You can replace the font without root

Thanks to the OP for raising this issue and providing a good solution.

You can also replace the font without rooting. However, you need to flash Clockworkmod recovery, which will increment the flash counter and may as well void the warranty. You will need Heimdall suite or Odin, as well as Android SDK (for ADB).

Do the following steps:

1- Flash Clockworkmod recovery (not need to be permanent).

2- Boot into Clockwork recovery right after flashing it.

3- From Clockworkmod recovery, mount /system.

4- Rename the font you want to use to GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf and copy it in the android SDK platform-tools folder.

5- From your PC, do the following commands.

adb root
adb remount
adb push GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf /system/fonts/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/fonts/GS45_Arab_AndroidOS.ttf
adb kill-server

That's it. You can now reboot your device. No need to make Clockworkmod permanent. If the download mode shows Current Binary as CUSTOM, unplug your SD card, boot into stock recovery, and clear cache partition. The flash counter will be incremented though, but you can still get Samsung updates.

Does this work with android 4.3 ?
[Galaxy S III General] anonymousN12:
don't void your warranty !!

based on my title .. don't void your device warranty ..

don't root ur device .. bcoz now arabic fonts are available at Google Play .. the name of the app is " XQ55 " .. there are available some type of fonts to some type of Android .. KitKat also supported .. i hope my reply can help .. ?
[Galaxy S III General] frank087234:
Can we have More Than One Arabic font installed at one time????
[Galaxy S III General] tweetatoo:
It should work if you have a stock ROM. Custom ROMs have other method.

This method is to change the arabic font and in the same time to freely choose an english font from the display settings. Using the XQ55 App does not provide english fonts. :)

What do you mean? To choose from fonts? Maybe XQ55 App provides this.
[Galaxy S III General] Don_Zakaria:
XQ55 app changes your system font only. When browsing (by example) you still get the stock samsung font instead of the XQ55 one.

Amazing job

Hi thats cool font but in my mind if the font were bigger and bold this will be amazing can you do it for me :)

Hi all,

I need your opinion. I'm planning to buy a Sandisk 512MB SD Card. How much does it compare with the 256SD Card with regards to speed? Is reading/writing much slower because of its bigger size? BTW my device is XDA. Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] kdorff:
My understanding of speed diffs

I don't think 256 vs 512 will make speed differences. The speed differences come between specific cards. My brief research yesterday suggested to me that SanDisk are kinda slow, even the Ultra II cards. It seems the fastest card, consistently, is the Panasonic. I have a plain 256MB sandisk card it PocketMechanic benchmarks it at 0.7x. I will test my new Panasonic card when it arrives later today (hopefully!).

Just for comparison, Lexar 32x cards are rated at 4.8MB/s, the Panasonic is supposedly rated at 10MB/s.

Another data point, I saw a discussion on Amazon.com reviews about the SanDisk 512 and somebody stating it was faster than the 256.

All this leads to: you really need to benchmark the specific cards you are interested in to see if they meet your speed needs. Speed is really variable, people talking about a single process that takes 45 minutes on one card and just like 1 minute on another card (brand).
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] kdorff:
Got the panasonic card

I got the panasonic card. It writes at "2.9x" as opposed to "0.7x" I got with the stock sandisk. That is better than 4 times the speed. Benchmarked using Pocket Mechanic on an XDA.

I am currently on CM 10.1 and have issues with Bluetooth and my car. The phone does not send the song metadata and the playback is very choppy. I have heard if you go back to full stock and then reinstall CM, it can help. I am not sure the best way to go back to a full stock image and still be able to keep my root. Any help is appreciated!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Flash a stock TW Rom after a factory reset! But flash your stock firmware for YOUR model phone. Ex: AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, etc. Just any stock Rom can give you problems.. fyi

And you still should keep root:D. You lose root when you restore stock thru Odin...

HI there,

My phone is an international one- Unlockedd from the factory. The screen was broken so I had to change it. when I ordered screen from amazon there was an At&t logo on it. So when I replaced it and inserted the SIM, it doesn't show me T-Mobile Network . it just shows me At&t and when I try to connect to it it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" .

is it because the screen has an At&t logo ? . I tried inserting the sim in another phone and it worked and showed me T-mobile in the upper side of the screen.

my Line provider is Simple Mobile.

Thanks.

Well you need to wait for the bootloader to be unlocked and then flash a custom rom when they are made available. As someone new to android be sure to read a lot of various threads to get background knowledge and be careful. Rooting and flashing can potentially break your device if you don't know what you are doing. Just a friendly heads up. We have all been new to the rooting and flashing experience at one time or another.

Read the the threads in depth and best of luck when you make the leap

Hi Xda I'm currently trying to find out which pay methods will enable fastboot on my currently network locked R800a.

I've seen many threads stating that if I want fastboot I'll need to pay and thats fine but I was just wondering if Wotan server is one of the methods that will work for me.

