Where is Helvetica S .ttf? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good morning.
I use Helvetica S font and want to use it in Jotre calendar (an excellent calendar by the way, give it a whirl if you haven't tried it).
I've dug deep with Root Explorer and can't find the .ttf anywhere, only the other bundled fonts (default and Rehotalko). I've got the apk, but obviously I can't "install" that into Jotre.
Am I missing something? Can it be done? I know Helvetica isn't a "free" font, but I thought that the .ttf must be there somewhere.
As always thanks for any assistance.

Maybe try nabbing it from here or grabbing it from your OS install.
or maybe try using apktools to rip open the apk and see if theres a tff in it

Thanks and good morning veyka, all well?
Way too early for adk and cmd, will try the tool in about 5 coffees time..
I'd seen those fonts, and many others, all the freebies are a bit meh, IMO.
I'll see how I go with my tool (fnurr), if it doesn't work I'll - grudgingly - open my wallet.

The ttf is embedded in the Helvetica apk in /system/app.

Thanks, gathered that - digging the little bugger out is the braintwister
More googling..
Edit - Just had a thought - I'm not being illegal here am I? Copying an installed, bundled font to another app is OK?

.APK Files (Editing the real way)

I have used APKTOOL/APK Manager Windows 7/Windows XP (x32 bit) and not having much luck with it
Basically what I am trying to do is edit the homescreen (to re-arrange icons + widgets) in 'res/xml/default_workspace.xml'
I decompile/edit/compile/upload and all I get is a black screen (I only edited 1 line to try it inside 'default_workspace.xml'.
Can anyone assist please?

Well try AXMLPrinter instead of apktool? It is sometimes better. TBH I don't like apktool too much. It's a good tool, but I prefer smali/baksmali and AXMLPrinter

Yeah and I really want to know, how do you want to remove some code from XML file using AXMLPrinter

Haha. good point. I wasn't really thinking as I posted (I should really be working just now ) AXML printer is good to a point, but apktool (once i got it working due to some stupid quirk on my PC which was pretty silly) does allow the extra customisation.
I should really shut up and concentrate
lol sorry mate

I am working on a similar thing for RC2 of my ROM I'm at work at the moment so I don't have it convenient, but I think it's HTCSetupWizard.apk or SetupWizard.apk or something like that in /system/app - however, if I remember correctly, it is disabled and doesn't do that by default (the Android with the animated hand) so you would need to decompile the app and enable it. It's a simple .xml edit, from my understanding.

Call of Duty ELITE (apk) updated 2/11/12

DOWNLOAD
saw it in market and DL'd/installed fine for me on CM7 ba2tf. pretty poor port though.
Oh okay cool. Well damn I don't know why it says incompatible for me on Weekly 4..? I guess If somebody else is having the same prob as me the apk is now easy to find.
Is it full screen for you? Toggling compatability mode in Spare Parts didnt seam to work for me on this app.

nope, it's a crappy WVGA port with no button functionality, just the stupid iphone style interface.

So the CoD ELITE app was released on Android today! But NOT on (my) Atrix! But I transfered the APK from my Captivate and it works just fine!
The resolution is off, it does not take up the full screen. Maybe one of you mad scientist can dissect it for us?
It is just a port of the iOS version so it leaves a little to be desired, but at least it does work even though the Market says its not compatible..

Thank you WiredPirate for posting the apk. Surprisingly, this app is not available in certain countries like mine. And you just helped me (and probably others) a lot by doing this.
You are welcome!
YEAH, thanks a lot WiredPirate, it's not available in Panama either...
Sure, no problem. If they ever update it to fix the resolution problem I will post that apk for yall!
cod elite
it's on the market for atrix now. terribly made app. just ported from iphone. doesn't fill up full screen or have any button functionality. actually, doesn't have much functionality at all. basically check stats and that's it. stupid iphone ports
=)
Thank You very much
Yea, I wish they would fix the resolution. I keep seeing resolution fixes in the updates but still no luck
Hey WiredPirate, do you care to post the updated .apk? I would greatly appreciate it.
[EDIT] I mean, I greatly appreciate the effort thus far, but when I load up the app, it won't show the login form. Just the background with a banner at the top with the logo on it. :/

