First thing I do after I am able to flash a recovery and root a new phone is replace the ugly font! So I have used @Chromium 's tool and created a Roboto Condensed font pack that will replace all the fonts on the phone (yes I am aware that some of the fonts are already this font face). I have flashed this on my X using the CWM beta from the General forum and it worked like a charm so I figured I would drop it here in case others feel the same way. Enjoy!

Hello ...
Just finished the port of my froyo theme to CM7.2.
Screenshots : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32890756/CM7.2-SambastrakanTheme.jpg
Flashable package via cwm with roboto fonts resized (if you don't want them just delete fonts folder in the package) : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32890756/SambastrakanThemeCWM.zip
!! caution !!
As always in my case : Only locales availables in these apk's are FR-PT-EN. All the others are deleted.
!! make a full backup before trying !!
If you like it, enjoy !

How to install???
Well, it's not an update via cwm. You need to extract the archive and push the files to respective folders in /system with adb.
will see if I make an update.zip later ...
Ok, thanks will try now. Hope I dont ruin something
flashable via cwm : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32890756/SambastrakanThemeCWM.zip
uploading ... done !
Interesting.....
Downloading now. BTW is this a theme for the theme choser or sth else?
Sent from my GT-I5800 using xda premium
Nop ... I deleted the integrated theme and themeChooser in my rom and modded directly the default one. I think it's not good to apply a theme over the default one on our small phone ...
So ... 250 views and no comments ...
Anyone gave a try ? it works ? it's hugly or not ?

after applying this theme on CM7 A8 1>mass storage ain't working every time i try to connect the phone it reboots
2>After every reboot the theme is reset to default one on its own i need it to change again using theme chooser..its kinda annoying
& Can u tell me how have u changed the font color to blue...please
Sorry, I don't have this problem with mass storage. No idea of what is the problem ...
And for the theme I don't know too ... because I deleted the cm7 theme. The purpose of my modd is to not have to use a theme. Just the default one.
For blue text color : Search and replace ffffffff by ff00ccff in these files :
- colors.xml styles.xml in framework-res.apk/res/values
- the 4 files named *_black.xml in Mms.apk

Thanks a lot for your crystal clear reply& your theme is really awesome & just an opinion u can make a theme for cm7 theme changer it would be awesome....this theme is really superb...i just fell in love with the icons
I was thinking and .... I think I know why you have troubles:
I forgot to say that these modded files are for deodexed CM7 !! AHHHH !
Will update 1st post right now !
Making a real theme that can be applyed will be a crazy job renaming thousands of files (almost every .png were changed)... I don't have nerve to do that
I'm happy you like it ! I was working on it since froyo and it was a big job.
Very good, interesting and original theme
thanks !
V6 update : small changes and now pattern lock screen is centered.

Hi
I dual boot AOKP and Sammy ROM
I found that in Sammy ROMs there is a default feature to change font from Display Options itself..
However since this is not present in AOKP, I use ROM tool box.. (or Font Installer and Font Changer).. But the thing is I'm not able to change Roboto Bold or any other Bold fonts.. It ends up in a boot loop..
Any one know how to replace the fonts...
Can the feature in Sammy ROM be ported to AOKP??? (Just curious )
Thanks in Advance

When you change the bold fonts, you have to follow the exact weight that's in the original bold font
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Can you give like an example.. As to which font I can use that actually has a normal as well as Bold font?
And also my doubt is..
How does it work in Sammy ROMs.. So essentially in Sammy ROMs does that bean there is backup of both Bold and Normal Fonts somewhere while changing?
A couple of weeks ago I already offered these fonts in this HTC One S thread. As I bought the S 4 mini for my daughter, I'm gonna offer them here as well. If you like them, simply hit the thanks button, if not, I'm sorry for having wasted your time.
I removed a handful of additional fonts from this pack, which I originally added to support the Viper One S rom:
"Android 4.3 will come with a slightly improved Roboto font. Fontmaniacs can read more about it in a typeface teardown over at Android Police.
Those of you who want to use it, can download this font here in a flashable package. The fonts were extracted from a Nexus 4 system dump.
When flashing this package, it will replace some font files in /system/fonts, so it is a good idea to make a nandroid backup before."
Enjoy.