Here are some of those threads stating I can pay but none point to Wotan as a actually one (from what I can see on wotans site they can Unlock the sim network lock and as a biproduct of that unlock it also unlocks the Boot loader but it doesn't state whether it will enable fast boot on an (R800a) or any others. It seems that on any generic XP unlocking the bootloader is all that's required to enable Fastboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330058 , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040779&highlight=enable+fastboot , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330058 , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18138850 , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497172&highlight=enable+fastboot , http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236892&highlight=enable+fastboot

My R800a is currently stock, network locked, unrooted, Bootloader unlock status allowed: no, and under the 12W11manufacturer date (12w09)

In the end I want my phone Network unlocked, rooted, bootloader unlocked with fastboot enabled so I can install CWM and customs roms/kernels the easy way. as opposed to having to find hard to find custom ftf kernels ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187172 )

Anyway if you read through all that thank you for your time and unlike some of those others I will actually post back to this thread if I get any solutions that work for me.

Could you let me know what your phone model is?

if so awesome I hope to do it tonight it's just that Unlock bootloader (can't post website) guy (some Xda member) promises to unlock fastboot

but Wotan doesn't. I emailed wotan yesterday but they're repsonse wasn't particulary helpful (I was asking a lot of other things too so maybe that's why they missed that one.) I'll post their responses here when I get the next one.

Heres are my messages with wotan server and their responses.

"Hi Wotanserver,

I have an R800a and after digging through countless XDA posts I was unable

to confirm whether Wotan server would work for me.

I have an R800a

Unrooted, Bootloader still locked, and Sim network locked.

Rooting Status:

Bootloader Unlock allowed: No (not to sure if this is super important or

not)

Manufacturer date 12W09 (manufactured before 12W11)

Locked to telstra (australia)

I would like to unlock the bootloader so I can run custom roms. I would

also like to Unlock the Sim network lock so I can use it off telstra. And i

would like to be able to use fastboot mode on my phone so i can install

custom roms through that method.

Is it possible to do all of this after using your "Network Unlocking Sony

Ericsson Xperia PLAY by USB" package?

If not what can I get done?

After this is done will I still need to run the official sony bootload

unlocker or not?

and when I end up purchasing this am I doing this by myself or is there

some one assisting me through vnc server like some other services I've seen?

Can't wait to hear from you

" Hi Tomas,

but will it enable Fastboot mode on my phone through your method? seems

like it's difficult to unlock fastboot on the (branded phones with unlock

For selling the phone? I don't really understand what you are asking. It would be worth more unlocked.
[HTC Droid DNA] kaliblazin707:
Ya if you wanna sell the cabinet DNA get it unlocked. Will increase value. Atleast by the ammount you spend on getting it rooted if not more. Besides, it will increase your chances of selling it at all
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I think as it ages it will be more likely to hold a better resale value when unlocked. Like say in three months, it would seem to me that the phone being collectable or so rare wouldnt mean squat since it will be an antiquated phone.

But if its unlocked and a user can run custom roms, it will increase its appeal because many people buy older phones because they are cheaper and they can run custom software to increase performance or make the phone seem more modern than it is.

Does anyone happen to know if you can pull the cpu binning info on a stock locked phone?

If the red presidents cabinet phone is binned better than your first phone, it should be more stable at higher overclock speeds with less voltage. You can Google DNA CPU binning for more information and when someone comments on if it can be pulled with ADB on a locked phone ill help you check them both.

Like simms said, the best would be to try as many ROMs as you can, or until you find the one that suits you the best. It takes some time, but it's worth it when you actually find that One that suits you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeatyMutaWings:
I honestly do not understand such a mentality.

It takes a long time and a lot of work to try out all these roms on the forums, it should be understandable that many people would rather just ask the community for opinions, surely you are right that each of us have different preferences, but we can contribute our own opinions so the OP would at least have somewhere to start.

Personally I`ve tried a lot of roms, and ended up sticking with rasbeanjelly because it`s the fastest and most stable for me, saberMod was also good but i prefer rasbeanjelly`s blue theme. I`ve spent some time with PA and other feature rich roms, but the initial attraction quickly fades and they do become boring and irritatingly slow compared to the cleaner, less bloated roms.

as of kernel I`m using Franco atm, my phone dislike the newer trinity releases but many older trinity versions were really good, but for me franco is the best right now.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
And this is precisely why these types of questions are redundant. They're like asking 'what's the best colour' or 'what's the best type of food'. All you've done is given a bunch of opinions which are in no way provable and if I disagreed with every one of them then your post would be invalid. For example, your point that feature rich ROMs become slow after a while is simply wrong, I've been using PA for 2 months and it's been fast and stable for all of this time, and I have no reason to get bored with it. Also imagine that you were a dev. You've put in hours of work to produce a ROM for FREE and release it for people to enjoy. Is it fair that people would suddenly start saying that your work isn't good to new users, on a public forum for everyone to see? No.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ranger:

Sorry for this short response but I don't have much time on my hands at the moment.

There are plenty of topics in this forum on upgrading using the SD Card method. You do need an SD reader/writer that can plug into your PC. You do need to get a copy of Jeffs tools [again link in this forum]. You also need an SD Card 32MB in size or greater.

Don't be afraid to search the forums for information. There is a wealth of it in there.

Have a look at these first. There are some things that you will need to know
