Trick to prevent from losing RAM while applying theme - Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps

Ok dudes so back in the day (hahah a few months ago) when I was using a Moto G as my daily driver I found this very useful trick to gain some more free RAM and still enjoy a nice CM theme.
All credits to the user named Hackiee whom method I'll quote now here, mentioning that I already tested it on my Note2 with Beanstalk and latest Agni kernel and I can confirm that it works.
" Hello friends,
As, you might have noticed that*
Whenever you apply a custom theme in the CyanogenMod Theme Engine
you get short of some amount of RAM permanently consumed by that theme's resources.*
Quote:
What happens when you apply a theme?
According to Official CM's Sources
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Themes#Nuts_and_bolts
'The theme packs tell the Android system that instead of uses a resource or asset from the OS itself, redirect those requests to the resource or asset specified in the theme itself. Since the themes are self contained, it's not actually interfering or altering (ie hacking) the application, just making the visual styles change.'
In short, those resources needed for the theme to give you that look on your system.
It loads them into the memory (RAM) of your device, to get them ready whenever you want
So, here is a trick to apply theme without loosing RAM
You should have TWRP as it has a file manger and its best.
Steps:
1. Download and install your favourite custom themes
2. Now, choose the different customizable options available,
i.e. Status Bar, Fonts, Icons, Navigation,Wallpaper, and others as you wish and apply them.
3. Now after applying the theme,
Goto Settings -> Notification Settings ->Notification Access*
And unselect the 'Theme Chooser' app
And Reboot normally
4. Now again reboot and Get into your Custom Recovery (TWRP) having file manager,
Go to /data/resource-cache/
And delete that folder completely.
And boot your Phone normally.
5. Enjoy your Phone with your custom theme, without loosing anything. "

[Jan 28] Stock Quotes & Charts Page for ThrottleLauncher v1.3

After searching high and low for a simple but eye-appealing stock quote and stock chart utility that I could use with ThrottleLauncher, I finally gave up and put one together myself. I call it ThrottleStocks.
I would like to acknowledge APBilbo for creating ThrottleLauncher. It ROCKS! I would like to also acknowledge the "PocketStock Center" work over on TreoCentral.com which helped give me the idea.
Release History:
V1.3 (28 Jan 09)
- changed chart source to www.marketwatch.com
- added week, month, 3month, 6month, 1year, and 2year stock charts
- added ability to edit stocks you've already entered into the database.
Important: If you are updating from a previous version then you will need to edit each of the stocks in your portfolio and change the chart stock symbol from the old Google one to the new www.marketwatch.com symbol.
V1.2 (26 Jan 09)
- fixed path to Mortscript and stock download scheduling
V1.1
- tried to improve error handling with stock downloading
Pre-Requistes:
1. You need ThrottleLauncher 0.9.6 installed (obviously)
2. The installation instructions below assume you are using APBilbo's TouchFlo3D theme that he distributes with ThrottleLauncher
3. You need Mortscript installed
4. You have the Segui fonts installed in your Windows\Font directory. If you don't you can find the fonts attached here. Unzip and place in windows\font directory.
To install:
1. Extract the attached zip file into your ThrottleLauncher\Setups\TouchFlo3D directory.
2. Start ThrottleConfig and Configure TouchFlo3D. On the new Stocks page choose whether you want the "Advanced" or "Basic" layout.
3. Enable the new "Stock" page in the TouchFlo3D config. Save and reload ThrottleLauncher
4. When ThrottleLauncher restarts you'll see a blank Stock page with buttons along the bottom. The first thing you'll need to do is click on the Settings button (it looks like a gear). This will open up the stocks config menu where you can perform the following;
a) Setup stock quote download schedule. Set the start and end time to download quotes, and the interval in minutes. Note that stocks will only be downloaded on week-days.
b) Enabled/Disable Stock Intra-Day chart downloads. If you are using the "Advanced" layout in ThrottleLauncher you'll need to Enable intra-day chart downloading. If you just want the basic layout you can leave chart downloading disabled and save on data downloading
c) Add stock. Here you'll be asked for the stock name, and the stock symbols. Note that currently it asks for both the stock symbol on Yahoo and on Google. The reason for this is that the quotes are downloaded from Yahoo while the charts are downloaded from Google and the stock symbols are not always the same on both sites. You'll be asked how many stocks you own and how much you paid for them...you can leave this blank as currently this data is not used.
d) Delete stock. Enter the stock symbol and it will delete it from the database.
e) Edit stock. Enter the stock symbol of the stock you want to edit...this will let you then modify its name and stock symbols.
f) Force chart refresh on exit. By default the 1month to 2 year stock charts are only downloaded once per day. If you select this option it will force an update of all the stock charts.
g) Exit. When you exit the setup it will automatically start a download of the stock data.
5. After the stock data has downloaded you will likely need to restart throttlelauncher in order for the stock page to display correctly.
Known Bugs/Issues:
This is a work in progress. The known issues are;
1. When stock charts are downloading there is a progress window that appears. I don't know yet how to get rid of this...but am looking into it.
2. ThrottleLauncher is currently unable to have a dynamic list. Currently the stocks.xml file is hardcoded to have 9 stocks displayed on the page. If you have more or less stocks in your portfolio you may want to edit the stocks.xml file and adjust the file accordingly. Look for the text in="1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9" and add or remove numbers accordingly. Note that there are two spots in the xml file where this is used. Hopefully this will get fixed in a future release of ThrottleLauncher
3. The stock tabs along the right side of the screen (in advanced layout) do not update their color correctly. This is a TL bug that is said to be fixed in the next TL release
4. Clicking on the stock chart is suppose to take you to the yahoo web-page for the stock. This doesn't work correctly at the moment.
Nice work, looks great!
my god this is great
there are people in this forum who're like Logitech. everything they do is impeccable.
one request tho.. and i hope it's doable.
is there a chance you could convert it to a regular today plugin so that people who're not using throttle launcher can use it?
This is awesome. great job!
Installed this and this causes my throttlelauncher not not load.

