our choice. The ones which show in the menu etc.?

yes,you can use every font in ttf file format.just rename it to "DroidSans" and to "DroidSans-Bold" and replace the corresponding files in system/fonts using rootexplorer or just create an update.zip containing the renamed fonts in the corresponding folder structure.

Wow, thank you so much paul! This was easy, and works like a gem.. just rebooted, looks wonderful. Thank you my friend

but flipfonts only replace DroidSans (default font) and not the default bold one (DroidSans-Bold) shown in the lockscreen (clock),in the keypad when entering pin,in the title bars,etc..

Not sure if they came with Darkys rom ir not but under Setting-Display-Font Style I can choose any one of about 40 fonts. And they change all phone fonts including lockscreen, notications etc.
Edit: You are correct pauldiddy. Although most fonts change the bold ones don't.

Yes, that's just because Darky packed a bunch of fonts into the ROM.

How? Extracting then replacing the icons? The question is that I changed the icons they are there but no changes, only in recent apps.

there are many techniques to install icons
1. If you want to install icons then download the icon pack by abhirockz and replace the icons in it with the ones you want
2. There is a software named as "apk edit" which allows you to change the name and icon of the desired apk.
Any more probs? PM me

I've tried, but how can i read the icons file?? Cause it has no extensions, it is only a document called icons, and there's no way to read it. I've tried with Notepad++, but nothing... What do u think?

[Q]Changin System App Icon

Hi i wanted to change my system app icon and i tried with just 3/4 apps as a beggining, SemcConversation, Contact, Camera, SemcPhone and Google play.
I had problem with these last two:
-Google play is called PhoneSky.apk and i changed the "ic_launcher_play_store_promo.png" in these 3 folders(drawable-xhdpi, drawable-hdpi, drawable-mdpi) with the pic i wanted as an icon. i installed the .apk flashing a zip(with other apps i edited) and the other's icon are changed but this one is still the same. Am i missing something?
-SemcPhone i opened the drawable-hdpi folder and i looked for the .png file with the current icon, but i didnt find any. Like if the png icon file doesnt exist. Which one should i change?

Custom Icons

The stock home launcher supports different icons. Long press on an icon and touch the paint brush to choose a icon or use custom.

look for icon packs on xda or google play
if its an apk, you can extract it, and use the individual .png file icons

Most icon packs say they are for certain launchers. How would we go about extracting them for use on a stock phone?

Apk is basically a zip file just extract. I think ypu can use 7zip or zarchive on android.
