Is it possible to add or import true type fonts that all the apps would be able to access on the Note 10.1 (8013)?
Thanks
I have a few apk files that install fonts. I collected them from various places but buggered if I can find them on my PC now.... It does work as I installed a font I like called Akbar...
I just used Rom Toolbox app and changed my fonts. I learned through trial and error that you need to be on a deodexed Rom for Rom Toolbox to really work. When I was only stock rooted it was very inconsistent with what changed.
When I flashed the stock rooted deodexed 4.1.2 from the development section and tried Rom Toolbox again, it was fine.
Okay, excuse my ignorance, but I keep seeing this term on this forum and can't find any post that explains what it means.
What the heck is "deodexed?"

Hey everyone!
So I bought my Play from Hong Kong 4 months ago and it's working great here in the Philippines. Now, I'm already on 4.0 UK Generic ROM to take advantage of the preserve-root-via-OTA trick but as everyone will know I lost some of the apps from HK ROM and some apps are added because they are by default packed with the UK ROM. There was this app from the HK ROM called Application Installer which, as the name implies, is a very simple application that when launched finds all APKs saved on your SD Card and from there you can select to install them. I missed that application because of it's simplicity and straight-forward job. I just can't live with going through File Managers only to install a single APK every time.
Now, will anyone be kind enough to upload here the specific Application Installer APK (can't remember the exact name) extracted from the system/app directory of the HK ROM for Xperia PLAY? I'm already on UK Generic and it would be pain in the butt to reflash again the HK ROM, extract a single apk, then flash back to UK Generic.
Thanks in advance everyone!
PS: If it's in the wrong section, somebody move this please?

huh?
was it something i did?
anyone? please?
do you have a HK based ROM? tried looking from it and extracting from it?
as i have said on my first post, i was previously on HK ROM, but now on UK Generic, but flashing back just to get a single apk is not an option as i have lots of apps already installed, settings already set, and virtually no time to do backups, flashing and reflashing, and rooting, and OTA all over again... i could have done that already and not asked here if it was possible for me..
anyone? please? please? need it so badly...
I have the app in my phone, instructions needed for me to extract from my phone and you'll getting it soon enough
you only need root friend, and with the help of Root Explorer or any file manager app that can read through system/app directory, you will find the apk file, copy (NOT CUT) it somewhere in the SD then post it here..
wats the name of the apk? GenericApplicationInstaller? PackageInstaller? I came across this 2, i'll just post it and you try it for yourself okay?
but i have both of those on my system..
and those two don't have specific icons..they use the generic Android icon for apk's..
i remember it having its own icon for itself.. sigh..
how bout this? i have another called CustomizedApplicationInstaller.
If i may ask, what is so desperately needed about this app.
As far as i can tell from your story only thing it does is a batch installaton of apk's.
Ad itś not like you are flashing a new rom every day i suppose.
Just use titanium backup, you can make a backup of all your apps with all settngs and data preserved. it saves it to your sd card, and you can run a batch restore wich restores all your apps.
cause is quite convenient as it searches all the apks you have in your sd card and list out for you so that you won't need to look for every single apk if you wanna install them...........
why dont you use something similar from the market?
beats me, ts wants that, i have it but i have no idea where it is
i already made my point.. i don't have to explain again..
ps: my signature really makes sense..
any ways to pull out from titanium backup?
nvm i think i found it, try this
my oh my just how can i thank thee good sir?
heartache healed!
Hey guys,
i was wondering, if there is a possibility to customize a custom ROM. I found a great one but, as almost every ROM, it consists of apps i dont need/want. Removing is not possible (or possible?). I already tried to unpack it with osKitchen, but it crashes because "its a custom ROM".
Are there any other options to make it works?
Thx a lot,

If you use titanium backup you should be able to delete any app you want. Or you can use a program called 7 zip, unzip it, take out and add what you want and zip it back up. This is useful for apps that you can't install such as theme chooser for CM7.
I do not use titanium backup, software which is better?
No, iam not using titanium backup. Its a Windows Mobile (6.5) Phone.
I already tried to unzip it with 7-zip, but its impossible. He always whines that the file Gambit 1.3.2048 RC2 - Sense 2.5.2019|Titanium cannot be opened as an archive.
But you get my intension? I want to customize a ROM, which is done by an user (the one i linked).
Thx
I changed my font through Rom Toolbox, and now have lost my original stock font. Is anyone able to post the stock fonts? I mistakenly didn't do a back up inside of Rom Toolbox (mainly because I didn't know I could). Perhaps an easy fix would be if someone has Rom Toolbox and hasn't changed their fonts, they could make a backup and send me the back up file. I could then restore through Rom Toolbox. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
Just choose stock in rom toolbox

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and thought it didn't look as crisp as it used to. Maybe my imagination?
Stock Font
It is not your imagination. I have the same problem on my Droid RAZR. The "stock" font in the Rom Tool Box is not as clear as the font that came with the device. Additionally, when I first enter Gmail, all the unread messages are bold (as they should be) and read message are not. If I change a message from read to unread ALL of the message become bold. Unlike you, I did do a backup. However, the resulting restore did not fix the font AND it failed during the restoration of the cache leave the internal storage in an unknown state forcing the formatting of internal storage...which wiped all apps that had been move to the SD.
hey i backed up my font but cant seem to find it any idea how i could and install it back

I would like to know what process is entailed in changing out a phone.apk
I am running a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom deodexed, but with a stock dialer and I hate it.
I have seen some roms using an ics style dialer thats much cleaner, but I cant figure out how to make the switch.
I tried asking for and installing a copy of the ics style phone.apk ( renamed old one, copied new one in, set permissisons, rebooted to recovery, wiped dalvik, rebooted, and fail - the lock screen came up but when unlocked the phone was just black and I was forced to cwm reinstall rom).
Pointers?
i belive you installed a wrongrom or something in the system that went wrong like it being odexed or deodexed

Also try a different APK, they don't all work with all ROMs
Also, you can flash a theme with a better dialer or use a theme manager engine if you are on CM7 base too.
ok, so basically switching out the contacts.apk and phone.apk should have worked with proper permissions set up, I just used a wrong type of apk?
I hadnt thought about just theming it - havent gotten into that yet, but thanks for the suggestion, as I may look into that then.

It could work with another APK, depends where you got it from. A Sense APK would never work in an AOSP ROM for instance.
Theming might be more fun.
Hi guys, been using this great phone.for.2 months already. Used a couple of roms in the past but returned to rooted, locked bootloader stock rom with the latest update. I just had a question is it possible to make the settings menu white witout being deodexed? Or at least without modification of system files. Please.note I do not have any sort of recovery installed. Just rooted so I can use greenify and Uninstal bloatware. I really like the white menu, been searching and only foind it in custom.roms. anyway I can do that on stock? thanks in advance. I've decided to.use.stock as I could.find lots.of.bugs.on the.custom roms. Aand.I really like the stock ui. ANY advice?
Hey mate, sorry to inform you but I think you have to deodex. However I think there is another way, I understand you prefer clean stock rom, I can't unlock my bootloader and it is indeed the fastest rom do the following, search on the themes and apps for Honami white settings and you will find a port that even has cpu control.
Go to your apps folder (use root Explorer); delete your settings and settings.odex, and now copy the files you downloaded from the port and copy them with correct permissions. Then reboot and I think you are all done. Also search for an app or way do delete your cache, including dalvik so you avoid errors. I'm thinking about doing this myself so try it and tell me if something went wrong so I can help
