I use BeWeather. Inside of the app it says to use custom fonts move the font to, mnt/sdcard/beweather. However I cannot put a TTF file at all on my phone. Also the program will not recognize any other font type that I have tried. Any suggestions on how to get custom fonts in BeWeather?
I don't mean to change the subject...but its BeWeather related so its not a complete thread hi-jacking...but on yours are the top of XL type weather icons cut off on the 2x1 widget? This is driving me nuts....
I don't know how to add new fonts either...but would like to...

This is not development, so moved to Q&A
Pull your framework-res and have a look, or the apps apk and change it directly.
What im trying to do is add icons to a theme im making , ive added some which i had to rename in order for them to replace some of thr default icons for apps when activating the theme. But i would like to replace some other default icons but i need to find out what to rename my custom icons too in order to replace the remaining default app icons when i activate the theme (adw launcher)

I had the same issue with my modded theme ADW theme, you need to pull the apps such as "Conversations.apk" which is basically MMS.apk on 1.6 and either change the icon in the apk itself or rename the icons in the theme to what they are now called in 2.1, and the only way you'll find that out is by pulling the apks and opening them.
Ferk.... alot of digging around , after ive found as many as i can that work ill post a list of what to rename your icons to in your theme to replace the default icons. If you or anyone else already knows some can ya post it to help out thanks
Looking for stuff like this .....
Shortcut icon to the camera is named ....
Com_camera_cameraactivity
(or something like that)
So i would need to rename my icon from icon.png to com_camera_cameraactivity.png , then place it in the theme apk using eclipse , under a folder named /res/drawables_hdpi/ .
After that i would install the theme and the camera icon will have changed to the icon i want.
So thats the info we require ; the correct icon renames for as many apps as posible .

There will be a new version of SiMi Folder available this weekend. You will be able to change the background, frame and arrow to a color you like. The Icon size can also be changed in the new version.
Have fun
After watching the video demoing the Windows 8 tablet I decided to try and recreate as much of the UI as possible.
If this sounds like something you want, you'll need the following apps:
-ADW EX Launcher
-Desktop Visualizer
-Multipicture Live Wallpaper
Optional:
-Palmary Weather Pro
Setup:
-Place the adw_ex_settings.xml file into your /sdcard directory and restore settings in ADW. Or set columns to 9 and rows to 5, make sure you have widgets set to stretch in advanced and turn off wallpaper scrolling.
-Set the wallpaper in Multipicture Live Wallpaper. Or you can try Wallpaper Wizardii if you want, but even though we're only going to be using the one wallpaper I found Multipicture was easier to use.
-Place a shortcut to open/close the app drawer under "Start", use the transparent.png for an icon and delete the text. Then arrange the 2x1 and 1x1 desktop visualizer widgets as you see fit.
*Optional* Modding Palmary Weather Pro:
-Download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
-Pull the Palmary apk and place it into the modding folder, then run the Apk Manager script and select 1 to unzip the apk.
-Unzip the weather backgrounds and icons (optional) I provided into their respective directories, overwriting the existing files.
-Press 3 to zip it back up and then press 4 to re-sign the apk.
-Install the app and change the background color by choosing different transparencies in Palmary settings.
Please note that if you edit the background png's I provided they will not work afterwards. If you want to add more colors or change the ones I included, you'll have to refer to this guide here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/404-mo...ng-images.html
I hope you like the look, and if you make some new icons or wallpapers please upload them to the thread. If enough new ones get made I'll add them to this post.
Files:
Wtab8_icons - icons, wallpaper, adw settings
Wtab8_psd_fonts - 2x1, 1x1 psd files, Segoe fonts
Wtab8_weather_mod - backgrounds and icons for use with Palmary Weather.
The Palmary icons are still kind of a work in progress, if you live in an area that gets severe weather things can look a bit busy.

You can stop here if you want, but if you want to make the Palmary Weather widget look more like a Windows 8 live tile you'll need to take some additional steps...
First you'll need to download Apk Manager from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701
Once you've pulled the Palmary apk, place it into the modding folder and press 1 to unzip the contents into the projects folder, then simply extract the weather backgrounds and icons (optional) into their respective directories. Then press 3 to zip it back up and then press 4 to sign it. Once that's done you can install the app again. Then you can change the background color via the transparency option.
If you want to add more colors or change the ones I included, you'll have to refer to this guide here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/404-mo...ng-images.html
If you change the background png's I included they will not work afterwards.

Use the same method used to modify the palmary weather widget on ADW. Once the apk is unpacked, find the icons and make them transparent.

hey everyone got a quick question.
so ive searched and searched multiple forums and threads and i just can't find away to do this. what i would like to do is change some miui system icons with out applying a whole theme. like going into the icons of the theme and just changing the ones on my homescreen. i know that if you use a different launcher you can change them but i do not want to use an alternate launcher i would like to use the stock launcher. if anyone can't point me in the right direction on changing them feel free to post in here or message me.
thanks in advance
You can either open the theme you're using and modify or add the icons, or you can use Desktop Visualizer. You'll still have the app icons on your screen, you can just put them in a folder if you want. Use a Desktop Visualizer widget, don't use the shortcut.
If you need help changing your theme (or making an icon theme if you're not using a theme) you can pm me & I'll do it for you. Just send me the icons and name them what you want them to be. If you don't know how to name them properly, I can do it. I just need to know what you want the icon to represent.

7zip should work. Unzip the theme, and inside you'll see an "icons" file. Add a zip extension and extract. Add/replace the icons that you want - they have to be named the process name. For example, if you want to add an icon for the Market, you'd name it "com.android.vending.png". You wouldn't add the png extension since it's already there. The MIUI Music app would be com.miui.player.png, and so on. Once you've finished, rezip the icons and remove the zip extension. Then zip up the whole theme and change zip to mtz.
I know a lot of the popular process names off the top of my head because I do this a lot. It's actually faster for me to do it for you than to try to give a step by step guide, so if you run into issues send me a pm.

In order not to get bored with writing on the screen, install this apk to add a collection of fonts in the settings.
There are so many font collections it looks like you will be confused to choose lol.
