So in theory I should be able to substitute any font I want? Just rename it to DroidSansArabic.ttf and tick the correct permissions? You rock by the way. Just one more Q. How do you have that split screen keyboard? Which KB is it? I have the thunm keyboard but it does not support Arabic input.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] m2b999:
Actually, your theory turned out to be a fact! Yes, you can substitute any font with DroidSansArabic.ttf, but it has to be in .tff format.

Thanks :-)

The keyboards are:

- Go Keyboard > grey/black color > free

- SwiftKey X Tablet Keybooard > blue neon color > paid around $5

Good luck...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] gamefreakgcb:
I have the swiftkey X keyboard that I got from Amazon's free app a day. Will see if that one can work.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] m2b999:
Cool! Yah give it a try...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] gamefreakgcb:
Nope. Didn't work, it told me I should by the Tablet version. The normal version looks like crap.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] m2b999:
Then you ought to get the tablet version, it's really worth it!!!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] gamefreakgcb:
I most likely will, thanks. Now I'm going to try this out on my HTC Flyer and see if it works. Just upgraded it to HC.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] omario31:
Salam,

Tested on rooted Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it works.

NB : I had to set up permission after copying the file using ES File explorer (Enable root mode and mount /system)

Thank you very much Bro !
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] toyface:
Have any of you tried Font Changer on the market? It's a nice and easy solution to changing fonts across the systrem, it also lets you change specific fonts, such as the Arabic font. It might be easier if you want to change and try out different fonts quickly and easily, as long as you're rooted of course, works well on our tabs, use it myself.

I read keyboard being mentioned, don't know if any of you have tried this but, Thumb Keyboard is an excellent keyboard and highly configurable too.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] app_addict:
i just want to as if Samsung Galaxy Fit is capable of Ice Cream Sandwich operating system?
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] D@rekills4:
Yes its capable.....

But I wonder if anyone would be ready to port it.....
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] shuvita42n:
maybe port of cyanogenmod 9 ... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] D@rekills4:
I was thinking about the same but is there any developer out there who might wanna use up sooooooo much of his time to port CM 9 to this device?

I doubt that....
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Jhayzt:
I bet someone in the mini/ace/(insert phone here) department is already working on ICS for their device..ohhh the agony..someone call 'em devs..we're not making any progress here..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] app_addict:
so which is better? Gingerbread or Ice Cream Sandwich?

what are the new changers for Ice Cream Sandwich?

please help me decide.. thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Mello^:
Decide for what? Ice Cream Sandwich is still not available for our device yet you're deciding to choose and what to use? lol. ICS far much better than Gingerbread as it's a combination of Honey Comb and Gingerbread in terms of performance and UI.

if you meant changes, mainly the UI which is kind of similar to Honey Comb but slightly different and ICS works in any devices that can run Gingerbread even on such a small screens smartphones. the ability to use front-facing camera as a lock screen and other stuffs like that. just google it if you are that interested about what's new on ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] D@rekills4:
GingerBread is 2.3 and IceCream Sandwich is 4.0 so it's obvious that IceCream Sandwich is better.....

For the changelog, go to the link below.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] app_addict:
alright. just inform me if ICS is already available to our hand set. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deshabilitado:
I don't think anyone is going to do the port for our phone, FIT looks like its the ugly one on galaxy line lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Neon717:
in 4 years maybe :p
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Mello^:
It may be still possible, look at the X8 and X10 Mini sub forums here on XDA, they are already having an ICS port. as well as the LG Optimus One, it's almost like the Galaxy Fit. We just don't have any devs available and one that would volunteer to work on a port for our device.

It's just really sad we only have a few developers working for our device, it's also sad some like Praytush have move to a new device as well so he won't be able to make ports and stuffs for us anymore (maybe ?)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirin:
After upgrading to gingerbread, EI22, I noticed that my hardware buttons don't dim any more. Under display settings, I do have keyboard dimming set, but it doesn't seem to help. Normally it shouldn't be a big deal, but I use my phone for a bedside clock, and they are kinda bright :)

So far tried with both Legenday and ICS ROMs, with 3-4 different themes, they all seem to do that :(

Any ideas?

