Hello,
Anyone knows if it's possible to get Google Product Sans preferably without rooting or flashing anything? That'd be really great! Thanks in advance!
There is an easy way!
1. Download the attached file and rename .zip to .hwt
2. Copy to Sdcard/Huawei/Themes
3. Restart
4. Opens themes app and select customize -> Fonts. Select the font.
This is not my own work. Venom007 has a thread about this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-8/themes-apps/noroot-font-styles-updated-02-09-16-t3453559
It doesn't work
It doesn't work. Followed all the steps rigorously and it doesn't appear in the fonts. I'm on a Mate 20 Lite on android 8.1 with emui 8.2, could you please tell me how to make it work? thx. I just noticed its a theme itself, but can't apply it, could you tell me to set it only as a font? not as a theme.
I fixed that, you have to download any font from the Huawei store, then the system creates a new folder named HWfonts, now you go on this folder, and copy the name of the font you have download from the store, now you put this name to the font u want to import, exactly the .ffs file, now you move it to the HWfonts folder and replace the store's font.
Sorry for my explaining I don't know much English...
Basically, you make product sans the theme. Then go to customise, you will see that it is now a text style aswell. So you switch the lock screen style to whatever you want. And the text style will remain product sans. Hope that helped.

Download, unzip, place the .hwt file in Huawei/Themes on your internal card.
Go to Me in the theme app, select my text. And you will see it. Apply, done!
Go to Settings > Home screen & wallpaper > Themes > scroll to bottom to find Product Sans > Select > APPLY
Fix fonts. Settings > Home screen & wallpaper > Icons > Select EMUI 11 default fonts > APPLY

I thought I'd make a list of the threads and the apps commonly used for Customizations and MY FAVORITES for future reference and hope it'll also help some of you guys who are just starting out I will be updating the thread as much as I can, and will be highlighting the new additions in GREEN, So if you guys want me to post your work here, shoot me a PM and a link to your work, or just post it in this thread. I'd be glad to include them in this list.
NOTE: The people who made these possible for us are awesome! So please if it helped you show some love and hit on the THANK YOU button where its due. That's including me
:Widgets are awesome! However, some might cause more battery drain so use them wisely

How to change the app Icons in your APP drawer(This will be tricky, but if youre bored. Have at it)
The icons themselves are stored inside the individual apk files. You need to open each one, swap out the icon and reassemble it. It's not nearly as hard as it sounds.
1. Tools you need -
- 7zip
Download the appropriate version for your PC. Don't grab the beta.
- The original copy of the Fresh ROM you used to flash your phone.
- The icons you want to change.
2. Create a working folder on your PC.
3. Using 7zip, open the Fresh ROM zip file. Navigate to the system/app folder inside the ROM. Highlight ALL the .apk files, and drag them into your working folder. Close the Fresh ROM zip file.
4. Decide on which icon you want to change first. I'll use the Browser as an example.
5. Use 7zip to open the Browser.apk you pulled out of the Fresh ROM. Once open, look for the res/drawable folder inside the apk.
6. Inside that folder, look for an .png file named ic_launcher_browser.png . That's the icon that the app uses.
7. Have your new icon ready. It should be 48x48 and a .png file. Make sure it's named ic_launcher_browser.png .
8. Drag the NEW icon into the open 7zip window that's showing the res/drawable folder. Choose yes if it asks you about overwriting the original file.
9. Close 7zip.
The Browser app has now been changed and will show your new icon in the drawer, and on the homescreen if you paste a shortcut. Do the same for each of the apps you want to change the icon of. The icon will always be in /res/drawable, and be named ic_launcher_ **app name**.png
Once you have changed all the icons, you'll have a set of apk files with your new icons. You can push these to the phone one by one from the terminal, or you can create your own update.zip
To push them to the phone (once again Browser.apk will be our example)
1. In your Android SDK/tools folder, make a new folder called icons.
2. Copy the Browser.apk file to the folder you just created.
3. Open the windows command prompt, and navigate to the Android SDK/tools folder. NOT the new folder you just made.
4. Enter the following commands one line at a time:
Code:
adb remount
adb push \icons\Browser.apk /system/app/Browser.apk
5. Do the same for each of the apk files you edited, changing the name Browser.apk to the name of the file you're pushing to the phone.
6. Reboot the phone.
To create your own ROM to flash them.
1. Attached is a file called META-INF.zip . Download it. Open with 7zip and drag the META-INF folder into your working folder.
2. Inside your working folder, make a new folder called system. Inside it, create a folder called app. Move all the edited apk files into this folder.
3. Highlight the system folder, and the META-INF folder you copied over and right click. Choose 7zip->create archive. Make sure it's a zip archive, and name it icons-eclair-fresh.zip . When it's finished, open it and make sure the directory structure matches your working folder. All the apks need to be in system/app/, and there needs to be a META-INF/com/google/android/update-script. Nothing else should be inside the zip file.
4. Download the second attachment named signing-tools.zip. Create a folder on your PC named sign_tools, and copy the three files in the zip to the new folder.
5. Copy the icons-eclair-fresh.zip file and place a copy in the sign_tools folder.
6. Open the terminal, and go to the sign_tools folder. Type the following command in the terminal:
Code:
java -jar signapk.jar testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 icons-eclair-fresh.zip icons-signed.zip
7. That will create a new zip file named icons-signed.zip. Open it, and look inside the META-INF folder. You will see 3 RSA keys along with the com folder. That means you're done.
Copy the new icons-signed.zip file to your SD card. Reboot into recovery. DON'T FORGET TO DO A NEW BACKUP BEFORE YOU CONTINUE! Flash your file without wiping. Enjoy your new icons, and congrats. You're now an Android developer.

