download "font changer" from market.

- instal

- run it

- close the program

- you will get ".fontchanger" folder in your sdcard, put the font that you want to instal in your android

- run fontchanger, and choose the font.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] coolexa:
thanks for the help, will try it now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] namila007:
copy your font.ttf file and rename it to DroidSans.ttf and replace /system/fonts/ by your font via rootexplorer v:) then restart

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shennar:
This is a troubleshooting method in case someone drops here and get all squares after rebooting:

You need to fix the permissions from root explorer. Just do this:

1- go to /system/fonts and long touch any original rom font (other than the one you copied) until the menu appears.

2- touch permissions

3- note the permissions (!!!DO NOT CHANGE THEM!!!)

4- close the menu and now take a look at the name of your ttf (the one that you copied) to ensure android didn't change its name when you first copied it. This happened once for me.

5- Repeat (1-3) this time on your copied file, this time DO change the permissions to match those noted in 3

5- close everything and reboot.

6- Do let me know if this fixed your problem.

Here are pictures of my AT&T Xperia Play! I met up with a guy from Fremont CA and he wanted a iphone 4 + cash on top. Where he got it he couldn't say but so far it's unreleased on the AT&T network. When I connect it to my pc, it has a system update for it already but i'm kinda hesitant to do so until it's officially released to the public.

In one picture it shows "EDGE" for the network on the home screen but I guarantee this is no R800i model or some photoshop BS. It connects to H+ once I get out of my house. I just made some quick pictures of the AT&T built in apps and phone properties in the settings.

YES the phone has AT&Ts lock for sideloading apps. I'm trying to get this to connect to my pc with Android Injector but the program doesn't recognize the phone for some reason even when the sony software suite the phone installs onto my Win7 PC.

I'm new to this forum and don't have 8posts to put yet so if any senior members would like to repost the pictures please do! Lemme know if there is any other pics needed. Sorry for the dark one, I snapped that one before I went to sleep in poor lighting.
[Xperia Play General] m3dteam:
how come AT&T get android 2.3.3 and we get 2.3.2?
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Was the Sony software suite you mentioned the PC Companion? And have you tried installing ADB? That's what I used for sideloading apps onto my Motorola Backflip.

I would recommend checking out these topics:

[HOW-TO] ADB for Dummies(How-To Learner's Guide)

[GUIDE] ADB, Fastboot, and Nandroid for Noobs

[ADB Setup] Motorola Backflip (This is what I used and it might be similar for the Xperia Play.)
[Xperia Play General] cybik:
Did you try to fastboot into it? :3
[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
Thanks guys for the tips! I may try ADB this weekend. Nope I didn't try to fastboot it but I also haven't tried rooting the phone yet either. I've just ordered some generic cases off e-bay because the OE plastic protective film is starting to come off the front and back. As a temporary fix I'm using a Japanese X10 screen film and stretched a blackberry storm rubber case over it. Functional yes...but playable function no but i'm not trying to scratch the phone up with one little mistake.

Yup it's the PC Companion software and it has AT&Ts glove logo in the upper left. As soon as I plug the phone in, it says there is an update for the phone. This being a unreleased AT&T test phone, im kinda scared to try it at the moment because I'm unsure what it's going to do. Baseband update? UI fixes? The Xperia Home does however crash sometimes when doing a cold boot and I have to force close before it loads normally. Coming from an iphone 2G-4, i've been pretty good as far as not updating too often. I don't think AT&T would be like Apple remotely kill the phone like they did the iphone 4 but who knows.

Do any of you have a R800 i or a model and got asked to update via the companion on day one upon release?

