From Guides

By modnmotos

Programs needed:

RandomSHX

MotoLang Editor

A language pack off your phone is also required. (CG4 which can be extracted with fb3)

1st

Open RandomSHX and click "Extract BIN files from SHX". You will have a folder in the same place as your Language Pack called "extracted bin". Remember the location of this folder.

2nd

Open up MotoLangEditor 2.2, and open the extracted bin folder. Now browse this folder and select the file that ends with "2.bin". This is your cg4. Open it.

3rd

At the bottom you will see a list of numbers, usually 1-15. You will need to select "01 General Font".

4th

All the characters are now on the right side. Select all the characters except the blank one. You can use ctrl+Shift+Page Down to select them. Just make sure the blank glyph is not selected.

5th

To choose the font you wish to replace, click Font and then “Select Windows Font". Choose your font and size. Select OK. It will tell you how big the font will be in pixels, the best size fonts are usually between 15-17 pixels.

6th

Now select "Replace the Chosen Symbols" (takes a few seconds). From here you can also change the external font and dialing font by selecting the corresponding number at the bottom of the page and repeating the same process.

7th

Save the Langpack.

8th

In RandomSHX click "Create SHX from bin". Then find the .lst file in the "extracted bin folder" and select it. Your font will now be exchanged. It will now show up in the extracted bin folder, with the same name as your language pack. Flash to phone. Done

If you get an error saying pixel size too big then click Symbol/Set height sets and then try different pixel sizes.

I can not guarantee you 100% that this modification is completely safe or will render no ill effects. What I post in my guides is in my own experience with my own phone and/or logical conclusions from information I’ve obtained in the past. I can not take any responsibility for any damage caused by phone modification, even if it is by my instruction. DO ALL MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND ALWAYS MAKE BACKUPS!
