Not liking any of the themes or fonts and want to go back to the way things originally were on your G1 without wiping?

Well, good news, I have four updates that will do just that. Same as before, just rename it to update.zip, put on sdcard, boot into recovery, press alt s, and let the magic begin!

I have versions for Haykuru(G), ADP1.1(JF 1.4), ADP1.1H(Holiday), RC8, RC30 and RC33.

Thanks to mannyb for getting me the files I needed to make ADP1.1 update, he also kind of gave me a kick to get working on it. Thanks.

To restore only the fonts download the last link. not that these themes do not restore the fonts, so if you want to restore the fonts along with the theme then flash the font update.zip as well.

RC8: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update_rc8.zip
RC9: http://rapidshare.com/files/216685878/update_rc9-jf.signed.zip
RC30: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update_RC30.zip
RC33: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/RC33-update.zip
ADP1: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update_ADP1.zip
Fonts: http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/update-fonts.zip

Note! If you are going to use this as a template for your own theme, do NOT remove any files from the update as it will cause a looped phone.

The updates below wipe out /system/app so that a clean install can be ensured.


ADP1.1 (JF1.4): http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/ADP1.1-update.zip
ADP1.1H(Holiday): http://www.fightforthepits.com/Androidstuff/ADP1.4H-update.zip

These theme templates are to be considered *BETA* This is because with all the changes that are being made to these builds, meaning the daily and nightly builds, something could possibly change that would render this theme template unusable. Mind you this template has the apps, framework, and the fonts included. This has been confirmed to work on the build created by THEDUDEOFLIFE. This will WIPE out /system/app! So any additional apps stored therein will be gone. The apps available in his build is what will be present upon using this theme template as is. Remove apps from this update as needed to accomodate your needs.

I highly suggest using TheDudeOfLifes build with this theme template. I do not know how it will work on other (G) builds. Be forewarned!

I make no promises, guarantees or anything else of the like by making this file available, you assume all risk that might be incurred by putting this on your phone.

You shouldn't need to resign this, I did it myself, but it never hurts to sign again.

I would recommend flashing to this before flashing to another theme just to make sure that everything is flushed out from the previous themes.

Hey, Mr Stericson, would it be possible for you to add the default theme for ADP1.1 too?

How would I incorporate this into my theme's update.zip in order to use a different font throughout android? I want to replace the digital clock font, but I don't mind if it changes that specific font throughout android.

just replace the font sansdroid with your own and flash the update again. just make sure it has the same name. It will however change the fonts througout the entire phone.


Also guys sorry for the delay I will have a compatible update available today. I promise.

Thanks for the reply Stericson. I guess I should have been more specific with my question. I am releasing a beta tonight, for a theme I have been working on for a while. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how would I "merge" your font update.zip into my theme update.zip? I want to release my theme with a custom font built in. Can I just find the sansdroid font in my theme zip and change it, or do I need to include some modified files to do that?
