Font Installer Root does not have a font called MIUIFont. Does it have another name?

Does anyone know where I'd be able to download it or find a link to a ttf?

for sum odd reason my phone started to reboot by itself when it rebooted the third time it gave me sum force close message i couldnt turn off the phone so what i did was remove the batter and tried turning the phone back on but now it wont turn on, every time i press the on button it just gives me a REDlight... is my phone broken?
[HTC EVO 3D] churro7:
mine did that an hr ago when I bump charged it

pulled battery to get it on again
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
More info.... you rooted.... rom? Kernel? Stock? Software version?
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
It's probably a battery problem. Do you have a spare? Try putting in a different battery and boot it.
[HTC EVO 3D] vszulc:
Uh-oh... Bad news... I had something similar happen 2 weeks ago. What happens when you try to charge it? Nothing? Cause that's what I had. Took it in for a warranty repair, and they ended up replacing the mainboard (new CPU, new IMEI, new everything)

Thank god it was a warranty repair and therefore free. Otherwise you might as well buy a new phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] JohnM:
Here's a fix:

Connect the phone to the computer and download the adb files

Open a terminal in the adb directory

type 'adb reboot'

Your phone will now start up, regardless of battery level/conditions/etc.

You will probably need to reflash ROM to get the issues fixed.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucpro:
i wanna get s-off and root on my wife's phone using the revolutionary method so she doesn't lose any data, problem is that I can't get the HTCDriver3.0.0.007 on my windows 7 machine to open up, i get a windows popup that asks is it ok to run this file, i hit 'ok', then that's it, setup never starts. so when i try to run revolutionary, i get stuck at the 'zerging root' step. apparently it won't get past that step until after i get that htcdriver to install.

i've made sure the phone was in usb debugging, updated windows, tried to download that same exe from other sites, and still nothin.

anybody have an idea of what to do
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
There's no point bothering to run Revolutionary until you get the driver installed....

Are you logged in with admin privileges on Windows ? Is a User Access Control window popping up that you don't see and aren't responding to ?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevosFTS:
You could use HTC sync to get the drivers that's what u did...

My name is Revos I'm a recovering flashaholic running Liquid Gingerbread 3.0
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucpro:
the only window i get is the one asking if i'm sure i wanna run the file, i hit yes and nothin else happens. i'm the admin, i even ran hit 'run as admin' and it still nothing happened. i've tried other exe files that i have on my computer to see if they would run and they ran. it's just this one

i thought htc sync had to be disabled in order to use revo though
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stratejaket:
Sync does have to be disabled, but I think what Revos means is install the sync and connect your phone. It should at that point automatically install the htc driver for your specific device. Then remove the HTC Sync and leave the driver.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
Don't the instructions at revolutionary.io say exactly that ?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucpro:
how could i uninstall sync and not uninstall the driver with it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
The installer from HTC includes multiple pieces that show up individually in Add/Remove Programs. Easiest thing is to try it...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ucpro:
i FINALLY got it! i reinstalled htc sync, it was over 100 mb. then deleted it. after that, i plugged the phone in and mounted it as a disk drive, so it installed whatever drivers it needed. then mounted it as htc sync; windows installed more drivers. then i set it to charge only, enabled usb debugging and ran revolution again, and it finally worked. she's rooted!! thanks!!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsiemer:
Same thing was happening to me when I was tryin to root my mom's Thunderbolt. Couldn't get past the "Zerging Root..."

So contrary to what all the guides say, I installed HTC Sync, it installed all it's pre-requisites during the install, UPDATED HTC Sync to latest version, it updated all the pre-reqs again, mounted phone to computer as a disk drive, waited for drivers to install, mounted phone to HTC Sync, waited for all drivers to install, confirmed that HTC Sync was communicating the phone, set phone as Charge Only, waited for drivers to install, unistalled HTC Sync, ran Revolutionary, waited a minute, it FINALLY got past Zerging Root!

Hope this helps anyone else who has been tearing their hair out over this issue...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grapoidinc:
Alternate solution for rooting with latest ota...if you have locked bootloader

For those of you that have endured the frustration of updating to the latest software version (2.11.605.9) There is hope! Apparently with this software version, the bootloader is locked. And for some reason this version would not allow the "Revolutionary" rooting method to work. (I would imagine everyone with this problem had issues with not being able to get past Zerg Root. At least that was the problem I had)

Anyways, I got my phone rooted....heres how.

Per the instructions for using Revolutionary, install the driver as stated on their website. (Make sure HTC Sync is not installed on your computer)

Download Mecha_2.11.605.3.zip (I'm a newbie here so I cant post links, but I found it through Android Police but if u google it its easy to find, its hosted on multi upload) rename the zip file as PG05IMG and put on the root of your SD card (as you would in other rooting methods) and run the bootloader.

Once its booted and all that fun waiting is over and your TB powers back up, make sure to turn off all wireless connections to make sure OTA doesnt try to upgrade you. (I turned on airplane mode as soon as I could)

From there run Revolutionary as instructed from their website. Worked like a charm for me, and hope it does for all of you with this same problem.

