Stock fonts - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded to the lollipop fonts, but I don't like it. I didn't back up my old fonts because it looked like I was gonna like the new ones...so can someone please zip the /system/fonts folder and from /system/etc the system_fonts.xml?

Just dirty flash the rom you are using, don't wipe data, just caches and system. Next time make a nandroid first and you won't have to worry about it.

I can't do that, I have edited a lot of the /system partition and I would rather not lose those edits.

Unzip the rom, take what you need and zip it with 7zip or push it to where it belongs.

Hi,
Always make a Nandroid backup first...
Here in attachment the file you need (in /system/bin), it's not a flashable zip.
Copy-it to /system/bin then set the correct permissions (like the other files, rwxr-xr-x) then reboot.
thanks a lot,trying

Unzip mod zip
unzip rom zip
Replace the files in the mod zip with ones from rom zip
rezip and Flash
manually delete any extra files that were in mod zip but not rom zip
Of course it's much easier to restore your nandroid backup but for some reason no one here ever makes one even though I keep telling people to
doubt

You replace any files from the mod zip with ones from the rom zip
by flashing it you are replacing the files from the mod zip with ones from the rom zip
Any extra files that are in the mod zip but not in rom zip Manually remove with a root browser
This should then put your phone back to pre mod flashing
Remember ALWAYS make a nandroid backup in future
thanks

@marcussmith2626: Dude, its only hard for noobs.
@abhishekr700: I can't help you when you choose to be a noob. You can follow marcussmith2626 if you want to restore your backup files.
If you don't need to restore or if you have not created a backup, then download stock ROM for your phone and flash it with odin.
There are lots of tutorials to flash it with odin. So don't ask me how to do so.
Press thanks if I helped you.

you can try this:
look in the theme for which files it have and then choose this files but from your current romzip or themezip what you used before you flashed the theme and replace it with the ones you didnt need on your phone,when you didnt have some files than its your fail,because a NANDROID BACKUP is allways recomned before doing changes in anyway
Recommend
Only odex version of the stock rom produce these kind of force close problems.
Try to flash deodexed stock rom. It will solve all the force close issues.
But the only problem is that it occupies more memory.
You can even extend your internal storage either by partitioning the sd-card or by swapping method.
Feel free to PM me if the problem doesn't get solved.
Press thanks if I have helped you.

[Q] Help me! I need a file for all the hardware keys

I was trying to disable the hardware buttons, the one next to the home button, and use on screen buttons. But when I edited the file the first time the back button was disabled which is what I wanted but not the other button (menu?). So I tried again and when es file explorer saved it, it saved it as a empty text document. So what I'm asking you is a copy of your generic.kl file which is located in system>use>keylayout. Im sorry if this is in the wrong place im just kinda scared about what could happen, like not being able to power back on. Thank you!

You should start making backups. Everyone runs into problems eventually and if you had a backup you could revert to a 100% stable system with only a few clicks.
The file that you can want can be found in the full, stock firmware image. Just download the full firmware and use winrar to extract what you need.
.
Just dirty flash the rom you have (without a wipe).

I thought you knew exactly what file you accidentally corrupted. In your original post you said

So on that basis, you could extract the cited file from the TWRP system image. Or temporarily restore it and copy that file. Or for that matter simply restore the entire /system partition. The latter would cover you even if you weren't positive which system files were corrupted.
So boot to TWRP, wipe your system cache, then restore the system partition from a known good backup and call it day.

Need to verify where files need to be for flash for FULL wipe in TWRP

Hello,
Yes I know this is a DUMB question but when I used to flash my other phones I physically had an SDcard in it and knew if my files were on it. I have been having nothing but issues with my experience lately and am getting past each part carefully.
I am wondering where on the file structure the files need to be as in when I do a FULL wipe in recovery I do not wipe the files.
I have attached my screenshot, I take my files from the download folder and put them in the / to me what would be considered the root folder.
It then looks like it is called an emulated folder. I just wanted to verify this does not get wiped from TWRP.
Thanks!
I keep everything rom related in a directory called ROMs in /storage/emulated/0. Everything in my rom directory is retained after a full wipe.
Btw, it's a smart question.
OK, thanks I appreciate the response.
Now I just need to figure out why I was having so many problems installing a custom ROM.
