Hi there,
I am partially sighted and I would like to have all system fons on my legend scalable. Especially in the Maps app the fonts (street names, ...) are so small that it is competely unusable for me. I tried spare parts, but it does not work. Just increases the size once inside the app an has no effent to the rest of the system.
I guess even rooting would not help because there is still no system partition access. I also tried font change program and type fresh, but they do not work or crash (font change prog). Does anybody know another way to increase the system font size?
Thanks in advance,

Hello Everybody,
I rooted my phone yesterday. In Recovery-Mode there is access to the system partition. In normal use of the phone not. So none of the apps to change the font size can work (as I suspected). But I think there must be a configuration file where the overall resolution or font size con be changed. Dows anybody know the path and the name of the file(s) which need to be changed? And does anybody already know recommended values?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
last week I contacted i-p-tel, the company who sells Font Size (for root users) on Android Market. I asked them to tell me, which file in the system path needs or which files need to be edited to achieve a larger font exposition. I am not quite sure if they will answer, because of their commercial interests, but maybe they will begin to sell an alternative version, which could be applied in recovery mode. This would be great.
Have a nice day.
D\
No answer from i-p-tel yet. And they will not answer, I'm afraid .
Bye
\D
Good effort on trying...!
If anyone, it will be the devs/chefs that will be able to help I think ...Good Luck .
changing font size in spare parts doesn't work
Changing font size in spare parts should handle the task at hand, but it doesn't work. As soon as you leave the spare part menus the fonts are still the same.

This is possibly because writing to system/ is not permitted (legend is not fully rooted). Are you using system overlay? If not, try it, could make a difference. If you're on a Cyanogenmod, simply flash aufs_no_kernel.zip, and in recovery mode run 'system/xbin/aufs --enable' after mounting system in adb shell. Search the development thread for this.
EDIT: this is just a theory, I presume the fonts handling is in /system/. I'm not sure thou.
EDIT2: to clearify, system overlay will give you access to edit the system partition - in other words - apps can do changes there.
Sounds complicated I have a rooted HTC Desire, could you please direct me to the proper thread for my machine.
Do you know Maybe one can somehow run Spare Parts in a Super User mode?

Desire is fully rooted (I presume your device is S-Off), so system partition is writeable (no need for system overlay). So any app than can change the fonts should do it.

Hi guys
I have O2 XDA Atom.
I have Install atom_hiddenpartition.cab to unlock 16MB on flash rom and delete files than on that.
when I hard reset my ppc that speed has down (1/4 my previous speed) in boot windows and programs on windows.
I want to unlock Hidden Partition but I can't do this.
Can you help me to unlock Hidden Partition and recover my files on this?
(my rom is 20060426B1WWE and files in hidden partition is Informobility Arabic and Hijri Calender, Camera's templates,...)
sorry for bad english.
bro u can refer to this link. it might help u. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=267305
GAH. Do NOT delete the stuff in there. Trust me. I don't care if you need space. DO NOT TOUCH THE FILES IN HIDDEN STORAGE.
It's your ExtROM, and all links to it are hardcoded. This isn't like the Magician Bigstorage, where the links are recoded; Your PPC is tons slower because it's trying to find stuff that doesn't exist anymore. Like, say, your configs.
If you want those back, you have to reflash your device. No choice.

Reflash!?
that mean download the 20060426B1WWE ROM from seeo2.com and setup (install) this on my device?
Yeah, that's the only way to solve the problem - even uninstalling that reveal hidden partition hack doesn't work all the time. I should know, I went through a device with an extROM that mysteriously disappears if I ever tinker around with the hidden partition too much.
After install atom_hiddenpartition.cab , I do not anything in that. But , i see that the system lost about 2MB RAM (i don't know for what!). How to hide this partition again and bring back my 2MB RAM ?!