I promise to have more better pix this weekend. Just busy with work at the moment.
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
Does it have Timescape or other Sony specific bloatware installed? What about brightness? Is it adjustable or no? The Verizon edition is supposedly vanilla android with a few VZ apps. Wondering if the AT&T model is the same. Does it have a code number like R800at anywhere?
[Xperia Play General] tanquef:
I read a few posts already claiming that the verizon model will be vanilla android... but who said that? did someone saw the phone already?

do we have a source?

i dont understand why Sony Ericsson will let Verizon to remove all their soft, and then SE giving Verizon the exclusive for the US... to be honest, i dont think so, otherwise i wouldnt mind to give you any exclusive, and you will have to sell it like all the rest of phone companies at launch time....

just my 2 cents...
[Xperia Play General] emann56:
Well on GDC they were showing off the Verizon version of the phone and it had vanilla android. They even said it will come with vanilla android on launch.
[Xperia Play General] axiomjunglist:
They mentioned it at CTIA too...

[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
I have no clue on this but I'm wondering if this has anything to do with The PC Companion software never completing. I bit the bullet and tried to update the phone to see what would happen. The phone software update always fails no matter what as if it can't find the necessary components on Sonys servers.

The other two programs did install on my pc however: File browser and MediaGo and let me say Wow Media Go totally looks like a re-skinned iTunes! Anybody making the transition from iphone to xperia shouldn't have any issues.

Pictures will come later
[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
Hmm... MediaGo Store isn't working....
[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
This morning I fastloaded my Xperia Play and now the bootloader is unlocked. One thing I'm itching to do is use the R800i root method. Do you guys think this will be compatible with my play?? My build number is different.

(PS) couple of more posts and i'll be good to go to upload pix finally :p
[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
After unlocking my bootloader on my Xperia Play I noticed the AT&T Logo doesn't show up anymore when I connect the phone? Does that mean the warranty is voided now? One thing it never did was finish updating the phone software. It would always get 75% of the way and get an error. This is what it looks like before and after on the Companion Screen.

PS Updated photos on 1st page.

^ Greatest Neogeo fighter in that series....3,4,5,6 were totally unbalanced!
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Wow! I didn't think that Sony Ericsson would have unlocked the bootloader of a R800at version considering that those will most likely be locked to AT&T. Perhaps SE will sell some unlocked in the US through Sony Style or something like that?

EDIT:

Does it still ask you to update after you unlocked it? And if so, does it complete now? And does it still have the AT&T splash screen when booting, or did that go away too?
[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
When I unlocked the bootloader the Splash logo still remains but however it still doesn't update in the PC Companion. I'm wondering if because it's a "test unit"if this is the reason? It's already on 2.3.3 while I think others mentioned theirs is on 2.2.2??? Maybe the software is trying to update to 2.3.3 but realizes it's already updated? I don't know. However the phone is kinda buggy... If I do a cold boot, the phone always crashes the home launcher even on a fresh system cleanup. I really want to root this phone but I don't want to brick my unit trying the R800i method.

I still can't sideload for some reason. I tried Android Injector and Android Side Wonder Machine. The SDK can detect the phone but A.S.W.M doesn't for some odd reason?

I want to root so I can edit the adata folder and hex edit the manufacturer settings file and turn on "unknown sources to true" I hate having to sideload but at this point I can't even if I wanted to. I want to sideload my n64oid and psx4android but those aren't in the market place anymore. :(

This is a picture of a harsh crash that occured while attempting to run a PSX game in FPSe.
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Any luck getting ADB to work? I've never used either of those side-loading programs, but ADB always worked with my Backflip. Eventually I used Z4 to root it, but I don't know if that'll work on the Play.
[Xperia Play General] Warudakumi:
Finally Rooted! Gingerbreak

Well I bit the bullet and tried Gingerbreak 1.2 and it succesfuly rooted my

R800at! Scary thing tho was the fact that it took approximately 13-min to do. The phones SD card was mounted but the phone was doing something funky with the SD-card showing the unmounted "safe to remove sd icon". I got scared after reading peoples posts saying it only took about 1min on their devices.