Ok probably a really dumb question, but I'm not finding an answer.
You say to PUSH the app to system/app folder. What do you mean by this? I'm on a cutom ROM (FastAmaze) and am using ES File Explorer with Superuser access. I can't copy & paste the .apk into that folder.
Do I need to use a different directory app? I'm also not seeing how to change the rights.
Thanks for the remedial help. HA
I use easy installer from the market. It installs the apk for you

Ok you have two choices.
You must be rooted.
Please do a nanandroid in-case apps dont work.
Option One:
Save Jelly Bean Apps on your phone.
Download from your phone or from your computer to phone.
>>> Rootexplorer <<<
Install on android device.
Open rootexplorer.
Accept root permission.
At the top click MOUNT R/W until it turns to MOUNT R/O.
Find were you saved the Jelly Beans apps on your sdcard by clicking the sdcard folder.
Long press the app and click copy.
Go back to the Parent Folder.
Click the system folder.
Click the app folder.
Now paste the app you copied from your sdcard.
Find the app that you copied and long press it.
Click Permissions.
Make sure the first the column marked READ has OWNER, GROUP, & OTHERS checked.
Make sure the column marked WRITE has ONLY OWNER checked.
Uncheck everything else.
Press okay.
REBOOT.
Option Two:
If you don't already have it. Install Android Sdk on your computer.
Make sure your correct drivers are installed.
Make sure debugging is on your phone.
Open a command prompt.
Direct your path to the sdk folder.
Ex: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools"
Push the apps to system\apps.
Ex: adb push Calender.apk system\app
Dude's got a girl owning 'em on the tech turf, lol. Props to her, don't forget that if you're gonna use ADB to push the files, unless you have a modded boot.img, you'll need to reboot into recovery, mount system partition in the partition menu, then use the adb command: adb remount. And also please put the files you wanna push into your sdk's adb folder, because if you leave it in the folder you downloaded it to and not place it in the sdk folder, you'll be pushing nada to your phone.

No one is smarter than the other, each individual has their own line of interest, this happens to be mine and most dudes, most girls aren't even remotely interested in electronics for anything but show and tell, that's why it's pretty rare to see a girl so way ahead of most guys on a tech forum that goes in depth. So nope, I ain't late my dude, I'm just amused at how much more interest she has in it than they do, lol.
Perfect...Worked like a charm...The RootExplorer was the issue. I don't mess with the SDK tools unless I REALLY have to.
And for those giving me grief about being owned by a girl? I don't care where the info & knowledge comes from. She's rockin it, that's all that matters.
Thanks again kemimarie!

[Q] n00b wanting to make a XMAS gift/app for my GF

So it's the holidays and I'm very very poor right now. I've trying to think of things to make for my lady, and one thing that came to mind was an app! lol, she's on her phone a lot and she knows i love messing with my phone so I thought it'd be a cool idea to make her a custom app, something simple, maybe with a splash screen that shows a pic of us, and then into a love note, followed by some pics of us.
So that's my idea, I've tried making this on one app maker, the crappy conduit one, but every time i installed the APK on my phone (nexus5) it never showed any of the stuff i made on their site.
So here's the thing, does anyone know of a good and easy app maker I could use that would allow me to basically design it, and have it make the code for me, and the APK? I have eclipse setup on my system so i may be able to any editing and whatnot...but, seeing as time is a factor (i only have a few days) id love to get it done in a matter of a day at least.
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated, im no coding genius but i can follow directions quite well lol. Thanks!

oh nah man, i dont need it on the play store. this is just a personal thing for her. I would send her the apk to install on her phone (i'll probably be right next to her to show her how) and then she would just open it, read the note and swype through some pics of us. I just think it'd be cool for her to have an entire custom app that's her and I, instead of just some slideshow online that anyone can do these days.
