After hearing that the desire doesn't support metamorph I want to know, how would you apply a theme to the desire without metamorph? AFAIK metamorph only replaces updated files, like the png's that we change in a theme. So can a similar thing be achieved in recovery? Or is the only solution to get a rom, copy the theme over, and then flash? I only ask because I want to test nexus themes on desire (vanilla).
Thanks you for any answers.
P.S. This forum rocks socks!
I was just going to post the same question
What a coincidence
You will have to manually edit framework-res.apk and sign it...

push it to device using adb
Oh, so if I released a theme, which modifies every apk known to google, I would manually have to push every apk to the phone? could I do something like cp /system/* /system/
would that work?
If you want to publish it, update.zip is the way to go. You need to create file structure indentical to one you want to flash into a rom, write a script and sign it.
You can find more about it in the general android section...
Cool, thanks.
Hey guys, i've noticed that on the FlyX ROM asian languages are not displayed as the language but just as boxes. I was wondering if there is an .apk that can load asian languages on, specifically korean and japanese. This is not for input! this is so I can actually read it. Any suggestions? Thanks
there is no apk that i am aware of. You will need to download the a new font file and manually place it in your SYSTEM/FONTS directory. The file your looking for is DroidSansFallback.ttf
I believe i got mine at googles font library.
not to sound stupid or anything but how do i do that? I have seen other posts that use the terminal emulator but for some reason when I do it it does not load. Do you know of the link where you got it from the google library? thank you
anyone know?
I think you don't have root
after u root your droidx ,u can use rootexplorer to replace the font files
i did this one week ago

and you can find the right font files in the old update.zip file,just unzip it ,then search *.ttf~

I used the steps mentioned here to install the fonts.
Both the ttf files are 7zipped and attached in the post.
Thank you! Installing now....
Arre mast yaar! Trying it out now!
Badluck here. After copying both files and restarting, phone was booted with default font.
lai bhari.............. but is that your own screen shot??...
anyways a great news
Just out of curiosity, in what specific countries is this type of writing used? Is this what we in Norway would call "Arabian" writing?
Sorry if I seem ignorant, but I am eager to learn.

Punjabi font hega? Im downloading now thank you soo much bhai

I got around to trying it. Here is my input:
It works, but there are a few caveats:
1. Hindi fonts are displayed, but not properly. The font file(s) provided only supports basic devnagri fonts and not "joined" characters. For example it cannot properly display the word हिन्दी, because न and द are joined. Instead, they are separate characters.
2. Latin characters and spaces have become bigger. If you have app names, menu items, calendar items that are more than one line, the the second line gets cut off.
3. Make a backup of your original font files! You will most likely want to revert back because of 1 and 2
I want to read Hindi websites using the browser on my i9003 (different from i9000), will this font change from English language to Hindi completely all the menu text etc?, I don't want that just need the browser ability to render & read Hindi websites.
I am using Samsung GTI-9003 and whenever i am trying to paste the hindi fonts in to the system> fonts, it is not getting paste...
even i have try to delete the old fonts and try to paste the new,but it is rejecting...any help?

Yea, you can try it. But please note point 3 in my previous post. It does NOT change the regional language. It just gives the phone and programs ability to display devnagri fonts.
Or an easier option since you are only interested in browser capability is to use Opera for Android. Search around on google and you will see how enable devnagri support. But this is only for Opera, and not system wide.

You need to mount the partition in r/w mode. This requires root and an appropriate file manager such as File Expert.
easy way to read devnagari fonts
I used:
1. mangal.ttf from my windows machin XP/7
2. remaned mangal.ttf to DroidSansFallback.ttf
3. backup /system/fonts/DroidSansFallback.ttf
4. replace DroidSansFallback.ttf with the new DroidSansFallback.ttf (renamed mangal.ttf) using ES file explorer
5. Reboot