I've had that problem also. It got very slow. I tought it was something else I might have done, so I hard Reseted my device and never used the program since(because I don't use the HTC Home plugin - I just wanted to try the program).
yeah guys it make my prophet very slow
any solution can we do it ?
Hi there,
Thanks for this great app! But anyone has problems with running HTC Audio Manager in WM5? It doesn't work on my Prophet. It gives me the known 'trusted certificate' message when I try to run it. Please help
My prophet also got VERY slow! I recognized that the home plugin customizer placed about 200-300 files in windows/ (HH_....)
i think this is the reason for slow performance!
I can't understand why some programs place their files in /windows instead of this the files coulb be saved in Windows/HH_home_plugin .... or something like that.
If someone is able to do that,pleaso DO IT!!!
I considered to delete the files in /windows but i dont wanted to delete any of the "origin" home plugin files
sorry for my horrible english
Hey,
I'm the author of the customizer and I'd like to hammer out the slowness issue. The only thing I can think of is that the files are installed to a different location on your prophet (from ROM install) than the customizer is checking for. Could someone please let me know when the files are found on the device with the default plugin? I would like to fix this for the next version which is just about done.
Thanks,

From what i've been able to find out, the slow down happens because when the program applies a skin, or just a part of it(it doesn't really matter if it's all or just a part), the files in windows folder are replaced, but as they are ROM files, the replacing of the files doesn't really overwrite them, and being so, the list of files becomes longer and longer, and that causes the PPC to slow down.
So, in my opinion, the solution starts by not having the plugin included in the rom(correct me if i'm saying nonsenses), and maybe putting it in the extrom, and making the installation go to a differente folder.

I agree, a different folder would completely resolve this issue. For instance, schen's cab installs almost everything (except HTC HDlg.exe,HTC HDlg.0409.mui, and HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml) to \HTCHome. How easy/hard would it be for the cookers to change that and is it worth changing to get better "compatiblity" with the customizer?

hi again
what I tryed to do in my V4 & 5 of prophet touch roms was to move the images to HTC folder with intflashfile.txt like this
Directory("\HTC\Home"):-File("HH_BEZEL_fill.png","\Windows\HH_BEZEL_fill.png")
but that only made a copy of the original file so I had 2 copies of the same image...
1 in HTC folder and 1 in windows folder, but what I wanted to do is move the files to HTC folder
so if anyone knows how I could do it properly I'd be verry happy,
because it would make the rom faster and would also make this customiser program even more affective.

Saving themes should not affect your device. When you save a custom theme, all the customizer does is save the name you gave it in an "ini" file in the customizer's FILES directory. Now applying a theme is a different story as that's when it's copying files to your device.
Could you or someone else test this out a little more? I'd like to release v0.8 today but if this is indeed the issue, I'd like to fix it before release.
first i am mistake about saving theme ..... i was wanted to say make backup not saving theme

There are more and more themes coming up for WM 6.5 Titanium, which are not only tsk, colors etc, but also change greatly the Titanium....x......cpr file and the registries. When one wants to change from one such theme (for example WM7 project) to another (for example Shadow Neo Skin) the former theme has to be removed, and the new one has to be installed and customized, sometimes the plugins have to be reinstalled.
The theme switcher has the following capabilities:
- Backing up the existing theme, grafics files, cpr files, registries, so that it can easily be restored
- Installing the new selected theme
New beta release:
Supported resolutions QVGA, WQVGA, QVGAsquare, VGA, WVGA, VGAsquare... It only works with WM 6.5. You need to have MortScript installed.
IMPORTANT: First of all this will be replacing your Titanium cprs and bronzeres.dll files, so pls. make a backup of your original files.
Installation:
1. Unzip the enclosed file TitaniumThemes to Storage Card.
2. Have all the plugins installed that you want to have in your Titanium screen, so that
the themes can load them.
3. It is not necessary to install all themes, as i have collected all images needed by the
theme and stored them in folders inside the TitaniumThemes folder, so the images will not
clutter your Windows folder. The modded cprs point to this images. Below you find the
links to the corresponding themes threads, so that you can check out how the theme
looks, and say thanks to the theme designer for his nice work.
4. Run the "Install Titanium Theme Changer.mscr" from the apps folder in TitaniumThemes,
choose your resolution and click ok, this will install all supported themes cprs in Windows
and a shortcut for "Titanium Theme Changer. mscr" in Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
5. Run the shortcut "Titanium Theme Changer", select the theme you want to apply and in
a few seconds it will appear on your screen.
6. Apply the tsk of your choice
As said it is a beta version and it might have still some bugs, or errors in the cprs, as i only have a QVGA device, pls. report them.
I could have not done this without the help of many people, like BigDaddyG, RoryB and egoist6 from the MortScript thread, TWolf, drkfngthdraglrd and many more, so thanks to all.
Also please consider that i in no way designed the themes, i only modified the cprs for easy switching, so all thanks go to the themes builders.
Most of the plugins are supported in my cprs, like
All standard plugins
TWolf Multiplugin

