Cheers!

Are these what you need (attached)? I used Titanium Backup to rip them out as backups and extracted the apks from the backups. They "should" still work...

oh thank you!! They are indeed the right font(s)!
Samsung Sans is drop dead pretty. Far prettier than Roboto. Cheers!
EDIT:
By the way, how did you extract them with TiBackup? Would love to learn, in case in the future I need to do further extracting!

You're welcome.
It's probably easier to just run some shell commands to copy the apk's out to the SDcard, but this is what I did with TiBu:
Searched for "font" to narrow it down to just these 5 items
Batch backed them up as usual
Connected phone to PC and browsed the phone for the TitaniumBackup folder.
Inside, you'll see three files associated with each app - the one we want is the .apk.gz
Extracted the contents of the file - it contains only an apk with a really long filename
Grabbed the "real" name of the .apk from TiBu by touching the app name in the list, and then touching the name of it highlighted in yellow. This gives the apk name among other info.
Rename the really-long-named apk that was extracted with the name obtained in the previous step.
Can somebody give me the font Samsung Sans in ttf format (not apk)? I cannot find it in the web.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for the proper directory to push wallpapers into my device, so I won't have to load it off the SD Card. Especially interested to inject the default Desire wallpapers.
Thanks,
Evan
The wallpapers are usually part of an apk. Usually it is Launcher.apk
If you know how to edit the files within an apk, that is one way, if not, its pretty simple, just find the wallpaper you want. Find the one you want to replace. Rename the wanted wallpaper to the same as the wallpaper you will be replacing. Copy it over and do the same for the wallpaper_small.png file that corresponds. Then either adb push or use an adb GUI to get the launcher.apk back over to the phone.
This is in no way, a detailed description, just the jist of how to do things.
launcher2.apk if you're running Android 2.0 or higher.
But otherwise, above is correct.
Cheers guys,
Can I just keep adding files? Or do I have to rename files?

No, you can't just add... there are a pre-defined and finite number of "slots" - you can't include more than the application currently supports. Files need to be exactly the correct names.
Also, if the files are different sizes, or you change too many, you'll upset the digital signature on the launcher2.apk you'll need to resign the launcher2.apk file before pushing it back.
If that all sound too hard let me know...

That does sound a bit 'hard'. But nothing I can't tackle with a bit of reading.
So, how do re-sign the launcher2.apk file?

Let me know how you get on.
That doesn't sound overly complicated, but it's too much work for a single wallpaper from the HTC Desire. As of right now, it resides in the SDCard. And I do use HelixLauncher2. I wish there's a simpler way… let's say, like an app that can inject files directly into HelixLauncher2.
Thanks for your help, though!
Fair enough.
You may be interested in keeping an eye on Kang-o-rama, that uses HelixLauncher2 and I'll be adding some static wallpapers back in in version 0.6.
If you are interested, let me know which wallpaper you want and I'll put it in there for you...
hey,
I wanted to extract "Torch" application from "Azure" Rom and few other applications. as Torch is the only working app which did really enable the LED for HTC Legend.
I actually opened the ZIP package to path \azure-1.0.1.zip\system\app where the applications are stored, every app comes in APK and OBEX files. I extracted few APKS, non of them worked.
I am seeking some help for extracting the application from the ROM.
Thanks in advance!
lamppu is a good LED torch. You need root to use it, look in market

I have looked in market, but it doesnt seem to exist there. However, do you know anyway to extract the application as working APK file?
Any other LED torches that works with LEGEND?
*EDIT: well, I found it, its named Lamppu. but anyway it didnt work, although my phone is rooted! why is that?
Try Extended Controls, there is a Torch Widget which worked on my HTC Legend. (NOTE:Root access Required For this very Widget)

If you find a ROM that has both .apx and .odex in the app-folder you will not get it to work by only extracting the .apk file.. You need both of the files in order to include them in another ROM..
Use a backup program like Titanium backup or MyBackup pro: they will extract for you.

That makes sense...but who would I merge the .apk and .obex together to be in one .apk file so I can install it?
Or maybe you know some way I can install these files?
Help would be really appreciated.

You mean like after loading the custom ROM, I backup the application I want then restore them after I load the custom I want?!
This is just long process of backing up your data then load custom rom, then back to the old rom, then root then restore...
I thought there might be easier and shorter ways?!
Any help would be appreciated. Gracias!
Anyone to help?????
try the kitchen method.
Scout around in the .zip to find the package you want, copy the .apk to your ADB directory and then, with the phone plugged in:
Code:
adb install [I]path-to-package[/I].apk

To be honest you've answered your own question. What you've done is the easiest way to pull an app from a ROM. So if your issue is something else it may be an idea to re-write your question (again, I know. Sorry).
I also apologise for mis-interpreting your question the first time 'round. I hope my help in this post is better.

