I disliked having to flash each font file every time I updated to a new nightly so I decided to make a flashable zip to flash after every nightly update. I'm using the Cyandelta app (Available on the Play Store) which offers the ability to flash additional zips when updating, automating the whole updating process.

I do not know if these will work for other ROMs other than CM10.1, but I'm willing to guess they will work for most if not all AOSP ROMs.

If they do not work, I have also linked the original TTF font files. I would recommend Font Changer to apply these TTF fonts, thread here, also available on the Play Store.

These flashable zips replace the Roboto fonts (Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic) in /system/fonts. Please back these up yourself, but just in case I will upload a backup Roboto flashable zip soon. As always, please use at your own risk, though I will do my best to test each zip before I upload it. This is my current font, its simple and clean.

*Important Note*

For a more complete font theming experience choose fonts with R B I BI this indicates that the font includes the Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic variations of the font.

Requests are always welcome, please provide a link to the font.

Also, of course if you are the owner of a font and would like for it to be removed from this thread please send me a PM and I will do my best to remove it as soon as possible.

Thanks would be appreciated if you are enjoying these files.

No flashing required. Just a restart. TON of fonts plus all kinds of ROM control
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Epikarus:
There are a lot of other apps on the market that install fonts for you, if you read my thread you could see that I even mentioned one. I update with Cyandelta, which I have mentioned in my thread. Using a Zip to install fonts allows people to add it to the flash queue making the nightly update process one touch, and one reboot. Your comment is irrelevant to this thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpcdeux:
Right. I guess there's people who'd rather flash than just restart. The old news and plethora of font threads makes this whole thread a waste of board space.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Epikarus:
Maybe you dont understand the concept here. Flash nightly means you revert back to DEFAULT fonts, meaning I have to boot after updating, then install the fonts, then reboot for the fonts to show. Using flashable zips allows ppl to install the fonts right after installing the nightly so you dont have to boot up twice.

I dont know how i could make it anymore simpler for you. I've tried flashing fonts from other forums. THEY DONT WORK. Searched this forum, there is no dedicated font thread. So this "plethora" you seem to mention is exactly none.

I want to root my Flyer. (I have never rooted before either) I currently still run the stock Gingerbread 2.3.4 on my Flyer. I would like to put ICS on it. Do I need to do S-Off first and then root? Or do I need to upgrade to Honeycomb and then root? Please help with rooting instructions as I have never done so.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TheWizardOfROMs:
First of all unlock your bootloader here.

Next download this recovery.

Put the recovery in the same folder as the fastboot tools (You should know what I'm saying if you unlocked the bootloader)

open cmd change the directory to the recovery plug the flyer with usb turn on usb debugging in the flyer and type the following commands

adb reboot bootloader ( this will boot in to fastboot mode)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Download Super SU here

Put the zip file somewhere in your tablet's sd card. Insert the SD in the flyer

Boot into recovery

Navigate to Install zip from SD card>Choose zip from SD card and install Super SU

and your done

Your Flyer will not be S-OFF but the bootloader will be unlocked

You can be on Gingerbread or on Honeycomb however you like :D

thank you very much
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kotetsukun:
There is a custom rom!

Well, in the last post, instead of flashing su, you could download DextersJB Zip file, then flash it. Then go to bootloader again and fastboot. Next, on your computer, connect flyer to pc and open command prompt. Then use winrar to extract the boot.img from the flyer folder of the zip file. then, go to command prompt and type: fastboot flash boot boot.img

FOR PhoneUI, use boot-htckeys.img

youre all set! now you are on Jellybeam, which is more better, smpother, and more recent than ICS!
[Asus Transformer TF700] olyfunk:
I'm trying to figure out why after downloading any file to my sd it goes into storage/sd0, and when I move the file it appears to move just fine to sd/downloads. However, when I go into TWRP recovery the files are not there. I have been troubleshooting this all morning and afternoon and it appears as though since flashing bb7 when it first dropped and then two days ago I flashed CROMI and now I'm apparently stuck here. Any help is appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
It's because you updated to a 4.2.1 rom and then downgraded to 4.1.1 again.

