[Q] Flipfonts? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a lot of flipfonts that worked on my old SGS 3 LTE. But now that I have upgraded to the S5 most if not all of them has stopped working. Has others experienced this and possibly have a workaround or fix?

Download iFont from Google Play. Let's you use almost any fonts (like from Google, not just flipfonts).

Already tried that, and it didn't work. It still only replaced the font I was already using and didn't install it like an actual font I can chose from, which is what I want.

It does for me...? It installs fonts to my list of fonts in settings.

It doesn't for me. When I download a font I merely have the option to set it, which means it replaces the present font I have selected under font style. The second I change away from that, and back to it, the font I have set is lost and the "original" font is back. I can't install them since I don't seem to be able to determine where the files are saved so that I can move them to custom and try to install them that way around.
But do you know that by chance?

And you both have S5's?. My only option is to set it, which replaces the font I am already using. I cant install it and thus make it appear in the "font" app on the phone . And not even if I try to add the files via custom.
Are you using the free app or paid one?

I just tied iFont for the first time today with my S5.
In the free version, you can't create apks for custom fonts (which is the method that puts them in the font menu). I think I tried hitting 'set' on the custom menu and it gave me the donate nag screen as well.
It seems that the default method if you're rooted is to replace the system font. What I did though is deny root access using supersu, and then installing a font downloaded through the app used the apk/font menu method - that worked fine.
But, I ultimately wanted to install my own truetype fonts. Prior to iFont, I had tried a couple methods for packaging them into apks. I could install the apks, and see the fonts in the menu with previews, but if I selected them, they said they were unsupported. Used iFont (donate version) to make the apks from the same font files, and they worked!

Pay for ifont. It will create executable apk to install any font you desire.

Market problem with Roto JME v3

Dear all.
First off Roto's JME v3 is great. I give it a 9/10. The one missing point is because of the following problem I immediately faced after flashing from my German stock firmware (I don't have this verison # here atm, but can get it later, if needed).
Android Market:
Problem 1:
NHL Gamecenter app not found in Android Market. The app was available to me on the stock firmware but now I can't find it in the market. Not current under paid apps NOR under app search. It simply is not there. It is on my Desire Z and also can be found of my friend's Galaxy S.
Solution:
??
Problem 2:
Not able to download NitroDesk's TouchDown License Key. Program is found but not the key. Was found on my stock fw and also on my Desire Z.
Solution:
Got a license number from NitroDesk. Still unable to find the program in market tho!
I would really appreciate any help as the NHL Gamecenter is THE app I used to use on my gal tab!
Leaked firmware versions aren't know by the android market. To fix this you need to edit the build.prop file. There are several apps who can do that for you.
I myself use Eris Market Fix. Be aware though that the roto packages contains a buggy busybox. If you use that with Eris Market Fix your tab won't start up.
First update your busybox with the BusyBox app on the market place (17.1 is the most stable version) than run Eris Market Fix, reboot your Tab and you're done. All apps will be visible again.
Eris fix is also not showing in market..
Sorry if this is trivial but have you set your csc to XEU. Default is KOR and *could* lead to something like that.
*#272*<IMEI># afair
This will wipe your internal sdcard so do a TB backup first.
I would try that first. No roto-jme has been seen to cause that before...
Cheers,
Hal.

Have you checked your CSC Code?
# cat /sytem/csc/sales_code.dat
Should be DBT for germany.
to change the sales code, you can simply remount the system filesystem read/write ,
echo "DBT" >/system/csc/sales_code.dat
and reboot.

Open /system/build.prop in Root Explorer's text editor on the Tab, change XXJME to XXJK5, or whatever your stock version was (XXJK5 should work fine though), in ro.build.fingerprint. This will allow you to see your missing and protected apps in the market.
You can also edit build.prop by pulling it to your computer with ADB, editing it and pushing it back, but Root Explorer is much faster and easier to work with.
Edit: this issue has nothing to do with the CSE or what it is set to.
Thanks

No just edit the ro.build.fingerprint. That did it for me. I just replaced JME with JK5.

Does it mean that you can change CSC without doing *#272*IMEI# and a full wipe ? Is it working for samsung app as well ?
Interestingly I changed my code from JME to JJ4 which is the original firmware my GT came with, but still wouldn't find b0ricuaguerrero's game. Changed it to JK5 and it popped up.
The idea obviously works well though, cheers!

I can't open then file using the text editor as it tells me it is a read-only file, and i am not comfortable using ADB, any other suggestions?
EDIT: ok never mind i was able to do it, but when i launch the market i only see 2 apps that installed and nothing else....
EDIT: ok i think either market is started to work properly on its own or i may have fixed it but all i did was re-flash JME v4 and so far it seems to work, but sure was a pain in the you know what.......

