I'd like to fetch the custom images I used for my home screen and lock screen wallpapers respectively. What is the folder location that I can pull via an ADB command?

What would be the easiest way to download and change the font systemwide?
Here is a way to do it in the terminal.
First backup the fonts that you have on your phone. This will dump them in your SDK tools directory.
adb pull /system/fonts
Put those fonts in a different directory to keep them safe. Decide what font you would like to replace and what fonts they will replace on the phone. Rename those fonts with the same file name as the ones that you pulled from the phone. So, if you wanted to replace Droidsans with Helvetica, you would rename helvetica.ttf to Droidsans.ttf. Once you have renamed them, put them in your tools directory.
Then push them back to the phone:
adb remount
adb push DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts
Reboot the phone. Now the new fonts should be working.
Also, if you put all of your websafe fonts on your phone (verdana, georgia, etc), your browser should actually start using them on the websites that you view. I am not completely sure about the stock browser, but I know that it worked in Opera.
looking for fonts online i found some but i pushed one and i couldnt read it at all does anyone know what the default font size is to preview before i push it to the phone?
Every time I try to push a file via adb it says it can not find the file. where am I supposed to put these files? For example Droidx keyboard apk. Boot animations etc. where do I have to put these files in order to be able to push them?

The same folder you have ADB in. Usually it's c:\blahdyblah\android-sdk\tools.
Is there an app or widget that will show me what files are located in a folder? For example I have a folder called DOCUMENTS. I want a widget that will allow me to scroll through the files in the folder, pick a file and open it in one of the Office apps. I know I can go to a File Manager app and hit a few directories and get it that way I am but just looking for a short cut to a specific folder.
I am ONLY looking for a single folder that I have my project files in for work.
Here is an app that kind of does what I am looking for (searches the SDCARD for predefined files) but doesn't work on ICS as I tried it.

I solved my problem of putting a shortcut for a folder or file on the home screen.
The answer is here:
Shortcut for Folders-Files on Home Screen

I am a little surprised this functionality isn't built into Android already for shortcuts or in the more "popular" file explorer apps.
I couldn't find a clear answer for setting up UCCW so I'm hoping someone can explain exactly how the widgets created should be inside the UCCW directory...
some of the new clocks, battery bars, etc. I downloaded come with just a "UZIP" file, some come with a UZIP file & an image and some come with a whole directory that has weather images, fonts, etc. inside.
In the posts & threads I found previously that didn't really explain how to set up the new widgets, they just said "put everything inside the UCCWoutput folder"....
now, if one widget I download unzips to a folder with all that widgets' contents inside should I just put that folder inside the UCCWoutput folder?
or do the fonts go into the "fonts" folder on the SD card and everything else go into the UCCWoutput folder?
right now I have almost everything placed in the UCCWoutput folder...no folder for images or files or font or separate folders for separate widgets...everything is just kind of in there...and only a few of the widgets show up when I try to add one to my screens...I thought maybe that each widget should have it's own folder but from what I read in previous posts I found the explanations were pretty vague...."put so-and-so inside the UCCWoutput folder"....that doesn't explain anything really since some widgets have 1 file and some have a UZIP file, a font file and a bunch of images...
just trying to get this straight so I can use this correctly....and I searched for a good hour & a half without finding a somewhat clear explanation on how to handle all the images, fonts, etc...
all help is appreciated!:laugh:
no one has any input on setting up one of these widgets?
just trying to figure out if each widget gets it's own folder or not because like 5 or 6 widgets in my directory have different names but they're all the same thumbnails...
the uccwOutput directory is fine but the other one is the one acting crazy...

Well.. Mine is kind of a mess too but I do know it helps to create a folder on the root of your sdcard ( or whatever internal/external/sdcard0/sdcard1 ) labeled fonts and place the fonts in there not the folder for the font. I do not have anything in my uccwoutput folder I have just been putting all my uzips under the regular uccw folder, opening uzips from there, then the folders are created in the same directory where the uzips are. hope this helps let me know if you need anything else
In this thread you will read about simple and easiest way using which you can hide any folder or file in Android phone without using any software or app. So why don’t you check the steps below:
Guide to Hide Folder/Files in Android Without Software
1. First of all Open file manager of your device. I’m using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for this tutorial. (but procedure is same in all the device)
2. In File Manager, Tap on Device Storage or SD Memory Card to head over to the next step.
3. Now in My Files you need to Create New Folder with any name. But make sure to add . before the name of the folder. For Example, If you name the folder “lavish” add . and it will look like “.lavish”
4. Once folder is created you need to copy and paste all the private content in this folder an check your gallery whether its showing your photos/videos or not. Once you confirm it to be visible follow the next step
5. In option you will see Setting option, just tap on it.
6. When you click on Settings, another window will open. In this window you will notice two option Show Hidden Files and Show Hidden Extension. You need to uncheck show hidden files option which is checked by default.
Note: If you want to hide file uncheck show hidden files, and if you want to hide particular extension uncheck show hidden extension
7. Now after doing above step you will notice that the folder you created is not visible in the Windows. Now this means you have successfully hidden your private content. To confirm this, again head over to gallery and I’m sure that you will notice all the photos and videos which was visible to till 3 steps are not visible any more.
8. Whenever you want to access these files. You just need to check Show Hidden Files or Show Hidden Extension and all Folders and File become visible to you.
Note: In case, if you’re seeing the hidden files in gallery after following the above method. You just need to move the folder to another location and move it back to same location.