Sorry!
A couple things to check;
1) You are using the TouchFlo3D theme that APBilbo released with TL v0.9.6
2) Prior to enabling TL you ran TL config and configured TouchFlo3D (enable Stock Tab)
3) Try running the StockConfig.mscr mortscript before enabling TL... It can be found in TouchFlo3D\Throttle Stocks\mscr
Ant plans to port this to the VGA Iphone theme?? The homepage has room for two new programs...
Thanks
24 hr Review
Using Hermes 6.0 and TL 9.6 and no problems whatsoever , well done! It runs faster than my shares are falling and looks great (only used advanced version to date). Incidentally I did not install to TouchFlo3d but straight into my own custom theme yet it still worked ok except I lost my own custom footer icons, I can still see the xml so am placing them into black n blue tonite. Thanks again
I've updated the mortscripts to try and make the stock download process more tolerant of errors (particularily timeouts). See 1st post for update.
I still haven't figured out how to stop Mortscript from display the download progress window...
I've updated the theme and scripts to now include week, month, 3month, 6month, 1year, and 2year stock charts. See the first post for the new v1.3
Version 1.3
Working very well, a good improvement, thanks.
thanks to you Great Job man!!!
Your program looks good from description but I couldn't install it correctly since I am using Throttle Launcher 1.0 RC1 (the config.xml doesn't work). Any plans to upgrade to work for TL 1.0? I would love to try and get it working. Or perhaps you could guide me in tweaking so it will work for TL 1.0. I am newbie at this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you use the TouchFlo2d theme, the Stock tab is already there. You can download that theme in the ThrottleLauncher website.
stock quotes are real time or 20 min delay?
thanks

These are not real-time sources. I'm not sure what the delay is.

