Im sick of using font managers/ installers on my S4..
Tried extracting a .ttf file to system/fonts and changed permissions to rw-r-r to match the pre installed .ttf files, then restarted the device. The device didn't load the font in the settings upon reboot. Any ideas? Is there a command I need to push this file to system/fonts?

Ok this is a silly question but I downloaded and unzipped a font file for the Vibrant using file explorer. I extracted the fonts but don't know where they go to use them on my phone.
What folder do I need to put them in?

I am trying to get a shutdown animation and can't seem to get it working properly. I have had to create the video folder via root explorer and transfered corresponding files imto this folder as it is not zip-capable. I have EC01 modem and ROM. What am I doing wrong? I have also tried changing the name to shutdown.zip

Shutdown "videos" are just a series of png images. The files are placed in /system/media/video/shutdown and should be named shutdown_#.png where the # is replaced by it's number in the video sequence.

Did you change the permission settings of the "video" folder you created and of all the .pngs? They all have to be set correctly. The "Video" folder should be rwxr-xr-x or 755, shutdown folder should be the same and all of the .png files should be rw-r--r-- or 644.
Thank you

Was the permission settings the problem?

Make sure your font changer folder isn't in the download section of your SD card. That is all I can think of...

There are 4 selectable Fonts on my SGP5, and an option to downlaod additional ones. I can't seem to find the font folder that these fonts are located (don't appear to be in System/Fonts folder). Is there a way to add fonts (into whatever folder the optional fonts are), without rooting?
You can get apk fonts then manually install them. After installation, the fonts would appear as part of the choices. No root needed

Hi,
When I search using Root Explorer on my SGP5, I see a bunch of .ttf files (truetype font files).
Jim
Where? (other than System/fonts)? Looking for that choco cookie one, I figure if that's not in a system folder, I could just drag ttf fonts there. I'll look for an apk to install them.

If you have a rooted device, you can use the "Font Installer" app.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.font.installer
It has a HUGE number of fonts for you to choose from.

Hi,
Sorry. I forgot to mention the directory. Yes, they're in /system/fonts (lower-case 's' on 'system') on my SGP5.
BTW, I think that you can't just drop the .ttf files into the directory. I think (not sure) that there's also some kind of associated XML file somewhere that is needed (again, not 100% sure).
Jim
I didn't see the same fonts in that folder that are in setting options. I agree you can't drag fonts into that folder unless you are rooted. I just find it odd there is an option to download custom fonts from the market "get fonts online" that will install, and not be able to just drag tt fonts into some folder. I have font changer on my rooted Optimus that work great, just haven't rooted my SGP yet. So far no real reason.
Hello.
I extracted framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk files from Xperia U and installed them to apktool. Then I copied UxpNxtLockScreen.apk to my pc and decompiled it (no errors) than I changed some bools, recompiled it(no errors) and copied recompiled file to system/app.
Result: Xperia lockscreen gone, stock ICS lockscreen appeared.
Then I researched a bit and I learned signing apk may be required. I signed recompiled UxpNxtLockScreen.apk and again I copied it to system/app.
Result: Still stock ICS lockscreen.
Is anyone have a idea?
Change permissions to -rw-r-r.

I already changed permissions. But I guess I found the problem, in before I was including meta-inf/androidmanifest.xml files via winrar, but now i tried putting files to build/apk folder and i recompiled it and it worked.
There was an error in apktool 1.4.3 but i downloaded 1.5 and error disappeared. But it gives me warning still about translations.
Why did you ask?
