I wanted to customize more of my icons without using BetterCut, Folder Organizer, etc. Does anyone know how much size is allocated to the /system folder for the Vibrant? I've heard people with Droids have had issues with their phone not booting because they went crazy and loaded up their system folder.
Edit: Just found my answer thanks to Root Explorer 275.82 MB

My phone is rooted, i've cleaned out most of the bloatware and i'm starting to customize it to my own, but i'm trying to find out where to put my music/ringtones/pictures/wallpapers and i'm kind of lost.
When I mount and open it to view files, these are the folders in my internal storage
Android
ClockworkMod
data
DCIM
FeebeRings
layar
TitaniumBackup
newsImage
update.zip
Can someone please tell me exactly where to put all of my things? It would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!
For your Music,, you can put them in any folder,, the OS does a screen on the SD Card on every boot and it will detect your music. So basically just put them in a folder named Music.
The Ringtones go in \system\media\audio\Ringtones
Pictures Goes in DCIM, wallpapers can be put in the same directory cuz when the OS scans the SD Card it will detect your wallpapers as pictures.
The built in wallpapers are in an .APK so you can not have your wallpapers added to the built in...
^ I think you could probably take the TWwallpaper .apk and extract it to find the pics and delete/add them and then rezip it?
system/app/twwallpaperchooser/res/drawable-hdpi
this is where the backgrounds are. I wonder if you could just add/delete them in this folder using root explorer?
I have never done it.. but it seems like it could be done.

So, I have the same question (having just successfully flashed), but am confused about the answer. In the poster's question, as in my phone, there is no "system" directory.
I still have bionix-v-1.3.1.zip in the root directory of the internal memory. Apparently the poster had already removed the .zip file of whatever version he/she flashed from the root directory. The only place I can find a \system\media\audio\Ringtones directory is in that zip file. I see all of my currently available ringtones there, and can't find them in any other directory. (This seems odd, as I'd have expected them to be created somewhere else in phone's internal memory, as part of the flashing process).
Are you saying to just go ahead and treat bionix-v-1.3.1.zip like a directory, and drag a file into the directory in that file?
P.s. I have that "is this so obvious to everybody but me?" feeling, since xKrazYx626 seemed to have no problem understanding your answer
You guys need to get root explorer to view these directories

running auxura , DL TTf files and moved into SYSTEM > FONTS and nothing, i cant seem to find anything on how to install these correctly with out going thru those apps on the market , and which if apps are the only way, which one is the best for custom fonts??? thanks in advance
ok, so i have DL and unzipped the files for the font i was interested in running, i move the file over to the sytem folder and paste it in there, nothing, am i pasting in the wrong folder???? root folder system>fonts>
i did notice that there were many fonts in that folder and none were the system fonts that are displayed , i will continue to try to figure this out, unless someone who knows wants to chime in
Okay, maybe I'm retarded, I've dug through the suspected files and searched all over the internet.
Where does android specify the system fonts?
I would prefer to change it the right way, rather than just renaming files.
Is that possible?
Thanks

Weird no-one has replied to this.
In the android source code, navigate to this directory:
android/system/frameworks/base/data/fonts
Once there, copy paste any fonts into the folder (I usually just rename it to DroidSans.ttf and DroidSans-Bold.ttf so that the system picks it up without much configuration),
If you aren't going to rename or you want to add extra fonts, this needs to be specified in the Android.mk file in the same directory so it gets added and utilized by the system correctly.
Hope I helped and Happy ROM-ing
What about leaving the font name as it is? The system won't recognize it as a font even with the ttf type?

Hey all, I'm a noob. But I got my NT pretty much where I want it to be. I realize now that the extra space is in the data file system (yeah, I can use the extra gigs). Now, my biggest problem is that my .cbz .cbr files do not have a default program or association. This is a problem because my root accessible comic readers will read to the data folder but when you open up the data folder it says nothing is there. At this point, I just need a comic app that links up .cbz .cbr s as the default program for those file types so that I can open the file from on of my file expolorer programs. Or I need to figure out a way that allows my rooted comic apps to actually go into the data folder. Why won't these programs look into the file system past data?
Now,
I did try the permanence method to link a usrdata file to the mnt/internal file, but while it creates the mnt/internal file it does not fill it in with my files...which sucks (I just folled the instructions and I think it may require the snowball mod). I do like the B&N reader for my epubs, so I don't want to use the snowball mod
And even in snowball could not work, in OP is posted that many apps can still be incompatible

I couldn't find a clear answer for setting up UCCW so I'm hoping someone can explain exactly how the widgets created should be inside the UCCW directory...
some of the new clocks, battery bars, etc. I downloaded come with just a "UZIP" file, some come with a UZIP file & an image and some come with a whole directory that has weather images, fonts, etc. inside.
In the posts & threads I found previously that didn't really explain how to set up the new widgets, they just said "put everything inside the UCCWoutput folder"....
now, if one widget I download unzips to a folder with all that widgets' contents inside should I just put that folder inside the UCCWoutput folder?
or do the fonts go into the "fonts" folder on the SD card and everything else go into the UCCWoutput folder?
right now I have almost everything placed in the UCCWoutput folder...no folder for images or files or font or separate folders for separate widgets...everything is just kind of in there...and only a few of the widgets show up when I try to add one to my screens...I thought maybe that each widget should have it's own folder but from what I read in previous posts I found the explanations were pretty vague...."put so-and-so inside the UCCWoutput folder"....that doesn't explain anything really since some widgets have 1 file and some have a UZIP file, a font file and a bunch of images...
just trying to get this straight so I can use this correctly....and I searched for a good hour & a half without finding a somewhat clear explanation on how to handle all the images, fonts, etc...
all help is appreciated!:laugh:
no one has any input on setting up one of these widgets?
just trying to figure out if each widget gets it's own folder or not because like 5 or 6 widgets in my directory have different names but they're all the same thumbnails...
the uccwOutput directory is fine but the other one is the one acting crazy...

Well.. Mine is kind of a mess too but I do know it helps to create a folder on the root of your sdcard ( or whatever internal/external/sdcard0/sdcard1 ) labeled fonts and place the fonts in there not the folder for the font. I do not have anything in my uccwoutput folder I have just been putting all my uzips under the regular uccw folder, opening uzips from there, then the folders are created in the same directory where the uzips are. hope this helps let me know if you need anything else
