Very nice! 2 thumbs up!!

Hi, codekidX. So I tried to make a font on my own but ran into a problem. I followed your tutorial all the way to Step 4: Build app.
When I got here, after pressing "Build > Make Project", I don't get a "Gradle Invocation successful" message nor an apk for my font. Instead, I get a "Gradle build finished" and when I go into my "package > app > build" folder, I don't see an "apk" folder but "generated" and "intermediates."
Any clue on how to fix this? Thanks!
edit: I figured it out! Apparently, Make Project doesn't build APKs on the newest versions of Android Studio, so you have to build from command line. Here's the link to input the correct commands to build the APK.

Oh it wasn't an error at all, just a difference in versions apparently. Here's the discussion I found about Make Project and building apks.
Unfortunately, I got a package parsing error: "There is a problem parsing the package" when I tried to run the apk on my phone. Since this is past my own understanding in Android, I quit and just went ahead and installed the Android L font from your Project Sparky

parsing error because you might have not set minimum required sdk to 4.4 and target sdk 4.4

does writing regular or thin or condensed in fonts.xml make any difference??
for example I have a regular style font but i don't write regular in fonts.xml and just write the font name
for example in guide it says crayon-regular.ttf
but I don't write regular I just write crayon.ttf
will this make any difference??
and if I have a thin style font but I don't mention abc-thin.ttf and only write abc.ttf will it not display the font in thin style??
please explain
edit : here is one of my fonts.xml which i am using without any problems. and every pack that I made is in the same way i.e only font name and no suffix of regular/thin/condensed etc

Hello, I have explained it in the 2nd post. so you need to name it regular so that it replaces the regular font of the system
ie: Roboto-Regular.ttf inside android system

I am sorry but I don't understand the need to do so. I am not writing any suffix like thin/regular etc to the font name and they show up perfectly in the device.
do you mean by adding such suffixes the font adapts accordingly??
like let's say that there is a text
Heading
Sub Heading
Text
so if I include the thin,regular,light and condensed fonts the font will adapt the text accordingly
Heading (bold)
Sub heading (regular)
Text (light)
and if I don't add the thin,regular,light fonts then only the included font is applied everywhere??
I know this is confusing but please tell me why should we be adding a family set while a single font (as mentioned in the first post) was doing the job perfectly??

Can we add more fonts in one package?

@codekidX
Thanks for this. But I want to ask, I install my font, font on settings is changed, but not font in app drawer and battery circle font. Whats wrong with my project?

i did everything exactly how posted and when i launch the apk on the device and hit install it says app not installed :/

I have error build error. Will the version of android studio affects the development? If yes then I think you should update your guide with the least st version of Android studio. 0.8.0
Thanks

I think the version of Android studio is causing the issue; If you look at his video guide, he is on version 0.5.2 whiles most of us here reporting issues is either on 0.8.2 or above.

@ynkamat
Regarding the message bubble design you requested. In order tho have light text on a dark bubble requires decompiling/recompiling the Whattsapp apk and editing the xmls to change the text color. I have tried that in the past, but with little success .. as Whattsapp doestnt seem to be able to recompile properly with the conventional decompiling methods. That is why you will see most mods have only black text on lighter bubbles. Not so easy to do an inverse design.

@Yorzua
I am well aware of how to decompile and recompile apks.
The issue is with the Whattsapp apk recompiling after editing the Styles.xml within the res values folder. As many themers have found, there is an issue with recompiling WhatsApp apk after performing such edits. No one seems as yet able to successfully recompile the apk and alter the message bubble text color. You are doing well if you can change the text to inverse using ApkTool.
I myself prefer APK Manager than ApkTool as its command line structure is much better laid out and has more options.

@ Youzua
Are you able to change the black bubble text to white (within the speech bubbles)....?
The trouble lays in that part of the modifications.
I have yet to see anyone successfully recompile the Whatsapp.apk (myself included) and have the changes (black text to white) actually work after finalization.
Many have tried editing both the Style.xml and Color.xml.. but the it just don't take after recompiling. The person who cracks this is going to make everyone happy.