hey you got anything on editing the notification tray? I can't seem to find any good guide.
Kinda tricky to do this, and only works on De Odexed ROMs so I didnt wanna put it in OP, but I guess I can, I'll just put a warning
There are a few ways to do it, but heres the easiest way to theming
http://circle.glx.nl/
the status bar is an image found in framework-res.apk /res/drawable-hdpi/
statusbar_background.png - status bar image. change it in photoshop to what you like. it's not a "color," so you can change the image to have a shadow, a design, whatever you like.
just keep in mind that if you make it transparent..it may not work well with other apps on your phone (i.e. you'll see the apps background through the bar on top, not always a good thing!
dont confuse it with status_bar_background.png, which is the background file for your notification drawer

IT IS A BIT BIG BUT IT IS WORTH OF EFFORTS ADN VISIT http://supetawesomedude.deviantart.com/#/d4m2dq6 TO CHECK OUT THE END PRODUCT
WHAT THIS GUIDE IS FOR:
-How to change icons in espier launcher
-How to change page indicators
-How to change dock
-How to change notification bubble
-How to add custom icons (for apps not natively themed by espier launcher) RECENTLY EDITED
-How to install onto phone
A. Preliminary Steps:
1. Install apktool http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/
2. Create a directory called Espier launcher mod
3. Download Espier launcher http://dl.free.fr/pjgXgBDEb and rename to launcher.apk
4. Place Espier Launcher into that directory.
5. Open terminal.
6. Change terminal directory to your Espier launcher mod folder.
E.G. I ran this:
Code:
cd /home/gaurav/Desktop/Espier launcher mod
7. Decompile the apk.
Code:
apktool d launcher.apk
B. Changing basic icons.
**UPDATE**
Now, to prevent icons from being edited (in a bad way) by Espier Launcher, download this icon and place it in drawable-(h/m/l)dpi. This is crucial to prevent your icons from getting a weird white glow around them!
1. Open res/drawable-(hdpi/ldpi/mdpi/xhdpi) *depending on what screen size your phone is. I have an mdpi so i will go into drawble-mdpi
2. Change the desired icon
For example, the file
Code:
ic_com_android_camera_preparecamera.png
can be replaced by an image of the same (or similar) size. when you're done, it should look like:
http://uppix.net/4/1/e/c43d8a7bc3e1fe2aa29cd3792dbe5.png
3. Refer to Section G
C. Changing page indicators
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find the file:
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus.png
ic_screen_level_normal.png
3. Replace these two files with desired ones
4. Open res/drawable-hdpi
5. Replace these files with desired images.
Code:
ic_screen_level_focus
ic_screen_level_normal.png
ic_screen_level_search_focus.png
ic_screen_level_search_normal.png
ic_screen_level_widget_focus.png
ic_screen_level_widget_normal.png
6. Refer to Section G.
D. How to change dock
1. Navigate to res/drawable-mdpi (in my case)
2. Find file called
Code:
toolbar.png
3. Replace with desired (make sure the dock image is correct size for your phone)
4. Refer to Section G.
E. How to change notification bubble.
1. Open res/drawable-mdpi
2. Find and replace with desired image
Code:
icon_shuzi1.png
3. Refer to Section G.
F. How to add custom icons
*Warning* This section is a lot more confusing. Please read carefully. *Warning*
1. Navigate to /res/values/arrays.xml
2. Now, it gets tricky.
3. Go this website http://activities.droidicon.com/
4. Search for an app. It should look like this:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/0/9/8/4f7817e4c48f07662595e19ec72e7.png
5. Now, in arrays.xml, scroll down until you see this type of coding
Screenshot http://uppix.net/8/0/e/a9cc14bdf96ecae1dbc6e3a31eed4.png
6. Get to the end of that "chunk" of xml.
7. Let's say we're theming the facebook app. So we add this to xml. (and fill it out with info)
Code:
<item>ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>DESCRIPTIVE_ACTIVITY_OF_APP</item>
<item>@drawable/NAME_OF_APP</item>
For example:
Code:
<item>com.facebook.katana</item>
<item>com.facebook.katana.LoginActivity</item>
<item>@drawable/facebook</item>
You get the first line of info like this:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/8/0/e/a9cc14bdf96ecae1dbc6e3a31eed4.png
and the second:
Screenshot http://uppix.net/7/b/0/cb6a915df97299a2832be59e39841.png
in that third line of that xml we add (@drawable/NAME_OF_APP), you can name your app anything you want. i made it "facebook" in this case.
8. Save and exit.
9. Find a desired image for your application (in this case facebook).
10. Rename it to "NAME_OF_APP.png" in this case, "facebook.png"
11. Drop that file into drawable/mdpi
12. Repeat steps 1-11 for as many applications as you want to theme.
13. Refer to Section G.
G. How to install on your phone
1. First, save and close everything you're working on.
2. Open your terminal, and change its directory to the "espier launcher mod" folder
3. Type in
Code:
apktool b 'PATH_TO/espier launcher mod' 1.apk
4. Take that 1.apk, and sign it, using a program like ApkSigner http://android-softwares.blogspot.com/2011/08/apksigner-v04-sign-unsigned-android-apk.html
5. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
6. Mount it as a mass storage device.
7. Transfer that signed.apk to the root of your sdcard.
8. Now on your phone, uninstall any current version of EspierLauncher you may have.
9. Then, using a file manager, install the signed.apk from your sdcard.
This too, should be in themes n apps...

