I've seen posts on this topic, but nothing in one place.
This will help you to just switch out the basic overall system fonts (without any apps, aside from root explorer)...
0. (optional) using root explorer, navigate to /system/fonts and copy the current Clockopia.ttf, DroidSans-Bold.ttf, and DroidSans.ttf files to your sd card for safe-keeping (note that if you are on any custom roms, these are most likely not the actual font names - if you're curious, copy it to your computer and preview the .ttf file or just hold your cursor over the font and it should tell you the actual font name)
1. get the .ttf files that you want (maybe from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194202 <-- these are font packs with a lot more stuff in there than you need - just unzip and grab the three .ttf files only) you really only need to grab the unique files - usually clockopia and droidsans are the exact same file with different names, and sometimes all three are the same when there is no actual bold type of a specific font)
2. put the .ttf files on your sd card (i have a folder with different fonts on my sd, i named the .ttf files the actual font name to keep everything straight, and copy and rename when i want to switch fonts)
3. using root explorer, copy the 3 .ttf files (or only the unique files and make additional copies as needed) to your /system folder - make sure to mount r/w first (we need to make a layover here so we can change the permissions)
4. rename the files (you could do the renaming at any stage really, just sometime before you put them in the /system/fonts folder) - change the regular font types to Clockopia and DroidSans, and the bold font type to DroidSans-Bold (that's what your system is looking for when calling fonts)
5. change permissions of the 3 files to chmod 644 (see attached pic)
6. multi-select the 3 files and MOVE (do not copy) to the /system/fonts folder. it will ask you if you want to overwrite, check the box to do it for all files, and hit ok.
7. exit. reboot. done. cheers!

No prob. I learned quick after taking a misstep trying to copy them to the fonts folder w/ no cwm on boot - fc's, followed by a boot loop, followed by rsd lite... you know where this goes... anyway, i thought i'd share..
...Still not sure what all the other fonts in there do.. heck, i got no idea what the clockopia font is even for. I've changed it to different fonts separately, and notice no difference anywhere... you probably don't need to even change it. Someone else please feel free to post if you can add to the topic
Sent from my mind using XDA
Guys, I just did what I didn't suppose to and ended up in bootloop during font change! I know, am a stupid noob...
But, can't get the phone to CWM either. What should I do?
Running Victory rom if that helps. Thank you very much for the responses.
EDIT: nevermind, now I know what to do. Sorry for trolling, moderators can now delete my stupid post...
Don't beat yourself up my brother.... We've all been there.
Some, like me, more than others. That's the way I learned.
ATRIX 2 / Victory Rom
Yup - been there. And, learned from it..
Try and keep that CWM on Boot installed if you're messing around, and a backup on your sd card to restore if you start looping..
Thanks for your support guys, you're awesome
The thing is that i did have CWM on boot installed, and I did make all important backups. I just couldn't get anywhere but in regular fastboot mode only...
Anyway, RSDLite will do the thing I hope...
Thanks again boys, cheers from OZ

Wow.. I forgot about this thread!
Anyway, you would need you to find the fonts from cm7 and move those as described above.
I am not familiar with CM roms, but I assume the fonts are in the same /system/fonts folder - grab them from a CM7 rom and follow the steps..
Note: there are also apps that change system fonts (like Font Changer) - but I prefer to do things manually..

Thanks! That is a good read... and, so it looks like you could possibly still use the method in my OP, but you need to replace the four Roboto font files instead of the DroidSans ones.. I'll give it a try sometime when I get back on ICS and update the OP accordingly.

There is a application called LCfont changer. It works via CWM / Recovery..but i didnt work for me.Can you just try out and let me know ?
Guys,
I really need your help here!!
I beginning to try to create status bar themes for sense 3.6 ROMs on 3.33 base but am getting a bit stuck.
I've pulled all the .pngs I want to edit from SystemUI.apk (decomplied with Multi APK Tool), edited them using photoshop and saved them (Keeping the filenames the same) then recompiled to get the new APK (ensuring it is still named SystemUI.apk).
I don't know how to create flashable zips so have used root explorer to replace the original SystemUI.apk file with my new one and set permissions to rw-r--r-- and rebooted but nothing changes.
I don't know if I need to edit more than these image files (like stuff in framework.res.apk) or if there's anything else apart from image editing I need to do. Can anyone please guide me on this?
Once I can do this, I would love to be able to create flashable zips, to flash new themes and I have found odd bits of info here and there online about how to create them, but I am still unsure about this, so if anyone can help me with that as well, it would be great.
Can anyone please help/guide me here?]
Thank you :fingers-crossed:

