[Q] How do you install fonts? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a couple fonts I want to install, but I have trouble finding the Font folder. I'm using UCCW and it's asking me to "Put your fonds in sdcard in 'fonts' folder." However, when I connect my phone to my desktop, I can't find a Fonts folder anywhere. Did I not install some driver that allows my computer to see all available files?
Thanks for the help

you have to create a folder titled "fonts". There isn't a folder there by default.
Surprising what 5 seconds of Google can do for you.

If you really want to change the icon of any apk and you're rooted... pull the file onto your computer. You can use Terminal to move it to your SD card first, then to your pc. Make a copy as a backup. Open the apk in 7zip. Find the correct drawable folder which holds the icon and drag/drop whatever icon you want into that folder. 7zip will automatically handle the rest. Just close 7zip, and move the file back over to the SD card, then use Terminal to copy it back to the phone.
Might need to reboot as well.

How could I pull all the apps ?
My only contribution to XDA. Hope it can help.
It was written for the G1, but I can only assume it will work for the N1, too.

If you have to ask, maybe you shouldn't be attempting this yet. If you're rooted, all you need to do is use Terminal Emulator or connect the phone to your phone if you have ADB setup, and copy the apk files whose icons you want to change to your computer.
Essentially, you're just copying them onto your computer, editing them, then overwriting the ones on your phone.
Are you sure, that it works with Apps from Market?
I think, there is a problem with signing after that procedure.

[Q] AndRootFile Noob

I am trying the get my Viewsonic G Tablet up and running.
As of now, I have it rooted. I'm using AndRootFile to TRY to move files to various System folders, to install them.
Problem 1)The files I need are in a Folder called G Tablet on my SDCard1 (internal storage, not actually an SD Card). Though AndRootFile sees every other file and folder in the SDCard folder, it doesn't see G Tablet. Every other file manager does, but AndRootFile doesn't. That is odd, of course.
Problem 2)This is where my noobism really comes out. Even though AnfRootFile claims to be a bit of a one stop shop file system explorer (allowing copying and moving of files), I do not no how to actually copy a file. I press and hold and get no pop-up menu. There is no "move," copy," or "edit" feature when hitting the menu tab. The small selection of features that pop up with the menu tab are unlabeled, but after trial and error to figure out what they actually do, not a single one actually allows any type of management of files or folders, except to make a folder R/W -- not that I can actually DO anything with that information since I cant move anything around.
HELP!!
Nevermind. I'm dumb.
I still do not know why it did see my G Tablet folder, but I made a new folder and copied the need file to it. As for the moving... I just missed that tool in the toolbar.
[A] Why AndRootFile can't see G Tablet folder
This got me stuck for a while too. It's the space in the folder name that's the problem.
Just rename the folder from "G Tablet" to "G-Tablet" and it will work just fine.
I have also been messing around with this program. I see how to change it to R/W, but I don't see a way to change it back to R/O. Is there a need to do this, or am I just missing something? Thanks for any help you can provide.

[Q] Install apk files for skins

I downloaded weather & clock widget and i downloaded a clock skin, its a apk files. When I select it says invalid skin. How do i install it?
Find some form of file manager to look into the folders of your SD card where you put the apk files. Touch them and a pop up should come up to install them.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I tap it and it said " The application you are installing will replace another application. All previous user data will be saved."I tapped Yes and nothing happened. The widget didn't change.

[Q] How to modify lenovo-res.apk?

I have the same problem on Lenovo P770....
I can help. Try the following steps:
1. Make a full backup of your device!
2. Get the lenovo-res.apk file onto your PC. Copy it to a safe place as a backup.
3. Download an archive manager (WinRAR, 7zip), and open it.
4. While in the archiver, navigate to the directory where the lenovo-res.apk file is located (not the backup one!).
5. Extract lenovo-res.apk to an empty folder of your choice (name suggestion - "lenovo-res modding").
6. Go back to your regular file explorer and open the folder you just extracted the files to. Open and modify what you like.
7. Now, open up your archiver program again, and navigate to the directory inside the lenovo-res.apk file where the files you modified belong (for example, lenovo-res.apk\res\drawable-mdpi).
8. Back in your regular file explorer, select and drag the modified files from the file explorer window into the archiver window. Drop the files in the archiver window.
9. Hit "Yes" or "OK" if asked if you're sure.
10. Repeat steps 6-9 as many times as necessary.
11. When done, close the archiver window to finalize the changes.
12, Now, you can ADB push the modded lenovo-res.apk file to your device, but don't replace the one on your system with the push! You will get a bootloop!
13. Instead, push it to your external sdcard (for example, /mnt/sdcard).
14. On your device, open up your file explorer app (I use ES File Explorer), and navigate to where you pushed the lenovo-res.apk. Copy it, and paste it directly into the directory where the system file is (for example, /system/framework).
15. If the paste succeeds, you did it. Your device will hot reboot itself after the replacement, and will then boot up using the new lenovo-res.apk.
16. Done!