Unfortunately 4.2.1 reorganised your internal sdcard without asking as well as setting some folder links and now they are incompatible with your recovery and android 4.1.1

Best fix is to copy everything some where safe, make sure you have a flashable rom or a Nandroid Backup on external sd, wipe internal from recovery, reflash cromi and then rebuild your file structure manually.

Sorry. The BB7 guys should warn you imo.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sven_Vl:
Hey,

I'm having issues syncing my Google contacts. Apparently, it syncs EVERY contact I ever use in gmail.. All used email-addresses are in there, and some names pop-up multiple times.

This issue only appears in the messaging dialog. My phone-book is clean, I only selected 'my contacts' there & those are the wanted ones.

I've already encountered many topics on this, but none had a working solution. I'm not sure if it is something typically 'samsung' or if it appears on all devices (a friend of mine's HTC is OK)

How do you work around this?

- am I somehow able to tell google only to sync 'my contacts' instead of 'all contacts'?

- am I somehow able to filter the contact-list in the messaging dialog? (like the normal phone-book)

- do you guys simply use an other messaging app, that use the default phone-book?

- do you guys use some kind of specific syncing tool?

- .. ?

Thanks guys!

Sven
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sven_Vl:
I notice you can 'solve' it, by removing those 'all contacts' so that only 'my contacts' remain (quite logic I think ;) ). You can then go to your settings in gmail, and disable the 'auto add to contact' feature.

WARNING: by doing this, you will not see those other 'unsaved' email-addresses when you simply want to send an email! So, only do this if your contact-list is up-to-date. I just disabled that feature, hope I won't miss it too much.. :)

I have a ROMed Galaxy Note 2 and the battery life is amazing. My son on the other hand has a stock Galaxy S3 and it's the worst battery life I've ever witnessed. It's the typical draining while in standby issue reported by many S3 users. Bottom line, his phone is getting a ROM tonight before this phone melts down. Problem is, which one do I choose? There are so many and it would take me months to read thru every post to determine which one is right for him. So for now I'm going to focus on what really matters most, battery life.

Which ROM have you read about or used that you feel is battery life winner?

Thank you.

We are lucky to have MANY great ROM's out there. There are so many great devs here that go out of their ways to make the experience better. I highly suggest trying as many as you can, because each phone, after much experience with my ROM's, are different. Make a nandroid backup and try a bunch! What I'm getting at is that there are too many well made ROM's here to pick one. Flash away. :cool: Oh and make sure you turn off google now cards and locations...that will drain your battery like no other on this phone. Best of luck! :)

Now mind you me my device and my daily operations will differ from everyone else's but still gotta give credit where credit is due. Oh btw I'm running it with tasks underwear kernel. Sorry ktoons ;)

Thanks for all the input guys. Most of those mentioned were at the top of my list. Instead, I chose a "stable" Rom not mentioned here in this thread and it was buggy from the jump. I quickly bailed and went with CM10 and life is good so far.

I'm on Slimbean 4.2.1 RC1 with lean kernel and I have to say it is buttery smooth and stable, fast as can be, and I'm almost two days into it with ~45% charge. Loving it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duke4c:
For longest time I was swearing at CM10 / CM10.1 and than I found a thread about what affect battery and now both TW and CM based roms that I use are about the same...

To get great battery life follow the simple rules:

- stay away from colour. The darker the theme / icons are the better the battery life. Some go as far as to get inverted gapps...

- no live wall paper. It will affect battery life... yes, the darker the wallpaper the better the battery life...

- turn off GPS , bluetooth , nfc and everything else that you don't need... turn it back on when you need it...

I have 15 toggle mod and I even turn off data when I don't need it. (I turn it back on once every couple of hours to get e-mail and notifications... than turn it back off... this also prevents rouge apps from dialling back home to mothership...)

- if I travel from one location to the other I toggle airplane mode on and off... this forces modem to look for strongest tower... the strogner the tower the less power you need... hence less battery consumption...

