Hey guys! After updating to OneUI 5.0, I have to reapply my custom font through zfont 3. However, in order to use the cloud backup/restore trick, your Samsung phone must not be debloated.
Does anybody know which apps in particular are required to be hydrated to device in order to get Samsung Cloud to change font to the backed up font when restoring from backup?
For those that don't know , debloating causes Samsung cloud to limit what it can backup and restore. Particularly as it pertains to settings. Basically after a factory reset, I changed the font to Google Sans through zfont 3 and planned to never change it again so I debloated following that and now can't get it back after upgrading to OneUI 5 Android 13.
TL;DR Does anybody know where I can find a hydration script? Or even better know exactly which app(s) need to be hydrated to get font functionality back when restoring device from backup using Samsung Cloud (To customize font)

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

Hi all.
First of all sorry if this is the wrong forum - but I'm unsure if its app relate, ROM or device.
I have a Uk S4 (i9505) on the 3 network which is rooted and usually running 4.4.2 TW roms. I noticed this issue last week when trying to freeze an app and its now the same after flashing different ROMs (currently Echoerom 38)
I've always used Titanium for app backup and restore and after flashing a new rom will freeze/delete things I donts use (S Health, Text to speech apks, live wallpaper pickers, etc)
Now I've noticed these apps dont show in Titanium`s list at all - purely user apps both installed and not installed - plus some ROM/kernel specific apps (like Stweaks/CPU spy)
Any `bloatware` apps aren`t listed at all so I cant touch them - they sem to occupy the system/priv-app folder.
Is this a normal thing for 4.4.2 or is there a workaround - other bloatware freeze apps seem ok.
Ive made sure there are no filters in the app view blocking things and reinstalled Titanium from fresh and even tried different Superuser apps to no avail. just to give an idea Titanium shows 251 apps listed but after clearing the cache/dalvik in recovery the system updates 400+ apps !
Any thoughts.
Cheers
Robin
Seeing as both these app's have system app backup option, what would be a list of app's to backup to save and possibly restore the edge panel on a note 4 n910 universal version of miui with touchwiz and s features, would it be possible or would it need to be baked into the rom? I'm curious!!
Here's the rom itself: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/miui-7-samsung-note4almost-snapdragon-t3221861 what would need to be done to get our edge panel on it?
I'm about to do an upgrade from an stock ROM to Cyanogenmod on a phone I have a lot of apps and settings on.
I know the guides always say "back up before upgrading in case it fails, then upgrade, you'll lose all your previous data". And I know that's the normal way it goes.
I'm a noob to the android OS structure, but is it possible to manually take any parts of the pre-upgrade backup data and paste it in the new OS?
For example how you can copy a lot of programs and AppData (profiles, settings etc) from one installation/version of windows to another.
In my case it would take a lot of extra configuration work even after I use the play store to re-download all the apps. Not to mention some apps are from for ex fdroid or github. And then there's the xposed modules.
Cheers!
I guess I'll upgrade and then try to overwrite app data folders and see how that goes.
I know a lot of you here upgrade your ROMs like every week. Do you spend like 3 days customizing your phone back after each flash?
[EDIT] Found an answer. No thanks to you friendly community (why did someone rate my thread down without saying anything?).
- I found out that Titanium Backup can batch-store all your apps and app data - I wonder if it stores stuff like my Catapult Launcher screen layout and folders.
- Also if all you're doing is an OTA upgrade, you can do it without loosing root: http://www.howtogeek.com/192402/why-androids-ota-updates-remove-root-and-how-to-keep-it/
So flash the new ROM, Root, restore from Titanium (since CWM does a system(-based) image afaik).
Hello Everyone,
As I am using a custom rom. I keep on doing a clean install of the new uodates that come up for the ROM.

Anhone to do it?