I then tried tapping on the memory card in settings to remount but got Force Close errors! I then waited a little longer as the phone wasn't actually frozen..so maybe it was still thinking? then BAM! phone just turned off! I turned it back on and there was only a black screen with a dim backlight for about 2-3min. I was thinking to myself $*@T i just bricked the phone! 2more minutes passed and then the Sony Ericcson logo came up...frozen followed by the AT&T logo which seemed to freeze for about a good 2-3min as well.

Well patience paid off because I'm glad I didn't force power off the system while Gingerbreak was doing it's magic! I guess with the r800at it just needs some more time to setup. approx (15min) I rooted a Generic IPAD "flytab" with 1.6 android with a custom rom and it took about that long just to startup the first time...

Now I just want native "unknown sources" sideloading to be enabled and i'll be good to go.

Got ADB to work finally! Just a dumb user error.... haven't messed with a DOS like environment since 6.22 haha. I had a dumb typo and sure enough I was able to transfer my apk files from my Galaxy Tab over.
[Xperia Play General] MechaBouncer:
Excellent! Glad to hear. I know ADB can be a little cumbersome at times, but it's very useful. Plus the commands you use in it are pretty similar to using the terminal on the phone. I'm still not sure if there's a way to just turn on the option for installing from unknown sources. That would be ideal. At least now we know that it is possible to sideload apps on the R800at.
[HD Mini General] doublej4473:
HI,

I am new on this forum, and first of all I'd like to thank all the HD mini experts !

I have spent a month reading almost all principal threads, however I'd like to have some recommendations/clarifications before flashing my ROM.

I have a professional phone with French Orange Network (I'm French :))

and the information from my phone are the following :

System version : 5.2.23103 (23103.5.3.3)

Manila version 2.5.20161224.1

ROM verion 1.36.73.6 (94538) FRE :confused:

ROM Date 09/28/10 :confused:

Radio version 0.63.05.41

When I try to download last ROM version from the HTC site, it says that the version is not "suitable" for my device :eek:

So here are my questions :

1- Shall the phone be unlocked before flashing ?

2- Will the last French ROM version available on shippedROM run on my phone ?

3- Shall I dump my ROM before doing anything ?

Many thanks for your answers
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
Hi,

Here are my answers :

1- Yes

2- No,you can't run ROM's from shippedROM if the phone is carrier locked,right now you can only upgrade your ROM from Orange site

3-useless

:p
[HD Mini General] doublej4473:
Thanks a lot.

For answer two, does that mean that when it will be unlocked I'll be able to run other ROM, or am I blocked for ever with no possibility of flashing cooked ROM ?
[HD Mini General] tzacapaca:
yes you will be able to install any ROM,cooked or official ;)
[Xperia Arc General] zwilly:
When I wanted to replace my framework-res.apk to get a battery percentage I followed a wrong procedure by renaming the original file. Now my Arc is boot looped.

I used GingerBreak to get root access, did not follow the unlock procedure and I believe USB Debugging is not enabled because before renaming the file I did a factory reset.

What are the right steps (if any) to fix this?
[Xperia Arc General] dh2311:
while it is bootlooping, if you type "adb devices" does it show up?? if not you will need to flash back to stock using flashtool.
[Xperia Arc General] :
1. ownload an .ftf for FlashTool

2. Open it with WinRAR and remove userdata.sin

3. Flash with FlashTool
[Xperia Arc General] vegetaleb:
Removing userdata,sin will keep user data?
[Xperia Arc General] dh2311:
yes, all userdata should be kept
[Xperia Arc General] zwilly:
Fixed the problem by running SEUS update and choosing the Repair option. Explained how to connect the phone to run a repair update. Now all is well again. Thanks for the help guys.
[Xperia Arc General] Vintiem:
zwilly, can you please help me. Got the same problem as you had.