Ranjan,
Thanks for reporting this I will try your method & see if it works, what fw are you using?
try indian version of gingerbread DDJV9 released by samsung few days back through kies in india.Hindi fonts are working great
I changed almost watches in the WatcWidget apk.
Includes Hungarian, Italian, Russian languages too.
You can install the zip files as the ROM file.
Copy this apk file in the Total Commander to "\system\app directory ( need 7.4 version ADB plugin ) :fingers-crossed:
If not recognized the windows your watch, first enable the USB debug : go Settings >About and tap 5x on the "Model number" ,and install the ADB Driver for SmartQ Zwatch
My results are :cyclops::
- Update.zip works with some ROMS only (not from 3.3 version) I don't know why, tried it many times. Use it your RISK only.
- You can copy the apk file into the ROM with TotalCom. just the ROM is if rooted !!! There are rooted ROM-s here and 4PDA forum here (use chrome and automatic translater , need registration )
- You can copy the watcwidget.apk into the ROM before you want to install it (rooted and unrooted )
I changed the varied background watch face. The longer subtitles fit already, as the "thunderstorms"
If I helped you, don't forget the thanks button!:good:
These look good

I love it! But in spanish the weather watchface isn't good
Can you compile it for me with this translation? Only changed any weather text to fit in 2 lines and not in 3.

These. Are. Awesome. Great work!
I like these... But one question. Would it be possible to change the font size for the English version, as well? "scattered thunderstorms" doesn't quite fit, just a tiny bit too big. Good work! The default watchfaces for this watch are kinda the worst on the market

I try to replace the WatchWidget.apk (system\app) but i have the next error:

Maybe need the root if you want to replace the WatchWidget.apk file, one more need switch on the "USB debugging".
There are some rooted ROM already (Maja's DJ ROM on the XDA, and more on the Russian forum (4PDA) )

Which version ROM do you use? (I'm sure it works from 3.0 to 3.5 version ) and not need root .
Sometimes after update doesn't start normaly the watch. I think try again.

It's very simple.
Use totalcommander and a picture editor( photoshop ,photofiltre studio , etc)
Not decompile the "WatchWidget.apk" , just open it in totalcommander and copied from the
"\WatchWidget.apk\res\drawable-mdpi\ " directory the png files to an empty directory. If modified those copy into back the apk (overwrite).
Important: set the value in the TC configuration >Zip packer >Internal Zip compression >other =0 !
If compression bigger than zero, then the apk file will not work!!! : :crying:

You're welcome
As title suggests. I had saved some fonts apks that worked on my s7 edge when I was on nougat. Now, I just checked today after transferring them from my pc that after upgrading to oreo those previously working fonts are also giving the error that fonts are not supported, contact developer/supplier etc etc.
What is this samsung really? You are taking the basic right to customize our device for which we paid quite $$$. Samsung is making a basic free thing like a font like a paid subscription. This is the dumbest idea ever that could be from samsung.
So I request any expert member to guide if there's anyway (even a paid one) to install new fonts on oreo btu release ? Any way like substratum / wings etc?
I am not in any way requesting a paid thing ( which samsung is continually changing everything from free to paid ), I am just asking a way to install fonts. I guess if water is sold in these times then paid fonts is a little thing. I fear in future we had to pay for even taking pics from camera or using bluetooth file transfers ...

Thanks for suggestion bro, I am sorry if I had done something against the rules, but I didn't meant that way.
Anyways I found a solution myself, if anyone wants to get fonts, they need to follow this guide :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/fonts-wings-samsung-fonts-1200-root-t3710688
Install fonts apk, then enable that package overlay using adb commands written in that thread. The only downside is after reboot you can't choose fonts anymore and had to delete font package and then reboot, install package again, reboot, use adb and then you can choose fonts again until reboot..

Yes, the manually installed fonts don't work after the Oreo update. I wish there was a minimal font pack with less than 100 clean fonts like the one you mentioned. 1200 fonts are an overkill and most of them are large and/or look weird. I ended up uninstalling the package.

There is no method currently working for installing and applying only desired fonts on unrooted S7 edge on oreo as far my knowledge.. the only other method apart from which I posted above is by theme galaxy app.. search in playstore for "theme galaxy".. you can search your favorite fonts in that app and make font package and then include it in your theme when compiling it.. and you can apply the fonts.. but this feature is only for the paid users ..