[APP][05.OCT.09 new beta]Application for theme switching in WM 6.5 Titanium

There are more and more themes coming up for WM 6.5 Titanium, which are not only tsk, colors etc, but also change greatly the Titanium....x......cpr file and the registries. When one wants to change from one such theme (for example WM7 project) to another (for example Shadow Neo Skin) the former theme has to be removed, and the new one has to be installed and customized, sometimes the plugins have to be reinstalled.
The theme switcher has the following capabilities:
- Backing up the existing theme, grafics files, cpr files, registries, so that it can easily be restored
- Installing the new selected theme
New beta release:
Supported resolutions QVGA, WQVGA, QVGAsquare, VGA, WVGA, VGAsquare... It only works with WM 6.5. You need to have MortScript installed.
IMPORTANT: First of all this will be replacing your Titanium cprs and bronzeres.dll files, so pls. make a backup of your original files.
Installation:
1. Unzip the enclosed file TitaniumThemes to Storage Card.
2. Have all the plugins installed that you want to have in your Titanium screen, so that
the themes can load them.
3. It is not necessary to install all themes, as i have collected all images needed by the
theme and stored them in folders inside the TitaniumThemes folder, so the images will not
clutter your Windows folder. The modded cprs point to this images. Below you find the
links to the corresponding themes threads, so that you can check out how the theme
looks, and say thanks to the theme designer for his nice work.
4. Run the "Install Titanium Theme Changer.mscr" from the apps folder in TitaniumThemes,
choose your resolution and click ok, this will install all supported themes cprs in Windows
and a shortcut for "Titanium Theme Changer. mscr" in Windows/Start Menu/Programs.
5. Run the shortcut "Titanium Theme Changer", select the theme you want to apply and in
a few seconds it will appear on your screen.
6. Apply the tsk of your choice
As said it is a beta version and it might have still some bugs, or errors in the cprs, as i only have a QVGA device, pls. report them.
I could have not done this without the help of many people, like BigDaddyG, RoryB and egoist6 from the MortScript thread, TWolf, drkfngthdraglrd and many more, so thanks to all.
Also please consider that i in no way designed the themes, i only modified the cprs for easy switching, so all thanks go to the themes builders.
Most of the plugins are supported in my cprs, like
All standard plugins
TWolf Multiplugin

I am working on such a theme switcher, done in MortScript. I have a folder named TitaniumThemes on my Storage Card. Inside there i have a folder backup where i save the current theme (Titanium_XXXxXXX.cpr (both P and L), bronzeres.dll and CHome registry). I have also a folder for each of the themes, currently WM7, TitaniumBuffed, TitaniumShadowNeo, Bliss, BlackDragon, where i stored the same files for the theme tweaked and set up to my liking. All themes have first to be installed, as some of them store in Windows some files like icons etc, or they create a folder under Program Files with those files. I tried first manually to swap this files and it work very nicely. Now i am trying to make Scripts to do this work, but i am a complete noob in scripting and have following problems:
1. I need to disable Windows Default to be able to copy bronzeres.dll to Windows, and i dont know the command for it.
2. I need to read and save the whole CHome registry (export) and also to import the themes CHome registry. This should be doable with MortScript but i found only how to import/export single keys and dwords in the manual.
3. At the end i have to enable again Windows Default.
When i could solve this points i would have a simple script based program to backup/restore the current theme, and to switch themes choosing from a menu.
you should be able to replace bronzeres.dll without the need to disable titanium. In order to refresh titanium after changing the theme you can use chomerefresh.exe provided by appstar. PM me If I can be of any help

In fact that was my first approach, to copy the files to windows and then refresh chome, but it is not working. Even when copying manually the files with total commander, i can do that for both titanium cpr files, but as soon as bronzeres is copied an error message comes up. So it looks like bronzeres needs titanium to be disabled before copying, when i disable titanium manually the script copies everything correctly to windows. So i have to find the command to disable/enable titanium.
On the other hand i have still problems to find the way to backup/restore the complete chome registry. I tried also to look inside the Sashimi script to find out how it is done there, but i am too much of a noob and could not figure it out (too many subroutines pointing from one to the other).
I had thought about doing this before but with a more ambitous approach that would have required theme makers to include an .xml file together with their theme. this .xml would include a list of all of the theme files and their destination directory, since not all themes are the same, some people replace bronzeres.dll and some others don't, so it's hard to tell unless you have a list of what to apply and what to remove.
Disabling titanium, as far as my research has gone, it's not possible with mortscript alone. These are lower-level system functions that can be found on C++, just like chomerefresh.exe which is also built on C++. Getting more complex as we dig deeper into it.
but, I still have faith in being able to replace the .dll without disabling windows default first, have you tried using mortscript's file attribute change to change the .dll's attribute from read-only to normal file before copying. I still do believe we'll need to standardize themes.

It is possible to disable and enable titanium with mortscript, it is just a registry HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/Windows Default, set Enabled to 0, then RedrawToday. The same to enable it, only set to 1.
I posted my scripts like they are now in the post below, asking for help to make them work, in the Mortscript examples thread. It still does not work to
replace bronzeres.dll, but i will look into your suggestion to change the attributes to normal before copying. The strange thing is that when i do everything manually with total commander with the titanium disabled it works flawlessly. On the other hand you are completely right, the themes are not standardized, but normally, with all the themes installed before, so that all the needed files are there, and then by replacing the above mentioned files it works. Thanks a lot for your help.