But I don't know how te reach "repair option"

Kind regards,

Vintiem
[Xperia Arc General] zwilly:
These are the steps I followed, dont connect phone yet:

1. Start Sony Ericsson PC Companion

2. Click on START under Support Zone

3. Click on START under Software Update

4. Click on repair phone

5. Click on Continue to start the repair

6. Check the option that you understand data will be lost of internal memory, this is not the SD card, and click on Next

7. Just follow all remaining steps....
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
my Arc is bootlooping following replacing the framework-res.apk - I can see it when I run ADB devices, but it won't let me remount in RW.... anyone seen this before or know how I could repair?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuobob:
My dad'll be getting an asus eee pad transformer soon, and I have a few questions about apps:

1. How much apps does the honeycomb market have? Are there a lot of good apps(fun games or useful tools)?

2. Will the transformer run android phone apps? And what will happen if I install an apk of a phone app on honeycomb

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreadnought001:
This list has become the unofficially 'official' list of apps optimised for Honeycomb.

http://forum.androidcentral.com/mot...al-optimized-honeycomb-apps-list-n-155-a.html

Basically though, most Android apps on the market will work on your tablet and they will automatically stretch to fit the screen though not always perfectly and the odd app won't install or work at all. However on a daily basis now developers are updating their apps to be either compatible with or optimsed for Honeycomb. Just got to be a little patient...:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neoprimal:
1. Not sure, ~79 maybe 80 by now? That's counting the apps under the Featured Tablet Apps screen. A lot is stretching it, unless the stuff you decide you want ports from the phone to the tablet well, in which case yes there are lots to choose from.

2. It can and will. You will be able to access and install most of the Android Market (Froyo, Gingerbread etc.) stuff, it's still essentially 1 market you just get to see Tablet specific stuff in addition to the phone stuff whereas phones just see phone stuff. If you install an apk of a phone app on honeycomb it will either a. work perfectly, b. work but fit into a phone sized portion of the screen or c. force close (aka, not work at all). There's not much harm in trying. I'd advise you to stick with installing what's visible to the tablet in the Android Market, for now. I'm assuming there's some reason you can't see certain apps in the Tablet Android Market App and I'm confident there will be ports for them all soon enough.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] humpinbaybays:
Ok I am somewhat new to android let alone it being on the HD2 and I'm in the process of creating my, own rom. But I have to ask , why isn't there a TouchWiz rom floating around? I've seen Sense on a Vibrant and i've seen TouchWiz on a Desire and an Evo. So I'm just curious , why isn't their a TouchWiz Rom for our oh so versatile HD2?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunny_ar:
Hi,

I bought my Desire off eBay India but its a SIM unlocked T-mobile UK piece (it shows the pink t-mobile logo flash screen, has Top Apps installed and had t-mobile UK websites as bookmarks in the browser when I got it). It already had froyo when I got it.

I want to root my desire and was going through the "Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide" in which the first step mentions downloading the provider's ROM.

My HBOOT shows the following:

bravo pvt4 ship s-on

hboot-0.93.0001

microp-31d

touch panel-SYNW0101

radio-5.11.05.27

Aug 10 2010,17:52:18

And the firmware details are:

android 2.2

baseband 32.49.00.32u_5.11.05.27

kernel 2.6.32.15-gd96f2c0 htc-kernel"at"and18-2 # 1

build 2.12.110.4 CL274424 release keys

software 2.12.110.4

browser webkit 3.1

which match the details I found of the web for other t-mobile UK desires.

Now, my question is, which RUU would I need to flash if I ever wanted to unroot or put the stock ROM back?

I searched the shipped ROMs page and all I could find was this OTA update -OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_UK_2.12.110.2-1.21.110.4_release3uop1mw9unpc376h.

1) Am I missing something? Will I need a T-Mobile 2.1 ROM? Or should I create a Goldcard?

2) If I flash a T-Mobile ROM, will my phone become SIM Locked? (I know there is a SIM unlock utility available here but just for info).

Please help.

I really don't know at this stage as I don't know the process to convert it back.

I can make a system.img using a kitchen but cant seem to complete the package with kernel etc.

you could always try flashing the kernel again it's worth a shot?
