Font Changing - Possible? - Hero CDMA General

Hello everyone, I have a Sprint HTC Hero rooted with DC 2.08.1 installed on it. I would like to change my system font to Coconut (from WebOS) but I don't know the exact steps I would take. I found the application called Type Fresh but I don't know if it is recommended. Can I get the steps for a Mac (if ADB is needed) and or what tools or apps you used.
Thanks everyone!

What is it that you are trying to install
i am trying to install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759990
it is a theme and it comes on the HyperDROID ROM so i know it works on the HD2
may i ask you reedit the title [HOWTO] -> [Q]
I think we cannot do it yet with our hd2s...You can only change the theme now by installing framework.apk. but I think getting the framework.apk from that zip directly won't work either...tried that before.

You should see if the theme is metamorph capable!
metamorph?
Its an app that allows you to add themes with out flashing. The themes just have to be compatible

[Q] Anyone want to make me a custom ROM?

I have tried searhing and I havent found anything like this, so I hope im not in trouble for asking...
Has anyone made or would like to make a custom sense rom with just a few extra apps?
The main reason I am asking is because you cannot access a file manager by downloading from windows to you sd card (you have no option to either download from Andriod Market or using the sync, which doesnt work for me)
Basically I looking for a ROM that is exactly like HTC Sense but has a file manager and a few other apps by default...
Like the ultra bright torch app and the you tube and Iplayer app.
You can alsways use roms that are already out there, but you usually loose the widgets the come with the stock HTC Sense, plus I miss the facebook streams.
Anyways, the main app it need installed is the superuser app and a good (free) file manager, anyone wish to help or comment?
Also, my phone is rooted with the HBoot 001 version, and I have heard roumours that if you upgrade to 2.2.2 then you can no longer root your phone, and since i am getting into hacking and rooting the widfire, I really dont want to loose the functions!
I hope this will start a healthy thread, as most of my threads dont!
Thanks, Keith
you can sideload apps from windows to your phone using sideloader machine for example
- If you are on HBoot 1.01.0001, you already are on Android 2.2.1 (There is no 2.2.2). While official 2.2.1 was not rootable some months back, after the release of AlphaRev / Revolutionary, it is possible.
- Apps can be installed via ADB also. One such guide is here:
http://voxigee.wordpress.com/2010/02/28/using-adb-to-install-applications/
And a Video Tutorial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27HIDvjdUFM
- Also, Stock Froyo ROM with Superuser can be found here: (Get the Rooted Version). After you install this, you can install the File Manager using the guides above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
- Lastly, for such a simplistic ROM Creations, you can use the DSIXDA Kitchen to cook a ROM yourself. Its easy, and you can add and remove exactly what you want.

Good Luck
dude dont you like sense based custom rom. they are much like stock. but with most of the features of custom rom are embeded. there are also hacked ruu( rooted) availabe.

Natwest App now available but I can't download it

Hi guys
I am using a HTC Desire HD and I can not find the application in the market place.
So i've checked android market on my PC, I can see the natwest app but it is telling me that my device is not compatible. Any ideas?
Can I get hold of the APK from my brothers phone who is able to download it fine on his Galaxy S2?
Thanks!
It looks pretty cool. I need to save money so it would be good to have something to constantly remind me of how poor I am. I'm in Japan so I wouldn't be able to use it or install it from here.
I'm curious if you can install the APK and get it running. Root Explorer (File Manager) is the type of app which will easily find it probably in the data/app folder.
Seeing as it's a free app, if you can get the apk please pm me. I'd like to try it too just out of curiosity.
Have you modified your LCD density in your build.prop? Try changing it back to 240 then install from the market.
Hi Guys,
I have the exact same problem. Running Desire HD with AR 6.1.3. I am having problems downloading this app and a few others. I have tried the following with no luck.
- Changed LCD Density to 160 and cleared market data and cache
- Changed LCD Density to 240 and cleared market data and cache
- Used LCD Resolution to set the density instead of Rom Toolkit and repeated the steps above.
I am currently using market version 3.1.6 but have tried downgrading to market 3.1.5 but this did not help, also tried all of the above combinations whilst resetting the google services framework with no luck. (told this may help)
I do not understand the checks that the market / google perform on each device to determine compatibility but would it be possible they are checking for root via the SU command - maybe this was a condition of natwest being a secure app? (I have heard they have done this with google video)
This is the only app that I really need, and cant find an apk!
Thanks for any help!

True, but I wouldn't suggest installing a Banking app from anywhere other than the Android Market.
@alex-qts - Did you reboot between making the changes? AFAIK the only what the market would know if you had root was if it requested root, and you accepted it. I could be wrong.

I rebooted after every screen change, but each time I go to install I get the same yellow incompatibility bar and no download button. Strange thing is - I was also having this same issue for the autotrader app, and the LCD density / clear cache trick has worked for that app, but not the natwest? strange.

I had exactly this problem and also wanted to install this only from the Market.
I have had success by following these instructions to change the build fingerprint to something that is supported. I use ARHD 6.1.3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18147141&postcount=53120
If it works then credit to wjsturgis3.
It contains the following edit to build.prop which fixes the market issue. The existing ro.build.fingerprint line is replaced with the following:
# Switch fingerprint when there is a US release of 2.3.5
# Original
# ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.5/GRJ90/150597.1:user/release-keys
# Modified for better Market access
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.3/GRI40/87995:user/release-keys
Rebooted and I was then able to download directly from the Market and have just passed security and it's working a treat.

That includes the fingerprint fix but I wouldn't use it as it also has some other items which you may not want, such as Advanced Power Menu.
To do it yourself - You need to be rooted, take a nandroid backup, and then take a copy of the original build.prop file found in /system/ - then just edit the original using ES File Explorer and the built in ES Note Editor to include the new fingerprint line:-
ro.build.fingerprint=htc_wwe/htc_ace/ace:2.3.3/GRI40/87995:user/release-keys
AND put a # symbol at the beginning of the old ro.build.fingerprint line to comment it out. Still useful for future reference.
Reboot and it should work, but just for completeness, I also cleared the data from the Market in Settings>Applications.
Hope this helps,
John
thanks guys I can confirm that editing the build.prop file works! I now have the natwest app!
I simply used the following command to copy the build.prop file onto my computer, then edited and copied back to system folder using root explorer (renamed old build.prop that was in the system root)
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
Sorry if my instructions are not great, but it was my first time editing the build.prop file.
Thanks Again!

Heres the link
I am using BlackIce and had to change the DPI back to default before I could download the app, but in the past i have managed quite adequatley using the natwest website which I believe has greater functionality over the app, anyway will give it a go once I have cleared security
Thanks for the link. It's telling me my phone isn't compatible?
I've not changed my DPI settings, but how can I check the settings in case the ROM has changed it? (I'm running ARHD 6.1.2)

Thankyou for the fix. Didn't even know they'd released an app till this thread and then to find I wasn't compatible. At least I already knew how to fix it.
Will hit thanks when I get home.

open build.prop (/system/build.prop), with a suitable text editor and you shuld find a line similar to below
ro.sf.lcd_density=200
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If that reads anything other than 240 your DPI has been changed.
Many thanks for the help, mine says 240.
What does it actually mean? Is it the resolution? Is it noticeable if I set it to 200, and will everything else still work ok?

The post above you has a fix in his signature that is this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42181794&postcount=75 give that a try.
You won't be able to install TWRP until you install a 2nd bootloader. Once you do that, you flash the ROM from there.
