Edit: Nevamind i'm an idiot... i actually read the post properly... its on the OP... my bad...
HELP PLEASE!!!! Well I downloaded this font file to my phones SD card as directed and as i installed a couple at a time to see what they looked like then I would repeat the process install a couple and check them out and all was working well, well after i got done installing the last however many the display feature in the settings app says "The application Setting (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" well it keeps doing it over and over every time i press display so I figured I needed to uninstall the fonts one by one starting with the last one installed and so on and rebooted and battery pulled and no luck! PLEASE SOMEONE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!!

Sounds like you broke your settings, just pull the settings apk from the original rom zip and push it to your phone then reboot.

Forgive me if I may sound a little dumb here but how do you pull it from the original rom then push to phone?......
I am sure one of the fonts did that. it has happened to me before. To pull somethiong out of rom just unzip it. Settings.apk is in system/app folder.
Awesome fonts. Thanks!!

YES PLEASE I redid everything on my phone and its great again but i would love to use a different font but i do not want to use this zip until someone can pin point the problem
the ajax font crashed my settings, i repeat do not install the ajax font, it will crash your phone and constant FC of your display settings, i extracted the original settings .apk from my rom and pushed over and rebooted, that does not work...still FC... not cool...
I pinpointed the one that's causing the force closes. can't remember the exact name because I deleted it right when I discovered which one it was. I do believe it had something like "7con in it. Or something to that extent. Hope this helps everyone that's having this issue.

Uninstall it using Titanium or super manager or whatever you use and it ll be back to normal.
I unistalled them all using Titanium and was able to open up my display settings again.
Edit: post before me beat me to it.
yeah, that doesn't work, i uninstalled all of them hours ago...tried to push the settings apk over using root explorer but root explorer wont allow me to mount the system folder to rw just stays ro, i pushed settings.apk over to the data folder where app is and that did nothing after i replaced settings.apk...should i unistall settings.apk from titanium then reinstall settings.apk from my rom zip? i try to reinstall the settings.apk and it will not allow me to do so..now my launcher is freezing up and force closing on reboots...
Woops same problem. Is it the ajax apk?

Hi & Thanks for the look. My phone is in my signature. Basically a virgin Galaxy Nexus unlocked and rooted.
Any .zip I try to install, even as you suggested above gives me the error. Sigh! I want that inverted stuff.
I love you guys and a newb of sorts I am frustrated in all the wonderful stuff that gets posted without install details.
I cannot help but think if I am trying to install a inverted MMS, Gmail, or People .zip should I not disable or rename the current apps that I am replacing?
I experimented flashing the su.zip and it went ok. So it is not my phone.......I think?
Thanks.

How embarrassing!
Hey tried to install the apk but It keeps failing. Can I change it to .zip and just flash it?

If your talking about the mms.apk,
I use root explorer to navigate to the system/app folder and find the OE mms.apk and rename it to mms.apk.bak to disable it. The icon will disappear from the home screen start bar and app drawer.
I then place the new mms.apk in system/app folder and make sure its permissions are all checked off.
Then go to my app drawer and see if its there and will run. If it does I drage the icon back onto my home bar.
Some devices are finicky. Some require a reboot after a renaming then move it in there. Some require a reboot after every move. Its according to the apk and the device.

Yeh. Just don't have two enabled ones in there.
Having major issue here. I tried to install the .zip when it was posted through cwm and it kept fibbing me an error. So then I downloaded the .APK file and tried to install it, another error. Then I moved it to system/app and when I rebooted I hand no messaging at all. I restored my stock messaging from my titanium backup file, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I really want this messaging system, I love the look. Can anyone give me some ideas?

Hi guys...
I have a problem here. I rooted my Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 through superuser one click and installed an app called ninja-morph from the market. This app can extract the files of an apk and we can replace objects such as image icons, in the folders in order to make them look as we want to. What happened now was that I changed the icons of two of my system apps successfully - Browser & Gallery. Then I thought of changing the icon of settings app, I tried 2 do so but what happened was that it didn't change and it started force closing. Then I went on to the web and searched for many solutions and so I downloaded an apk, shifted it to my phone an tried to install it but it didn't install. After many tries and changes through ninja-morph too I couldn't do anything. Now the problem is that I can't use wifi 'cause it needs settings. I can't even download any alternative 2 use wifi 'cause it needs wifi. I can't to anything related to internet or settings now. And worse, I just Factory Data Reseted to try if anything can be solved, but no... I just deleted all my apps. One way is to reload the software. But is it safe to do it with a root? Because I can't un-root it. Please Help Me Out.

Which rom are you using?
Seems your settinga apk got corrupted. Your options are:
-extract the original settings apk from the rom you're using and place it in system/app (with a root Explorer), with rw-r-r permissions.
-reflash a complete rom (custom through cwm or stock trough Odin)
Also, make a habit of backing up your original stuff before modding.

