So, I checked the Live Blog of today's event, and I loved the new fonts Google has designed for ICS, called Roboto. I just had to get it. :p

I grabbed the system dump, and here's a flashable Zip for the fonts. Tested on CM7, should work on all ROMs. (Sense not tested). Nandroid backup before flashing, just in case. (Update - Attached the Flashable Stock Font Pack as well. In case something goes wrong, or, you simply need the old fonts back)

Also managed to find the wallpapers and ringtones attaching them. (Not resized, but I believe you are upto it). Wallpapers is not a Flashable Zip. Just a simple zip with the images.

Fonts (Related Attachments - FontPack-Roboto_E2.zip, FontPack-STOCK.zip)

- The Clock Widget in the screenshots (This, and for the Wallpapers Actual Preview is Simi Clock Widget)

FAQ's:

Q: The font didn't apply? There are no changes?
A: Firstly, make sure the font genuinely has not applied. The difference is pretty subtle, so, it is possible to miss it. First, check the lockscreen clock font. if it has still not applied, you probably have to try an alternate method to install these. Here is a before/after pic for comparison between the fonts.
Comparison Case 1
Before | After

Comparison Case 2
Before | After

Q: The flashable Zip did not work
A: Firstly, in case your phone hangs / bootloops, try again. There are quite a few members for whom this zip worked in the 2nd attempt. Fortunately, there are a ton of other ways to install fonts. Assuming you did not get into a bootloop, you can try one of these methods:
- Font Changer App from the Market
- ADB
- Terminal Emulator

Q: What about Non-root GS1/ GS2 users?
A: You are going to have to create a Flipfont APK file for the same in that case. The method is posted here.
In case you just want the readymade APK, it is available here. (Check the complete thread before installing)

Ringtones (Related Attachments - ICS_Ringtones.zip (Non-Flashable), ICS_Audio.zip (Flashable))

In one word, they are disappointing, but, they can be found here. (It is a flashable zip, created by lordmorphous at the Streak Forums. Just directly linking the file here)

In case you do not prefer a flashable zip for the Ringtones, the simple zip with the ringtones included can be found attached.


=================================================


Analog Clock Widget (Related Attachments - ICSAnalogClock_1.0.apk, AnimatedICS_Clock.apk (With seconds hand))

Install like a normal APK File.

If you would like to have an animated seconds hand along with the same clock, refer this post. Again, install like a normal APK.

Applications

There are just 3 at the moment, and it seems the others won't be coming so soon. Of the three, two work well on the Wildfire. Dedicated threads for the ICS Apps can be seen below:

Music 4.0.1 (Doesn't work) - Here. To download the APK, head here
Google+ 2.0.1 - Here
Market 3.2.0 - Here

Enjoy :)

How much does it take to boot up when you change the fonts? Mine is still on the bootanimation after 10 minutes.:confused:

Doesn't take longer than a normal reboot after flashing something. (Or at most, it's slightly longer than normal). Guess you are in a bootloop.

It's weird, I put up that attachment after personally testing it (As shown in the screenshots). I'll check again and revert. :/

Totally agree mate, which is precisely what I have said in the 1st line of this thread. The moment I saw the slide at the event, I KNEW I had to get this font somehow. :D

I can't get it to start. Not even with the original fonts. And I forgot to do a backup first. Any suggestions?

Font looks smooth, although I will have to resize the fonts in nearly all my Widgets if I decide to keep it :( it flashed perfect, there's nothing wrong with the zip.

Anyone flashed it on the cyanogemod stable version 7.1.0.1? Until now looking at the user signatures, worked only on nightly builds.

I am on 7.1.0.1 Stable. (Sig is outdated. :p)

@ Scratch, surprisingly, this is the only font that has worked well for me, including the widgets, but, I get what you mean.

Just flashed the font on my CM7 nightly 220 or something like that with CWM 2.5 and it all worked great.

Just as a though, is there any way to go back to the previous font, besides restoring the backup?

    Why the font's name is not Roboto? It is DroidSans.

    The existing font on your handset is called Droidsans, and any new font must carry the same name in order to replace it successfully. Which is why, any font you use has to be named DroidSans.ttf. (The clock font Clockopia.ttf, the bold one as DroidSans-Bold.ttf and so on)

    Correction. It looks like the font is installed everywhere except the clock on my lockscreen. I am running cm 7.1. How do I fix the clock font?



    First download Font changer from market, make sure u download FontPack_Roboto_E2 from the beginning of this thread. Go to FontPack_Roboto_E2 zip click into it copy fonts folder and place it into the fontchanger folder thats on the root of your sd, Open font changer app click advanced click clocktopia then click fonts and apply clocktopia.ttf and do the same for droidsans-bold.ttf and droidsans.ttf and reboot enjoy...