I TAKE ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT FOR THIS SOLUTION. Thank you for all you developers out there that make our phones able to be so much cooler and more enjoyable. I'm just glad I could help in this marginal way, and hope that someone will find it usefull. SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM

[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
As an Android user, and all the world on apk's made for android, i'm just curious on a point.

Why is there too many applications that need a rooted android phone out there, considering that all firmware after 2.3.2 is non rootable with an apk like gingerbreak?. I know that gingerbrak just breaked an exploit in android to do that, but at thas time, it seems that they patched very well that exploit, so, gingerbreak doesn't work anymore.

Assuming that for the masses is not possible to root phones "on the fly", why are all those companies making a lot of applications just for rooted phones?.

On the other hand, all people knows that an integrated Service pack in a windows installation DVD is more powerful (clean), that one upgraded to SP(x). What about Android OS?. Does a latest IMG firmware pre rooted is more "clean" than a updated (OTA) firmware?...

Just my thinking....
[Xperia Arc General] crimilde:
You have to keep into account that :

1/ It's a question of choice. As long as you can get root access on a phone, it's only logical to have apps that benefit that, seeing as they give you control over the phone you wouldn't normally have...

Besides, apps that require root access are not developed for a specific phone, i.e. Arc. It's not the developer's problem if a phone can be easily rooted or not, they just want to give you apps that take advantage of this change. ;)

2/ Obtaining root access on the Arc is not impossible by any means. You can unlock your bootloader and easily root it no matter which 2.3.x you are using. Again, it's a question of choice.

FOTAs are more or less branded by your carrier with loads of bloatware, so yes, a generic global ftf or img is cleaner than those.

The cleanest though is CM7, as it's based on vanilla Android.

Hope this makes it clearer. :)

if you're not afraid of complex ui, go with MeGUI. Otherwise stick with Handbrake (broken aspect ratios can be fixed by tweaking decoding settings) but honestly, just download MX Video Player from market and enjoy perfect playback of ANY file without any conversions.

All I wanna ask (to the mods) at this point is whether we are allowed to discuss it?

I'm asking first, because I don't know which OT mod is on right now.

So, do I have permission to even discuss this thing, or not?

Probably not....

It's not really something that can be discussed without the political aspect coming into play and even if there were to be a thread about it that wasn't in any way political, you know what would end up happening :rolleyes:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Okay, I used to love this phone. I got it back in Feb when it was relatively new to where I live and the first thing I did was root and flash it with CM. This gave me a serious case of ORD and I couldn't stop trying out new ROMs on my phone. It was amazing! And fun! And everything was quick. Couple months down the line, I lost my phone and quickly replaced it with another Nexus S. More flashing ensued.

So, now 8 months down the line, I find myself getting a little bored with the constant flashing and I've been looking for something that will be stable. Now, here's the problem, after the first flash of a ROM everything seems super zippy! And it fills me with hope and brings a tear to my eye. But, then I start actually using my phone...load 25 apps...everything's fine...50 apps...going strong...75 apps, 4 days in...uh oh, OH HAI LAG!...*phone makes a trollface*...100 apps, a week in...the lag is so bad I can't do any gaming...my favourite game Muffin Knight makes me want to chuck my phone across the room; it lags so much that by the time I think I've got me a sweet muffin, I'm somehow teleported to a little rat's back. This is the case with any ROM - CM7, MIUI, several AOSP ROMs like Oxygen, CO2, SuperAOSP/OSR, NexusBread. All of them slow down after several days.

What causes this? Can it be a hardware issue? Do I have a faulty phone? Could it be I flashed too much? I never really was one for overclocking, my phone doesn't handle it well for the long haul. Is it Android's memory management that is poor? Oh, and while we're on the topic. What the heck is "True Multitasking"? Does it mean, when I'm playing a game, I get a call and when I hang up, the game has restarted? Or I load a page on my browser and when I go back it has to reload? Or pausing any game and pressing home to do something else, then coming back to it to see it has to restart? I don't think my phone can handle more than two tasks well.

Anyway, at this point, what do the XDAliens think I should do? A hard reset? Maybe format my SD card too? Or what else can I do? Any suggestions would help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
wipe your dalvik and try to reboot at least once a day,
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Oh, I do do that! As part of my troubleshooting. But, it doesn't help much. Maybe an hour or so of seemingly lag free use. But, once I've used a bunch of apps it's back to Lagville. So yeah, no go, at least not when it come to Muffin Knight (Lol, this has become my benchmark)

EDIT: I should also mention, I've tried moving a lot of my heavy apps to SD.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churro7:
technically since nexus has internal memory shouldnt be as fast as "normal" internal memory? ie internal memory and SD space? But 100 apps that is quite a bit. Shouldnt be aproblem
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
So, no one else experiences lags after a few days of running all their apps? Maybe once they cross the 70 apps mark. No stutters in scrolling or gaming? No one else notices Android's poor multi-tasking? Poor app load times, poor widget response times?

I'm trying to figure out if it's just my phone or whether this happens to everyone.