Thanks for the feedback, working for me and reported by others as working too.
Download and place the zip into your sd card
Uninstall your existing whatsapp app
Use Rootexplorer to drag the app into /data/app or /system/app
Set permissions to all by long press on the app to pop up the menu
reboot the phone and you will see your whatsapp application installed in the grid.
Do you still have place on /system ( internal memory ) ?
Do you have already a whatsapp apk in /data/app ? If yes, it will overwrite the one of /system.
Did you move the app to sd ? ( a2sd scripts or whatever )

[APP] BuildProp Editor/Viewer - community project [1.33] - for android [1.6 - 4.0.3]

XDA-community!
NEWS: The app is open source: https://github.com/daOwl/build.prop-editor
I want to share my latest application with you: BuildProp Editor
root and busybox required​
What is this tool used for?
This tool allows you to modify your build.prop file easily on your device. It makes editing easy and you don't have to take care about remounting stuff or read/write permissions. It also features descriptions which contain information about the property. A great tool for both: beginners and advanced users. It can be used to test a variety of properties on your device or even tweak it, but be warned: You've to know what you're doing! If the phone doesn't boot after a reboot, the initial backup of your device can be found at: /data/data/de.bwulfert.buildpropedit/build.prop
Why do you call it a community project?
Because I need your help. I want to create a documentation which contains every property and every meaning used by the android ecosystem. This is also my first real android project so instead of yelling the hell out of me, post some constructive feedback .
Descriptors / the motivation for developing this app / little details
I've created this application because, obviously, I want to edit my build.prop file in a easy, non adb push / maybe remount, way. So I've decided to create this application which does these steps for you (remounting, backup your file, etc.) - you just have to download & install it, getting prompt to create a backup of your current build.prop file (it's just button clicking, nothing else) and you are good to go son! Hint: You actually have to create an initial backup otherwise the application closes it self. I'll add a neat "view" or "read" mode later but for the security of all our phones I think its the best deal for now.
After working on it for a while I noticed the big range of properties a build.prop file could contain - and which my knowledge doesn't. So I decided to create these descriptors which consists of:
description - meaning of the property, what is it used for
recommended values - alpha numerical values - e.g.: 0,1 or 180, 190, 200, 210 or dd-mm-yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy
keyboard layouts - textual values - e.g.: NumBlock, CharacterInput or FileDialog (the FileDialog isn't implementet yet)
An example of an existing descriptor:
Code:
<PropertyDescription>
<KeyName>ro.com.android.dataroaming</KeyName>
<Description>Enables data-roaming by default in the build.</Description>
<KeyboardLayout>CharacterInput</KeyboardLayout>
<Values>
<Default>true</Default>
<Value>false</Value>
<Value>true</Value>
</Values>
</PropertyDescription>
Of course I'm not able to describe all the properties by myself so I've spend some time searching on the net and came up with an amount of 24 descriptions. This isn't that much but a good start. Thats the point where I need help from anybody who's interested: If you want to contribute to this little project, you can contact me and sending me your descriptors (which are just plain-text xml files) - I'll merge them into the project. You can also help by translate this application into your language (english is still welcome, I am german) or donate a small amount.

For questions or chats, here are my contacts. You're also welcome to follow me on twitter.

TODO
This project isn't finished in detail. Everything should work exquisit and fine but this are the steps I'm still thinking about:
Batchmode - adding little text snippets which consists of properties to your build.prop file. (Great for lazy people like me)
A (web) application to make it easier to contribute descriptions
Preferences - I got a lot of feedback for these, I'll add these in the next update

First time I run your app, it asked permission and of course i allowed it.
But your app show this message
"No root access is given!...."
that's strange cause my X10 using Wolfbreak with prerooted. And app like Titanium, ScreenshotER, etc works perfectly.
Maybe you can help me what should I do?

Hey xda!
Today I've released the new version of my tool. The update contains a complete UI redesign in a lite/silver grey style. I've also worked on the ShellCommunication to increase the compatibility with other roms (works well on cm7 and MIUI).
Nevertheless I've uploaded my descriptionbundle. If you want to add a description you can take a look into the file. You can also look at the scheme.

Hello XDA,
another great Update of my build.prop editor. Thats the biggest update for now and I think, that this app isn't in beta anymore.
Version 1.2
Added viewmode (for unrooted phones)
Added HC and ICS compatibility
Added an introduction
Increased usability
Fixed some typos
Screenshots
My next step will be a batchmode. You can create a single text file which includes properties. These files can be integrated into the build.prop file. This allows to share stacks of properties for example helping somebody with a problematic build.prop. This also allows to share sets of tweaks for users, without to overwrite their own file. It should be selectable which property is going to be overwritten and which not.