First try for an alpha version of the Titanium Theme Switcher. Download from the first post.
Hey claus - I only want to say how much I appreciate your work! It's really hard - especially to save everything, that nothing will be destroyed.
For bronzeres.dll - you must find a way to unload this .dll for changing - I'm not sure, if Mortscript can do it. If you need help - please tell me.
But perhaps you need no unload...this little needful thing could help, which I append
I use them very often by shortcut in StartMenu - especially "disable all" to switch off all todays and "EnableTitanium" - because I'm to lazy to go to my Home-Settings... (please comment iPhoneToday-Lines, if you don't have it - or make a check to Registry-Key, if it's exists)
Some questions:
- When can we expect a VGA-Version?
- Do you have a more technical implemention description how it works?
- What's the problem with cabbing? Perhaps I can help you
Thanx 4 all

Hi Micha
Thanks for your offer. In fact it took me some time to sort this out. Now it is working as i apply bronzeres.dll with a cab, so i don't need to disable Titanium. At the end i refresh Titanium so everything gets updated. The idea is later to avoid swapping out bronzeres.dll, when all theme builders make their themes without changing bronzeres.
A VGA version should not be difficult the only problem i have is that i only have a QVGA device. The cprs i have included are the themes cprs for QVGA, complemented with most of the plugins and some modded by me to get support for the plugins. I am still working on some icons and layouts. If someone with a VGA device has cprs for this themes filled with all the most used plugins i would be very grateful to receive them so i could put together a set for VGA. The same also for other resolutions. This shall be a theme switcher, so i am not interested for skins which can be changed by applying the corresponding tsk.
The way the theme switcher works is very very simple, and it works with Mortscript:
The themes must be installed first, all of them. Then we copy into windows the cprs for all this themes, Titanium_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Neo_240x320.cpr and 320x240.cpr, Lizzy_240x320 and 320x240.cpr etc etc.
By calling the themes menu mscr the menu pops up with all available options:
Save the current theme: This backs up the currenty active Titanium cprs and bronzeres.dll, so that one can revert back to what he had.
The next buttons are for applying any of the themes. This is done by inserting in the ExtensibilityXML registry the name of the cpr to be used, without touching the rest of the information in this registry, that means your personal plugin setup (active plugins and their order) stays the same. Then the corresponding bronzeres.dll is loaded by cab and when available the themes tsk is applied. At the end Titanium is refreshed and the theme has been changed.
As said this is still a bit rudimentary and i will with the time make it smoother and apply some cosmetics to make it look better.
The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:
1. installs all the themes,
2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
I almost thought, that you're doing i like that... it's not rudimentary - it's a very good way Perhaps a little bit to complicated for some things (why not using ExtensibilityXML to approve only Plugins, which works with the skin). Thanx for explanation.
But one thing... I don't know if you assume this will be in future, that's noboy would change the bronzeres.dll - I think not all developers will know this way - and there will be much more edits in future of other Titanium-Files perhaps - I would save it and have a look, that it would work with and without Bronzeres. Save the differences of each installation to the original theme - and you mustn't care for such things (I know - that's very rudimentary - but how do you say in english: If the mountain won't come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain )
I will have a look for my VGA-cpr - at the moment I haven't very much installed.
To your problems:
The problem with the cab is that i have only built very simple ones like for loading bronzeres.dll into windows. For this i would need a cab which:
1. installs all the themes,
What's the problem there? The themes are all installed by cab - so alltogether should also be installed like cab - Perhaps - I don't now - you must only cascade the .cabs in Installation - with between "saving" - that could work
2. copies the TitaniumThemes folder into storage card,
*g* For this case you asked in the other thread. In this case... make an installer after installation (I think you have JMLToday ( *link*), too? - you know what appears after Installation? In this script you could put the copy...
If you want to make it International... why not putting the Name of "Internal Storage" in the language-File? Or: Ask the user, where he wants to have his "Save-Files" - then you have the complete working path for you.
There's no reason to put something in a .cab, which canbe much easier done after installation. You need it anyway the whole time if somebody creates a new Titanium Skin - or should then the cab be reinstalled?
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs
Same as 2. - only back... and how to add Shortcuts in an .inf-File - I think that you already knows, right?
Keep up your good work - when it's working - than very much people will know, for what you'd make this effort!
Thank you
Micha

I did not want to touch the rest of ExtensibilityXML because i want to leave the setup of the plugins everyone already has. Anyway only the plugins supported by the theme will show up.

