I really hate the TNT settings display. So I create an update to replace the Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk to change them back to stock Android 2.2. This is a post for anybody that wants to do the same.
Edit:
I have added a rollback update.
Instructions:
download to root of sdcard.
Start tablet while holding volume + and power.
"install zip from scard"
"choose zip from sdcard"
select .zip

Will this give us access to more settings than TnT? (I'd really like to be able to set a lock pin/pattern and a few other settings to adjust)
Yes. to all the settings. But lock pin/pattern does not seem to work in TNT. Going to research it some more. Also "Auto Brightness" does not work. But everything else seems to work.

I just want to do this to enable wifi location but I will switch back...I like their settings
Auto brightness is working on TnT settings for me, does this break that?
Read this first, please
I've tried to do this a few times -- but, from my experience, two things break:
- Brightness adjustment. Minor, as you can add an Market app or a widget to get around that. But....
- You can't add new widgets or shortcuts on your home screen. This is the one that kept me from changing the Settings apk in TnT Lite.
Not sure if this is fixed on the zip in this thread, as I haven't tested it.
Btw, you can add alternate keyboards if you use a stock Settings apk (ie. wiimote) -- so that's a plus.

Yup totally borks widget additions
You have a restore for this "fix" ?
Never claimed a "fix". I said replacement. I can create a rollback.

I think it could be infinity useful if i can hook up to wpa then roll back to tnt settings. Don't get me wrong.
Just a warning "this will not allow you to put widgets on your screen" would be nice
Keep at it though, I am truly looking forward to a fully featured normal android settings wonder if the zpad settings apk would work?
Thank you for the roll back seemed to fix te setting fc I was receiving from tnt 2.1

TnT w/ 3rd party keyboard
NOTE: LRiley has an alternative that is much simpler and doesn't require wiping:
LRiley said:
To enable the keyboard u can't install u have to manually put them in the system/app folder set the permissions and restart. They will automatically be enabled, I tried a non compatable keyboard and got force closes but I was able to set it as an input method

The way I figured out:
Thanks to this, I can now use UltraKeyboard and SwiftKey on the gtablet running with TnT Lite 2.1.1.
Here's what I did:
* Install CWM recovery. Instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844088
* Reboot into CWM recovery
* Wipe everything
* Install TnT Lite 2.0 (the update.zip inside gtab_tnt_lite_v2.00.zip) and the 2.1.1 supplement (update.zip inside gtab_tnt_lite_v2.11_suppl.zip) from zip Instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
* Reboot into TnT Lite 2.1.1
* Install Titanium Backup by side loading from the official site (http://matrixrewriter.com/android/)
* Perform the market fix. Instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
* Install 3rd party keyboards in Market (I tried UltraKeyboard and SwiftKey)
* Note that you can't enable the 3rd party keyboards in Language & Keyboard
* Reboot into CWM recovery
* Install the stock Settings in the OP from zip (hhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9532446&postcount=1 Replace_TNT_Settings.zip)
* Reboot into TnT Lite 2.1.1
* Enable the 3rd party keyboards
* Reboot into CWM recovery
* Rollback back to the TnT settings from zip (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9532446&postcount=1 Rollback_TNT_Settings.zip)
I can now use the various keyboards (including the Tap 'n Tap Western keyboard) and switch between them by long-clicking in a text field and choosing Input Method.
If only this thing had a wider viewing angle I wouldn't have to return it. Sigh.
Yup going to use it tomorrow to try and set up wpa at work

This should also work for the Bluetooth issues, until I can figure out what borked it. The stock settings apk should work.

Hey Roebeet not sure if you meant stock as TnT settings or not.
In case it didn't: Your system setting (from TnT Lite)also allow for wiimote and other alt keyboards. I have it installed both with instruction from here in XDA Gtablet. Just placing them on system/app changing permissions and installing them.
Reinstallation Issues?

I had read in another forum of phones behaving in similar matter. FCs happening to applications, only by adb pulling and then pushing them back did the FCs go away. It was like a reset in the android OS. Like the settings, these were system apps.
My TNT Settings are still FCing after Removing and Reapplying the TNT. Is this working for anyone else?
The regular Android Settings didn't FC, maybe I'll use that as default and only revert to add widgets.
Hi,
I'm using Jellyfish's 2.2 build3 ROM on my blade. I deleted an app called smartdailer.apk and now i have lost the ability to actually type in and dial phone numbers.
I am presuming the default dialer is still there as i can call my contacts (the default dialer is bundled with the contacts app) but i do not have a link to it nor any icon I can click on to access it.
Does anyone know how to restore the froyo 2.2 default dailer?
I'm using ADW launcher and want to place an icon on my home screen
SmartDialer.apk is the default dialler app from ZTE. You can use adb to push this file back after extracting a copy from the ROM zip, or (if you've not changed other bits of the /system directory) you could just flash the ROM again without wiping your data.
Hmm well i reinstalled it so no worries there, but this isn't the dialier i had when i first flashed my phone (different froyo rom)
I'm sure that was the default android one it offered easy access to contacts via tabs at the top of the screen.
I tried posting an image but i'm not allowed as i have less than 8 posts.
Hi, recently I have played with some fonts using ifont app. Now I want to revert back to default font but in some apps (Google Chrome, Instagram) old font (Caviar Dream) keep showing. I have delete them in ifont app but it still show in certain apps. What I need to do to go back to default one?
I have same problem, is there any way?
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.
