Hey everyone!
I've been building the latest 2.1 for Flame/ZTE Open C and I can't get the fonts to render correctly:
(clickable)
I do have Fira Sans installed on my machine (OSX), are there any extra steps that I need to take during config or build?
Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
I'm not allowed to post links as I do not have enough posts here, but if you go to the Developer Phone Guide on MDN for the Flame about halfway down the page you will set "Flame Font Fix". You should find a link to a download and script to run that will add some new fonts and hopefully fix your issue as it did for me.

so here we go, i proudly present: the VillainROM Kitchen!
i wrote this up completely from scratch, so please be gentle when it isn't perfect at the beginning :roll:
also we were not able to test every rom combination, as there are millions of different roms possible...
please note the faq link on the lower right side. if any questions arise pleask them here, i will update the faq from time to time.
final note: i'd like to emphasize that i created this kitchen myself, and it was a buttload of work. however i did NOT create the rom or any of the apps or modifications that come with it (with the exception of minor fixes or changes). nathan is and will be the rom developer/maintainer, and there are other parts created by other people, for example the themes. i don't want to start a long list of thanks and credits, and i take care not to include warez. there are several other reasons why something should or should not be included in the kitchen, so if you feel that your app is used here without permission or credit please contact me. also let me know if you'd like to contribute, be it in form of a simple bootscreen or a great app...
you find the kitchen at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/kitchen/ or in the rom section of the villainrom board.
now have fun with the kitchen!
Hi for all noobs/about to donate folk can you let us know exactly what a kitchen is please.
you can select options you want to include, for example apps or themes. then our kitchen will create the rom for you, you download and flash it. no need to figure out what adb is and how to remove or add stuff to the rom. check the link, it should be self explanatory!
also you can create a keyboard layout config file if you are using villain5.2 or other roms with the hacked keyboard from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
the keyboard layout feature is free to all members of villainrom.co.uk btw.
So I've found myself re-installing the Syndicate ROM several times in the last few days. Been fooling with things a lot, getting edumacated. My question is, I would like to include the Syndicate theme add-on (with battery %) in the ROM to begin with. In other words, I don't want to have to flash the stock Syndicate ROM, and then have to flash the theme separately.
I unzipped both the stock ROM and the theme and it seems to me all I would have to do for this to work is just write over the applicable stock ROM files with the ones from the add-on theme, re-zip the files, put on SD card, etc.
Would this work?
Also, if I wanted to remove say the ES File Explorer from the stock ROM and maybe replace the YouTube app with 1.6.19 and then re-zip, etc. Would that work as well?
this is reposted from jairomeo in nexus forums but this helped get me started:
[THEME] The Ultimate Android Themeing Guide - Updated 4/26
Since we know information for creating themes is spread out all over the place and sometimes hard to follow and understand, I have started compiling a guide using the information spread throughout XDA and other forums. Hopefully this can become a Sticky
I've sent this out to a few new themers and such and they have found the parts that are complete very helpful.
Initially I wanted to wait until it was complete before posting it anywhere, but I've hit a wall on being able to put my thoughts together. I am kind of busy and stressed out with work, therefore I am putting up this way users can review and other themers and maybe start compiling some of the missing information. I also hope for non themers to give feedback or post questions and ideas can be added and maybe get my creative juices flowing again.
The guide is a collaboration of information from many themers/users. I am making sure to provide credit for all individuals writings. I am writing it in word, but posted it in Google Docs to all can view.
If you are going to link to this, please link back to this thread and not the document, this way we can keep the conversation in one spot and work together as a community, to have a document that isn't tool and utility based, but one that teaches people how to edit themselves, and teach with potential of finding more things we can control.
I will update the copy on Google Docs until it's completion.

I was developing with Android 1.5 api and I published an app to the market.
However , one of my friends told me that he can't find my app on the market.
His phone is running Android 2.2 and having a QVGA Screen.
I tried with an emulator running Android 1.6 QVGA and the same problem was noticed.
I tried to google for the solution and it seems that I don't have correct keywords to specify the problem.
I know I can use supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" , but not for 1.5
Do I need to develop with 1.6 api to support all kind of screens? Or do I just need to include some more at the manifest?
Sorry for my poor English.
I can see no one answered my question, is it because I am reading with a QVGA screen?(Joking)
Please Help.
You need to build the project against the 1.6 API (you can do it in a way that is compatible with 1.5) to support various screen sizes with supports-screen.
The whole process consists of right clicking your project in eclipse, changing the API to build against, adding proper values to the manifest and exporting the app.
It's pretty well explained on the android developers page, but if you can't get it working, I'll post a step by step guide once I get to my laptop (later this day).

I just found out that I can use 1.6API and support 1.5 after reading your reply.
Thank you , you helped alot!
It will collect useful information for developers.
This theme will help us to work together and to finally workable firmware for our animal.
We kindly request all the people who will be able to find a device with a processor with us and with the support of two simkart inform us
here are the results of our work
I say in Russian user, but my goal - to attract users to develop firmware
already made several firmware versions
they were later executed and lay out the themes
If you like my work - please do not forget to say thanks!
In the course of communication will complement the topic.

can ask for help in other subjects firmware devices, owners of which you were

the same problem with port Leva ....
Need deodeks stock firmware files from the \ system \ framework
attempt № ...
So, what should be done next?
deodeks the \ system \ framework
this deodeksom run any of custom assemblies
deodeks will be used to launch a network of cyanogen
how? Step 1
through any deodeksator deodeksatsiyu do with API 10 - will necessarily be an error!
note on what files they are
the files that go with errors - remake with API 9
this deodeksom run any of custom assemblies
If that fails - Step 2
through any deodeksator deodeksatsiyu do withAPIs 9
this deodeksom run any of custom assemblies
this algorithm deodeksa other devaysakh with android 2.3. * and port drivers
put the logs of the work done for the analysis!
and if successful, run any custom firmware files with deodeksirovannymi - in enclosure attached archive folder deodeksirovannoy
Go for it! our success!

Nahim2k7-update
Hello Friends,
I have just been introduced to android libraries and have checked out a lot of them. But I have no idea how to use them in my android app.
So can someone post a guide on how to Search, Download, and integrate them in our android project. As I have searched on internet and got to know that we have to put the jar in lib folder, and use the particular classes, but can someone guide how to do the same and how to use them in out layout to give cool effects to our app.
Thanks
In the layout you need to put the full name of the class (including the package):
Code:
<com.example.test.MyButton
... />
You have already answered the question how to integrate them.
For search this is the best starting point: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226547
Second is Google.
