Another vote for Font Installer. I use it all the time. There are other ways to do it, but this is simplest (and safest, I'd say). It comes with a bunch of fonts available, but you can add others. Great app!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Zwulf:
It does not work with core Gapps (AOSP launcher "Launcher3"). You have to use Google (apps) launcher for custom font. There is no font app (I know; FontInstaller, MyFont, iFont, Type Fresh,...) atm that's working with AOSP launcher. On my daily build of AOKP for flo (KitKat) it does not work at all.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NocNoc9595:
I'm gonna flash with this ROM soon but just wanna ask some questions.

If I choose the "remove bloatware" version, will it make my phone more smoother without all the junk stuff that I don't use? Also, will my computer be able to sync up with the computer through Samsung Kies ok?

Which version of install did you choose and why?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
YES very slightly and Yes Kies and latest and because its newer rather than older .

ok so bout few months ago i gave my son an epic to play games on......he keeps opening it and tryin to break keyboard so i glued it shut.....we go on vacation i though he lost it that was a month ago well i just found it in a travel bag. now the phone dosent go past the samsung screen when you turn it on. would any dev or general user want this for $4 shipping to see if they can fix it and use it to test on. if not im keepin battery and recycling it at bestbuy 2morrow
[Epic 4G General] gtuansdiamm:
You can probably fix it if you

Unglue it and odin
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I will take it if no one else wants it. PM me with the paypal info to send you the money.
[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
it worked fine the whole time it was glued shut. he used it to watch movies on wifi. oh and the esn IS NOT CLEAN. forgot to mention that. we used it on wifi. we went to VA beach and we thought he lost it
[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
kennyglass i just got the payment i will have a trackin number for you around 4pm tomorrow

I could "seriously" use this for my girlfriend to replace her water damaged Prevail if I can get it working.

Is the ESN good?

sorry man kenny glass beat ya to it lol
[Epic 4G General] AOD_Corwin:
Your the original owner you can call sprint and clear the esn
[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
im not original owner...i bought it off craigslist from a guy who left sprint and didnt pay his bill but said he was gona pay it eventually bc he didnt wana ruin his credit. i never checked it bc my son used it on wifi everywhere we went
[Epic 4G General] dr.chucky:
If he did pay the esn is cleared. I got an evo 4g that way. I bought with a bad esn more than a year ago when they were going for 300. I paid 200 just cause of the bad esn. A few months later I went to a friend at sprint and she checked it for me and it was cleared. Only way to get a bad esn is to report it stolen or not pay the bill. I'm sure the guy eventually paid the bill
[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:
Nvm
[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
im shippin it to kennyglass today....he told me what has planned for it. if the esn is bad i dont think it will effect what he has planned
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Thank you. Looks like I will see you in the S3 forum by your sig.

Hey Kenny I'll trade you a cracked screen for that non cracked one you got there...

[Epic 4G General] austin420:
hellototem.com just offered me 30 bucks for my cracked screen epic. they dont even sell on ebay. i listed it at 5 dollars on a 3 day auction, and it didnt sell. gazzelle.com offered .85 cents.

needless to say i think ill take the 30 dollars offered by hellototem seeing as how i almost cant give this phone away.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Thanks Bmoreboy! It arrived today...nice glue job! I tried everything to get it into download mode but no dice. I got a little knife and sliced away at the glue. It ripped off part of the keyboard including the 1 key.....but miracle it still pressed in. Got it in download mode and odin'd FC09....passed but still stuck on Samsung. Repartitioned, EFS clear and it almost booted once except really really slow. After 20 minutes of the Galaxy S screen I figured I would try Odin again. Still stuck on Samsung. Tried everything from DI18 to EH17 to FC09. I guess it is the wierdest Brick I ever seen. Tried Heimdall too. They all pass and reboot.

If you need the screen Nube, it's yours. But the protective case is glued to it too.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Wow that a odd. Hope mine never does that. Getting pretty old. That's the second weird brick.

Sorry you couldnt get it to work man...it was workin before i lost it i wonder whst happened....sorry again bro
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Maybe it is the battery... try another
[Epic 4G General] nubecoder:
Too bad you couldn't get it going..

If it's usable and not cracked, it's probably an improvement over the cracked one I have.

FYI my cracked screen is on my dev phone, so it's not a big deal really, but if you're done with it and ya wanna send it over, PM me (I'll pay for shipping of course).

