Roboto font 'fi' ligature removal - Nexus 5X General

Hey,
Apologies if I make you unable to unsee what I am about to show you:

}
When I noticed this, it really bugged me: specifically how the dot of the 'i' is joined to the top of the 'f'. What was more annoying is that if the text was bold, ligature was removed.
I set out to root my phone and change the system font to something better. However, do not be fooled like me! Changing the system font is not an easy decision and even if you do change it, for some reason the lockscreen's time colon gets replaced by a square character.

In the end, I edited the roboto-regular font using FontForge for mac and removed the 'fi' ligature. Then using a rooted file explorer, I just replaced the originally with the updated one.
It initially crashes the phone, but upon restart: you can now rejoice in writing all those 'fi' words.
Please see my github for a README and the modified roboto-regular.ttf.
Cheers!

I had also removed 'fl', 'ffi', 'ffl' glyph's too.

Actually, that's a ffi ligature, not a fi one.

Ah! So true! I totally forgot I removed the similar ones too. Thanks. I have edited the post above and github to reflect the other glyphs removed. ('fi', 'fl', 'ffi', 'ffl')

WHAT'S UP!? what's it?
Windows Mobile notification inside my device looks different?
why?
did I missed something? or someone....
That looks nice. What's the link?

linked directly
I linked pictures directly, see pictures properties
@JGUI: He was probably asking for the link to the HTML page which originally embeds those images.

Saw that when I tried finding the Windows Mobile boot splash that had the progress bar on it a while ago. Ended up not finding that one, btw... if anybody knows where that went..
Why did you actually attach the same screenshot twice?
fixed, thanks for announce
I must say it looks very appealling to me. I wonder why they're there.. Should I try to create a today theme based on it?
i think, that it is just a fake of WM5 theme.
Look at the fonts and stuff.. positions of the soft buttons text..
hmm.. i don't know.

yih.. one of those "you *could* do this with customizations... (smallprint: if you want to spend a lot of time and money fighting our API and whatnot)
Notification bubbles are just HTML, so they could be real, but it would require access to the source code, so I imagine that bit is a Microsoft only level customisation. I've not investigated but I haven't seen any way of applying a user defiend template to notifications - but as each app is responsible for the look of its own notification, I'm doubtful.
That's not to say it's not possible to hack the system to intercept notifications and re-write them.

thank you
clean install Oxygen and theme, phone boot loop
Works for me, nice piece of work. Only problem is drop down is a few pixels shorter than the height of the screen, so wallpaper underneath can be seen - a very minor issue though.

I know it's been a long time since the last post on this thread but I have only just started using this theme.
The issue with the drop down bar is easily resolved by using a UOT footer. You do however lose the nice orange line from it.

[Help] framework-res XML editing problems

Hello there
I try to make a theme for the Rascream rom and i have some problems with XML editing and from what i see i'm not the only one with this problem.
I actually try to change colors of the text and a line in popup menu, but every time i recompile the framework-res apk with modified values, the statusbar and the lockscreen are deformated (look the screenshot)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I try to change the blue text and line in this screen to white...
Is here someone can help with this problem. This is the only thing i need to change for finish the theme. I try all i find over the internet, but without success.
No one?
Sometimes xml editing involves adding new lines to overlay others somewhere else. With ics ive noticed in arrays there are theme statements which change cursors, texts, and borders just from one change to the statement. Maybe check some source on the reboot options to narrow it down. Are you editing source or decompiling framework-res.apk?
But if i change any line i have everytime the same error.
I decompile the esisting framework-res.
Tnx for the help realy

How do I change the size of the battery and Wi-Fi icons?

Hey guys,
I'm on Jelly Bean for performance, but I'm trying to replicate the looks of Honeycomb the best I can. I just swapped out the Wi-Fi and battery icons but as you can see below, they're too small. I believe I would change the size settings for these icons in the following xml files, but I looked with PSPad and a hex editor, and I don't see any values to change.
systemui.apk - drawable.xml and layout-sw600dp.xml
and here is the pic:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Please help - I'm so close to being done with this!
Glad to see someone else likes the Honeycomb look. You might need to change the actual drawable for this, I don't think it has a value that can be edited.
Armada,
Thanks for the reply. So do you mean the entire folder?
I see in res:
/layout:
battery_low.xml
/drawable:
stat_sys_battery.xml
stat_sys_battery_charge.xml
stat_sys_battery_charge_min.xml
stat_sys_kb_battery.xml
stat_sys_kb_battery_charge.xml
but no reference to Wi-Fi. So maybe it is the whole folder...

Thanks to a suggestion by Sonny Sekhon, the problem has been fixed and I now have a fairly complete Honeycomb look on Jelly Bean! Since the images were too small, there was no need to edit any .xml but instead, I just multiplied the size of the drawables by 1.5x.
Thanks, Sonny!

[Q] Statusbar LG-E400

Hey guys, I need some help.
I edited my SystemUI.apk to remove the music widget and the carrier text for more notification space, But I have a problem now.
In the carrier area there was my clear button, and now it's gone. I want it back but diffrent, Hope you guys can help me!
This is how it looks like now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And this is how I want it:
Or can I make this button to clear the notifications?
Already Thanks!
DarrellDD
have a look at my SystemUI, it's themed similar to NatureUX's so it should answer your first question.
[EDIT]
Got it working now, and I know my problem.
Because I hide the old clear all button and not deleted it, It uses that one. By deleting it it uses the new one.
It works like a charm!
Thanks!
[EDIT]
I want that indeed, but I tried to copy it to my SystemUI.apk with no succes. The button appears, but has no functions. When clicking on it, the background changes but it doesn't clear the notifications. Also when I added the ids of the button apktool won't even build the apk because of errors. I have no idea how to implent it working. Hope you can help me.
Greeting,
DarrellDD
you don't have to add a new id. my example only move the button to notification header and add a custom image. the id (@id/clear_all_button) and all other elements remains the same.
I mean the drawable ids in the public.xml But I saw they automatticly added when building the apk. Thanks anyway! You really helped me editing my phone!