Some developers to which i have talked are willing to change their approach and try to leave bronzeres untouched for the next versions of their themes. Anyway the possibility to swap bronzeres is in the script and it is working well. I have fried to chnage theme without bronzeres at the beginning but for most of the themes the slider panel image is in bronzeres, so it does not look good without changing it.
I will have a look for my VGA-cpr - at the moment I haven't very much installed.

You are right on this, the script could be launched after installation and just copy the TitaniumThemes folder into Storage Card. I did choose this name as i used it in my scripts but i could change it to Internal Storage to suit the needs of non WWE users, for you it would be Speicherkarte right?
3. copies all cprs into windows and the shortcut into start menu/programs

Ok, can go in the same script, i thought pakaging everything into 1 cab install would be easier but you are right.
No - not "Speicherkarte" "Interner Speicher" would be the word, which Microsoft has chosen...
With Cab-Wizard you won't have any chance... you need the .inf-File... and I know... it's hard... there's no description for our purpose at one place - I had to seek very much around until I had the cab-concept e.g. for JMLToday.
But so I could help you - I will make bytheway a description with a .cab-Frame for JMLToday 5.3 - but I can give you the additional informations what you need to get it work with AT Plugin Installer.
Therefore I would need the complete directory-structure, which you want to cab... and a little time...

I am working to iron out the cprs for the different themes, to get support for most of the plugins out there today. When they are ready for QVGA i will try to resize them for the other resolutions with the new tool that came out, and post them for you to test them for me in your devices. When they are working well i can post installers for all resolutions.
I need information of which themes people is using to see which ones are worth to be included in the theme switcher, so pls. vote in the poll.
Cool Claus, but the poll isn't good
You develop a Theme Switcher - and in the Poll you can only choose one Theme

You are totally right Micha, it was late when i posted the poll and forgot to change the option to let choose several options. Now i don't find how to change this option. Any mod can help me do that?
There are some resized cprs to be tested on the first post for VGA and WQVGA. If someone with this resolution has TitaniumShadowNeo or WM7 theme installed could test them, i would be grateful. Pls. don't forget to backup your Titanium cprs first.
Will be happy for any feedback to correct the cprs.

Instalation
Very simple.
Download the zip for installation and place it on your phone.
We went into recovery (combo well with vol + Home button and power or some kind of external app if you have)
I am in favor of making all wipes when installing something new, to make the installation cleaner and avoid mistakes, but each to do what you want. (Even so check the installation notes for each rom to see if any were special)
To do this, wipe data / factory reset, wipe wipe dalvikcache cache and advanced.
And finally install the zip: install zip form sdcard / choose zip / and choose the zip
Reboot and ready
Onset is usually somewhat slower, since it is completely normal at the first boot android creates many files and that takes time.
Make lite Instalation
When CarbonOcean to flash (from v5.0) rom is full, ie it has each and every one of the standard apps, to lighten the rom and improve performance, we can make lite rom for it in / sdcard MikiMod_CO find a folder called within two zip you can find them.
DoLiteNormal.zip
For those who are here from the beginning, it would be like the normal versions of my old roms. For those new to flash this zip recovery are automatically deleted from the trash apps that comes with the phone as standard. Flasar this zip will get improved battery life and performance, and reduced application list.
I recommend this zip to flash people android newcomer to the world.
DoLite_editar_al_gusto.zip
So that, in this case we do 100% custom installation. and choose which apps we want and which not. To do this:
If we do from the PC is faster and better, but can be done from the mobile also but from the best cell phone only people who know how to do ...
Open the zip file with Winrar (open OJO not unzip or extract or anything) and we will META-INF/com/google/android / and open it with notepad + + (eye NOTEPAD + + is not worth the typical Windows notepad, if you have not look on Google's free) updater-script file. And something like that but it will be longer:
delete("/system/app/BuddiesNow.apk");
delete("/system/app/Days.apk");
delete("/system/app/DigitalClock.apk");
For it is as easy as deleting the lines of the apps you wish to keep. For example:
Days.apk need the app and do not want to delete. then you go to file and borrais this.
delete ("/ system / app / Days.apk");
so that looks like this:
delete ("/ system / app / AccuWeatherDaemonService.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / AnalogClock.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / BuddiesNow.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / DigitalClock.apk");
delete ("/ system / app / Dlna.apk");
And so with all the apps you wish to keep, if you leave this file flaseais unedited and will erase all apps not required for basic operation of the phone, the only application that is a little more delicate is the mtpaplication, which is for connect via USB (I think the kies). the rest you can delete without problems.
Once you finish editing the file you give it to the floppy. and saved. shut the notepad + + and the win rar will give you a message telling you if you want to update the file inside the zip, you say yes and go.
Will copy the zip to a folder so you can use yours and mikimods future and even in other roms then just go to recovery and to flash the zip file, or from the flash app update.zip CWM seek and accept it.
Themes
You can install any universal theme in the beginning, though it might not work as well as they should, this problem would be only the subject and not mine.
Here I will put the CarbonBlue of @ rastafary (best blue theme of the moment) a little touched up with the aesthetics of my rom. 100% functional on any version CarbonOcean [KI3]