[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
My poor phones gettin passed around like a cheap woman lol
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It's all good bmore! I got it almost going again with the FC19 tar. It seems like either the memory or cpu has passed on. No big deal. The parts will go to good use providing Nube can get the glued part of the case off of the screen. The back was in mint condition so swapped that with my phone. Thank you. It was fun trying to get it going. And the parts will go to good use. If Nube didn't need the screen I would have saved it just in case.

Marcus, I tried 3 batteries so not that. Also will not go into download mode without the battery and 3 different cables so something is fried.
[Epic 4G General] rulyskull:
Did you try taking out the SD card? It helped me once. Also if noob doesn't want it I have the same cracked issue and its my personal phone, I'll take it :p
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
There is no sd card. Odin completes and passes with no problem but just won't boot. It is possible the glue on the motherboard contracted and broke something.

Nube beat you to it.
[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
Hopefully the screen will help.id hate to see people keep payin to have it shipped and not get any use out of it
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Oh the parts will get plenty of use and I am sure Nube will get the screen apart. Thank you again. Like an organ donor, it will live on in others...lol.
[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
Nube just sent me photos looks like the phine was put to good use. I cant believe you guys got the glue off so clean. Im kinda mad i paid as much as i did for it lol
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yeah. Lol. But that glue ripped the skin right off the keyboard. And the back is like brand new on my phone. So thanks again. I saw someone trying to get your GS3 for $800. I would have sold and went back to my Epic...lol.
[Epic 4G General] bmoreboy02:
Yea it was just one guy that offered it to me in the sprint store.....i think people assume i got th phone through upgrade price lol. After activation casmate taxes and screen protector i was in $700 so i would of only made $100. Thats not enough....now if i had paid $199 hed a had himself a new galaxy lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squashbuff:
Hi All,

I have tried to find an answer to this question on XDA forum and tried to google it as well, but came up with nothing. So if it has been answered before, I apologize in advance.

I have rooted my i9100 using CF-ROOT. I was running XWLP8 so I used the corresponding rooted kernel and all is well. Currently I am using Resurrection Remix latest version.

No I want to have official clockworkmod touch recovery on my phone. I have installed ROM Manager and downloaded recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip from clockworkmod website. I flashed it using CWM that came with CF-ROOT.

This is where things go wrong. After I flashed the new recovery and tried to reboot into recovery from ROM Manager, I got a blank screen. Tried to press some buttons but it gave me an intermittently flashing white screen, nothing else.

I tried to reboot normally again but it wouldn't do that either. I guess it was a soft brick.

So I had to flash CF-ROOT kernel using Odin, and then flash Resurrection Remix again. After that, things are ok. But now I am reluctant to try the new touch recovery.

So my question is, has anyone encountered this before? If so, is there a proven way to this?

Thanks for your help. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Rom manager doesn't work on S2.

Get the zip file and flash using cwm as normal and it will be updated to touch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graemeg:
NOOOOOOOO DO NOTTTTTT use rom manager.

That thing is responsible for so much damage over the last 12 month, it sucks big time.

Look whats the issue here, if you have flashed cfroot kernel then you alread have a version of recovery on your phone which is no different to the official cwm recovery, get the same things, and you get the cwm app in ya app drawer, very very powerful little rom and kernel flashing tool indeed.

SO, what is it you really want, at a guess id say, you really want to the touch recovery, because the normal one isnt going to give you anything different to what you already have.

Goto the recovery site or use google to find it, download the latest version for your phone, stick it on the root of your sd card, reboot to cwm recovery that you already have, and choose to flash zip.

Done.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] neworleans-7:
I removed mine. Already had a Zagg HD on my phone before I bought the case and I like that shield much better than the built in protector on the Otterbox.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MedicStuder:
Still have mine
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Berserk87:
The protectors make the screen look worse, and the screen is already very damage resistant.

I don't see a point.

Mine is sitting in the box. I hate it haha. I have a Zagg on mine now with the Commuter Otterbox
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I hate mine too, that's why I'm giving it away lol. It was on my phone for literally under 2 minutes. I can't wait for my Incipio Silicrylic to come, I had one for my GNex and loved it.

Debated for a week but took mine out and dont regreat it :victory:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Man.Droid:
I do the same thing to the iPhone defenders. The plastic membrane makes a sticking sound when you hit the screen. Its a good idea but overall its kinda sloppy. A lot of my customers take the membrane out as well. Pay attention otterbox....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
I recently got an SGP Ultra Hybrid in Purple/Yellow and I'd like to share my review of it with the XDA community. Overall, I can easily say this is one of the best cases available in the market for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. The quality, fit, and finish is just absolutely stellar. You can find my full video review below along with some pictures of the case.