Thanks, but this will not help me. Because I need give to lenovo-res.apk new slovak and czech translates (folders values-sk and values-cs). If I unzip the apk file, as you wrote, there is no all subdirectories in "res" directory, where language files are.
All Subdirectories in "res" directory are creates only when you use JBart or Apktool:
color\
drawable\
drawable-hdpi\
layout\
values\
values-in\
values-ms\
values-ru\
values-vi\
values-zh-rCN\
If you will use 7ZIP, there are only:
color\
drawable\
drawable-hdpi\
layout\
I need to add values-sk and values-cs subdirectories. Normaly I use jBart or Apktool, make lenovo-res.apk file, no errors. Then install ROM file, but phone will stop on bootloop. On all other apk files procedure with jBart/Apktool works well, except lenovo-res.apk not.
I do not know how to compile this one apk. Please help me. Thanks.
I know this is a little bit off topic..Kindly help.. am trying to locate the systemUI apk on my lenovo k80m.. cant seem to find it in priv- app or app folders.

How To Theme The Dialer Of A110 Without PC.

Hello Friends,
I'm going to share a simple way to theme your dialer screen(Change Its Background) without using PC.
Requirements:-
Your A110 For Sure
And A Few Apps Installed In That They Are :
1.X-plore File Manager
2.Batch Image Converter(Optional)
(You Will Find Both Apps On Play Store)
But Hey Keep In Mind This Tutorial Is For Rooted Devices Only.
Now How To Do This :
Step-1) First Of All Open X-plore.
1.1)Press Menu Button Choose Configuration In The Pop-Up Menu.
1.2)In That Menu Change The Root Access From Normal To SuperUser+Mount Writable.
Note: If Already Done Skip This Step.
Step-2)Open "Root/system/apps" .
Step-3)Look For The "Contacts.apk" File There.
Step-4)Copy That File Somewhere In The SD Card.
Step-5)Now Move To The Location In The SD Card Where You Pasted The "Contacts.apk" .
Step-6)Now Touch & Hold The File For A While & A Drop Down Menu Will Appear, From That Menu Choose The Option "Open Apk As Zip" .
Step-7)Now The "Contacts.apk" Will Open As A Zip File & A List Of A Few Folders And Files Will Be Shown Below.
Step-8)In The Folders There Will Be A Folder Named "res" Open That Folder, Again A List Of Folders Will Appear, Select "drawable-nodpi" Folder From Them.
Step-9)In That Folder There Will Be A File Named As "background_dial_holo_dark.png"
Now Replace This File With Any File Of Your Choice.
Note:- The New File Should Be Renamed As "background_dial_holo_dark" & Should Have The Extension As ".png" And Its Resolution Would Be Same As That Of The Original File (480x854 In Most Cases).
You Can Download A ".png" File From Internet, But If You Are Not Able To Find Any File With That Extension And Resolution, Then Use "Batch Image Converter to Convert Any Image File To A ".png" File.
Step-10)When You Are Done, Once Again Touch And Hold On The "Contacts.apk" (The Same File You Are Working On) And From The Drop Down Menu Choose"Zip Back To Apk".
Step-11)Now Place Your Modified "Contacts.apk" File In "Root/system/apps" After Deleting Original "Contacts.apk" From There (Make A Backup Of The Original App In Case You Need That).
Step-12)Now Set The Permissions Of This (New/Modified) "Contacts.apk" As rw-r--r--. (By Touching & Holding The File & Selecting "Permissions" From The Drop Down Menu When You Are In Root/sytem/apps).
Done.
Reboot Your Phone Now !!!
And See The New Dialer.
Hit Thanks If You Find It Helpful.
