thanks guys i really found another solution for the problem. the problem was that i wanted to change the font in the latest rom of the Darkside 4.0 to the default android font so i just replaced the font folder form version 3.3 into version 4.0 then i reflashed it and yaaaaaaaaay worked .

Thanks bro that program is amazing i will keep it forever

Is changing the font a particularly invasive procedure?
I run CM 7.1 Stable and tried using ROM Toolbox to change fonts over the weekend and things got all kinds of screwy. After testing the first few fonts I started having massive force close issues with various programs. Then I ended up boot looping and had to reinstall my saved ROM backup to get things working again.
Are there different qualities in font managers out there?
Is there a way to use ROM Toolbox wrong?

Messaging box color

Hey,
Just picked up this phone came from a Note 2.
Anyways i cant find any settings to get the messaging box where all the texts are from everyone to be black. its white/gray and it looks ugly with my swiftkey thanks
Cedric

Hey bud, I'm guessing you want to change the color of the bubbles? Go to the main text screen (shows all your active texts) and hit the menu button on your phone. From there you'll be able to access settings and change a few things.
EDIT= Just realized what you were talking about. I hate it too! I have everything on my phone dark and that's the only screen that's white. I'm not sure if you can change it.

Mines black by default? See my screenshot below.
But someone over in the theming section remade the apk, I think you can just install it, might have to replace the old one I'm not sure since mines black and I don't need it.

Ahh it's going to drive me crazy. And I don't want to root it.

Try this modded apk from the themes section. I believe you can just install it without needing to root

How? No idea, I've got the Rogers S4 up in Canada so maybe its our firmware? My SMS/MMS contacts and dialer are all black by default, wait till you have an unlocked boot loader and maybe flash our ROM? There's also no lag

If anybody wants to try to use my default SMS /MMS here's a link to a zip with both the apk and odex files you'll need to copy into yours system / apps folder
**THIS IS NOT A FLASHABLE ZIP**
**YOU MUST EXTRACT MANUALLY AND PUSH MANUALLY**
Side note : you make be able to simple side load the apk as normal but I'm not sure. Report back if you'd like
I can also do contacts / dialer as well
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xuepksbhn22lla4/SecMMS.zip

Might be interested in the contacts apk....first going to see if I can get the MMS to at&t to work

Hey buddy I would love for you to help us out. I'm not rooted so I'm not sure if it matters. I extracted the file into the System Application folder. I can click on the APK but after trying to install it, it says cannot install application. Help!

i9500, i9505 Theme insall to Sprint S4

I saw this theme in the i9500, i9505 theme forum and thought it looked good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271332
I tried to flash it to a couple Touchwiz Roms on my sprint s4 but it wouldn't boot afterwards. I searched the thread and saw someone try it on the Verizon s4 without any luck as well. Does anyone know if it's difficult to get this to work on the Sprint s4? If its not difficult can anyone hook me up? I have no idea what all would be involved in doing so.
Thanks!

Yeah, I tried Reverpats theme and the Blu Kuban rom. Those were nice but I liked the gray and softer blue of the discreet blue theme I linked to a little better. Thought I'd throw it out there to see if it was simple to make it compatible for our devices.

You can try swapping out the "update-binary" and "updater-script" from Reverpats theme with the one in Discreet Blue. You'll need to use win-rar or 7zip to access the zip and then the META-INF folder to get to these.

Thanks for your help.
I gave this a shot. It flashed and let the phone boot but nothing changed. When I first tried to flash the discreet blue theme, the phone wouldn't boot after flashing.

Color in hd theme from the tmobile s4 works on our phone only problem I had was the wifi Wouldnt shut off right away which I fixed by simply flashing a kernal stock or agat after the theme then everything works perfect.

Any luck with permission to port this theme? Just curious if you've heard anything.

How do i set the permission 644?
I did all the things but still no emoji.
I get the keyboard but can't se the emoji. blank spaces... :silly:
Edit: got root browser and changed the settings to 644. But no Emoji.
Cant see them on the phone but when i send them people can see them.

I have a solution for this. But I can't post it... odd!

Thanks in advance

Sorry mate… don’t think so… you see, you have to get access to the system folder i order to copy and alter the files. But if you figure out a way to do that without root… then good for you mate. Good luck… :good:

How do i change my fonts from the standard installed fonts ? I have font installer but every time you choose the required font and reboot the font never changes?
Anyone else had any luck ?

I use Font Installer on my VZW G2, and it works fine. Using the Comic font as we speak. Not sure why you're having issues with it. Using rooted Clean Rom if it matters.