Can you post a screen of these fonts? I'd like to see what I'm installing. Thank you!
As screeners are not first choice to show differences due to resizing and compression of its data, please have a look at the link posted in OP or, after flashing on your phone.
You can flash this zip to return to your stock fonts.
Hello Guys!
I have been working a lot fixing the bugs and the incorrect fonts of the boot animation of the Android BIOS I made.
I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
Many of you loved it though but due to incorrect font it many were disappointed.
Well I have made it a LOT better
Now you can enjoy two bootanimations mixed!
Thanks to @tj_droid for allowing me to port his watchdogs bootanimation into mine.
I have made it a lot better and great for you all
I have made many changes and most importantly fixed the FONT ISSUE!
NOW ENJOY the HD BIOS bootanimation
I have provided 7 screenshots of how the boot animation looks like. Many asked for original one not to be altered so didn't do much change in that but there is much more you can imagine Don't make me kill the suspence Check it out NOW!
Warning Before flashing this zip manually backup your stock bootanimation by going to root directory of your phone via root explorer then go to /system/media and there you will find your current bootanimation.zip file. Just copy it and save it someplace safe in case you want to go back to your stock animation.
I loved your boot animation. How do I install it?
Another great news is that from now on ALL OF MY BOOTANIMATIONS WILL BE FLASHABLE zip's
Just download the bootanimation from the link I provided and then boot into CWM or TWRP locate the file you downloaded and then flash it
Simple no
CHANGELOG V 2.0
Code:
Added new bootanimation screen
Fixed the FONT ERROR
Made the zip Flashable, now no need to do any crappy stuff's like downloading any software to install or locating bootanimation file manually and replacing it. ;)
Now the next thing I want to do is add sound in it But don't have any good sound clips matching this boot animation
If you have any ideas/file to share then please share a mp3 sound file of not more than 30-32 secs
Here is the download link : https://app.box.com/s/fchf9vkeoy4wg7u0q7b5
If you liked it then don't be shy from hitting thanks
EDIT : Please do leave a reply, your opinion it's must..!
Great improvement from the first boot animation! Can really see the change in graphics!

Font fixed? Nope... Still wrong! Everything should be in the font "fixedsys"
The whole idea of the BIOS boot screen you based yourself on is to keep it as original as possible, without all the "bling bling" that you have added.
The original is nice to add a nostalgic touch to your phone. This one just looks amateuristic and non-coherent.
This is how it should look like...
Proper version is attached for those who like the original end 90's - early 2000 look.
You gotta learn dude. I don't copy the bootanimations.
Original 90's is my base if Ii could have wanted I could make this old crap to b in work.
My main aim is to keep the original as BASE and modify it to as better as I can!
Hope you understood.
Creating every frame and designing it takes crap out of you! If you made this original bootanimation then comment here don't just show off on "someone else's" creation

If you had thoroughly looked at the file I attached you would have seen that every frame has been modified!
Totally different from the original file. Not only dimension wise but the text aswell.
And atleast mine has the correct font, unlike what you claim to have...
I was trying to help you when posting mine in your previous thread. Even now, I mentioned the name of the font once again.
Very nice bootanimaton my problem is only showing 4.3 OS when i have 4.4.4
Haha sorry I actually run 4.3 so I made it 4.3
Anyways thanks for your suggestion next of this bootanimation would be 4.4
Hit thanks if u liked this bootanimation
Did you make this bootanimation? If yes then you keep the authoritiy to say you own this. I created this bootanimation and I kept my own font which I preferred. If you want to share your bootanimation start a new thread don't do that here

Have installed a custom font which I do not want to persist with, hence looking to get back to my default font on CM13 based custom ROM. If someone can provide me with the fonts or even name of the fonts I need to install to go back to default, I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance.
P.S : Is it Roboto ? Then I have that font.
just dirty flash the rom you'll get your fonts back.
Just go to themes app, select system (default) ,select fonts .... Done!