I am working on such a theme switcher, done in MortScript. I have a folder named TitaniumThemes on my Storage Card. Inside there i have a folder backup where i save the current theme (Titanium_XXXxXXX.cpr (both P and L), bronzeres.dll and CHome registry). I have also a folder for each of the themes, currently WM7, TitaniumBuffed, TitaniumShadowNeo, Bliss, BlackDragon, where i stored the same files for the theme tweaked and set up to my liking. All themes have first to be installed, as some of them store in Windows some files like icons etc, or they create a folder under Program Files with those files. I tried first manually to swap this files and it work very nicely. Now i am trying to make Scripts to do this work, but i am a complete noob in scripting and have following problems:
1. I need to disable Windows Default to be able to copy bronzeres.dll to Windows, and i dont know the command for it.
2. I need to read and save the whole CHome registry (export) and also to import the themes CHome registry. This should be doable with MortScript but i found only how to import/export single keys and dwords in the manual.
3. At the end i have to enable again Windows Default.
When i could solve this points i would have a simple script based program to backup/restore the current theme, and to switch themes choosing from a menu.
you should be able to replace bronzeres.dll without the need to disable titanium. In order to refresh titanium after changing the theme you can use chomerefresh.exe provided by appstar. PM me If I can be of any help

In fact that was my first approach, to copy the files to windows and then refresh chome, but it is not working. Even when copying manually the files with total commander, i can do that for both titanium cpr files, but as soon as bronzeres is copied an error message comes up. So it looks like bronzeres needs titanium to be disabled before copying, when i disable titanium manually the script copies everything correctly to windows. So i have to find the command to disable/enable titanium.
On the other hand i have still problems to find the way to backup/restore the complete chome registry. I tried also to look inside the Sashimi script to find out how it is done there, but i am too much of a noob and could not figure it out (too many subroutines pointing from one to the other).
I had thought about doing this before but with a more ambitous approach that would have required theme makers to include an .xml file together with their theme. this .xml would include a list of all of the theme files and their destination directory, since not all themes are the same, some people replace bronzeres.dll and some others don't, so it's hard to tell unless you have a list of what to apply and what to remove.
Disabling titanium, as far as my research has gone, it's not possible with mortscript alone. These are lower-level system functions that can be found on C++, just like chomerefresh.exe which is also built on C++. Getting more complex as we dig deeper into it.
but, I still have faith in being able to replace the .dll without disabling windows default first, have you tried using mortscript's file attribute change to change the .dll's attribute from read-only to normal file before copying. I still do believe we'll need to standardize themes.

It is possible to disable and enable titanium with mortscript, it is just a registry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/Windows Default, set Enabled to 0, then RedrawToday. The same to enable it, only set to 1.
I posted my scripts like they are now in the post below, asking for help to make them work, in the Mortscript examples thread. It still does not work to
replace bronzeres.dll, but i will look into your suggestion to change the attributes to normal before copying. The strange thing is that when i do everything manually with total commander with the titanium disabled it works flawlessly. On the other hand you are completely right, the themes are not standardized, but normally, with all the themes installed before, so that all the needed files are there, and then by replacing the above mentioned files it works. Thanks a lot for your help.