[APP] Android L Launcher

Just wanted to mention that the official Android L launcher works on our Tabs
I have attached the .apk
You have to change the build.prop to get the new UI
set ro.build.version.codename to L and reboot
It works also as a system app, no FC's.
Supports 4.2.2 / 4.3 / 4.4.2
Note: You have to update/download the latest Google Search app and Google Mail may force closing
Proceed with caution, you may end up having boot-loops !
Thanks go to:

UA,
hi i would ask that you amend your post to mention this launcher requires google search to be functional.
As per your instructions I did so and the launcher does not register as system app without google search,
and on regular install call for updated google search to function.
thank you for reading.

When you say, "set it to L", you ARE referring to the property value under where it says ro.build.etc.... correct?

It seems like, you screwed up inside the build.prop
Or, it only works as a system app on 4.4.2, that would be bad.
I will check that, thank you for trying and sorry if you got any problems because of me.

well, i used root explorer to edit build.prop, and i didnt change anything except switch REL with L...
but i guess build.prop was screwed somehow, it managed to stay on for a while before the reboot a few times (for about half a minute), but it kept giving the fc error screens for play services, mail, etc, and then restarted again.
I will try it in a few minutes!

When first time I installed this launcher I changed the build.prob as u said....
And after a week I came to know that gmail is get fc's every time
I saw the log of gmail and came to know that the changes made in the build.prob coz of that gmail app getting fc...
Then I changed it to og value in build.prob
From then everything is working totally fine
So I don't think that we should change the codename, without changing it everything is working fine...even gmail app

[Q] Change font on Note 4

Hi guys. Need a little enlightenment here.
I have rooted my note 4 recently, and want to change the fonts. I've downloaded iFont and HiFont to change it but when I selected my desired font to change, it prompted "Not enough storage space". Googled it up, pointed to app cache issues. Cleared it, but still not able to change. Not even the default ones like rosemary can be selected.
Just to share what happened after the rooting process as well; I changed the lcd density in build.prop to 200. Gosh that was a bad move. keyguard(something something) prompted forced to stop after restarted. Couldn't press a single thing. Attempted to put in TWRP recovery via Odin on PC, but prompted failed. I had no choice but to wipe data. After I reboot and the setup and stuff, then this happen after I attempted to change font.
Don't change the LCD density too far away from default as it can cause you trouble.
Thanks for the advice. But I guessed I've learnt that the hard way at the expense of my data. I'm more concerned on the changing of fonts.
Anyone please help?

There is this amazing zip out there you can flash and get 300 fonts installed without issue. It's awesome.
Sent from the first Samsung Galaxy ever
I hope the below screenshot gives a better idea as to what I am talking about. As you can see from the screenshot, a custom font is selected. It prompts me this message. Installing of fonts is not a problem. It's the selection part.
seems like a question that no one has an answer to. SOMEONE CLOSE THE DAMN THREAD.
Maybe not enough space on the ROM for the fonts maybe try uninstall some system apps to free space

Has to be a ROM issue, I have never encountered that and for a note 4, not enough space sounds ridiculous
It's alright guys. I've done my backup and flashed the stock rom and wiped everything. It's working now.

[How to] Debloating 6.0.1

Trying to help, I post here the file I'm using to debloat new 6.0.1
All seems to be working fine.
It's a heavy debloating: I am disabling also Samsung account, shop, themes (apply your preferred one before disabling). I am saving Samsung touch wiz and Keyboard, even if I am using Google Launcher and Keyboard, as it's always safe to have them.
[Update]
New file as previous one was broken.
Hi,
How do you use this .xml file ??
Thanks for your thread by the way
Buy for a couple of bucks Package Disabler Pro and import this file. Then customize at need.
Your list does not work
I click import, search the file in the folder and then nothing happens
Greets
Try the new one and let me know.
There has been an update in the app and they have changed the xml format.
Thanx
The new one work.
But there are much more apps to disable like Adapt Sound f.e.
Or see Screenshot
Greets
I bought this app, and when i tried to activate it, it didn't worked...
I tried 2 times already...
And this app only disabled or we can delete the apps as well ? Because after every reboot we'll have to do it again right ?

Google Phone Won't Install

Has anyone been able to install the Google Phone app? It's not listed on the Play Store for this device and I'm not sure why, but I've tried sideloading this apk and it won't install. I have a US version and I'm rooted running xposed if that helps...

It's this app completely restricted to Nexis and Pixels now?

The newest update to Google Dialer has restrictions set by the Play Store so only Nexus devices can install it. Not only that, but the new APK also will not install on non-Nexus devices.

You can download the aroma instead of stock so that you would be able to choose the apps you want to flash in the aroma installer
I'm using the flashable Google dialer and contacts from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/apps-themeable-hangouts-layers-cmte-t3113192 (down towards the bottom of post #4 - where it says [Link to goodies])
The only thing I notice is the contacts sometimes crashes when trying to add a picture, so I have to use the stock contacts to add the pictures.
IMPORTANT: After you do this, go in and make it the default "dialer", or it will reboot your phone when you try to use it.

You'll want to go to "Default Apps" in the main "all settings" menu (see pic).
Then click "Dialer" and choose the one you want.
