I was trying to change the fonts on my phone. The SETTINGS>DISPLAY>CHANGE FONTS method only gives me four or five options. Someone recommended the apps ROM Toolbox and Font Changer (haven't tried). With Toolbox though, when I changed fonts, it wasnt universal. Arbitrary things would change like browser text.

Well with Sprint and its excellent Google Voice integration you can use that to send and receive texts with the the Voice app or even a web browser. Unlike other carriers you can use your Sprint cell number for everything instead of having to make another Google Voice number.

So I've been reading about odex vs deodex and wanted on this thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363749

Now i know there's no easy answer explaining the differences but do i have to be careful about installing certain things because this ROM is odexed? I know it's been done before but Steve if you can chime in about odex deodex if appreciate it. I wanna be able to explain to my friends why my phone is so much better than theirs :)

Great ROM for the tenth time already. Lol

As far as deodexed vs odexed...

I would probably start a flame war if I gave my honest opinion..

I will just say this.. I will never run a deodexed rom as a daily driver. There is no reason to. These roms are designed to run an odexed system.

Thats it..

Or is this not something i should be concerned with?

Sorry to keep posting, but have another question... i use apex launcher and was just fiddling around with nova. I tried to import from apex, but decided to switch back to apex and now i have these extra toggles in my drop down menu:

Does anyone know where these came from? And now there's a gsam icon in the top ledt but all notificatons are turned off in the app. Not sure what i did.

Edit 2: i guess that isn't a gsam icon the corner cause i just turned it on and it gave me a different icon...i have no clue what that is on the left of the top bar...

2nd post.....if you tried to mod one with other or didnt switch properly then you didnt listen to a couple posts ago....do not tinker without knowing what you are doing. Hopefully if you have been around long enough, always make a nandroid before tinkering....just in case something goes wrong!

I didn't realize experimenting with another launcher was tinkering. I thought that meant like messing with system files. I really may have to nandroid restore just because i tried to switch to nova?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beyeond:
I am not using it but I did have it installed. Uninstalled and it's all gone. Thanks so much. I'm sorry if that post was not really meant for this thread. My only line of thinking was that I noticed nova launcher is like a system file that can't be uninstalled, so I started thinking I should convert. I have no idea why widgetsoid would just activate all the sudden, I used it once months ago and haven't even touched it since installing this ROM. But anyways, don't mean to be blaming my problems on the ROM. I appreciate the help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] beyeond:
I really appreciate that man, your support is the best, i'm still new to all this (this is the 4th ROM i've flashed but just started flashing a few weeks ago). I already made the mistake of making my original nandroid with CWM, then installing TWRP to flash my first ROM. Well that particular ROM was bug-tastic and I was freaking out cause I couldn't restore my backup. Got that fixed thanks to XDA.

So my plan for the next hour is to:

1. Restore back to stock. Install TWRP and make a stock nandroid and a backup of all the stock apps using apps2zip (awesome app).

2. Flash Odexed blue and make another nandroid.

3. Restore all my apps, contacts, sms, etc. and make one more nandroid.

Does this seem like a good idea to have backups like this? Also, how much space does a nandroid take up? I would think they're pretty big. I can store them online somehow right?

EDIT: Also, with TWRP, are the backups saved somewhere where I can easily find them and move them to external or to my computer? what extension are they?

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

What the hell? I'm getting a MD5 mismatch error in CWM when trying to restore. I just did a restore a reflash like 2 days ago because I screwed up some fonts and it worked fine... now all the sudden I can't restore.

---------- Post added at 11:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

That app is GSAM battery monitor
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] raybudd:
It's hard to say by the strange naming. That's why it's important to rename the backups soon as you can. I had the same issue. Also I typically don't save any backups except for the last one.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Optimal Carnage:
Thanks for the app name. To be honest im not sure if the newest one goes to the top or bottom. I renamed my original stock nandroid the day i got the phone and then I immediately rename any additional nandroids so i don't have to make several restores to determine the right ROM. I'm fairly certain that if theres any spaces or special characters when you rename the nandroid the restore will fail. The backups are infact typically dates but after ICS i believe the way nandroids are created got sort of borked. I know there's a much more technical reason than that I just dont know it lol. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I couldn't decipher the order so i just made one to find out what it would be named in relation to the time out where it would appear but it was third on their list. Did anyone know how to figure out which is which, and what happens if i flash one that has the mount volume errorat the end? Cause i have two of them in there that has the error.