If you're wondering what is the best theme out there for your pocophone when using MIUI 10 it's the XTB THEME V1.2 made by a russky group called XTB.
It is also compatible with any phones that runs miui 10.
All the credits goes to the developer himself Тимуру.
Installation - go to Themes APP and import the .mtz file - click apply and save changes.

2. After MIUI Theme Editor installation, launch it.
3. Now click on Browse and go to the downloaded MIUI Theme and select it and then click on the Start.
4. Click on Next and check Edit file name or path.
5. After checking the Edit file name or path click on the Finish.
6. Now click on Install.
Nice theme, thanks.
It's nice but the bad thing is that it leaves me all the text in Russian, I think I'll have to delete
Since I'm no longer updating my themes (at least for now) and I've been asked a few times, I'll provide a quick guide to changing the accent colours.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...ed-black-theme-accent-colour-options-t4051377
May do a full guide at some point in the future, but that would be quite long.
Huawei themes are just zip files but with ".hwt" file extension.
Apps I use:
*Note, you can use any similar apps that serve the same function, though I believe mixplorer is the best file manager especially for editing themes.
File Explorer (to edit the .hwt & .zip files).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixplorer.silver
*also note if you're using a different file manager you might have to add ".zip" to the theme.hwt e.g. theme.hwt.zip before you can open it, with mixplorer you don't.
Download:
iOmix-Temp.hwt
https://bit.ly/2M82lHT
Colour picker (to find the hex colour code of your choice).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jahirfiquitiva.pals
Vector image editor (to create the .png files).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.shoebillsoftware.vectordraw
Download:
iOmix Theme Png Templates
https://bit.ly/2ZxJtdd
Includes .png & .svg use either as a template to create your own brightness & volume scrubbers these ideally should be the same accent colour that you use in the theme.xml
1. (Optional) Create a folder on your phone, call it whatever you want, I usually name it editing.
2. Copy the theme file (iOmix-Temp.hwt) to the folder.
3. Rename the theme file by adding ".zip" extension to the end "iOmix-Temp.hwt.zip"
*you can skip this if you're using mixplorer.
4. Open the zip and extract the following files to the editing folder:
com.android.contacts
com.android.systemui
framework-res-hwext
framework-res
5. Rename all files by adding ".zip" to the end
com.android.contacts.zip
com.android.systemui.zip
framework-res-hwext.zip
framework-res.zip
6. First we'll edit the theme.xml files in each of the files we extracted in step 5.
The process will be the same > replace 007DFE (this is a hex code without the #) with your own colour code (also without the #).
7. Editing theme.xml files
**Contacts.zip**
A. In the contacts zip open the theme.xml use the replace function to replace 007DFE with any other colour code *make sure [replace all] is selected.
B. Open framework-res-hwext folder > open theme.xml and repeat previous steps of replacing 007DFE with your preferred colour.
**Systemui.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
B. Framework-res > theme.xml
C. Framework-res-hwext > theme.xml
**Framework-res-hwext.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
B. Res > theme.xml
**Framework-res.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Main folder > theme.xml
8. Replacing the main .png files.
**Contacts.zip**
A. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > fastscroll_label_phonebook_emui_null_icon.png (needs to be 152*152 pixels)
**Systemui.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Framework-res-hwext > Res > drawable-xxhdpi > scrubber_control_normal_emui.png
(needs to be 98*98 pixels)
B. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > ic_seekbar_thumb.png
(needs to be 90*90 pixels)
**Framework-res-hwext.zip**
Edit the theme.xml in the following.
A. Res > drawable-xxhdpi > scrubber_control_normal_emui.png
(needs to be 98*98 pixels)
Finally you might want to rename the theme so you can find it in the Huawei theme manager app.
In the root of the theme zip there is a file called description.xml, open this file and change the title Theme title
Now remove the ".zip" from the files you renamed at the start:
com.android.contacts.zip
com.android.systemui.zip
framework-res-hwext.zip
framework-res.zip
Back to:
com.android.contacts
com.android.systemui
framework-res-hwext
framework-res
Copy the 4 files back into the theme.theme.hwt, If you used mixplorer then just copy the edited theme.theme.hwt back to your main themes folder
If you used a different file manager then remove the ".zip" extension from the theme.hwt then move to your main themes folder.
If you edited theme isn't showing in the Huawei themes manager, you might need to force stop it then reopen the app.
I hope this is clear enough.
Would be great if you share your edited theme here.
Let me know if there's any questions
***(This is a work in progress will be updated as time goes on)***