First try for an alpha version of the Titanium Theme Switcher. Download from the first post.
Hey claus - I only want to say how much I appreciate your work! It's really hard - especially to save everything, that nothing will be destroyed.
For bronzeres.dll - you must find a way to unload this .dll for changing - I'm not sure, if Mortscript can do it. If you need help - please tell me.
But perhaps you need no unload...this little needful thing could help, which I append
I use them very often by shortcut in StartMenu - especially "disable all" to switch off all todays and "EnableTitanium" - because I'm to lazy to go to my Home-Settings... (please comment iPhoneToday-Lines, if you don't have it - or make a check to Registry-Key, if it's exists)
Some questions:
- When can we expect a VGA-Version?
- Do you have a more technical implemention description how it works?
- What's the problem with cabbing? Perhaps I can help you
Thanx 4 all

Hi Micha
Thanks for your offer. In fact it took me some time to sort this out. Now it is working as i apply bronzeres.dll with a cab, so i don't need to disable Titanium. At the end i refresh Titanium so everything gets updated. The idea is later to avoid swapping out bronzeres.dll, when all theme builders make their themes without changing bronzeres.
A VGA version should not be difficult the only problem i have is that i only have a QVGA device. The cprs i have included are the themes cprs for QVGA, complemented with most of the plugins and some modded by me to get support for the plugins. I am still working on some icons and layouts. If someone with a VGA device has cprs for this themes filled with all the most used plugins i would be very grateful to receive them so i could put together a set for VGA. The same also for other resolutions. This shall be a theme switcher, so i am not interested for skins which can be changed by applying the corresponding tsk.
The way the theme switcher works is very very simple, and it works with Mortscript:
The themes must be installed first, all of them. Then we copy into windows the cprs for all this themes, Titanium_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Neo_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Lizzy_240x320 and 320x240.cpr etc etc.
By calling the themes menu mscr the menu pops up with all available options:
Save the current theme: This backs up the currenty active Titanium cprs and bronzeres.dll, so that one can revert back to what he had.
The next buttons are for applying any of the themes. This is done by inserting in the ExtensibilityXML registry the name of the cpr to be used, without touching the rest of the information in this registry, that means your personal plugin setup (active plugins and their order) stays the same. Then the corresponding bronzeres.dll is loaded by cab and when available the themes tsk is applied. At the end Titanium is refreshed and the theme has been changed.
As said this is still a bit rudimentary and i will with the time make it smoother and apply some cosmetics to make it look better.
The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:
1. installs all the themes,
2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
I almost thought, that you're doing i like that... it's not rudimentary - it's a very good way Perhaps a little bit to complicated for some things (why not using ExtensibilityXML to approve only Plugins, which works with the skin). Thanx for explanation.
But one thing... I don't know if you assume this will be in future, that's noboy would change the bronzeres.dll - I think not all developers will know this way - and there will be much more edits in future of other Titanium-Files perhaps - I would save it and have a look, that it would work with and without Bronzeres. Save the differences of each installation to the original theme - and you mustn't care for such things (I know - that's very rudimentary - but how do you say in english: If the mountain won't come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain )
I will have a look for my VGA-cpr - at the moment I haven't very much installed.
To your problems:
The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:
1. installs all the themes,
What's the problem there? The themes are all installed by cab - so alltogether should also be installed like cab - Perhaps - I don't now - you must only cascade the .cabs in Installation - with between "saving" - that could work
2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,
*g* For this case you asked in the other thread. In this case... make an installer after installation (I think you have JMLToday ( *link*), too? - you know what appears after Installation? In this script you could put the copy...
If you want to make it International... why not putting the Name of "Internal Storage" in the language-File? Or: Ask the user, where he wants to have his "Save-Files" - then you have the complete working path for you.
There's no reason to put something in a .cab, which canbe much easier done after installation. You need it anyway the whole time if somebody creates a new Titanium Skin - or should then the cab be reinstalled?
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
Same as 2. - only back... and how to add Shortcuts in an .inf-File - I think that you already knows, right?
Keep up your good work - when it's working - than very much people will know, for what you'd make this effort!
Thank you
Micha

I did not want to touch the rest of ExtensibilityXML because i want to leave the setup of the plugins everyone already has. Anyway only the plugins supported by the theme will show up.