Hi,
Look HERE
Devs,
I modified the framework-res.apk file from NJ4 to remove the <item> lines out of the arrays.xml file:
Code:
<string-array name="config_mobile_hotspot_provision_app">
<item>com.sec.tetheringprovision</item>
<item>com.sec.tetheringprovision.TetheringProvisionActivity</item>
</string-array>
I have it working on my phone and native hotspot is working. I couldn't find any further information if anything more was needed to "not be detected" by the network as tethering.
If this is indeed, all that needs to be done, then someone may want to make it an SafeStrap install zip. I'm not sure how to do that.
You can manually add this fix, but will have to follow these instructions to the T, as not doing so will get you in a boot loop. I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone, and doing anything with this modified file is at your own risk... I use Root Browser as my file manager to make these changes..
THIS ZIP FILE IS NOT FLASHABLE - IT'S MERELY IN ZIP SO IT COULD BE UPLOADED TO XDA..
1) Download zip file and extract it to your computer
2) Move the extracted framework-res.apk file to your SDCard
3) Now, move the file from your SDCard to /system/ (Temporarily).
4) Make a backup copy of the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file to your SDCard in another folder for backup purposes.
5) Change the permissions on the framework-res.apk file that you just copied to /system to 0644
6) Move the framework-res.apk file from /system to the /system/framework folder
7) Overwrite the original framework-res.apk file
8) Reboot your phone
9) Voila, native hotspot is active.
[EDIT TO REMOVE OLD FILE - SEE POSTS BELOW]
Thank you this worked for me
Thank you, rodin95, your steps worked for me on rooted stock NJ4. I installed apk following your steps, changing permissions, etc. Hotspot seem to work fine.
Additional information for those contemplating the same steps:
0644 means: Owner: read,write; Group:read,Other:read.
I used ES File Explorer app.
Before performing the steps: In ES File Explorer, choose "Root Explorer" , then choose "Mount R/W" and then chose "RW" for /system partition, otherwise moving the apk into /system/framework will not work.
Please note that removing the original apk from /system/framework seem to quickly render your phone unusable. So please follow instructions of the original post precisely . Good luck!
Thanks

Thank you , i really don't know why he didn't mention that information because it's very important. It really works !
Thanks dude, working on my stock NJ4 rooted i337
Got it going but as mention mine frozen after over writing framework apk, phone rebooted but was in a bootloop. Pulled battery 2 times and still bootloop. So I pulled battery and went into Safestrap recovery/ advanced/ file manger and copied modified framework-res.apk again, over writing, rebooted with no problems and tethering works great. Just a thought and haven't tried it but I remember doing this another time and the instructions were to rename the stock framework app and then copy modified to framework folder? Wonder if this would stop device from freezing up????? Just a thought. Thanks

I didn't mention that because I mentioned that I use Root Browser in the posting, and it didn't require the steps you guys mentioned.
NP to all of you! Glad I was able to assist with this
I'd like to learn - how did you modify the framework-res.apk file?
I've extracted the file framework-res.apk, but don't see a file called "arrays.xml". I assume it's contained in the resources.arsc file. How did you extract it from the resources file and then repackage it after you modified the xml?
I've unsuccessfully Googled. Is there a tutorial you can link me to?
Thanks!
install
Excuse the noob here but if I understand correctly I need to root my phone, install SafeStrap, download & run the zip file for SafeStrap & I should be able to use my WiFi hotspot?
Worked Perfectly!
Thank you for posting this fix! It worked perfectly on my SGH-i337 running rooted NJ4.

Stock rom only? I'm on Super Nexus Safestrap and I'm wanting my tethering to work again.
Thanks Rodin95. Your instructions and file worked perfectly.
So I just ran through the step listed above, word for word including mounting SYSTEM as RW. As soon as I asked ES File to copy the file from /system to /system/framework the phone rebooted itself and is now stuck at the AT&T splash screen with the globe in the middle of the screen.
Any ideas? Or am I going to have to Re-ODIN everything back and start over...
I am/was running on stock-rooted but WITHOUT SS...
Thanks for this.
Since I'm using my i337 on T-Mobile I absolutely need this fix to use tethering at all (OC3 has issues with Bluetooth AVRCP that makes it a deal-breaker for me).
I used the SafeStrap update.zip with FlashFire instead and it worked perfectly.
Just installed the SS update file. Worked great. So happy to finally have this. Running on stock, rooted, ROM.

