[Q] Rooted, how to root recovery/bootloader ? - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i finally got my HTC hero back to live
so now i've rooted again using Universal Androot
and going to replace fonts and do other testing and learning to develop
whats next? i believe i need to root the recovery/bootloader so it doesn't give me signature verification failed?
and for fonts i can just put the font that supports Arabic with the name of all fonts?
DroidSerif-Bold.ttf
DroidSerif-Regular.ttf
DroidSerif-Italic.ttf
DroidSansMono.ttf
DroidSansFallback.ttf
DroidSerif-BoldItalic.ttf
DroidSans-Bold.ttf
Clockopia.ttf
DroidSans.ttf
or something will blow out if i overwrite them with another font ?

I think you have to flash an unlocked SPL? This should allow you to use non-signed ZIP files. There is an article on the forums about it, with links to the necessary files. Just do a quick search for "unlocked SPL", just make sure it is for you phone and not a different one.

This will not work by default in stock.You have to change one binary value in bools.xml in framework-res.apk and then edit build.prop.Follow this tutorial and then edit build.prop.

I made all steps but not working on 2.3.4 but i saw something is it normal that when i paste with root explorer the build.prop file to the system folder it shows the old on with old date etc. i have the clue that maybe it doesn´t copy it in the folder??? Dunno but it is always the same date there. My phone is rooted.

Did you use apktool to edit the values,put resources.arsc in the original and then copied modified framework-res.apk into the /system/framework/framework-res.apk ? Was it copied there? If not check that root explorer is mounted in read/write mode.Same for build.prop.I think you didn't copy it.

No i downloaded the finished apk from the thread the crt.zip and in the zip is the apk also i tried it with apk tool but windows 7 tell me something with "java" i have java on pc but it not working.

I made all steps wisely result is a bootloop with white screen
I am sick of it!!
I tried all stuff but that **** animation will not work.
I think it only works if the coderomv1 is flashed with the stock rom there is no way to get that animation working i tried all with the framework-res.apk no success with a theme no success i give up now no crt animation for me because i don´t know what can i do only flashing the coderomv1 but that i wouldn´t do because i not want the coderomv1.

You had to set permisssions after copying framework-res.apk -rw -r -r.same with build.prop
With CRT animation enabled,you will lose your samsung boot screen in stock kph....I have managed to enable boot screen animation only through cf-root kernel.I don't have coderom but crt is enabled through this method and have brought custom boot animation through cf-root kernel.

Help Changing Fonts

Please someone make a flashable
zip for google logo fonts, i can't use fontchanger as im on Stock ICS 4.0.4

you have to manual override if you want to use that font on your phone.....
using root explorer, navigate to system/fonts....replaced all Roboto fonts inside that folder with yours fonts choice....
remember to rename your fonts choice to Roboto (same as default) in order it to works....
make backup first incase there something wrong....

[Q] changing font

hi
when i had "desire c" with arabic rom i change driodkufi-regular.ttf with driodnaskh-regular.ttf and change permision then my arabic font changed but now in desire x , when i do that (driodnaskh-regular.ttf=358kb and droidkufi-regular.ttf=79kb) and restart my phone not any thing changed and when check the /system/fonts i see that droidkufi-regullar.ttf comeback to 79kb again ,
is there any body know how can fix the fonts that after restart phone dont replace that with the orginal font?
thanks
HTC implemented some sort of security to their newer devices where you cannot write to the system as the kernel will reset it.
What you can do is adb push the font in recovery, or make a flashable zip for the font and flash it in recovery.
Basic thing is any change to system, to make it work properly you need to do it at recovery level

thanks for guide
is there any way or references or others that i can make a .zip file to flash font from recovery
thanks again
Here is the stock fonts for my ROM which is a flashable zip.
What you can do is open it with an archiver (I use 7-zip), and replace it with all the fonts from your current ROM and name it as stock fonts (you need this if something goes wrong as not all fonts may work for your device).
Then make another one and put in all the fonts that you want to change and name it as modded fonts zip.
So flash the modded fonts zip and see how it goes.
If some fonts make your device stuck, reflash back your stock fonts zip.

Use Aroma File Manager from recovery to do the same copying you do when the phone is on. You have he link in DesX Index.

I found a way to defeat the write protection on other HTC devices. It might work on this one device too, if somebody wants to help, send me a pm.

hello babakhad, I have some question..
I see there's so many fonts on the Stock_fonts.zip, so I just have to delete it all and put only one font that i want to use? Only one .ttf file? If I only put one .ttf file, will the font in the lockscreen change too?

Font Help - Installing Font Causes Bootloop

Yo!
This problem is from a phone using Android 4.1.2 JB--TouchWiz.
So I'm trying to install a new font to my phone--Roboto Condensed-Light to be exact.
I took another Flashable Font I had and renamed and replaced all the necessary fonts in the .zip file.
When I tried to flash the font, the phone went into bootloop.
Is there a certain way fonts must be in order for them to work/install correctly?
Or should I just put the fonts on the SD card and push them to the font folder one-by-one?
Thanks!

The easiest way to install font's to your device is to use a font install app such as Font Installer by JRummy. What you can do is put the font on your sdcard and then using the font installer app select the font you wish to install from your sdcard and the app will install the font for you. As always be sure to make a NANDROID backup in recovery before installing any font's or performing any MOD's just to be on the safe side.

What language are you trying to get that's not already built into the phone? For future reference, it is best to change the framework via recovery, if at all.
I want to get arabic language on my mobile.
and the 4.4.2 stock rom delete many languages on it so even morelocal app cant add any language.

You might as well flash a custom ROM for it. Or you will have to replace every singe files on the device as they all have ref to other languages. Yes they remove alot of them. Like my device doesn't even have that option and none I have used have, they have all needed alot of work and none work completely.