Thank you sir! I've still got a bit to do but it's pretty functional and tested for now.
I also want everybody on the board here to ask if someone wants to create a proper icon for this app? I'm not really great on this (simple icons are okay but proper stuff is not my job). So, if somebody is interested, please contact me. The one who'll design an pretty icon for me gets marked in the credits
This tool looks awesome. Can't wait to see it get developed more.
oh yeah nice tool rated and thanked!

Hi, i'd said i would be posting each week or so but i had to come back to cm 10 because of bluetooth support and didn't want to post any patch if i could not test it myself first. But now that jcsullins came back with a bluetooth enabled rom (yeaaah!!) ill be posting the table ui patches for 4.2.2.
Patch for jcsullins cm-10.1-20130804-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-BLUETOOTH_TEST :
update-cm-tenderloin-20130611-tabletUI.zip to enable tablet UI flash this
restore-cm-tenderloin-20130611.zip to go back to the stock UI flash this
nice ! thanks for this
Although I haven't tested it on the Touchpad, I've tested it on several other tablets running CM10.1 and the Tabletizer app should also work if anyone is interested. However, the other tablets I work on require a special signing key, so when I used it on those tablets I signed the zip manually. I don't know how signing zips works on the Touchpad.\
Anyway, thanks for this and for the future updates, I totally agree about the layout and I think TabletUI is a much better use of space as well.

I tried tabletizer first and it didnt work for me when i ran the app , so i didnt look further to try to make it work (maybe it was just a little thing) because i found the other thread and it worked fine for me.
I tried to run the update patch without any luck.
Update: it worked once I was able to download the complete copy.

quick tip, if you tap the app switcher button it'll bring back the top bar if it was hidden by the app

Hi everyone,
One of the most annoying things i found when i switched to cm10.1 was the new ui layout. i didnt like to lose that space on top when there is enough space on the bottom bar, i didnt like having notifications on one side and quick settings on the other . It was annoying when i wanted to set the brightness of the screen because there is no slider, and in some apps when the top bar is hidden you cannot change brightness without leaving the app. So i used this tool i found here in xda ( auto-patcher thanks to all devs in there!) to create a update.zip that brings tablet UI back!
For those who want to try it, its very easy it only takes one command to build a flashable zip. You have to put the rom in the same folder you extracted the auto-patcher and run this:
Code:
./auto_patcher cm-10.1-20130604-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin.zip tabletUI cm
Anyways I recommend you take a look on the auto-patcher thread if you decide to download it.
And for those that do not want to get their hands dirty ill be posting an update here every week or when there will be some mayor update, so you just have to download and flash it in cwm.
This one is for the 2013-06-04 nightly:
update.zip to enable tablet UI flash this
recover.zip to go back to the stock UI flash this

I tried to do it on my touchpad and it says permission denied. I have set the permission and everything properly. I wonder what I am doing wrong here.

Nevermind. I got it working. Ran the GUI version on the win7 desktop and I got two files.

Thats weird...check in your pc if you can open the zip file...if you can't its because that was a wrong download (its hosted on dropbox so thats possible). Try downloading it again.

Install it as a normal zip, not as a update one . In CWM chose the zip file and install it, but before doing this wipe cache partition and dalvik . Happy Flashing !
yay a proper tablet UI
Anyone else notice that the Battery Percentage setting is broken when using the autopatched status bar? As in, it no longer shows a percentage unless you select Circle w/ Percentage mode... the normal Percentage mode just shows the battery bar with no percent.
I'm running the latest July 23 nightly of CM 10.1. Will this mod still work with that?

OK, for future reference, do NOT flash this mod on newer nightlies. I just tried it on the July 24 build and CM wouldn't boot past the spinning ring screen...

You have to use to AutoPatcher (linked at the beginning of the thread) to create a flashable update for your specific nightly.
Sometimes that can work for multiple versions after, but as soon as the wrong thing changes upstream, you'll have issues.

Interesting, when I flashed the OP's zip it said that AutoPatcher was running. I guess I'll try again...

Maybe some other time.
I am going to improve this tool (debugging, new features...) .
After finishing that job, I will think about the android version ( converting codes to android is a tougher job anyway ).
I will tell you when I am ready to develop the Android version.
So please subscribe this thread to get feature releases. :good:

Sorry, I could not find such a problem.
* Make sure you're not using a lollipop based stock (since lollipop & marshmallow is not supported by the tool for de odexing). I will add them in the future release .
* Make sure you copy the whole framework folder in 5-De_Odex folder .
Path maybe like Extreme ApkTool/5-De_Odex/framework/ framework files(jars&apk)
I hope this might solve your problem. In case this is not solving your problem , feel free to contact me
