Help please. I've been searching for days for the default font folder of the Galaxy S III at the internal sd card. Unfortunately I can't seem to find it. Is it really hidden by any chance? Same with the default folder for the S III Wallpapers ?
My phone is not rooted, everything is stock. I've heard of font changer but it requires root. Searching for a nonroot solution if it is possible.
Thank you for your patience and tolerance.
Fonts are in /system/fonts but you will not be able to acces to this folder without root
For wallpaper, there is no folder: there are in one of the apk from samsung which should be in /system/app but no access to this folder without root

download it from here and install

Or you can use ES Explorer w/ root access, then go to /system/app/. Select 'secwallpaperchooser.apk' and extract all the files wherever you like using ESExplorer menu on the right (let's say SD card). You will find all the .jpg in Storage/ExtSdCard/res/drawable-xddpi folder.
Hope it'll help

Hy.
I want to paste files to system folder from sd card via root explorer (not old version), but it says that i cant because the file system is read-only.I know ,i had to press the button to mount the folder to r/w, but i havent got tis button anywhere.I repeat: im not using old version of root explorer (i tried 2.5.1 and 2.9.3 but the same problem). My phone is xperia x8 (android v 2.1.1).Please help.Sorry for my english, its not my native language
I use File Expert but I had the same problem. I don't know whether this solution is available or not, but it's worth a shot right?
You should first go to settings ---> File explorer settings ---> 'tick' Root Explorer
Then the mount option should appear. Try and see
using file export and I can't paste to system folder.

I'm trying to paste a file to the system folder, I have root expert ticked and mounted the folder. But it keeps saying "operation failed", please help.
In File Expert you should mount system as read-write manualy no matter that root explorer option is ticked on.

Download root explorer. Download any roms. Put it on your sd card.
Using root explorer, click the Rom you downloaded. Go to system/app find email.apk extract it.
Now go back to extracted folder.
Should be in sd/extracted
Copy and back out to root of our sd card
On top it should say"/" on top right corner.
Go to system/app and paste it.
Reboot

I have asked this same question in the dev section ...im waiting for an answer ....will inform you
you know you are rooted when you use XDA more than FB
Do you tried to install from Google PLay?
Install QuickPic, download Titanium Backup
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Press menu > Filters > type QuickPic > Apply > Backup/Restore > long click at QuickPic > Convert to system app > reboot
If you want to delete stock gallery app then find it in titanium backup and simply remove it, or do it with root explorer.
I'd say that it would be easiest with Titanium Backup, the instructions that Brajano95 gave should be accurate, you dont have to reboot though.
If you're gonna do it manually you will have to change the permission using eg. root explorer. Tap Mount R/W -> tap and hold -> permission -> rw-r--r--

Devils77 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This requires root!
The sounds (by default) are stored in /system/media/audio/ui/
!NOTE: This is for system/OS sounds. Notifications etc are not stored here!
Screen touch sound is "TW_Touch.ogg" and back and menu button sounds are "S_HW_Touch.ogg"
If you would like to change the sound to something else, find a mp3 or something that you would like to use then convert it to a .ogg format.
Can be done on this website: htt$p://audio.on$line-convert.$com/convert-to-ogg *Remove $ symbols from URL
Then rename your new .ogg to either "TW_Touch.ogg" or "S_HW_Touch.ogg" dependent on what sound you would like to change.
Place the .ogg file on your sd card and move it the mentioned directory and overwrite (delete) the original .ogg file (backup first).
Then remember to set the permissions of the .ogg file to "rw-r--r--" and make sure it is named correctly, it is case sensitive.
Reboot system and enjoy your new sounds :good:
I tried everything that you said and it doesn't work for me. When i try to move/overwrite the file it tells me "Cannot copy or move file". When i try to delete the orginal file first it tells me "Warning - Could not delete". I am on stock rom and rooted. When i try to change permissions to the original files it gives me error "unable to chmod /system/media/...bla bla". What to do?
Ok. I got it. Thanks for everything!! Thumbs up!

Your root has failed, download root checker to see.
If it fails you will need to re-root with CF-Root.
Very Awesome. Thanks for the help.
I am running into an issue. My phone has been verified as rooted by rootchecker. The only way I can see the root directory on the phone is with Astro File Manager. Once in the correct folder, I can see the TW_TOUCH.OGG file and have a replacement. However I can't write to the folder. I can't even rename the original. Checking the properties of the file I don't see any notations that the file or folder are write protected. I assume the entire drive is per se with the exception of the \SDCARD directory.
Is there a better tool for doing all this? I'd like to have something I can use from a PC as well.
Thanks,
Karl
Use Super Manager or Android Commander .

First you need to Root.
There are good guides around here.
I'd recommend ES File Explorer
Download it then
Open ES File Explorer
Menu > Settings > Root settings.
Check Root Explorer
Click Grant when SU popup appears.
Check Up to Root
and Check Mount File System.
Now it will copy succesfully to the system folder.
Slightly easier
No need to do renaming. Save desired oggs to your ext sd card.
Use Root Browser (ES doesnt seem to go to system no matter)
Use Root Browser. Go to your ext sd card. Long press on the desired .ogg. Copy it.
navigate to the folder l /system/media/audio/ui/ as instructed above.
Click paste. If your file is named correctly it will ask 'replace?' click yes. Do the same for the other file.
Reboot. You have to reboot. How it still plays water droplets before rebooting Idk. But reboot and you back to clicky goodness. (who thought of that water droplet. Chinese water torture.)
Edit: I attached the two files. Change from .txt to .ogg.
operation failed?

Rw-r-r. In a grid of 1 to 9, top left to bottom right, 1,2,3,4 ticked. 5,6,7,8,9 unticked. Should be immediate but if not, just reboot.

There are some interesting settings that you can use in this application. Many of which are hidden, it worked on the origianl Kindle Fire, and I tryed to just use it to get keyboards fixed, and then I was messing with it. Just install apk, doesnt need to be in system/app
Not really sure if its any use besides a couple hidden settings. I ended up getting into the actual ICS settings menu, its interesting to mess around with this.

Lets you add keyboards
I was able to change keyboards with this app.
1.Download nookcolor tools (I found it in the xda forum, not in the market)
2.Download whatever keyboard you want
3. Open up root browser or whatever file explorer you have
4. Click on the apk file for the keyboard you want
5. Select the view option
6. Open the lib folder
The keyboard I downloaded (hacker keyboard) has 4 folders in lib folder
7.I selected the armeabi-v7a folder. Inside you'll find a something.so file (mine was libjni_pckeyboard.so)
8. Click on the .so file and select extract. Mine extracted it to /sdcard/extracted
9.I then copied the .so file from the /extracted folder, opened up the /system/lib folder, and pasted it
10. Move the keyboard apk file to the /system/app folder
11.Reboot the kindle fire and open up the nookcolor tools app
12. Click choose keyboard. Your downloaded keyboard should now be available as an option.
WALAA
I did this just to get a keyboard with a ctrl button. It should work with any keyboard app.
HOWEVER... in landscape mode you can only see like 95% of the keyboard. It works perfect in portrait mode though. Sorry for the long step list. All of these steps may not be necessary but this works. Keyboard will not be available until reboot. Will say updating or upgrading on startup.
Hah..12 steps!!
After every reboot , Swiftkey crashed and i must reinstall from the /system/app/ directory and must click Ok to overwrite an existed Systemapp. Then Swiftkey works perfectly. After a reboot Swiftkey crashed again.
can u help me?

It works on mine. Did u install from market? My launcher did this until I installed it from a non-market source. Try googling swiftkey apk and then follow the steps above. Also make sure you move the .so file.