But only tell you that the testing and comparison and if you find something better ... heh, heh. Seriously, what you see is the battery. In terms of performance is couple to the Batista70 (about 5700, 5800 in antutu benchmark)

If you have to flash the zip dolitenormal.zip in cwm, you have less apps. Check it and tell me if it is not.
Very good rom, Spain is diferent...thank you mikisb1.
vey nice rom mate , lots of mods and a great deisgn
Yes exactly what's expected but nothing changes... I'll try again..
Regards
it's ok now..
Let me see how is this rom... i came from androidmeda thas is really really good (battery life it's wonderful as less dpi font ) but your rom it's seems nice...
Regards
Rated as exellent.
Do you recommend "copy all system data" with titanium when updating to 5.1 from 3.5?
or just copy apps to avoid system bugs?
I'm an unconditional fan since version 1.0 of your ROM.
I think it's the best ROM for SGS2 at this moment, lesser battery drain and fast, really fast.
Keep working mikisb! See you here and at HTCMania!
Thanks mikisb for your job. I've got all your rom and all of them are simplily faster and no problems.
Salu2!!!
Desde mi bestia
So you finally posted your ROM here on Xda. Been following you're work on Htc mania.
Welcome, always liked you're work

[Q] Android ROM customization roadmap, general question

Hi guys, with my team we are working on an android device. At the moment we have accomplished the following steps:
Develop the PCB and touch screen to work with Android
Download 4.4.4 AOSP and customized the kernel for our device
saved source into GitHub and have a custom ROM with bootloader
So far so good, right now we have android running on our custom hardware (MIPS CPU) and we are quite satisfied with the overall performances.
Now we are starting the second phase of the project, and this is where we got stuck. We need to completely wipe out the UX and interaction of android 4.4.4 and create our own one.
This is what we need to accomplish:
Create a custom boot animation
Create a cutom animation for the battery charge
remove status bar (Time, Battery level) and pre-installed .apk
Create our own Android OS interaction with our .apks
Regarding the first steps, that's easy. We plugged into bootloader folder and started to change the animations for Battery and Logo. Regarding the rest the only solution we came up with is to have a sort of kiosk application that substitute the standard home screen.
Is there any other way to substitute the home screen with our own .apk? We have a built-in plug-in app so actually our .apk can pick up other .apk from file explorer and execute them. The problem is that we don't want to show to the user the underground system, so we don't want to show to the user anything except our home screen or kiosk mode app. Because the device will be used by commercial projects and retail stores.
What would be the best approach? Just remove all pre-installed .apk from the ROM (like calculator, browser, contacts) and execute an .apk in kiosk mode or create a new bootloader? Where we can find more documentation about this topic?

Change Font Android System

Hi.
I have been in this forum for a short time and since I'm so big I can not find where to write my question, so I've decided to write here if someone sees that it is not the right place to tell me.
I've been wanting to change the source of my android root, I've tried several applications ifont, Hifont, fontster ..., but none of them change the source completely, all the phone.
I have another mobile with xioami in which with the application "
MIUI Custom Font Installer "I change all the source of the system, status bar, settings, applications and everything, even when I make a storie with instagram the letters of the story are also with that source, there is some application or method to do that in a xperia z2?
Thank you so much
A greeting!