Thank you!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AproSamurai:
Auto Brightness perhaps? Keep it on and I've heard it may dim the capacitive buttons.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopher.hunter:
i wish we could disable those buttons at will but afaik it would require a kernel to completely disable them. or at least thats how kernels on the moment worked, they came with LEDon or noLED versions
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirin:
So that's a new feature of 2.3 kernels?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneezy316:
It was fine for me on stock rooted EI22. If I flash any other ROM or kernel, they stay on in night clocks. It was like this for CM7 1024 build as well. I thought I read in the CM7 thread that it will be fixed in a new build, but don't quote me on that. ;P
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirin:

I have a similar problem with ACS ICS ei22. The lights simply never turn off when the screen is on even though I have the screen set for 30 seconds and the light set to 6 seconds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CBowley:
So I rooted using the one-touch script using Ubuntu. Stock rom. Never booted into recovery, just went to the market and installed Rom Manager and installed CWM recovery from there. Now when I boot into recovery, I get 3 options. flash zip, wipe dalvic, and wipe. If I try to flash anything, it returns "signature verification failed" error. Is the anyone that can help me?

-I use Ubuntu, so no ODIN

-epic 4g touch

-rooted, stock rom

if someone could tell me where the recovery is stored, I should be able to "flash_image" a new recovery and hope that works. any ideas would be helpful though. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Your boot image (kernel+initramfs) is also your recovery.

It is stored in

/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

IMO you are better off just using the automated root in the sticky to install a stock kernel with CWM repacked in.

There are instructions to do a manual install in the reference section (manual in the sense that you run some automated scripts by hand, not completely manual)

Hello, I am currently using MIUI but it sucks for battery life. I want to flash a stable rom with long battery life, and nevr to forget about flashing (because I will sell my phone to a friend of mine very soon and he is noob in all of this things like roms). What would you recommend?

Generally speaking native roms offer the best battery life over all (KH3, KI#, KJ#,KK#, etc). But like mentioned before very subjective. This thread will probably be closed due to the nature of it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If you are giving it to a friend that is not into roms. Stock is your best bet. Don't want them to have to deal with the issues of a custom rom. Like drivers and app compatibility issues in AOSP roms like CM and roms like MIUI.

[Android Themes] B-boy™:
This is not a download thread since Tap a Talk is a paid app but since Droid DOES and I were the ones that themed the hell out of it, we decided to start a thread to market it...

TapaTalk is a Quoord Systems Limited CO. and is responsible for creating the Tap a Talk app. We approached them about offering a themed version of the app and while waiting to hear back from them we themed Droidforums, DroidXforums and XDA.. which are all TapaTalk based apps.. Winter Wong of Quoord is the founder and has had constant contact with us and with their latest update, we popped out 6 color variations for users to enjoy for now.. more will be offered at a later date.. These apps are standalone apps so you can have all 6 colors and the stock version on at once if ya want.

What's different about this themed version??

Well, just about everything!!.. Not only did I rewrite some code and edit 20+ smali files but Droid DOES made 100's of new images!!.. Plus we now have custom tabs instead of those bland gray and black ones and now instead of having that drab white background within the "light" display style, you get to choose between Transparent or Inverted from within the apps settings.. Pretty confident that this has never been pulled off with 100% success.. (I did the free version of Rootzwiki where you can choose the same theme styles but there are a few issues still)..

Go support your local Android Themers and buy a couple colors.. If you already have Tap installed, in the future we'll have an "In-app" purchase option for a lower price but that's not implemented yet.. a few bucks is an easy way of saying thanks to both of the teams involved in this... I'll link the market page(s).. Or, you can search Tapatalk in the Android Market and you'll see it.. Rate it and comment about how cool it is.. .. Blue is uploaded right now and Winter said the other 5 will be in the next day or two... Enjoy!

I am not Responsible for any kind of damage..This post is for educational purpose only...

This forum contains Farhan's method of rooting..I have not personally achieved root access employing that..So I am writing down an easy method which grants root permission to your Iball tablet..

Download(See the attachments..)

1. Root explorer(preferably v2.17.1)

2. Gingerbreak v1.20

3. Root Check.

See the attachments..

These are enough for rooting.. Install RootExplorer and open it. Navigate via RootExplorer to /default.prop..

1. Press it for 2 seconds, then "open it" via text editor.

2. Edit the file default.prop to change the value ro.secure=0 (instead of the given value stock ro.secure=1)

3. Now press the back button, which gives a 'save" dialogue..Save it, and you see the original file is saved with the name "default.prop.bak".

4. Open your cmd.exe in windows and type adb shell..You should see a # instead of $..Now install and open the Root Checker, click "Verify Root Access", and then with a lot of frustration you will see "Sorry, you don't have root access".. :(

Don't be frustrated, I am here to help you out!!:)

5. Now install Gingerbreak, and open it, click "Root device"..It will take some time to run the exploit..then the device will automatically shut down..

