Change lock screen font?

breeza

Managed to change the lock screen sliders to froyo stock ones but I am now wanting to change the font of the clock / date / service provider.

Normally it looks like you would just change the clockopia font for the clock but moto is not using this. The current font being used is DroidSans but if I change this it is pretty much used everywhere!

Is there an XML somewhere I can change?
Maybe keyguard_screen_lock.xml in the framework-res.apk? But I can't see any reference to a font or typeface in there and I just read that you can only use the android default fonts in the layout XMLs so would have to set it in a jar somewhere... Can anyone help?

By the way the lock screen sliders are definitely less choppy in the new euro deblurred ROM.

[Edit]

OK so after a bit more digging I can say that the lock screen layout is defined in zz_moto_keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml and it uses a bunch of blur styles like: style="\@style/Blur.BigTimeTxt"

Anyone know where these are defined?

[Edit 2]

Looks like it might be in values/styles.xml in the decompiled framework-res.apk

[Edit 3]

Looked at the android.policy.jar and I still can't see where I would change the font. Looked at the base 2.1 opensource code as well and couldn't see a reference to the clockopia font. Help!

OhhCoreey

Clockopia is just the clock font on Moto as well.

The clockopia font is there but it is not used on the defy lock screen.

Grabbed the png files from here:

http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/198067-morph-android-2-2-stock-lockscreen-dialer-sliders-mods.html

And then copied them to the defy framework-res.apk

DJGHOSTS3V3N

Im pretty lost. Did you used metamorph or just adb pushed?

breeza

adb to pull the /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Extracted the apk and copied in the new .png files

Re zipped the apk and pushed it back

If you are using the new euro deblurred ROM you can use my amended apk:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17360979/framework-res.7z

DJGHOSTS3V3N

so
cd/
cd androidsdk/tools
adb pull system/framework/framework-res.apk

where is the framework-res.apk?
Once i found it i rename to framework-res.apk.zip
Extract
Look for which png? (name please)
Delete
Take ur .png copy and paste
change framework-res.apk.zip to .apk only
open cmd
cd/
cd androidsdk/tools
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
Then what i do in my phone?
Reboot?
Need help. Lol

The png files are in the original link I posted.

I used apk manager to help me with extracting and then building the new apk:

Or download an ap called Lockbot works a lot better.

Saceed

I ment app

DJGHOSTS3V3N

Saceed thank you but atleast I want to mod my rom. No apps.

breeza

Yeah lock screen apps never quite do it as far as I am concerned.

DJGHOSTS3V3N

@breeza can i do it my way? i dont like using apps. :S??

breeza

Sure, you can do it manually if you want.

DJGHOSTS3V3N

Well I will try on my cliqxt if it works ill tell ya ill see if i can put this in FakeFroYo
if it works u get credit. :D

breeza

Loving the new ROM so far.
I know I am persistent but I have copied the standard android lock screen layout and created a new zz_moto_keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.xml which in my opinion looks much cooler than the default defy one.
Give it a try:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17360979/zz_moto_keyguard_screen_tab_unlock.zip

You can get the stock android answer / ignore sliders here:http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/198067-morph-android-2-2-stock-lockscreen-dialer-sliders-mods.html
They need to go into the Phone.apk. Here they are with the correct file names and path to go straight in:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17360979/Phone_apk_sliders.zip

Come on guys someone clever must be able to figure out how to change the clock font to clockopia :)

DJGHOSTS3V3N

Lol i will replace these .apk
Once I finish ill help you out. Remember that Clockopia not only applies to the lock screen but to other text on your phone. So if you remove Clockopia other text in the phone will be affected.
:D

breeza

Found it in the framework.jar :)

breeza

Done!

Hey are you new here?!