Your help so much appreciated mate!
Well, the last conclusion I got to is, the .apk and .obex files are actually one file but they were divided to 2 files just to make them work better, so if you take the .apk file only it wont work as it will be missing the other .obex file.
Anyway, I am also guessing there is a way to merge the 2 files back, I read a little about "de-odex" but I couldnt really get the best help I could get. I will post the solution once I get to it.
Thanks again for your help mate!

I know it's a pain, but de-odexing the whole rom might help. Unless you already did this, in which case something is wrong with your download I imagine.

Ok, So after copying 200 or so png's in the Drawable_xlarge_mdpi and the drawable_mdpi folder, I get my image mods after flashing.
But, they still only show the stock number of images, 9 or 10. Charging works ok.
So somewhere, there are some xml files I need to edit to reflect the filename additions?
Or am I missing something else?
A501 HC 3.2
Thanks guys and girls!
Battery_Charge.xml & Battery_Discharge.xml should be what your looking for.

Thanks. I kind of figgured those were the xml files I was looking for. Problem is, I'm playing hell with de-compiling my framework-res to be able to edit the xml files.
Can't make much progress with the apktools available, even when including the dependancy apk's. So clearly I am a noob with decompiling framework-res
So my next question, is there any difference between a com gen 1 stat_battery_charge.xml; for the a500 and 501? If not, is it feasible to switch the modified xml to replace the current stock one?
here is how i mod those files as well as the icons and so on
i copy the system ui.apk to a folder on my desktop
i open it with winrar.. DO NOT EXTRACT IT.. pull out the folder containing the png files or xms you want to edit.. Just drag and drop them to another folder..
edit them to your hearts desire.
open the system.ui apk again in win rar.. drag the edited folder back into the system.ui.. push it to your tablet.. to say download folder..
then copy it to the original place it will ask you to replace say yes.. your tablet will CRASH .. REBOOT then if you edited the files corectly it will boot and show your changes.
i dont know if this is the correct way easiest way .. but IT DID WORK FOR ME.. USE AT YOUR OWN DESCRESSION..
I could send you the apktool I am using. Its the only one I have found that works worth honeycomb.

Thanks Erica! That's what I've been doing Actually, wanted to do some editing to the xml files itself. It's easy for png's, at they don't get compiled.
Anytime we take the first step, and install iconiaroot, we do so at our own discretion
Here's an updated apk_manager if you prefer that method.
I normally use a CWM zip since I have to reboot anyway. You can usually start with any theme zip and just make sure their updater-script copies /system to /system and just look through the zip to see what it copies, and if it looks normal, you can make the directory structure the same but copy your own over the old ones (and delete any orginal files that you won't be overwriting). i.e. it should look like:
system/app/SystemUI.apk
system/framework/framework-res.apk
system/fonts/blah.ttf
Just drag your files into the zip in the same place and use it.
And then as a precautionary measure, just do this once or any time you mess with more files (for inexperienced modders): Make a 2nd copy of that zip and call it blah-revert.zip then copy the orginal files over those modified files. Once you have both zips on the device, if anything goes wrong you can flash the revert to get back quick.
Ok..Here it is flashable "ES Explorer". Might be useful for someone else also

You could always download one from the market.
Or use 7-zip to open another ROM.zip, system/app and pull it out. Then use 7-zip again to unzip AOKP, put the file manager into system/app, rezip it and then flash it.
File managers are freely available. Is there a reason why you can't get one from the market. No SIM or WIFI access, maybe?
thank you
OP-thank you.
Many timse now I have flashed on the run. Some times I am on limited data or in a no coverage area. And then the times I don't want to install gapps.... yes... this is very useful.
@woodrube- thanks for the tip on the 7zip trick... I don't know why but I never thought about that. I extract stuff like that all the time... I feel stupid not thinking of that. That will be most use full next time I pan fry bacon. thank you. :highfive:
Xplore is a pretty good file manager. Its user interface us really great for copying files and stuff

The easiest way is to open a rom zip file with 7zip and simply drag your favorite file manager to to /system/app/ folder.
Or you can use this premade flashable zip file and put in your own apks to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572962

I flashed Ricky Bush's file to get the iOS emojis but when I unroot my phone any app which requires a keyboard cannot be used. I assume it is because unrooted phones cannot work with a keyboard with iOS smileys.
And is the File from Ricky Bush only changing the NotoColorEmoji file or is it doing even more? If so, how can I undo it without factory resetting?
I mean the stock font* if it is something else than NotoColorEmoji and I have the Oxygen-OS-Version 4.5.15 if there is a difference.
You mean you want the stock NotoColorEmoji.ttf file from OOS 4.5.15? If yes, it's attached with this post. If you want it as a flashable zip, let me know and I'll make one for you.
Thank you, ive also searched my phone everywhere for the so called "system -> fonts" folders, but couldnt find them, do you know where they are located on the oneplus5?

You'd need root and a file manager to view the system folder and replace the modded file with the original file I attached.
