[Q] So, I did something dumb

So, I just flashed my phone with the [EC07]clean ROM from this thread and everything went fine. I was having a good time, and really enjoyed some of the stuff that we could not benefit from while running 2.1.
My brother has the same phone and asks if you can adjust the screen resolution (I don't know why he wants to, but I was looking around in ROM toolbox and it had had a setting for it so I foolishly decided to experiment. now twlauncher force quits on me on boot and I can't figure out how to restore my default settings.
I am sorry if this question has been asked previously, but does anyone know how to restore my screen resolution to default without wiping and reflashing?
I promise to be a good noob in the future and not mess with things unless I am sure I know how to clean up my own messes. Thanks in advance for any help.

I can't help you but this did make me laugh.

I believe there's a root app in the market that's allows u to set screen res/density not sure what its called though and before doing that u really should've made a nand but u can probably just reinstall the Rom without wiping anything and that'll restore any system changes u did

Yeah, I used an app like that, but without twlauncher I can't figure out how to launch an app to fix it.

I found my own answer, with just a little more searching. In this thread trailblazer indicates that the resolution is stored in the rom. I reflashed (which took like 5 minutes) and it's fixed. I hadn't really changed anything else, so I am back right where I was.

Miui bootloop after fontchange, please help. ((5$ on paypal reward))

PLEASE MOVE TO QUESTIONS IF THIS IS WRONG PLACED
Hi guys, this morning i changed font in theme manager on my arc, running official miui ics. It told me to restart to apply and i did, now my phone is stuck in bootloop, i tried reflashing, without help. I really dont wanna format if possible. Is there any way i can change the font back on my pc, or maybe revert what i've done?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Maybe someone can tell me what the file is called, where it states which font to use? so i can take a nandroid backup, edit it back, and reflash it?
Thanks a lot in advance!

You tried /system/fonts/ ?

Guess you didn't do a backup.... If you got cwm and have a backup then use restore> advanced> system this should get you going again.
If not I don't think you have much choice but to re- install

recover build.prop

Hi,
I got many times the message, in google play, that app xx is not for my device.
After googeling about this issue, I have found that there is the possibility to change this when I change some values in the build.prop.
I have change this values and after a reboot I stick to the yellow triangle boot menu.
I can change to recovery mode and I have CWM 5.5.0.4 there
Is there a possibility to change the values in the build.prop or must I flash over PC Odin to get the device back to normal working?
Many thanks for your help.
BR Al

i dont get what you mean ?
Do you want to edit the build.prop but are wondering how to get the original one back if it fails ?
Or have you already changed it ?

I have already changed it and rebooted.
Now I get stucked.

Oh I see, re flash the ROM that should suffice

try this

Download it, remove the build.prop, copy the build.prop from your current ROM and place it into the zip.
Then flash it in CWM

well I flashed now the lq2 lp6 lpt stock :crying:, of course there is no root NOW, I will look into the other threads to get root back.
Thanks for your help.

btw. maybe anyone can help me to remove the google play restriction for the apps?
Thanks

What apps are you getting restrictions on? There are various different levels, including tablet and tegra.

sounds like you might have changed the lcd density to a non standard one

HELP - build.prop

DPI Changer has broken my Nexus 7, after boot I just see the Google logo and then a black screen.
Using recovery I was able to take the backup DPI Changer created (\sdcard\build.prop.bak) and overwrite \system\build.prop, but that has done no good. Can someone share a unedited and working build.prop or any suggestion on how to correct. Thanks!

yes but i used recovery to restore the original build.prop and still brick
this is crazy, it was always easy to change and play around the build.prop why the brick?
is there a fix without reflashing image?

same problem here.......anyone?

Okay I did this once and I have found only one solution that no one will like... you have to reinstall the ROM. Dun Dun Dunnnn.....
Lol but seriously that's how I fixed it. But I did it through fastboot because I like the thoroughness of it

I'm not sure bow you restored you buildprop but I just messed up mine on my china tablet. I could still use adb tho so this is what I did.... I put my build.prop file in android-sdk/platform-tools and then in adb I typped
adb remount
adb push build.prop /system
adb reboot

[Q] Newly installed fonts don't work

I just got the Samsung S4 and have been trying to install new fonts without any success. they download and install but when I go to choose one no matter which one I choose it says that font is not available. They do show up in the settings but I just can'[t make one the font I want to use. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Questions go in Q&A
Thread moved

same issue
Yup, i installed fonts from the store and i get the same error. Anyone help?

Yeah, it's really strange too because all these fonts I downloaded show up and can be used in Handcent. I would love to remove them now and I have tried to uninstall them and they won't go away. My only alternative is to reset my phone and I can't do that at the moment because I rooted my phone last night and now I have to wait for a recovery to be devoloped to remove the root before I reset my phone. The phone is working, the root process went fine I just don't know enough about rooting to even had done that so I feel more comfortable going back to a non-rooted phone. I just wish they would hurry up ........

I remember reading something a few days ago on xda about this. Someone posted a reply saying that it might be the fonts havent been optimized for full HD.

Only the paid fonts from the play store work so far.