[YOUTUBE]ucFK-37m0EU[/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dbutters:
Checked out their website, only available for the GSM int'l version... sad panda.

Any thoughts on whether I could cram my VZW with extended battery in there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
Yea, unfortunately SGP's Gnex cases are only designed for the GSM Nexus. The fit on my GSM nexus is barely tight so I would imagine putting a Verizon version in there would not fit too well. More so with an extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] handfish:
I have the black one. Everything is OK except that the case makes the buttons very very very sensitive. This is a very annoying "feature" to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredfox_uk:
I have the black one as well and I too find the buttons was to sensitive, so I used a very sharp knife and trimmed off the tabs that are on the inside of the buttons on the case. This makes it a lot better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
Yea, that's true, but for me it doesn't really get in the way for my usage. I guess it just really depends on the type of user. I also prefer having my buttons protected and covered.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
I really wish they would have put a different color other than yellow. Actually like the purple but the yellow ruins the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
Yea, I understand it may not be everyone's favorite color combo, but what can you do I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Thats the same case i've been using in the same colors and i like it!!!

Sure yellow and purple is lakers., and yellow does get dirty but i just use an eraser and erase the yellow back and like new!!!!

;)

I have it with the extended, dropped my phone.. and the case saved it. Not pretty fond of the combo, but it is nice to see someone with exactly the same case as i.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IanCoves:
I have the black one too. Its survived many drops and is a still slim fit so its not bulky. I don't mind the extra sensitive buttons, I find the power button too hard to press anyway.

->Really good case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I have the blue one. I actually love how easy and responsive the buttons are.

It's definitely the best case that I've ever bought in terms of striking a balance between aesthetics and protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Can you take pictures of your blue one? I've always felt curious how the blue one in real life looks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
It's sky blue. The official photos have captured its color pretty accurately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
Blue looks pretty sweet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herzzreh:
Any ideas if this will fit the the OEM 2000mah extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
It does work, but the fit is not as perfect. It's still usable though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnr21:
Is there other colors available? I don't like that swedish theme :D

Do you have some picture when it's on gnex with external batt?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
There's 4 colors I believe. You can find all of them here.

And unfortunately, I don't have pictures with the external battery because I don't have one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
Does anyone have the all black one? I'd love to see a few HQ pics. I hate shiny black but this does look cool. Any scratching from the hard plastic?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Has anyone tried using a fine razor blade to cut out the buttons on the case? My only gripe with the case is that the covers over the buttons force the case to bow out very slightly around the edge of the phone just above where the buttons are. Aside from that the case is perfect.

I have the full black one and I love it. It fits like the Rearth Ringke Slim case but also protects the sides better, which I like. The overall finish is flat but not rubbery so i have no issues sliding it in and out of my pocket. I'll try to get some pics up tonight when I get my GF's camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Thanks! I wanted to see the real deal. Well at first i didn't like it but the gray used on this looks great!, i would go for the garyish/white one instead but i really dunno. They all seem good. Not great (color wise), but nice enough.

you mean extended right....

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26895098&postcount=45

I really DIG the high sensivity on the buttons. I enjoy more clicking through the case than Gnex actual buttons. Anyone as me??

Sure. let's see the pics!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Yeah, I don't mind the increased sensitivity at all. It just slightly bothers me that the case is not 100% flush against the edge of the phone just above where the power button and volume rocker buttons are because the button cover pulls the case out a tad. I'm thinking if you could cleanly cut the button covers off it would allow the case to sit 100% flush all the way along the side edges of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The packaging this comes in is incredible. The black case is matte and a fantastic color. Nothing shiny at all. As the other posters above have noted the attention to detail on the case is incredible. Almost OEM.

Unfortunately, it's almost completely unusable due to the increased sensitivity on the volume and power buttons. How a company can produce something so high quality but fail so miserably at keeping the basic functionality of the phone is beyond disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
Has anyone tried filing the inside of the button covers on this case so that it's not super responsive?

I've also noticed that there seems to be a bulge on the bezel by the volume rockers. I think filing the insides of the covers can resolve this issue.

Or better yet, cut them out completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
At $20 a case? I'll pass, too rich for my blood. That's a steep price for failure if it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vshun:
Is this correct assumption that the case does not allow for pogo pins based on video and photos posted? I assume 3-pogo pins are needed for car dock that I am waiting to buy (and which mysteriously disappeared from Google Play last week).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aturyan:
Yes, this case blocks access to the pogo pins. If you have an accessory that makes use of them, I would not get this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
You get used to it.