Some developers to which i have talked are willing to change their approach and try to leave bronzeres untouched for the next versions of their themes. Anyway the possibility to swap bronzeres is in the script and it is working well. I have fried to chnage theme without bronzeres at the beginning but for most of the themes the slider panel image is in bronzeres, so it does not look good without changing it.
I will have a look for my VGA-cpr - at the moment I haven't very much installed.

Yes i was thinking doing it like this but i have only done the very sinple cabs to install bronzeres up to now using the cab wizard, so i really am offside with building cabs.

You are right on this, the script could be launched after installation and just copy the TitaniumThemes folder into Storage Card. I did choose this name as i used it in my scripts but i could change it to Internal Storage to suit the needs of non WWE users, for you it would be Speicherkarte right?
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
Same as 2. - only back... and how to add Shortcuts in an .inf-File - I think that you already knows, right?

Ok, can go in the same script, i thought pakaging everything into 1 cab install would be easier but you are right.
No - not "Speicherkarte" "Interner Speicher" would be the word, which Microsoft has chosen...
With Cab-Wizard you won't have any chance... you need the .inf-File... and I know... it's hard... there's no description for our purpose at one place - I had to seek very much around until I had the cab-concept e.g. for JMLToday.
But so I could help you - I will make bytheway a description with a .cab-Frame for JMLToday 5.3 - but I can give you the additional informations what you need to get it work with AT Plugin Installer.
Therefore I would need the complete directory-structure, which you want to cab... and a little time...
Send me a private message, ok? Don't want to blow up your Thread with Things that doesn't concern all users.
I am working to iron out the cprs for the different themes, to get support for most of the plugins out there today. When they are ready for QVGA i will try to resize them for the other resolutions with the new tool that came out, and post them for you to test them for me in your devices. When they are working well i can post installers for all resolutions.
I need information of which themes people is using to see which ones are worth to be included in the theme switcher, so pls. vote in the poll.
Cool Claus, but the poll isn't good
You develop a Theme Switcher - and in the Poll you can only choose one Theme

You are totally right Micha, it was late when i posted the poll and forgot to change the option to let choose several options. Now i don't find how to change this option. Any mod can help me do that?
There are some resized cprs to be tested on the first post for VGA and WQVGA. If someone with this resolution has TitaniumShadowNeo or WM7 theme installed could test them, i would be grateful. Pls. don't forget to backup your Titanium cprs first.
Will be happy for any feedback to correct the cprs.

Thanks for testing it, i will look into the missing icon and move the text a bit up for this panel tomorrow, and repost the cprs. Are those the only issues you found?
Hi,
did anyone find a way to remove the words that IME automatically adds to the dictionary? in case you add some garbage by mistake.
update
found a file in /data/data/com.htc.htcime called udb which seems to have the words in it but it's in a format I dont see how to edit.
mmm, my /data dir seems to be empty? At least, various file mgrs claim so. Can't check from the cmdline owing to ConnectBot kbd bug.
yep, think you need root to see the folder's content.
anyway, deleting that folder cleared the keyboard "word cache". Not the best way but it worked.
thanks; good info.
I read that getting root disabled the ability to download paid apps from Market; is that true?
Not on my Hero, just bought Tweetcat a few hours ago with no problem
marvelous! thanks, I wanted to get root to use nandroid backup, but was worried; any other downsides to getting root?
[apols for dragging this off-topic, too]

first welcome on xda.
Secondly with some more information it was easilyer to help, but here we go.
mostly themes are package in a cab file, so you download it, copied it to your Sd where ever you will, navigate with your explorer (from your device) tho the path on your sd where you storage the cab file, press on the cab file you will install. You will see a new window open who ask the installation path. select internal memory (do always this fore themes/skins) after installation do a quick restart of device and that's it.
about the wallpaper, go to the setting tab, select background & wallpaper, navigate to the image you would, and select it. that's all.
if you will have a wallpaper fore each tab make use if CHT
in case of something isn't clear contact us again, and give some more information about what you will and problems you have.

I see what you mean, it's because you remove the CHT there is a parameter who isn't present now.
Tree way's to restore.
- Restore CHT
- Install bg4all or hq wall patch.
- soft reset
I recommended the first option.