6. Power on your device manually, it will take a little bit time more than usual. leave it for 1 minute after you see your unlock screen, then unlock it.

7.Go straight to menu>root Check..It will ask for SuperUser permission, Click ok>Veryfify Root Access..And then you will obviously see "Congratulations! You have root access!";)

If you own success, please thank me, I have not copied someone's procedure, this procedure is completely discovered by me after going through lots of tutorials regarding android development, and now I am also capable of building some basic apps for android..:cool:

Hello everyone,

Some of you might have seen my previous post about jumping into flashing ROMs. Well, I started off with a rooted phone using odin. It had superuser and everything, then I flashed it with Litening ROM, which was draining the battery horribly. I then used CWM to install VillainROM. Everything went smoothly, however, I now do not have SuperUser. The device doesn't seem to be rooted any longer.

Is this normal? And what is a workaround for this to get SuperUser back on and get this thing Rooted?

Thanks in advance.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smr00:
Excuse my noobness because this is my first ever tablet and i don't know that much about rooting or any of that but i have a few questions

1. Does it support CBR/CBZ/PDF? one of the main reasons i want a tablet is for comics/books, do i have to "root" it?

2. What video formats does it support? not a huge issue because i will mostly be using netflix for video

3. When "rooting" or any of that stuff does it disable netflix? i hear it disables the amazon prime stuff on fire.

Basically i am getting it for casual video watching and comic/book reading with web surfing, is the nook for me? kindle fire? i don't know anything about tablets but have dabbled in homebrew/jailbreaking for other devices.

If this has been posted im sorry i just want to make sure i am picking the right tablet for me before i drop the $ tomorrow.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Here are some answers to your questions (and people reading can feel free to correct me if I'm incorrect about any of this stuff).

1. The NT will read PDFs and CBZ natively, no root required. It handles both pretty well. To read CBR, you'll need to sideload a comic reader app (which is relatively easy). There are some great ones out there. You don't need to root to sideload apps, you can download them via the browser, or put them on on an SD card. Or you can get some in the Amazon app store. And if you do root, you can find them in the Google App store. But again, you do not need to root to read CBRs. And you don't need to do anything to read CBZs and PDFs. The NT's reader app can handle both.

2. Video format is limited to 3GP, MP4, 3G2 and FLV. But you can sideload video players (again, this doesn't require a root) that will allow you play avi, mkv and a few other formats.

3. I have heard nothing about rooting disabling netflix. It's possible some people are having issues, but those are likely isolated incidents. Mine works just fine anyhow.

For casual video watching, comic reading and ebooks, the nook tablet is fantastic. I highly recommend.

Hope this helps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
>Does it support CBR/CBZ/PDF?

>What video formats does it support?

https://nookdeveloper.barnesandnoble.com/product/nook-tablet-specs.html

Built-in capability has PDF and MP4 (video). You'd want to sideload dedicated readers/players, not just for unsupported formats, but also for their better capability.

If you have Netflix, then Netflix HD sounds like a win. For movies in general, I use Moboviewer along with CIFSManager to view them over wifi. Comic reader: I use Perfect Reader (free). PDF = ezPDF (not free). Rule-of-thumb: For anything needed, Google "best [xyz app] for android".

Web surfing on a 7" is cramped and awkward, although it's fine for quickie sessions. The small screen (and narrow aspect) is one problem. The larger problem is simply that mobile browsers aren't as good as desktop ones, and your finger isn't as good a pointing device as a mouse. I'm hopeful for improvements on the software side and am looking forward to the new Firefox for Android.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smr00:
Awesome! so it pretty much will do everything i want it to do without having to do all the rooting (which i eventually want to learn how to do) and you say it supports PDF/CBZ etc. and i don't know if me asking what i am about to breaks a TOS so i will word it differently, can i import my legally obtained ;) books (and speaking of books what format do you think will be the best for the nook?) from my pc to it?

Also what is Netflix HD? glad it supports AVI and stuff that's awesome but that brings me to a question i totally forgot to ask i hear it has 16gb but only 1gb can be used for loading your own stuff? what about the micro SD? i can load whatever i want on a microSD right? if so can i load my pdfs etc. and will it accept any brand microSD? sorry if these questions sound stupid i just have 0 knowledge when it comes to tablets i played with my aunts ipad2 over thanksgiving and thought to myself how did i live this long without a tablet? and i ain't paying $600 for one :)