Hi, anyone knows how I can get widgets from galaxy s3 to my mobile (SE Xperia mini pro - sk17i)?
Yes, you can.
Search for a galaxy s3 rom, and then extract it.
Search for the widgets' apk files, and extract them, too.
Port them to MDPI resolution, then modify them to work on Sony phones and tada... IT'S DONE!
Maybe it sounds easy but it takes a LOT OF TIME...

File TouchWiz50LauncherM2OD. Apk I moved in with exploer root system / app and put in when I wanted to install the application was unsuccessful (the app is not installed). I gave permissions and zaškrtnul. After rebooting, nothing is ever discovered (via inserting widgets or click through the house). I tried to reinstall over exploer root, and wrote it again, but all is not installed. Finally, I have tried to set permissions checked in the first column and the second column only the first or nothing (just like having another application in a folder). I restart again, but again nothing (in widgets choose or click through the home key, with root exploer : application is not installed) any help?
maybe it need system files only found in samsung devices

O. K. I am waiting for you.. After you do it please write me how to do it.
I have always kept the Google Search widget on my homescreen. I have a son who is curious about everything, so I'm often searching things, and I used to touch the mic button to play a song from Google music or dictate a text.
I've had a lot of trouble with my Vibrant lately and have finally gotten FishmanMod Blue 2.2 Frankenstein Slim to work for me. However, I have lost the search widget. When I try to add it from my widget list, all I get is an empty box that says and does absolutely nothing.
I went to Google Play and it said that Search isn't compatible with my device. (The photos looked like Google Now...)
I have tried searching the forums, and came across an .apk that I tried. I moved it from my downloads folder using Root Explorer into the /system/apps folder and rebooted.
Still the same result.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Thanks for reading!
when you found the widget and moved it in ROOT did you change the permissions then reboot or just moved the file and reboot ?

I changed the permissions. Basically what I did was looked up the thread where Woodrube said how to install GTalk as a system app. I copied those instructions in order to move this .apk. The permissions I set are:
Owner: Read, Write, Execute
Group: Read
Others: Read
None of the special permissions are ticked.
you dont need execute bro just check read on owner/group/others and check write for owner reboot and check again also you made sure you deleted the other one that was kinda there but not working ??

Thanks for the reply. For the record, I'm not a bro
Reset the permissions as you suggested. I looked for anything else with "google" and "search" in it and found nothing besides what I knew I had moved there. Rebooted, same results. I only see "search" in my widget list and it is still an empty box.
Okay, looks like I'm just completely missing the Google Search apk. I installed a 3rd party widget from the Play Store, and touching the mic activates the voice search (because I have it installed) but tapping anywhere else on the search box does absolutely nothing.
I need to look for the Google Search app itself. Any ideas on how to get it? I can't find it at all on Play store. I need it for 2.2.
im so sorry mama excuse my stupidity and do you have any other 2.2 roms ? you can open up the rom on your phone or computer and open the system folder and look for the google search apk are you familiar n doing that again my apologies

No problem. Please don't apologize. I fully realize and accept that I'm totally in the minority here. No big deal at all. Just struck me as funny.
That's a really good idea. I'll try that. I've got the voice search shortcut on my homescreen, and I can use that. I just dislike change.
Hopefully all this will cease to be an issue when I get my new phone. The Hubs (DigitalMonk) thinks I should wait for the new Nexus to come out on Tmo. I'm not at all sure I don't just want to stick with what I know and go with the SGSIII.
I feel you honestly I love the nexus but I always feel like those phone are never giving enough power etc for they to be top dollar phones and the last 2 had problems with the bootloader and recovery being wiped and volume /power buttons becoming disabled ill stick with what you know samsung phone might be plasticy but there solid IMO but if you was to get the new.phone its like trying to keep up with buying jordan lol stick to something you like not because its new but because its easier for you

Okay first I need to know what Android version you are running. If you are running 2.x, you can only use the old Google SearchBar Widget version 1.x. Do not try installing Google Now to Android 2.x because it is incompatible. You can extract the Google SearchBar Widget from gingerbread "gapps.zip" files: http://goo.im/gapps
If you are running ICS roms and want to use Google Now, there are modded version to make it working.
If you are using Jelly Bean roms, then you should be able to install Google Now from the Market.
If you are installing Google Now to Jelly Bean by manually moving the apk file to /system/app, the app needs a lib file called "libgoogle_recognizer_jni.so". However, the name of this file can change depends on the version you are using. This file is located in the \lib\armeabi-v7a\ folder within the apk file itself, it needs to be extracted and moved to the \system\lib\ folder. If you install the apk using conventional method, it will automatically extract this lib file to the necessary location, so you wouldn't have to worry about all this.
It's not recommended do this manually, but by either flashing the patch, or installing it from the Play Store.
Here is the patch for ICS roms: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835199
The patch for Jelly Bean roms is located at SlimRoms website in the addons section.