I know it's thier own fault for not reading a few lines down into post 3 and all but you should really update the OP so people don't get stuck in bootloader like they are still... this is orking perfect for 4.4.4 nj4 and the first quote is for 4.2 and 4.3 which all work if done the way explained above... I know it's real hard to follow instruction if you don't read more than 5 lines lol
Is there a version of this that works for 5.0.1?
Is there any way to change emojis with stock android emojis? Yes, there is!
Download file to SD.
Using file manager on your phone with root (i.e. ES file explorer) go to system/fonts in root folder.
Locate default NotoColorEmoji.ttf and do a back up (you can skip it).
Replace NotoColorEmoji.ttf in system/fonts with the file you have downloaded.
Set permissions to rw-r-r.
Reboot.
Default android emojis: http://d-h.st/uXQL
Default LG emojis: http://d-h.st/O9aw
Tested & works with LG, Xperia keyboard.
Have you tried this on play? Needs root
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stevenschoen.emojiswitcher
Im more of a "push-it-to-/root/system-kinda" guy, these kind of apps seems a little fishy to me.
Looks like it's a ttf file, perhaps you could try swapping it for another, I'm guessing you'll have to rename it to match the one in your font folder.

Did you renamed the original one? I kept the original one but I added suffix .ttf.original
Also I am using Xperia keyboard as my default but with stock LG keyboard emojis are working.
Incase you need it, here's my original (note that this one is over 11MB whereas stock android was just over 2 MB) http://d-h.st/O9aw
Dont forget to fix the suffix and permissions. I hope this one helps.

Im glad you have fixed it.
I'll click thanks seeing as nobody else has ? we need to encourage as many people to stay with this wonderful device and to develop for it. I'm glad I'm not the only one still posting on here, I'm getting fed up seeing my name on everything ?
You might want to explain how to push it into System/fonts, as some users might not know about adb or did you use a root explorer?
Yup, re-edited OP, now it should be quite clear.
So as you guys probably know , Samsung's OS is a bit different than other roms and and therefore I can't install the specific boot animation I want , because it requires QMG and the boot animation I want is a ZIP file , if anyone can help me to convert it from ZIP to QMG or just do that for me , it would be much appreciated , thanks in advance

Google can be your friend on this one. You need to make them image by image in png format. Then use whatever Samsung uses it does. You can't just convert a zip to qmg.
If it was absolutely that simple every one would be making them. There are guides out there. But tedious work.
I tried googling but this stuff is complicated for me and it could be cool if anyone would do that for me or atleast help me with that cuz I didnt really understand everything

I used to have a zip file that enables the use of boot animations in .zip format it's old coming from Lollipop era try searching the file name Lollipop Bootanimation Zip Enabler in Google you should be able to find old posts and links about it
If you decide to do this always remember to backup everything since you'll be flashing a zip file in twrp to enable the option to use bootanimation.zip

I've seen that, pretty outdated and I think has some issues on the Android versions not mentioned on that post. What I noticed is that all that zip does is replace the bin/bootanimation file. If my crazy noob logic tells me something, I'm thinking that it may be possible to get a bin/bootanimation file from AOSP and replace it on current Samsung firmware to try to bring back bootanimation.zip support. It prooooooooobably won't work but it's funny to think about

Hi,
I've been looking for a while now to flash custom boot animations. There are tutorials, but I don't dare start well. Unfortunately, not many, if any, custom bootanimations are in qmg format.

I also searched behind a Magisk or Exposed module, which could fix this, but I don't think there is one.

Is there no safe way to do this? I have replaced the qmg files but nothing changes. I've deleted the files and they come back. Kind of afraid to flash the marshmalow bootanimation.zip support since its quite outdated. Would love to know if someone managed to use the zip instead of the qmg on a s9+ with oneui 2.0
Thanks in advance
I forget which Samsung galaxy I did this on but I simply renamed bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to another name and then copied a bootanimation.zip file into that same folder (/system/media) and it worked.
You also have to make sure permissions are set correctly
