Hello,
I use the CyanogenMod on my Samsung Galaxy S2.
I want to edit the System Settings Layout/View.
When I open Settings I can see a Category named "CyanogenMod".
How can I create my own Category or delete some categorys?
Which Files I have to edit?
Is it even possible to edit a System View/Layout?
regards

example: i open this .png file....and replace it with the red one. Would i see the change when i flash back?
There are 4 selectable Fonts on my SGP5, and an option to downlaod additional ones. I can't seem to find the font folder that these fonts are located (don't appear to be in System/Fonts folder). Is there a way to add fonts (into whatever folder the optional fonts are), without rooting?
You can get apk fonts then manually install them. After installation, the fonts would appear as part of the choices. No root needed

Hi,
When I search using Root Explorer on my SGP5, I see a bunch of .ttf files (truetype font files).

Where? (other than System/fonts)? Looking for that choco cookie one, I figure if that's not in a system folder, I could just drag ttf fonts there. I'll look for an apk to install them.

If you have a rooted device, you can use the "Font Installer" app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
It has a HUGE number of fonts for you to choose from.

Hi,
Sorry. I forgot to mention the directory. Yes, they're in /system/fonts (lower-case 's' on 'system') on my SGP5.
BTW, I think that you can't just drop the .ttf files into the directory. I think (not sure) that there's also some kind of associated XML file somewhere that is needed (again, not 100% sure).

I didn't see the same fonts in that folder that are in setting options. I agree you can't drag fonts into that folder unless you are rooted. I just find it odd there is an option to download custom fonts from the market "get fonts online" that will install, and not be able to just drag tt fonts into some folder. I have font changer on my rooted Optimus that work great, just haven't rooted my SGP yet. So far no real reason.
I know how to associate ringtones with contacts.
I want to rename ringtones with the name of the contact so they are easier to find by file name.after flashing a ROM
The problem is that changing the file name doesn't always change the name of the ringtone. Or editing the title in the text file breaks the ringtone so it won't play.
For example:
"Orion" ring tone file can be renamed "Friend1", and will show up in file managers as Friend1. But under Sound/Select Ringtones, it will still show up as Orion. Opening the file in Text Editor and changing the title will break the ringtone.
Solution?
Are you renaming the file name through the phone or on a pc? Might make a difference. Not sure though.

I probably renamed them on a PC, then transferred the folder to the phone sdcard. My plan is to then replace the systen/media/audio/ringtones folder with one that avoids the ringtones I don't like, and only includes options I like.
That works, but doesn't allow my new names to show up under ringtone selection lists. The old name then appears, twice if I also keep the old file with the original ringtone name.
In a text editor, I can change the "title" inside the text of the file, but that breaks the ringtone.
2 Ringtones are exceptions, and don't include 'titles" in the text file. They don't revert, but show up as I have renamed them.

On a computer in a media player, you should be able to "edit tag info" or something similar. that is where you add in the track name, artist, album info and all of a MP3.
**EDIT**
Easier way, on a Windows machine you can just right click the file and select properties, then the details tab, change it there.
If the files are edited properly, they will work, and show up properly. The "text edit" method just broke the files so they wouldn't play. But an MP3 tag editor which can also handle .ogg files will allow the title to be changed and whatever else is needed in there to make it work.
So the solution for me is:
1. Copy the ringtone you want.
2. Rename the file with a R/W capable root explorer, or do it on a PC.
3. Retag with a tag editor to change the Title in the tag if needed, so it shows up properly in the Ringtone selection screens
4. Place the file in the right place with a root explorer, in the case of a Verizon Note 2, the system place is system/media/audio/ringtones
5. I also rename the original ringtones folder, and replace it with one that has all of the ringtones I want, without the ones I don't.
Do you think that replacing the "Lgsmartgothic-bold.ttf" file with another file. Ttf and rename it "Lgsmartgothic-bold.ttf" will change the font?