I've noticed I have to press a bit more now to turn on the phone, as opposed to when I first got it. I'm sure if I hit the volume buttons as much, they'd wear a bit to that point as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
I used a fruit knife and shaved off some of the rubber pads for the buttons. Now the power button is no longer sensitive. In fact, it's almost not sensitive enough. I sometimes have to use my nail to press it for it to work. Volume buttons are still a bit too sensitive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
Yes they are blocked, but it doesn't matter. The pogo pin docks do not work with a case anyway. In fact I'm still aware of any charging dock that will work with a case besides some really universal ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntdb:
As has been mentioned, there aren't (m)any Galaxy Nexus specific accessories that work with cases. One advantage of the Ultra Hybrid is that it's easy enough to put on and take off. I have this case and will be getting a pogo pin dock, I'll just pull the phone out when appropriate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 8mileroad:
What's the difference between SGP Ultra Hybrid and SGP Neo Hybrid?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kohawk09:
ultra hybrid is a once piece rubber case. Neo Hybrid reminds me of the ottorbox commuter, a rubber case with a hard shell over top of it. I have the neo hybrid - best case I've owned hands down. Just note that most of the reviews say the Verizon version doesn't fit well/ is super tight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jay661972:
I just got the soul black today and man this case is excellent
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakis39:
Are there ever coupons/discounts for SGP or this case in particular?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntdb:
I haven't been able to find any. The best deal seems to be free shipping through SGP's eBay store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakis39:
Free shipping to the US maybe... :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roshga:
is anyone using this with GSM extended battery? I'd really like to see some picture of how it behaves with the little extra bulk.

and yeah, I've seen the pictures on the other thread but those are with the Verizon GN with extended batt, which is thicker then the gsm one.

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26895098&postcount=45 This is actually the GSM one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roshga:
oh right, he wrote 2100mah so i thought its verizon, didn't see the next reply by him.. thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
Have you had any problem with the stretching at the camera lens cutout? I don't remove my cases very often, so I'm hoping this case won't get screwed up. I just ordered the silver one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kohawk09:
Nope, still in the same shape that it was when I got it a couple weeks ago... My experience with these types of cases in the past is that the rubber starts to get worn down after a short time. So far the quality seems great and its holding up great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
Got my battery today and...

The case looks just like the pictures in terms of fitting, haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roshga:
what about putting it on the table upside down?

is the screen touching the surface or is it still protected by the case's edges?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 8mileroad:
Thanks for the reply. I have the GSM edition so that shouldn't be a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
The top and bottom still have a little lip so it is raised up still. I personally will get another case, I think. But its definitely doable. I just want more lip, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheRC51:
I own this case as well, and it is very nice. It just doesn't have that slim feel. I take the case off my Nexus as soon as I get home from work because the naked feeling has a more noticeable curve.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hayness:
Excuse the thread bump. I just bought one of these in soul black, I think it is a great case overall with one flaw. The materials and slim form fitting style are excellent. The extra sensitive buttons are disappointing, they are not just sensitive they just plain old trigger even when you are not directly pressing the button, the fit is also affected where the buttons are.

I am getting used to the feel of the sensitive buttons but might try and modify the inside of the case to reduce how sensitive it is. At least my huge headphone jack fits in fine!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
Mine was pretty sensitive at first as well. I either got used to it, or it dulled down on its own.

I think you just kind of have to wear it down naturally by pressing a lot, OR take it into your own hands with some manual wearing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skinniezinho:
Just got a white one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1722840&page=2

I cut the "pins" on the buttons, now they aren't sensitive as they were, but they are somehow hard to press (not very hard,just almost no feedback).

This is because I cut too much.

For example my volume up is nice, but volume down almost has no feedback,as the power button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yas87:
i can't find the white model everywhere near me (italy).

do you know a similar alternative?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tri0xinn:
You know how some electronics have a physical lock switch to turn off all buttons and screen input. Is there such an Android app that would give me the option of assigning a button.. maybe a long hold on volume down or up that would lock all input out? Just would be nice when I'm jogging with music or watching a video . there's gotta be something but I'm not finding anything...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Indigo:
Ok. So you want an app who locks the screen while you watch a video, for example. There's no app for this function. But, if u want to lock the screen while you watch a video, try MX Player. The app Blocks the screen while u watching!