- Use Ti Backup on roted rom... unistall what you obviously don't use..

- Google apps that run that you don't know what they do... stop or unistall those that you don't need...

- Use fierwall... block everything that doesn't need to talk to internet ... less you use antenna longer the battery life...

Also, if going to new ROM wipe battery stats and let battery fully discharge couple of times. This helps as well...

Follow these simple rules and don't be surprised if your battery life doubles regardless of the rom...

Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
While most of this makes sense, I have to disagree with discharging the battery fully. This actually reduces battery life drastically.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duke4c:
I agree but idea is that you let the kernel optimize it by itself.

So you do this only a few times on new rom and that's it...

As for myself I tend to plug in the S3 to charge as soon as I hit 60-70%...

(whenever I can of course - i actually keep one charger at home and one at work)

SIDENOTE:

Forgot to mention the widgets... to me they're just short-cuts and if you set them for automatic update (weather being prime example) they'll just waist battery and bandwith... (it takes about 1 sec to turn on the data from 15 toggle mod and 1 more to start the app I want updated - email weather whatever... to me this is a small price to pay for extended bat life...)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] agriff:
If I may toot my own horn, how about this guy getting four days from one charge with my ROM and ktoonz's kernel? http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36384974&postcount=95

I am trying to figure out which files i need to flash to do this. I tried to flash a stock ICS file but it didnt work and now the phone will not start up.

I can get into the stock recovery mode but it wont flash zip files. ODIN will not detect my phone. Im guessing its because the port is messed up.

Please help i need to fix this i need my phone for work.

Update.zip on the root of your sd card should work. I'm pretty sure I'd had to do that before. You are probably gonna have to order an external battery charger and a couple spare batteries off of Ebay. Only option left aside from taking the phone apart and resoldering the port back down.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crosis38:
So far i'm loving my new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 (i317m). I've modified the setting to bypass the lock screen when i click the Home button.

The issue i'm seeing now is the screen is blanked, i click the home button, i can see the app i was using before the blanking BUT the screen promptly flashes taking me to the Home screen.

Is there any way to have the lock screen removed AND to have the home button NOT take me to the home screen IF when the home button is pressed the screen was blanked? A simple IF conditional.

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sweetboy02125:
I'm trying to understand your AND statement "AND to have the home button NOT take me to the home screen IF when the home button is pressed the screen was blanked"

The first statement is easy, just pick no lock in settings but + AND statement? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crosis38:
Thanks so much for the response.

Yes the "AND" part is the tough part and the reason i asked it. I will clarify. The situation is this. I am well aware of the option Lock Screen >> Screen Lock | None. This was a useful option when i discovered it some time back as now when my unit blanks and i go to hit the home button to wake it up, the unit wakes and take me automatically to the Home screen bypassing the annoying Lock Screen. Terrific.

For those of us who have this option set will quickly notice an issue. If, for instance, one had Google Talk app running before the screen blanked, and later returned to wake up the unit by clicking the Home button (expecting to continue within GTalk), he will briefly see the GTalk app and then it will disappear and will now see the Home screen. One must now navigate back to the app.

I would like the Home button, if pressed to wake up the unit, to remain in the current application. This would be similar to the Power Button functionality. I'm hoping there is a "fix" for this nuisance.

UPDATE: It seems Samsung recognized this nuisance / bug and has corrected it within 4.1.2 but sadly it wont be available thru my Carrier for at least another 6 months (Canada is a bit slow with updates).

** I still would appreciate any work around in the meantime
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crosis38:
UPDATE:

I neglected to mention i had the settings of S-Voice modified disabling opening S-Voice if the double click of the Home button occurred. I did this to speed up any Home button clicks.

I just discovered if i have this settings enabled it appears to prevent the click of the Home button to wake from exiting the existing app. The prob now is my Home button takes 1 sec (as opposed to 0.4 secs) to snap back to home when pressed. Sheesh.

Ugly but it is a start.