The volume pop up has 3 sections, can you screen shot and annotate exactly what part you want to change.

Hi Faisal,
To change the share sheet colour:
framework-res > theme.xml >
<color name="GM2_grey_800">#ff161616</color> (change to preferred colour)
In mixplorer you can use the code or text editor (I prefer the code).
If your editing the theme.xml in framework-res (for example) you first need to extract it from the theme.hwt, then add .zip = framework-res.zip then edit the xml inside
As for the other theme you're best asking the theme creator of that, not all themers use the same structure and this thread is just a quick guide to changing the accent colour since a few people have asked.
Maybe I'll do a longer guide at some point in future but right now I don't want to spend too much time on this.

Hello there.. Please can. U guide me. How do i know what part is called what in the theme. Xml file please. I cannot get it done and there is no guide for themeing emui settings app . God bless u brother
In this updated guide I'm gonna show you how to install any custom fonts you like in your Samsung Galaxy device WITHOUT ROOT. It works in all One UI (Android) versions; even in One UI 4.1!
ALL CREDITS TO @sathishtony 's #mono_ app and @__TrungDK__ 's method!
• #mono_ version 2.1 [NO-ROOT] ➜ https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...v2-1-for-samsung-oneui-1-2-3-no-root.4195613/
• __TrungDK__'s thread ➜ https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-android-10-oneui-2-5-samsung-phone.4203153/
Video tutorial:
Steps to follow (updated in 2021):
1. Make sure you are signed in into your Samsung Account.
2. Download and install #mono_ v2.1.
3. Launch #mono_ and allow the permissions it asks.
4. Install Samsung Sans through the #mono_ app.
5. Change your device's font to Samsung Sans.
6. At your phone's Settings, go to "Accounts and backup" and then to "Back up data" under Samsung Cloud.
──
6.5. If you can't find the Back up/Restore options due to carriers hiding them:
I. Download Activity Launcher from the Play Store.
II. In the search field you type "Cloud".
III. In the Samsung Cloud submenu you will find the Back up/Restore options.
──
7. Select only "Settings" and back them up.
8. Move your custom fonts to the "ttf" subfolder inside the "monofonts" folder (Internal Storage►monofonts►ttf).
8.5. If your font is not a ".ttf" font, then you may convert it using any online tool.
9. Go back to #mono_ and tap on "Load TTF". Select the font you want to change to.
10. Under the "Load TTF" button, tap on "Install". Uninstall Samsung Sans.
11. Tap again on the same "Install" button. Install the "fake" Samsung Sans.
12. At your phone's Settings, go to "Accounts and backup" and then to "Restore data" under Samsung Cloud.
13. Select only "Settings" and restore it. Don't delete the backup.
14. Android will be tricked into thinking that it's applying again Samsung Sans but it will actually apply your custom font!
15. You may repeat this process from step 8 or 9, for every other font, now.

Unfortunately not. Apps use the system's font by default.