EDIT: Maybe I should revert back to stock and if the lags continue, I could take it in to the shop under warranty?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
No, No and No - > 100 apps - stock rom. Everything remains smooth and has for a long time. I reboot the phone maybe twice a month and never force clear the dalvik cache.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Thanks for the reply. I clear the dalvik ALL the time for flashing a new ROM or when my current one is feeling laggy. Maybe I shouldn't have. EDIT: I'm curious...Why do you not clear the Dalvik? Just because you've never had to?

Have you ever flashed other ROMs? Maybe bare AOSP ROMs like DevNull? Any issues there?

I'm thinking I should reset, reformat and return to stock...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
I don't see a reason to clear the Dalvik cache on a regular basis - that advice just doesn't make any sense. After you clear it, it just gets rebuilt when you reboot anyway, and just leads to a really long start up time. Unless you are installing / uninstalling a massive amount of apps and you feel the cache is far too large it just doesn't make sense. Between rom flashes, sure. But as a regular thing to help performance? That just doesn't hold water for me.

I flashed CM7 back around Feb / March but stability was an issue at that point still so I went back to stock. Since then I've never had any issues with running a rooted stock rom on the Nexus S so I never had any interest in most of the custom roms (outside of a few AOSP roms I built myself) as they all seem to introduce little bugs for the most part and I have little use for the "tweaks" and customizations included in most.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igotsanevo4g:
Ok, ill say it...Why the hell do you need that many apps. You can't possibly use them all. Delete the ones you don't need....

Anyways, wipe everything when you flash the rom, and don't wipe anything after that. Reboot every other day or so. That's what works for me but I have like 20 apps ..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
he never said he had 100 separate apps...he just said after the 100th time running an app ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
That's not very helpful. I should be able to have as many apps as I need. A certain competing platform allows this. Anyway, I do use most of my apps. Maybe not on a daily basis, but I want them around for when I need them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
No, I meant 100 apps. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Okay, I've already started afresh with CO2. Going to see how it goes. Kind of going slow on reloading my apps. Maybe I can figure out better at what point performance starts to suffer.

If things don't work out, I will follow your lead. Thanks again!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ka24e:
Sounds like your memory is simply being used up by open/running apps. I would suggest going into settings -> applications -> development ->checkmark "stop app via long press".

When you are done using an app, hold the back button down. This will close the application and free up memory.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
that's the sole reason I've always steered clear of stock roms. That is my absolute favorite feature of CM & variants. I always long press every time I'm done with any app to close it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
But, there's a general consensus lately that task killers aren't good for Android. I'm thinking force killing apps would have the same effect. Also, if I have to do that just to get a reasonable experience, where does it leave Android's claim of "True Multitasking"?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lshking:
Android is a "True Multitasking" system, but also has limitation as others PC or Server.

So if you want good speed, keep your background app clearly is a easy way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contradude:
try running v6 supercharger. it should help your device cope a lot better with so many apps on your device. link here. run beta 6.3 with a balanced setting and if you want more performance at the cost of it aggressively closing superfluous apps, go aggressive. also try nitro lag nullifier and don't forget to remove the extra .pdf extension off of the end because it's a shell script (.sh)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frutelaken:
Cache has been invented for the sole purpose of speeding up a system or service. Forget about wiping your Dalvik cache and even the regular cache has its purpose on the phone. But that point has been cleared already.

The Nexus has its limitations just like any other device. The RAM can only cope with so much apps, if you fill up your RAM, you'll get lag. It's just a point of being a little bit intelligent with your phone. Unless QC failed at Samsung and you have a faulty device, the Nexus should run really smoothly, regardless of how many apps you have installed (again, within the limitations of the internal memory). But having 50 apps open (just a plain example) will of course have its impact on the device, the same as it would on 'that competing platform'.

Reopening apps is superfast anyway so there really isn't a reason to keep too many of them open. I force close my apps all the time as well and never had it backfire on me, so I don't see how it would have a bad effect.

Of course you can always start playing around with another ROM or overclocking the phone just to get a little bit more juice from it. I'm running on 1.3Ghz at the moment and must say that it improves the general experiences and reduces lag somewhat as well.

Good luck,

Greetz

If it had 1gb ram you would be fine..m.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejaylobo:
Thanks for all your replies.

Sorry to bump up this thread but, I just wanted to report back. Flashing CO2 didn't go so well for me, and the lag came back. So then a few days ago, I decided to start fresh. I wiped my device and USB storage and flashed stock Android 2.3.4, I installed all my apps through the market. I'm at around 85 now.

So far, everything is running really smooth! I'm really surprised! Muffin Knight too! And some syncing apps that had stopped working due to my serial flashing, work fine again - Chrome to Phone is one of them. There was a cool video making app called Autodancer that would not work at all on the AOSP CO2 ROM, but it works great on stock. Actually, it does not seem to work well for most users and it's got a really bad rating because of that. Works well for me on stock.

I never really gave stock much of chance; rooted and flashed a different ROM as soon as I got my phone but, now I don't think I'll be flashing new ROMs anytime soon. Something is off about them(for me at least), and none of them have been able to provide as good an experience(EDIT: in the long run) as stock the way Google intended.
