[Q] new root user how to change fonts [ROM] B 0.8.4 - Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi i was wondering do i need to replace both droidsans.tff AND droidsans-bold.ttf
if so do i replace them with the same tff file ( the font i;m using only has one .tff file) or can't i use it
i'm running hboot1.01 using CWM

Yes, u can use the same ttf file to substitute both DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold but then ur phone shall display both regular and bold text in the same way.
-
Swyped from my legend using xda app.

Thanks a lot I was just wondering
I'm guessing to flash it I use adb push. Etc.... XD
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App

ok i flashed them using adb push etc to /system/fonts/droid etc....
i overwrote droidsans and droidsans-bold but nothing it hasn't changed What am i doing wrong?

Have you done a reboot?

I clicked to reboot the phone since I'm on hboot 1.01 its the only way I can flash them without command prompt saying its a read only file
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App

Are you sure you did overwrite those ttf files? Did you mount /system before adb push?

Ok I didn't do that :/ guess hats where I went wrong right? Do you need to do that ? XD if so what did I do :/ XD

Mount /system via clockwork recovery and than push the fonts via adb

Cool ok thanks one other question
Why do you have to mount it first?
Also how would I go about flashing other stuff e.g the lockscreen and widgets and what not

Obviously because in CWM it is not mounted by default.

You pushed stuff into /system directory which actually resided in initramfs. That's similar to ramdisk.

Is there any way of removing them? From there XD thanks BTW

Well, ask yourself how you remove things from RAM.

Do I just clear cache from cwm? Errmmm

well i'm guessing thats the right answer ? either that or just remove it using a file explorer :

[Q] Phone not showing up in list of models when Flashing Clockwork with ROM manager

I've tried searching for other threads about this issue but have found none. I have an Optimus V with ROM manager and anytime I try to Flash Clockwork Recovery Mod a window pops up that instructs me to confirm my phone model. The only problem is that none of the models listed are mine. I picked the first option (the "Huawei Pulse Mini") and it said that it installed correctly, but I still don't know if I'll be able to flash other ROMS correctly.
Summary: How do I get my phone model to show up in the pop up window of Rom Manager when I want to install Clockwork Recovery Mod
Have you tried selecting optimus one from the list?

Well do you flash the cwm made by mik or is there any other cwm recovery for ur phone.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Also, under Current Recovery it says Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7 (it also says this as the latest version). Not sure if that helps or not, but thought I would let everyone know.
You will have to ask your developer for support, the one who made port of recovery for ur phone. I think opcode did that port.....

I found the recovery image for the Optimus One and put the .img file on the root of my SD card, but I'm not too sure where to go from there. What do I do with the .img file on my SD card?

Install the .zip from Rom Manager?
EDIT: Downloaded Android SDK and currently installing archives. Once that finishes do I just open an adb shell window and type in the commands that he gives in the opening post?
You can also do all that in terminal emulator app without any sdk. But the command are to be typed should be exact with no mistakes.
Also do search for cwm recovery for your phone there's also another cwm recovery for ur phone that's stable. In terminal emulator app type 'su' at $ prompt than promt changes to # than type all the commands.
$ su

Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
there are other ways to get a dump, like simply getting the content:
Code:
tar czvf /sdcard/system.tgz /system
both commands need root, and they are quite possibly not on the device by default, so you probably need busybox
i don't really recommend the second command, because some other blocks are mounted into the system (like the modem),
so you would get unnecessary data
Thank you very much. :thumbup:

there should be a few ext4 drivers or mount tools out there,
google, download one that looks good, and mount the image,
then you should have the drive mounted, and you should be able to access/modify the data

I got it to work. Copy the build.prop file to your computer and make your changes there. Then reboot your phone into recovery (TWRP is what I used), mount System (in TWRP), ADB push the edited file back onto your phone, and then use the TWRP file manager to apply CHMOD 755 onto the file. Then reboot and enjoy.
That last step (CHMOD) may not be necessary. I never tried leaving that step out to confirm one way or the other.

Is it possible to flash a recovery with terminal emulator?

I know goo manager uses root permission to flash a recovery while the phone is on. So I was wondering if terminal emulator could do the same. I know this question is probably very noob-ish, but I'm curious.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You should be able to with root permission
You think you could enlighten me on the "how to"?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Yea its the same as when u do it via command prompt just do su at the start
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Place the recovery on the root of your sd card. Make sure its not in any folders. Rename the recovery img "recovery.img" without the quotes. Then open up terminal. Type "su" without the quotes. Then when you receive the # sign, then type this
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(and press enter)
you will now get this
#
now type
reboot recovery
and you should boot into your recovery you just flashed.

Ok, so what I'm trying to do is flash a stock recovery so I can take the ota. Does that sound feasible or am I just dreaming?

Its cool man we all been there. But as om4 posted you should always give exact details on what it is your trying to do or wanting to do. That way you get the best feedback. Also you can use the method I posted above to flash the stock recovery. However if you type the "reboot recovery" command and boot into the stock recovery you will have to hard shut down via power button to exit/reboot I believe. Not a 100% sure as I haven't seen the stock recovery since I first got this phone.

make sure that the file is in the right directory. Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding, you did extract the image file from the archive I linked?
